Of the many liberals at the head
OF our national affairs. Men
who simply abhorred the word
communism suffered from
a political color blindness that
was all the more dogged because
1t was completely honest"
Chambers wrote. For, men who
could not see that what they
firmly believed was liberalism
added up to socialism. could
scarcely be expected to see what
added up to communism. Any
charge of communism enraged
them precisely because they
could not grasp the differences
between themselves and those
against whom they were made.
Conscious of their own political
innocence they suspected that it
was from motives of political
malice, at themselves" This
should explain President Tru-
mans "red herring" utterances
during Hiss investigation by the
House Un-American Activities
Committee. Mr.. Chambers real
lied belatedly that the Commu-
niStS were firmly entrenched in
the Government and any at
tempt to dislodge them was
enormously complicated.
Every move against the Com
muniSts was felt by the liberals
as a move against themselves, +"
Mr.. Chambers wrote. ".. Unlike
the liberals, the Communists
were fully aware of their SUI
perior tactical position. They
knew that they had only to
shout their innocence and cry
witch hunt for the liberals to
rally in all innocence to their
defense. :" And Mr.. Cham
bers discovered from his bitter
experience, as some others have
since. that persistent efforts by
a man to expose the Commu-
nistS in the Government was
much less likely to lead to their
exposure than to reprisals
against him."

Woodrow Wilson's who came
from the governorship Of New
Jersey, had at the time they
went to the White House a lot
less knowledge of the current
status Of Federal problems than
Gen. Eisenhower has today.
One thing the general brings
with him on his return to the
United States will have a pro-
found effect on the American
people-if he chooses to develop
the theme which is closest to his
heart. It is the manner in which
Europe has been broken down
from within by splinter parties,
by factionalism, by the inordi-
nate grasping for power on the
part OF rival groups. He can
argue, perhaps more than any
body else, for the preservation
Of the two-party system, be-
cause Of what he has seen of
European politics. He can per-
suasively urge the necessity of
turning out the present admin
istration in Washington because
it has lost the confidence of the
people on major issues. When
confidence is lost by bungling
on domestic questions, the issues
Of foreign policy that ought to
be treated in a non-partisan way
become the footballs of partisan
politics.
So far as disagreement with
the present regime in WASH
ington is concerned, Gen. Eisen-
hover doesn't feel that the
American people want a Presi-
dent who thinks everything that
has been done heretofore Is
wrong just because a Demo-
crat has been President. BY the
same token, he doesn't think ad-
miniStration spokesmen are rails
ing the level of political INTEL
ligence by saying that no man,
however good. can be a good
President on the Republican
ticket because of the attitude
which members of his party have
taken in the past on various
controversial issues. The general
thinks this is a lot of poppy
cock and is inclined to feel the
American people think so, too.

lot more to win q blessing as the
administration candidate in the
convention.
The accelerating Kefauver
movement and the failure Of q
real challenge from any other
candidate have intensified the
pressure on Gov. Stevenson. He
is found these days to be q man
much troubled in spirit - the
fate of a man Of sensitivity and
imagination as he ponders the
ordeal of the presidency. His
situation is further complicated
by personal and family consid-
erations as well as the obliga-
tion he assumed to his State
and associates whom he induced
to join his administration. He
emphasized this obligation
when he announced some time
ago that his only intention was
to seek reelection as Governor.
All of this contributes to the
intriguing nature of this strange
case of the man whom so many
would like to see as the party's
candidate and its next Presi-
dent and who now teeters on
that tide in the affairs of men
which. taken at the flood, leads
on to fortune" Though we
would hardly add with Shake
speare about so favored q man
as the omitted, all
the voyage Of their life is bound
in shadows and in miseries."
Nevertheless. the ways Of pol
itics being what they are, 1t can
be said there is not likely to be
another tide so far as the White
House is concerned.
Gov. Stevenson knows that.

Thomas L. Stokes:

The case Of Gov. Adlai Ste
venson Of Illinois has become
the most intriguing Of this con-
fused presidential year and well
may turn out as intriguing as
any that ever has occurred in
our political history.
Here's a public figure to whom
the nomination Of the Demo-
cratic Party is offered literally
on the well-worn silver platter.
This Is primarily because the
gesture comes from the Presi-
dent, the party leader, who Is
in q position virtually to guar
antee it himself. Secondarily.
because President Truman's
manifest opinion that the nli-
nois Governor would be the best
Democratic candidate this par
ticular year is shared by so many
other powerful organization
leaders that the nomination
could be effected. it appears,
without pressures that the Presi-
dent could apply If necessary.
Yet the Governor waverS, and
this curious personal and politi-
cal dilemma has reached the
point where the Governor must
decide soon-or else.
This situation has been dis
cussed frankly with him by .
trusted intermediary Of the
President who has handled many
party problems skillfully. even
If mono quite so obstinate Of
solution. The intermediary found
the Governor now willing to ac-
cept q draft" by the cOnven-
tion, but still with q condition.
This is that he wait until after
the Republican convention be-
fore declaring himself. There
is only q week between con-
ventions.
A draft" as any practical
politician knows. takes time to
arrange. and time is running
out. While politicians are pa
tient. they cannot afford to wait
too long. for delegates often be-
come impatient and are likely
to chase of on their own. That
represents a loss Of control
which is the worst blow any
political leader can suffer.
This Is exactly what some
leaders Ia those States where

Gen. Matthew Ridgway has
some tall explaining to do to

incident and the Korean truce

The Democrats, who are vir-

They are repeatedly tugging at
the reins here and there. That
is increasingly hard to resist:

Kefauver unless the admins
tration offers another hitching
post, and a reliable one. Mayor
Lawrence obviously is becoming
restive. It is known that he is
under pressure from close party
associates in Western Pennsyl-

Gen. Eisenhower is an excel
lent administrator. He believes
in delegating authority to dep
uties, but is mighty careful
about selecting them. Curious
ly enough, his greatest hope Is
that he may contribute some
thing constructive to the rela-
tions between the executive and
legislative branches Of the Gov
ernment. One says "curiously
enough" because it might be
thought that he would confine
himself to administrative prob
lens. On the contrary, Gen.
Eisenhower is interested in new
ideas for improving the execu-
tive'S relation with the legisla-
tive branch. and, if elected, he
is much more likely to be con-
sulting the members of Congress
than has any President in re-
cent years. Certainly the Demo-
Gratis in both the Senate and
House have complained that Mr..
Truman did not take into &C
count their evaluation and ap-
praisal Of public questions. If,
for instance. they had been
consulted. there would not have

Report American
Students Less
Informed OF
World Affairs

New York - Despite a desire
for peace and security in the world,
most American students are indif-
ferent to world problems, the Rev.
James H. Robinson, pastor of the
Church of the Master here, said
last week.
Speaking at a luncheon held in
his honor at the New School for
Social Research, Rev. Robinson,
who recently returned from trip
to Europe, and the Near East,
Japan, Thailand and the Philip
pines, said:
1T is a sad tragedy that these
students who can do more for de-
mOcracy than anyone from the out
side do not get positive creative
help from this country"
Everywhere, he said, he found
a burning interest on the part of
students, in world problems. Even
many convinced Communist stu
dents, he said, wanted to work out
a democratic solution to problems
the world faces.
What we need, he said, is "bold
new positive approach" and a
recognition that the revolution
which is sweeping over the world
cannot be dealt with by "hysterical
lashings out" against Communism.
but rather by turning the enorm-
Gus creative vitality which these
students possess into constructive
lines.
Complaints against Americans,
Rev. Robinson reported, included
race discrimination, our support of
British and French colonization in
Southeast Asia and the Middle
East our curbs on freedom Of
speech, freedom of teaching and
assumption of guilt by association
and the fear which is paralyzing
our country.
