...traditional G.O.P. Lincoln's Day dinners, House Minority Leader Joseph Martin once again plugger for a favorite cause of the Republican Old Guard--more military aid for Chiang Kai-shek. Martin argued that Chiang would open a second front on the Chinese mainland if the United States supplied him with planes, tanks, trucks, ships, and ammunition. This country should have learned by now that arms and reaction can't win the loyalty of the Chinese people. Beyond this, it is also a stupid business to force a ruler upon a country whose people have already rejected...
Since August, when a picture of General MacArthur kissing the gloved hand of Mme. Chiang Kai-shek was published in Paris, France has been agitated over the problem: Should a gentleman kiss a gloved hand?

His weakness could succeed only...

Could they not guarantee the territorial integrity of his island for now, and for the years to come in return for these concessions? First, that Chiang Kai-Shek agree to consider himself ruler of Formosa, and only Formosa, giving up all his dreams to stage a comeback on the continent. (In view of the thoroughness with which he was hustled off the Chinese mainland by the Communists these dreams are somewhat fantastic.) And second, that he agree to use his troops...
