Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer brought up the topic again. He has suggested several steps in the Far East which, he says, would involve such risks. But he feels the steps should be taken none- the-less. “Calculated risks” are part foreign policy of major world powers too—particularly “in times when the possibility of war seems imminent. The term refers to any policy a| nation might pursue which, in its development, could logically lead to an outbreak of hostilities, but which is calculated to achieve an end worth the risks in- volved—an end so vital to the interests of the insti- gating power that loss or defeat of the principle would be deemed a national tragedy worse than armed conflict. During the last 15 years the United States has been forced into such positions on several occasions When America sided with Great Britain early in World War IT we took such a calculated risk, on the theory that Britain's defeat would be worse for [hw’ country than a possible second world conflict with the German: During the critical days of, the Berlin Airlift the world was cognizant of the tremendous— but calculated—gamble we were pursuing. Our course in Greece and Turkey in 1947 was fraught with serious dangers. But we pursued it—to the advantage of the cause of democracy. Senator Taft has felt that ‘the entire North Atlantic Alliance program carried a heavy—and to him unwarranted—risk of involving us in war with Russia. Each of the incidents listed above held grave dan- | zers. Each, the government felt, was necessary tof democratic security and thus to- the security of America as a democratic nation. That we have judged accurately in the great majority of cases is proved from the fact that none of these incidents—with the exclusion of China—has brought military action. The ks we have taken in the Far East have resulted in two d rs. The first came when Japan struck in Hawaii.

General MacArthur and General Wedemeyer, both experts in the Far East, feel that we have not hunv bold enough in our Asiatic policy. They admit the] risks involved—but feel that the-ends are vital to the survival of the Western world. Both have presented strong cases to support their theories. Both feel that the chances of success, under such a plan, would have been far greater than chances of failure. The majority of Americans are soundly behind them in this con- tention. Another great trouble with human beings is their strong propensity for doing as they please. Things have changed somewhat since Al Smith made the crack.

To get out of the Role it raised prices, which in turn jcaused smuggling . . . one of the Rest-known signers of the De- clarafion of Independence, John Hancock, was a top smuggler, who got caught with a warehouse full of smuggled tea at a time when the British reduced prices and per- mitted tea retailers to buy direct from the company . naturally Hancock was sore.

WHO THE FOUNDERS WERE— When John Hancock sighed the Declaration, he wrote his name in large letters so the King of Eng- land could see it without using spectacles.
