Ei- senhower has thought of some way of trying to end the Korean War, he can hardly say so openly—at this time, anyway. Since he’s not yet president, he’s not im a position to give orders although he can lay the ground- work for them. He may be doing so during his conferences with members of his Cabinet in the were hile the American public would e to know if he’s made a decision about Korea, the Com- munists would too. For instance, if he decided on a surprise of- fensive and let the word leak out, the oor would hardly be surprised by It has Adley said before that no \president-elect was ever in as |strange a position as Eisenhower. |He has inherited a war and helped get himself elected by promising jto visit its front if he won. Because of his record as a mili- tary leader, it is natural that many people will confidently be- lieve he ought to be able to end it. Yet, any attempted solution seems loaded with danger. _If early in his administration he cuts loose with a plan—such, for instance, as an offensive to drive the Communists north of the Yalu River—and is successful his pres- tige will increase accordingly. If he tries a plan which results in higher casualties but doesn’t end the war, he will have suffered a ao early in his administra- leg in a tough spot for a man taking over the presidency, be- cause, in any decision about try- ing to end the fighting in Korea, he has to consider more than driv- ing the Communists back. America’s allies in Korea have to be considered—how they feel about any plan he proposes. The kind of plan that’s used, if any, is bound to affect the thinking of the rest of the people of Asia to- ward, or against, this country. And he has to consider whether the steps which might be taken in Korea would lead to full-scale war with Russia or whether Rus- sia would start an outbreak some place else while we were concen- trating strength in Korea.
