U.S.White Paper On China

Jive Harris Ellsworth (R-Ore)

Representatives in an address

As a member of Congress from

Jt was the only part of the con
tinental United States to be un

World War II. Thus, said the con
gressman, Americans living on
the Pacific coast are Intensely
concerned with the results of any
policy in the Pacific and Far

white paper a frank and full dis
cussion of the Chinese situation.
Mr. Ellsworth told members of
the House of Representatives
that he was shocked to discover
it was only an attempt to white
wash the "long list of terrible
failures and blunders by which
we have been presented with ca
tastrophic failure In Asia."
Not only does the while paper
fail to explain the past mysteries
of our policy in China, said Mr.
Ellsworth, but it also fails to out
line any future policy other than
a futile "wait and see." This at
titude, he feels, will mean "wail"
while the Communists take over
the rest of China, and "see" the
Kremlin rule China as it does
other Communist dominated
countries.
Far from an encouragement to
the Nationalist Government In
China, the representative from
Oregon sees Secretary Acheson's
letter of transmittal prefacing the
white paper a "criticism of the
legal Chinese government In the
most vigorous and unrestrained
manner. 1 know of no such as
sault against a free government
and an ally in all our history."
Citing the record of American
policy in China, Mr. Ellsworth
points out that rather than hav
ing strengthened the Nationalist
government in the past the Unl
ed Sates in many actions and
statements showed China its
place in our esteem was inferior
to that of the Soviet union. How
asks Representative Ellsworth,
can President Truman and the
: tate department justify forsak
ing the Nationalist government
in China (faulty though it wasl
or anv form of free government,
for that matter, when the only
alternative is Communism under
Russian control?
Paper Doesn't Explain
Almost In one breath, says Mr.
Ellsworth, the United States wis
giving Manchuria to the Russians
and urging a blending of the Na
tionalists and Communists in Chi
na, yet we were, and are, doing
everything in our power to check
the spread of Communism In Eu
rope. The mystery of this two
headed policy, a monster of the
Truman administration, the con
gressman feels, is not explained
by the white paper. Mr. Ells
worth believes that among the
prominent officials In the Stale
department were many individ
uals who would bear Investiga

1 1 Hawaiian Strike

Assurance Given
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23
.P There is no danger that the
Hawaii longshore strike will
spread to west coast ports.
This assurance was made Mon
day in a joint union-management
news letter distributed to 1,000
shippers.
The news letter was accom
panied bv a memorandum, sign-
I shori-men's and Warehousemen's
union and the Pacific Maritime
association. The memorandum
said the statement in the news
letter "represents what In our
honest opinion now is n virtual
guarantee against spread of the
Hawaiian strike to the Pacific
coast."
"In the past several days."
said the news letter, "there has
been specula! ion concerning a
possible tie-up of West coast
shipping arising out of planned
efforts by the Matson Naviga
tion company to load Hawaiian
bound cargoes at San Francises
for Honolulu. . . .
"San Francisco longshoremen
were requested on last Thursday
to commence loading cargoes for
this vessel (SS Hawaiian re
finer) and refused to cross pick
et lines of Honolulu members of
their union.
"This refusal was Immediately
processed by the union and the
Pacific Maritime association un
der the coast longshore dispute
machinery. ... It was agreed
. . . that the question of refusal
to handle the cargoes would be
negotiated.
"Because of this agreement.

An Intelligent plan for the fu

toric, is the desire of the Am- dock tieun
erican people, said Renresenta
tive Ellsworth in his closing re
marks. "Nationalist China now
has collapsed. That grim fact
does not mean that we dare turn
our backs on the Far East and
blindly agree to the wait-and-see
policy enunciated by Secretary
Acheson. There must be some
plan for salvaging freedom in
Asia. Otherwise we shall inevit
ably find our continent surround
ed by the cold steel of the red
army."
The union's position . . .has
been that even if the union were
held in violation of the contract
for refusal to work this ship, no
coast tie-up would result, and
the men would slay on the Job
pending negotiations of the ques
tion." Decision to negotiate the dis
pute was the first step in the
grievance procedure provided in
the coast contract.

The Individual income of the av
erage American reached a new
high of $1,410 last year as com
pared with $1,319 in 1947.
A report issued by the Com
merce department this week-end
covered individual Income as dis
tinguished by the take of cor
porationsfrom all sources.
The dollar total of $206,000,
000,000 it showed for 148 bet
tered 1947 by nine percent, but
a gain in population trimmed the
individual average back to seven
percent.
The largest regional gain was
12 percent credited to eight cen
tral states, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
Ohio and Wisconsin.
The smallest Increases, six per
cent, were in the six New Eng
land states, Connecticut, Maine,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island and Vermont; and
four far western states, Cali
fornia, Nevada, Oregon and
Washington.
The only two declines reported
were four percent in North Da
kota and one percent In Kansas.
From a per capita or average
standpoint, New York led the
country with $1,891 in 1948 while
Mississippi was at the bottom
with $7a8.
Rent Control Fund
Is Still Debated
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. (.
The argument about rent control
boiled up again for the Senate
today.
The specific question Is wheth
er to reconsider a $17,500,000 ap
propriation which the rent direc
tor, Tighe Woods, says is not
enough to keep rent controls go
ing at the present rate.
(Woods has said that If Con
gress doesn't increase funds for
his agency, he will have to lift
controls from one-third of the ar
eas still having them. Further, he
says he may have to rely on
volunteer citizen help to watch
over controls in some of the two
thirds remaining.)
President Truman asked $26.
750.000 to operate the office of
Housing Expediter during the
vear that began Julv 1. The Sen
ate cut this down to $21,667,500
but a Senate-House conference
whacked off another $4,167,500 to
$17,500,000.
Senator Douglas (Dill), with
the support of President Tru
man and others who favor rent
controls, contend this amounts to
making it impossible to enforce
the rent ceilings and so. In ef
fect, partially nullifying the law.
He has a motion pending to re
consider previous Senate appro
val of the conference report. Vig
orous debate, of undetermined
length, was in store before a
vote.
Senator Cain (R-Washl, Brick
er (R-Ohlo), Wherry (R-Neb) and
others are on the opposite side.
They contend that the $17,500,
000 should be ample.

Price Support
Limits Demanded
By Demo Leader
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. (IP)
Senate Democratic Leader Lucas
Monday demanded "drastic
changes" in the government's
price-support programs and bills
pending before Congress.
The Illinois senator said he fav
ors limiting government price
supporting loans and purchases
to a few basic or major crops
such as corn, wheat, cotton and
others on which planting and
marketing controls can be op
erated. He said Secretary of Agricul
ture Rrannan should have broad
authority to support prices of all
other "non-basic commodities"
such as meats, dairy products,
fruits and less important crops
with broad standards set by con
gress. Unless congress cuts back the
present farm-price support pro
grams to a few basic crops, Lucas
told reporters:
"People will be so bitter that
we'll break the whole federal
farm program down."
The Senate leader's blast came
after a meeting of the Senate
Agriculture committee of which
he Is a member.
At this hearing Secretary Bran
nan gave qualified support to
a compromise plan by Senator
Anderson (D.-N. M.)
Brannan told the committee
the Anderson plan would provide
somewhat higher government
price support levels than a flexi
ble price plan voted by congress
last year. Actual operations of
that program are not due to be
gin until Jan. 1. ,
