JAGETWO ? THE PEKQUIMANS WEEKLY. HERTFORD, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1955. "r :;3C:;:rt Washington 1 lemay And MaUn Wands The British View KnowUhd Center Of Tu(f . Dehio Boom For Johflspa ' ij Washington The-United States might veil have adopted a much more drnigerous Jine J a the , For mosa ajea with Secretary of State John Ffhter Dulles' two-edRed ex planation of mlr position concern ing the latsu and Quemoy islands. . Up ujltil the recent speech hy the Secretary, it nad l)een nssumed this country would not fight for arfy island in the Formosa area ex cent Formosa itself and the Pesca dores islands, just west of For mosa, formerly held hy Japan. .Bu.t now' that the country's poli ty in, the area includes an unclear position regarding the Quemoy anil Matsu islands, perhaps for reasons of possible negotiation advantages, or perhaps-as part, of a bluff, to help Chiang Kai-Shek keep these islands, a sarious threat of military action .is immediately brought into being. ; , , ' . .Unlike Formosa and the Pesca zdores,1 these islands (Quemoy and Matsu) are almost under the noses of the Communists on the main land, being something less than fifteen . miles from the nearest mainland point Quemoy is in strategic position as far as the port o Amoy is concerned, ' ' Matsu is in a similar location re garding the port of Foochow. Both islands are more than ,a hundred miles from Formosa. Thus would be far more difficult for the Chinese Nationalists to reinforce these two islands, in a major bat tie, than it would for the Chinese Reds. .- Quemoy is over one hundred miles due west from the Formosan west coast while Matsu is about the same distance from the north western tip of Formosa, in a north western direction. Military nbserv ers feel that the Communists will be able to take both of these islands pnee they build up sufficient forces, unless the United States goes all out to hold them,i.with air, naval and land forces, i ..' There seems to. pe little reason to believe the, -United States , w send land forces to defend thine key islands so clqse to the China mainland. What worries some stii n dents of foreign affairs is the fact 1 " that the U. S. position concerning the defense of these two strntegjr inlands is now hazy, and a Chinese Red occupation of them would therefore appear to be a major Communist victory over the Unit ed States. There is some thought that thr United States might eventually re sort to the use of land forces if necessary to hold Formosa. . But this is not a certainty nnd there are many military strategists who ' feel that we should never get into ' land fighting with the Chinese . again. They argue that we should use our superior air nnd naval forces to curb Communist aggros- I. fit.

Bonner and Senatorial representatives to oppose the pro posed changes in policy regarding thfc Soybean Grading Standards. The Congressional ' representatives reported they had strongly opposed this action and due to opposition lina and will save -the farmers of Perquimans County from a loss of approximately $85,000 annually.' It does not mean, Thompson pointed out,- that he grade changes on moisture, heat damage arid foreign contest will not be in the proposed sion. Land lighting Willi a nation of fiO0,OI)O,0(MI people would lie fool hardy, they say, and just what Russia wants. There are few observers .who think we will use ground forces to defend Quemoy and Matsu, main ly lwcau.se of the poor tactical po rtion wo would have to operate from in such an undertaking. Sec retary of Slate Dulles has said that we are not (ommitled to defend the slands hut he also said in the next breath that we might defend them! The British feel that putting up bluff over these two islands is unsound, that -the Rods will take them anyhow, that they are islands which should be under the control of the Chinese mainland govern ment, hy tradition, and that when the Communists take them by force t will appear to be a U. S. setback in the Vajr Fast. Minority Senate Leader William Knowland is finding out now that direct opposition to the While House, which he has so often ex hibited in the field of foreign poli cy, is paying .off dividends. The dividends are not welcomed hy Knowland, however, for they come in the form of rumblings and meetings of pro-Eisenhower Sena tors, some of whom are not satis fied with Knowland's leadership in the upper legislative body. Others in the pro-Ike group say they will continue to support Know land even though they think his foreign policy statements often ill timed. Another group, a sizeable one, is with Knowland in his differ ences with the White House. Tt is the first outward manifes tation of unrest among G.O.P.
