because I did not think that
the tide of affairs had turned.
Our history shows that party
overturns have little to do with
the personalities of the candi-
dates. A national disaster, such
as the depression of 1929, can
turn the tide, as it did. in 1882,
not only in America but else
where in the depresSion-hit
world. In that election no Re
publican could have won, and
no Democrat could have lost. 1t
was not a matter of issues, and
not a sweep for the New Deal,
which began only after it. The
people then voted against things
as they were.
They were still satisfied in
1886 when Roosevelt had a
landslide, and in 1910 when a
most popular Republican candi-
date went again to defeat. They
were sufficiently satisfied in 1948
to defeat Dewey, nor do I think
that another Republican STRAIT
egy would appreciebly have al
tered the outcome.

Lowell MeHett::

The election is over. The

likely to be carried over until
the next election or other elec-
tions still to come.
The tidelands issue, impor-
tant to three States for one rea-
son, to the rest of the States for
another, may be settled quickly.
It will be settled to suit the
three States, since they feel
strongly about it. not to the best

have recognized the nature or
degree of their interest. Quit

easily in the new Congress. And.
of course, it will not be vetoed
by the new President, he having
told Texans even before he left
Europe that he shared their
views. The Supreme Court
which confirmed the present
Federal title does not dispute
the right of Congress to change
existing law.
The issue of civil rights, on
the other hand, is likely to get
nothing more than a good kick
ing around, at least in the early
years of the administration. Mr..
Eisenhower. in keeping with his
principal pledge on the subject,
may urge the end of segregation
in the District of Columbia, but
if that brings on a f1libuster, as
it inevitably will, Republican
Senate leadership will not be
disposed to waste time on 1t.
Or on any other fllibuster, un-
less some of the Senate's deter
mined liberals should adopt this
potent legislative weapon to
their own uses on such issues,
say, as public power and public

another matter. But if all fails,
the dilemma will be on Presi-
dent Eisenhower's hands, and
to popular resentment will be
added disillusioned hopes.
In Europe. the tide is also
turning, as American leadership
reveals burdens as we'll as adj

hover. with the great tact he
always has displayed toward
Europeans - not noticeable in
the Acheson regime-may per-
form a great service. for he has
always played up Europe's role

The great quality of Eisenhower
is that he is an encouraging
man-when allowed to be.
During this campaign. a
rumor was widely circulated:
"A vote for Eisenhower is a
vote for war;" I think that un-

of our last wars under Demo-

must apparently believe in uni

democracy to war. Rather, I
think, the real Eisenhower was

they don't really expect it.
"Communism in Govern
ment," having served it's politi-
cal purpose, is expected to take
up less of the legislators time,
even with Senator Mccarthy
heading the Senate's principal
investigating committee. There
will be little point in trying to
prove that the Republican ad-
ministration contains 81, 108, o.
202 known Reds.
Senator Taft, heading the
Committee on Labor and Public
Welfare. can be expected to
press for those amendments to
the Taft-Hartley law he has
freely admitted are needed in
fairness to labor, as well as some
others desired by employers but
not by labor.
In foreign policy the key is
likely to be Korea. Any change
in the conduct of our opera
tlons there is bound to affect
all our other operations abroad.
Whether there is to be any
change will depend in large
measure on the unpredictable
results of the President-elect's
projected trip to the scene of
the present fighting.

Eisenhower goes to examine con-
