Both sides now agree that Com By Harris Ellsworth, M. C. munist China should not be seat ed in the United Nations. How Now that the sound and fury of ever. last fall it was freely ru the discussion of Korean war poi-1 mored that we were about to icy is slowing down, let’s take a calm look at the controversy as it appears on the record. Gen eral MacArthur has clearly and completely stated the facts as he knows them and has given his opinions. He has done a great and patriotic service. President A r u m a n and administration spokesmen have been heard. On the record as of today, there is not really a wide diff erence between the recommenda tions made by MacArthur and the present attitudes of the admini stration. In my opinion, the sig nificant thing to note is that the Truman-Acheson Marshall p o li- cies have moved into coincidence with MacArthur only recently, whereas General MacArthur has not altered his position one iota right straight through since 19^ what a pity that there wJk not this great area of agreement with MacArthur months, if rtat years, sooner. « Both sides now agree that For mosa must be kept from Coff- munist control. But as late as Dec. 30, 1949, President Truman and the National Security council issued a statement which said: ‘’^o military action in defense of Formosa or Hainan is to be ejected. Formosa is not stra tegically important enough . . ” WHI« W eek recognize the Chinese Commun ist government and permit its seating in the UN. On Sept. 19, 1950, the Wall Street Journal said 'Secretary of StaSe Ache son secretly has decided to rec- ognize R'd China, and let the Red Chinese into the United Na tions.” Both sides now agree on a much tighter blockade of China nothing much was either said or done about this before Mac- Arthur was fired a n d public opinion became aroused against our s o ft attitude tow aid Red China. Both sides agree that we should not leave or, be driven out of Korea. MacArthur says we should etxend the limits of the ‘limited’ war just far enough to insure victory. The president says we must 'rock along and happens” (keep right on build Jng up the casualty list). General MacArthur says we should use the Chinese troops sitting idly in Formosa. The pres ident and Acheson say ‘no.’ But lot’s check administration reas oning on this point. As late as August 30. 1950. Secretary Ache son told a senate committee: "It would be a mistake for the Unit ed States to take action on For mosa which might give the im-,1 pression to the Chinese Commun-i ists that aggression was threat ened against them. Any such ac i tion might give the Chinese Com-1 munists excuse to join in the!
