The present Communist

In this they are definitely sup

the South Korean republic.
These are the main factors
which render difficult an ac-

aggression in the Pacific. But
1t is not difficult to evaluate
the intentions of the enemy.
These are that unless we with

their aims which at present
are: The conquest of Formosa
and the "unification" of Ko-

DENVER, Colo. President
Eisenhower is under heavy
pressure from congressional
Republicans to step up his
part in the campaign. So far
he is resisting it.
The President has only two
speeches scheduled between
now and the election. One
next Friday at a campaign
rally here will be frankly and
vigorously political. The other
is a vote appeal on election
eve.
Actually. the President is
caught in the switches be-
tween G. O. P. members of
Congress and his own staff
and cabinet. The former say
they must have his help be-
cause the trend is against
them. The latter are unwill-
ing to risk the Eisenhower
prestige in what has histori-
cally proved to be a losing
venture.
The same field reports which
induce desperation among the
candidates for Congress only
harden the feeling among his
own people that the President
should be extremely cautious
about throwing his whole
weight into the scales. They

Thus Donald MacLean who
was in charge Of the so-called
American desk in the British
Foreign Office, handled most
all of the secret and confiden-
tial messages which went from
the Washington Government to
Great Britain in the intimate
consultations which were 60

spect to the conduct of the
Korean war.
When MacLean fled with
Guy Burgess. another Commu-
mist in the British diplomatic
service, to somewhere behind
the Iron Curtain, Dean Ache
son, then Secretary of State, Is
reported to have exclaimed to
a newspaperman who told him
the news: MY God, they knew

Since Messrs. MacLean and
Burgess stayed on the job in
London until May Is, 1851,
they were in a position

of 1850 and the winter months

matter of fact, has needed

never took any interest in off,

this November.
This explains a routine
through which Senator Know
land of this State, Senate ad-
ministration leader, goes as he
makes campaign speeches
about this State. At some
point or other he takes time
out to insist that Democrats
are loyal and patriotic citi-

Party.

might be surprised to find
out that some voters regard
this as reason enough to give

First, Of course, there was
the President himself, selected
to lead the task force because
of his acknowledged ability to
lead, and his unparalleled ex-
perience in solving great
problems.
Around him. the President
gathered a dedicated team of
men and women of outstand-
ing ability who believed as he
did: in the dignity and rights
of free Americans, in integrity,
efficiency and thrift.
Alongside him, too. stood
the leadership of the 83d Con-
gress, the policy-makers who

and honest conservatism in
economic affairs.
The record shows what hap
pened in the brief time span
between the inauguration on
January 20, 1853. and the ad-
journment of Congress on
August 20. 1854.
The Korean conflict ended
after costing the United States
$4,000 casualties, and SIS bill
lion from the National treas
ury. Subsequently, President
Eisenhower had made it plain
he would never carry this
country into war without full
consultation with the Con-
gress. On more than 100 occa-
sions the President and the
State Department in those 20
months have conferred with
leaders of both parties and
both houses.
The world is at peace for the
first time in IL years. We must
not underestimate the threat
that will exist to the peace of
the world as long as the inter-
national outlaws of the Com
munist conspiracy are on the
loose. We believe, however,
that this administrations pol
icy of strength militarily, firm
ness automatically, and COOL
ness In crises Is the one which
has the best chance of gaining
our great objective of peace
without surrender.
At home. we live in fullest
assurance that all possible
safeguards have been built
against the kind of subversion
which made a shambles of
domestic security in the locust
years during and after World
War II. Together, this ad-
ministration team has evolved
a hard-hitting program that
forged potent legal weapons
designed to destroy the Com
n1unist conspiracy.

ton has become tinged with

the Grim Piper must be paid.
Somehow the crazy-quilt pat
tern Of quick spending for un-
productive things must be
transformed into an Ineligible
system for the future. This
was a major chore for the
Eisenhower administration. It
has been accomplished with
minimum disruption Of our
great industries, our labor,
force. and our citizenry in gen.
eral.
We have meanwhile built
into our new-found peacetime
economy solid guarantees
against difficult times, and we
have reduced taxes by SIS
billion, largely by chopping $l1
billion from the Federal Gov
ernment's previously planned
spending.
Others who will contribute
to this series will describe the
immense forward strides taken
in the field of human welfare.
in fiscal streamlining and
modernization, and pioneering
the peaceful use of atomic
energy in agriculture, and re-
storing to the States their
historic rights.
AS these achievements flowed
into the record, the philosophy
and the thinking behind them
became abundantly clear.
The Eisenhower administra-
tion and the Republican SD
Congress hold firmly that
Americans are not units to be
regimented. They value their
freedoms, their chance to
grow and prosper. their right
to make their own decisions
about their own affairs.
We know that there is much
more to be done under this
new-found concept in the two
years ahead of us. We say
two years because the con-
gressional biennium is the Pc
riod we necessarily must use
to measure governmental and
political progress.
Here in conclusion are 10
basic principles of the Eisen-
hover administration. as I see
them, which will guide us
through this difficult, but chal-
lenging, era:
/. We believe in the impor-
tance of the individual and in
equal opportunity for every
American.
2. We recognize that our ma
tional welfare demands GER
tain indispensable social serv-
ices to insure against personal
disaster.
8. We dedicate ourselves to
the good of all citizens, not to
any particular segment of
them.
4. We are determined to
bring efficiency and integrity
to our Federal Government so
1t will gain honor at home and
respect abroad.
S. We hold that a sound
money policy will preserve eco
nomic stability and protect
the peoples savings.
6. We have lasting faith in
local initiative and RESPONSE
bility, except in those special
areas where Federal Govern
ment alone can act more eco
nomlcally ana effectively.
Z. We believe in the incen-
tives that generate the crea-
tive growth of the American
economy.
8. We know that a positive,
firm and consistent foreign
policy will discourage aggres-
sion and encourage peace.
8. We will maintain our ma
tional defenses at the highest
levels consistent with our eco
nomic ability.
10. And, finally, we trust in
Gods providence as the ulti-
mate source of the dignity and
freedom Of man.

Eden Serves Notice
Big 4 Talks Success
Depends on Soviet
BY the Assoeiased Press

LONDON, Jan. IL. - Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden declared
last night that Britain "can
never abandon" the allied posi-
ton that free alderman elec-
tions must precede reuniflcation
Of the divided. occupied country.
His statement, on a national
radio broadcast two weeks before
the Big Four foreign ministers
are scheduled to meet In Berlin,
served notice that progress in the
talks would depend on Russia's
changing her fixed policies.
The SovietS have held out for
formation of a provisional gov
ernment as the first step toward
reuniting Germany. They insist
also that East Germany should
have the same representation in
such a regime as more populouS
West Germany.
Can't Agree on Site.
In Berlin, representatives Of
the three Western powers and
the Russians still were unable to
agree on a site in the divided city
for the January Is ministerial
conference. After three days of
meetings. the representatives of
the four powers recessed early
this morning until tomorrow.
Mr.. Eden said the West must
insist on free Germany-wide
elections "for that is the only
method by which we can get a
representative German govern
ment with which the four powers
can discuss a German settle
ment."
It would be a reasonable re-
quest" he continued. if the Rus
slams asked for assurance"
against possible revival of Ger
man aggression.

ready have got some far-reach-

rity." the British leader said:

Gu String Quartet Achieves

"Archduke Trio" The opening

pianist. The phrase is one of
the greatest in strength, nobility
and simplicity. Having sculp-

Beethoven sets it forth without
a single note of distracting OF
mitigating introduction or en-
bellishment. Woe to the pianist
who is unsure of himself in the
face of big things!
Mr.. Meyers was not, and the
opening ushered in a perform
ance of one of Beethoven's most
magnificent works that was as
inspired in concept as 1t was
impeccable in realization. The
unique sound of the pages of
trills and pizzicato notes in the
first movement, the three moods
of the scherzo, the introspective
variations that act as a prelude
to the boisterous flnale-the
three players made them all
come alive in the truly grand
manner the "Archduke Trio"
requires.

question the "obscurity" of the
development of the violin itself,
or the assertion that "the violin
sang alone for two centuries in
the solo sonata" (1550-1750).
Unfortunately. this continues the
fallacy that the baroque solo
sonata" was written for violin
alone. Actually, the form usual
ly implied a keyboard continue
accompaniment: and, while
much music was written for solo
violin before Bach, this was
hardly the violin's only or even
chief medium.
Certainly, Mr.. Perl is right in
pointing out the growing neglect
of the solo instrument from the
late 18th century through the
entire 18th century of romantic
cism, with its ever-growing PEN
chant for grandiose masses of
sound. 1t was left for Max
Roger. an ardent student and
admirer of Bach, to resurrect
interest in writing for the violin
alone. Though his works for
the medium have been followed
by important contributions from
Hindemith, Bartok, Prokof1ef and
others, they can scarcely be
claimed to have started a new
era of solo violin composition.
The performance of a whole
concert of music for a solo
melody" instrument requires
the utmost in technical re-
source and finesse. as well
as considerable courage. It
is not enough, unfortunately.
to declare that certain music
is a summit" or another work
is monumental"
Mr.. Perls playing shows dis
cernible traces of a pure. pleas
ant tone, and a past adeptness
in executing double stops. Other
wise, though, his approach to
the manifestly difficult job Of
an entire evening of solo violin
music is no longer convincing
as an appeal for the medium.
