CONFUSION UNLIMITED
The naive and ill-advised trumpetings of Navy Secretary
Matthews and Gen. McArthur during the past week serve to
give us a forceful and tragic reminder of the confusion thatex-
ists in high places as the United States faces the most critical
period in the history of the world.
Secretary Matthews might be excused on the grounds that
he hadn't as yet learned his way around in Washington. Not
so McArthur.
Surely he has been in the Army long enough to know that
subordinate does not make policy statements without t h
e
knowledge of his commander. Imagine what "Dugout Doug"
would have done to one of his underlings, had the same thing
happened in Doug's imperial domain ! He should be glad that
the President let him off with a light slap.
