Army Secretary Willier Bruckcr this week carried another step forward the cvulutioil of V.

S. policy in the Kornmsa area when he declared that the would act to stop Communist aggression against any of Nationalist China's territory including the yui nioy and Matsu Islands. It was a forthright statement of a U.S. attitude which has been developing steadily in the last the collapse of Nationalist Chinese armies on the mainland in IIHH and has witnessed a total turnabout of U.S. policy.

In lli.KI. President Truman declared the U. S. "has no desire to establish military buses on Formosa at this time" and will "not pursue a course" involving it in China's civil war. In that same year.

It is possible that Hiuiker's statement ut this particular time is a part of the pre summit jixk-eying taking place as both the United Slates and Russia seek to place themselves in the most advantageous iosition at the conference table.

In this category may lie placed President Eisenhower's announcement removing the ban on further U. S. nuclear tests.
