Would US Abandon Far
In Event Of A War?
NEW THEORY GAINING
ADHERENTS
New York, May 9.-An increasing amount of attention is being paid in this country to the theory that in "abandoning nationalist China” the United States may also have to "abandon" the whole Far East in the event of war.
.1
A number of Filipino officials here and in Manila have expressed the fear that U.S. policy planners are giving up the idea of defending islands such as the Philippines, Japan and Formosa if war comes via a Communist-run China. These fears have also been expressed by several American editorial- ists.
Some learned thinking along the lines was set forth in the April issue of T'World Politica," a quarterly journal published at Yale University. Two close students of China, Nathan Leites and David Nelson Rowe, suggested that there is still time to save South China, without which it would be at least uneconomic and per- hape impossible to hold the rest of East Asia.
