This Changing World
French May Agree to German Arming
AS Result of Elections in US.

dinate the forces Of all nations
which desire to remain outside
Russia's orbit.
This political philosophy. cred
|-ited to the new Congress by some
American and many foreign OBJ
servers, will have as a practical
result a more careful analysis of
expenditures for the Marshall
Plan and the Military Aid Pro-
gram. The point Of view of the
military. who are charged with
planning defenses against the
threat from Red enemies in Eu-
rope and Asia, will take precedence
over the niceties of diplomats.
Reports From Paris.
This is suspected by the keenly
political-minded Frenchmen. Re-
ports from Paris indicate that the
French government. which only
a week ago was adamant on the
matter of including Germany's
manpower in the overall defense
system Of Europe, is seriously con-
sidering some changes in its pol
icy. The views of the Atlantic
pact military leaders will be given
more serious consideration than
in the past.
This will be a drastic departure
from the views of French Defense
Minister Jules Moch. who stated
in Washington recently. when
asked whether he was ready to
accept the decisions of the mill
tary council of the Chiefs of staff,
that mo government in the world
can be bound by the decisions of
the military"
This is a correct democratic
approach. but international con-
ditions are such today that the
advice Of honest and patriotic
military men must be taken into
consideration by politicians, re-
gardless Of the consequences to
their own futures. And there was
unanimous agreement among the
Chiefs OF Stan OF the IL Atlantic
pact nations in Washington re-
garding the urgency of permitting
the Gafmans to defend their own
country with their own manpower,
under overall Allied supervision.
The French feel now that the
new American Congress. which
will be called to vote several bill
lion dollars for rearmament of
Western Europe. may be infiu-
enced by the thinking OF our
Chiefs Of Staff and may warn our
French friends that unless more
attention is paid to the military
and less to domestic political ex-
pediency, the appropriations to
be sought may have some rough

into the hottest of all issues, for
eign policy. How much and how
openly he will intrude into this
field from now on is keenly dis
cussed here.
1t would probably be the best
politics for him to stick to the
offside. exerting his influence
through the policy committee to
secure his ends but allowing the
title to roost elsewhere. He is
rarely prudent, however, when he
is keenly concerned and as with
Mr.. Truman in late 1948, his opin-
ion Of his own judgment is prob
ably high. Mr.. Taft was supposed
to have hurt himself by taking the
lead for new labor bill. 1t ac-
tually has made him.
Vacuum to be Filled.
No obvious successor to ailing
Senator Vandenberg as the gen.
eral manager for G.. o. P. foreign
policy exists; the vacuum is there
to be filled. Incidentally their
successes entitle Republicans to
one new member of Senate For
eign Relations; Senator Morse of
Oregon, newly reelected, can be
expected to press vigorously an
old claim on this seat.
Democrats must give up one
place in that powerful group and
lost three members: Senators
Thomas. Tydings and Pepper.
Younger Senators are already
eying the vacancies: one. Senator
Sparkman of Alabama, now a
member Of the United States dele
cation to the U. N. General As
sembly. has the inside track.
Administration circles have be-
gun the effort to assess what real
differences separate the President
and the new Congress on foreign
policy. Their list starts with two,
both blockbusters. One is Secre-
tary Of State Acheson-must be
go or stay? The other is Chang
Kai-shek-do we or don't we re-
adopt 4lis cause? At this point, a
rather considerable pessimism

flushed with victory, and offer
them such an agenda.
It is already being suggested
in the vicinity of the Finance
Committee that the election re-
turns suggest less emphasis on ex-
cess profits and corporate taxes
together with consideration of a
general sales tax. The Finance
Committee is the conservative
citadel of the Capitol and the
elections have cost it only one
member, Majority Leader Lucas.
Senators Millikin and Taft are it's
ranking Republicans and its chair
man. Senator George. already has
signified approval of Tuesdays re-
suits as beneficial to the two
party system.
Taft Has Taken Plunge.
Senator Taft, the COP. eco
nomic savant who does not like
controls, can say with truth that
the President has powers he is not
using. The Senator has also be-
gun already to complain about
appropriations-the cost Of rearm-
ing western Europe specifically.
The President has never hesi-
tated to offer Congress contro-
versial programs but with the
Chinese Communist crisis on his
hands. he may prefer to keep his
triumphant critics at arms length
as long as he can.

the chances of America continu-
ing it's lavish assistance for their
military and economic needs will
be reduced after the new Congress

French and other Western
European observers in the United
States do not fear any wave of
"isolationism. They are con-
vinced that this country will CO.
operate with its allies and will
also live up to all commitments.
Realistic Policy Ahead.
But these observers, who have
spent time in Washington, realize
that the new Congress will insist
on realistic policy.
Foreign diplomats and their
outside observers know that most
Republicans and some Democrats
in both houses feel strongly that
what is good for America is also
good for it's allies" The present
world conflict must be focused on
the danger from Russia, which is
attempting to divide the Western
world and is playing on old
predudices.

which appear of the highest i'm

and in Western Europe-such as
whether we should extend a
friendly hand to governments
which do not have elections as

This means a continuation, with
new vigor, of the struggle for con-
troll, broadly, between the con-
servative forces led by Senator
Taft, based in the Middle West
where the Republican resurgence
was strongest, and the moderately
progressive and more information
alist wing of the party in which
Governors Dewey and Warren, an
East-West axis, are leading figures.
This latter contingent seemingly

conventions. The Senate gives
him a national forum.
Will Affect Nomination.
The outcome of this intra- party
battle will affect both the 1852
nomination and the party's policy
as embraced in its platform.
The new vitality pumped into
the ambitions of these profess
sional political leaders, probably
will have another effect not to be
overlooked. This is to diminish
to a degree. depending on devel-
opments between now and the
1852 convention, the prospects of
nomination Of an outsider"
which, at this stage. generally
means Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.
This, despite the fact that Gov.
Dewey espoused the generals can
didacy in the heat of the recent
campaign. That Endorsement was
discounted by cynical critics who
pointed out that 1t came from
Gov. Dewey, off-hand. in radio
interview just on the eve of pub
lication of the now-famous Joe
Hanley letter. They claimed this
gesture was designed to mitigate
the effect of the Joe Hanley po-
litical indiscretion which subse-
quently caused Republicans SO
much trouble ard required 50
much explaining.
In the contest for power in
the Republican Party Senator
Taft has the advantage of his
leadership In Congress where the
party's record is made and where
his Midwestern following is SC
strongly represented IN posts OF
command. The Taft leadership
has BEEN strengthened by the
election through the increased
effectiveness of the Republican,
Southern Democratic coalition

Pitfalls Facing Taft.

ever admits even when it is the
truth. Except the Browns, Of
course.
Everyone was polite and re-
spectful and agreeable" the
Browns agree. They asked me
to make one basic change in the
story for which I did the adap-
tation. They had reason for it,
and I thought they were most
logical about it" Mr.. Brown says.
His original central character in
Stars in My Crown" was a grand
father. MGM has no objection to
grandfathers, it told the author,
but actors do object to playing
them. Name actors, that is. So it
was the studios suggestion that
Parson Gray be remodeled into a
youngish sort of uncle.
Nothing could have been SIM
pier" Mr.. Brown says. "And 1t did
not hurt the story in the slight
est"
What could have hurt it, he
feels, would have been a loss of
sincerity. What he liked most
about the original was that it was
pretty real in its relatively simple
narrative. He did not want this to
be lost and he is delighted that
the studio felt exactly the same
way. So did everyone in the cast,
Joel McCrea, Ellen Drew, Juano
Hernandez. This made the author
more happy than he had heard
authors ever were on their first
adventures in Hollywood.
Another thing the Browns liked
about the place is the climate
which was wonderful for the two
young Browns, both male. They
do we'll on the Eastern shore too,
Of course.
1t is an imperative Of talking
with the Browns that you must
ask that question: How do you
feel going around being inter-
viewed?"
The answer is:
well, funny at first. Remem-
bering how you used to needle
people when you were doing inter-
views. prof1les, or whatnot. you
keep expecting someone to do the
same thing to you. Somehow, they
never do-at least no one has so
far. Maybe that's part of the COM
radery OF the business.
