Dulles has planned Pacific security with four stout walls: the peace with Japan; a defense arrangement allowing U.S. garrisons in Japan until that country can defend itself; a mutual defense pact with the Philippines; a similar pact with Australia and New Zealand.

Heading for the midseason turning point this week, the Chicago pitching gave...
