This column does not moral
ize about what the U. N. should
be. It's limits have been ap-
parent to us since San Fran
cisco. We merely record that
the United States is almost
entirely isolated in it's attitude,
and that the disparity of view
is immensely exacerbated by
the fact that the u. N. is in
the United States.
To put a personal attitude
tersely: We are rather indif-
ferent regarding who is ad-
mitted to the U. NJ, but we are
not Indifferent as to who is
admitted to the United States.
We think the U. N. should
be situated in a small, neutral
country, not in the territory
Of a great power, and especially
not here, where our people are
composed from such a variety
of national origins.
We do not want another
Communist delegation enjoying
extra-territorial privileges in
America. There are many
Chinese-AmericanS and we
don't want America to provide
among them a propaganda
platform for Chinese Com
muniStS.
We don't want America to
withdraw from the u. N, but
we powerfully wish the u. N.
would withdraw from America.
We think everybody Except
perhaps the Communists)
would be happier.

The reasons why the Repub-
lican leadership in the Ohio
Legislature opposed the special
election idea are not clear,
though it is suggested that per-
haps they feared Gov. Lausche,
a strong campaigner, might
make the race himself and win.
It is believed that Mayor Burke
will run for the governorship
in 1854 and Gov. Lausche will
try then for the Senate. If the
Governor wins the seat. it may
put him in line as a serious
contender for the Democratic
Presidential nomination in
1856.
The Republicans in the State
Legislature were certainly
short-sighted. For, even If the
Democrats had won this au-
tumn's election, the party
would be no worse of in the
United States Senate than it
is today with a Democrat, ap-
pointed by Gov. Lausche, TAX
ing Office next January.
A whole session of Congress
and an important one-will
have occurred before the voters
Of the State of Ohio are en-
abled in November, 1854, to
choose a United States Sena-
tor. The people of Ohio will,
therefore, not have in the jan
uary, 1854, session the man
who represents the majority of
the voters.

The impromptu French visit
may have been for a number
of reasons. But the recently
signed agreement between An
kara and Bonn whereby the
Turkish government sold
Western Germany nearly 300,-
900 tons of small grain at
Kansas City prices has un-
questionably worried the
watchful French. Ofhcially
this transaction is for cash.
But in fact it is a bookkeeping
arrangement whereby the
credited amount will be used
by the Turkish government to
purchase heavy mining and
electrical equipment in West
ern Germany.
The French and British
have been worrying for the
last two years about the
recovery of Germany's econ
omy. The German-Turkish
deal, only the first installmert
of a far greater economic ex-
change policy is said to have
alarmed the French who be-
lieve Turkey should be in their
economic orbit because Of past
cultural ties. The fact that
France cannot possibly use
Turkish grains or even to-
baccos did not concern the
French leaders who feel that
they should still be aple to
draw on the past grandeur Of
France. They pointed out to
the Ankara government that
France was in a position to
provide this country with
many Of its industrial needs.
But when the Turkish prime
minister advised the invest
ment of French capital in this
country he was told by M.
Laniel that capital has queer
habits. It goes only where it
can find absolute security"
And the party ended with
warm-hearted communicates,
receptions and dinners which
proved too much for M. BIZ
dault's digestion, and the
Turkish equivalent Of Aud
Lang Syne.

The people Of the State Of
Ohio just a few months ago
demonstrated again that they
wanted a Republican to repre-
sent them in the United States
Senate-but, by the act Of a
Democratic Governor, tn ey
now are denied that privilege
In November, 1852, the
Ohio electorate, by a margin
Of more than $4,000, elected
a Republican senator. Two
years before they elected a
Republican Senator by more
than 100000 majority. Yet the
Governor of Ohio, Frank
Lausche, who is a Democrat,
now exercises his privilege to
choose a Democrat, Mayor
Burke of Cleveland. This is,
of course, a recognized right
of the Governor in of1ce-to
fill vacancieS-but on this oc-
caSion the Republicans in the
Legislature of Ohio have only
themselves to blame for failing
to pass a law requiring that
the vacancy be filled at the
November election this year.
Senator Bricker of Ohio, Re-
publican, who was reelected
last November. urged his fell
low Republicans in the State
Legislature - which happened
to be in session last summer
when Senator Taft died-to
pass such legislation. There
were enough votes to pass the
law but not to override a Gov
ernor'S veto. Gov. LauSche,
however, informally told the
legislators that, while he did
not favor such a bill, he would
not veto it If the Legislature
desired to pass it.

pacts. But Spain has a con-
trolled economy with a COM
paratively few very rich men
at the helm and they are not
likely, in the interests of
democratic theory, to abandon
conditions so profitable to
them, at least not without a
struggle.
In this area everything de-
pends upon Gen. Franco,
his openmindedness his t1exi-
bility and his receptiveness to
the system that has made the
United States the greatest
productive power the world
has ever known. Even his de-
tractors, incidentally, say that
he is completely money honest
and sincere.
The social system is largely
dictated by the state religion.
It is to be spared the impact,
heavily felt by so many coun-
tries, of the American CT, with
his easy ways, his great lone
illness in foreign climes and
his pockets full of money.

lish itself South-wide as a
political factor of consequence.
We are told in dispatches
from Texas, which Gen. Eisen-
hover carried last November
as did Mr.. Hoover in 1928, that
it is the plan to enter Repub-
lican candidates in House and
Senate contests there in the
1854 Congressional elections.
This intention was publicized
in the midst of current efforts
by Republican leaders to capi-
talize on Gen. Eisenhower's visit
to Texas to stir up party en-
thusiasm and intensity organ
ization looking toward next
years elections. Republican
National Chairman Leonard
w. Hall is very active on the
ground, visiting here and there.
Gov. Allan Shivers, who
bolted the Democrats to sup
port Gen. Eisenhower last
year, nevertheless frowns very
much on the Republican at
tempt to entrench the party
at the State and Congressional
level. He sought to dismiss it
with the ironical observation
that the Eisenhower victory OF
last year gave Republicans
"delusions of grandeur" Per-
haps he may recall to the
President, who will stay at his
home in Texas, how it was re-
vealed during the Taft-Eisen-
hover delegate row at the
Chicago convention last July
that many Eisenhower Demo-
Gratis had admitted they would
continue to vote Democratic
in local and State elections.
Regular Texas Republicans in
the Taft camp made much OF
that confession.
The news from Texas
prompted this reporter to in
uuire at Republican congress
sional campaign headquarters
here as to whether Republi-
cans would enter candidates
for Congress generally in the
South next year. The reply
was that this appears doubt
full from present indications,
though the situation might
change. Republicans picked up
four seats in the South last
year, three in Virginia and one
in North Carolina. In addition
there are the two in East Ten
hessee which they have held
for years. Republicans also
hold scattered local offices in
Southern States, but very few
comparatively.
There seems to be q wait

loans and grants statesmen
usually receive when they visit
America.
But Turkey has a strategic
position which makes it i'm
portant to all Western Euro
pean countries. It has also
untapped resources which
might, under certain con-
SiderationS, become desirable
assets for the Western nations.
And since America appears to
lead the field some of our allies
feel that we may need a little
competition at least in the
realm of politics.
The visit of the two French
political leaders stirred up con-
siderable interest, particularly
on the part of the Soviet
ambassador. This reserved
Russian who discusses the
weather and the quality Of the
Ankara water with his Ameri-
can colleagues whenever they
face each other at some official
reception, lost his poiSe when
he heard about the Laniel-
Bidault visit. He was probably
needed by the Kremlin to re-
port the real objectiveS Of this
Partisan team. Soviet political
intelligence in Turkey is nom
existent. There are no "ideol-
ogistS'' in any branch Of the
Turkish government, and the
foreign Office referred his ques-
ton to the official COM
muniques in the newspapers.
At the risk of being rebuffed
by his superiors and being
called q diversioniSt. he ap-
preached a high American
official at an official party,
took him slightly aside and
blurted out, What are these
Frenchmen doing here?"
Whether the American had
any inside dope is a historical
secret. But he did help this
diplomat in distress by tell
ing him that according to his
inside information MeSsrs.
Laniel and Bidault were keenly
interested in archaeology and
Ankara had many highly in
teresting ruins, some of which
still are to be excavated.
The Turks enjoy the diplo-
matte commotion caused by
these calls by foreign officials.
To heighten the interest they

and-see attitude about enter
ing Republicans widely in the
South, that is, wait until after
the newt Congressional elec-
ton. That could be too late.
Republican strategists, how
ever, point out very correctly
the difficulty of getting candi-
dates of the caliber desired
who are ready to break away
from tradition, which would
mean in many cases thwarting
social and business relation
ships of long standing. Ties
with local Democratic organi-
cations are often valuable in
business.
Republicans say very little
naturally of another pressure
against stirring up competi-
ton. This is that many South
ern conservative Democrats in
Congress have been partners
with Republicans in the coali-
ton that was effective against
social and economic reforms
in the latter New Deal years
and all through the Truman
Fair Deal, and it might not be
either wise or polite to offend
these helpers. In fact, South
ern Democrats of conservative
bent are more useful to power
full business and financial in
terests, both in the South and
elsewhere, than would be Re-
publicans from the South; for
the Democrats hold key posts
which it would take new Re-
publicans years to reach under
the seniority system.
This dampens the ardor Of
the crusaders for a strong Re-
publican Party in the South
which is too bad, for it is
needed. The competition would
be a healthy influence, not
only in our national politics,
but also in local and State
politics.

MADRID, Oct. IA. - The
Spanish agreements complete
the Western military ring

a glance at the map shows. 1t
even seals off the North Afri-
can shore since Spain, like
Turkey-and this is forgotten
or overlooked-has real estate
in two continents, Spanish Mo-
rocco being North African.
There are some doubterS in
the Pentagon who think that
Gibraltar in British hands was
enough for the Navy and that
the French Moroccan facilities
were likewise adequate for the
area. However, their voices are
now stilled, at least for the
present.
The political miSgivings in
some influential United States
quarters can be summed up by
an incident here. When the
Spaniards gathered to hail
Gen. Franco on his ami
versary, which also celebrated
the new pact, thousands gave
him the Fascist salute. The
reminder was naturally highly
unpalatable to American and
allied observers, whose duty it
now is to make a fresh start
not tarniShed by memories of
Francois past associations with
Hitler and Mussolini.
What do the Spaniards think
of it all?

instances with respect to MEM
bers of the House of Repre-
sentatives, and it is more in
line with the spirit of the Con-
Stitution to enable the voters
at the earliest possible mo-
ment to elect a Senator of their
own choice than to permit a
representative of the minority
party in the State to cast their
vote in, Congress.
The long delay by Gov.
Lausche in making the ap-
pointment has not been ex-
planned. It could be that the
Ohio Governor waited as long
as possible so as to prevent the
pressure of public opinion from
being effective in demanding
an extra session of the Legis-
lature so that a law could be
passed providing for a special
election this autumn. Certain
ly if the announcement of the
appointment of. a Democrat
had been made in August, pub

had an opportunity to express
itself promptly.
Gov. LauSche has never
given his reasons for deferring
action except to say that the
Congress wasn't going to meet
until January anyway. Re-
Gently legal moves have been
made in court to try to accel-
crate action by the Governor.
The episode will remain as a

record unless explained to the
satisfaction of the people of

jority will has been thwarted
by the delay.

The debate over seating Red
China in the United Nations
hinges on the disparity be-
tween the American view of
the U. N. and that Of the
other powers. a-
The American view, moral
istic and legalistic, is that the
U. N. exists to enforce a
world rule of law" within
which every state shall enjoy
collective security, and pre-
sumably perpetual peace. In
this view, U. N. membership
should logically be confined to
"peace-loving" states prepared
to respect and defend the pro-
visions of the United Nations
Charter. These include a pledge
to act Gin conformity with
respect for obligations
arising from treaties and other
sources of international law"
The American view would
logically confine membership
to a league of good" and
'law-abiding" nations mutu-
ally organized for protection
against dad" and "aggres-
sive" nations. To admit a
nation which has recently
joined forces with an armed
aggressor and has failed to
respect any number of obliga-
tions long established in in
ternational law is immoral.
One such obligation is re-
spect for legally established
foreign properties and ma
tionals. The Mao Tse-tung
