ROBERT S. ALLEN
If we desire to secure peace ... It must be
known that we are at all time* ready for war.
George Washington todiCongres, 1793
Looking ’Em Over
Recognition and Veto
The United States has rebuffed the
Chinese Communist regime in its bid for
diplomatic recognition Its decision makes
sense.
There are three practical reasons for
delaying recognition. None has anything
to d’o with the general policy issue of
whether the nation should take a step
that would be interpreted as "approval
of the Communist government.
For one thing. Red authorities in China
have demonstrated their inability or un-
willingness to protect American diplo-
mats in Communist-held areas. More than
that, thev have on. occasion even seized
them and inflicted physical injury upon
them Up to now no evidence exists of a
change in this situation.
Secondly, the Communists have not as-
sured the’ American government or any
other that they intend to respect Chinas
present international obligations Until
it shows signs of honoring the country’ s
agreements, it cannot expect speedy at-
tention for its recognition bid.
Lastly, the new Red regime cannot yet
speak with authority for the whole of
China. The Communists currently hold
just a little more of the country than did
the Japanese at the peak ot their ortensive.
Secretary of State Dean Acheson has
made plain that unless the Communist
government really controls Chinese terri-
tory and will observe international com-
mitments. there is no.point in extending
recognition.
"We do not establish an embassy or
legation in a foreign country to show ap-
proval of its government," he said re-
cently, "We do so to have a channel
through which to conduct essential gov-
ernmental relations and protect legitimate
U. S. interests.'’ ■
This country has agreed, however, to
consult with other nations on the recog-
nition question And among those Great
Britain unquestionably will seek to hasten
the establishing of diplomatic relations
with Red China Britain’s trade interests
are the greatest of any foreigner there,
and pressure is already heavy to create
a more normal arrangement to safeguard
that business.
But because it is eager to preserve a
solid front with the United States. Britain
may accept a considerable delay. One
prospect is that the United Nations might
be asked to send a commission to China to
determine whether the Red government
or the Nationalist, regime is the author-
ity. And there is a bare chance that rec-
ority. And there is a bare chance that re-
ognition might be accorded simultaneous-
ly by all North Atlantic Treaty countries
Barring an unforeseen reversal of for-
tune for the Chinese Communists, recogni-
tion apparently will come to them in time.
After that the western powers face an
even tougher dilemma What to do when
the Communist government demands
China’s permanent seat on the United
Nations Security Council This seat carries
with it the veto power Added to Russia’s
it would almost inevitably mean more
trouble than ever in getting decisive coun-
cil action.
Yet it is difficult to see how the post can
be denied to a government that will have
been recognized as the legitimate au-
thority in China.
Thorn in Russia's Side
How long can Marshal Tito of Yugosla
via remain a thorn in Russia s side:
The Soviet Union and her eastern
European satellites nave scrapped wno.e-
saie me mutual aid and trienasmy treaties
they had with Yugoslavia, emphasizing
that stronger measures are in the making
to stamp out Tito s mutiny.
Foreign affairs observers believe the
Kreman nas decided it can no longer tol-
erate the challenge of Titoism. This rebel-
uon tends more and more every day to
damage Russian prestige before tne world
and undermine the jerry-built structure of
Soviet relations win its immediate neign-
bors.
But it seems likely that Tito, embold-
ened by economic aid from the- United
and the prospect of more heap from otner
western powers, will resist all attempts
to crush him by mere political pressure
and economic strangulation.
In fact, some American and British ex-
perts are said to have concluded that Mos-
cow can only break Tito if it is w illing to
use the Red Army. Tito has aiready shown
that he can deal effectively with Russian-
inspired sabotage and guerrilla attacks.
More strenuous tactics would appear to
be the only other course open.
If invasion is indeed the sole avenue
left to the irritated Soviet leaders, the
question is how the attack might be man-
aged to keep it from spreading to a conti-
nent-wide or world conflict.
One suggestion is that the Russians
might employ assault units dressed up as
anti-Tito Yugoslavs. The aim would be to
give the world the impression that the
outbreak was a civil uprising patter. 2
on the Greek war. It could then be fed by
men and materials pushed across Yugo-
slavia’s borders by neighboring Russian
satellites.
The approach is unlikely, however, to
fool world opinion, no less than if the at-
tack were an unconcealed Soviet enter-
prise. Yugoslavia is certain to ask the
United Nations, in such an event, to con-
demn the use of force against her.
However an attack would be mounted,
the United States and other western
nations probably would step up economic
assistance to Tito and even send consider-
able amounts of military equipment
This help almost certainly would fall
short of any outright commitment to de-
fend Tito with Western armies. But the
risk of involvement for the Western
powers would still be very great, inas-
much as Russia would feel compelled to
choke off the flow of outside aid as com-
pletely as possible
Things having gone as far as they have,
is there any way of persuading the Soviet
Union not to undertake this final critical
stage in her effort to destroy Tito?
Perhaps if Russia can be made to realize
how great is the likelihood of an unman-
ageable world war instead of a neatly
controlled local conflict with Yugoslavia,
she will be deterred from using force.

Where Aid Plan Failing
By DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, (NEA -As a propaganda
weapon against communism in France the
Marshall Plan is reported to have fallen flat
on its face And in a result the chances of
the plan achieving its basic economic aims
there are seriously jeopardized
This is revealed in a report of the joint con-
gressional ECA watchdog committee It is a
penetrating study made by two staff members
of the committee who spent practically all sum-
mer in France analyzing the problem They
are public relations experts Robert L Fallow
and Gabriel R Vogliotti.
Unfortunately, Fallow and Vogliotti dis-
covered most of the causes for the failure to
sell the French people on the merits of the
plan are nothing that ECA officials can do
much about They exist in the peculiar post-
war state of mind of the average Frenchman
and in French sensitivity, resistance, trucu-
lence.” The report states:
Frances fierce pride is one of the elements
slowing down he operation of the Marshall
Plan To be told that the bread they eat con-
tains free flour, their rails made of donated
steel their currency backed by donated money,
is galling The suggestion that Frenchmen
should be grateful arouses an antagonism so
fierce as to jeopardize the negotiations neces-
sary to the various projects in the Marshall
Plan
ECSs American administrators and pub-
licist have long since learned that the kiss of
death for any publicity project is the sugges-
tion from any quarter that the United States
is doing it out of a kind heart or that it is a
gift, or that France should hr grateful Rut the
fact remains that ECA aid is free aid and
France bridles at the thought
"CHIP ON ITS SHOULDER"
Past events have created a French attitude
of mind which is almost hysterically opposed
, to any hint of domination and a belligerent
attitude even toward the best intentioned ad-
vice. France has a chip on its shoulder that
has no counterpart in, say Belgium, England,
or Italy.
"The consequences of this attitude, so diffi-
cult to visualize in the United States and so
real an obstacle in France, are Immediate
They „ have a direct bearing on the rate of
progress of the Marshall Plan."
In their efforts to break down these national
phobias, ECA’s public relations men have been
hampered by lack of co-operation from the
French press, the report states:
“The French press, the non - Communist
press, is lying down. It is not championing
the Marshall Plan. It is not news that many
of the leading newspapers of France can be
bought and that their reputation for venality
is pretty well founded As a result any paper
adopting a strong position on an issue is in-
evitably charged with a sell-out in an issue
as controversial as the Marshall Plan
papers have cared to go all out."
LITTLE OFFICIAL SUPPORT
no
The French government’s apparent lack
enthusiasm in helping ECA officials to sell the
plan to the French people is explained in the
report •
Government inaction stems from the' fact
that the present government is a coalition in-
corporating a wide range of violently conflict-
ing economic groups As a general proposition
it is unquestionable that the coalition govern-
ment has endorsed the Marshall Plan But even
the groups most favorably disposed toward
Marshall Plan measures are hesitant about too
of
strong an advocacy of its requirements for fear
of scathing charges that they are obeying for-
eign masters"
Commenting on this part of the report, ECA
Administrator Paul Hoffman says:
‘ While it is true that the French government
could do more in publicizing the Marshall Plan
to the French people, we do not believe that
it ia accurate to say, as the report does, that
the French government is mute on the Mar-
shall Plan There are evidences at hand to dis-
pute such an arbitrary statement."
Due credit is given in the report to the ef-
forts and work of the ECA information
"The ECA information team has made an
intelligent and consistent effort to get the west-
ern side of the story across to France This is
not to say that it has succeeded the odds
against its doing so on its own are too great
But no account of information on the Marshall
Plan in France should slight the intensity of
its work, the ability of its staff, and its under-
standing of the delicacy of the job.’’

MATTER OF FACT
A Few Facts For Admirals
By JOSEPH AND STEWART
ALSOP
WASHINGTON. — In the cur-
rent shocking outburst of the feud
between the Armed Services, not
the least shocking feature is the
display of bland contempt for
plain facts. For example, more
than half of the naval aviators’
angry testimony has been aimed
to prove the worthlessness of stra-
tegic aviation by proving the
worthlessness of the B-36 Yet this
is obvious nonsense.
Moreover, the nonsense must be
well understood by Admiral A. W.
Radford, who has organized and
is leading the naval aviators' at-
tack on service unification. For
Admiral Radford must at least be
familiar with the broad outlines of
our war plans. And if Admiral
Radford has this much knowledge,
he must also know that the 8-36
groups are merely the most publi-
cized element in the American
strategic air arm.
In the originally projected sev-
enty - group Air Force twenty
groups were assigned to the stra-
tegic air arm. of which no more
than six would have been B-36
groups In the reduced Air Force
resulting from President Tru-
man’s peculiar decision to halt the
American defense build-up, four-
teen groups are assigned to the
strategic air arm, of which only
four are B-36 groups.
At present, the other groups
composing the strategic air arm
are equipped with modernized B-
29s and B-50s. But as soon as the
Boeing Company can get the plane
into full production, all the B-29s
and B-50s will be replaced with B-
47s. This new six-jet bomber has
been specifically exempted by the
naval aviators from the criticism
of the B-36 And so it must be,
for the B-47 will combine truly re-
markable speed and altitude char-
acteristics which are still classi-
fied with range equivalent to the
B-29 range.
GOOD BALANCE
This balance between longer and
shorter range aircraft with n the
strategic air arm, represents a
reasoned decision by Generals
Hoyt Vandenberg, Joseph T. Mc-
Narney and the other Air Force
leaders, which’ was in turn con-
firmed by General Dwight D. Eis-
enhower and the Joint Chiefs of
S aff. Under this decision, the bulk
of the strategic air arm will be
composed of shorter range planes
that will operate from overseas
bases, precisely because such
planes can have better speed and
altitude characteristics, but an in-
tercontinental element is also nec-
essary, in order to reduce the
temptation to try to seize our over-
seas bases. This intercontinental
element is provided by the B-36.
In short, the decision last winter
to equip four groups with the B-36.
was a calculated risk. And another
decision was simultaneously tak-
en to press forward with produc-
tion of the B-47 with all speed If
the admirals were logical, they
ought to attack the whole deci-
sion. and not a part *
Unfortunately, logic has been
less conspicuous in the recent tes-
timony than courage and intensity
of feeling And this is perhaps the
case because the whole trouble
started with Secretary of Defense
Louis Johnson s cancellation of the
Navy's giant carrier.
In brief, the admirals have sue-
cessively said that atomic bombs
could not be delivered to strategic
targets because the destruction of
such targets would not be deci-
sive. and because the whole busi-
ness was immoral and irreligious.
Yet the giant carrier was intend-
ed to gain for the Navy a share of
the Air Force’s strategic air mis-
•ion And the carrier was there-
fore to do all the things the ad-
mirals have doubted or de-
nounced.
The carrier could not be justi-
fied in any other way, and its role
as a strategic air weapon was in
fact admitted by its proponents, to
the Joint Chiefs of Staff Further-
more. there are unavoidable lim-
itations on the performance of air-
craft that must take off from and
land on carriers, however gigan-
tic. All the criticisms of strategic
aviation by Captain Trapnell, Ad-
miral Ofstie and their colleagues
apply to the bombers that would
have operated from the giant car-
rier In almost every way, the
performance of these bombers
would have been inferior to the
performance of the B-47.
What then is all the shouting
about? The answer is simple The
shouting is' about Secretary John-
son’s attempt to confine the Navy
to its primary mission of main-
taining control of the seas, allotted
to it by General Dwight D Eisen-
hower and the Joint Chiefs of
Staff.
WASHINGTON, October 15—De-
sp te the congressional fulminating
against him. Major General Harry
Vaughan will get a 25 percent in-
crease in pay.
The White House Aide will get
this boost under the military pay
raise bill voted by Congress.
As an officer on active duty,
Vaughan is on the Army payroll.
Under the bill, the pay of generals
Is increased 25 percent For
Vaughan that will mean an addi-
tional $2,304 per year: boosting his
pay from $11 457 to $13 761
In addition, he gets $1,800 rental
and $504 subsistence allowances.
Also, a car and driver, and travel
pay. The increased pay scale
will also apply to Vaughan's pen-
sion as a Reserve Officer.
UP AND KICKING
Two days after his lung opera-
tion Senator Arthur Vandenberg
(R., Mich.) sat up in bed for
breakfast. The nurse brought in a
steaming bowl of cereal. The
foreign affairs leader eyed it with
marked distaste.
"Miss." he said. "I didn't eat
that stuff when I was well, and I
certainly don’t intend to start
while I'm sick. You'll have to get
me something else I'm hungry
and I want a good breakfast."
FARM BATTLE
Neither a White House confer-
ence nor a Democratic caucus
succeeded in budging Senator
Cl nton Anderson 'D. N M.) from
his anti-Administration stand on
the farm parity price issue.
The former Secretary of Agricul-
ture stood pat on his 75-to-90 per-
cent sliding-scale bill, favored by
the American Farm Bureau Fed-
eration.
On the day the Senate was to
vote on the embattled legislation.
President Truman summoned An-
derson and other Democratic lead-
ers to the White House in the hope
of winning the former over The
President got nowhere Anderson
went in bristling and came out the
same way.
As the pow-wow got under way.
Representative Harold D Cooley
'D N.C.) remarked to Anderson.
"Well, I see you have reversed
yourself since our last meeting in
August.”
Who reversed himself?" angrily
retorted Anderson.
Before the exchange went any
further, the President broke in
firmly, "Let’s not have any wran-
gling. Let's get down to business
and confine ourselves to it."
Truman made it clear he favors
highprice supports for non-perish-
able farm commodities, and is op-
posed to the Aiken-Hope Act
enacted by the 80th Congress. This

Senator Elmer Thoma* (D., 1

Committee, announced he was in A
agreement with the President. An- D
derson and Senator Scott Lucas.
III. Democratic Floor Leader, said
nothing.
"Well," remarked Truman point-
edly “I am still against the Al-
ken-Hope Act." A
The meeting broke up on o
that inconclusive note. ▼
Democratic Floor Leader John
McCormack, Mass., returned to
the House, he told colleagues, I
guess the only thing left la to go
into a Senate-House conference ,
and hope we can wear them down
in favor of the Gore bill." This
measure, by Representative Albert
Gore (D., Tenn.) was passed by
the House by a big vote. It ex.
tends 90 percent price supports an-
other year. 4
Note When Agriculture Secre-
tary Charles Brannan returned to
his office, a Senate friend phoned
that Anderson intended to attack
h in per onally in a Senate speech.
Brannan quickly prepared a reply
blasting Anderson for opposing the
Administration's farm policy. How-
ever. Anderson made no reference
to Brannan
ABORTIVE CAUCUS
Lucas was subjected to sharp
questioning on the farm issue Gir-
ing the Senate Democratic caucus.
His replies were vague. Finally, he
was asked just how the situation
stood between the House and Sen-
ate.
"The House eppears to be very
firm on 90 percent parity." Lucas
replied "I don't know what will
come out of a conference. They are
talking very tough over there."
They say they won't budge."
"House leaders told me that -
they are going to insist on Voe
Russell amendment," said Senator
Lister Hill (D.,-Ala.) The amend- a
merit of Senator Richard Russell ■
(D., Ga.) is for a flat 90 percent •
price support.
"I’m glad to hear that," said
Russell. "My amendment is for the
people and that is the way the
House voted on this issue. The
House isn't playing farm organiza-
tion or any other kind of politics
on this question." a
Neither Anderson nor Lucas re- ,
plied to this thrust. a

nies he is opposing the Administra-
lion’s farm legislation in order to g
further his presidential ambitions.
