SENATOR |M ERVIN I SAYS ,v j IL, put Intk, President ?made tlit- recommenda I Congress Mtkoriu [] tite Armed Forces Ed Stales as in- deems Li the specific purposi Lnd protecting Formosa I armed attack" at the L Chinese Communists. I recommendation has lich anxiety throughout [Slates, it does not rep [ drastic change in the ki our country has pur pect to Formosa since when the Korean war the Seventh Fleet was defend Formosa from fusion front the ntain lina. It merely gives e Communist express t the United States will 0,000 Chinese National o defend Formosa in they attempt to take force of arms. : - ? w??? 1111II l ,'irvnns i Resolution was intro ic Senate, il was re joint meeting of the mittecs on Armed Ser 'oreign Relations. As if the Armed Services 1 necessarily attended ; of the two C'ommit octupied a substantial three days and heard puts of Secretary of Foster Dulles, and ry and naval experts, ital Interest se statements related itial security and were sed sessions. 1 am not > disclose them in de free to say however, ?crctary of State and ry and naval experts le contention of Presi jwer that the retention I of Formosa 111 friendly hands "is essential to the vital interests of the United States and all friendly nations in or bordering upon the Pacific Ocean." After hearing the statements of the Secretary of State and these military and naval experts, the members of the Committee on Armed Serviees and Foreign Re lations voted 27 to 2 to report the Resolution to the Senate with a recommendation that it be adopted by the Senate. Meanwhile, the House of Representatives had pass ed the Resolution by a vote of 400 to 3. iirasoname course Having been one of the 27 Com mitteemen recommending favor able action thereon, 1 voted for the Resolution on the floor of the Senate. In view of the statements of the military and naval experts, 1 see no other reasonable course to pursue. Had Congress rejected the Resolution requested by the President its action would have been tantamount to an invitation to the Chinese Communists to take Formosa. whose retention in friendl.s hands is essential to the defense of Japan, the Philippines, and the American positions in the Pacific. To Preserve Liberty Americans must not stick their heads into the sand like ostriches and ignore the fact that the Com munist nations are bent on en slaving the woi Id. We would do well to heed the advice which Oliver Cromwell gave to his regi ment on October 23. 1642 when it was about to cross a stream near Edgehill. England, to attbck the enemy. He said: "Put your trust fi God, my boys, and keep your powder dry." If we are to preserve liberty, we must be ready at all times to fight for it.

Looking back. Mrs. Bonnet says one of her most embarrassing ex periences came when she and her husband entertained the wrong couple at a very fancy luncheon. It was to be in honor of a man and his wife who had just returned ? from a visit to Paris, where they had made some kind of good-will gesture toward France. Mrs. Bonnet, making conversa tion began "Now when you were in Paris . . . "The man looked at his hostess with surprise. "Why, Madame." he said. "I was never in Paris." It took hours for Mrs. Bonnet to find out what had happened and just who this couple was. There had been a similarity in names. Later the-"right" couple was invited to another luncheon. The "wrong" couple and the Bon nets became friends, but the poor man and his wife never did find out why they had been so singularly honored.
