BUT WE NEVER YET HAD
TWO PRESIDENTS

Following the Eisenhower land
slide in the Massachusetts primary,
SenatOr-Manager Henry Cabot
Lodge, Jr, comedies (if we under
stand the language) the Republican
nomination to Ike. There should
be no question now" he said, "as
to the decision of the Republican
Party in July"
In the Taft camp, Manager David
S. ingalls, rallied from the Bay
State shellacking, which practical
ly tied the score on delegates be-
tween the General and the OhiOan,
and observed that most of Eisen-
hOwer's strength is now in q.
From now on" he said, Taft will
widen the lead he has enjoyed since
the very beginning and which will
take him to an early ballot victory
at the convention"
And thus, from now on, toastmas-
ters everywhere will be saying,
when they introduce either of the
contestants: and so, my fell
low citizens of the great state of
whatever, l give you q. the next
President of the United Statesi"
/ 1t begins to look as though mod
esty in politics is an objectionable
sin or else no campaign man
ager ever has enough genuine con-
fidenCe in his man to indulge in it.
We believe, however, that it was
| in all modesty that Ike, when told
of his victory in Massachusetts,
said: 1T has begun to look kind
of serious"
Perhaps, when he gets home, he
will discover that this contest be-
gan "to look kind of serious" to
the rest of us some time back. And
when he added that the Massachus-
etts vote was IAN overwhelming
sort of thing" perhaps it meant
that the Supreme Commander AL
lied Powers Europe has begun his
transition into a private citizen
facing the struggle and peril of
contest for such public confidence
as may sweep him into the worlds
toughest job.
If and when Ike gets the picture,
his managers may find him hard to
manage. And if he remains docile,
the Taft stature could become truly
commanding.

SHALL WE CHEER A DICTATOR?
The outcome of the steel case will set
the national course. 1t will determine
whether we are to continue as republic
or revert to European socialism. Wherever
the final decision is made, be it in the Con-
gress or the U. S. Supreme Court, the think
ing public will be waiting with grim concern.
For it will determine whether we will elect
a president or Obediently cheer a dictator
The sO-called inherent powers which
the president cited as his authority for gov
ernment seizure of the steel industry have
never been defined with anything resembling
clarity. Some of the foremost authorities on
constitutional laws are convinced the presi-
dent does not and cannot have powers of so
tremendous nature. But, regardless of the
legal aspects of the matter, it is perfectly
obvious that such powers would make it pos
sible for a president to establish a dictator
ship almost overnight-and that the people
would be helpless. A grim fOOtnote to the
steel case was added when the president in
ferred, at press conference, that he could
order government seizure of the nations
newspapers if he deemed it wise and neces-
sary. That, of course, would be the end of
the free press-and if the free press ever
goes, all our other freedoms will follow it
into oblivion.
Clearly, here is an issue of the highest
Importance which only Congress can deal
with Yet, with a few honorable exceptions
our Senators and Representatives have su-
p-nely lodged it. The issue which the steel
seizure has brought into the bright white
light of day is not partisan one. The out
come will determine whether we will elect
a president or Obediently cheer a dictator.

Chino in the U. N.

Then, even more important, there
was contained in the agreement the
following:
GAS soon as the agreement has
been reached on a cease-fire, the
General Assembly shall set up an
appropriate body which shall in
clude representatives Of the govern
ments of the United Kingdom. the
United States Of America. the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics, and
the Peoples Republic Of China with
a view to the achievement Of set
tlement. in conformity with existing
international obligations and pro-
visions Of the United Nations Chart
er, of far-eastern problems, includ-
ing among others. those Of Formosa
and Of representation Of China in
the United Nations"
Thus, as late as January 1851.
the Secretary Of State agreed that
we would sit down with England,
with Communist China itself. with
the Union OF Soviet Socialist Repub-
lies, all three Of them urging upon
US appeaSement peace. and that
there would be completely excluded
from the conference Nationalist
China. the recognized Government
of China, which has a seat In the
Security Council today. That was
equivalent to saying. I'VE are will
ing to give up Formosa. We are
willing to have Communist China
admitted to the United Nations"
It was fortunate indeed that Com
munist China declined to accept
that cease-fire proposal. The Depart
ment Of State came out with the
naive statement that It had agreed
to the proposal because it felt al

Only Other Policy

Inc only OLner poucy under con-
sideration, prior to the Malik pro-
posal for an armistice. was the ne
gotiating Of an armistice with the
North Koreans and the Chinese Com
munists, the withdrawal of all for
eign troops from Korea, and the
discussion Of the questions of For
mosa and the admission Of Chinese
Communists to the United Nations
and to the negotiations on the Jap
aneSe Peace Treaty.
Such a settlement, / believe, would
be very much worse even than an
unconditional withdrawal from Ko-
rea, but the State Department at one
time approved it. In January 1851
the Secretary Of State agreed to the
cease-fire plan approved by the
United Nations political committee.
That cease-fire plan provided, first,
for a truce. Then it provided:
TO permit the carrying out of the
General Assembly resolution that
Korea should be a unified. independ-
ent, democratic. sovereign State
with a constitution and a govern
ment based on free popular elec-
tions. all non-Korean armed forces
win be withdrawn. by appropriate
stages. from Korea, and appropriate
arrangements, in accordance with
United Nations principles. will be
made for the Korean people to ex-
press their own free will in respect
to their future government.
The withdrawal of all non-Korean
forces from Korea under the eondi-
tions existing there would, In my
opinion, mean the communication Of
Korea. The Russians do not care
what they do underground. They dc
not regard their promises. Our ef
fort in a Korean election Of thai
kind would be completely swampet

Moscow faces a move of its offices

The Soviet Government notified
the Embassy yesterday that il
would not renew the lease on the

which the Russians are canceling
the lease. Some of the Embassy
personnel have lived in apart
ments in the Office building, how
ever. It had been leased by the
Embassy since 1884.
State Department officials saw
the lease cancellation as a dis
courtesy. but did not read any
great political significance into it.

on whether the Russians turn up
another building that will be as
