Pennsylvania and John Sullivan,
former Secretary Of the Navy.
But both. it has been discovered,
are registered in the Senate
books as lobbyists. 1t is all
quite aboveboard and entirely
legal: nevertheless at this par
ticular point in Democratic af-
fairs, lobbyist is not a title Dem
ocrats embrace happily. It
would also make it impossible
for them to cast any stones at
the Republican national chair
man, Mr.. Gabrielson, whose

Many Washington lawyers do
not. in fact, register as lobbyists
even when to the innocent by

carries a faint flavor Of that
occupation. At least Messrs.
Sullivan and Myers registered.
With respect to Mr.. Myers, it
is understood also that the

teeman, Mayor Lawrence of

Moscow Is having field day
since the outbreak Of the Brit
ish-Egyptian conflict. In broad
casts In all languages spoken in
the Middle East the Soviet
propagandists are shedding croc-
odile tears over the "unfortu-
nate Egyptians" who are being
oppressed by the British and
their imperialist supporters the
United States who never give
up their conquests until they are
kicked out"
The Red propagandists and
the Kremlin diplomats evidently
are expecting a political vacuum
in the Middle East and are get
ting ready to step into it.
There are strong appeals for
creation Of a Middle Eastern
Arab confederation whose only
aims would be their own protec-
ton against the colonial powers
with the "disinterested" support
Of the U. s. s. r. The Kremlin
apparently knows better than we
do the immense strategic i'm
portance Of the area which ex-
tends from Iran to the Atlantic
Ocean and hopes to deprive the
Western nations Of a strategic
region on which we would have
to rely heavily In the event Of
an armed conflict with the
U. S. s. r.
According to some reports,
Moscow has informed the Egyp-
tian government of its willing
ness to send a military mission
at once to train the Egyptian
armies and also provide the
necessary equipment. Under the
1896 British Egyptian agree
ment. now voided by the Cairo
Parliament. Britain alone was
permitted to train Egyptian
forces. The suggestion from
Cairo to Washington about a
year ago that American military
instructors be sent to Egypt was
turned down because it would
have placed the American Gov.
ernment In a false position in
regard to Great Britain.

ment has not considered the

and the other satellite nations.
This, however, does not seem
to discourage the Kremlin dip
lomats who are watching eager
" the reaction Of the West to
Egypt's efforts TO expel British
forces from It's territory. Ar1eri-
can British diplomacy has
blundered seriously in Iran
and now in Egypt. The crises
which have developed in those
two areas could have been
avoided easily by a give-and-
take policy when 1t became clear
that these Middle Eastern coun-
tries aspired to become genu-
inely independent. The State
Department and the Foreign
ONCE dilly-dallied until they
were confronted with an ac-
complished fact In an era when
the international situation does
not warrant the use Of force.
London and Washington seem
to have forgotten that in
this day and age the dispatch
of a powerful fleet to demon
strate in Middle Eastern har-
bors is no longer sufficient:
neither is the threat to use air
and ground forces of any avail
at a time when Russia Is look
ing for a chance to provoke a
conflict In which the West must
take all the blame. The Middle
East is the back yard Of the
U. S. s. r. where armies and air
forces far larger than we or the
British have available are now
ready for action. And when
force is not available compro-
misses are in order. Neither Brit
ain nor the United States. which
is involved in the present strife
by the fact that we are Britain's
= ally, seems to have recognized
this situation in time. Unless
the Western nations can find
an "out" through the United
Nations, the British are in one
of the toughest spots in their
history.

Dovid Lqwrence:

The American people have
been the victims of so much
suppression of inside news by
the administration in power,
which has the right to deny
confidential data to investi-
eating committees of Congress,
that the disclosures in books
OF memoirs have often furnished
the missing link in information
to which the public is en-
titled.
Two books-the diaries of
James Forrestal and now the
memoirs Of Jesse a.. Jones,
former head Of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corp.-reveal news
somewhat different from the
expressions of piety and high
mindedness which are to be
found in the official propaganda
Of public statements and
speeches.
For both Mr.. Forrestal and
MIR. Jones now confirm what
the American people have long
suspected but upon which they
have had little first-hand knowl-
edge-namely. that politics is
played by Presidents of the
United States with the most
serious matters Of public policy.
Thus. in the diaries just pub
lished by the Viking Press. Mr..
Forrestal wrote in July. 1913:

take another look at the pic

himself out as far as Gov.
Dewey Of New York is concerned
by denying that he had said

ported by the late James v.
Forrestal, Secretary Of Defense,
in his diary recently published.
He was nice, too, to Senator
Joe Mccarthy. Republican, Of
Wisconsin, saying he would
'just as leave have Senator
McCarthy's support" adding he
would like the support Of all
Senators. including Senator
Wayne Morse, Republican, Of
Oregon, who is in the anti
Taft wing of the party and has
declared for Gen. Eisenhower.
Senator Taft will enter the

be in the military or in the
civilian side-the decision should
be influenced not by the merits
of the problem itself but by what
is good or bad from the stand
point Of the Presidents own po-
litical fortunes.
Much more extreme Is the
statement Of Jesse n. Jones. who
made an enviable record In the
RFC, not only because he han
died the affairs of that institu-
ton without political influence
but because he insisted that any
order he got from the President
In managing the affairs Of the

titled Fifty Billion Dollars"
just published by the MacMil-

Roosevelt tried to get the RFC

was an inflated price. Mr.. Roose-

Smith and other Democrat per-
Sonages who were at that time

a real estate venture which in
recent years has happily turned
out well but which at that time
was a worry to the hackers. It
is not clear whether Mr.. Roose-
velt wanted to help the Demo-
cratic leaders because Of party
reasons or to get a leverage on
them so that they would be less
hostile to him politically. At any
rate, Mr.. Jones in his book calls
Mr.. Roosevelt a total poll

that. regardless of his oft-re-

It would be risky, and pre-
mature, to suggest the emer-
gence Of a new Taft" on such
scrappy evidence, for previous

his forthcoming book on for

stitute documented proof since,

All Of this. at any rate, would
seem to indicate the effect Of
competition in politics, in this
case Of a glamorous general Of
wide fame and popularity, as
well, perhaps, as a measure of
the Senator's consuming desire
for the White House job and
his determination to bust every

This was manifest in the cere-

As Party Ranks Grow Weaker
West Wants Chapman as Democratic National Chairman
Sentiment in Senate Begins to Center on Clements

Democratic politicians from
West Of the Mississippi are tele-
phoning Washington that Secre-
tary Of the Interior Chapman
ought to be the next Demo-
cratic National Chairman. They
contend-correctly-that with
the South disaffected and the
Democratic machines Of the
pivotal States caught in RFC-
Internal Revenue scandals the
West is all-important to Presi-
dent Truman in 1852.
within the Senate a rather
solid sentiment is beginning to
coalesce around Senator Glenn
ents of Kentucky. Senator
Clements, q skillful operator, in
herited the Craftsmanship Of the
Senate Campaign Committee
from Senator Anderson of New
Mexico when Ill health caused
the popular Anderson to lay that
burden down. He is inheriting
again as Mr.. Anderson's health
would not permit him to take
the National Craftsmanship th'
President once wanted him to
have.
AS a Kentuckian, Senator
Clements inherits something
more. It is the support Of Vice
President Barley, who plainly
hopes that, age or no, he will be
renominated. It could be in
some quarters that this will de-
tract from the Clements appeal.

by q substantial crop Of resig-
nations in the States from poll
ticos who have made their fame

nor resign, it is a misfortune Mr..
Truman could bear with equa-
nimity.
AS in years past, they will
make very little contribution to
what is a serious problem but
will shove the burden to the
Presidents shoulders. He has
not done too well with 1t. Actu-
ally he has never had the help
of a full-time, ardent chairman,
in perfect health. who was either
a burning advocate of the party
program or depended for his
future prosperity on making a
success Of 1t.
Attorney General McGrath
had political power and prestige
in his own right but he did not
give up his Senate seat and he
followed Mr.. Truman obediently.
The late Robert e. Hannegan,
like Mr.. Boyle, had serious
health problems and was not on
the job consistently and vigor-
ously.
The President, with so much
power at his immediate COM
mand, may not always realize
how weak the ranks are becom-
ing but it is plain to the objec-
tive observer. The present va
canies give him a chance to re-
build his national committee;

London Is pointing out to
Washington that it should treat
the Egyptian situation In the
same manner as the Iranian.
It Is no longer a matter Of Egypt
alone but the whole area In
which Britain has important
strategic and economic interests
in the Middle East. There have
been loud rumblings Of discon-
tent from IraQ for some time.
The Baghdad government will
not be able to resist for any
length Of time the pressure Of
its people who already have
been encouraged by the victory
in Iran. Britain has not only
large interests In the MoSul oil
fields but also has the right. by
treaty, to maintain two air bases
in that country.
From these bases 1t is only q
short flight to the Soviet Oil in-
stallations at and around Baku.
The Iraqian government now is
insisting that the treaty giving
Britain the privilege Of main
tanning air bases be cancelled
because it is not in keeping with
the sovereignty Of the country.
The Iraqian government wishes
also an increased royalty from
the Mosul oilfields and a more
intense exploitation OF that
area. The demands Of the Bagh-
dad government are expected to
increase In proportion to the
success Of other Middle Eastern
countries which have been en-
joying lately the sport Of twist
ing the British lions tail.
The Foreign Office points out
that the acceptance at this time
Of what amounts to an uncon-
ditional surrender to the Cairo
government win be harmful to
plans for defense Of the West
in which we are heavily in
volyed. And behind these devel-
opments which may assume
tragic proportions looms the

Buddha's teachings. The misrm-
derstandings may not all be cleared
away during our generation If we
are to let things plod along, hoping
that truth will somehow find the
way. We must do something about
it.
You and l, as BuSsei, have within
us the power to change all this with
the light of truth and knowledge.
This problem of solution for this
misunderstanding might be compar-
able with the Law of Karma. What
is done, is done. We cannot undo
the past. However, the future is
what we make it. But first, we Bud
dhists, must study more into the
teachings of our Lord Buddha on
our own initiative, for how can we
answer the questions of those who
seek light, unless we ourselves know
the answer?
The Lord Buddha predicted that
approximately 1000 years after his
death, his teachings would sweep
the world. The time is now.
