Politics Ties EisenhoWer's Hands
Job Of Building European Force to Resist Aggression
Made Harder by Diplomatic Red Tape

It is fortunate that Gen.
Eisenhower is not a man to be-
come easily discouraged and
throw up his hands. But it is
no longer a secret that his task
of creating a force sufficiently
strong to resist aggression
which may occur in the near
future-is difficult, requiring
all of his diplomatic talents
and his ability to talk rough
without alternating people.
Nominally Gen. Eisenhower
is the new supreme commander
of North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization forces in Europe. In
fact he should be responsible for
the defense Of all free Europe.
When his command was
created he found that the AL
lies. who had pledged them
selves to do their utmost to
create quickly an adequate
ground force to defend either
the Elbe or Rhine lines, have
been tagging sadly. This was
due to two main factors: ~
Unsettled domestic policies in
Europe, and CD an inevitable,
though temporary. showdown in
shipments of American arms be-
cause of the requirements of
the Korean war.
The latter factor has been.
used by the governments of con-
tinental Europe as an alibi for
the slowness of their own ef-
forts. American arms are now
once more being sent across
the Atlantic in large quantities.
The recent French election
gives little ground for optimism.
The new National Assembly.
with its numerous political
factions, may not be any kinder
toward middle -of-the-road gov
ernments than in the past.
Gen. Eisenhower and his staff
hope that the new Assembly,
at least in its initial stages. will
show greater interest in Frances
military commitments. But they
are said to entertain doubts
about the future, when more
concrete and costly efforts must
be made.
Because of his great RESPONSE
billties, the supreme commander
inevitably is compelled to look
to other nations, not members
of the NATO, to augment the
ground forces in Europe's de-
fense. But his hands are tied
in this direction. 1t is the task
of American diplomacy to exer-
else its talents to add to the

possible to predict that, with
continuing encouragement. he
might not come in time to see
himself, as so many have in the
past. in another role-listening
to the roars of political con-
vention and hearing the stirring
thunder of the pipe organ al
ways ready at those affairs. It
all creeps up on a man. seduc-
lively, so that he hardly recog-
nizes it and seldom admits it.
Gen. Eisenhower said he
didn't want to run for President
in 1948 and his champions in
both parties found out he meant
it. But since then the pressure
has increased, his Gallup poll
rating is scooting up to tempt
ing heights, and now it's an
open question again about him.
So Gen. Macarthur may not
be, at this time, the best judge
of his own feelings. At any
rate, his movements and
speeches are being watched
closely by political managers in
both parties, particularly by
those Of Senator Taft's cam
paign for the Republican nomi-
nation. Democrats have felt
that he Is losing his popular ap-
peal, but are concerned about
his effect as propagandist
against the administration now
that he has intruded into the
sphere of politics.

Doris Fleeson:

McCarthyism is political
reality that Democrats as well
as Republicans are having to
consider as their thoughts turn
to 1852.
Because the fact is that in
q presidential year it could be
the margin between carrying
or not carrying the pivotal
States where elections are won
and lost. And the Democrats
of this era cast their lot with
those States in their historic
1948 convention when they put
q strong civil rights plank in
their platform.
Their own confidential analy-
sis of the 1850 returns showed
the Democrats that they suf-
fered their most severe and
shocking defeats not in farm
areas but In the cities which
dominate the pivotal States.
These cities have been their
citadels and carried vital States
for them. The Mccarthy blast

largely through its appeal to
the strongly anti Communist
Catholic elements.
During the windup Of the
Tydings investigation into the
Mccarthy charges, Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, jr.. Of Mas
sachusetts was seated at dinner
next to Gov. Dever Of that State.
Senator Lodge, member Of the
Tydings committee, asked the
Governor what effect Senator
Evening star., 1951-06-22

The suggestion is sometimes
heard that now Is the hour for
Democrats to nominate a Cath
olic for Vice President. This will
be very sweet spot if MFR. Tru-
man, who will have undergone
nearly eight gruelling years as
President, is re-nominated.
Qualified possibilities with
proved vote appeal: Senator Nc
Mahon. Attorney General Nc
Grath and Gov. Lausche Of
Ohio. AS for the top of the
ticket it so happens that no
Catholic is now in a command
ing national position as was AL
Smith in 1928.
Persons close to Senator Doug
las of Illinois know that one
reason he shies from becoming
a candidate is that he has been
divorced. He is said to feel that
Senator Mccarthy and others
might try to make this an issue
against him with Catholic
Democrats already made fearful
by the Communist issue.
Senator Douglas, a Quaker.
was divorced many years ago
and has an exceptionally at
tractive family life. His friends
feel strongly that his fears are
unjustified. But he is a gentle
person who wants no shadow Of
unhappiness in his family's eyes
that he can possibly avert.

Evolution in American Policy
New Psychological Srotegy Board Appointed to Influence
Peoples, Not Leaders, in Other Lands
Dovid Lowrence:

A profound evolution. il not

represented by President Tru-
mans appointment Of what il
called . psychological strategy
board" It will attempt to in
fuence the peoples-rather than
the governments-of other coun-
tries.
Although composed Of repre-
sentativeS Of the State Depart
ment, the Defense Department
and the Joint Chiefs of STAFF,
the new agency reports directly
to the President. This means
that at last an independent in
stitution free from the handi-
caps Of the State Departments
formal diplomacy can operate
freely in the field Of what used
to be called psychological war;
fare"
1t is to be noted that the
head Of the Central Intelligence
Agency is to be a member of the
board and that members from
other Government departments
may be added as the work
progresses.
Gordon Gray, who used to
be Secretary of the Army. has
been chosen to head it, and the
outline thus far makes it ap-
pear that the objective is to
combine some of the tasks that
were performed by the Office Of
Strategic Services during the
last war and some of the duties
of the once of War Informa-
ton.
Broadly speaking, the purpose
is to utilize the principle Of in

filtration which has, s,been availed
Of by the Russians inside West
ern countries, but without stoop-
ing to the methods and prac-
tices Of the Communists.
The United States too long
has neglected this field Of
operation It has been delayed
due to the tenacity with which
Secretary Of State Acheson has
opposed any such broad activity
unless it could be controlled
entirely by his department. He
honestly believed 1t might lead
to complications for the State
Department. But the famous
Formosa document, which was
admittedly an effort to aban-
don truth in order to accomplish
what was believed at the time
to be a desirable objective,
shows how such tactics can
boomerang against the State
Department.
The new board probably will
not operate any information
service. The "Voice of Amer
lea" probably viii 60 on function
ing as it is but with directives
from the psychological board
that may affect its programs.
Basically. the new board. how
ever, cannot succeed merely be-
cause interdepartmental ma
chinery has been set up to direct
it. Something vital is lacking
1t is the failure Of the basic
policy of the Government itself
to furnish the sinews of q good
strategy.
1t will be useless for the
strategy board to try to make
effective use of policies which

its sway over the Middle East.
The decision on whether a
Britisher or an American will be
appointed supreme commander
OF the Eastern Mediterranean
is awaited anxiously. II we
yield to Britain's demand to ap-
point a British admiral for the
sake merely of prestige, we can
expect important diplomatic
repercussions.
Gen. Eisenhower is fully
aware of these dangers, but
there is nothing he can do. He
would like to see his forces
backed by the West Germans
and Spaniards. But, as he has
stated before committee hear
ings in Washington. this is a
political matter, over which he
has no control.
He exercised his prerogative
as supreme commander when he
appointed Admiral Carney COM
mander in chief Of the southern
area of the European defense
forces. This command, however.
includes only Southern France
and Italy. 1t is up to the diplo-
mats to decide who will com.
mand the Eastern Mediter-
ranean. which has far greater
strategic value for us than the
central part of that sea.
Gen. Eisenhower would like
to cut all the diplomatic red
tape and get busy organizing
a real force in Western Europe.
But he has been reminded gently
already that his command
role was definitely specified
when he became Supreme Allied
Commander in Europe.

are transparently insincere or
inconsistent.
No board Of strategy can do
anything II the President and
Secretary Of State pursue policies
that are faulty. For the State
Department, to favor the Ma
tionalist government Of China
one day and to belittle 1t the
next day will not enable the new
psychological board to win
friends for the United States
In Asia. There has to be a ARM
ness and a straightforwardness
about national and information
al policy which will enable q
strategy board TO feel it is. en-
firm ground when 1t under
takes q campaign to persuade
the peoples of other countries as
to basic truths.
Whether any psychological
board can succeed in the absence
Of competent leadership in
international affairs is problem
atical. The State Department
today does not have the conf
dence of q united American
people. The President has
wrecked bipartisan cooperation.
If bipartisan handling of foreign
policy could be restored, if the
American people could be re-
united behind a leadership in
world policy that they feel they
can trust, then psychological
board could do an effective job
inside other countries. The
trouble will not be with the
board but with the ingredients
Of strategy made availible to it
by the higher-ups in Govern
ment itself.

sovIETs MUST PROVE SINCERITY

The Soviet Union, which objects to
any discussion of the present level OF
ornaments and forces now maintained in
the Soviet Union and its satellite states, as
compared with ornaments in Europe and
the rest of the world, suggests, through
Deputy Foreign Minister Andrea A.. Gro
myko, that it is ready to accept the idea
of an international inspection of armed
I 'orces l
This is the first time that the Russians
have gone this far. In regard to atomic
control negotiations, the Soviet expresses
a willingness to allow inspections within
its territory, provided they are on a 'pe-
stand it, that the Soviet expects to be in
formed in advance of the visits of the in
ternational agents and would not agree
to inspections at other times.
The British seem to feel that if the
Soviet acceptance of inspection is sincere,
some progress has been made but the an
nouncement of the Russian delegate is
taken with great skepticism by the u. S.
delegation, which suspects that it may be
designed to prevent discussion of present
ornaments and an effort to secure reduc-
ton of ornaments on the present unequal
basis.
The difficulty of reaching any agree
ment with the Russians is that there is
doubt and suspicion of Russian motives
and intentions An agreement for inspec-
ton can easily be avoided by objections
raised when the Inspections are made and
the good faith of the Russians will be ac-
cepted only when subsequent conduct
proves them to be sincere.

THINKS CHINESE HAVE ENOUGH

Realizing that it is practically impos-
sible to determine the meaning of the
Chinese retreat in Korea and, at the same
time, recognizing that the Communist
Army has been severely punished by the
United Nations forces one hears rumors
of internal trouble that make the Chinese
Communists somewhat anxious to effect
a sterilization of the Korean venture.
In Tokyo, japanese experts, with
long experience with Chinese strategy,
suggest that the Chinese hoped for quick
victory in Korea but find it impossible
now because they do not have truly
stabilized base at home. In fact, condi-
tions within China are said to be worse
then-when the Korean fighting began.
Moreover, they suggest that the Chi
nese-E Communists are more anxious to re-
organize China, Including the expropria7
ton Of wealth. than to continue an abor-
tive xttempt at foreign conquest.
chinese strategy, as these observers
see IL includes d retreat behind the Thir-
Twilight Parallel, in the hope that the
United Nations forces will not cross the
boundary. This will permit the formation
of stable front, without serious fighting,
thus enabling the Chinese to withdraw
some of their forces into China.
