considers himself a great SOL

Premier's concept Of friendly
Americas new administration
was entirely in line with The
thinking Of the MuscoviteS.
The half-hour conversation
between Marshal Stain and
the Indian AMBASSADORS
privileged enjoyed very rarely
even by satellite diplomats in
Moscow-is considered even
more significant than Mr..
Nehru's speech. Ambassador
Menon presented to the U. N.
last fall the Indian proposal
to end the Korean deadlock.
Russia's Foreign Minister vi
shinsky rejected it brutally.
Later Mr.. Menon, in a speech
at Philadelphia. placed the
responsibility for that rejec-
ton on the Western nations,
which he thought had not
shown themselves sufficiently
cooperative, and exonerated
the U. s. S. r.
The Arab-Asian bloc, which
in India plays first fiddle, has
done nothing to help repel the
aggression against South
Korea. India did send, at the
outbreak Of hostilities, one
field ambulance, but withdrew
it after the Chinese Commu-
nists entered the war. Despite
this lack of cooperation with
the other U. N. members, the
bloc has been very vocal since
the fall of 1850. There was no
real objection to the refusal
of that bloc to participate in
the Korean campaign. It was
realized that its members did
not have the military power to
offer even token forces, al
though much smaller nations

clared they had already been
protested, in much the same
terms Mr.. Dulles used, by
the State Department in notes
to the Russian government.
Another argued that the
agreements which have been
transformed into fighting
words in the domestic political
arena were little more than
rhetoric at any time.
Senators with long memories
were agreed on several points
of their own. Much domestic
politics entered in the agree
ments from the start, they
said, especially as Poland is
involved. The Polish vote is
vital in many large industrial
areas in the United States and
it is, like the Irish minority
vote, very sensitive to the woes
of the homeland.
Several were willing to
settle for almost any kind of
decent interment Of the issue
and. would accept a rhetorical
shroud of any dimensions
practically. Their only reserva-
ton was that the interment
ought, by some kind Of gentle
mems agreement, be accepted
as final. This is a difficult
promise in any area susceptible
to mining for votes.

Stevenson Hurt u. S. PrestiQe
Former Governors Reference to Dollar Diplomacy
Proves Thot He Doesn't Know Its True Definition
David LoWrence:

Adlai Stevenson starts on a
trip to Asia soon, and the Eli
senhower administration is
asking American diplomatic
representatives to extend to
him all courtesies. But it
would be a mistake for any
foreign peoples to assume that
the Democratic candidate for
the presidency in 1852 speaks
for the United States Govern
ment.
Mr.. Stevenson, under the
friendly guise of good-natured
quipS and humorous barbs, al
ready has done more harm to
the American cause overseas
than any other critic, inside or
outside the Congress, has done
since the Eisenhower admin
istration took Office. For
tunately. most foreign govern
ments understand that it is the
business of opposition or fac
tional leaders to try to make
political capital as well as to
miSrepreSent the facts of their
own governments foreign poll
cies. This is done regularly in
Britain, France, Germany and
Italy. But what is done by
the opposition party in the
United States is more impor-
tant than what the European
opposition parties say. For
Soviet Russia is in a better
position to capitalize on the
criticisms made here than on
those of Europe.
Without waiting to find out
the truth of what did happen,
Mr.. Stevenson accused Secre-
tary of State Dulles of issuing
ultimatumS to Europa
statement officially denied by
the Secretary himself before
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee last week. The for
mer Illinois Governor went
further with a charge that the
United States, In effect, has a
selfish, material interest in the
money it is spending abroad.
The Moscow Communist prop
aganda machine has been try
ing for months to get evidence
Of this charge. and will not
fail to take cognizance Of what
It will regard inevitably as Mr..
Stevenson's apparent conflr-
nation.

Eisenhower Hits the BuIIs-Eye
Nehru Speech, Stolin-Menon Talk and Statement
BY Arob-Ason Bloc Bare Some True CoIors
Constantine Brown:

The foreign policy speech
made by India's Prime Min
lister Nehru, the talk between
Marshal Stain and India's
ambassador to the U. S. S. r.,
K. P. Menon, and this weeks
statement by the Arab-Asian
bloc that it will not participate
in any actions in Korea-these
show that President Eisen-
hower's policy in the Far East
has hit the bull's-eye. Marshal
Stain is obviously concerned
and is lining up a strong
minority front for the United
Nations General Assembly de-
bate in New York after next
week.
The gentle Mr.. Nehru was
bitter and unkind to our Chief
Executive. He quoted q
French saying that war is far
too serious a business to be
entrusted to a soldier" and
added his own afterthought.
"let alone peace" It requires
no wizardry to realize that
he had Gen. Eisenhower in
mind, since the Presidents
state-of the Union message
was being debated in the In
dian Parliament. Mr.. Nehru
deplored the intrusion of mil
itary mentality into the chan
celleries of the world and con-
sidered this a great danger.

vantages for its businessmen
or bankers or that it is seeking
some special privilege Of a
materialistic nature.
This. of course, is what
Moscow has been saying ever
since President Truman
launched the Marshal Plan
and the Mutual Security as
sistance plan, but it is sur
prising to have a former pres
idential nominee now attach
the name dollar diplomacy"
to the very policies which are
being continued by the new
administration here.
Either Mr.. Stevenson, in his
anxiety to make clever
phrases, didn't look up his
history as to what dollar di-
plomacy" means or he really
believes the Eisenhower ad-.
ministration has some Interior
purpose of a material nature
in its policies of foreign aid.
While Mr.. Stevenson pro-
fessed the greatest friendli-
ness for the new administra-
ton and promised co-opera-
ton, his address, when read
abroad, will be found to con-
tain many sarcastic accusa-
tions concerning the good
faith of the American Gov
ernment in its relations with
European governments.
The opposition parties inside
European countries which
have been playing on the ma
tionalistic and patriotic feel
ings of their own countrymen
in criticizing American poll
cies as those of a bully" will
find in former Gov. Steven
sons attack on his own gov
ernment the very ammuni-
tion they need to help under
mine the Churchill-Ede poll
cies in Britain, and the Mayer
Pleven policies in France and
the Adenauer program in
Germany. It Is a speech that
was lost in the giggles of an
admiring audience of New
Dealers in New York, but it
will be an expensive speech for
America when Moscow and
the anti-American elements in
Europe get through exploiting

Presidents Principal Headaches
They Are Coming From Members of His Own Political Party
congressman Thinking of Next Election, Make Trouble

People in his own party are
giving our new President most
Of his headaches. That is true
particularly Of the troubles be-
ginning to pile up in Congress.
On the whole, the Democratic
Senators and Representatives
have been rather restrained in
their comments on the moves
made thus far by the new ad-
miniStration and, in any case,
they cannot do much more
than comment. But Repub-
licans in the seats of power
can make life very difficult in
deed for the President. Some
are doing 1t.
There is no miStaking the
degree to which Representa-
tive Daniel Reed of New York
has upset the budget-balanc-
ing hopes of the Eisenhower
team in both it's branches,
executive and legislative.
While, for campaign purposes,
they all had declared vigor-
ously for a reduction Of taxes
they had not anticipated that
one of their own number would
take the bit in his teeth and
run away with the tax pro-
gram before they had had
time to talk things over. But
that has happened and nobody
has yet found any sure way
of getting Reed and his Ways
and Means Committee back
into the party corral. They
can keep his tax reduction bill
of the floor for q few weeks
or even months, of course,
through recourse to the Rules
Committee, but that's about
all. 1t will require some mar
velouS political management
to prevent the bills passage
when it comes to a vote. All
predictions are that only the
Senate can put it to death.
The behavior of the House
members who have given the
President this problem Is easily

RACES committed against other
Jews anywhere.
The Soviet bloc and Com
munist press are denying that
their regimes are prejudiced
against Jews as such.
Since the consolidation of
the Communist revolution in
Russia, the expression Of anti
Semitism has been illegal.
There are still Jews in high
positions in the Communist
regimes, although their num-
bers were greatly reduced in
the various purges.
The difficulty of clarifying
the meaning of present actions
arises from equating Jewish
ness with Zionisrn. This coll
umn has consistently held that
the equation was dangerous
for Jews who are citizens Of
countries other than Israel,
and especially Of totalitarian
states. ~
The zionists claim that all
Jews, regardless of their citi-
Zenship, are members of the
Jewish nation, whose home
land is Israel, a secular state
to which they have spiritual
affinities transcending all
others. Jews who have refused
to accept this-and there are
many-are classed by their
Zionist brethren as "rene-
gades." This equation: Juda-
ism equals zionism is not
therefore a charge leveled
against Jews by others, but a
claim made by Zionism and
Israel.
That this claim was bound,
sooner or later, to create a di-
lemma for the Jews behind the
Iron Curtain has been foreSee-
able. The Soviets have been
Systematically stamping out
every center and carrier Of
non-Soviet or anti Russian
nationalism. Uncountable
numbers Of Ukrainians, Balts,
Poles. Czechs, Slovaks, Hun
garians, RumanianS and Bull
gars have perished because
merely suspected Of holding
national aspirations to an in
dependent existence. How,
then. could Jewish nationaliSm,
so openly promoted, expect, in
the long run, to escape the
same attacks? The Commu-
mist Party in Israel itself has
given fair warning of which
way the wind was blowing.
The charge repeatedly
brought against Israel by the
Soviets is that Israel is an
American military outpost. It
is not. 1t would be a bad
military outpost for any great
power, situated as it is. in a
highly strategical area and
surrounded wholly by enemies,
who outnumber its inhabit-
ants more than 80 to l. Yet
this claim repeatedly has been
made by American friends Of
Israel, who have described the
state as having the largest
and most reliable army in
the Middle East, and being
the only outpost and bridge
head of democracy (meaning
American democracy in the
area.

explained. They are still run
ming for Office. A member of
the House Is always running
for the office which he already
holds. Election day is always
less than two years away. A
Senator, for a good part Of his
six-year term, can lean back in
his chair and act like a states
man. If he so desires. Only
during the last third of his
term is he forced to start run
ming again.
Nobody understands these
practical considerations better
than Representative Daniel
Reed. He is now chairman of
the all-powerful Ways and
Means Committee by reason of
having outlasted most of his
Republican colleagues. This is
his 18th term. He knows that
nothing appeals to the average
voter as much as a reduction
in his taxes. Apparently most
Of his committee members
share this knowledge. The
vote for his 10 per cent income
tax slash was 81 to 4, includ-
ing all the Democrats who
voted, save one.

The new Secretary is known

those ringing demands for Irish

In his first press conference,
Secretary of State Dulles con-
f1rmed the fact that the Eisen-

The cream Of the jest is that

What Is happening on tax

examples of how this can be

The statement in the Steven
son speech of last week which
damaged American prestige in
Europe is the following:
II hope I have misread the
signs Of the revival of the dis
credited dollar diplomacy I
hope we are forging no silver
chains"
This comment came in con-
nection with American efforts
to determine whether Ameri-
can billions should be contin-
ued to countries which, If
unwilling to defend them
selves, might bring about
such a state of weakness
as to cause American funds to
be wasted or lost. This was the
same principle applied in the
previous administration. For
Mr.. Stevenson now to level the
innuendo of dollar diplomacy"
is to imply that some new. sell
fish factor has been introduced
by the new administration here
in order to use American for
eign aid to gain improper ends.
The phrase dollar diplo-
macy" is explained in 1.-THE
Boards Basic History Of the
United States" as follows:
Under Theodore Roose-
velt's successor, William How
ard Taft, who had beaten
william Jennings Bryan in
the election of 1908, imperial
istic activity by the President
received another name. Re-
publicans now simply called
it dollar diplomacy The
rose under a new name meant
that it was the duty and
right Of the United States
Government to seek out and
protect opportunities that
would allow American busi-
nessmen to operate freely, in
foreign countries and Ameri-
can bankers to make profit
able loans abroad"
Surely there is nothing in
the Eisenhower -Dulles-Stas-
sen policies of extending aid
under the Mutual Security as
sistance laws passed by the
