President Eisenhower has an-
nounced a change of policy in ti;e
Far East. The U.S. navy is no
longer to prevent the Nationalist
forees of Chiang Kai-shek on
Formosa from invading the
Chinese mainland. From the
Washington point of view this will
draw Red China's attention from
Korea and hasten a peace agree-
ment The British vieW is that
the new move may bring on a
general war between Red China
and the United States and her
allies, and possibly a third World
war. Much depends upon what
Russia thinks of , the -new U.S:
policy. At any rat:e, while Con-
gress roared approval of thd Eisen-

isters were approliensive.
