and direction of foreign policy
Evening star., 1950-12-11

now TO try TO Ano"as L. S'oAes'
wrest control of foreign policy
from President Truman. This is
indicated by the way in which
they revived their campaign to
oust Secretary of State Dean
Acheson in the very midst of the
critical conferences between Presi-
dent Truman and British Prime
Minister Clement Attlee. Mr..
Acheson was a key figure in those
deliberations.
Shown in Treaty Demand.
1t was indicated also in the de-
mand by twenty Republican Sena-
tors that any agreements with the
British Prime Minister be put in
treaty form and submitted to the
Senate for ratification, one way
in which the Senate could assert
its authority. That may be taken
as a symbolic move in the reach
for power rather than in expecta-
ton of any results. For the out
come of the Truman-Attlee con-
ferences reveals no hard-and-fast
agreement" of a nature that
could be embodied in a treaty.
That could have been foreseen in
advance, when the demand was
made, as the two allies are dealing
with a longtime situation in
which policies are necessarily flex-
ible and subject to revision.
An intention by many leading
Republicans to begin fighting the
1852 campaign now on the Ko-
rean and Asian policy issues was
forecast by the tenor of the meet
ing here of National and State
party leaders with Republican
Chairman Guy George Gabriel
son last week end. Republicans
are, indeed, we'll fortified for an
attempt to seize commanding in
fluence in foreign policy by virtue
of their Senate strength, along
with the support of a few Demo-
Gratis. The party lineup in the

and there is little left now to con-
tinue the fight successfully.
This was the dim view taken
by many legislators and other po-
litical observers in Washington
after the Truman-Attlee COM
munique was published last Fri
day. It was forcefully expressed
when Secretary of State Acheson
and Defense Secretary Marshall
appeared last Saturday before the
House and Senate Foreign Rela-
tions and Armed Services COM
mittees.
The communique declared en-
phatically that there is unity of
purpose between the United
States and Great Britain, but
there will be no cooperation for
continuation of the struggle
against the Chinese Communist
aggressors II the United Nations
forces are compelled to evacuate
the Korea battlefield.
British Support Limited.
The British prime minister
solemnly pledged his country's
support in the Korean campaign
alone. But he made 1t very clear
that because of the paramount
Importance of Europe, Britain will
not join any adventure" in the
Far East. He officially restated
the determination of the British
government to continue the rec
ognition of the Peiping govern
ment, although that government
has refused to reciprocate.
Mr.. Attlee also restated the
firm desire of the British govern
ment to replace the Chinese Ma
tionalists with the Communists
in the United Nations, although
Chinese Red troops now are fight
ing British soldiers. Because of
the Western nations great lack
of preparedness they still refuse
to take cognizance of the unde-
clared-but nevertheless open
war which China today is waging
against the free world.
Political leaders in Washington
and elsewhere have no doubt that
Russia with her millions of
trained and armed men and her
large air force is actually behind
China and is pushing her into
her present acts of violence. They
know that Russia is behind the
forces which are fighting the
French in Indo-China and that
Russia is responsible for the
growing infiltration Of Commu-
mist agitators and guerrillas into
Burma. Thailand and other Ash
attic countries.
Free Nations Disunited.
But Russia is strong militarily |
and the free nations not only are
lamentably unprepared for this
struggle, which started soon after
the end of World War II, but are
not even united. The French

plans for coping with 1t and some
reinsurance that men in whom
they have confidence are taking
hold.
In some very quiet meetings in
Washington this is admitted and
discussions are proceeding on how
to influence events in that direc-
ton. The difficulty is to find
channels through which effective
pressure can be exerted on the
White House.
The Presidents big guns in the
Senate were spiked by the elec-
ton; since they are leaving Office
in less than q month, such veter-
ans as Senators Lucas, Tydings,
Pepper. ETC.. are not In a position
to put any leverage on Mr.. Tru-
man. Many of the strong men
left are Southerners toward whom
he has made no gesture. The
middle readers have moved into
the resulting vacuum and are
about to give him q leader, Sen
ator Mcfarland, who has certain
assuaging talents but can do little
to fill gaps left by White House
failures.
The situation in the House is
better with the veterans Speaker
Rayburn and Majority Leader
Mccormack still in control. But
the ranks of their convinced sup
porters are decimated; they must
hoard their influence and depend
chiefly on compromise.
Acheson Handicapped.
The Presidents official family
with some exceptions are men
whose regulations are his own
creation; they do not shore him
UP with the public. The most bril-
liant Of them, Secretary of State
Acheson. is handicapped by con-
troversy which has reached the
point where even Democrats think
he cannot stay much longer.
The judicial branch is making
its contribution by not succumb-
ing to hysteria but by its nature

waiting,

Foreign Policy Conflict
Senate Republicans Seem Determined
To Wrest Control From the President

then with the aid Of Democratic
isolationist allies, chose to chal-
lenge woodrow Wilson's League
Of Nations. They whipped up a
great campaign publicly, defeated
Mr.. Wilson's dream in the Senate,
and then made it the issue in the
1920 Presidential campaign. They
won that election but there were
other factors than the League in
volved in that over-turn. We have
come to see, too, the tragic mis-
take Of the course Of policy they
originated at that time.
No such clear-cut issue is in
volved now. The United Nations.
the Leagues successor. is a settled
and accepted fact divorced from
party politics. There are big,
vague issues now, growing out of
the confusing, cloaked maneuvers
of Communist imperialism. Lines
Of policy are subject to periodic
shift with circumstances. The
U. NJ. OF course, is heavily in
volved in all Of it.
To President Truman's advan-
tage in this struggle with Senate
Republicans is the very fact, it.
self, of policy adjustments which
can only be handled by the Execu-
tive and on the basis of informa-
ton available only to him. A
Senate junta is clumsy for meet
ing sudden Developments, not to
mention the handicap of differ
ences among Republicans, them
selves.
Constitutional Authority.
But, beyond that, no President
can afford to have his constitu-
tional authority over foreign pol
Icy arrogated by the Senate. That
is his prerogative, and his histori-
cal responsibility under our sys-
tenn. Mr.. Truman is a stubborn
fighter, a personality factor that
enters heavily. He has stood by
Dean Acheson, and there is little
reason to believe that he would
permit Senate Republicans to die
tate who shall be Secretary of
State, evidently the aim of current
maneuvers. even if eventually he
may decide to let Mr.. Acheson
step aside.
1t will be interesting to- see just
how far the Republicans will go.
That will become clear in the next
few days. Because of their war
on Dean Acheson and their criti-
cism of Far Eastern policy it has
become incumbent upon them to
formulate a policy of their own.
This they say they intend to do.
How much solidarity the party
can muster remains to be seen. It
may be significant that Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey issued call for
unity" in our present crisis, COM
ing as it did on the heels of the
new Senate Republican outbreak
against Mr.. Acheson. He is, as he
said, perhaps the outstanding
critic of the administrators Asian
policy, but in time like this the
country must be united.
