U.S. Foreign Policy Invites
Disaster, Reporter Tells
Valley Knife-Fork Group
Charging that this nation is In
viting disaster with its present
foreign policy, John Morley,
war correspondent and traveler,
reported on world conditions for
Rogue Valley Knife and Fork
club at a dinner meeting last
night at Rogue Valley Country
club.
The speaker, who returned to
the United States from Korea
earlier this month, also criticiz
ed the United Nations war strat
egy in Korea and stated that the
morale of United Nations troops
Is very low. He advocated that
"we either adopt an aggressive
policy, or retreat beneath the
38th parallel and dig in."
Must Bomb Base!
"We cannot win a victory In
Korea unless we can bomb the
bases from which their air power
Is coming, Morley declared.
The reporter said General James
Van Fleet told him in July of
1951 that "we have the Reds on
the run and could lick them Jn
60 days if we are let alone;
Morley declared that the peo
ple at home are not being told
the truth about the progress of
the war in Korea and said "not
one new plane has been sent to
Korea since the war started and
none will be sent before fall of
1952." He declared that this na
tion has lost "three to four times
as many planes as the Reds" in
Korea, and said is was due
largely to the fact that our forc
es are forbidden to cross the
Yalu river and bomb the Chin
ese bases.
Cites U.S. Election
The correspondent declared
that the Reds started their
"phony" peace talks alter the
trend of the war was against
them and added, "we are going
to pay the price of peace in an
election year; we'll give the
Reds what they want."
"The Reds will bleed ug white
and then start trouble' some
where else," Morley said later
during the question period. He
added that he did not advocate
"pulling out of Korea," and be
lieved Chiang Kai Shek's army
now held on Formosa should be
used. He criticized the adminis
tration's off and on policy with
Chiang Kai Shek and praised the
Chinese leader, saying he was a
capable general and a good
Christian.
Reviews European History
Sneaking o conditions In
Europe, Morley went back Into
recent history to talk of CzechO'
Slovakia, saying we lost that na
tion to Russia and communism
when the war department and
Ahe administration bowed to
public demand and brought
American troops home, leaving
Czechoslovakia unde fended,
"After World War II we began
to build automobiles, refrigera
tors and toasters," Morley said
"while the Russians continued to
build guns and tanks. You can
not defend a nation with
toasters."
The speaker discussed the sit
uation in the Near East and said
we lost the good will of the
Arabs and Moslems when this
country recognized the new
Israelite government in Pales
tine, He charged that this was
done by President Truman only
because of the strength of the
Jewish vote in this country. He
said that "formerly there were
700,000 Jewish refugees; they
settled in Palestine and displae
ed Arabs, and now there are
700.000 Arab refugees.

nation should expand its FBI
and counter intelligence forces
for internal protection, should
"kick the communists out of our
educational system" and quit
paying athletie coaches three
times as much as professors of
history and economics.
Having earlier said that there
isn't s single important indus
trial plant in this country with
out its spy cell of Russians, Mor
ley climaxed his statements
about communists in this coun
try by saying "men like Whit
taker Chambers should be shot
and not paid a quarter of a mil
lion dollars to tell how he spied
on his own country."
Questions Ensenhow.r
During the question period
Morley was asked if General
Dwight Eisenhower would make
a good president and answered
that "he would by compari
son." Morley then added that he
once questioned the general
about his beliefs and discovered
that Eisenhower was "against
the foreign policy of the Repub
licans and against the domestic
policy of the Democrats." "Act
ually, he is against the platform
of the people who support him,"
Morley" declared. "He is not the
best man," the speaker. I be
lieve that if this country wants
military man for president,
General Douglas MacArthur
would be a better choice.
The speaker was introduced
by Dr. Bert R. Elliott, who had
traveled with Morley in Japan
during the summer of I9a0.
Irrigation District
Workmen Attempt
To Prepare Dam
Grants Pass Grants Pass Irri
gation district workmen are
struggling this week to place Sav-
ge Rapids dam in shape lor tiie
irrigation season, according to
Charles Miller, district manager.
The difficulty they are having
arises from two factors, unusual
lv high water for this time of
year, and obsolete hydraulic
diversion gates at the top of the
dam. Miller said
The gates are tricky to oper
ate, Miller reported, and the

has made it doubly difficult to
get them in place to direct the
water into Irrigation ditches,
Hopes This Week
Miller added, however, that
he hopes water can be placed in
the ditches by the end of the
week. Water users arc now in
need of irrigation water, al
though rainfall last Sunday eas
ed the situation somewhat.
Work on the gates from rafts
upriver from the dam has been
made highly hazardous due to
the fact that the river has been
running about two feet or more
deep over the crest of the dam.
Miller explained that there are
16 such gates, and all are pinned
down at the end of the irrigation
year in the fall.
Pirn Released
Pins have been released from
all but two so far. But last year
only five of them could be raised
by hydraulic action, and six the
year before. The gates were
opened last March 10 so that
