Though it might be in a minority, there is existent a vociferous body of opinion in America, today which demands that the United States gives all-out assistance by the use of man- power and 'weapons to the Nationalists-in Formosa, Mr Herbert Hoover, whose - voice still attracts, considerable respect In the country, fa the Intest advocate, of American defence for Formosa against
