Journey to the far Pacific

---

IN THE SPRING of 1951 Europe was covered with a surface calm, while five wars and revolutions raged in the Pacific. In addition to Korea, Communist attacks were being wagedrnrnagainst Indo-China, the Philippines, Malaya, and Indonesia. Here at home the great debate on sending troops to Europe was over. It was one of the bitterest since the Civil War, split- ting both parties. For more than six months I had taken an active part in the struggle to defeat the efforts of a group in the United States Senate to throttle the program for collective defense of the North Atlantic Treaty nations. Anticipating the crisis, I had revisited the countries of Europe in 1949, to see for myself the conditions upon which so much of our future existence depended. Now I was tempted to go back again to study the progress of the intervening two years; but a newer and graver crisis was rising in the Pacific.
