Mr. President. I call attention to an observation or two by Stewart Alsop. for whose knowledge of Asiatic problems I have an exceedingly high respect. and in which I have great confidence. He says in the article: The extraordinary gravity of the decision which President Eisenhower has now taken is not yet fully appreciated in Congress or the country. The decision is. essentially. to bomb the Chinese mainland. if this is deemed necessary for the defense of the Nationalistheld islands of Quemoy and Matsu. I express. here and now. complete agreement with that observation by Stewart Alsop. I think the American people should recognize that that decision has been made and should take it into account as they come to pass judgment upon what is involved in the course of action upon which we are asked to embark under the joint resolution Alsop goes on to say: Bombing the Chinese mainland means. of course. war with China.
