Double Trouble on Home Front
Farmers and City Folks Present Dilemma Of Which
Eisenhower Is Aware, and Which He Must Solve

1T was World War II in
f1ation; then huge American
agricultural exports financed
by our own billions; then still
another burst of imitation
caused by the Korean war-it
was these emergencies, these
calamities, this rampant in
f1ation. that provided the criti-
cal margin for high agricul-
tural prices during the past
decade It was this series Of
events that blurred the basic
problem and deferred the So
luton to later years"
After the First World War
the Republican administrations
of the ls20's never properly as
sessed the seriousness Of the
gradual deterioration that was
going on in our farm areas
because Of the declining prices
caused by market glutS, eSpe-
cially in wheat, despite the
warnings they got in the re-
curing election to Congress
of SpokeSmen of discomfort
who told about the plight Of
the farmer over and over. The
Republican regime only woke
up-and too late for its SAL
vation-when the stock mar
ket collapse of late 1929 showed

ton it foStered and supports.
Such fear would be manifested
in unrelenting pressure on the
executive branch and Congress
whose results could not long
be cancealed from the public.
Already, business spokesmen
and publications are calling
upon the business community
to exercise restraint and wis
dom amid its present disap-
pointmentS.
A series of elections during
the first week in November will
be eagerly watched in WASH
ington for new clues to the
probable temper of Congress
next January. The politicians,
perhaps too volatile, expect the
trend to continue.
The Democratic policy will
be to remain as much as pos
sible on the SidelineS of
the administrations internal
struggles. They hope and ex-
pect to avoid taking reSpon-
sibility for organizing the
Senate even though it now
stands at 48 Democrats, Al
Republicans and one Indepen-
dent.
The President has been
clearly reluctant to practice
the art of politics, preferring
to leave it to his congressional
leaders. It is hard to see how
he can maintain that reluc-
tance next year in view of
present developments.

Allied Control Of q Great Power
Germany Still Remains Under Victors' Supervision,
But Seems Strongest Nation in Western Europe
Constontine Brown

BONN. Germany (By Air
MaiD Germany is admit
tedly once more a great power
probably the greatest in
Western Europe. But she is
still under the nominal super
vision of the victorS in the last
war. Superficial as that super
vision may be, it does offend
the sensibilities Of the German
people.
When you cross the border
from Switzerland the green
clad German immigration off,
GERS are doing their inspection

port control enclosure, proving
to travellers that the officials
of the Western German re-
public are not yet masters in
their own house. The same
is found in the British zone of
occupation.
These outward demonStra-
tions are strictly within the
law. But they are achieving
no useful purpose; they offend
without giving the allies any
tangible advantage.
The obsesSive fears of the
French that Germany is on
the way to becoming the prin-
cipal power in Western Europe
are well founded. Only seven
years ago the Germans were
down and out. Many of their
industrial establishments,
churches, universities and
homes were a shambles. They
have staged the most spectac-
ular comeback known in his
tory. At the same time they
observed the letter and the
spirit of the dictates of the
unconditional surrender.
There is no question that the
Germans have been helped in
their economic recovery by the
United States. This is openly
and proudly admitted by the
people themselves. Factories

privileged to see any similar
indication of gratitude for
Americas good will and gener-
oSity on the many new indus

Of those allied countries.
The Western German re-
public does not claim the title
of great power which has been
extended as a matter of
courtesy to some of her neigh
bors. But she has proven it
to such an extent that even
Prime Minister Churchill in his
recent speech at Margate at
the meeting Of the leaders of
the Conservative Party broke
his previous reticence and ad-
mitted this obvious fact.
Germany is a great power
not only because she has sur
passed all other European ma
tionS in the economic field and
her currency has become as
hard" as that of Switzerland
or the United States, but also
because her last elections have
shown her complete political
stability.
The September elections in
the Western German republic
were held on a strictly demo-
cratic basis. The German peo-
pie expressed themselves freely
and told the world that they
were glad to indorse the peace
policies of their democratic
leaders. At the same time they
gave their government a man
date to continue a policy of
close cooperation with the
United States.

of our peoples in the past, and
particularly the short-lived en-

cultural West now had spread

Since then the Republican
Party has learned the sound
ness Of the theory upon which
the Roosevelt New Deal pro-
ceeded in its agricultural res
toration program and which
President Eisenhower put
thus: "One element of our
Nation can scarcely exist-and
certainly can not prosper-in-
dependent of the Others" At
least it seems that the Repub-
lican Party has learned that
from the promptness with

conSin storm signals without
waiting for all the signs it
got the last time it was in
power and did not heed,
Through the years, the city
consumer has learned that
prosperous farmers are essen
tial to provide a market for
the manufactured goods the
city worker produces and proc
eSSeS. But the consumer has
become curious of late, as a
result of evidence publicized
by the farmers, of the big gap
between the price the farmer
gets and the price the con-
sumner pays. Congress, at it's
last session, specifically for
bade an investigation by the
Federal Trade Commission into
this gap to see what happens
to the consumer dollar, who
takes how much along the line
and how much of the take is
justified. Secretary of Agri-
culture Benson got wind of the
consumer curiosity and recent
ly ordered an investigation by
his departments Bureau of
Agricultural Economics. If
this is only sketchy, or a
whitewash. there are those in
Congress, including Repuhl-
cans, who will insist on a
thorough inquiry by a con-
gresSional committee.
The consumer, it is becom-
ing clear will be heard and
eventually at the ballot box if
prices don't come down. The
administration has a delicate
job of balance in devising a
program that will reaSSure
both farmer and consumer.
OF that President Eisenhower
seemed thoroughly aware in
his rather detailed analysis Of
the problem last week. He
withheld a solution until fur
ther study.

Latest Statistics Of 1852 Vote Appear to Show No Evidence

Representatives than for Pres

Senator Thye, Republican-the
victor in the senatorial con-
test-ran $4,000 votes ahead
of Eisenhower, who also car

In West Virginia, even II
former Senator Revercomb.
Republican, had polled as
many votes as Eisenhower got,
he still would have been
deficient by $4,000. which was
the excess that Senator Kill

Again in Vermont, as in
Minnesota, the Republican
senatorial nominee ran ahead
of Eisenhower. Senator Flan-
ders received nearly 1000 votes
more than Eisenhower.
In Kentucky, John Cooper,
Republican, won the race for
Senator and Eisenhower lost
the State.
In Delaware, Senator John
j. Williams. Republican, ran
about 5000 votes ahead of
Eisenhower, who also carried
the State.
In Missouri, while Ike car
ried the State by 10000 votes,
Stuart Symington, Democrat,
ran $4,000 votes ahead of Eli
Senhower.
In Rhode Island Senator
Pastore, Democrat, ran $4,000
ahead of Eisenhower, who car
ried the State.
In many a State, the unsuc-
cessful Democratic nominee
for Senator or for Congress
ran ahead of Stevenson but
failed nevertheless to over
come the majority vote of the
Republican nominee for Con-
gress. Yet one hasn't heard
much talk about Stevenson be-
ing weaker than his party
The most interesting thing
the statistics show-though it
has happened in almost all
elections heretofore-is that
many voters of both parties do
not take the trouble to vote for
any one except the presidential
nominee, and in most States
it isn't possible any more to
make a single mark and vote
for the entire ticket, whether
it be Republican or Demo-
cratic.
Using round figures, the
total vote for all candidates for
the House of Representatives,
as compared with the total
vote for both Stevenson and
Eisenhower in the November,
1852, election, shows the fol-
lowing number of voters who
in certain States cast ballot
for the presidency but not for
members of the House:

that confronted the Nation and
the Republican Party after the
First World War, though it
was delayed longer after the
Second World War. Partly,
that is because the latter was
a bigger and more destructive
war and it took agriculture
longer to recover everywhere
else and there were more desti-
tute to feed. and so the need
for our food was greater and
the market bigger. Also we
were willing this time to A.
nance on a much vaster scale
the purchase of our own food
by needy nations. Holding as
much of the foreign market
as possible to absorb our sur

to influencing the outcome of

Coo|Heods Needed in Trieste
u Accused Of irresponsible Craftsmanship in the Past
As Well Now in Problem Unsettled for Eioht Years

Despite violent anti-Ameri-
can and anti-British demon
Strations in Belgrade against
the partition of the Trieste
area between Italy and Yugo-
slavia, Marshal Tito is ap-
parently keeping his head on
his shoulders. It is to be hoped
that the Italian government
and people will do the same.
The settlement proposed by
the British and Americans was
not made without sounding out
Marshal Tito, nor without
what was taken to be his con-
sent. Yugoslavia, quite as
much as Italy, needs a settle
ment of the only outstanding
differences between the two
countries.
Each claims the whole ter
ritory and each can produce
arguments to support the
claim.
Ethnographically Trieste
City and Zone A are indubit-
ably Italian, with a minority
of Slovenes. Slovenes would
be in a minority if both zones
were thrown together for a
plebiScite, as Italy suggested
and Marshal Tito rejected.
Taken by itself, Zone B has
an overwhelmingly Slovene
population, though there has
been of course, much inter-
marriage.
Ethnographical considera-
tionS are not, however, the
only ones, and they have been
completely disregarded in
other settlements, for instance,

President Eisenhower's got
double trouble on the home
front, that is, so far as politics
goes.
He's got farmers who are
grumbling because their prices
are falling. Also, though they
are less we'll organized and
vocal, he's got consumers who
add this to the farmers grippe:
Butt not at our grocery
stores"
There are the customary two
horns to the Presidents dilem-
ma-farmers and city folks.
That takes in about everybody
who will vote in next years
congressional elections, and of
the latter the Republican Party
suddenly has become very con-
scious because. of the siren
sounded out in Wisconsin last
week
The Presidents awareneSs of
the consumer. along with the
more vociferous farmer, was
revealed in his Kansas City
speech when he said the prob
lem before him and his admin
istration requires "a program
that will build markets. guard
farm income and protect con-
sumerS."

tration and the Nation face is

The late President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt used to say
that congressional elections
are essentially local" espe-
cially when a presidential
nominee isn't running, and he
lived to see the Democratic
majority in Congress reduced
even when he himself was
running.
The special election in Wis
consin last week, in which a
Democrat defeated a Republi-
can for Congress. is being mis-
takingly interpreted as a sign
that the Republican Party is
not as strong as Eisenhower.
Actually, in 1950-before Ike
ran-the Republicans captured
% out of 26 governorshipS in
the States outside the solid
South. In 1852, the Republi-
can Party again won COVER
norships in nearly all the
Northern States and the vote
in several instances exceeded
what Eisenhower got.
There is no more illuSory
myth in politics than the claim
about a presidential nominee
being stronger than his own
party in congressional elec-
tionS just because his total
vote is larger than the total
vote for Congress. In every
presidential election in the last
half century the successful
presidential nominee has run
ahead of the congressional
nominees except once, and
that was in 1948 when the
Democratic candidates for
Congress generally ran ahead
of President Truman. Very
little was heard then about
Mr.. Truman being weaker than
his party. The election statis-
tics, usually compiled many
months later, attracted very
little attention and did not
Offset impressions of his politi-
cal strength formed after elec-
ton day in November, 1948.
The latest statistics for the
1852 election, which have just
been printed by order of the
Clerk of the House of Repre-
sentatives, if examined care
fully, show that there isn't the
slightest evidence to prove
Dwight Eisenhower was every
where stronger than his party
in November, 1852.
There is evidence that, be-
cause of the separation of bal
lots, hundreds of thousands OF
persons didn't vote for men,
bers of Congress on either
ticket although they did vote
for President. In California,
for instance, $4,000 persons
who voted for President didn't
vote for either congressional
ticket. In New York State,
$4,000 presidential voters
failed to vote for any congress
Sional candidate. Minnesota
was an exception. as nearly
5000 more persons there voted
