treacherous. The fact Of the mat
ter is that there is no navigator,
there is no helmsman, and the
captain is not setting the course:
For the trouble is at the White
House in Washington, and only
Mr.. Truman can cure it. What
ever the United States can do
about the Soviet Union, the CONT

and Forrestral-the key men IN
foreign affairs-conferred win
him collectively about our rela-
tons with Russia, Britain, Chlna'
Germany, and Japan?
The daily diaries of the Presl-
dent and his four principal lieu
tenants would show effectively and
conclusively-I have no doubt
whatever-that each is caught in
a daily routine of appointments,
correspondence, telephone calls,
which prevents any one OF them
from bringing an unhurrled ana
fresh mind to bear upon the great
questions. Down below in the de-
partments there are men who man.
age to find some time to think.
But at the top, while there is a
good deal of fret and worry. there
is really no time reserved for the
full consideration of high policy.
They are all much too busy with
everything but the main things.
The President alone can cure
this inner trouble of his admin
istration: this failure to think out
the great decisions because in
dividually the top men fritter
away their best energies, and col
lectively they do not really take
counsel together at all.
The President can cure it but
only by a drastic alteration of his
own habits of work. The foreign
relations of the government can
not be conducted by any President
and certainly not by one who
lacks background and experience
through spasmodic and hurried
contact with his departmental
chiefs separately and individually.
The cure is obvious. 1t is to insti-
tute a regular daily meeting, last
ing as long as may be necessary to
finish its business, of the Presi-
dent and his four chief Cabinet Of
ficers concerned with foreign af-
fairs, and to decide at that meet
inng, and no where else, all mill
tary, political, and economic ques-
tons of policy. That meeting
should be held every morning I'M
til the present developing crisis
has been mastered. It should have
priority for the President, the
Secretaries of State, Treasury
War, and Navy, over all other en-
gagements. There is nothing thai
they have to do, no matter who
telephones for an appointment
which compares in urgency anc
importance with their need to take
their decisions together.
Nothing less than this can begir
to cure the trouble-no amount Of

TODAY and TOMORROW
by WALTER LIPPMANN

when he became President of the
limited States. He is dissipatlng
and squandering that Influence
and is allowing that power to dis
integrate.
AS the President is now conduct
ing his administration, there is no
prospect whatever of his becoming
again as he was four months ago,
invested as few men in history
have ever been, with the oppor.
tunity to shape events because ne
was the leader Of mighty and
victorious people wanting above all
things a decent and lasting peace.
There is no prospect, as the Tru-
man administration is organized
and conducted today, of its recov-
ering the control of the situation.
Only a radical change in the in
ner working of the administration
can now prevent the situation
which is not under control from
becoming uncomfortable.
Mr.. Truman's trouble is that
neither he nor his chief Cabinet
officers, who conduct our foreign
relations, are devoting enough OF
their time, their energy, or their
minds to the great issues.
They are all very busy men. But
they are too busy to think seri-
ously and constructively about the
great decisions on which hang the
vital interests of their country and
the fate of nations.
If this seems astonishing and I'm.
likely, let some energetic reporter
collate the facts on these two
points: in the past 80 days how
many hours out of each day has
the President devoted to little 15-
minute interviews and conferences
with a vast assortment of people?
How often and for how long has ne
conferred with his Cabinet, how
often and for how long have Mes.

Museum Sho,os Unique
Curios From Islands
Of South Sea Area

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 21.-WG-
The University Of Nebraska State
Museum, famous for its collection
of prehistoric fossils, has opened
a different sort Of display - 15o
rare items from the South Sea
Islands.
The shark-tooth spears, wooden
hair combs, grass skirts and other
curios were collected more than ~
wears ago, DR.. C. B. Schultz, direc-
tor. said. At the time L. w. Osborn,
father of the donor, gathered the
items. the islands were not yet IN
f1uenced by white tourists and
traders.
Returning South Pacific veter-
ans may be familiar with the is
lands from which the collection
came-Tarawa, Ellis, Samoa, the
Gilberts, the Marshalls and the
Philippines-but they probably will
not have see inthe curios, Schultz
said. r.
The Polynesian display includes
grass mats of such intricate design
that two years were spent in max
ing them. Bark cloth pounded and
rolled to paper thinness and dyed
with native materials is another
prize.
Other unusual items are neck
laces made of shells so tiny 80 can
be put in a teaspoon; brilliantly
colored grass skirts and fans; war
clubs, and a heavy breast-plate,
the natives idea of protection from
spears and arrows.
