Monday, May CONTINUITY OF POLICY John Foster Dulles, who has charge of making a peace treaty for Japan as the President's chief | adviser in this field, has done Well to make it clear | that the American Government's policy is unchanged. Despite their differences on other matters, the Presi- dent and State Department have seen eye to eye with General MacArthur in respect to a final peace treaty | for Japan, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. The General's recall had nothing to do with his | | or “viewing with alarm” when there-is no cause for it It is especially necessary that British leaders | be made to realize that our policy is mot modified. They have a tendency just now to seize upon the | MacArthur affair as proof that the President and State Department are swinging around toward the British line, which is in some measure one of ap- peasing China. This is not the fact. and the State Department’s blunt rebuke to the British on this point should set the record straight. There clusion of a Japanese treaty whatever for Communist China to sit in on the nego- for hastening the con- But there is no reason are many reason: tiation of such a treaty. And there is no reason to inject Formosa into the beyond stipulating that Formosa is one of the areas formerly Japanese which are no longer to be under Japanese treaty negotiations, Japan. The growing rift between the United States the United Kingdom on Far Eastern policy is unfor tunate. But it would be a tragic folly for the Am- erican Government to close the rift by agreeing the appeasement of Red China. Fortunately, there is no sign of any intention to take such a cot and to And there is a particularly strong statément on the | state record, from the Department, as assurance | against such folly. Secretary of Defense Marshall’s statement th the world situation is worse than it was last Ngvember is of course disturbing. It is disturbing because C eral Marshall cannot make public all his reasons for thinking so. Further, the situation really had begun to look better. Whereas in December people talked | and acted ®as though general war might start any minute, they have since begun to feel that it still was | a year or two off and might ‘concelvably be avoided; for years to ccme. g But General Marshall, by yirtue, of his office as Secretary of Defense, has access to: all ‘the in-} formation available, much of it based ‘on top secret| He is not_given to issuing idle statements | reports Clearly 'the Secretary of Defense would like to conduct of‘the occupation, and nothing to do with| prevent the country from falling into a state of com- placency which might’ have an averse affect on the the plans for & peace treaty.

The Washingfon Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) Unlike MacArthur, McClellan never differed with Lincoln in pub- lic. Also, McClellan was criticized | by Lincoln for being overly cautious and refusing to take the offensive, whereas / Truman’s criticism of Mec- Arthur is over his aggressiveness. Howe botn McClellan - and MacA ir were candidates for the Presidency, and in both cases the real conflict w one of civilian governmgnt ver: military rule. McClellan, son of a famous sur- geon andl graRdSoRBi<F e Mt on ary War general, graduated from West - Point _ second in his class which compares with MacArthur's record average of more than 90. McClellan served as an observer of Russian tactics during the Cri- mean war in 1855, while MacAr- thur, accompanied his father, Lt Gen. Arthur MacArthur. as an observer of the Russo-Japanese war in 1905. McClellan left the Army to be- come chief engineer of the Illin- ois Central railroad, returning via the Ohio National Guard after| Jjumping to the rank of Major Gen- eral. It was in the summer of 1861 that; McClellan, barely past 30, was given | command of the demoralized Union | forces when retreating almost into| Washington. # few months later Lincoln, John Hay and Secretary of State Seward walked to General McClellan’s house in Washington | for a conference and were snubbed by him. As told by Hay in his diary: “We had waited about an hour when McClellan came in and, without paying any particular attention to; the porter who told him the Pres-! ident was waiting to see him, went upstairs, passing the door where the Sec: President and the of State were seated. They about half an hour and sent more a servant to tell the General they were there and the answer coolly came that the General had! gone to bed.” ! Five months passed, and as the; public became impatient with the length of the war (as the public is today with the length of the Korean War) Lincoln, in March 1862, relieved McClellan as com- mander-in-chief but retained him as commander of the Army of the Potomac. i Lincoin Bided His Time Continuing to thumb his nose at Washington, McClellan telegraphed Secretary of War Stanton on June 28: “If I save this Army now I tell you plainly that I owe no thanks to you or any other persons in ‘Washington. You have done your best to sacrifice this Army.” No ordinary subordinate would have dared insult the Secretary of War and get away with it. How- ever, Lincoln took it—for the time being. Just as Truman for some time took MacArthur's many pub-| lic statements going over the President’s head on foreign policy.| Lincoln even took a carriage driv out fo see McClellan at his head- quarters on the James River, at which time McClellan handed “im a let austically criticizing the political and military policy of the Lincoln administration. It was shortly after this visit, however, in the summer of 1862, that Lincoln abruptly relieved Mc- clellan even of his command of the | nominated Democratic | for president which forced Lincoln, Army of the Potomac, only tc re- instate him later in the same sum- mer, “Pope licked and McClellan has the diarrhqea,” Lincoln wrote at that time, Auz. 31, 1862. “What is shall I do. The bottom is out ofj the tub. The bottom is out of the tub.” Yet two' days later Lineoin called on McClellan personally and asked him as a special favor to re- | ume command. McClellan at that time was rjd- ing the crest of the wave, luged with mail not unlik Arthur’s today asging him to. take over the governthent and savethe nation. He did an excellent job of | reorganizing Union forces, but | rowed constantly with Washington ! over failure to get supplies, just as MacArthur demanded more forcements in Korea. After many protests McClellan, then at Har-| pers Ferry, refused to move tn'il) he got more supplies, and, to try to patch matters up, Linc took another long trip to visit him in the {ield. Later, McCleHan’s eon- stant nagging got '~ ‘on "Lircoln’s nerves, for he sent McClellan a\ caustic telegram. ? “I have just received your dis-! patch about sore tongued and fa- | tigued horses,” Lincoln wired. “Willj you pardon me for asking what the Horses of your Army have done since the Battle of Antietam that fatigue anything?” McClellan’s final dismissal also came late at night, just as did MacArthur's. His Army had moved across the Potomac when, around midnight Nov. 7, 1862, a. message arrived from Washington. McClel- lan opened the message and passed ! it to General Burhside with ‘the comment: “Well, Burnside, yo1are to command the Army.” Pelitical Defeat The war stlil had more than two ! luced In years to go, and McClellan, re to civilian life, entered politic; August candid an astute politician, to overrule his party leaders and pick Andrew Johnson, a Democrat, as his vice- presidential running mate. The country was tired of war, just as today. The Union Army had won no victories, and the conflict had seesawed back and forth not far from the Mason-Dixon line, somewhat as the Korean war has seesawed across the 38th parallel. The Democrats, therefore, were confident of victory. Howevel Sherman’s and Sheridan’s victorie in the South turned the tide, and McClellan’s views on Secret of State Seward might also be com- pared with MacArthur's views on Secretary of State Ache- son. Writing to his wife in October 1861, McClellan said: “I can't tell you how disgusted I am becoming with these wretched politicians. I think Seward is the meanest of them all. He has done more .than any other one man to bring all this misery upon the country. . . The President is nothing more than a well-meaning baboon.” SATURDAY FIRE CALL The fire call at 6:25 pm.
