Constantine Brown:

The British givernment's
moves to put its house in order
in the domestic and interna-
tional fields are attracting con-
siderable attention among the
lawmakers In washington. The
decision Of the British cabinet
to make drastic cuts at home
and show a far more concilia-
tory attitude toward Egypt is
considered the best news we
have received from abroad In
4 very long time. The Tories
had inherited an empty treas
ury and q dangerous conflict
with Egypt from the Labor gov
ernment. whose bunglings In
Iran cost the British in one
year nearly $500 million.
Mr.. Churchill and his col
leagues seem determined to do
their utmost to improve the
position Of the treasury with
out appealing for new loans or
grants from this country. The
firing Of 10000 bureaucrats is
q move which could be followed
even by our own Government
were it not that both parties
are anxious to catch as many
votes as possible next November.
But 1t Is asserted by some
Congressman that this country
could remove four times as
many officials as the British
have done and achieve SUBJ
stantial economies without i'm
pairing the Governments work.
The British government has
not done away with any Of the
social measures Of the Labor
ties. But without changing the
laws it has ordered that dental
plates, toupees, eyeglasses and
similar social benefits be paid
for by those who need them. The
Tories, lovers of fine foods. have
decided to push austerity to far
greater extremes than their
predecessors. For the next IL
months the British people will
have to live on q mere pittance.

Ing out to the inevitably dis
sruntled inhabitants Of the isles
that they will have to work twice
as hard and eat much less to
permit the government to bring
some order into their chaotic
finances. It Is recalled that
Britain had borrowed nearly 81
billion from the United States
in 1916 and that vast amount
had vanished into thin air with
out helping Britain's productive
capacity to any substantial de-
gree or making life more COM
Portable.
At the same time, the British
government seems willing to re-
consider It's policies In Egypt.
The conflict there. which has led
to much bloodshed and destruc-
tion, was caused by the Egyp-
tians' desire to terminate the
treaty Of 1896 providing for the
maintenance Of 10000 troops
on the Suez Canal. This treaty
was due to expire in 1856. The
Egyptians may not have used
the wisest method to achieve
their national goal. But the
Labor government handled the
situation with even less wisdom.
An open conflict threatened
to spread throughout the Middle
East and North Africa. The
Egyptian government felt it
could not accept the face-saving
suggestion from Washington
that Egypt enter into q Middle
Eastern defense pact and thus
accept the presence Of British
troops on the canal as part Of a
common defense force. Cairo
insisted that any consideration
Of such q proposition must be
preceded by a formal declara-
ton on the part Of the British
that they considered the canal
treaty void.
This question was discussed

never have been any doubts
about where he stands on any
public question.
The important and control
ling consideration In selecting q
nominee ought never to be what
kind Of performer the candi-
date can be on the stump or
what kind of popular appeal
he might have. There have
been good men elected to the
presidency who never were very
good on the stump. What
counts most Of all-and what
should count-are the views Of
the candidate and the platform
Of the party he represents and
also the capacity Of the candi-
date for leadership.
The preconvention campaign
is young yet. and it is a matter
Of great regret that Gen. Eisen-
hover is not in q position to
express himself to audiences
and debate public questions on
the stump now. He is handi-
capped because he really cannot
desert his post as supreme al
lied commander in Europe just
to seek political Office. But
Senator Taft feels apparently
under no obligation to modify
his own campaign. He goes on
the assumption that between
now and convention time the
people who want to know what
he thinks should hear the an
swers from his lips in prepared
speeches or in impromptu de-
bate. That's the old-fashioned
way. and it will be interesting
to see whether a man can win
a nomination primarily through
his own speeches and the sup
port which his expressed views
engender around the country as
against a possible nominee who
plainly stands for a different
concept of foreign policy but
who doesn't make speeches
about 1t.

It hadn't sought to "appease" the

II this premise were true, it

press his approval in the same
warm language that Gen.
Macarthur used, but he left the
impression that he would have
done what Mr.. Truman did If
he had been President. save that
he would first have submitted
his decision to Congress.

Senator Robert A. Taft is cer-
tainly at the moment the most
active man in the race of either
party.
Not only does the Ohio Sena-
tor refrain from doing a side

friends are entering his name,
as he says, without encourage
ment from him-but he takes
on John L. Lewis In q hot debate
in q congressional committee
and doesn't back away from
that kind of battle either
The biggest single obstacle
that Senator Taft has had to
face in recent months has been
the repeated comment. heard
among political folks opposed
to him, that he isn't a vote
getter or that there is some
thing about his personality
which fails to lure votes to his
side.
The Ohio Senator has been
travelling from one end OF the
country to the other drawing
big crowds and demonstrating
that he has a certain popular
appeal, even though it doesn't
always cause his admirers to
shout themselves into a. frenzy
of emotion as they have done
in past years for other cand1-
dates.
The results of his recent trips
and particularly his speech to
overflow crowds in New York
have caused some revision OF
opinion about his value as q
campaigner. In his 1850 Ohio
contest, which he won by an
overwhelming majority, there
never was any doubt about

The impromptu debate at the
Capitol with John L. Lewis is q
vivid example Of the Taft forth
rightness. Many another cam
didate would have tried tact
fully TO avoid q collision on the
theory that 1t was best not to
antagonize any section Of the
labor vote. But not Senator
Taft. He struck back at the
charge that the law which bears
his name is . "slave labor act"
and didn't hesitate to say that
Mr.. Lewis's interpretations OF
the law were wrong.
When the little debate before
the congressional committee
was over, the two men were
photographed together. 1t
wasn't one Of those Compost"
photographs either. The two
men were pictured looking
straight at each her-with the
Ohio Senator smiling and the
United Mine Workers chief en-
gagged In serious conversation.
It might be said facetiously that
the Taft adherents need not be
apprehensive lest the photo will
be used against them In en-
ployer circles as evidence Of
any attempt to- curry favor
with the labor unions. In view
of all that has been said on the
subject Of composite" pictures.
it is to be noted that Mr.. Taft
doesn't object to being photo
graphed with opponents-and
that's an American character
istic. A demagogue might have
refused to pose.
It is a curious thing how much
Importance the professional poll
iticians attach to the campaign
abilities Of a candidate. Sena-
tor Taft will have to appear
on the television screen q good
deal and it is natural that there
should be questions as to how
good q campaigner he would be.
Those doubts have already been
resolved in his favor. There
