Soviet in Korea Finds

WASHINGTON, June 23 — We all remember the jubiliation of V-J
In Europe, the Allies had defeated Italy and Germany. In Asia the United States, fighting almost alone except for the aid
of the beleaguered Chinese, had finally brought down :
imperial Japan.
Permanent peace had never seemed closer to those who thought that communism was just an
economic theory.
Today, less than six years later, we are again involved in large-scale war. At the moment the actual fighting, as far as we are concerned, is limited to Korea. But barring a miracle future historians will record that we already have entered World War IIL Certainly, the Kremlin through its satellites is at
war with us.
In Korea we have sustained 70,000 combat cas-
Rep. Walter Judd oo. ""We lost in Pacific.”
ualties and the South Koreans, our principal fighting allies, have sustained 450,000 more. To Korea we have committed a greater percentage of our existing fighting power than was committed to a single theater
in World War II. At V-J Day we had the
greatest military machine
the worid had ever seen. We threw it away in the following six months. Now, painfully and at great cost, we are trying to build another one. Obviously 4 peace which lasted only flve years was no peace at all—merely an interlude in fighting. o =
s MY THESIS in this and in succeeding articles whic: I have been invited to write for The Times is that World War II in the Pacific was won—but not by us: In Asia, where our purpose was to prevent any enemy from gaining the manpower and raw materials of East Asia and turning them against us, we lost the war. That manpower and those raw materials are now controlled by Russia. It is true that we have managed to keep Japan, a highly industrialized area, from going behind the
‘ Iron Curtain.
But the patience of the Kremlin is inexhaustible. They believe that ultimately the American people will tire of spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year on Japan and that when we do, Japan, however firmly the Japanese believe in freedom, will fall like an over-ripe plum. Meanwhile, having China, the heart of Asia, the Russians can pick off a conquest here and a conquest there, by-pass-ing Japan until Japan is ready for picking. They have already succeeded, through the example of China, in neutralizing India. » » 2 BUT FOR our belated intervention in Korea, after we had pulled out our troops and announced, in effect, that Russia could have the whole of that peninsula, South Korea would already be within the Russian orbit. : If we lose in Korea, the fighting is transferred to IndoChina, Japan and Formosa. Next would go the Philippines. Ultimately the American western defense line would be somewhere off San Francisco. - America’s present peril arises from the failure of our political and military leaders—as the Russians, their sympathizers and agents among us clearly realized — that the destruction of the military power of Germany and Japan was not an end in itself. Whatever the threat Germany and Japan posed to our security—and it fully justified our entry into World War II— it is a fact of history that Germany and Japan traditionally had been the barriers to Russian expansion. » tJ tJ
RUSSIA understood this. We didn’t. Partly under pressure from the pro-Russians in this country, our government postponed obtaining agreements from Russia on the post-war settlements, until Russia cared very little how we felt. Often our proposals were astonishingly similar to those of Russia
" herself.
This was hardly an aceident, As late as the Potsdam Conference, more than 100 of the specified proposals we offered for the reconstruction of Germany
trol Qver .. Manchuria."
had been worked out by two employees of the U. 8. Treasury Department, both of Russian descent, one of whom, now dead, was named as a supplier of information to a Communist spy-ring. These men authored the socalled Morgenthau plan for turning Germany into a purely agricultural country, as the way to prevent her making war again. The idea was that without industries Germany could never rearm. But even as they proposed this, the plan was afoot to strip Germany of her eastern farmlands. 5 8 8
WITHOUT industries and without agricultural lands, the city populations of Germany would turn in ‘despair to communism. This was what our pro-Communists wanted to happen—under.- the pretext that they were protecting us against World War III. The comparable plan for Japan was to depose the Emperor and impose democracy—Com-munist-style—on the Japanese, as though democracy is something that can be enforced from without. Gen. MacArthur blocked that plan in Japan and was remarkably successful in fostering genuine democracy. But it was at the cost of a run-
ning battle with our State De-
partment. Three weeks after the occupation began, he was publicly spanked by Dean Acheson, who said the occupation forces were the “instruments” of U. 8. foreign policy, not the makers. On the Asiatic mainland the pro-Russians had their major success. Roosevelt and Churchill had pledged in their meeting at sea that there would be no postwar territorial changes without the freely expressed consent of the population involved. But at Yalta, behind China’s back, they ceded Stalin control over the major ports and railroads of Manchuria. # ” »
MANCHURIA is the indus-
trial heart of China. Who controls the communications of Manchuria controls Manchuria. Who controls Manchuria, controls China. Who controls China, as we are seeing work out in practice, ultimately controls Asia, unless there is decisive intervention. Former Under Secretary of State Sumner Welles has condemned the Yalta agreement. He says that in promising Stalin in writing to obtain China’s agreement to the cession of practical control over Manchuria, Roosevelt and Churchill implicitly pledged Stalin to use armed force against China if she refused. Morally, there is no justification for Yalta. But I have heard Secretary Acheson attempt to justify that agreement on the ground that it did bring Russia’s promise to enter the war against Japan (six days before the surrender)-—thereby reducing the loss of American lives. “I myself had a son on a destroyer in the Pacific,” he added in his apology.
- o IT IS understandable to be thinking of one’s own. But Pendell Willkie once said, ‘Every drop of blood saved by expediency will be paid for by
- 20 drawn by the sword.” That we have seen happen in Korea.

Among the critics of American policy in Asia, none exceeds Rep. Walter Judd of Minnesota in his grasp of the subject. He has spent many years in China as a physician, surgeon and missionary. Long ago he pointed out the consequences of our postwar attitude in China. Events have borne out his predictions.
As a service to the readers of The Times, Congressman Judd was invited to write several articles on how we got where we are in Asia and what we should do now. This is his first.

Prices Soaring Be ary
Tomorrow is the birthday of a fresh-foaled fear, a year-old war which never grew up, : But in the tragic Korean seesaw, its cruel marches on frostbitten feet, its wounds so quickly sealed by frozen blood, the home front boiled and churned around shopping counters, grabbed and uged. In Indianapolis prices took off like mortar shells, and wages stampeded to higher ground. Defense plants coaxed skilled labor, sugared pay envelopes with over time.
Increase in Jobs
Employment jumped. Sam Springer, director of the Indianapolis office of the State Employ ment Security Division, reported jobs in town have increased from 272,150 to 302,700 in the year. Unemployment dropped fro Im 9000 to 4000, the bottom of the barrel with job openings still list-| ed at 3867. |

What could have prevented the Yalta agreement? Several things. A firm moral stand in support of our Cairo pledge to China, more attention to air force and Navy reports of declining Japanese resistance in Asia, listening to Gen. MacArthur's advice in August, 1944, that Japan was already licked. But there were opportunities after Yalta to repair the damage. One of these was when Gen, George OC. Marshall went to China with a directive to make post-war American aid to China conditional upon Chaing Kaishek’s acceptance of the Communists in a coalition government. By making unity with the Communists a condition of our aid, we gave the Chinese Reds the veto power over American assistance to Free China. How much better if we had said to Chiang: ‘You have ibeen ravaged by eight ycars of war with Japan, 20 ycars of war with the Communists. You must make every attempt to create the internal conditions which will add to your popular support. But if you sincerely try and still fail, we're still behind you.”
INSTEAD we called for a coalition between the Communists and the Nationalists. The Communists have never entered a coalition except for the purpose of taking it over. Although we let the Communists by their obstructionist tactics veto our aid to the Free Chinese, the Chinese Nationalists had no comparable veto over Russian aid to the Communists. Thus our deciding not to support Free China was not the act of neutrality our leaders imagined it “o be. It was negative intervention against Free China. Some may say, “But we might not have succeeded in holding up Free China.” Before I was a Congressman, I practiced surgery. Often I had patients as sick as China was after the war. Seldom was the choice as easy as “Can I guarantee the patient will recover.” Usually it was: “If I operate there is some hope. If I don’t operate the patient will surely die.” We chose not to operate in China. We're now trying to pull off an emergency operation in Korea, where the chances of recovery are much less. Many people who were on the ground in China in the critical years after the war beli¥e that less of an effort than we are now making in Korea would have eliminated the cancer before it spread. NEXT: How we let down Korea before the invasion.
