- The Washington Notebook
b BY PETER EDSON
i NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.— (NEA) —Without getting too
involved in either the Truman or the anti-admin
istration policies on what should be done about
supporting the Chinese Nationalist trcops on For
mosa, someone in authority around here should ex
plain what it's going to cost. This is in line with
Senator Robert A. Taft’s statement that the United
States should do more than it can affford.
Can the United States afford to save Chiang Kai
shek’s government and armies, or can it afford not
to support them fully, perhaps for an indefinite
period?
Aid to the South Korean government between
V-J Day and the North Korean attack totaled
nearly S7OO million. This does not include the cost
of the war, which will run at least a billion dollars
a year if not more. Assuming an eventual United
Nations victory, the cost of reconstruction will be
half a billion dollars or more.
First three vears of Marshall Plan aid to 17 Eu
ropean countries has cost sll billion. Military as
gistance programs so far appropriated for add $6
billion to that. The average is about a billion- dol
lars per country over three years; though Britain
is getting over $3 billion aid, France over $2 bil
lion, Italy, West Germany and the Netherlands over
a billion apiece.
Now ccmpare these outlays with the China pro
grams. The amount of wartime aid to the Chiang
Kai-shek government is disputed but has been put
as high as two billion dollars. This built up the
Nationalist armies to nearly 40 divisions and eight
fir groups.
ANOTHLR BILLION TO CHIANG
AFTER V-J DAY
But leaving that out of the picture, another bil
lion of military aid was furnished after V-J Day.
This includes $694 million post-lend lease aid, sl7
million more direct military aid, anothér $125 mil
lion military 2id under the 1948 act, transfer of
sl4l million worth of naval craft and $122 million
in excess military stores.
Exact amounts of 1950 Military Defense Assist
ance Pact aid furnished China are classified, be
vond one transfer of $lO million worth of ammu
nition. Some £SOO million worth of aid have been
earmarked for the Southeast Asia area. The Chi
nese on Formosa may have been given upwards of
SSO million of this amount.
Another S7O million worth of such aid will be
asked for next year, according to Deputy Secre
tary of Dcfense Robert A. Lovett. But this is now
generally understood to be only a beginning.
Best informed guesses are that it will take up to
$250 million to put the Nationalist Arnry in shape to
delend Formosa. This will be done under the U. S.
military mission headed by Major General W. C.
Chase.
Nationalist military manpower on Formosa is put
at a maximum of 600,000. They are divided roughly
into 100,000 Air Force, 50,000 Navy, 50,000 service
troops and 400,000 Army. Of the Army, less than
100,000 are fully equipped and ready to fight.
To support these forces “even in their present
state of unpreparedness takes the eguivalent of from
130 million to 175 million U. S. dollars, or over 85
percent of the Nationalist government budget.
There are no accurate figures on this budget be
cause the Taiwan (Formosan) dollar has fluctuated
from 11 to 18 to the U. S. dollar.
1951 BUDGET TOTALS S2OO MILLION
A rough equivalent of Nationalist budget ex
penses for this year is said to be 200 miliion U. S.
dollars at present exchange rates. The Nationalist
budget deficit was equal to 20 million U. S. dollars
in 1949, but is now said to be only one million U. S.
dollars a month,
Tases take 30 percent of the island’s income.
Fiscal experts say they can't be increased. Part of
the government revenue is raised by lottery. The
S3OO million worth of gold bullion supposedly taken
to Formosa is about all gone, What's left backs up
currency.
The greater the military aid to Formosa, the
greater the economic aid will have to be. When
tanks are sent to defend the island better roads and
heavier bridges will have to be built. More naval
and aircraft will require bigger ports and landing
fields. More food, clothing and medical supplies
will have to be furnished.
What all this seems to add up to is that Formosa
is as nearly broke as a nation can be. And it has no
credit on which to borrow. There seems to be no
other out than for the United States to finance this
enterprise for the indefinite future. And if by an
other revolution, echance or military conquest, the
Nationalists should be returned to power on the
mainland, the costs of reconstruction will be stag
gering. These facts might as well be faced.
Republicans in the Senate are now trying to sep
arate the Hawaii and Alaska statehood bills. The
open argument is that' Hawaii is ready for state
hood, nd Alaska is not. Behind the scenes, how
ever, the reason is that the GOP would expect Ha
waii to elect Republican congressmen and senators,
while Alaska would probably go Democratic.

We Might Well Emulats Soviet
Patience and Purposelulness
In his struggle to conquer the free world, the
Russian Communist exhibits two special qualities
that we cannot afford to treat lightly. One is stead
fastness of purpose and the other is patience,
No one who has studied the Russians closely has
any doubt of their unwavering determination to
spread Red slavery to every corner of the globe.
The experts on the Soviet Union are agreed that
the Kremlin nrakes no move—either backward or
forward—which is not related to that purpose.
Often you hear it said that Stalin and his Polit
buro colleagues are “opportunistic,” as if to suggest
that they did not have a fixed goal but changed
their objectives as circumstances dictated.
The record of Soviet history supports the notion
that the Kremlin is indeed opportunistic. But that
opportunism does not affect Moscow’s fundamental
purpose. It is concerned rather with strategy, with
method and timing.
This 'is a hard lesson for the free world to learn
and have stick. Men of good will cannot help
thinking “maybe they mean it” when the Russians
propose some new peace parley or suggest a com
promise. Sometimes they do mean it, but not for
the reasons they give. Whatever they do, it is a
tactic in an endless war on many fronts.
Communist patience is a corollary of this stead
fastness. The Red leaders do not believe that they
must advance regularly in all places. They stoically
accept defeat at times, confident that it is tempor
ary, Devices which do not work are scrapped with
out evident embarrassment. Political withdrawals
are executed without the slightest thought that
their causé is lost.
The Russians firmly believe time is on their side,
that no reverse can more than briefly halt the
march of events toward a Communist conquest of
the earth. They are willing to wait years if neces
sary to aciheve a single part of their overall ob
jective.
Americans and their allies will be compelled to
emulate Communist patience and steadfastness if
they expect to stand off the Russian drive for con
quest.
We in this country particularly will not find this
easy. We are impatient people. We like to see events
through to quick decisions, and then move on to
something else, General Ridgway took note of this
trait the other day in the Far East when he said,
“The danger for our people above every other peo
ple is impatience.”
Right now many of us are upset at the apparent
indecisiveness of the UN campaign in Korea, This
has indeed been a savage and costly fight and no
sane American wants to see it last one day longer
than it must to achieve the aims for which we be
gan it. But we have to nrake sure that those goals
are realized, that we do not end the war just to end
it. If we do that, we will have yielded to the greater
patience and purposefulness of the Communist
enemy.
By the same token, we must exhibit an unflinch
ing resolve to attain our broad objectives of pre
serving freedom and promoting welfare among
non-Communist peoples. We cannot wax and wane
with the wind. That is our tendency.
Unless we can avoid these wide emotional swings
from happy abandon to gloom, we had better begin
asking ourselves whether we Americans have what
it takes to wage the long, painful struggle against
Russian communiism which now confronts us.
.
Rotation Boosts Morale
When 1,500 Korea veterans arrived*home in Am
erica the other day, it marked formal start of the
Army’s long-awaited rotation plan.
Under this program, G. I’s who have served ex
tensively in Korean combat can look forward to
relief. They are not on an endless muddy treadmill
any more. They may earnestly entertain hopes of
seeing home and family after doing their grim duty
for an allotted tinre,
The plan reflects bitter Army experience in
World War 11. In that conflict the burden of com
bat duty fell too heavily on a relatively limited
number of veteran divisions. Over and over they
churned their way forward, sustaining frequently
heavy losses and finding little relief, This was dam
aging to Army morale and perhaps even a real
handicap to military strategy as well.
The rotation principle represents an honest effort
to meet the problem. Every American concerned
with his country’s security and the future of its
youth must wish for its complete success.
The Federal Trade Commission is taking steps to
get “Made in Occupied Japan” labels out in the
open. With a flood of Japanese exports to U. S.
building up, opposition of American manufacturers
of competing goods is increasing. From a govern
ment standpoint, this is good as it enables Japan to
earn more dollars to pay for needed imports. This
takes the burden of supporting Japan off th¢ Am
erican taxpayer. But enterprising Japanese manu
facturers and Anrerican importers have been as
sembling their products so that the “Made in Oc
cupied Japan” label required by law is hard to find.
Formal complaints have been filed against mechan
ical pencil makers who put labels on the inside,
where they cannot be seen by unsuspecting buyers.
We face a curious condition in Washington, in
which a national emergency has been declared and
a gigantic program has been initiated. Yet, there is
no feeling of emergency, except perhaps against
crooks and gamblers. — Senator Robert A. Taft
(R.-Ohio).
