THE PERQUIMANS WEEEL1, HERTFORD. N.' . C FRIDAY FEBRUARY 23, 1951 PAGE THREE WASHINGTON PEWEY OPPOSES G. O. P. " ISOLATIONISM. . In his inaugural address, upon the , occasion of beginning his third term as Governor of New York, Thomas E. 'Dewey took issue with . the national .policy proposed. by former President Herbert Hoover and urged full mobili zation of the resources of the free world to resist Russian aggression. Mr. Hoover, it will be remembered, suggested that the United .States cur tail its commitments to help arm Eu ropean and Asiatic allies and that it .devote its full strength to the build ing up of American military and in- dustrial power so that ' the Western Hemisphere might become a "Gibral tar" against "SavLeft aggression. V , Sir. Dewey, on the other hand, ac cepted the premise that American pos session of the atomic bomb in greater . quantity that tjhe Russians was the factor that has kept the Soviet Union from starting, a full-scale, shooting war. He urged that the free nations rlt tTiA vnrM. lad IKv 'Hhe TTniitpd Statea. maintain a ring of "invulnerable bases i around the world," from which atomic bomlbs could be dispatched against Russia, if necessary. . The diverging opinions of Mr. Dew ; ey, twice defeated for the Presidency, and Mr. Hoover, the only living ex President, - illustrate 'the cleavage within the Republican Party upon mat ters of foreign policy. The New York Governor insisted that we swiftly unite the mighty forces of the free rarnrlA A tliaf "m ahaS Ka snnn ihn- lated and left to die." The New York Governor assumes the leadership of those of his party that favor a frank recognition of the . "one-world" theory of the late Wen dell Wfllkie. Once before, when the nation was somewhat undecided, Mr. Dewey proclaimed his belief in the es sential unity of this country and the British Commonwealth of nations and suggested an alliance between the Ensrliflh-spealdwr peoples. NOW COMES TALK OF REARMING JAPAN 1 t Less than six years ago, the Jap anese Government formally surrender- ' ed to the Allied powers. The United States, which bore the brunt of the war in the Pacific, was determined .that there would never arise a similar threat to the peace of the world. Hence, -the decision that the Japanese would be disarmed', and not permit ted to reaiim.v . Times change, however, and the threat to the security of democratic nations now comes' from Russia and the Communist nations,, not from the Germans. Japanese and Italians. Con seauently, facing the overwhelming military strenmltih of the Soviet Union, the United 'States has about decided not to impose any restrictions upon the rearmament of Japan. In fact, General MacArthur, in his New Year's message to the Japanese people, warn ed them that "if international lawless ness" continued, it will be the duty of the Japanese in concert with other nations, to mount' force to repel force." .".'"-v:v-?::7.:::. While forty-seven "countries declar ed war on Japan, 'the Far Eastern Commission has been restricted to the fourteen- that took a leading part. These include the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, France, China, Australia, Burma, 'Canada, India, the Netherlands, ' New. Zealand, Pakistan and the Philippines. At one .time, it was presumed that these associated powers would get to gether and agree upon the' terms of a peace treaty with Japan. , At the present (time, the United States has given up the idea of tout ing a general peace-conference and favors the conclusion of separate peace treaties between Japan and the fourteen nations concerned. One rea son for this decision is the question about Chinese representation. The United States is insistent that the Nationalist Government represent the Chinese people but some of the other nations believe that the Communist Government should be permitted to take a place in the negotiations as the actual representatives of the Chinese people. , .; Generally, the 'terms of the treaties are expected to be rather simple. While , restricting the .territory of Ja pan to the four home islands, there would be no attempt to determine the ultimate disposition of territories tak en away from Japan. Other compli cated questions, such as fisheries and commercial arrangements, would be left open for further negotiations. With the possible exception of Korea, which has been promised independence, tile treaties would permit Japanese territories to continue in 'their pres ent status. ' " RECORD OF THE 81ST CONGRESS The Eighty-First Congress, which came to an end this month, took im portant action in connection with foreign affairs and nassed some worthwhile legislation affecting do mestic matters. The North Atlantic Treaty was rat ified by the Senate and both Houses supported the "Mutual Defense Assist ance Act of 1949. Moreover, winiie critical of economic aid to Europe, the Congress approved some eight billions for .the Marshall Plan. It also made a modest beginning on the Point Four Program of assistance to under-developed countries. ' On the domestic front, the outstand ing fact is that Congress authorized an outlay of some eighty billions of dollars, mostly for the nation's de fense. The Congress, however, fail ed to enact a Universal Service bill and it put no great curb on non-de fense spending. An excellent bill was the Housing Act of 1949 and another important action extended coverage and raised did age annuities unden the Social Security Program. Minimum wages were raised to seventy-ifive cents an hour and considerable pro gress m?.de along the lines of the Hoover Report for the organization of the government. THE SOVIET TO DISCUSS (WAR DEBT The Soviet Union has finally agreed to renew discussion of the $10,800,- 000,000 LendJLease aid account of the United States. Negotiations were be gun in 1945 but have never gotten anywhere. During World War II, the United States sent to the Soviet Union, under LendJLease, about $4,700,000,000 in aircraft, tanks, military motor vehicles mnnfWMVre'ywinnnrymr MVmnr nnnrrr 9666 or 6999' Hutnbers Turned Around? not wm you CHECK THE MiCTW FiRST Don't let a tricky memory give . you a wrong telephone number when quick look in the direc tory before calling will keep you straight; It just takes a few ' seconds to make sure and it will save you many a second call.

The most serious problem involved in the negotiations revolves around hundreds of naval and merchant ships lent to the Soviet Union during the war on the condition that they were "subject to recall." The Soviet Union still holds 31 small naval craft and 84 merchant ships in "operable condi tion." Many of the shps are Liberty vessels, transferred to Russia while this country was still short of sea transportation and increasing the pre war Russian fleet by about one-third. The dispatch of LendJLease assist ance to our allies during the war was not a strictly business arrangemen. The delivery of weapons, munitions and paraphernalia was inspired, in part, by the probaibiliftf that the use of the supplies by the ally would save American lives. There can be little doubt that this proved to be true. Smith 'Before 1 married, my wife made me promise to quit smoking. Jones And you kept your word ? Smith Yes.
