1 President Apparently
Still Playing Politics
In War.
By ROGER BABSON
Gloucester, Mass., Aug. 10—The
country is disappointed by setbacks
In Korea and alarmed at the possible
prospect of a third World War less
than five years after the second. Ev
en if we do succeed in Korea, it will
not cause enthusiasm among us—on
ly relief. For all thinking Arreri-
cans know by now
that th Russian ob
jective is subjection
of the whole world.
So, of . course, any
“peaceful’ solution
of the Korean pro
blem can only be
temporary. For Rus-
j,sia’s policy is to di
vert America’s at
tention from her
strategy, disperse
and scatter U. S. troops as thinly as
possible all over the globe and to
attack all “soft spots" everywhere
from without or within.
Past Stupidity
We may be our own worst eni-
mies. We have been blind and fool
ish and some among us have even
committed treason. Who on behalf of
the U. S. consented at Yalta to the
cutting in half of Korea, with Rus
sia given control of the beat devel
oped industrial part of the country?
Who withdrew U. S. aid to Nation
alist China because Chtang Kai-shek
refused to take Communists into the
government? China would have been
a bulwark against tyranny in the Or-
% ient. Who denied the military im
portance of Korea and Formosa on
ly a few months ago?
Who ordered State Department
files stripped of “derogatory’’ infor
mation on employes as early as four
years ago? Who put Alger Hiss in
high position at the formation of the
U. N. and at the world-dividing con
ference at Yalta? Who partioned
Germany so that the U.S., Britain
and France had no access to its main
city and capital except by grace of
the Russians?
Who withdrew our forces from
Korea months ago? Who failed to
deliver what the Non-Communist
government asked in military sup
plies? It doesn’t look to me as if our
government has been operating for
us. Its actions have encouraged the
spread of communism, caused us an
xiety of mind and a lien on our pock-
etbook.
Present Political Trends
Months ago Senators Taft Know-
land, and McCarthy, among others,
attention to the danger in the Orient
and the need from protective action.
Today the President stil appears
loath to reorganize the government
on a non-partisan basis. There is still
a failure to appoint the best brains
and ability in the country to the most
important administrative positions.
Also there is a general feeling in
Congress that all of Russia’s friends
have not been cleaned out of gov
ernment depatments.
if a real emergency develops in
the near future, we have reason to
believe that price, wage and mater
ial controls will go into effect im
mediately Yet, it looks as if nec
essary action would be delayed if
possible until after the coming Con
gressional elections.
If controls come again, we should
let our own Congressmen know that
we want good judgment and re
straint on the President’s appoint
ees to control jobs. The American
people know that they were pushed
around by quite a few political crack
pots of questionable loyalty during
