The only way to end it would be to get off the planet. DUT until then we would like to see the word bar- red in congressional debate, at least during the present crisis. "Co-existence" is here whether we like it or not.' We co-existed with Germany through two wars; we co-existed with Russia when it was a slave state and a Communist one: we co-exist today with Jugoslavia, which is Communist, and and sundry small dictatorships, without serious dif ficulty, or injury.

Hong Kong ' For what it may be worth, the Chinese Com munist leaders have solemnly declared their intention of taking For mosa this year to high offi cials of the Burmese gov ernment. This report er learned this remark able fact from an undoubt e d Joseph Alsop source just be fore leaving Rangoon. Superfi cially, it may not seem to add greately to the loud protesta tions that, "Taiwan must be ours" which have been heard on the Peking Radio for the nast year. ; But in reality there is a wide difference between a radio bar rage with all its varied domestic and other motives, and a confi dential disclosure to leading men of friendly governments. Indian oficials are reputed to have received the same disclos ure as the Burmese. There is further significance in the disclosure's timing. It was made in the midst of, indeed as an mcident of. the elaborate Chinese Communist courtship of the Indians and Burmese. If Chou En-lai and his colleagues were just hunting for- conven ient dupes, it is rather1" hard to see why they chose the two chief Asian governments which have approved Premier Chou's "Five principles of co-existence." There are good reasons to be lieve, in fact, that the disclos ure to the Burmese was made in the course of Prime Minister U Nu's . elaborately organized state visit to Peking. As already reported in this space, the great Chinese Communist theme with U Nu was that China was being "encircled" by American bases; that the American intention was to destroy China in the end; and that China would therefore run any risk to destroy these hostile bases first. " ' It can now be stated, however. that responsible Chinese Com munist leaders went even , fur ther with members of U Nu's party. They pin-poujted Formosa as the . "American base" thev were most 'determined to des troy. They stated that they meant every word of their ra dio propaganda about taking the Dig isiana, witnout qualification. And they even discussed the na ture of their plan. TVHE Burmese officials evident- A ly inquired how the Chinese leaders could conceivably hope to take Formosa proper, with so many, miles of open water be tween the big island and the mainland. The reply was that air warning on Formosa was poor; that the morale of the gov ernment and people was low: and that Formosa would be soft- ened up for the final attack by powerful air bombings of Tai peh and other centers. Whether this assessment is stiu correct, this reporter hopes to find out on the spot in a few days. It was certainly , correct last year. The : Chinese might nave aaaed, and perhaps did add, that against land based IL 28 jet bombers and bomb carrv- ing MIG 15s, our "aircraft car riers in the narrow waters of the Formosa Strait would have a very hard time indeed. There is no hard information as to whether this latter point was maoe. in any case, the Chi- nese convinced the .Burmese iney meant business and were wuimg xo risk American repri sals. In Rangoon, in fact, a auiet warning of bad trouble to come in wnma was recently given to a friendly neutral diplomat leav ing for Peking on an entire peaceful and irrevelant special mission. .. ; s . .

It is simply worth noting uxt- xne wunese leadei s de clared tneir warlike intentions with such positiveness and in such detail to the Riirmp whom they are courting. They may have been seeking to frighten the extremelv stout hearted and astute Burma gov ernment," for they liave reason to fear that the Burmese will abandon-what -may -be-called the Nehru position 5 if Communist pressure in South Asia goes much further. Or the Chinese may simply have been unburd ening themselves of their real plans. - . t ' - - - If a complete shot in the dark is permissible, these Chinese warnings to the LAsian neutrals, mere bluster though they 'may be, have probably produced one very ; important result already. For ; the: news ;has ; surely been passed on to Washington, through London or by some oth er route. And such news would be just the kind of secret lever that could shift the President from hC firm former position, and lead, him to the new deci sion to include Quemoy and the Matsu .islands in the Formosa defense perimeter. THE general ; confidence that tiie.dChinese do not mean By Joseph Alsop - business about 'Formosa proper has been squarely , based on the same habit of thought that was the real .explanation - of Pearl Harbor the habit of thinking out what the other fellow will do on the basis, of what you would do ,if you were the other fellow. .The news here given, whether it means anything or not, would be. likely to raise a question mark among " those thinking along these ' lines,: in Washington. And the natural re sult would be a bolder and tougher policy. .

Meetings Helpful To the Editor: I have received so much spiritual help from the series of meetings being held in the Free Methodist church this week that I feel compelled to tell others about it.

Ike Needs Help and Sympathy To the Editor: While the Pres ident did not need the endorse ment of the Congress he thought it, wise, because of the horrible precedent that had been set by tnree Presidents before him in saying one thing, and doing an other. Wilson told the Germans we were too proud to . fight. Roosevelt said our mothers' sons would never fight on foreign soil, and Acheson said we would not defend .Formosa or Korea. As these statements resulted in three wars, the,. President wanted to make sure that there would be n6 mistake about him doing what he said he would, if they tried to take Formosa: - There was no need or excuse for any argument, only to create confusion. However, it gave an opportunity for the man holding the record of making the long est speech ever recorded, with out changing a single vote, to demonstrate to . his friends and coworkers in state owned in dustry that he was trying to pro tect them from our war-mong-ering President... , Our'' President is overloaded with, responsibility, and needs all the help - and ; sympathy his friends can give him.

McCann, who is iU, the fol lowing special dispatch is substituted for his foreign news commentary. - By EARNEST HOBERECHT United Press Correspondent Taipeh, Formosa (U.R) Red China's repeated claims that Formosa and all other Chinese soil will be "liberated" by the Chinese Communist armies have raised a question about the fu ture status of Hong Kong. Chinese Nationalist sources are speculating that Britain may have good reason to be concern ed for its small but rich and strategic colony in the Pearl river, delta. Many : important sources here are convinced' that the Chinese Reds are merely biding their time before grabbing the Brit ish colony. Some are suggesting that the Peiping regime will turn its attention to Hong Kong if they are convinced they can not seize Formosa. , : One prominent . Chinese Na tionalist official said today: "We think the Communists first will try to maneuver Britain into giv ing Hong Kong back to them, If political' maneuvering fails, it's a good: guess the Chinese PuHe will ir r o1ta if V.r va " Determination Stressed t Nationalist quarters point to Communist broadcasts from Pei ping which have rejected the Formosa cease fire plan, which was ' strongly recommended to Peiping by BritainThese broad casts, . they add, have stressed Red China's determination to continue : military action until they get Formosa. -' These propaganda thunder ings lead informed quarters here to believe Peiping does not want to become bound by any cease fire or other formula which would limit or deter Red expan sion plans. Talent Project Still Given Fair Chance, Ellsworth Believes By HARRIS ELLSWORTH MC , Washington If Federal proj ects could be built in Oregon by speeches made on . the Floor of the . United States Senate our worries would be over. They cannot be built that way. Over $400,000 Available The fact is that $84,000 was allocated last year for work on this project and that the new budget calls for $352,000 for the most urgently needed work pro vided for in the Talent authori zation. This money will be used toward the rebuilding of the Medford and Rogue River Valley irrigation district facilities. Another $30,000 was budgeted for further planning. Secretary .McKay urged the inclusion' in the budget of $2, 500,000. for construction on the major works of the project. The Bureau of the Budget did not put that amount in. In Novem ber I was informed that the fig ures in the hands of the Bureau were all in good order. The proj ect, is a sound one and clearly stands- on its own feet with re spect to repayment of the money to the Treasury. When the item did not appear in the budget I asked the Bureau what happen ed. Here is the story revealed by a conference with Budget Direc tor Hughes and his technical people: v . -. The project .was set aside for further study by' the Bureau be-; cause the data in their nands in dicated an amazingly low bene fits to cost ratio which in simple language means that the government appeared to be foot ing part of the cost as a subsidy whereas irrigation projects: are required to pay put with a mar gin to spare. ' .' ; . . 5 - Simple Typing Error j Upon comparing their data with figures furnished me by the Interior Department and by the Talent district, it was dis covered first of all that a simple typing error in 4he report sub mitted by the Department of Agriculture reduced the per acre return several dollars. Then , it was discovered that more than 8,000 acres of land to be irrigat ed were classified as grass lands with low income return per acre (International Soundphoto) Another factor pointing , to trouble for Hong Kong' in the not too distant future is the attitude of Chinese Communists toward all foreigners on their soil. It is reasonable to assume that they resent the .presence of the British in , Hong Kong. Even the' . Nationalists, before they were driven from the main land, were bringing pressure on .Britain to recognize the crown colony as Chinese and return it to China. Would Look for More "Nationalists realize that the Reds will take all they can get and would soon be . .looking to ward the Philippines, once For mosa fell," a government, official said. Outwardly, at least, the Brit ish in Hong Kong appear to view the situation calmly. v "Maybe jthey are right " the same Nationalist leader said, "Maybe they have nothing to lear. But the record of the Com munists to date would lead one to believe otherwise, "Since 1945, Communist con trolled territory ' has been ex panded; by military -efforts by more than 3,891,000 square miles Hong' Kong's 32 square miles would be a mere drop in the bucket, in terms of real estate. But it would be a gigantic plum for Peiping's prestige and it has strategic importance as well. The biggest factor weighing against ; a Red move on Hong .ri.ong is its importance , to the Communists" as a base for trade both in goods and information with the West, If Peiping decides the ad vantages of seizure outweigh those of keeping that "window" open in Asia, it is believed here that a move, against Hong Kong will not be long coming whereas they w'ijl be in orchards with much higher return. It was also found that a late revision of the 'figures on income from the sale of power had not reach ed the Budget Bureau's file on the project. The new figure in dicates a return from power nearly ,25 greater, than origi nally calculated. Other very favorable figures raising the total of indirect bene fits from the project are also now incuded in the file. " It shoud be remembered, with reference to this or to any other project, that the President and the Bureau of the Budget and the Appropriations Committees of Congress look at them criti cally. It must be proven beyond question that a :project is sound and right before money' is either budgeted or appropriated. Working with the district peo ple, we are now getting the cor rect data in the hands of the Budget Director. I think it likely that a budget item for starting the construction portion of the Talent project may be sent to Congress before too, long.
