Conservation and % rationing of scarce materials. Taxes “higher than a cat's back” to prevent profiteering-and pay all the costs of de- _ fense. Credit curbs. Postponement of less essential public and private spending. “Before peace is won,” he said, “we shall have to come to this mobilization. It will never be easier to do than now.”

A MONTH of delay and hesitancy has increased the difficulties, and the longer we wait the more those difficulties will multiply. The wage-and-price spiral grows in momentum. Every day brings new dislocations. It's a mad scramble of everybody to get theirs while the getting is good. From this none gain permanently. In the long run all will lose. It is past time that the home front be organized and

disciplined with the same singleness of purpose that has strengthened the battle front in Korea.

Thugs Hate a Cop

5 CJOMMUNIST China has asked the United Nations to ~condemn the United States for “its criminal act” in the “armed invasion of Chinese territory,” because our seventh fleet is protecting Formosa from a Communist attack. That's even sillier than the Red Sharges of American “aggression” in Korea. Formosa was Japanese territory from 1895 until 1945, when Nationalist China took control, after United States had liberated the island through the defeat of Japan. Presi- - dent Roosevelt pledged to Chiang Kai-shek at Cairo in 1943 that the island would be given to China after the war. No one has invaded the island, although the Communists obviously want to. So they charge us with doing what they want to do, although they know as well as we do that we do not occupy any part of Formosa.

PRESIDENT Roosevelt had no legal right to give Formosa to China in advance of a formal treaty. But any

claim to the area as the successor government to the Chinese Hal --Nationalists—if they can take Formosa away from Chiang —was cancelled out by the Communists themselves when they repudiated all treaties and agreements Chiang had made with foreign governments. « President Truman now appears to have some doubt about the validity of Chiang’s title to Formosa, and has suggested that the issue may be submitted to the United Na--tions. In that event, the UN would be expected to put the question to those most concerned, the Formosans themselves, under the right of self-determination. But the Reds have no claim at all to the territory, and “by demanding the Tight to take it a admit their. AEETeR-. intent.

, DEAR BOSS .

BACKING ‘IMPERIALISTS’ ...

u. S. on ‘Wrong

MANY OBSERVERS are beginning to feel that the United States may have bitten off

~more than it can chew in the Truman program

to halt the spread of Communism in Asia, because of an Asiatic tendency to regard Communism as a mere form of native nationalism. We are under a further handicap, because the American position is compromised by our association with the French and British, the

«two major colonial powers in Asia.

In May, 1949, President Syngman Rhee of South Korea, Chiang Kai-shek of Nationalist China and Elpidio Quirino of the Philippines announced plans for an Asian alliance against Communism, patterned after the North Atlantic pact. American support was solicited. This alliance, if it had materialized, would ~ have given the anti-Communist forces native ~ leadership, without any tieup to European imperialism. But Secretary of State Acheson dismissed the proposal as “premature.” “Too late” might have been a more apt judgment. By that time Chiang Kai-shek had returned to Formosa and most of the Chinese mainland was under Red control.

Big Chance Passed Up

A POWERFUL alliance could have been formed, with American support, as long as Chiang held most of China, for the alliance

.then would have been headed by the most pop-

country in Asia, under a leader longest

identified with the anti-Communist cause, Such

a program then might have become a bandwagon movement. By 1949, Formosa, South Korea and the Philippines were all threatened areas. Today all three have their hands full with their own internal situations. India, second largest country in Asia, has divorced itself from any consideration as a member of an anti-Communist alliance, at least for the time being. Premier Nehru believes, or professes to. believe, that Red China is not a

threat to-its-neighbors-and.-not- subject to-Rus--

sian dictation. If he recognizes Russian communism as a new and particularly dangerous form of foreign imperialism, he does not admit it.

‘Nehru has taken the lead among the Inde

pendent nations in urging that Red China be seated in the United Nations. Possibly he has taken this position in-the belief that it will insure peace between India and the Peiping regime, headed by Mao Tse-tung. But his activity subjects his alleged neutrality to suspicion, because it places him closer to the Reds than it does to the West. Nehru also is outspoken in his criticism of the. American support of the position in Indo-China.

‘Malik Caught’

because Communist China wasn’t admitted, the Security Council was able to act because Russia was-shall we say—temporarily and temperamentally absent. In short, Mr. Malik was caught with his veto down. “Since that experience, why don't we kick Russia out of the United Nations? That would be fine, except we can’t kick Russia out of the world. President Lincoln might have kicked South Carolina out of the Union—if he could have also kicked her off the North American continent. “That being impossible we forced South Carolina to stay in the union and comply with her laws. So should it be with Russia and the United Nations,

‘Keep Them Talking’

“SUPPOSE Russia were kicked out, would that immobilize her armies, sink her submarines, ground her war planes? Would Russia be any less a menace out of United Nations than in? “I used to settle law suits. I learned that as long as I could keep the parties talking settlement was possible.” " No such optimistic view of “talking the matter out” was expressed in Washington this week-end by national American Legion Commander George N. Craig, Brazil, Ind. He would let the Kremlin know now that if any more satellite wars are started, the U.S.8.R. will get |

it nght on their home grounds.

The concentration on the Middle East brought the following charge: “Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan: and’ : Saudi Arabia have refused to take part in the U. S. venture in Korea or to send their troops to Korea. The reactionary rulers of these countries realize that their people will not shed their blood in the interest of Wall Street and U. S. ammunition manufacturers.” For home consumption, the Kremlin propaganda machine is voicing much the same line as that reiterated and repeated at the United Nations by Soviet Delegate Jacob Malik. jot Radio Moscow states that the U. 8. 8. R. ‘Academy of Se¢lenices has p to the United — Nations Security Council against “the unprecedented crimes (in Korea), as barbarous as the war crimes of the German Facist invaders.”
