Dewey Speaks On Foreign Policy Asks U. S. Aclion Now On Formosa OTTAWA. Aug. 23 (INS Governor Thomas E.

Dewey called on the United Spates today to take the problem of Formosa to the United Nations at once, without waiting for "rastastrophc.s to happen." Dewey, speaking before an Ottawa audience that included leading Canadian officials, warned that a Communist offensive against the Nationalist bastion could divide the lree peoples unless they reach agreement ii advance. The Republican leader suggested that the fate of the former Japanese controlled island might be put up to a pegce treaty confer ence instead of the United Nations. Warning that the Russians have prepared weapons for splitting the democratic front. Dewey declared: Biggest Weapon "Formosa is one of the biggest weapons in that arsenal and it should be our common purpose to blunt, and destroy that weapon. "We must stop waiting for catastrophes to happen and then rushing into the United Nations and to our own inadequate defenses, else wo shall not live through many more crises.

"We should not wait until For mosa is attacked and then find out whether we are united or divided. We should forthwith take the problem of Formosa before the United Nations or to the Peace Treaty Councils and find out where the free world stands." Dewey Dointed out that Great Britain's and India's formal reeog nition of the Chinese Communist government imply recognition of the Communist claim to Formosa. Marriage Licenses Thomas R.

Elder said that while the Russians supplied the North Ko reans with the best of caterpillar type of mobile equipment, American military leaders did not allot South Koreans sufficient equipment of this type jo permit even a moderate draf nse setup in the event of aggression. The Americans pulled out of Korea before they had given the South Koreans adequate training to convert th -in into efficient, soldiers, according to Col Elder.

But North Koreans received intensive combat training in tactical manuvers and became better soldiers, according to Col. Elder. Col. Elder asserted that as early as 1917 it was apparent to American Army officers that the Russians were training: North Korean soldiers for future aggression against SWlith Korea. He added that the American hih command had ample warning of conditions which might develop.

Ballots Needed As Much As Bullets (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) spread us thin everywhere and to dissipate our natural resources and our wealth is apparent to everybody except, our Washington masters. "Even before we reached this darkest hour in America's history, the mis-management, the corruption and the waste of the Democratic administrations which have controlled this nation's affairs since 1033 had resulted in the largest debt in his- today. They imposed on us the highest taxes in history," he charged.

"They produced the most dan gerous lack of public confidence that any Washington regime has ever provoked. They brought about a world-wide doubt as to the ability of the United States to measure up to the responsibility of keeping alive the torch of liberty and of preserv ing the light of Christian civiliza tion." Mr. Millis said "this same cancer of corruption and Socialist tyranny also extends down to the levels of state government, and with the same tragic results." "Economical, efficient Republican administrations must be re-estab- lishers in our townships, in our coun ties, and at the state house, as well as in Washington," the speaker continued.
