N.w,.R.vi.w, ifa..bu, or.-wdoy, April 1:4m i The Danger With Magnifcent Fortitude 3) OA By CHARLES V. STANTON MacArthur Mill believes in attack. His inspired address before the Congress was a fa miliar MacArthur tactic "eiwase the enemy." MacArthur placed before the American people his con cent of a foreien pohcv. lie minced no words. He de fined each step of .h;t policy. Will the administration be equally clear in its rebuttal? Will Acheson iri.e us something- beside vaifue cliches, pussyfooting: and ippeasement? What foreign policy does the administration offef 7 To date we nave naa only wav ering indecision. Perhaps the administration has a foreign policy. If so that policy fhudd be announced in terms and defini tions as clear and concise and understandable as those voiced by MacArthur. The American people's jury will then be able to return its verdict. Until we h.ive the rebuttal a rebuttal stating definite aim". we should reserve judgment. But in our decision we should not be misled by smoke screens, red herrings and camouflage Military Control Exploded We have been told that the controversy between the administration and (Vral MacArthur is predicated on whether this country's policies shall be controlled by civil ian or military authority. MacArthur exploded that argurrent in his address. lie declared, it is true, that the policies laid down by the civilian authority were rt variance with the principles of military strategy. He showed how those policies could endanger our entire Pacific defense. It might hi argued that MacArthur' action is one of insubordination. In fact, his statement that he could not as a military commander commit American and allied lives to a purposeless wnr when ordered to do so by po litical authority is virtual admission of insubordination. But in ojr American form of government there is a higher civilian authority than that of the President of the United States, a higher civilian authority than that of the Congress of the United S'ates. That higher civilian author ity is the people of the United States. MacArthur no lontrer is a military commander. His touching words of farewell from his military career marked him as a citizen placing his conscientious convic tions before the highest civilian- authority of the land. While our present form of government is maintained, the right of final aopenl to the highest authority must remain the prerogative of every citizen, regardless of stature. Warmongering Denied Opponents of MacArthur's policies of direct action have attempted to smear him by describing him as a war monger. In his address he knocked all the props from that propaganda biPboard. , We already are at war with a nation which has com mitted its full military might to the struggle. Are we to conMnutt only a holding action? Are we to continue feeding American lives into a meat grinder when a few well directed bombs would at least damage the machine? Arp e to risk loss of our Pacific defense line and build new fortifications along uir own shores? Are we to allow an avowed enemy to bring war to us on his own terms, rr should we endeavor to put him in a position where he dare not make war? Should we rnnfc? use of all weanons nnd forces available to us? These are only practical, logical questions raised by MacArthur. We are eagerly rwaitinK th rebuttal.

Martin If J , ' - i WASHIGT(Nr Ceneral Douglas MacArthur has long believed there comes a time in the life of every soldier when he must "decide between blind obedience to a su perior and the welfare of his ne.tion. The decree of intensity surround ing such a decision varies with lh tunic of the soldier who must make the rl.oice. For MacArthur. the nation's greatest living soldier. Ihe decision to sneak out in opposi tion to what he oonsidivs the follv ol our foreign policy in Asia was world-shaking and the most mo mcnlous in his lifetime. President Truman stilled whtm he 1 1 red the general that "lull and vigorous debate on matters of na tional policy is a vital element in Ine constitutional svstem of our tree democracy." Vel. Mr. Truman In the middle of the night issued the crass di rectiv relieving MacArthur of com miiid because the general would not be gagged. In doing so the President obliterated the verv ''vi tal element'' of free speech which created ttie democracy he heads and whici alone can save it. ror a decade the Stale depart ment has ignored the wishes of the American people in regard to for eign policy. It arrived at decisions via MKion fed data from left-wing I iherals and Communists, and then tried to force those decisions down the throats of the American public wilh a vast and clever prim aanda machine.

I hope the bureaucrats in Wash ington den't hear about that. They might want to use all our tankers to ship Southern Oregon's water to Southern California or Arizona. 1 If we should get into shooting war on a bigger scale, we'll need our tankers to haul oil in. Speaking of public morals: Spruille Braden, who was once our ambassador to Argentina and has just been named head of New York's new anti-crime committee, said in a speech last night: "The decline in official U. S. morals is losing friends and in piiuencing peole ("abroad) against us It is only to be expected that the loss of integrity and sense of propriety by so many of our : officialdom should cause foreign-1 ers to reverse their previously I held esteem for this nation and their admiration of its moral fiber." The upshot of it all was a fist fight that seems to have been a lulu. Searching question: When people like that get all het up and bloody each other's noses, how are we ever to believe that it's possible to end war?
