EDUCATION

WITHIN A RELATIVE short period, in tact, less thar
two weeks, many natives of these Islands will receive degrees
in course in American colleges and universities. Each year
the number is increasing, as are the fields pursued We know
of nothing more assuring of the future of these Islands.
- EDUCATION IS no longer a luxury to be pursued and
enioved by the few who could afford. Education and an en-
lightened public are very essential to democracy. Without
it the people become victims of any sort of propaganda the
dictators decide is best. 1t is for this reason that one of the
firsts stseps taken by any dictator is the full and complete
control of all means Of public thought-preSs, radio, the pub
lie platform.
AS FINE PASSES natives find themselves in many en-
deavors and many colleges. Some, of course, will follow the
attraction Of the mainland or elsewhere, but there will be
those who return to give of themselves and their knowledge
to the development of these Islands. These are the ones who
must bring new light, and hope, and vigor to our way of life,
mixing what they learned with some of the charm and tradi-
tons of the more c~omplacent ways and mores.
AND AS KEENER interest is developed, more and more
will parents look upon their presence at graduations as a
matter of course, and find the means to see their dreams
come true, Many parents are doing just that this year, among
them being MI. & Mrs. Ralph de Chabert, who will be
among the spectators at Howard University commencement,
and Mrs. Mildred Harrigan, at Hampton,
d WITH H passage of time, and with more natives re-
garding seriously their preparation for service, the type of
misgiving and fear expressed by certain continentals as to
natives taking an active part in local government will certain
" disappear. The bigotted desire to curb so-called native
power will seem ridiculous because there will be the ability
and the know-how.

Plain Talk From Eisenhower
President Tells Moscow and Peping Thot This Country
Will Not Meet Any New Aggression With Kid Cloves

the end Of the last war. The
difference is that while we let
the Nationalists down at the
crucial moment. the Soviets
are supporting the Red Chi
nese militarily and politically.
President Eisenhower is
aware that Asia is the place
where we may have to face an
early Communist aggression.
AS a former professional SOL
dier, he has decided not to
pussyfoot on this subject. He
chose the United States Con-
gress as a forum whence to
warn the warmongers that If
Asia becomes the theater Of
operations to cinch Communist
domination Of the world, we
will retaliate with every means
at our disposal.
1t was the reluctance Of the
United Nations to permit us to
use our full air superiority

communication and supply

Yalu River that is responsible

Korea. Gen. Douglas MacAr-

mander in the Far East, strong
ly protested the strategy of the
civilians in the u. N. who made
the Chinese territory across the
North Korean border into an
inviolable sanctuary.
Some of the lines of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's message had
a MacArthurian tinge-not in
form but in content.
Although the Presidents ex-
perience in the Far East is
limited to his tour of duty as
chief of staff to Gen. MacAr-
thur in the Philippines before
Pearl Harbor. he realizes that
any double-talk on military
matters is worse than saying
nothing.
The President has received
well-Screened intelligence re-
ports showing that there are
certain preparations in North
Korea and Manchuria which
could indicate another surprise
attack by the Reds. And he
decided to warn them that this

really to justify the original

President was bluntly chal-

week was his defense cuts. He
chose his words carefully on
that vital topic Thursday, but
they were sufficient to indicate
that he Is using his majestic
authority in the military field
to make decisions far more
momentous than a merely fiscal
maneuver.
AS Senators studied his re-
marks carefully. they decided
that the new look" at the
Pentagon was all nuclear: that
all the armed forces would be
built around nuclear weapons
of all kinds. The President
spoke of ''the great and grow
ing number" of these.
This being so, it is a virtual
admission that this country
could never agree now to any

danger is greater from inter-
nal inf1ltration or from mill
tary aggression, the Europeans
thinking the former more
menacing.
But friendly critics also
question American means of
dealing with Communist infll-
tration-chiefly by public ex-
poSure and police methods.
Apart from what liberals here
call "pillorying the innocent"
and witch hunting" more
penetrating critics find such
methods too superficial. The
methods employed to "root
out Communists" do endanger
constitutional processes and
thus undermine moral and
legal authority. But, in addi-
ton, they are largely ineffec-
tive because they only super
ficially appraise the problem.
They do not take it seriously
enough.

ceive the law to be. Plato
taught the law according to
which change leads to decay.
This meant that the best So
ciety would be the one most
secure against change, a phi
losophy leading to aristocratic
totalitarianism. Marx taught
that all history is a record of
class struggle. that there is a
master class tthe proletariat)
which no reform can obliterate,
which must Inevitably seize
power, and that communism is
the inevitable expression of
that class.
The Communist is that man

Despite the overwhelming

peoples west of the Elbe River.

New Look School Of Politics
Drama Of 1854 Seen Pttng Show-Business Technique
OfG. Q. P. Against Democrats ProcticoI Know-How

In the "new look" school of
politics Of the Eisenhower
administration much reliance
Is put upon the techniques of
the slick magazine, the adver-
tising agency and show busi-
ness. The first two are used
in preparation of speeches for
the President, the last in radio
and television staging to get
the proper effects for his per-
Sonal appearances.
The best talent in New York
advertising firms, as well as in
radio and television, has been
made available and is utilized.
The techniques and it's direc-
tors have been carried over
from the 1852 campaign-in
fact from the last several
campaigns; that is, in all but
the comparatively new me-
djum, televiSion.
We can see clearly now the
application to the Eisenhower
administration and its peculiar
problem. The peculiar prob
lem is to get out of a closely
divided Congress enough of a

Of enough voters next Novem-

more troublesome because of
disaffection within Republican
ranks. with powerful indi-
vidualS and influential groups
pulling at cross purposes from
the administration.
How meet this problem? We
find the answer in the pro-
lection of the President, him
self, Eisenhower the man,

that somehow the party be-

image and its dissident ele-
ments and its discord are thus
subdued. or at least that is
the hope. In turn the IKE"

Nobody, after reading Presi-
dent EiSenhower's message on
the state of the Union. will be
able to say his administration
is lacking in ideas-dif1icult as
1t may prove to be to put most
of them into effect. For Mr..
Eisenhower in his address to
Congress touched on every
conceivable subject of major
Importance on which there
can be legislative or executive
action.
But in most instances the
President didn't give details
or a bill Of particulars. He
promises these details in a
series Of messages on separate
subjects, all to be delivered at
different times during the rest
of January.
The average man cannot
grasp the meaning of all the
topics covered in a presidential
message on the state of the
Union. He can only get the
feel of things. And the best
way to describe the feeling to
be derived is to say that the
President is conscientiously
and earnestly struggling to
find solutions to a never
ending series of dilemmas at
home and abroad.
A presidential address isn't
q piece of legislation. Hence,
1t necessarily is written in i'm
plicit phrases. These phrases
nevertheless give a hint of
what's coming.
Mr.. Eisenhower refers to
1858 as "the most prosperous
year" in the Nations history.
But much depends on what is
meant by prosperous" A
flush of fever gives the face a
look of health. but it conceals
an illness. The prosperity"

emergency.
Neither is it likely that we

and type of weapons we should
use to nip a new aggression
in the bud. Since such a

emphasized the necessity for
this Government to continue
to support militarily and
economically the Chinese Ma
tionalist government at present
in Formosa. =,
The Nationalists have a mill.

men, with one-third that num-

even the 100000 trained and
equipped Nationalists could
create more than a mere di.

land If they were provided with
the necessary transports and
air support for amphibious
operations.
Gen. Eisenhower's reference
to military and economic sup
port to the government in
Formosa spelled out this STRAIT

substantially the hard-pressed

history and the huge structure
of logical reasoning that has
been erected to support it.

not those who have never read
