Strom During the.papt few weeks you have read almost daily of various efforts to try to cause the Presi dent to reveal exactly what policy- will be followed in the Pacific. This has been particularly true with regard to the islands of Mat su and Quemoy. Some people seem to feel that President Eisenhower should spell out the plan which would be followed by the United States if the Reds should attack, these is lands near the Chinese mainland. The critics of the President’s pol icy of keeping his own counsel ap pear to want everybody—including Red China and Soviet Russia—to know where and when we would fight and under what conditions. They want the lines drawn around the areas which we would protect from attack and to let our enemies know we would not protect areas outside those lines. I recall a fairly recent example of bad results from letting'every body know what we were doing. On January 12, 1950, President Truman’s Secretary of State, Dean Acheson, made a speech in which he defined the defensive perimeter of the United States in the Pacific. He stated it ran from the Aleu tians to Japan, the Ryukyu Islands and through the Philippines. That left Korea out of the stat ed interests of this nation. Late in June 1950 the Reds mafrched into South Korea. We had withdrawn most of our forces in compliance with an agreemept to let Korea look after its own affairs. But the Reds had been fully informed of our intentions. They knew we had withdrawn our troops. They thought because of the Acheson speech that we would not fight 6ver Korea. Congress has voted almost un animously to give the President the power to determine whether we should defend Matsu and Que moy which could serve the Reds as stepping stones for an attack on Formosa. We are already com mitted to fight with Chiang-Kai- Shek should the Reds directly at tack the Nationalist stronghold of Formosa or the Pescadores is lands. With the experience gained from Korea, there is sound rev on in the President’s policy of si lence as to what we would do if the Reds attacked Matsu and Deed Transfers Newberry No. 1 Frank M.

So long as the Reds can be kept from making an attack by the policy of keeping them guess ing as to what the United States would do, I am in favor of follow ing such a policy. It would be an open invitation to the Reds to take over those islands if we told the world they weje outside our perimeter of defense. All of us must realize there is no fool proof policy against com munist aggression. If the Reds be lieve' themselves strong enough, and decide to attack regardless of • our strength, we can not prevent it. Congress has expressed confi dence in the President’s military knowledge and in his judgment! Every American should lend his support to the President’s policy. We must remember that he is more fully informed than any other person as to the dangers and necessities of this situation. As we stand together in war, wj should stand together without po litical considerations in trying to prevent war by cooperating with our Chief Executive in preserving the peace and stopping aggression.
