Van Fleet, new A-TANGLE OF PARTISAN POLITICS a The Associated Press recently polled forty-five United States Senators, asking whether they favored the proposals of General MacArthur or the strategy now being followed in fighting the Chinese Communists in Asia. With three exceptions the division of ‘the Senators were along party lines. Twen- ty-one Democrats and one Republican backed the President’s program to con- tinue.the present strategy while twenty- ohe: Republicans and tivo Democrats tavor- eff thé MacArthur plan to blockade the China; coast, operate’ aircraft over Man- churia and use the Chinese Nationalists on | Formésa to fight the Chinese Communists on the mainland. ‘ ‘This poll, while relatively unimpor- tan, and jneluding. less than half of the membership of the Senate, reveals. very definitely the politics involved in the dis- | cussion of the MacArthur removal. This is unfortunate for the country but it is a | be- | patent fact that the entire issue has come inyolved in paftisan polities which, toa large extent, prevents reasonable and intelligent. discussion. It is worth noting that the two Demo- crats who declared for MacArthur were Senator Pat MeCarrag, of Nevada, and | Senator Olin D. Johngton, of South Caro- ‘lina. The former meg that the General -| shoilld be put “back ig full command” and the latter has been “for the MacArthur '| policy all the time.” On the other side, Séiiator Wayne Morse, of Oregon; Repub- liean, expresses the view that the current strategy for fighting aggression is “‘prefer- able to the proposals advanced by’ Gen- eral MacArthur.” Ever sinee we knew that movie mak- Gommander of the United Nations ground | o,, pay hundreds of thousands of dollars forces, © weonfidence intheir “ultimate victory.” --"""Watling attention to the masses of ‘enemy. fighters the General emphasizes othe Advantages that are on the side of his forces, calling attention to the “uncon- “tested friendly naval and air supremacy?

It is worth noting that the Russians, in rejecting the American demand, set up ‘tthe contention that Great Britain got a better deal when it settled after the war. Of course, this has nothing to do with the peacetime value of the goods left in Rus- jsia but if the Russians really wish to com- plain on this score they should have cited the agreement with Italy which got a much “better deal” than the British. oh las i te i THE KEY WEST CITIZEN AP Newsleatures CONCH CHOWDER It’s rumored that a dozen ‘sip- pers took the pledge after a skunk appeared at the bar of thé’ Trade Winds lounge . . .
