Formosa
Defense
But Not' (or Mainland Islands
;.,By.X. ROBERT SMITH:
: v'; Mail .Tribua CorxWpondtnt t
Washington The theme of
the' attack by . Sen. ' Wayne
;J(lotSe on the resolution asked
.fey- President v Eisenhower : to
' 'tupport use of American forces
'in defense of Formosa and "re
flated 1 territory" was that "Am
. erica; must ' take the ' calculated
'risks "of 'peace ' as well as the
1 calculated risks of war if it ' is
to ' preserve its integrity . as, a
peaceful nation and, its fea'di
; tioij of . never .attacking unless
;attack'ed.t .-. ; - -
i In: opening Senate debate on
the question -after hearing two
days of secret testimony in the
. Morse declared he strongly, fa
vors defending Formosa and the
nearby 'Pescadores islands "100
miles 'from the, China coast,rfor
two j reasons: - . --i
; 1 Tbe U.S. has a right in
. terms of international law to
protect these islands. They had
been held by the Japanese from
1895 (under the treaty of Shim
' ; onoseki r with ; China .'following
tthe Sino-Japanese waTuntil
Word War ILTjapaK Renounced
r title - to -them- under its peace
'treaty with the U.' S. ratified
in 1952, and no other country
" has acquired ;title to Formosa
and the Pescadores, meanwhile.
So an attack' from China would
be an act of international ag
gression by the Reds. Morse' ad
vocates a U.N. trusteeship over
them. :.. 7 , :'S;: -V;,;-'.
' . 2. Formosa is regarded by
the U.S. as one link in its de
- iense line in the . western Paci
fic ; which extends - from': the
Aleutians. to Australia. ... -;
Opposes Pf ens of Islands ' -
, Just as strongly, Morse ; op
poses 'American intervention in
the various close-to-shore islands
now-? occupied by1 Chinese 'Na-
' tionalist troops, notably Quemoy
and the.. Matsu islands that are
within; fie miles of : the ..Oiina
- coast, for these reasons:,, .
: j These ; islands" - nearthe
' mainland have historically '. been;
Chinese'.' territory and ae.'. so
today, though they are still, sub-:'
ject:td conflict between the Na
tionalists ''and' the Communists
who have fought for control of
all China thie past 10 years. The
under ! international -law,
, would , be intervening f in ; the
Chinese . civil war if it support
ed -with American forces -Chiang's
defense; of these islands
- against the Reds.' . :y,;
'; '; No- military - leader has
-..: contended that : Formosa cannot
be defended successfully unless
Quemoy and the ' Matsu islands
: are also in friendly hands.
; ' 3." To include, these islands
within . America's defense per
imeter would enhance the opportunity-
of Chiang - Kai-shek
getting us .involved in a full
scale war with the: Reds,' which
Morse , believes .the .Nationalists
think is "their only hope of sur
; vival -in the long run.". He . said.
the resolution -placed ; 'the . fate
; of the: American people in the
; hands' ot " the Nationalist 3 Chi
; cese; knowing that if they fol
low -a course of action that leads
to war; we are in it with them.'-
. 4. Adm. Arthur. W. Radford,
chairman of the joint chiefs of
staff, would be Willing to launch
an attack against the mainland
to thwart a - buildup of Red
strength which might be used
to' attack these islands yet "he
does 'not guarantee" that' we
would not have to follow up by
landing foot soldiers in China!
"' Morse believes this would 'cer
tainly lead to an all-out war
which America could not afford
morally or militarily to wage,
for '"if "We go into such' a war.
we; are not going to end it in a
hday or in a year, or in" 10 years."
He ' said atomic and hydrogen
bombs would not subjugate the
broad expanse of China, ; but
that .it.;;would require U.S. sol
diers ; to i conquer: ; and occupy
the country, after years of guer
illa warfare.
' 5. - This country must take
the calculated risk of peace that
is consistent with America's his
toric: foreign policy of trying to
promote peace by not attacking
the Reds unless they ; actually
cross" the Formosa strait. to at
tackiFormosa or any ther terri-
try behind .that defense line; . ;.
"Can we .. defend Formosa
without ? , threatening to 1 bomb
any concentration of military
force on : the - mainland:, of
China?," asked ' Morse.' "I have
not heard- any - high American
official, civil or military, - 'say
we could not.' They do say that
we run a greater risk, militarily
speaking, if we follow- that
course of action." -;
' "But that is what I have call
ed the calculated risk of peace,"
Morse declared,' "in contrast
with the calculated risk of war,
which I think is speeded up and
greatly" increased -by the reso
lution in its present ; form.' I
think we had better bold firm
to our historic policy,' to which
there' has been no exception of
which.-1 know,- never to commit
an act - of war. until an act ; of
war has been" first committed
against: us."'i.--'; ',; - ;v c
, '.'I ' think the- implication of
the joint resolution in that we
are going to strike on' thermain
land ;6f China, ' when those in
charge : of - our . -military '.opera
tions have reached the conclu
sion ;-that the -enemy r is: about
to : attack .us. This iamounts, , in
fact to authorizing -by this; reso
lution a. preventive war," Morse
told the Senate.; -l-xst
fl have ; always been opposed
to the preventive-war philoso
phy.;! have always felt that the
talk of a preventive war ;does
not ".promote, peace . and '.. a
preventive : war? means- not a
little, war,', not a , police' action,
but a total war. So I . anf oppos
ed to the resolution in its pres
ent form because to alL .intents
and purposes 1 consider it to
amount to a quasi-legalization
of a preventive - war S.1 and
we cannot " reconcile a ' preven
tive war with America's historic
policy of peace which I have
outlined."- - - .y-
