PRESIDENT TRUMAN’S HISTORIC DECISION—to commit American armed forces to ac-
tion in South Korea, send naval protection to Formosa and bolster the defenses of the Philip-
pines and Indo-Chlna—closed the final gap in a "Red-quarantine" line extending around Sov-
iet-dominated world. The long-range, Cold Wir strategy to create "situations of strength"
and oppose Red aggression wherevpr it threatened has had many facets, ranging from the
Marshall Plan to the show of Allied determination that kept Red youths from “capturing"
Berlin. Its major dramatic peak—before Korea—was the victory of the airlift and Russian
easing of the Berlin blockade. Informed military observers believe that the Red invasion of
Korea was merely the kick-off for stepped-up Communist conquests of Formosa, Southeast
Asia and Central Europe. As a major turning point in the Cold War, the 38th parallel in Korea
rmild go down in history as “the place where World War HI began,” or as one of the great land-
marks on I he road to world peace.

Of Shooting Wm
NEW YORK (UP) — Russia
has conquered more territory In
the five years of the cold war
than any nation ever has won In
a shooting war, economic co-
operation administrator Paul G.
Hoffman said here recently.
Hoffman, in a speech at the
United States conference of
mayors, said the Kremlin has
won some notable victories in
the last few years.
“More than 'five times as
many people as there are in the
United States now obey the
voice of Moscow,” he said. "The
Kremlin holds dominion over a
land mass which is almost nine
times the size of the continental
United States."
This has been a cold war, he
said, “yet no shooting war in
history ever brought so much
territory or so many people un-
der the yoke of a conqueror as
these cold wars have won for
Russia within five years."
Hoffman said the Kremlin’s
cold war was being waged on
all the four fronts usually in-
volved in a shooting war mili-
tary, economic, political and in-
formational.
"We have won some battles in
western Europe," he added, "but
we haven’t won the cold war.”
Before adjourning, the may-
ors adopted a number of resolu-
tions. In them, the mayors:
Urged Congress to crack
down on gambling and crime.
Asked the federal government
to make specific recommenda-
tions on what cities should do in
organizing local civil defense
programs.
Asked Congress to assure
completion of the airport con-
struction program outlined in
the federal airport act of the
1946.
Urged states to reapportion
their representatives on the ba-
sis of the 1950 census when it
is completed.
The mayors also asked Con-
gress to give cities at least 50
per cent instead of the present
25 per cent, of federal funds
for urban road building.
