Kennedy Views On
Quemoy as “Fantastic”
WASHINGTON, (IP) —A Repub
lican publication yesterday quoted
Adm. Arthur W. Radford as say
ing Sen. John Kennedy’s views
on defense of the Chinese off
shore islands “could certainly
start a war if they are believed
by the Red Chinese.”
Kennedy says the little islands
of Quemoy and Matsu cannot be
defended and that defense lines
should be drawn around the is
land of Formosa.
Radford, former chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was
quoted by the Republican Con
gressional Committee Weekly
Newsletter as saying Kennedy’s
remarks were “so fantastic I can
scarcely believe they were made.”
“We are being watched by the
whole of free Asia. If we were to
back down on the defense of Que
moy and Matsu, we would lose
those nations,” it quoted Radford.

When Will Final
Tantrum Come?
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
Accusing 54 United Nations
members of taking steps toward
war, Soviet Premier Khrushchev
sounds more and more like Adolf
Hitler of 1938, accusing every
body else while making his own
dangerous plans.
Hitler, too, while negotiating
with the Soviet Union over divi
sion of the spoils of war which
they both planned, was saying
that he wanted nothing from
other countries.
Hitler, too, when thwarted in
anything, would fly into tantrums.
Hitler, too, thought that the
fates of small nations should be
negotiated by the big powers at
the summit.
Hitler, too, thought it was all
right to take over small nations
for his own purposes, at gun
point, as the Soviet Union did in
Eastern Europe after World War
II, and as she has just barely been
prevented from doing in the
Congo.
There is every reason to ask.
does Khrushchev become more
and more dangerous the more he
is defeated?
His diplomatic record over the
past few weeks has been a miser
able one.
Beginning with the ouster of his
forces from the Congo, he has lost
at every turn in the United Na
tions. He thought he could turn
African hatred of old-time West
ern colonialism into support of
Communist anti-Westerism. All
he got is a demonstration that
most of the new nations under
stand Soviet colonialism, too.
His trip has been a flop, and
his demeanor one of hypocrisy.
The danger of a developing be
lief in Moscow that the Commun
ists can win a war has been dis
cussed before in this column. Mr.
Khrushchev has now repeated
that belief. “We are not afraid of
war.” It would be rough, says the
premier of the Soviet Union, but
we can take it.
If -he really means that, then
a great part of the deterrent ef
fect of free world defense policy
has been lost.
The rest of the world takes the
attitude that it is not afraid of
anything as it is of war, unless
it be subjugation through black
mail threat of war.
That latter appears to be what
Khrushchev is trying now. Side
with me, he says to the small
nations, or you will be caught in
the middle when the world blows
up.
And the world is wondering,
“What happens when a man of
such lack of restraint, continuing
to lose, goes into a final tan
trum?”
