MAX CAMPBELL Editor thy ..im... vm.n rt: Entered as second class natter November 15, 1934, at Post Office it Hertford, North Carolina, un der the Act of March, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES 2.00 Per Year Advertising rates famished by request FREDIAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1953 Seventh Fleet And Formosa The recent announcement by Presi dent Eisenhower that the Seventh Fleet would no longer prevent attacks on the Chinese mainland caused con- siderable excitement in lAsian capi tals. The Nationalist Chinese repre sentative at the United Nations. Or. T. F. Tsiang, immediately .warned that the lifting of the ban -would not mean an immediate invasion by National troops. U. S. political leaders generally ex pressed approval of the move, al though the report of it "caused some anxiety in Great Britain and several other countries. The most encourag ing reaction came from Formosa, it self, the only considerable land area left under Nationalist control. A Nationalist spokesman there, who preferred not to be named, listed sev eral important results, which could result from such an order: (1) The reimposition of ithe Nationalist air sea blockade on the Chinese coast. (2) A stepped-up tempo of commando raids and air attacks on that same coast. (3) A resumption of supply ser vice to guerillas and agents in China. (4) A possible relaxation of Chinese pressure in Korea as a result of heav ier security measures which, would be required along many hundreds of miles of Chinese coast. It is assumed that the Seventh Fleet might maintain its protective role concerning Formosa, even if giv ing up the responsibility of prevent ive Nationalist attacks against the Chinese mainland. Such a policy has many advantages which outweigh pos sible disadvantages. ' . About the only thing the Com munists respect, either in China or Russia, is force. A blockade, the threat of commando raids, and en couragement to guerillas on the 'Chi nese mainland, are all arguments the Communist mind understands. Dislike Of Americans Abroad An important conference was re cently held in Paris, with officers of the Army, Navy and Air Force par ticipating. The purpose was to study ways to reduce the growing amount of dislike of American soldiers and other armed forces personnel in Europe. The conference was one of a series, which has been held at the instiga tion of General Thomas T. Handy, deputy United States Commander in Europe,' who seeks solutions for the unpopularity problem. One of the reasons for this grow ing unpopularity is the high living standard of U. IS. armed services per sonnel abroad. Even the lower ranks in U. S. service receive" enough dol lars to easily outdo their native com petition in the pursuit of female com pany and ' this is naturally resented, in many instances. There has also been the problem, at some times in the past, of the bois terous nature of many Americans when they find themselves three thousand miles from home. Their con duct in such a faraway theater Is of ten not what it would be were they in their own home town or state. ihen, there are the irritation which cannot be helped, such as noise creat ed Dy warpianes and military trucks, sharp srice increased in tnwna urfcaw U. S. troops are stationed and the aesirucuon or roads by heavy U. . equipment weighing more than the small European roads were designed to carry. The studies going on, in an effort to ease the growing tension, are vitally Important Although libera tion and wartimi occupation is one thing, large numbers of U. IS. troops occupying foreign countries in peace time present different problems. These problems have become so serious that every effort must be made to find a -solution and prevent a serious breakdown in relations.
