what would happen to fruit cake

the Presidents gift has not fallen
into the hands of a Republican. If
Republican handed each voter a

trouble carrying Georgia, even. 1t

ocrat, indeed, to vote for man who,
with all the worlds goods to choose

from a junk sale.
Not only has Mr.. Truman en-
barrassed the United States by
sending this thing. but he has en-
barrassed Elizabeth. She is going
to want to trade this thing in for
something else and will suffer loss Of
dignity when she goes into Harrods
and swaps it for a pair of 54-gauge
nylons. I will take that back. she
may be lucky to get pair of black

Suggests We Drop Lady Bountiful
Attitude in Giving Aid to Europe

don't care much for our morallzlng.
In fact, they resent it. They hate
their own role of charity patients,
even when we don't rub it in. And
they have difficulty In convincing
themselves that we are unique
among the people of the earth in
the matter of generosity. Those who
visit the United States are given
reason to feel that our generosity
doesn't cost us more than we can af-
ford. They see this as land with
a chicken in every pot and, If not two
cars in every garage, at least one
parked at the curb and another on
order at the dealers. Those who
don't get to the United States, read
about us in their papers or learn
from neighbors who have relatives
over here that no matter how much
we give we still have plenty left.
In any case, gratitude is not last
ing emotion among Europeans any
more than it is among ourselves. We
can't expect to build a new Ameri-
Icanized Europe on 1t.
President Earl Bunting of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacture
ers visits President Truman to tell
him we shouldn't help any country
that won't pledge itself to the NAM S
conception of free enterprise. Candi-
date Harold Stassen says we should
withhold assistance from any coun-
try that experiments any further
with socialism. Candidate Robert
Taft lectures Europe on "the un-
willingness of their own people to
work" And some American society
women propose in public letters that
we refuse Great Britain any assist
ance unless the American-born
Duchess of Windsor is invited to
Princess Elizabeth's wedding.
This is one of the things we need
not be confused about. 1t is pluper-
feet nonsense and we should get 1t
out of our system.

to their individual views. But they
judge from the results that he usu-
ally disregards their advice Occa-
sionally, Mr.. Truman attends a buf-
fet lunch at the Capitol, where
Senators of both parties get the
chance to greet him. This provides
a pleasant interlude in the cares OF
the day for all concerned, but il
mis- White House brain trust thinks
it takes the place of genuine liaisor
they are much mistaken.
Unsolved Problem.
Poker parties at the White House
"a useful personal touch-are now
rare and extremely restricted occa-
sions. Mr.. Truman is not so care
free as he was when it looked as il
peace would be the automatic solu-
ton to our problems. 1t is major
problem for any President to escape
both physically and spiritually from
the confining walls and the self
interested palace guard, which close
in on him at the White House. The
Rooseve1ts solved it by their very
gregariousness and a social life Or
ganized around the countless OBJ
jects of their interest.
Mr.. Truman hasn't solved it. Thus
when and if opposition crystallizes
to a single administrator for the
Marshall plan or to other of its
aspects, he may find his former SEN
atorial cronies singularly unwilling
to answer the call to the White
House colors.

on his former colleagues. Demo-
cratic Senators feel that he has not
only failed to maintain close liaiSon
with them but at times has seemed
deliberately to ignore them.
The charge also is made that some
members of his official family, nota-
bly those who have never been
elected to any office or carried a
precinct for any one else. are known
to hold Senators in low esteem. Un-
fortunately, they have not kept their
opinions secret and the cloakroom
gossip regarding them has been ex-
tremely acidulous.
Attitude Wondered At.
1t is not unusual for the great and
near great of the executive branch
to gaze loftily over the heads OF
Congress, but the Presidents atti-
tude is especially wondered at. Fol
10 years he was a member Of the
Senate and it is widely recalled that
he used to give vent to sulphurout
comment when the late Mr.. Roose-
welt failed to show what Senator
Truman thought was proper respect
for senatorial feeling.
Under the La Toilette -MonroneS
Reorganization Act, senatorial policy
committees were created to expedite
the Senate's work. These commit.
tees have functioned successfully

gotiating with the leader OF the
French resistance for possible COL
laboration. 1t was Mr.. Reynaud
who only last April described Gen
de Gaulle's attempt to project him
self into French politics as the
''pathetically naive effort of good
patriot who knows nothing about
practical politics"
More important than the ap-
proaches made to Gen. de Gaulle
by the politicians is the fact that
the membership of the Rally OF the
French People RPF) is growing
daily, according to American OBJ
servers.
Flock to New Standard.
Not only are middle-class people
whose existence is threatened by
communism, flocking to the new
standard, but also a substantial
number OF industrial workers who
as members of the Communist
dominated General Confederation
of Labor, are supposed to obey their
leadership without question.
Gen. de Gaulle developed strength
after the October elections prin-
cipally because he refused to beat
around the bush and has spoken
/ frankly. While Socialist Premier
Paul Ramadier and the chiefs OF
other political parties avoided i'm
plicating the Soviet Union in thell
mention of French Communist
threats, Gen. de Gaulle does not
hesitate to call the French peoples
attention to the fact that theil
country is menaced once more by
the rampant militarism OF the
Soviets.
The former resistance leader is
the first Western leader to come out
bluntlv with a suggestion that the
nations outside the iron curtain
form a politico economic military
alliance to present a strong front to
the persistent encroachments by the
/ USSR. This suggestion, which is
considered a diplomatic blunder In
many quarters, is likely to have
more appeal than is generally ex-
pected.
