The jarring effect of fact is halting this thoughtless conduct. The State Republican Council of Oregon Women, Inc.. Bulletin No. 23. gives a fair sample of thoughtlessness. Here is a part of a paragraph of the Republican statement: “. . . . The President should have done as a great president such as Abraham Lincoln would have done, called into his counsel top ranking men not only in the State Department but in the Armed Services and those skilled in statescraft and they could have worked out together a proper solution. It seems incredible that any one man or small clique would presume to decide this momentous question without most careful consultation with the object of their wrath and with others who could view this situation objectively . . . .” Before the Senate investigating committees Secretary of Defense George Marshall testified. “Shortly after General MacArthur's statement of March 21. Congressman Joseph Martin of Massachusetts released for publication a letter addressed to him by General MacArthur, dated March 20. 1951. This letter was brought to the attention of the President on April 5. There­ after, the President called a meeting of his special assistant. Averell Harri­ man. the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, and General Bradley. No decision was taken at this meeting, but after full discussion, the President requested that all records bearing on the subject be brought to his at­ tention.” Marshall's testimony continued, “Oil the following day, Saturday, this same group again met with the President at 8:50 in the morning for a further discussion of the subject. It was suggested that the matter be considered individually over the weekend. The President directed me, as Secretary of Defense, to secure the views of the Chiefs of Staff from a purely military point of view.” Further Marshall testified. "These recommendations were reported to the President by General Bradley at a meeting the next morning, Monday, April 9, which was also attended by Mr. Harriman, the Secretary of State, and myself. With the unanimous concurrence of all those present, the President at that time took his decision to relieve General MacArthur." General Marshall's testimony at a later session shows that MacArthur received a personal letter from the President dated January 13, 19,">1, ex­ plaining the Administration's policy in Korea. It is fully apparent that MacArthur was given every opportunity for mending his ways. During the Civil war President Lincoln had on his hands an arrogant general. Lincoln gave that general every opportunity to behave himself. Lincoln finally had to relieve General McClellan of his command. McClellan had Presidential ambitions too!

SHOE REPAIRS On the bottoms it has worked for there as a rule the soil is suited to richer crops than trees. From these lowland clearings our townsites and farms were formed. The later comers had faith that they could do as well on the uplands, believing that where trees would grow anything should grow. There are still many who do not know that the tree feeds through its leaves on sunlight and air, only quenching its thirst from the ground.
