President's Attempt to Compromise Differences On Far East Policy Called ‘Not Promising’ By CLYDE FARNSWORTH, Scripps-Howard Staff Writer . EN ROUTE TO THE TRUMAN-MACARTHUR MEETING, ‘Oct. 13—President Truman’s long-distance attempt to compose the difference between his adminis-| tration’s Far East policy and the views of Gen. Douglas, MacArthur, its leading critic, doesn’t look very promising. The President has not explicitly called that the

The difference between the General and the Truman administration, however, goes further than a strategic analysis of Formosa’s value in the Pacific. It touches the basic character of Oriental communism, its relation fo the millions living under it and their relation to it.
