toward agreeing with General
MacArthur during the next few
months as he has in the last
lew weeks, we may see these last
two remaining points cleared up
in favor of MacArthur. Then
will he apologize' and send Mac-
Arthur back to Japan? Well.

does not do things that way.

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-

with MacArthur only recently,
whereas General MacArthur has
not altered his position one iota

Both sides agree that we should
not leave or, be driven out of

etxend the limits of the ‘limited’
war just far enough to insure
victory. The president says we
must 'rock along and
