Proposals For Chinese Aid
Call For Careful Checking
W
I
Gen. Clare Chennault Is admittedly
Eed in the Chinese Nationalists' fa-
r, but he certainly knows his China. He
fought with the Chinese and lived
them for years. He knows the eoun-
1 the people, their strengths and
weaknesses. So it is probably a pre-
ion even to question his recommen-
ions of policy toward China.
Yet we find it hard to see how they

There is nothing novel in the gen-
’s proposed solution. He would have

»m of military and economic assistance.
estimates the cost at $350,000,000 a
ir. How he arrived at this figure he
not say. But his guess is probably
good as anyone's.
He does not suggest that American
>ps be sent to China. But he points
that there are still available "vast
tockpiles of arms and materials lying in
ie Philippines and Pacific bases.” With
he told a Semite committee, “a new
Chinese resistance may yet be armed-"
«. "The thing lacking in China.” Genual
Chennault said, "is a reasonable hope of
defensive victory to give the will to resist,
This we can create if we choose.”
1 If that is the only thing needed to tui i:
the tide in China, then we should certain-
ly choose to create it. But if one may form
a remotercontrol opinion from news ac-
tounts of the Chinese civil war, it would
seem that there could be other obstacle*
to a Nationalist survival.
This opinion is based on the assump-
tion that the news accounts are accurate.
If they are, then the Nationalists started
out the war with modern American equip-
ment superior in quality and quantity to the
Communists’. ‘ A vast amount of that
equipment has now fallen into Communist
hands. Have we any assurance that by
providing millions' worth of further equip-
ment America could revive a will to resist
and reverse"the.whole picture?
There have been fairly recent stories
of rifts between the Nationalist groups
headed by Generalissimo Chiang and act-
ing President Li. There have been stories
of war-weary citieh which took truce ne-
gotiations out of the government’s hands
and made peace with the Communists
themselves. And, of eourse, there are the
old stories of a corrupt government which
cannot have made the sorry lot of the aver-
age Chinese any easier.
Something must be done in the East,
and any suggestion for an American pol-
icy there is better than none. But it does
seem that there should be as careful a
check as possible on the contention that
more material aid from us will solve
China's problems.
America has already spent many mil-
lions for that purpose in what, up to now,"
has been a losing operation. Congress cer-
tainly ought not to rush ahead and appro-
priate hundreds of millions more without
at least a reasonable hope that the "vast
stockpiles” which General Chennault men-
tioned would not end up as tools of the
Communists, rather than as American
weapons in Pacific outposts where they
may be needed later.

Too Many Republican Cooks

WASHINGTON— (NEA)-The Republican Parly is
” troubles some more. Last week's meeting of the
National Organisation Strategy Committee in Washington
lots of harmony and a demand that somebody ought to rain
but little else. This goose-egg performance tied the
GOP Congressional Policy Committee actions
nothing, too. 1
The Republican Strategy Committee, which in Washington at
the call of National Chairman Hugh D. Scott, Jr., was made up of
half a dozen element*. Representatives were there from the Repub-
lican National fcommittee, the Republican House Committee, the Re-
publican Senatorial Committee, fie Republican Governors, the Re-
publican State Central Committees and National and State Finance ■
Committees. 1 V
It was apparently a case of too many Cooks to do any cooking, All
that came out was a decision to m something later on So anyone
holding his breath to And out whatfthe new and revitalized party now
stand* far, might as well relax Policy decisions, it is now announced,
are to be worked out at a series of regional conferences.

Washington. — Mrs. Truman, a graduate cum
iaude of Prof. Ramon Ramos—White House Span-
ish class several years ago. will be the honored
alumnus at a tea to be given by the class at the
Pan American Union. The class is one of a group
«€ Spanish classes started by Mrs. Clarence Nor-
ton Goodwin, wife of a Washington attorney, to
Od the good neighbor policy of former Secretary
Of State Cordell Hall.
Members of the classes, which were begun
about six years ago, are atl wives of prominent
figures in Washington’s official circles—Supreme
Court Justice, Cabinet members, Senators, Gener-
als and so on.
Mrs. Truman was an enthusiastic student of
Prof. Ramos. When Mr. Truman became Presi-
dent, and it was no longer possible for her to at-
tend the regular classes, a special class was formed
which met regularly at the White House until the
building was dosed for repairs. This clasa it now
meeting at the Pan American Union building. Ac-
tivities ot the affiliated classes have continued,
and they now number between 60 and 70 mem-
bersq
One group meets every Tuesday afternoon in
a chamber of the Senate Office JBuilding. Mrs.
Robert Taft, wife of the Ohio Republican senator,
who will be chairman of hostesses for the tea, is
« member. Others include Mrs. Tom Connally,

Braanan Farm Program
The Brannan Plan for the farm-
ers. to take the place of the Hope-
Aiken Act, that would become ef-
fective next year is meeting with
from eye trouble, more than 500,-
000 suffer from orthopedic and
plastic difficulties, 600.000 with
rheumatic fever, and 200.000
from epilepsy. This money is to

when first presented by the Sec-
retary of Agriculture. The plan is
definitely in the direction of helo*
ing the family-size farm. With
easy credit for farmers in the
purchase of farm homes, with a
declining land price and price sup-
ports which are equal to a guaran-
teed income, the percentage of
tenants on the farm should be
greatly reduced, and we should
have instead a very high percent-'
age of farm ownership.
I believe the Administration
should meet this problem head-
in and advise the consumers that
they will have to pay higher
prices by reason of price supports
for farm products, but at the same
time, convince the consumers of
America, which can be done, that
genuine and lasting prosperity for
all classes gnd groups in our coun-
try is not possible without farm
prosperity, and good price* are
necessary to make the farmers
reasonably prosperous.
Children'* Health
The Senate, by unanimofls vole,
passed the Bill to allot 136-mil-
lion of Federal funds to the states
for the health of all the nation’s
school children. This amount is to
be spent, if the Bill becomes a law,
in medical examination of school
children. The Committee compiled
some figures to show that more
than four million children suffer

net H something can’t be worked out at the grass roots level to help
the Republicans get back the larm vote.
The idee of having one big National Republican convention lust
before the 1852 congressional elections was apparently killed for good
This ties in with sentiment from on* wing of the party leadership,
to the effect that the Republicans already have a good enough plat-
form. The reference is to the platform adopted at Philadelphia last
June This platform has never been used, according to on* somewhat
cynical view, and they might a* well try to get some good out of it
instead of starting from scratch to build a new on*.

over public welfare legislation and the whole Truman legislative pro-
gram in general.
At last week’* meeting of the National Organization Strategy Com-
mittee. which was created by Chairman Scott after the Omaha Ha-
tional Committee meeting last January, somebody did produce a draft
statement of principles for which the party should stand. No action
was taken on it. The reception was so cool that nobody claimed
authorship
Specifically, the eight-point program was against high taxes, more
power for the chief executive and communism, It was for a sound
national economy, the highest living standard for all, an open foreign
policy, national defense and peace. *
This set of principle* could be written on a post-card, all right
