reading the Atlantic pact, but he
s till thinks it’s smart to keep moth­
balls in his uniform and not swear
off canned eggs for life at this
point.
“I f the world was in Its right

Acheson revealed that nine-

furnished by the United States
has been surrendered to the
Communists in the past eight
months. Today the Communists
have the m ilita ry power to
march wherever they please in
China—including south China
where the Nationalists are still
holding out, Acheson reported.
Meanwhile, the Nationalists are
negotiating frantically for a coali­
tion government. Whether the Uni­

new government, Acheson said, w ill
depend on the Communists' atti
tude.
The secretary of state was called
before the foreign relations com
mittee to answer a petition, signed
by 50 senators, demanding aid for
the Nationalists. Significantly, the
petition was sponsored by Sen. Pat

Senate G.O.P. leader, Arthur
Vandenberg, backed colleague Owen
Brewster of Maine in a corner,
glanced furtively for eavesdroppers
and whispered:
"Y ou’d better lay off that ECA
fund to the Dutch that you’ ve been
raising such a fuss about. I just
learned there’s a lobbyist mixed up
in this.”
Vandenberg probably referred to
young Randolph Feltus, a regis­
tered lobbyist on capitol hill, who
has been fighting ECA aid to the
Netherlands on the ground that the
money w ill be used to finance Dutch
armed imperialism in Indonesia.
“ Listen, A rth u r," grinned Brew­
ster, "have you ever heard of legis-
lation on any subject in congress, of
m ajor or minor importance, that
doesn’t have a lobbyist for or
against it? ”
Note: Feltus and many others
have been talking to senators on
the ground that a breakdown of the
U.N. regarding Indonesia means a
serious undermining of the peace
