Class parties must, by their
nature, seek total power, for the
achievement of which there are
other means than depriving op-

periodic right to vote, for at a
certain point a party controlling
sufficient economic power cannot
be ousted without economic
chaos resulting.
Gen. Eisenhower appeared at
this historic junction. not as a
party leader, but as symbol of
American unity. That is his
historic Importance and ne

who sneered that he appealed to

were probably right, for what
is the function of a father but
to hold the family together?
Did not our founding fathers
forewarn against the menace Of
just such factions as have arisen
amongst us?
The instinct of America
turned against them. And that
was sound. For the test of a

The more one thinks, the

Its primary achievement was
to break the group coalitions
that had become the Democratic

These groups-the machines
OF the great cities, organized

leaders, Northern Negroes, and
certain nationalitieS-have kept
the Democratic Party in power.
1t was to keep them aligned
that President Truman entered
the campaign to make the naked
class appeal that Gov. Steven

permanent nor conviction to do.
The song, Don't let 'em take 1t

not to the American people, but

1t wasn't until more than a year

long time, at critical period.
Too bad he didn't sink, but the
effect on the Japs of seeing that
half-sunken wreck come dragging
back on the end of a towline and
settle ANONYMOUSLY into the mud
of Tokyo Bay after his brave de-
parture the day before must have
been considerable and significant.
For we had tagged the uncom-
pleted aircraft carrier Hitaka on
his maiden trial trip, just as he
poked his freshly painted nose
outside the torpedo nets.
Later we discovered that our
first two torpedoes had "prema-
tured" - exploded just before
reaching the target-and that
Hitaka had, in fact, received only
two holes in his hull, both Of
them aft.
1t wasn't our fault that the
enemy had had time to tow him
back into the shadows, for the
four hits we had earned should
have taken care of him immedi-
ately.

the campaign ComSubPac was
then waging to get the torpedoes
fixed up, however, and had the
additional unlooked-for result Of
starting a rash of stories about
the submarine which lay on the
bottom of Tokyo Bay for a month
waiting for Hitaka to be launched.
But this was all small comfort.

The United Nations can i'll

ford to lose the dedication of
other able men to the work of
the United Nations. Regardless
of all obstructions, whether of

It's purposes and its development

Above all, our own American

gratitude of especially favored
groups.
At the Chicago convention
the Democratic left wing, led by
Blair Moody of Michigan, was
bent on welding these groups
more firmly into a real class
party by throwing out the
Southern delegates. They ar
gued that the Democrats could
have won all four previous elec-
tions without a solid South, and
that a separate Dixiecrat Party,
even if it voted with the Repub-
licans in Congress, would drive
Southerners off important COM
mittees and clear the alignment
pushing all tories" into one
fold. and all "progressives" into
another, thus laying foundations
for an American Labor Party
on the British model.
Although they failed at the
convention, their aim was not
abandoned, and they would have
used another period of Demo-
cratic power to realize it.
But this is not American de-
mocracy, nor can American de-
mocracy survive such division.
American democracy aims at
the maximum of unity, not the
maximum Of division, the more
so since it possesses no racial
basis for cohesion. A nation
divided by class and nationali-
ties is divided against itself,

it is difficult to convince the
man in the street in France
and Britain that these are any

Eisenhower, as military
man. understands that unless

enormous sums poured into
Europe by the American tax
payers will have been wasted.

member of the NATO, but our

Spain as a ps.fi aer in the coali-

academic. Western Europe can
not prevent this country from

to rewrite the Military Assist
ance Program in the event our
allies continue their present
feet-dragging tactics. During
this year the State Department
has UNDERSTANDABLE shown little
diplomatic activity. 1t was
awaiting the results at the polls.
Precious time was lost. however,
in the last eight months. during
which strong sentiment was
crystallized in France and the
Benelux countries against the
ratification of the treaty of
Paris. which enables Germany
to add force of 100000 men to
the Western military establish
ment.
1t has become an axiom with
all military men that the goal
set to oppose a Red onslaught
by force could not be reached
unless Germany were effectively
armed. And as things stand to-
day the chances of reaching that
objective are extremely poor.
The American people who
haye poured tens of billions of
dollars into restoring the eco
nomic and political health of
Western Europe take the NATO
seriously. Our friends across the
Atlantic take the problem Of de-
fense against the Red menace
lightly.
The sequel of this difference
is that many military men at
SHAPE consider that defense
organization as a dead letter un-
less either its charter members
wake up and get busy arming
themselves thoroughly or are
willing to accept into the NATO
nations which are willing to take

Constantine Brown:
Can Eisenhower Save NATO?
Unless Allies Pitch In With Firepower and Monpower
Money u. S. Poured Into Europe May Be Wasted

Will the new American Gov
ernment be able to salvage the
NATO or will it be forced to
ask Congress to rewrite the
North Atlantic Pact and the
Military Assistance Program?
This is the inevitable problem
which will face Gen. Eisenhower
at the outset of his administra-
ton.
President Truman is expected
to give a fill-in about the latest
diplomatic developments when
he meets with his successor ON
November 18. But there is little
he can add insofar as the mill
tary situation of the NATO is
concerned.
The general picture has not
improved since the time when
Gen. Eisenhower relinquished
his position as supreme COM
mander at SHAPE last May. He
knew then that the military
coalition to defend Western Eu-
rope was anemic. He also knew
that its weakness was not due
to a lack Of potential manpower
in the allied countries or any
reluctance on the part of the
United States to provide its al
lies with the wherewith to live
up to their commitments.
Domestic political considera-
tions and the resurgence of a
strong nationalist-iso tionism
were responsible for the difficult
ties of the allied governments.

Western Europe that a war with
the USSR can be avoided easily
if only America were not so

Mems jaws slackened. This was

The carriers escorts were two
of the biggest and most powerful

were certainly doing a bang-up

The carrier was coming out of
