Wasteful though it may seem, it is far better to have too many troops and too much ammunition than not enough. Proceeding on this principle, the military establishment is sending two Marine divisions snd additional fighter and attack aviation to Korea. And s a further precaution, the strength of all the armed | be done in this direction. We would be failing in | perspicacity if we did not recognize the possibility | that Russia intended the Korean war as » feint, to involve us in the East while some bold Communist | move is made elsewhere. ; An additional large aircraft carrier, the Midway, |and four destroyers are being sent to the Mediter- |ranean. This virtually will double our sea and air- \power in Europe. Additional Air Force squadrons probably can be assigned to Europe in the same way. For the moment, this may be sufficient to maintain the proper military posture in Europe. of these may well be placed in Western Germany. But the first effect of the draft is to reduce our available ground forces, because officers and non- coms have to be assigned to the training of inductees. For that reason, reinforcements in Europe may well be limited to sea and air units. ' Canada to Play Part (Prince Rupert Daily News) People of Canada must be gratified to learn from |the Prime Minister that definite and extensive steps are being taken with a view oo organizing the Domin- ion’s_ fighting and industrial forces against the grim | possibilities of the deteriorating international situa- ,‘nnn. The feeling ha dbeen developing that Canada | was not moving quickly enough in that direction, was, |indeed, not keeping pace with other parts of the | Commonwealth, particularly the Motherland, Aus- ;traliu and New Zealand, in rising to the possible re- quirements of the United Nations and the North At- lantic Pact nations. The Prime Minister’s statement should dispel to considerable extent dissatisfaction that there may have been along that line. Meantime, Parliament is put on the stand-by order with the probability that a special session will be called six or seven weeks hence after various phases of the accelerated defense and mutual aid program have been perfected—or sooner if the emergency be- comes suddenly more intensified. Then, when the session does come, Parliament will have the program and the facts before it and will be able to pass its certain approval with a minimum of delay. Raising of the manpower, the Prime Minister indi- cated, is to be on the volunteer basis. There had not When additional ground forces are available, some forces is being augmented.

Malik in Doghouse Inside the U. N. Security Coun- cil: Soviet Delegate Jacob Malk is in the Kremlin doghouse because he let U. S. Delegate Warren Aus- tin necdle him into saying that the only Russian arms possessed by the North Koreans were those “wiich we sold them when Soviet forces withdrew from Korea.” * This is the first time Malik o1 any other Soviet leader has ad- mitted that the North Koreans are using Soviet weapons. More important, from the stand- point of the United States, it will make wonderful propaganda if we discover any Soviet military equip- ment in Korea that wasn't the: when the Russians withdrew. This would expose Malik as a liar before the world. For instance, we have positive knowledge that the Russians had no jet planes in Korea at the time they departed in December, 1947, So if the North Koreans turn up with jet planes, they must have come from Russia after the with- drawal .
