the world through diplomatic
and other sources probably
doesn't bring in much more
than the alert correspondents
of the press everywhere have
reported. The critical areas
are we'll known. It is in the
realm of policy making that
the danger lies.
If. for example. an important
foreign government allied with
us has to make a decision soon
and assumes that a change in
American policy may be forth
coming affecting that decision,
it is natural for an ambassador
to make inquiry. Under such
circumstances. the Department
of State would try to answer
the inquiry discreetly. Had
there been no contact at all be-
tween the Department of State
and a representative of Gen.
Eisenhower, what the depart
ment might say would have lit
tie weight AS it is, the foreign
government now may be per-
suaded not to get impatient,
and to let things continue as
they are without introducing
any complications.
Most pressing of all questions
is financial aid to the European
countries on our side. Budgets
have to be made in foreign capi-
tails and the extent of American
assistance carries a question
mark. But some of the foreign
governments have never learned
the facts of American constitu-
tional life. They don't know
that the Congress cannot make
a commitment beyond two years
anyway. because its power to
appropriate is limited to two
years at a time. There are Va
rious authorizations" made by
Congress. but the actual money
cannot be appropriated except
by each Congress. The So
called authorizations" of q
project are not necessarily COM
mitments that it will be f.
nanced. America has a budget
problem each year, too.
Evening star., 1952-11-19

So far as internal United
States is concerned, there are
many important matters pend
ing which will have to be de-
layed until Congress acts, but
that's always the case, even in
midterm when Congress has
been elected in November and
doesn't take Office until Janu-
ary. No crisis appears today on
the domestic horizon, but here,
too. the fact that the incoming
and outgoing administrations
are consulting means that an
orderly transition is being ef-
fected.
incidentally, whoever wrote
the joint statement is to be COM
mended for its fair and objec-
tive phraseology. 1t neither
transfers responsibility to the
President-elect nor implies that
the President has abdicated
power. It is the only kind of
statement that could have been
written under the American Sys-
tenn. which requires a wait from
election day in November to
Inauguration day on January 20.
Europeans who are accus-
toned to the parliamentary
system recall that in July, 1945.
when President Truman and
Prime Minister Churchill and
Marshal Stain were engaged in
the all-important meeting at
Potsdam, where plans were be-
ing made for Russian entry into
the war against Japan, the Brit
ish elections were held. Mr..
Churchill's party was defeated
and three days later Clement
Attlee. the new Prime Minister,
was attending the conference as
the head of the British govern
ment. Canada has the same sys-
tenn of quick transition, and if
America is ever engaged in war
when there's an election and a
transfer of power the American
people may wish they had some
other method of immediate
transition.

Meeting Was to Reossure World
Cooperation Statement by Eisenhower and Truman
Was Meant to Soothe Europe During Inteneqnum
David Lowrence:

larry Truman is still Presi-
dent and Dwight Eisenhower is
just getting some background
information to help him when
he becomes President on Janu-
airy 20 next. That's the mean
ing which the meeting in Wash
ington between the President
and the President-elect was sup
posed to convey to the Ameri-
can people.
But there was a larger pur-
pose. 1t was to allay the unrest
abroad and the uneasiness
which European governments
always feel when there is a
change of ministry anywhere.
It's a fear that the continuity
of policy may be broken.
The reinsurance which was
deliberately written into the
joint statement issued at the
White House will have a steady
ing influence abroad. After
making it clear that the Consti-
tuition requires the outgoing
President to exercise his func-
tions until he leaves office"
and that "his successor cannot
be asked to share or assume the
responsibilities of the presidency
until he takes Office" there fol-
lowed this key sentence:
I'VE believe, however. that
the arrangements we have made
for cooperation will be of great
value to the stability of our
country and to the favorable
progress of international af-
fairs"
This is a conspicuous way of
telling the world that the out
going and incoming adminis-
trations are consulting with each
other. and that the actual
transfer of power will be pre-
ceded by a period of close CO.
operation so far as the trans
mission of vital information is
concerned.
To the public this may imply
mystery or carry a vague hint
of critical situations undis-
closed. Actually the informa-
ton that comes from all over

Eisenhower Advisers Don't Want ohoon as Majority Leader
But VIII Try to Avoid Showdown the Issue

of teacher laying out homework

1t is only natural for Senator
Taft to be casting about for the
best possible command post. His
party is at long last in control
and its prospects are bright. All

tors are also busy with pencil

Ever since the death of the

eign policy was tacitly awarded
to the late Senator Vandenberg,
Senator Taft took over on mat

late Senators White and Wherry.

Taft departed from the scene,

that Gen. Eisenhower really did
not have a full awareness of the
awesome responsibility imposed
upon him by the American
people until the hour he spent
In the White House getting a
briefing on the manifold, criti-
cal international problems that
soon will be his.
At least the President-elect
seemed to observers to be a diff
ferent and changed man when
he came from the conference
with President Truman and his
top aides in which the general
was accompanied by two asso-
ciates, Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge and Joseph M. Dodge,
Detroit banker, who are his liai-
son agents here.
His face wore grim and sort
of startled look as he con-
fronted the horde of newspaper
men in the lobby of the White
House executive Offices, who
surged about him and almost
engulfed him. The infectious
grin of campaign days was
missing. Nor did it reappear in
the few minutes thereafter be-
fore he was whisked away in
the open car in which he had
come. When he had arrived
at the White House an hour
earlier he had put on a smile
for the photographers who en-
circled him in front of the
executive Offices.
Then he had come fresh from
the cheers of the throngs gath
cred along the Capitals streets
to welcome him, a familiar re-
echo of the crowds which had
greeted him everywhere all over
the country in his triumphant
Campaign.
But, only an hour later. the
prison doors of the White House
had become very real to him,
and for'~the first time we may
lmagine. Now. suddenly, as a
result of what he had heard be-
hind the closed doors in the
cabinet roem, these people he
had seen. standing for all the
millions he had seen on his cam
paign. and for all the millions
in our country. had become his
charges. his responsibility. No

ing the Reds to extend the truce
talks over the usual time were
brushed aside. They were told
that they must be patient and
that the principles applied to
ordinary war could not be ap-
piled to an international police
action.
The point was raised by the
military men in the summer of
1851 that in another police &C.
ton undertaken by a group Of
powers in 1900 against the Box
ers in China-who were sup
ported by the Empress of China
no armistice was granted.
The answer was that those were
other times when collective Sc
curity had not been accepted
as an international principle.
We have been discovering now
that this much-praised collec-
tive security is, insofar as we
are concerned, one-way street
in which we provide the bulk Of
the men. the fighting materials
and all the money.
The Indian proposal for an
armistice in Korea which has
been kept a secret for several
weeks and has been presented
as something which offered real
hope for a settlement has proved
to be nothing more than an
other potential trap. 1t is be-
ing studied by diplomats who
are duty bound to study every
thing. But there is no doubt
that it is another dead duck
and may doom the efforts
of the politicians in the U. N.
who have attempted to substi-
tute themselves for the military
in a strictly military problem
in which we and the South
Koreans have so much at stake.

There may. Of course, have
been other reasons for that stern
countenance of the President
elect when he left the confer
ence. Maybe it was something
that passed between the two
men, the President and himself,
in their Commute session alone
with each other before they
went into the general confer
ence. For what happened there
we must, await the memoirs of
both, or perhaps we may get an
inkling earlier, secondhand, in
the less reliable gossip that gets
around after the principals in
such twosomes confide in close
friends.
A photographer. representing
the whole corps, found the two
men in very solemn mood when
he went in to take picture and
had to prompt them by address,
ing them as "Mr. Presidents" to
bring out a smile.
Once warm friends and mu-
tual admirers, they had said bit
ter and uncomplimentary things,
each of the other, during the
campaign. things each could
not quickly forget-if ever
being human and being the
strong-willed men they are.
Politics is a struggle for power,
and that corrodes.
But, being patriots and states
men, they took care of the
business at hand. which was to
arrange an orderly transition
of our Government. President
Truman continues to assume
responsibility until the end of
his term, and Gen. Eisenhower
accepts none until he assumes
Office. which is proper. Mean
while, there will be cooperation
through a liaison and exchange
OF information which, as their
joint statement said. will be of
great value to the stability of
our country, and to the favor
able progress Of international
affairs"
That last was reinsurance to
our allies abroad who do not
quite understand American poll
tics. its campaigns or its elec-
tions, or the interregnum that
must run between administra-
tions.
