Reischauer Raps MacArthur Policy

General MacArthur's proposed policy would not fulfill its promise of victory in Korea, Edwin O. Reischauer, professor of Far Eastern Languages, told an Adams House forum last night. The general's plans, he said, would only lead us into a long and unprofitable war with Red China.

This view was upheld by Professor of Medieval History C. H. Taylor, while Donald C. Williams, professor of Philosophy, declared himself on favor of MacArthur's proposal to blockade China. All three speakers agreed against our using Chiang Kai-Shek's Formosan forces.

Europe, not Asia, is our main strategic stronghold, Taylor and Reischauer both maintained. By committing ourselves further in Asia, they said, we would be abandoning our allies in Europe.

Reischauer claimed, that China has as much to lose in the Korean war as we have, and that she sent her forces in only because she believed her mainland threatened.

Taylor opposed an invasion of Manchuria and the bombing of Chinese mainland supply bases, as advocated by MacArthur. Such action, he declared, would gradually involve us in a full scale was with "the wrong enemy on the wrong battlefield."

"We will need most of the world on our side in the event of a global war," Reischauer said. He criticized MacArthur's policies for alienating our allies in the United Nations
