. China Ship Blockade
May Pit U. S. Against
Britain, Grew Says
An American blockade of the
China coast could result in Amer
ican ships firing on British vessels,
thus endangering the North At
lantic Alliance, Joseph C. Grew,
former Under Secretary of State,
said here today.
Mr. Grew, also ex-Ambassador
to NJapan, addressed a luncheon
meeting of the National Council
of the Atlantic Union Committee
at the Shoreham Hotel.
“Suppose we established a
blockade,” Mr. Grew said, "and
. some free-wheeling captain of a
British merchant vessel decided to
run it. Our Navy would be acting
under orders to stop such vessels.”
Mr. Grew said the weakening
of the Atlantic pact and the de
struction of Anglo-American rela
tions are main objectives of the
Russians. He added that the
British control the majority of air
i bases needed to defend Western
Europe and the United States.
TVTav Snrrifirp Rasps.
“Should we sacrifice these bases
in the west to blockade Red China
in the east?” he asked. This ques
tion is typical of the kind of prob
lems American foreign policy
planners face every day, he said.
“Under these circumstances was
it not wiser to work through the
U. N. for an embargo on trade
with Red China, in which all our
allies could voluntarily join?” he
asked.
Mr. Grew advocated an Atlantic
; Union, a federation of the democ
racies to which each member na
tion would delegate powers. He
suggested that the power should
I be delegated first in the areas
of foreign policy and defense,
i The former undersecretary said
an Atlantic defense department
under such a union would greatly
■ strengthen Gen. Eisenhower’s
ability to take immediate action
: if he felt it necessary to bomb
behind the iron curtain.
Fears Political Divergence.
“If the Atlantic democracies had
a single department of defense it
would make no difference if a
French cabinet fell .. .,” Mr. Grew
continued. “But without any Fed
eral authority to reconcile differ
ences . . . political divergence can
lead to anarchy.”
"I am for Atlantic union be
cause it is the antithesis of an
archy,” Mr. Grew said. “I am less
afraid of losing sovereignty
through union, than of losing
peace and freedom through inter
national anarchy.”
The 100 members of the com
mittee attending the session were
welcomed this morning by former
Supreme Court Justice Owen J.
Roberts.
Will L. Clayton, former Under
secretary of State and vice presi
dent of the committee, presided
over the luncheon session.
Negative Policy Hit.
In his introductory speech, Mr.
Clayton warned that American
foreign policy must be right or the
results could be disastrous. He
added that the policies of the
democracies are weak today be
cause they are negative—“are
against something.”
Tomorrow’s speakers will include
Senator Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa, a member of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee;
Senator Kefauver, Democrat, of
Tennessee; former Representa
tive Wadsworth, Republican, of
New York: former Justice Rob
erts and Clarence K. Streit, lead
ing proponent of world federation.
At a Willard Hotel press con
ference yesterday. Mr. Clayton
said the Iranian oil dispute might
■ explode tomorrow into a crisis
that could start a third world war.
