Dangers in 1nterregnun' Period
Long Time Interval Between Old and New Administration
Could EnobIe Foe to Act on WobbIing Foreign Policy

Office after an election except
by a constitutional amendment.
It is a weakness in the American
system that ought some day to
be corrected.
Canada and the other coun-
tries with a parliamentary SyS-
tenn overcome this handicap in
two ways-they have a perma-
nent career service of officials
who do not go out when there
is a change of ministry, and
they provide for the immediate
assumption of Office by the
winning regime the moment an
election occurs.
In the interval between the
1892 election and inauguration
day in March, 1888, the domes-
tic situation gradually deterior-
ated. Desperate efforts by
President Hoover to get Mr..
Roosevelt to sit down with him
and shape policies were fruit
less. There was one such meet
ing, but it resulted in a failure
to work together. The theory
behind Mr.. Roosevelt's refusal
was that he was not actually
responsible until inaugurated
and that he would not be placed
in the position of approving
acts about which he. could not
possibly know the details since
he had no Subordinates Of his
own selection in public Office.
There are many people who be-
lieve that the closing Of the

necessary and that the millions
of dollars lost to the depositorS
would not have occurred if the
Hoover and Roosevelt admin
istrations had really Cooper

At this time there are very
important questions of inter-
national policy which need CO.
operation between the outgo-
ing and incoming administra-
tions. They are, for instance,
policy in the United Nations
Assembly now meeting, policy
with respect to getting more
manpower from our allies not
only for Korea but for the de-
fense of Europe, policy with re-

Eastern war. Rightly or wrongly
they estimate that the Soviet
general staff will enter a war
against the United States only
when it feels Russian chances
for ultimate victory are better
than $3.50. And this is not the
case at the present time.
In Europe the conservative
governments, shaky as they are.
might be able, in the face of
Soviet participation in war in
the Fai East, to rouse sufficient
popular feeling to join in de-
fense of the free nations.
In the last few months the
Kremlin diplomats have been
very active attempting to wean
France and Britain from the
Western coalition. They have
met particularly in France, with
some degree of success. due par
TALLY to the defensive attitude
of the United States in the Far
East.
The active Soviet propaganda
in Western Europe and in Asia
has developed skillfully the the
sis that America is so weak and
uncertain of herself that she has
not been able to overcome the
Asiatic forces of the Chinese and
North Koreans despite Ameri-
cas- ability to provide the fight
ing men with the most modern
type of war materials. And the
propaganda goes on saying that
if 100000 Americans supported
by at least an equal number OF
Koreans and other United Ma
tions forces cannot defeat Chi
nese armies which must obtain
supplies from Russia, how can
Western Europe rely on the
United States to save them from
a Red onslaught If Stain should
decide to wage war against
Europe?
The Russians undoubtedly
have the capability to defeat the
Allied forces in Europe today

Dorothy Thompson:

This column is written before
the election returns are in.
If the Republican Party wins,
we shall consider it little short
of a miracle, despite the great
popularity of Gen. Eisenhower.
AS a machine, the Democratic
Party is as superior to the Re-
publican as the Ford V-8 en-
gine is to the old Model T. The
Republicans are still clinging to
the idea that voting is by wards.
precincts, counties, ETC., and
that appeals should be ad-
dressed to individual citizens
to all Americans. each of whom
will, after hearing both sides,
make up his own mind. This is
the traditional concept of polit-
ical democracy.
The Democratic Party sees the
Nation as organized into groups,
or blocs, and goes after these
blocS as whole, even with the
conscious knowledge that it will
thereby lose the votes of the un-
organized. Many New Dealers
at the Democratic convention
were willing, even eager, to read
the Southern delegates out of
the party this year in order to
strengthen the coalition in the
rest of the country, on which
their basic power rests: The
masses of the great cities; the
organized workers; the Negroes;
the most highly organized, vocif-
erous in-group nationalities and
the reformist or experimentalist.
intelligentsia who everywhere in
the world have allied themselves
with such coalitions, furnishing
them with leadership and brain
power and receiving through
them an extension of their own
influence and power.
If the Democrats could win
with these groups and without
the South, they could more easily
realize their goal of an American

policies relating to the budgets
of foreign governments to which
the United States under its
mutual assistance law is fur
nishing aid.
Distinct damage has been
done the international program
by the active participation of
some of the high officials-like
Averell Hartman, Mutual Sc
curity Administrator-in cam
paign politics. While there is
no law to forbid such partici-
patton, nevertheless, if Mutual
Assistance activities are to get
bipartisan support, the men
who operate such programs
should resign at least for the
duration of the campaign in
which they are taking an active
part.
The problem of restoring
some semblance of a bipartisan
attitude in Congress toward in
ternational policies has been
made more difficult by the Tru-
man Administration and its
appointees. It sounded like a
mockery of words for Mr.. Tru-
man in Michigan speeches to
have extolled the crusade which
the late Senator Vandenberg
of Michigan sought to carry on
to get Republicans and Demo-
Gratis to work together while the
President himself allowed par
tisan politics to interfere with
the proper development of for
eign policy. especially in con-
nection with the Far East. The
Republicans. including Mr.. VAN
denberg, are on record as say
ing the Administration failed
to consult the opposition in
Congress on the important
steps taken in connection with
China policy.
The next few months. never
theless, will see renewed efforts
by supporters for bipartisan
ship in international policy to
try to revive the concept that
politics ends at the waters
edge" It is the most vital
question facing the Nation in
the immediate future, especially
since Soviet Russia might pos
sibly take advantage of the
wobbling condition of American
policy to stir up more trouble
in Southeast Asia and to block
a truce in Korea.

diate vicinity Of the White
House.
Both can be expected to strive
for economy and fight Com
munsim and corruption. 1t is
still true that the successful
candidate will discover very
shortly that he cannot believe
all that he has heard about
Washington and perhaps not
even all that he himself has
said.
The social gains both promise
are expensive. Any big cuts must
be in defense and while unit
costs may perhaps be susceptible
to improvement, many able men
are working harder on a wise
defense budget than they ever
did in their own far-flung busi-'
ness enterprises.
The estimates they are now
turning in must be measured
against the tall yardstick Of
security and will not be easily
refuted. Already they are less
than last years.
BY responsible standards the
fight against Communism and
corruption is also going forward
very well. Either new President
may stimulate it but they do
not have to start from scratch.
Gen. Eisenhower would not
find it possible to have as liberal
an administration as his last
speeches indicate, he likes to
think. Gov. Stevenson would
be forced into more liberal po-
sitions than his instructive mod
Grafton may suggest but the
congressional coalition would be
an effective drag upon him.

Constantine Brown:

Qualified American military
observers in Japan and Korea
admit that there is no easy solu-
ton to the Korean tragedy in
which we have some 500, 900 men
involved at present.
The observers seem to have
no doubt that the present de-
fenSive line roughly along the
38th Parallel can hold for some
time against any Red onslaught.
But they add that no army in
the world has been able to win
a war on the defensive. The
Hindenburg, Siegfried and
Maginot lines in the first and
second World Wars crumbled
eventually when the offensive
forces made a real effort to
overrun them.
The consensus of these quail
fled military observers is that If
the Red aviation-which our
own Air Force officers now ad-
NIT is 80 per cent manned by
Russians and GermanS-decided
to take the necessary losses to
destroy the Allied logistic bases
at Pusan, Sasebo and Shimo-
noseki they could do it. Our
forces in Korea would then be
cut off from their supply bases.
This is not, however, in the
cards at present. The war of
attrition imposed on us by the
Reds suits the Kremlin per-
fectly. We are being severely
bled while the Russians are los
ing nothing.
None Of the professional SOL
diers can openly offer a solution
to this impasse. But as profess
sional men they would suggest
an about offensive which would
require OF course. many addl-
tional ground forces and a sub
stantial increase in Allied air
power.

Doris Fleeson:

Whatever happens today
Washington is in for a change.
It will be a change of people,
of mood, of standards Of con-
duct and value. The country
has reason to hope that it will
release fresh and creative en-
ergies for the hard tasks whose
shape the campaign oratory has
not altered.
It can be a total change OF
direction only under one set OF
circumstances.
Should Gen. Eisenhower win
by a landslide which sweeps in
with him all the political prim-
itives of his party-Senators Nc
Carthy, Jenner, Cain and COM
pany-they will interpret it as
a mandate for their type OF
leadership. Even so, their GER
tain attempt to dictate policy
would be met by formidable re-
sistance from Eastern Republic
cans and important press ano
business supporters Of the
general.
In that resistance many
Democrats in Congress would
inevitably join. Indeed the
general cannot have an inter-
national foreign policy without
Democrats. The number OF iso-
lationists in his own party and
the mathematics of the Senate
prove that.
Gov. Stevenson, if elected,
plans a direct appeal for re-
establishment of a bipartisan

The suggestion. however, will
not take hold unless both parties

was the case with the Republi-

the case with the Democrats.

David Lawrence:

Now that the election cam
paign is over, the United States
faces a critical period called an
"interregnum"-an interval of
two and a half months when
neither the outgoing nor the
incoming administration is
really able to make public poll
icy.
1t used to be four months,
but the Constitution was
amended in 1888 to make In
auguration Day January 20 in
stead of March 4. The most
conspicuous instance OF the
dangers of such a long lapse oc-
CURED between November 8,
1882, when Herbert Hoover was
defeated. and March 4, 1888.
when Franklin D. Roosevelt was
inaugurated.
Sensing the damage that
might be done to National
policy-immediately after the
defeat of Mr.. Hoover in Novem-
ber-thiS correspondent sug-
gested in these dispatches that
if Mr.. Hoover and Vice Presi-
dent Curtis would resign, and
before that step were taken
Mr.. Roosevelt were to be ap-
pointed Secretary Of State by
President Hoover, the President
elect could succeed Immediately
to the Presidency.
But such a remedy could not
be applied today, because
Congress has changed the law
of succession so that. after the
Vice President, the Speaker of
the House is first in line for the
presidency in the event of a
vacancy in the White House.
There is no way by which a
President-elect who had not
been a member of Congress can
become one overnight.
Congress could by law provide
again for succession by the
Secretary of State, but could
limit this particular step only
to a Secretary of State ap-
pointed Immediately after a
presidential election and only
for purposes of succession to the
presidency. That could be
spelled out explicitly in the law,
and hence it would not require
q constitutional amendment
provided the outgoing President
were willing to retire at once.
There is no way any President
can be compelled to leave his
