The United States recognizes Nationalist China: so does the United Nations; but Great Britain recognizes Soviet China and labors for Stalin's satelite. i How can this paradox be re solved, as it must be? How can Great Britain maintain troops in Korea, where Soviet China is fight ing the Amerncans and the British Nations—and at the same time sup port the diplomacy of Soviet China? 4. The position of President Tru-, man is that we lack the manpower to maintain large forces in Korea and at the eame time send forces’ to Europe. Why then do we re-, fuse to accept the forces which' Chiang Kai-shek can give us? He; is still an ally as he has been dur-' ing the whole period of the war. Why should he be isolated? Prior to June 25, the Nationalists at-j tacked the mainland, but since that, date, our seventh fleet has been based on Formasa to keep Nation- 1 alist China inactive while Ameri cans are being killed. 5. The British seem to be man aging th Americen foreign policy. Why? Why must our policy be de-l signed to support British purposes?! 6. General MacArthur, it is true, was a field commander in a war. But he was also a statesman en gaged in the administration of a country, Japan. In this position, he gave evidence of being one of the most brilliant administrators in history. Never before has a con queror come among a defeated pople and so won their affections that they worshipped him. Is it not possible that Soviet China, through Great Britain and India, maneuvered this situation with the object of keeping Mac-J Arthur away from the conferences concerning peace with Japan? 7. Why is it that on the very! same day that the news was pub lished of the president's dismissal of MacArthur. the story was re-' leaser from London that Great Britain demanded that Soviet China be given a seat at the Japanese treaty conference, and the minister| for external affairs of Canada, Les- tr Bowles Pearson, announced that her own foreign policy without) Canada would henceforth follow regard to the United States? What was the purpose of three' simultaneous stories? 8. Why did the president de- tempt to prove his case against classify certain documents to at- Douglas MacArthur but did not de classify other documents, including the Wedemyer report on Korea written in 1947 and still in the dead file? Does the president believe that congress can long ignore the use of national data for private and political purposes? 9. How does it happen that the Democratic senators are now put ting the blame for the MacArthur dismissal on the joint chiefs of staff? Are we then to assume that President Truman acted on their recommendation? What is the rec ord? 10. How does it happen that General Eisenhower is permitted to deal with political questions in Europe while General MacArthur was not permitted to deal with political questions in Asia? After all. a commander-in-chief, the ad ministrator Japan, the representa tive of the Pnited Nations and the Far Eastern commission is a po litical as m»Tch as a military of ficial. 11. For what reason did Presi dent Truman issue the directive of Dec 6 which sealed the mouth, of very military man unless that person echoed the president? That dirctive is as binding on General Eisenhower as it was upon General Eisenhower be believed with re gard to anything he says after De- ember 6?

I T started the day the 1951 Roadmaster made its first appearance—and has been building up ever since. Folks looked at the fresh new styling—the power—the features—the fabrics—the cloud- soft cushions — and the prices — and said, “Here’s the smart buy in the fine-car field.” Why don’t you come and see for yourself what a sensational buy this proud beauty really is? It’s a honey to handle—a joy to ride in—and just about the handsomest thing on wheels. It has room, and poise, and a level-going gait that comes from coil springs front and rear. “V There’s a triumphant thrill in the willing obedience of its Fireball power and the lux urious ease of its Dynaflow Drive, which doesn’t cost you a penny extra. There’s a sweeping view fore and aft through broad and uncluttered glass areas, and the new clarity of an instrument panel with high visibility at night. Even the brakes are new, self-cooling, with a grip that takes hold like steel fingers in a velvet glove.
