appropriated leadership on for
eign policy. he is going about his
added chore with the same rest
less energy and same ready flow
of language that is so charac-
teristic of him. Everywhere you
turned in the last few days, you
seemed to hear his voice. His
schedule in four days included
a full-dress speech in the SEN
ate, a radio interview and a
speech before the National Press
Club. He came through the
ordeal fine and fit, for he plainly
relished 1t.
The Senator is a one-man
debating team-and without
benefit of mirrors. He can pro-
duce foreign policy debate
by himself-or at least he seems
to argue with himself as he goes
along. In one breath, belliger-
emily, he declares war on inter-
national Communism all over
the world and, in the next, he
counsels withdrawal from what
appears to be the vulnerable
frontiers and adds that it looks
like Stain doesn't intend to
move in Europe, anyhow. He
demands that the Truman ad-
ministration announce its policy
specifically right now over the
whole world front and then he
urges that we wait and see what
Stain intends to do.
This may be unfair to the
Senator. and apologies are here
by offered-but that is the i'm
preston a listener gets.
Senator Taft gives the i'm
preston. too, of being mixed up
and confused-and so are all
of us. That gives him the hui
man touch. But. there's some
thing else that is beguiling about
the Senator. He is life with
father. He is papa backing his
back in front of the fireplace
laying the law down to the fam
lily. He is a symbol. somehow,
of an America long gone, a
comfortably isolated America.
He has nostalgia influence.
He makes it look as if we could
go back, and we so want to go
back.
II we didn't have him in these
troublous times, we'd have to
create him for our solace.
Tactically, as far as foreign
policy goes. it would appear an
advantage to the administra-
ton and those who side with

These usually carry the color
of the personal likes or dislikes
Of man in high position. This
bias may be directed at a par
ticular commander or at a par
ticular branch Of the services
fighting across the Pacific.
Moreover, reports from for
eign countries, including de-
tailed, reports from the enemy
himself, are available to all who
want to read them. And these
are not pretty. Even if we dis
count heavily what the enemy
says as propaganda. the pic
ture is far from encouraging.
even after the exaggerations
have been eliminated.
There must have been some
sound reason for Gen. MacAr-
thur, who was among the first
to deprecate any kind Of press
censorship, ordering this un-
precedented curtain around all
news from the battlefield. But
whatever reason existed then,
it does not explain why the
blackout is being continued.
The drastic blackout in Korea
and Tokyo creates a feeling Of
fear and distrust in our COM
manders. 1t carries the impli-
cation that something dreadful
is going on and the Nation is
not being taken into the conf
dence of the military leaders.

Taft Cat Out Of the BoQ

bluntly phrased the moment
after the new Senators were
sworn in, was that the Presi-
dent had broken with custom
by his undue delay of his mes
sage.
He also complained that the
President was depriving the
Senate of working time. Ac-
tually, the Democrats are ready
now to proceed; it is the Re-
publicans who are delaying the
organization of the Senate with
their disputes over committees.
The circumstances Of the mo-
ment, perhaps more than ever
in our history. will dictate Presi-
Dental policies In 1852. But
that Senator Taft himself now
sees his = cherished ambition
within his grasp and feels ready.
willing and able already to as
sumo commensurate RESPONSE
bilities is hardly open to ques-
ton.
His colleagues are chafing a
little as the Taft reputation
wakes, in part at their expense.
Some Of the liberals are in an
upon what meat" mood but
they know they are helpless.
Democrats blame the press for
affixing the Mister Republican
tag to him; she believes it," they
mourn. And why not?

Doris FIeeson:

Senator Robert A. Taft let the
cat out of the bag when he told
the National Press Club he was
prepared to sit down with Presi-
dent Truman and try to work
out consistent" program Of
mobilization the American peo-
pie would support.
When Senator Taft talks
about consultation with Repub-
licans, he means consultation
with Mister Republican. The
bag that contained this secret
has been considerably less than
opaque for a long time to those
In close contact with the Senate.
There is q rather beguiling
lack Of cant in the Senator's
placid assumption that he is, in
truth. Mr.. Truman's opposite
number in the Government and
can work out the country's des-
tiny with him. What. Mr.. Taft
thinks Is possible is a long way
toward accomplishment.
Technically. however. he Is
still only one Of three Senators
who divide party responsibility
In the Senate. He is not a mem
Der of Foreign Relations nor
Banking and Currency, which
handles mobilization legislation.

LUFKIN, Tex.-If you want
to meet Mother Nature, shake
her hand. and learn how puny
man is compared to her, then
travel about this country in a
light plane.
Flying in a light plane. and
flying in a giant commercial
plane, are as different as night
and day. If not more so.
The Comics and DC-6's and
the C-54's either can bore
through the bad weather that
Ma Nature provides on occa-
sion or fly above it.
But the little plane has to
be careful. The pilot-mine is
Bill France-has to watch the
clouds more carefully than any
painter or photographer ever
did. This is our first day out
of Dallas. on the way to Miami.
and we're spending the night
here.
There are two passengers
with France-myself and Bill
Slater-and Slater just said the
truest words have ever heard.
He said, in effect. that the
owner and pilot of a private
plane never is lonesome once his
wheels clear the runway and
his ship is airborne. From that
second, until his wheels touch
the runway of the town of his
destination, there are thousands
of men holding his hand, inter-
ested in his welfare, and giving
him by radio and radio tele-
phone all the knowledge they
have-and for free.
We had planned to make
Miami the same day we left
Dallas. But Ma Nature cooked
up hail, thunder, lightning, rain.
and clouds darker than the in

hadn't had help from the

Senator Taft is constantly as
founding. He can always go
himself one better.
One marvels at his energy.
his industry, his versatility. his
bold and yet perfectly natural
way Of reaching out for another
slice of power, when it seemed
he had about all there was. and
his readiness to take on another
role, when it seemed he was
playing nearly all of them al
ready.
For some time he has been
the undisputed spokesman Of his
party in Congress on domestic
policy. Now, as forecast here
not long since, he has become its
spokesman in the new Congress
on foreign policy. 1t was not
very risky prophecy. If one
knows the Senator, and given
the circumstances. That post
was vacant due to the illness OF
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan, and Senator Taft
just stepped into it-by his leave,
which is leave enough. The fact
that he is not even a member
of the Foreign Relations Com
mite did not deter him. He is
not the Republican leader Of
the Senate either by title-but
he is the Republican leader.
The Senator's triumphant re-
election last November enhanced
his already large national pres
tige and he came back to en-
trench himself and his philo-
sophy still more firmly in the
Senate and, as a matter of fact.
in Congress as whole. The
results Of his typical busy-ness
we see now in the Senate in
which he has quietly managed
to establish those of his per-
suasion solidly in the posts of
influence, wedding out the dis
senters. He is the Republican
boss of the Senate-without
question.
Thus buttressed he stepped
into command on foreign policy.
Hitherto he had let Senator
vandenberg carry that part Of
the burden without too much
interference, though he had al
ways expressed himself, often at
length, on questions of foreign
policy. In that and in his votes
he sometimes differed with Sen
ator vandenberg-and was in
the minority-in the era of So
called "bi-partisan" foreign
policy.
He has not changed much,
though he might deny it. Again
one seems to hear, as the Sena-
tor outlines his views about
meeting the threat Of inter-
national Communism, an echo
Of his pre-Pearl Harbor views
about combating the Nazi men
ace. :.

David LoWrence:

Until now it has been as
sumed that America needed
mostly to reach behind the
"iron curtain" to get her views
across to the people there. but
1t is beginning to become ap-
parent that what is equally
necessary is some way to place
the viewpoint of the United
States before countries outside
the Iron curtain"
There seems no explanation
of the hesitancy and reluctance
of other governments in the
United Nations to vote to de-
clare Red China an aggressor
except that the public opinion
of other countries is not as we'll
informed about the American
viewpoint as it should be.
Thus, there is in America
wonderment that the United
Nations should hesitate to adopt
a resolution branding Red China
as an aggressor. To the average
American it is inexplicable that.
after what has happened in
Korea, any free government
should be reluctant to call a
spade a spade. But the reason
given for refraining from taking
such a step is said to be a fear
Of offending Russia.
Almost every proposal to carry
out the basic principles of the
United Nations Charter itself by
resisting aggression is waived
aside timidly in certain coun-
tries as likely to bring on war.
There seems. to be prevalent
abroad a genuine fear of Russia
"a kind of defeatism. This
emerges in the repeated requests
for cease fire" plan based on
"peace-at-any-price" proposals.
There is, Of course, way to
avoid q war with Russia at least
temporarily and that is by ap-
peasement. But the American
view is that in 1888 appease-
ment at Munich was construed
as a weakness which emboldened

it, that Senator Taft has as
sumed leadership of the oppo-
sition. For he is a good
target because he is Sen
ator Taft, much better than
Herbert Hoover, for example, a
whipping boy of another gen.
Grafton who now has become
an elder statesman.
How good Senator Taft's
leadership on foreign policy may
be for the Republican Party is
another matter.
