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 We had withdrawn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withdrawn our troops.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

Quemoy.
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.
