described as “local”. But on our de
termination to win it militarily de
pends the future of America’s out
post in the Pacific.
Pacific At Stake
It is not Korea itself which is of
paramount importance. But on what
happens to our forces there depends
the futtire of Japan, the Philippines
and possibly Australia. Unless our
military prestige is reestablished in
that populous portion of the world,
it is not difficult to conceive that
Japan and the Philipines, to say
nothing of the whole of southeast
continental Asia and the Indonesian
republic, may fall prey to the Mus
covites.
The pro-American government of
Prime Minister Yoshida was over
thrown in Japan, not because he used
insulting language toward one of his
op^nents in the Diet, but because
the timid members of the Japanese
Parliament feared that he was work
ing in too • close association with
Washington.
The fundamental reason for Yo-
shida’s downfall is that he secretly
favored a thorough Japanese rearm-
ament and intended to ask for some)
changes in the Constitution to allow
him to take such* steps.
Gen. Eisenhower’a statement that
Asiatics should be entitled to fight
the Red Asiatics had more sighlfi-
cance in Japan than it has here
where it was considered only one of
those political wishful expressions to
which we have grown accustomed.
Japan can, with the assistance of the
United States, organize a military
force of not less than 1,000,000 men
and thus oppose any attempt of the
Reds to take over the country which
is one of the most important bastions
of our Pacific defense. They could
do this without any American ground
forces. It is possible that Yoshida
will emerge as the winner of the next
election to be held in a few weeks.
In that case he will be able to put
into effect policies which will have
the blessings and assistance of the
United States. That will cost us
money.
The creartion of a single front from
Korea to Malaya is in the making
c tiow. Militarily it is regarded as an
important step to ease the Asian sit
uation. Politically, it will be more
difficult to accomplish because Con
gress is likely to balk at spending
on Indo-China an additional $1 bil
lion when the control of these funds
remains entirely in the hands of the
French command. And the French
are too sensitive to permit American
controllers to supervise the manner
in which these funds are to be spent
and advise on military strategy.
Our understanding of a “common
front” is to have a strongly co-ordi
nated action from Korea to Saigon
in which the American high com
mand would have a decisive voice.
The French understanding, at pres
ent, is that we should provide all the
needed supplies and possibly some
air and navel aces, but all these
should be subordinated to the French
commander in chief. Unless these
differences can be irnoed out, the
chances of creating the “front
unique” are slim at this time.
Attempts will be ipade in the near
future to Tncfease the meager al
lowances to Chiang Kai-shek’s Na
tionalist forces in Formosa to per
mit them to undertake diversionary
actions on the Chinese mainland and
possibQy to reconquer Hainan Island
which was taken over two years ago

“The next war—and all of us
pray it will be avoided—is likely to
explode in a big smash. Cities may
be all but obliterated. Who knows

“You face a simple issue,” Ba
ruch said in a statement to the Sen

to take the elementary precaution
of writing into law now what we
know would have to be done in
event of emergency?
“Or shall we neglect this vital
measure of defense and, in doing
so, increase the risk of war, add
to the toll of dead and wounded if
war does come and make inflation
certain—all needlessly?”
