Defense Treaty
Urged by Dulles
WASHINGTON (AP) Secre-1
tary of State Dulles said Monday 1
that US ratification of a defense
treaty with Nationalist China
might cool off the tough-talking
Chinese Reds.
I
“I doubt that the Chinese Com
munists really intend to wage
war against the United States
unless the United States aban
dons this treaty with all that
abandonment would imply,” he
told the Senate Foreign Rela
tions committee.
... Warlike Maud
Dulles said it was possible that
Senate approval of the treaty
and the already accomplished
adoption of a defend-Formosa
policy "will together create a
situation in which the present
warlike mood of the Chinese |
Communists may subside.”
The secretary made his ap-1
praisals in a statement he car
ried to a closed-door meeting j
of the committee.
It is considering the mutual de- j
fense treaty signed by the Unit
ed States and Nationalist China
Dec. 2 under which the United
States pledged its aid “in accord
ance with its constitutional pro
cedures” if Communist forces
should attack Formosa or the j
Pescadores Islands.
Doubts They Want War
Dulles, in saying he doubted
the Chinese Reds want war with
the United States added:
‘T do not doubt that the Chi
nese Communists are probing our
l-esolution. They no doubt hope
that we want peace so ardently i
that we will retreat in the face ■
of their threats.
“It is true that we want peace.
and that we do want it ardent
ly. However, we do not want it
at the price of our security or
of our honor," he said.
“Indeed experience show’s that
those who try in that* way to i
buy peace in fact only increase j
the ultimate danger of war. They j
encourage the aggressors to i
make ever-mounting demands, so
that in the end there is no al- j
tentative but to fight.”
Xo Bargaining
Dulles emphasized that the
treaty would not open the way
for any bargaining away of off
shore islands now held by the
Nationalists in return for some
guarantee that the Reds would
not attack Formosa.
The treaty would provide firm
reassurance to the Republic of
China and to the world that
Taiwan Formosa and the Pesca
dores are not a subject for world
barter as part of some Far- East
ern ‘deal’ with the Chinese Com
munists," he declared.
Morse Says ...
Sen. Morse (Ind-Ore) said that
on the basis of Dulles’ testi
mony in the closed meeting “I
shall vote against the treaty.”
Morse was one of three senators
who voted against the resolu
tion to defend Formosa and other
islands. „
“This treaty further increases
the possibility of war in the Pa
cific,” the Oregon senator de
clared. “I don't think it is in the
interest of the United States to
enter into a treaty with the
Chiang Kai-Shek dictatorship.
“In effect, it places us in a
position where we may have to
sacrifice American boys to keep
Chiang in power. He isn't worth
it.”

Egypt to Pull Out
Of Security Pact
CAIRO, Egypt. (APj—A gov
ernment spokesman said Monday
that Egypt, defeated in a bitter
fight to enforce Arab neutrality
in Middle Eastern defeuae maneu
verings, will pull out of the Arab
League security pact the day Iraq
and Turkey sign their mutual
aid treaty.
Maj. Salah Salem, national
guiding minister, told visiting
Lebonese newsmen that immedi
ately on withdrawing from this
alignment Egypt would sign a
new military treaty with other
Arab states.
He emphasized that the new
treaty would bind all parties not
to enter foreign alliances with j
other countries, including Turkey.
There was no indication what
commitments if any Cairo has re- i
ceived from other Arab govern
ments for a new alignment, which
apparently would exclude Iraq.
Iraq To Sign Treaty
When members of the eight-na
tion Arab League ended a 16-day
conference here Sunday night
without persuading Iraq to call;
off her projected alliance with
Turkey, some of the others seem
ed inclined to join up with
Turkey.
Since Turkey is a NATO mem
ber, Arabs allying themselves
with that country would indirect
ly be forming ties with the west.
Their apparent willingness to
make such commitments is at
tributed to growing fears among
them of possible Soviet aggres
sion in the Middle East.
Meeting Ends In Failure
Salem, referring to the incon
clusive Cairo meeting, said:
“We failed to learn the view
points of the other Arab states.
We did not learn whether the
other states were backing Iraq
or Egypt and that is why we
failed to announce any statement
after the conference.’’
Salem had said Sunday night
that the delegates failed either to
end their conference by formal

vote or to postpone further meet- ]
ings. They simply “all walked
out without saying goodby to
each other,” he said.
Egyptian newspapers jibed at
the Arab conference for not tak
ing any decisive action. Egyptian
officials admitted privately that |
the meeting was a defeat for
Egypt and a hard blow at Cairo's
leadership in the league.

Why it's wise to
hold U.S. Savings
more than 10 years
III I I
is
By Homer J. Livingston, President of
The first National Bank of Chicago and
President, American Bankers Association
i
Like millions of other
Americans, you probably
know that our government’s
Series E Savings Bonds rank
among the surest, safest and
best investments in the world.
But I wonder if you realize
that an extremely attractive
feature ha3 been added.
You can now hold them for as long as
19 years, 8 months and U. S. Series E
Savings Bonds will return you a total
yield of 80% on your investment!
So, if you can possibly arrange it, hold
your Bonds for the maximum period
19 years, 8 months.
And, of course, go on investing in U. S.
Series E Savings Bonds regularly.
If you invested $37.50 in a Savings Bond
ten years ago, it could he redeemed for
$50.00 today. You would make $12.50.
But if you keep that Bond for ten more
years, you will make a total of $29.84
on your original investment. In other
words, if you hold your Bonds for double
their original period, your total yield is
considerably more than just double.
There’s no finer investment an Amer
ican can make.
// you want your interest as current in
cornr, ask your banker about 3% Series
II llonds which pay interest semiannu
ally by Treasury check.
Now even better!
Invest more in Savings Bonds!
