Tokyo 'IP On opposite
sides of the Straits of Formosa
opposing forces representing op
posing ideologies are building
the military machines that could
trigger Wrold War III.
A fighting war between the
United States and Communist
China could be touched off in
a minute by a Peiping effort to
take Formosa by force.
There are those who say that
war between the U.S. and Com
munist China is inevitable un
less one or the other alters its
Peiping has massed large
numbers of her top fighting men
on the mainland shore facing
Formosa. They are in a spring
board position.
There are at least nine new
Communist airfields there, too.
Some are large enough to handle
medium jet bombers and the
latest Russian-built jet fighters.
These land-based planes might
be able to control the air over
the Formosa Strait. At least
they would be in a good position
to challenge the U.S. Seventh
Fleet.
Guided Missiles '
On Formosa, the Americans i
have further fortified the Re
public of China position by send
ing in guided missiles. By pull
ing a trigger these weapons can
be sent screaming toward Red
China's airfields, ports and other
Formosa policy. The Chinese I military targets.
Communists have sworn they
will "liberate" Formosa, even if
they have to use soldiers and
guns to do it. The Americans
have pledged their might to de
fend the island stronghold of
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek.
Political maneuvering Is un
derway, but appears to be mak
ing no headway. Representatives
of the U.S. and Communist
China have been holding confi
dential talks in Geneva since
August 1955. They are trying

to settle some of the problems
facing their two nations but
have made practically no pro
gress. The only encouraging thing is
that they still are talking, not
fighting.
Important Link
American military men insist
that the U.S. and other anti
Communist powers need For
mosa. They say it is not only
important that the people there
be kept from falling under Red
rule but also important that the
island be kept as an unsinkabie
aircraft carrier.
Situated as it is between
Okinawa and the Philippines, it
is regarded as an important
link in the U.S. defense per
imeter in the western Pacific.
U. S. Firmness Pays
Both American diplomats and
American military men feel that
U.S. firmness over Formosa
discourages the Chinese Com
munists from aggression else
where in Asia. In this connec
tion, ii interesting to note that
some American generals believe
the North Korean Communists
never would have attacked the
Republic of Korea if they had
known that the U.S. was willing
Lukewirm Praise
For Oil Import Curb
Washington HH Congress
men from oil and coal-producing
states voiced lukewarm praise
Tuesday for the Eisenhower ad
ministration's plan to curb oil
imports.
Domestic producers and legis
lators from oil and coal states
have strongly urged the admin
istration to cut oil imports. They
claimed the current import rate
hurts American oil and coal in
dustries and thus endangers na
tional security.
President Eisenhower acted
late Monday by announcing his
approval of recommendations of
a Cabinet committee which has
been studying the problem. The
committee recommended that
U. S. oil importing fims be asked
voluntarily to cut back imports
about 20 per cent below present
levels.

to fight there.
So long as the Republic of
China exists on Formosa, the
millions of important "overseas"
Chinese are not finally commit
ted to Peiping. These expatriate
Chinese play an important role
in many Asian countries and it
would greatly strengthen Peit-
ing's hand throughout Asia if
all these owed their loyalty to
the Communist government.
Cause Believed Doomed
There are those who argue
that the Nationalist cause is
doomed to failure and that the
Communists will succeed in the
end.
This stand draws a heated de
nial from many quarters, some
of whom point out that the
Communists are headed for real
trouble and time is working
against them, not against the
nationalists.
It is true that Communism no
longer wears the "sure winner"
tag it once boasted in Asia. Ag
gressive Corrfmunism has been
stopped in Korea and Viet Nam.
Communist organizers no longer
find it easy to get recruits in
the Philippines, Japan and other
countries. And reports coming
out of Red China ielf tell of
increasingly serious difficulties
thwe.

Baymond F. I am one of a
family of six children. We all
had very unhappy childhoods
because our parents are not the
type who show affection. Our
father was stern and aloof and
Mother was so. ground down oy
him and financial worries that
she had little spirit or energy
left for us.
Neverthless, we all grew up
to be decent, law-abiding indi
viduals. My sisters married well
and my brother is doing well in
his profession. Only I, perhaps
because I was youngest, have
had great difficulty in adjusting
to life. I am insecure financially
and am having marital trouble.
I would like to see a psycho
logist or marriage counselor.
This means morey which I
don't have. I feel that my mother
should try to prevail on my fath
er to help me. I need, not only
his financial help, but the as
surance that my parents are be
hind me and want to help me.
Mrs. L. F. What Raymond
says is true in some respects,
but he is a little unfair to his
father. My husband loved the
children very much, but didn't
believe in "coddling" them. He
is European and comes of people
who believed it was shameful
to make a display . of . feeling.
He showed his love by trying
to teach them to do right.
Raymond's father "tetill feels
as he always did that the chil
dren must be entirely o their
owo as soon as they are old
enough. It may sound harsh, but
Raymond knows that his father
can't be moved once he has made
up his mind. Besides, he doesn't
believe in psychologists and
would never give money for a
thing like that.
I would like to help Raymond,
but he knows that he is asking
for the impossible. I have no
way of getting money to him
without his father knowing, and
anyway, Raymond says he wants
it to come directly from his
father. Raymond could get a
bank loan if he tried.
The Council: Raymond, him
self, says the money is not the
the main issue. He seeks "as
surance that my parents are
behind me." He wants his father
to show the love he feels was
denied him in childhood. Yet
Raymond knows that his father
does not approve of psychologists
and is inflexible on the subject
of giving financial hlp to grown
children.
Why then, does Raymond ask
for help he knows will be de
nied? His position is so painful
and humiliating, it would appear
that he should go to any lengths
to avoid it. Since he has gone
out of his way to place himself
in this position, he must want it.
He Wants to impose suffering on
himself and this is more im
portant to him than getting help
with his problems.
Raymond should avoid dwel
ling on the real or imagined
wrongs dealt him in childhood.
He is not capable of evaluating
the situation objectively and is
only digging deeper Into his rut.
He could benefit from guidance
from a reliable, objective source,
but he should get over the idea
that he needs his parents' suo
port in the enterprise. He shouid
try to earn the extra money for
this help, or borrow from a dis
interested source, or find out
whether he would be eligible
tor social aa?ncy assistance.
Part of Raymond's treatment
would undoubtedly involve
wrenching himself free from his
obsession about what his father
ought to do for him.
