TIME TO GET TOUGH
y CHARLES V. STANTON
James Mnrlow, ynJicate columnist, asked a question
in one of his wont columns.
"If the whole fluming debate over General MacArtnur
could be reduc-d to one. all-important question, aaid

HI-" ...
It is a Kood qre.-tion. It is a question
should ponder carefull". .
In weighing the question, one must take into consid
eration manv side issue', the apparent trend of State
department thinkin?. he military advantages and disad
vantages, prospects for help, and the possible direction of
enemy strategy. , , , ,. , ,
In the firs, piw we should realize we already are
in World War III. It has not yet developed into a big
war, but it is n var involving many nations. It resem
bles the feelins;-o"t tactics of two boxers, starting a 15
round bout, who spnr carefully in the first few rounds as
they probe for wakresses.
No decision ever would be readied if the two boxers
continued to spar lightly throughout the full 15-rounds.
Some of our rtllies are content to go on fighting a
holding operation In Korea, hoping the war will not spread.
It is barely possible fighting can be contained in that
small arena for a co iiderable length of time. We can
continue sacrificing men with no hope of obtaining a de
cisive victory.
Russia Enjoys Advantage
We may ant'eipnte. if we try to contain the war in
Korea, that Russia will be prodding other sore points, just
s she is using Iran and Czechosolvakia as threats against
peace. If we permit Russia to call the plays, we will be
bouncing around like a tennis player.
So long as wn continue to be fraidy-cats, admitting
our fears, placating, pleading and pussyfooting, Russia
will enjoy her bullying role. How far will Russia go if
romeone calls her bluff? Does Russia want full-scale
war? Is Russia prepared to fight on our terms instead
of her own?
So far we have M Russia push us around. Maybe
and just maybe we roiild turn the war of nerves on Rus
sia if we were to be a little tougher. We don't know
because our timid policy makers have been afraid to try.
Expanding The War
We are already In the preliminaries of World War III
If that war must l expanded, where ahould it be fought?
Our State department neem. to think Kurope is the
jrreat danger apot ftp', nhould be protected at the expense
of Asia.
If we are forced Into a fiwht In Europe, It will be a
fight between grouid ermiea. Russia will have a tremend
ous advantage in manpower. T,y capturing and utilizing
factories and slave l:ib"r, Russia can improve her produc
tion of military sui pliei while we spend many long months
in strategic bombing. The land area she would seize
would be advantageous.
If, on the o'er herd, the Asiatic war were to be ex
panded, Europe pro'iiibW would be safe while Russia pro
tected her soft underbelly along the China frontier. While
huge ground armies would be available, through combin
ation of Russian ind Chinese armies, we could carry on
an air war from islad bases out of the reach of land
armies. H would be a b ug war of attrition, but it would
be a war based on productive rapacity in which we would
have the advantage, rethr-r than on manpower, at which
we would be at a rihadantage. Asiatic la ml areas would
be a liability to R issia rather than an asset.
Forceful Policy Needed
We speak only of obvious factors. Many more com
plicated and less evident issues require consideration.
Policies coiii'Cnin international affairs no longer
can be made by the I'nited States alone. We have sur
rendered our aii'hnrty to the I'nited Nations. The I'nited
Nations is feclin? its way. It is timid, which, in part,
accounts for som of o"r timidity.
