past administration. We can
not possibly expect to operate
during the fiscal year 1854 at
the level which this admin
istration itself would have fixed
if it had been in control. The
Eisenhower administration will
not have a really free hand
until the year which begins
July /, 1854.
II cannot in this letter dis
cuss all the single criticisms
which have been pointed to the
Eisenhower administration.
However, there can be no doubt
about the sincerity of their ef-
forts, and the public will have
to remember that progress is
necessarily slow, because they
have taken over a tremendous
job. The Federal Government
is ten times the size of the
Government in 1888 which is
the last time there was a COM
plete change in administra-
ton"
It is known that Senator
Taft had the highest admira-
ton for George Humphrey,
now Secretary of the Treas
ury, and it is. an interesting
coincidence that the prophecy
in the letter to Mr.. Keinath
should, just four months later.
begin to be fulfilled. For Mr..
Humphrey is just now giving
the country the best news it
has had on the fiscal situation
since the Eisenhower admins
tration took Office.
The Treasury says now that
the budget for the current
fiscal year, which ends June 80,
1854, will not have the deficit
of $9.9 billion which President
Truman formally predicted in
his last message to Congress
on that subject, but that it
will be even less than the $6.6
billion which President Eisen-
hover forecast three months
ago. For the latest deficit fig
ure given by Secretary Humph-
rey is $3.8 billion.

Fight Over Air Force
Expected as Legion
Opens Convention
By the Assoeiosed Press

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 81. - The
American Legion officially opened
it's 35th annual convention today
with sharp fight in prospect
over Air Force budget cuts by the
administration.
Lewis K. Cough, Of Pasadena,
Calf, the Legion's national COM
mander. told convention dele
gates in his report that while the
proposed 1854 budget gives the
Air Force only ia wings, %
wings have been added to the
Air National Guard and Air Re-
serve.
"Over-all, greater combat
strength should be realized
through a reduction in leadtime.
better utilization of personnel and
equipment and by the elimina-
ton of waste and duplication"
Mr.. Cough said in his report pre-
pared for delivery.
Can Air Force wing is COM
bat group plus nontactical
groups for supply, maintenance
and such. Leadt1me is the
length of time it takes for the
letting of contracts until a
plane is ready for use)
Report Is Adopted.
The Legion'S National Secur-
ity Commission. headed by
Thomas E. Paradine Of New
York, adopted without opposi-
ton, however, a report calling
the present Air Force inadequate
and especially short Of replace
ment crews for the Strategic Air
Command.
The Legion's National Execu-
tive Committee, meeting late
yesterday. merely received and
filed" the report without debate.
Joe Hodges, past department
commander of the Legion in Vir-
ginia, said the Virginia delega-
ton will try on the f1oor-prob-
ably WedneSday-to get the Le-
gion to fight for restoration of a
143-wing Air Force.
The funmaking actually start
ed yesterday with the 40 & 8
parade, a two-mile-long spec
tacle. Police estimated that
$4,000 persons lined the two
mile route to watch the "loco-
motives" and "box cars" rem
iniscent of France of 1918.
Pretty high-prancing major

The spectators did their best

support personnel.
Speaking on foreign relations.
Mr.. Cough said he was pleased
to note that many recommended
tons of the Legion's Foreign Re-
lations Commission on Far East
ern Policy, toward the United
Nations, and in regard to par
ticipation in European defense
"have now been accepted and
implemented by the present ad-
ministration."

them. They are told, correctly
insofar as the bare facts are
concerned, that the U. S. S. r.
was the first power to recog-
nize the first Italian govern
ment after the fall of fasciSm.
This is true.
Comrade Stain sent full
fledged ambassador to the
Badoglio government in 1914
without consulting or notify
ing his American and British
allies who had decided against
a formal recognition of that
government. Washington and
London Smarted under that
double-cross but could do
nothing about it.
A recent Moscow broadcast
informed the Italian people
that "the Soviet Union has
always defended Italian ma
tional sovereignty. At a time
when the United States was
planning to sever Sicily from
Italy, it was only the prompt
intervention of the U. S. S. r.
which prevented the plan from
being put into practice"
This is. of course, all poppy
cock. Soon after the war a
well-known Sicilian brigand
obtained a good deal of sup
port from the Sicilian popula-
ton against the authorities
by claiming that he wanted
that island to secede from
Italy. And since American dol
lars were popular, he insisted
he wanted to place Sicily
under American protection or
make it into a 49th state of
the Union. All this was treated
as a huge joke by the Ameri-
can authorities here and in
Italy.
The latest propaganda which
is said to have made quite an
impression on the Italian peo-
pie was the broadcast from
Moscow that lone of the best
examples of Soviet friend
ship toward Italy was the

like Topsy through the years.
with a view to Stream-l lining
it and, if possible, getting more
revenue.
What the great rank and file
of taxpayers, who bear most
of the burden, should be con-
cerned about is that revision
of our tax system also be fair
and equitable; hat present
gross inequities by which many
of our top bracket taxpayers
evade their just share be
eliminated, and that no new
curlecues that are unfair be
slipped into the law.
In the last category is a
general sales tax which is now
being limited at recurrently by
Secretary Of Treasury Hum
phrey.
It is hard to take Secretary
Humphrey seriously. He has
a reputation as a perceptive
man who should know from
long experience something
about the economic facts of
life faced by the overwhelm-
ing majority of our people.
They know from the simple
arithmetic by which they try
to make their incomes go
round, especially at this time
when the cost of living has
reached an all-time peak, how
unfair and discriminatory
would be a sales tax, as it
would take for the necessities
of life a much larger proper
tion of their income than it
would from the well-fixed.
In view of that, how does
Secretary Humphrey expect
Congress to do what it has
refused to do before, and with
prices the way they are, and
on top of city and State sales
taxes?

Dorothy Thompson
IdeuIisn Versus World Politics
Writer Says Our y. N. Allies Want Detente With Reds
By Negotiation Not by Intensified Cold War

small states or combinations of
them cannot coerce principal
powers by votes, that there is
no way of enforcing the
world law" which Mr.. Dulles
envisages, except by war, and
that peace cannot be sustained
except by agreement between
the great powers on primary
issues in areas where all are
involved.
In such areas world peace is
achieved, not by the success
of one or the other in enforc-
ing it's own concepts and poll
cies, but by the diplomatic
capacity of the powers already
implicated mutually to extri-
cate themselves without seri-
Gus menace to the security of
either party. This is the issue
in Korea and in Germany.
And this is the issue divid-
ing the allies. Our allies want
an all-out effort to arrive at a
detente with Communist Rus
STA and China by means Of
negotiation, rather than by in
tenSification of the cold war.
Our allies have limited OBJ
jectives: ours appear to them
unlimited and impossible -
with or without war.
AS a result. the two-power
system is breaking up, with
more defections from our side
than from the Soviet bloc.
The defectors are not going
over to the Soviets. but striving
to find a middle way, mac
curately described as neutral
ism," which should not be con-
fused with the rejection of one
form of action in favor of
another.

to involve us in war with the
British on behalf of the Irish.
The latter won without our
help, though not all they de-
street.-The unif1cation Of all
Ireland.
Thus, great world conflicts
have been avoided, not by a
uniform world of law" and
not by application of the the
ory that "a threat to one is
a threat to ALL" but by recog-
milton of all the great powers
that each had peculiar inter-
ests in certain areas, where
another great power would not
intervene. Such recognition of
q primary American interest
in the Western Hemisphere
has been accepted by all great
powers since the Monroe Doc
trine. Peace has been kept by
the exercise of great power
restraint; and by the mutual
isolation of secondary con-
f1icts.
The above is a comment on
the speech of Secretary of
State, Mr.. Dulles, before the
American Bar Association last
Wednesday. Mr.. Dulles thinks
the IN. charter should be
changed, insofar as the COM
position of the Security Coun-
Gil assumes agreement between
the great powers. 1t is demon
strably true that a wartime
great power coalition is un-
likely to hold together, once
the reason for the coalition is
removed.
1t also is true that great
power agreement on every issue
in every area of the world can
not-and never could-be an
ticipated. But 1t is a fact that

Every prolonged period OF
world peace of which history
has a record has existed only
when the leading powers were
in general agreement and Suf-
ficient equilibrium.
At no time have such great
power agreements prevented
conflicts between smaller
states, or between great states
and some of their neighbors,
and at no time have they pre-
vented civil wars-changes in
the internal structure of states
brought about by force.
World peace. like life itself,
has always been precarious.
but it has been maintained
only when the great powers
set limits upon their interven-
tionS.
When Charles Francis Ad-
ans was Ambassador in Lon
don during the American War
Between the States, the pre-
eminent question was whether
Great Britain, whose Sympa-
thies and economic interests
were with the South, would
intervene in it's behalf. Had
not the more levelheaded ad-
visers prevailed, the American
Civil War might have been
changed into an international
war OF worldwide involve
ment.
The Franco-Prussian War of
1870 did not become a world
conflict because no great pow
er intervened, and because
Bismarck fought a war for
strictly limited aims.
The Anglo-Irish war of the
'twenties remained an isolated
conflict for the same reason,
and despite some hotheads in
