MEANS OF ELIMINATION
Removal of top ranking republicans from the domestic
political scene by "kicking them upstairs" is a favorite tactic
of our democratic national administration. Latest exemplifi
cation of this came, of course, in the decision to send General
Dwight D. Eisenhower across the Atlantic tO organize and
command a western European army. No question of his be
ing the man for the job but there is no question, either, in the
minds of a substantial number of millions of Americans as
to his being the man for the job of president of the United
States. Although the assignment to overseas duty is techni
cally no bar to acceptance of a nomination, it is a terrific ob
stacle to success in national convention or in general election.
The president will breathe more easily between now and No
vember, 1952.
More startling, however, than the return of General Eis
enhower to army service is the disclosure that Governor
Thomas E. Dewey was offered the highest diplomatic award,
that of ambassador to the court of St. James, in the year fol-
lowing his second unsuccessful campaign for the presidency.
Regardless of that defeat, the efficiency of his New York or
ganization still had the democrats bewildered, They needed
, help and Mr. Truman sought to give it by enticing the gov
ernor out of the country. That one failed to work and, while
Governor Dewey would unquestionably have done a superla
tive job as ambassador, the need for him on this side of the
ocean has, we think, been greater than in Europe.
Now that this has been made known we are wondering
what the administration is planning by way of eliminative
promotion for some of the other republicans who, directly or
indirectly, might be a threat in 1952. Shouldn't there be
something on tap presently for Senator Taft or Governor
Warren ? Or has the attempt already been made ?
THE CHOICE NARROWS
Red Chinese visitors at United Nations sessions have at
last spoken their piece and departed for their home land.
What they had to say took a long time and a lot of words ;
what it meant was an order, brief and unmistakable. It was
directed to those of the United Nations engaging in military
operations in Korea and it bade them get out of Asia. At the
same time that the order was being given, other Chinese reds
were engaged in putting non-communist members of the UN
out of Asia.
Chiefly that meant that they were putting United States
forces out of Korea. Formosa would receive attention later
and the French in Indo'-China likewise.
Oddly enough the most dependable of our western allies,
England, has the same idea as the commies, although for far
different reasons. The Chinese do 'not want us in Asia. It is
partly the fear that we may in some way cramp their style;
it is, perhaps, a reawakening of the hatred of the unknown
which animated the Celestials in the attacks on the "foreign
devils" at the time of the Boxer rebellion. Either way we are
not wanted by the red Chinese. , , .
The English do want us in' Eurbpe: They want us to provide
the defense against a possible Russian westward movement.
They know that our present military resources will make it
impossible for us to be present simultaneously on. opposite
sides of the globe with any degree of effectiveness. That is
why Prime minister Attlee, on his recent visit to Washington,
although stressing his country's, loyal friendship to 'our own,
made it rather plain that his government would be happier
far if our forces should get out of Asia.
Between pleasing our friends and gratifying our enemies
there may be little choice.
We suppose Elizabeth Allen would write it today this way :
Backward, flow backward, O prices of cars
We are so weary of Truman and Mars
Toil drawing higher pay, protests in vain
Give us our December first prices again. !-

WASHINGTON COLUMN
By Peter Edwin
Washington (NEA) The at
mospherc in Washington could
not possibly be worse for find
ing a sensible solution to the
Korean crisis.
From the outside, it appeared
that President Truman and
Prime Minister Attlee of Great
Britain were in agreement on
main principles. They were cov
ering not only the military col
lapse in Korea. They were also
trying to solve a broad hinge of
political and economic questions
that related to the two countries,
and to the whole of Europe as
well. Matters which the two
heads of state could not resolve
themselves were being given to
teams of experts for advice, with
every assurance of ultimate so
lution.
By contrast, the scene in. the
United States Senate was any
thing but assuring. The Senate is
supposed to be the calm, deliber
ative branch of the U, S. Con
gress. Yet Its members revealed
a bad case of jitters that amount
ed almost to panic.
1. Republican Sen. James P.
Kem of Missouri Introduced a
resolution on behalf of 20 Repub
lican senators, requesting the
President to make no commit
ments that could not be review
ed by the Senate in treaty form.
Senator Kem said he wanted to
prevent a second Yalta. or Pots
dam.
What this overlooks, however,
is the fact that Soviet Russia
or its Premier atalin are not
parties to the Truman-Attlee
talks. This is supposed to be an
agreement between American
and British allies for their own
safety and well-being.
i. ben irvtng M. Ives, always
In the past one of the calmest
and sanest of the Republican sen
ators, gave in to public clamor
and announced he would intro
duce a resolution demanding the
resignation of secretary of state
Dean Acheson.
a e
Coming right at a timer when
Acheson was in the middle of
the American-British negotia
tions, this could hardly inspire
any British confidence in the U.S.
position. Prime Minister Attlee
himself had publicly expressed
his governments confidence in
Acheson. but that of course had
no bearing on the Senate.
A. Republican ben. Joseph R.
McCarthy of Wisconsin .made a
speech in the Senate in which
he called for the resignation as
Secretary of Defense of Gen.
George C. Marshall. McCarthy's
reason was because of General
Marshall's "advanced age."
General Marshall is 70.
So, it might be pointed, out, is
Gen. Douglas MacArthur;
Demands for the resignation1 of
General MacArthur voiced "by
Sen. Harley M. Kilgore of West
Virginia, and other Democrats in
Washington, throughout t h its
country and in turope are
every bit as deplorable as this
latest attack on General Mar
shall. When generals are fight
ing witn their backs to the wall
with everything they have, a stab
in the back is no help.
... e a a
It is noteworthy, too, that
there was no clear voice in either
party of the Senate outlining a
course that made complete sense.
Sen. Arthur Vandenberg of Mich
igan used to exercise that leader
ship. So far, no one has taken
his place.
When the people are confused
and frightened, calm leadership
and clear, thinking alone can
quiet them. The frantic demands
of a Sen. Owen Brewster of
Maine, urging that the atomic
bomb be dropped anywhere
only increases the chances of
precipitating World War III.

IIAKDBOARJ) FROM WASTE
(Oregon Statesman)
Steady progress Is being made
in t h c utilization of sawmill
waste. At Lebanon the Cascade
Plywood corporation will con
struct o new hardboard plant at
a cost of $1,000,000. Hardboard
is a new product made by the
compression of sawdust or fibre.
Cascades will employ a new pro
cess which requires no water in
the pressing. Boards vary In size
from 132 in. to two inches. Hard
boa id may be turned out in differ
ent sizes and used as lumber or
plywood. The Lebanon plunt will
use raw materials from waste of
its own mills and nearby saw
mills thus stepping up the realiza
tion from logs.
