In so warmly espousing the doc- lrluc of pat-ilism in his bus An- lzclcs speech on ll.'etlncstlziy. the distinguished former ctimmauiler accurately predicted that such doubts would recur and that his counsel would be rejected as that of a visionary by many who heard or read his words.

He thought that the "failure to sustain our solemn commitments in Ko- read" (by such measures as the bombing of Maiicburla and use of Chinese Nationalist troops), would mean the loss of Asia and Africa. ”Nnl since the early days of the Republic," he said. "has our ne- tlon been so reduced in the uni- versal esteem,”

But after this lapse of limb and some political vicissitudes. the General has come to believe that a mere proclamation by the Uni- ted States of its readiness to abol- ish war would produce a "mag- lcnl" result.

oaiiies are supposed to be play- ed accordiiig to rules. Rules are contained in a rule book. Un- iortuuateiy. it generally happens that the rule book is misplaced and cannot be consulted. There- .t2re a game has to be played not according to the rules. but ac- cording to what the players re- member about the rules. Memory ui what the rules are is seldom the same. Even if a rule book is available it gives a choice (ll rules. Thus. before a game lio- gins. players must decide which rules they are to follow. Then not long after a game has begun, one player will charge another with following a rule which they had agreed to discard. To this the other player will retort that the rule he is using in not the one that was to have been discarded. but one they agreed to play by. This will bring on an acrlmonioul debate. The person who lose: the debate will continue to persist that the rule was changed in the mid- dle of the game. He will declare that naturally be can never won when an opponent changes the rules to suit himself. Sometimes there is uncertainty how a rule is to be interpreted because it is dated so obscurely. So a decis- ion on the interpretation will have to be made. Then the person who loses the decision can plead it was not his bad playing that lost the game but rather the interprete

lion of the rules. An ideal situa- tion would be one in which the rule book has not been lost there are no alternative ruler. all the rules are intelligible and all the player: agree to them.
