MAIL TRIBUNE
Doesn't Look Like War
In spite of all the tough talk, our prediction is
there will be no "shooting war" over Formosa -not
for the present at least.1
The reason? - : .
Neither side really WANTS war. vBoth wish to
prevent 'it. .
M
ORE than that.
The immediate issue appears to be the peaceful
evacuation of the Tachens by the Nationalists protect
ed by the 7th U. S. Fleet.
There will be no trouble in this performance un
less the Reds, should try to interfere. Why should
they? The. more islands Chiang evacuates, the more
bases they will have, and the less likely the National
ists will try to regain the mainland.
-
TF the Reds on the other hand should try to occupy
Quemoy or the Matsus then the entire picture would
change.
For President Eisenhower and Secretary Dulles
have apparently changed their original stand, that
these outposts were "marginal" and would not be de
fended. Now, as we understood it they will be or the
President if he thinks such action threatens Formosa,
can do so.
DUT our hunch is there will be no attack by the
Reds not in the near future at least.
And if there isn't, and there is noninterference
with the Nationalists evacuation, there will be no war,
because there will be nothing to go to war about.
,
"THIS is all guess-work of course.
But that is about all one can do with the condi
tions what they are,: as of today.
As for the future, only time and the Good Lord
can tell ! R.W.R. , .. - . "
Another "Irrepressible Conflict
Soviet Russia will agree to a "cease-fire" in the
China Sea if the United States will remove the Tth fleet
and Chiang Kai-shek will get out of Formosa.
No doubt Chiang would also agree if the Red
Chinese would allow him to return and resume his
control of the Chinese mainland! What a farce!
Proposals like these merely emphasize again1 the
unlikelihood of any sort of
chief . contenders m the Far East 4 hot war 7 are con
cerned.' f.v V: , .''"v- 'yvv'';-H;;V V.': '.
CO VIET Russia's support of the Red Chinese should
P. 'have caused no surprise. , :".
And as far as that goes, Mao's proposal has more
sense to it than Chiang's hypothetical one.
THERE should be no. shock , or surprise in all this.

ahg to stop trying to regain control of China, with
U.S. aid, as long as there is any chance of such aid.
For to stop TRYING would end him and everything
else. " ' " "."
.. . .
CO once more we have the "irrepressible conflict."
Only this time it is to hoped enough wisdom and
self interest will be generated in the outside world via
the UN to prevent it. R.W.R.
Both Parties Support Ike
' If. is interesting to ndte that. Senator George of
Georgia,. veteran Democrat,' led the fight for passage
of President Eisenhower's request for the exercise
of his constitutional powers as C6mmander4ri-chief,
in the present Far East crisis, v- ' . -
It is also worthy of note that while the Democrats
had the votes to defeat the proposal, on a purely par
tisan basis, they not only did not make the effort but
voted practically 100 in favor of the actionu
IF we recall correctly, it was declared in certain
quarters not long ago, that the claim of Democratic
support for the President particularly in his foreign
policy was a lot of hooey. . Once give the opposition
control it was said and away they would go to the
dismay-of the righteous and the injury of the country.
"1X7ELL here is concrete evidence that the claim of
" such bi-partisan support was entirely justified.
And our prediction is the same thing will happen
again if and when the national interest clearly calls
for a non-partisan or a bi-partisan -approach.
. . - '
IT would be foolish to claim the two parties are going
to agree on all important issues in the foreign
field or elsewhere. ,
As time goes on there will be plenty of opposition
no doubt.
In fact there should be. For this is a government
of two major parties divided on a number of vital is
sues, and through the conflict between them and the
clarification resulting errors may -be best avoided,
on one hand; and the best course charted, from the
standpoint of the public welfare and ALL the people
on the other. , I
' But when things come down to where a national
crisis arises, what has been generally, true in the past
is plainly true today, the members of both major and
minority parties, are as Jefferson remarked many
years ago, loyal citizens of their country FIRST and
only party members THEREAFTER. R.W.R.

Matter of Fact
TOO' BAD, TOO BAD ' ,
itangoon, surma h or any
citizen of the free world with a
spark of human political sym-
there is some
thing wonder
fully moving
and pleasing
about a visit
to this small,
d "e t e rmined,
hopeful coun
try. .
The enchant
ment is not on
the surface of
life, to be sure.
Joseph Alsop
Rangoon has
not a trace of its old cleani stuffy
prettiness, which this reporter
remembers from the time when
he was here with. Gen. Chen
nault, in the bad old days be
fore Pearl Harbor. The city is
still war scarred, and street
sweeping does not stir the same
enthusiasm in Free Burma as
in the former British Raj.
What is enchanting, rather, is
the spirit. It is the gleam of
grim pride in the eye of the
tough young Burmese colonel
reciting statistics- to show that
the Communists and other in
surgents are now on the run. It
is the ; simple pleasure of the
man at the airline counter, ex
plaining . how Burma has built
up her own ' efficient national
airline. I
It is the intelligent,; enthusi
asm of the able young official
(in the Burmese government you
are . venerable at 40 who ex
plains the government's bril
liantly original, yet simple, prac
tical and successful measures to
bring a better life to the farm
ers in their rice fields.
And in it the sardonic delight
of the cabinet officer who an
nounces that the great Bombay
Burmah company, starters .of
the third Burmese war, first
grand exploiters of this coun
try and stuffiest of all colonial
enterprises, has at last decided
newer investment on the gov
ernment's special joint plan for
foreign capital.
'.
rpHESE things, plus the quality
of the Burmese government
itself with its three remarkable
leaders, U Nu, U Kyaw Nein
and U Ba Swe, justify the most
hopeful forecast.. One of the wis
est men in this city, a brilliant
Indo-Burman. physician, .put the
thing in a nutshell. "I really
begin to believe," he said, "that
we have a great future here in
Eurma if the rest of the world
will just let "uS alone,."
His "if," his caref uf proviso,
sums up the potential tragfedy
of Burma, and -indeed of the free
world. It also implies something
very important to Americans
that there are other things to
worry about in Asia besides the
future of Formosa.
In the long run the greatest
danger in Asia is the political
chain reaction that has started
in Indochina. It is spreading, at
this moment, to South Viet Nam.
If it is not halted at the border,
Cambodia end Laos will come
next.. Then Thailand will fall.
And after the fall of Thailand,
the rest-of South Asia will be
instantly involved. .
Despite Chou En-lai's smooth
professions to the Burmese gov
ernment, the Communists have
already prepared their instru
ments of pressure for future use
here. They have their "Autono
mous Federations" to stir up the
Kachin and Thai peoples on the
frontiers; " their "progressive"
front organizations the Chinese
are financing in Rangoon; and
of course their remaining insur
gents. , These things do not mat
ter much now. But let Thailand
fall. Let the Communists stand
on three quarters of Burma's
borders. Let all the timid and
the doubtful be ; swayed by
enormous new Communist tri-
umphs. . -
'-- .,
AND , then the situation wil
arise of which Burma's U Nu
has always warned India's Jawa-
By Joseph Alsop
hsrlal Nehru.: According to au
tnentic report, U Nu has frank
ly told Nehru that the fall of
Thailand will render Burma's
position "untenable," even if
there is no armed aggression to
fear.
To make this potential trag
edy still more tragic, there is the
further fact that neither the
Asian nor the Western leaders
are really doing much to avert
it. Both India's and Burma's fu
ture are immediately .at stake.
Yet the Indians and Burmese are
reluctant to commit themselves,
by throwing their whple politi
cal and moral weight into the
effort to hall the chain reaction
where it can best be halted,
in Lads and Cambodia.
1 Meanwhile, the American
leaders are utterly preoccupied
with Formosa, which evokes the
reverse of enthusiasm here. And
by the same token, the American
leaders appear . to be utterly
forgetful of the vast and. press
ing danger of a complete upset
of the world balance of power
by the loss of South Asia.
All of which calls to mind
what mad old Mossadegh : said
when a high American official
warned -him the Communists
were trying to take over Persia,
"Too bad, too bad," he cried,
giggling the while. Too bad for
us and too bad for you!"

S. P. Bus Service Scored -
To the Editor: Your editorial
of January 25 has tempted me to
express, my opinion of the
"friendly" Southern Pacific serv
ice, southbound from Medford.
Last fall, on a weekend trip
to Sari Francisco, we left Med
ford by bus and meandered all
afternoon through the back
streets of various small towns to
reach miserable little, out-dated
depots.' The fast, comfortable
journey, from Dunsmuir to San
Francisco, on the train was very
enjoyable with excellent dining
and club car service. The same
was true of the return trip by
train but the final bus jaunt was
a very : disgusting finale to an
otherwise perfect weekend.
It was our luck, to draw ' a
most discourteous driver, who
grudgingly performed the small
est of services. Then, after dark,
the bus broke down on the south'
era outskirts of Ashland and we
were left to find other means of
transportation to Medford. . r
. I realize that this was not the
driver's fault but at least he
could have been pleasant and
helpful. Although at the time,
we took his name and car num
ber that is beside the point now.
Perhaps some day the young man
will learn that common courtesy
and : kindness will win friends
and influence people. However,
there still remains a very dark
browntaste.'

Beaverfon Boys Found
After Night in Woods
' Beaverton (U.R) r Two Beaver
ton boys were scheduled to go
back to school today after they
walked out of rugged moun
tainous country near Umber
yesterday afternoon. They had
been lost in the wild country
overnight.
Corky Minten, 13, and Ted
Xoliver, 14, wandered off from
a trip with Mr. and Mrs. L. -A;
Minten Sunday. When they did
not return after several hours,
search was started.

Supervisors Fed Up
-"I think they are getting fed
up with their jobs, which now
have only a symbolic value,"
said one official, who asked not
to be identified.
He pointed out that the
Swedes and Swiss are realists
and that they are aware their
work in supervising the truce
has been reduced to seeing only
those military shipments and
reading those reports . that the
Communists want them to see.
Gronwall, in effect, confirm
ed this view. He said he could
see "no reason" why personnel
should not be reduced "since the
supervisory work consists mainly
of reading and analyzing reports
of the military commands sent
in by the North and South."
Something Must Be Done
With the Swiss ; and Swedes
fed up with the sham of a truce
supervision, it is obvious some
thing must be done. The only
alternatives to abolishing the
commission are the signing of a
peace treaty or the formation of
a new body to take over the
thankless task.
Both appear unlikely.
For the present and the fore
seeable future, the supervisors
will have to be content with the
thought that "he also serves who
sits , and waits."
Editorial Comment
NO UN-AMERICAN
COMMITTEE
Sen. Mark Hatfield is .right in
his opposition - to the proposed
creation of an un-American ac
tivities committee in Oregon.
The move to establish such a
committee, by Sens. Boivin and
Lonergan, apparently was stim
ulated by a letter , about, some
books used in the public schools.
The contention . is that these
books contain un-American mat
ter, and that a state un-Amer
ican activities committee could
receive such complaints and in
vestigate them. .
In . the 1953-55 Guide for
Teachers published by the State
Department of Education, these
are among the ends listed "to
which each Oregon school di
rects its program:
1. Attain the highest type'
of patriotism - through a
deep and abiding love for
our country, loyalty to its
institutions and "ideas, and
a compelling desire to keep
them inviolate.
2. Develop an understand
ing of the basic principles
of American Democracy
. which include the worth of
the iridividual, justice and
fair dealing. .
3. Strive toward the
ideals of American citizen-; ,
ship and develop a world
outlook and a feeling of per- '1
-. sonal responsibility as a
world citizen.
4, D e v e 1 o p an under
standing that all citizens of
, the United States should en
joy the same privileges and
assume, the same . responsi
bilities of citizenship re-'
gardless of race, national
origin, or creed.
5. Develop an under
standing of the concept that
free enterprise is the key
note of our economic struc
fure. .. '' ; " '
; Anyone who feels that these
goals are un-American, or that
textbooks used, do not carry out
this "philosophy, can take his
complaints to the State Textbook
Commission, - to local school
boards, or to the State Depart
ment of Public Instuction whose
superintendent is an elected of
ficial; Members of these bodies,
either elected: or appointed by
elected officials, must have the
confidence of the public, or they
would not long remain in office.
Surely these . men and women,
whose business it is, are as able
to judge the value of textbooks
as would legislators. ' '
As for subversive activities in
general, any Oregon resident
who. suspects anyone else or has
information or evidence point
ing to subversive activities has
a patriotic duty to report to the
FBI, whose integrity and ability
are- unquestioned, will do -: its
work quiety, too.
Dragging the state legislature
into subversive investigation
seems silly. Oregon Statesman,

In the Day's News
' By FRANK JENKINS
. . In London, Britain's foreign
secretary Sir Anthony Eden tell
the house of commons that Brit
ain trusts President Eisenhow
er's intentions and knows the
President would sanction the
use of American armed forces
ii; the danger area around For
mosa ONLY WITH THE
GREATEST RELUCTANCE.
He emphasized that Britain is
in close touch with the United
States and with the common
wealth governments on the prob
lem. REFERRING to the clash be
tween the Chinese National
ists and the Communists, Eden
made it plain that Britain pre
fers a cease fire. He added:
"Force is no solution to this
delicate . and difficult problem.
A settlement can only be arrived
at by the peaceful process of ne
gotiations."
I. THINK that 99 out of every,
100 Americans are in agree
ment with fiat thinking. So at
so, I'm sure, are President Eis
enhower and State Secretary
Dulles, who are handling the de
tails of this potentially danger
ous affair. .
T OOKING back over our wars, g
we are forced to the conclu
sion that with few exception!
they weren't worth their stag
gering cost.
Also
Looking back over our wars
in -the calm, clear, sharp light
of hindsight, I think it must be
agreed that with greater wis
dom, greater tolerance, MORE
COMMON SENSE, less haste
and excitement most of the sit
uations that have led us into war
in the past could have been
avoided.
At any rate, I'm glad that we
and the British are working
very close together in this tick
lish Asiatic situation. The Brit
ish ran the world for a long
time probably better than any
body had ever run it before.
They've had a lot of experi
ence. They've done a lot of
fighting, to be sure. But they've
also done a lot of compromising
that avoided war. We can learn
many useful things from them.
EDEN spoke to the commons
of the close touch that is
being maintained with the Unit
ed States and with the COM
MONWEALTH GOVERN
MENTS on the problem of For
mosa. Perhaps a word or so on
these commonwealth govern
ments might not be out of place
here.
.The British Commonwealth of
Nations is a group of independ
ent countries associated togeth
er for mutual advantage. Each
member makes its own laws and
is free to manage its relations
with other countries as it sees
fit. It can collect taxes, impose
tariffs and enter into : trade
agreements entirely on its
own. It sends diplomats to other
countries and receives their dip- ,
lemats in return. It makes its
own treaties and declares its
own wars.
THE SYMBOL (not in any way
the RULER) of this associa
tion is the British Crown the
crown that as of now is worn
by Queen Elizabeth. v ;
But
The members of this associt
tion agree - .
The bonds that hold the Com
monwealth of Nations together
are in. the HEARTS OF MEN,
rather than on paper. That is to
say, the British Commonwealth
of Nations is made up of men
who think alike and feel alike
and have common ideals. - .
That is a'll there is to it. -
T THINK we can all agree that
we AMERICANS have more
in common with the peoples who
make up the British Common
wealth of Nations than with any
othei? peoples on earth. That is
why it is reassuring to know
that in this present crisis that
confronts us we are keeping in
ciose toucn wxtn tne common
wealth governments.
