China's Nationalist
Govt. Is Written Off
(Continued From Page One)
Lt. General Albert C Wedemeyer,
made to President Truman in
1947, is disclosed to have temper
ed its proposal for China aid witn
a big "if. Wedemeyer advocatel
a five-vear aid program but said
Chiang should undertake drastic
reforms and should place Man
churia under United Nation'
trusteeship to keep the Commu
nists from taking over.
lt was this recommendation re
garding Manchuria, Acheson said,
which caused the report to be
suppressed so long. He said the
suggestion lor alienation oi ui
nese territory would have caused
trouble with the national govern
ment i- published at that time.
The fact that the department
feels the report now can be re
leased afford a clue to the publi
cation of the entire white paper.
Mr. Truman and Acheson evi
dently have decided that China'
nationalist government i beyond
the point where it can be hurt
even by bitter criticism.
In addition they appear to be
lieve that the record Justifies
their decision not to undertake
any great new aid program to
the Chinese nationalists and their
determination to break with the
past, release the facts as they
see them, and lay out new line
of anti-communist diplomacy in
the Far East.

There was no provision It-f t, as
in the original bill, to permit the
President to extend aid to any

States security.
Amount Slash Looms
"If the President has yielded
on one major area of controversy,
he can hark up on another," a
top Republican on the House
foreign affair committee told
newsmen, "he will have no
choice. He will have to settle
for a maller amount and a more
limited program."
Republicans and a strong
group of Democrats on the com
mittee, which I considering leg
islation to give life to the pro
gram, said the President's de
cision not to press for the broad
powers originally requested
amounted to an admission that
the entire program can be trim

Garden Requires Plenty Of Water;
Evening Is Least Favorable Period
Gardens cannot grow without
water. When dry weather is ac
companied by high temperatures
careful watering practice may
save you lots of trouble, and
loss.
First, the quantity of water Is
Important. Gardens need at least
one inch of water each week; and
if this does not fall in rain, It
must be applied from a hose.
Do not apply it in dally shallow
doses, but soak the ground six
inches deep at each application.
Next come the time to water.
The best time is early morning.
next dur nir the day when tne
sun is shining and the least fa
vorable time is in the evening.
If necessary to water during the
evening, do not wet the leaves
of the plants, since they will re
main damp all nigm ana mis win
encourage 1 mould and fungi.
Where there is a humid climate,
and home have too much shade,
both encourage plant diseases,
hv keenine leaves damp. Sun
shine is the best preventive, dry
I leaves the next, and the last re
sort is a fungicide.
Lawns should be watered In
the mnrnlne. or while the sun Is
shining, and never sprinkled wllh
a hand nozzle, because the holder
tires before the lawn gets
enouch. There are many Inex-
pensive sprinklers which cperate

Don't Wet Leavos
For veeetable earden lt I es
pecially Important not to wet the
leaves of lettuce, chard, and oth
er leaf crops. It is better to keep
water otr all vegetaoie leaves,
excent when the gun will dry
them quickly. Some method of
flowing water directly on the oll
without washing out miniature
gullies Is required. One oi tne
best is a canvas hose which
leaks, and serves the purpose of
an In itial ion ditch. If possinie get
one the exact length of your gar
den row, so it can be lifted to
another spot when one area has
been thoroughly soaked.
For bushv flowers there are
special tube's and nozzle which
will spread the water near the
root wllbout wetting ine leaves.
Manv prefer to use a piece of
wood on whlrh water Is allowed
to flow directly from the hose,
without a nozzle. This is an ef
fective spreader.
W hile leaves should not be al
lowed to remain damp long, most

bath, on a day when they will
dry quickly. Evergreens need fre

250 Persons At
Old Time Affair
The old fashioned carnival put
on in Gardiner Saturday after
noon and evening by the Lower
Umpqua Progressive entertained
more than 250 people. A great va
riety of games were enjoyed, from
standard baseball, dart, and hoop
throwing to less common camps
of skill, such as pendulum and pin
games, and tnrowing raw eggs at
a human target.
The last mentioned stunt was a
sensation, and thanks to the en
thusiastic but not too skillful
pitching, lt was not too damaging
to the targets, Ray and Laury

Carnival eats, nreslder over bv
Elam Frederickson, costumed
palmists Fannie Carlson and Do
ris Glickman, and sketch artist
Betty Lusk. added an authentic
atmosphere.
Highlights were provided bv the
singing and plaving of the Erick
son sisters of Gardiner, and Chet
Skinner of North Bend.
Judging by the number of
prizes carried away, and the fa
vorable comments of patrons, it
was a successful community nrol-
ect, and present plans call for a
similar entertainment during the
coming fall.

new one.
The task of building a new pol
Icy on the wreckage of the old Is
in the long run one of the most
dangerous ever to face American
statesmen. In .China and Asia
more than half a world is shed
ding the chain of it feudal and
colonial past. Communism is
making a long planned play for
the majority of the human race
at an opportune moment in world
History.
What will be the new American
policy to counter this? The white
paper is vague. Secretary Ache
son says merely that America
must "encourage all develop
ments" in China aimed at throw
ing off the "foreign yoke" of Mos
cow direced communism. That
could mean anything from help
ing refugee Chinese students to
flying bazookas in to the Mos
lems of China's northwest.
So the policy itself remains to
be shaped, by a special board,
and the Job is a tough one for
many reason. Some formula
must be hammered out that will
fit in with U.S. policy elsewhere
and still sit passably well with
the people most concerned
those in Asia.
It has to satisfy their chief cri
ticism of the old policy that we
pay too much attention to Eu
rope. They say Europe ia far better
equipped industrially than Asia,
lives better, is more stable na
tionally, and therefore is less sus
ceptible to the inroads of commu
nism which we say we are out
to stop.
Vital Questions Pos.d
Yet there's the question of
whether Asia could assimilate aid
like that in Europe, and if so,
who could afford it ? Where is the
middle ground where what we
can do will work with Asiatics?
Here in America, internal po
litical differences over China and
Asiatic policy could strongly in
fluence what come out in the
end. The administration seeks to
get other measures through Con
gress too, and compromise may
result.
But Asia herself may try to In
fluence the policy. Any grave cri-1
sis there might well subordinate j
the need for long term planning I
to that of meeting an emergency.
This is possible because the in
strument America seek to use
in her global battle against Rus
sian communism do not always
behave according to American
wishes.
Such an Instrument was Chiang
Kai-shek ot China.
The best and most persistent
Information is that many Asiatic
leaders think World War III is
Inevitable anyway, as do the
communists.
In their eye the question may
be, why wait any longer?
