Formosa and American Policy
Senator Tait and other republicans who are
making an issue of Formosa are getting out on
the end of a limb. Formosa, only 90 miles from
the Chinese coast, is no island of great strategic
importance in stopping the spread of commun
ism, which is what .seems to be worrying Sen
ators Taft and Knowland and others. The real
battleground in that respect is southeast and
southern Asia and the East Indies and Philip
pines. Our effort in resisting the spread of com
munism there is of much greater importance
than saving Generalissimo Chiang's shadow gov
ernment on Formosa-. The island is merely a
tail to the mainland's kite.
Secretary of State Acheson made clear Amer
ican objectives in the far east in a luncheon
speech Thursday. He said that Russia is now
busy consolidating Manchuria and Outer Mon
golia firmly within the Russian orbit Our real
concern however is with the people of Asia, to
protect their interests and their spirit of in
dependence and self-development.
Senator. Taft said in his Wednesday speech
that if our navy would warn away possible in
vaders of Formosa the communists would not
take the island. But that would mean to invoke
" direct military force. The effect would be sim
ilar to intervention and would be used as pro
paganda all through southeast Asia which is of
far greater importance than Formosa. Our at
tention and efforts should be directed toward
Indo-China, Slam, Burma, India, Indonesia, not
toward shoring up Chiang's remnant of power
on Formosa. "
Reports indicate that affairs on Formosa are
; themselves threatening. Some 300,000 Chinese
have come over from, the mainland, many of
whom are the salvaged parts of the nationalist
armies. The big -question is how they will be
supported when Chiang's gold reserves estimat
ed at around $ 150,000,000 IT. S. run out The
natives have ben openly hostile to the carpet
bagger Chinese who on the heels of Japan's sur
render of the island came over and virtually
footed the island. They are in no mood to de
fend the Chiang regime and communist agents
doubtless will foment this unrest wherever they
can.
As for defense of Formosa if Chiang cannot
with the troops at 'hand and the material and
equipment stored in the island defend its rocky
shores from the invasion of Chinese communists
who have ' neither navy or airforce of conse
quence then his practice has completely disin
tegrated, and nothing America might do would
revive that prestige among the Chinese people.
It looks to The Statesman that the senate re
publicans are using Formosa purely as a politi
cal club for belting Truman over the head. We
bold no brief for Truman, but regard Formosa
as a false issue, and one that: will yield no di
vidends to the republicans who agitate for U.S.
Intervention to save it from the reds. Chiang is
reported to have faith that he will be restored
to power in a third world war. Republicans sur
ely are not going to favor Chiang by going that
far.

Snapbean is green, fat and stringless and was

the case, I want to point out the ,
inconsistency of forcing the pro
gram of reclamation at a time
when the government is pouring
out hundreds of millions to sop
up existing farm surplus crops.
It just doesn't make sense. There
is ' a Dlace for orderly develoD-
ment and we do not want to set
caught with insufficient produc-
tlon of foodstuffs. Definitely that
is not in sight Then why not
slow the pace for reclamation of
lands?
Let me quote from a letter
from mldwesterner who is a
staunch friend of western irriga
tion, but who is concerned over
the pressures for more irriga-.
tion in these times of exceed
ingly high costs and of crop
surpluses. He writes:
"The omens of a growing un
rest and aggravation on this
score are becoming obvious to
even a casual observer. Scarcely
a meeting is held back here in
the midwest and east where ag
ricultural matters are discussed
that there is not someone who
questions the wisdom of further
expanding irrigated agriculture
at a time when we are burdened
with agricultural surpluses. It's
growing and sooner or later
probably sooner It is going
to find expression In congress."
To divert interest due the na
tional treasury on its investment
in power plants is also a sub
terfuge, a scheme to obtain
money without running the
fauntlet Of the congress, which
think is reprehensible.
There Is need for pressing
construction of power plants
such as McNary and Chief Jo
seph danu to insure the north
west an abundance of power.
There is5 no need for pressing
construction of irrigation works
for general agriculture at the
present time. Certainly we do

that, people have not made '

that the service will continue to
get worse until enough people

that Salem people are nice po

necessary complaints because the
language that would have to be
used would not be fit to print.
We have the poorest bus serv

The city council is blameworthy
for allowing the company to

should actively scan routes and

company keeps its nose out of
smaller companies' affairs. It has
no exclusive franchise, and
shouldn't have.
Mr. Wendt cannot blame the

Opposes "Mercy" Death
To the Editor:
I don't like the idea of doctors
murdering their patients the way
that weak-souled Sander did. A
doctor's profession is supposed
to be dedicated to the relief of
human misery by putting the
person back into healthy mental
or physical shape if at all possi
ble. If not humanly possible,
then to do all possible and
ljave the rest to God. Right there
is the sticker, though, too many
3iany people are ready to do a
eed the expedient way without
regard for the rights of God or
man, then the weak and help
less get tromped on.
Aside from the moral angle is
the fact that its bad for the repu
tation of American medicine. To
think that when you should be
come in need of hospitalization
that you are merely taking a trip
to a liquidation plant Isn't this
really the most soothing thought?
By the way, isn't there some
thing in our laws about not de-
riving another of their life,
iberty without due process of
law? I didn't hear of Mrs. Bor
roto's trial. Is it a crime worthy
of death just to be unfortunate
and ill?
Was there possibly an insur
ance policy or inheritance split
motive involved?

germ fighters, no boil would re
main asa localized inflammation,
but would form a spreading
source of Infection.
As it is, pus is formed only
within the defensive barrier.
Finally, the boil either breaks
through the skin to discharge its
contents or is cut open for drain- '
age.
Most people who suffer from
boils seem to have a natural sus
ceptibility to staphylococcus in
fection while otherwise enjoying
good health. Even a normally
high resistance to these germs,
however, may be lowered by lm-
iroper diet overwork, or pro
onged illness. Diabetes and
chronic kidney disease are both
causes of lowered resistance to
such infections. Hence, if a per
son has bolls repeatedly, it is ad
visable for him to have a thor
ough examination to be sure that
there is 1 no general disease re
sponsible. There are also local causes for
boils. For example, boils fre
quently occur on the neck, fore
arm, and armpit due to infec
tion brought on by chafing by
sweat-soaked clothing. The wear
ing of clean clothes, the avoid
ance of chafing or rubbing of the
skin as much as possible, and
keeping the skin dry, are helpful
in preventing the boils.
Doctors will tell you that no
boil should ever be squeezed,
since this may serve only to
break down the encircling de
fense zone built by the white
cellaand spread the infection.
The application of heat either .
with an infra-red lamp or with
hot wet dressings, is helpful. In
jections of penicillin into the
muscles of the hip may be help
ful in eliminating the boils so
that they do not have to be cut
open. However, not all boils will
respond to such treatment X-ray
treatments have also been found
helpfuV in bringing bolls to a
head more, quickly or keeping
them from coming to a head.
The majority of boils do not
have to be cut open, a process
which should be especially avoid
ed, if it all possible, in boils on
the face, nostrils, and upper lip.
When boils elsewhere come to a
head, cutting and draining may
be followed by rapid healing.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
E. A.: What is a perforated ear
drum? Does it affect the hearing?
Answer: Perforated ear drum
means that the ear drum has
been broken. This often results .
from an infection of the middle
ear. It usually affects the hearing,
only until the perforation heals.
