Having decided to suspend shelling “for humanitarian reasons,” they may they will be humanitarian and peaceful for one week. It is not easy to evaluate that statement.” % One thing we do know is ‘that the Chinese Reds have no humanitarian instincts. They acknowledge having killed two The Communist military leaders on the mainland have now realized this. the Since they need time to replenish their ammunition and to rebuild the gun emplacements damaged by Chinese Na- tionalist return fire from Quemoy, they announced a seven-day truce ‘‘for: humanitarian reasons.” Those who ‘oppose the successful Eisenhower-Duiles policy of answering force with force are now taking a sec- ond look at the situation. They admit Communist failure to destroy the offshore Nationalists by .gunfire in their concentrated.‘six weeks effort. For a brief period the Reds are now trying to get by argument what they failed to get by shellfire. = Anthony Nutting, former British M: ister of State for foreign affairs, who has long wanted us to make concessions to Red China, now sums up the situation in theNew York Herald Trib- une in these words: ‘‘Having tried, and failed, to reduce Quemoy by military is resorting to; political maneuvering.” He still ‘wants us to for¢e Chiang to negotiate on his own with Communist China, the result of which could only, be complete surrender by the Nationalists. -And he wants us to abandon Chiang Kai-shek .because, as he says, the offshore islands would be “indefensible against a determined Communist onslaught.’’ The truth is ‘the Chinese Nationalists, with very little help from us, have al-. ready demonstrated that they could defend Quemoy against a determined onslaught by Chinese Commmunist forces. In the: air the Russian MIGs were shot down by an operation. They may get it but that lies in the future. It is possible the Chinese Reds will resume their futile bombardment of Quemoy. They may resume shelling as a matter of pres- indefinite time. Peiping such Quemoy for ,over six -weeks, now say proved that) Quemoy Mr. Kaltenborn and Matsu can be kept supplied for an bombardment, for Teasons.”” Mr. Dulles referred to this curious seven-day proposal in the statement he issued Tuesday on his return from a weekend vacation. He said: “The Chinese Communists, after having brutally and incessantly bombarded at- can protection and with our logistic co operation, have training little longer for the same ‘humanitarian easy victim of Red artillery and decide to suspend the use of force a elsewhere that Quemoy would be an China’s equipment. our Nationalist- piloted Sabrejets in a\ 15 to 1 ratio.

The Chi- mese Communist forces: lack proper million Chinese simply because they refused. to accept: and carry out precepts of Communist ideology. The truth is that at least 20 million Chinese died as a result of Communist maltreatment. The Reds now boast that even if 300 million Chinese were killed in an atomic war, there would still be 300 million left to conquer what remained of the anti-Communist world. Those who know Communists best as a result of personal contact do not trust them. It is the sentimental humanitarians .who know, nothing about Communist materialism who want to trust them and work with them.

He puts it this way, ‘Personally, I don’t trust any proposition made by the Communists. My off-thecuff thinking is that they are trying to drive a wedge into the good relations between. the UnitedStates and Free China.” 5 £ That estimate is undoubtedly correct. It accounts for Red China’s demand that we cease convoying Nationalist Chinese supply ships to Quemoy during the seven-day truce. We can. of course, dc this, provided we are ready to resume the convoys the moment shelling’ of Quemoy is resumed. Every American should stand solidly behind President Eisenhower in his decision that the attack on Quemoy js the beginning of an attack on Formosa, The Chinese Reds have linked Formosa and Quemoy in every statement they have issued.

Among I should like to make it clear first that ,everyone has blood pressure. This is the pressure which the flow of blood through the arteries exerts on the walls of those blood vessels. The amount of pressure so exerted is influenced by several factors, including the elasticity of the blood vessels themselves and the thrust of the heart as it beats. Most readers are familiar with the fact that the physician expresses the blood pressure in two sets of figures. One is the high level reached as the result of the contraction of the heart, and the other is the lower level the heart is relaxed. when The high level_is called the systolic pressure and the low is called the diastolic, , There is often significance not only in the figures of these two but in exactly what is the the difference ‘normal’ pressure for an individual at a particular age. However, there are certain figures which are generally recognized as being above or below the average. Another point which should be mentioned in this connection is that people who make their first visit to the physician are often recording may be deceiving, and physicians like to have several measurements taken at different times before reaching a conclu- — sion. There are thought to be at least 5,000,000 people in the United States whose blood pressures are consistently higher than they should be. It is these who are considered to have high blood’ pressure or hypertension. - There are few conditions which are being investigated with as much concentration as high blood pressure is today. . Several different varieties are ‘ pecognized. However, perhaps the- largest group afflicted has what is known as essential hypertension, the cause of which is unknown. ~ This does not mean that many people with high blood pressure cannot be given a great deal of help. At the present time’ many lines of attack are open and the number is constantly increasing. Some achieve the best results with a dietary regime which usually consists of foods low in salt content. Some do best under drug management. There are a num- ber of such drugs, both new and old. Another method of treatment consists of surgery and particularly the operation called sympathectomy. This treatment, which involves cutting certain nerves, is based on the intention of causing tiny blood vessels to relax and thus lower the blood pressure.
