- But the statement said, the con

1. The peaceful reconstruction of
Korea after the last battle is won.
2. The future of Japan, for which
"preliminary negotiations for a

" 3. MacArthur's views on ways to
"promote and maintain interna

out the Pacific area..
The president said he had found
MacArthur's views "most helpful"
and concluded with this:
"We are fully aware of the dan
gers which lie ahead, but wo are
confident that we can surmount
these dangers with three assets
which we have: -
"First unqualified devotion - to
peace; second, unity with our fel

United Nations;; third, our deter

Under Red Pressure
While he did not mention either
area by name, the conference un
doubtedly turned to the questions
of Indochina and Formosa, both
under Red pressure.
MacArthur Is known, to believe
strongly that both should be de
fended to prevent .the communist
drive in Asia from outflanking the
western defenses of the United
States in the Pacific.

The first meeting of the presi
