without Russia If necessary on
the completion of a Japanese
treaty. It expressed hope, how
ever, that Russia would cooper

TJ. N. representative, Jacob Malik,
the fighting around Chosin reser
In New York this afternoon ana
. the text was released here by the
atate department It was an an
swer to half a dozen questions
raised by Russia regarding pro
posals, for a Japanese treaty which
American Representative John
Foster Dulles had discussed with
'representatives of more than a
dozen nations at U. N. headquart
' era during the fall.
- The new statement of the
American twjition or tne Japanese
treaty covered these main points
In response to Russian questions:
1. While wartime bit power
s agreements specified that Formosa
and certain other territories
should be returned to China after
the war, the U. S. considers that
such dispositions of territory are
subject "to any final peace settle
ment' and also must be consider
ed in the light of the U. N. charter,
the obligations of which prevail
ver any other International
agreement.'
This appeared to be a diplomatic
wayrof telling Russia that the U.
' S. does not consider itself bound
to hand Formosa over to the Chi-
'nese communists whose armies
are fighting U. N. forces in KoreaL
t. The U. S. does not consider
Its proposals for a U. S. controlled
U. N. trusteeship over the Ryukyu
and Bonin Islands to be "territorial
expansion" as the Russians had
suggested, since the trusteeship
system is not the same thing as
territorial' expansion.
J The U. 8. believes It is rea
sonable for. Japan, upon conclu-
' sion of a peace treaty, to make
, arrangements for self - defense
i which could "include provision
for the stationing in Japan of
" troops of the U. S. and other na
tions." The need for such arrange-
ments. the note declared, stems
from the fact "that irresponsible
; militarism has not been driven
' from the world." . .
.4 The U. 8. believes the peace
treaty should not limit Japan's
. peace me economy "nor deny
: Japan access to source of raw
' material or participation in world
' trade.

Chief Joseph's Military Genius
Mostly Legend, Historian Says
SPOKANE, Dec. 28-W-A college history professor said today
Chief Joseph, famous Nez Perce Indian leader, wasn't the military
genius most people think he was.
Dr. Francis Haines, a .professor at Northern Idaho College of Ed
ucation, told delegates to the Northwest Sciemte Association confer
ence that facts just don't support the claims made for Chief Joseph.
The skillful retreat of the Nez
Perce warriors through Idaho into
Montana in the Indian wars of
1877 has become a near legend.
Its planning and execution has
been attributed largely to Chief
Joseph.
But Dr. Haines said the facts
point elsewhere. He thinks
successes of the Nez Perce tribe
against the government soldiers
was due to the hardiness of the
Indians themselves.
The strategy and tactics of the
Nez Perces were like those of oth
er Indian tribes," Dr. Haines said.
and Joseph was responsible for
almost none of them.
Newspaper accounts carrying
reports from "mediocre army
field commanders who were get
ting the worst of battles through
their own blunders played a big
part in building Joseph's reputa
tion. he said. And Dr. Haines said
he feels the Nez Perce Indian war
was publicized far out of propor
tion to its size.
The success of the Indians was
due to these factors, he told the
scientists:
1. The Nez Perce warrior was
hardy, active, intelligent and co
operative. He was a good horse
man and had plenty of good hor
ses. He was good rule shot and
a tenacious fighter.
2. Nez Perce families were ac
customed to long marches and
skilled at making and breaking
camp quickly.
3. Several Nez Perce leaders
among them Poker Joe, Five
Wounds and Rainbow - - were ca
pable of developing good military
strategy.
4. Leadership by army officers
was, for the most part, mediocre.
And, to Dr. Haines," the out
standing feature of the war was
the great mobility of the Indians.
Each warrior moved his family.
cattle and horses individually.
Each was a self-sufficient unit
Credit for some maneuvers and
skirmishes should have gone to
Rainbow, Five Wounds and Too
hulhulsuit Dr. Haines said. He
added that part of his information
came from Yellow Wolf, a friend
and relative of Chief Joseph.
'A study of the records indl
cates that Chief Joseph was 1
great man, a great leader of 1
great people, and worthy of our
e, admiration, the professor
Mid.
"But the legend of his military
genius is not supported by a single
historic fact subject to proof.
Chief Joseph is buried at Nes
