Nations under its charter for the purpose of Ending the present hostilities in that area We vould welcome assumption of such jurisdiction by that body Meanwhile the situation has became sufficiently critical to impel me without awaiting action by the United Nations to ask the Congress to participate now by specific resolution in measures designed to Improve the prospects for prree to any concentration or employment of Chinese Communist forces obviously undertaken to facilitate attack upon Formosa and be prepared to take appropriate military action I do not suggest that the United States enlarge its defensive obligations beyond Formosa and the Pescadores as provided by the treaty now awaiting ratification BUT UNHAPPILY the danger of armed attack directed against that area compels us to take into account closely related localities and actions which under current conditions might determine the failure or the success of such an attack The authority that may be accorded by the Congress would be used only in situations which are recognizable as parts of or definite preliminaries to an attack against the main positions of Formosa and the Pescadores Authority for some of the actions wihch might be required would be inherent in the authority of the Until ConTHESE MEASURES would can act I would not gress contemplate the use of the hesitate so far as my constituarmed forces of the United tional powers extend to take States if necessary to assure whatever emergency action the security of Formosa and might be forced upon us in the Pescadores order to protect the- - rights The actions that the United and security of the United States must be ready to unStates dertake are of various kinds However a suitable congresFor example we must be sional resolution would ready to assist the Republic of clearly and publicly establish China to redeploy and consolithe authority of the President date its forces if it should so as commander-inchic- f to emdesire Some of these forces forces armed the of this ploy are scattered throughout the effecand ration promptly smaller offshore islands as a result of historical rather than tively for the purposes indicated If in his judgment it military reasons directly rebecame necessary lated to defending Formosa It would make clear the BECAUSE OF the air situand serious intenunified ation in the area withdrawals our government tions of for the purpose of redeployand our our Congress ment of Chinese Nationalist people forces would be Impractical without assistance of the Thus It will reduce the posarmed forces of the United sibility that the Chinese ComStates munists misjudging our firm Moreover we must be alert purpose and national unity " warning signals are flying I BELIEVE that the threatening aspects of the present situation if resolutely faced may be temporary in character consequently I recommend that the resolution expire as soon as the President is able to report to the Congress that the peace and security of the area are reasonably assured by international conditions resulting from United Nations action or otherwise Again 1 say that we would welcome action by the United Nations which might in fact bung an end to the active hostilities in the area This critical situation has hern created by the choice of the Chinese Communists not by us Their offensive military intent has been flaunted to the whole world by words ahd by deeds Just as they created the situation so they can end it if they so choose What we are now seeking is primarily to clarify present policy and to unite in its application We are not establishing a new policy Consequently my mendations do not call for an increase in the armed forces of the United States or any acceleration in military procurement or levels of defense production If any unforeseen emergency arises requiring any change I will communicate with Congress I hope however that the effect of an appropriation congressional resolution will be to calm the situation rather than to create further conflict ONE FINAL point The action I request is of course no substitute for the treaty with the republic of China which we have signed and which I have transmitted to the Senate Indeed present circumstances make it more than ever important that this basic agreement should be promptly brought into force as a solemn evidence of our determination to stand fast In the agreed treaty area and to thwart all attacks directed against it If delay should make us appear indecisive In their basic respect the pres- sures and dSngeri - would surely mount Our purpose is peace That cause will be served if with your help we demonstrate our unity and our determination In all that we do we shall remain faithful to our obligations as a member of the United Nations to be ready to settle our international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security and Justice are not endangered For the reasons outlined in this message I respectfully request that the congress take appropriate action to carry out the recommendations contained herein Dwight D Eisenhower The White House 24 1955 )jr &M4 7’j Sq Thick of 4x7 of 4x1 tint quality Insulation on on ltd for Choir color paitel lovely or whit fir proof rot tf property yalu no pointing riitant Ndt -- 4c 1 2c n atr Wlbrd ft9 6Vie ft ht f board fotntad dcorotina tq ft ctrfutf tq ft til "I -1 Plastic Lamlnato Wallboord Ft Insulating typo Id ate If ft 7Pc SJlM 3Ei Assorted color and Factory remnant Ideal far furniture making pattern drain beard table topi etc Vk 36c Sq FtTilcboard Steel Wall Tile 45 lag q Ft Homart q Ft far kitchen hath Clearance 39C bondarliad baked an onamal Will recom- Jan " not crack tl tili with Cuihion adg Auortad or peal tolar Sq Ft Add glamour to your kitchen or bathl Homart tiloboard— Nw opon-ipaet- anptniivo tn toil lnpnlva In appearance m &h' Motor Operation 5788 Hmrt Mina anythlngl Dae big mixing Job aatiar and with lau effort Big 3 cu ft copodty drum amptia aatilyl lJi Sag Vi Hf Mofon JO-O- 115 ar 220 volt lay b Keep your home up ta 15 degree coaler in wmmer eava fuel in winter laty ta Initall lag cover 25 tq ft af g: 1 Reg ffefe Tank at 95-f- 139 13850 Jet Pump 6295 Mixer far Hand ar ' 29C ' Reg Pock Wool Pellets Ifr aantlina DatJgn 12483 Homart convertible holloX wall typal Convert ta deep wall pump If water lavef fall below 22-f- t 693 Cabinet sie l2Hs!IHi3ft4a a 544 White 14x20-lmirror In white enameled frame Two (halve and blade drop for rater blade largo n fi 1 1 e r l -- m u U v 'j O With good trim O mmi jq- Rigularly sails for 21950 O Chelca Homart of Colors bath ensemble Nothin Down I Veer t Pav an PHA In beautiful Harmony House colors -
