President Eisenhower has q
real problem Of unity within
his own party.
It is peculiarly vexing for
two reasons. First. 1t involves
foreign policy in times Of stress
and tension. Second, 1t in
wolves his own Senate leader,
Senator william F. Knowland
Of California.
Senator Knowland's latest
ego 1t alone" adventure. as
you know from recent head
lines, is his demand for with
drawal of recognition from
Soviet Russia because OF the
shooting down of one Of our
planes. Understandable as is
the Senator's reaction to that
affair, which is likewise that OF
the President and the State
Department and our people,
the President believes the
Knowland proposal is not the
way to handle this situation.
He rejected the suggestion.
Just what the President
wrote to his Senate leader is
not revealed. The White House
did not make the Presidents
letter public. Senator Know
land made public his plea to
the President to withdraw
recognition. and before 1t had
reached the summer White
House at Denver according to
James Hagerty, the Presidents
press secretary. That dis
courtesy irritated the President.
as well it might.
His problem, however, Is
much more serious than can
be measured by irritation over
this latest episode. This Is just
one in a series Of Knowland
''incidents" in which the Cali
fornian has intruded in foreign
policy, sometimes taking issue
with administration moves
and always publicly, shouting
from the housetops. You get
the impression Of a running
debate between the President
and his own party leader in
the Senate: that is. If you do
not see it in a more unfayor-
able light-an attempt to di-
rect foreign policy from the
Capitol.

Anonymous G. O. P Leader Predicts Mrs Smiths Reelection
But Thot Race for Goyernorship Will Be Close

But will not the Democrats

to the polls as the Republi-
cans?"
NO" was the reply. Most
of the Democratic votes are
concentrated in the cities,
while the heaviest Republican
vote is in the rural areas
$50 you look for q Repub-
lican victory for Senator and
a close race for GOVERNOR"
That's it, but whether or
not you will be able to con-
strue it as a national trend is
something else. For remember
that Mrs. Smith is a popular
candidate. and while the gos-
sip is that she is provoked be-
cause Mrs. Roosevelt indorsed
her Democratic opponent, she
may still get many Democratic
votes"
"Has the Democratic Party
put up a strong campaign"
"Yes, they have had plenty
Of money for television, radio
and so on"
Where did they get it?"
'"The gossip Is that Averill
Hartman has been helping,
J and some Of his supporters
hope to get Names delegates

Democratic Convention"
So that was the confidential
preview on Maine by a we'll
posted Republican leader after
he had made a private cam
vass of the situation in talks
with local leaders before the
election.

Of the strength of the two
major parties. It is always
worth while examining each Of
the party percentages to see
whether 1t Is above or below

What is said by the partisan
leaders after an election is
usually an alibi If there's a de-
feat, just as an exaggerated
emphasis is given If there's
a victory. So this time a pre-
election forecast is presented
which this correspondent OBJ
tanned from a private CONVEX
sation with an important Re-
publican leader who naturally
didn't want to have his name
used. It will be interesting
after all the votes have been
counted to compare his pre-
election analysis with the
actual totals for each party.
Here is q man who. has held
high Office himself, and who
might be described as q Taft
Republican, and hence not
politically friendly in the past
to Senator Margaret Chase
Smith. who was on the Eisen-
hover side in the 1852 pre-
convention fight.
Mrs. Smith won the sena-
torial race in 1948 by q major
tty Of $4,000, and it was just
about twice as big as the
majority by which Gov. Dewey
carried the State in Novem-
Der. It was twice as big a
majority, too. as the success

Senator had received two years
before.

a scheme that will induce
Frenchmen to build quarters
so far from the cities where
they wish to live. The social
facilities of a French village
are both few and, from an
American point of view, de-

These are the problems of
a cold war army and air force.
A certain reluctance on the

successor in Peiping, but
created the dilemma of pro-
viding no alternative to O

a choice that takes no account
of the most pressing interests
of other powers, including the
United States.
It does not take account
Of the higher interests of man
kind. the first being peace. nor
of the interests of Taiwan. It
involves Taiwan in a struggle
of one Chinese government
with another, neither of which
is desired by Taiwan's people.
It involves the United States
in this struggle. which does not
concern us. All that concerns
us is our Pacific security, and
the security Of all.
Were it not that Americans
blanch at the word Imperial
ism," it would have been far
better for all the interests con-
cerned If the United States
had established a straight pro-
tectorate over Taiwan until the
Southeast Asian situation
should settle down. AS it is,
we have become prisoners of
a self-createG situation, risk
ing being drawn into a futile
and unlimited war for a cause
without interest to American
security, or of eventually
withdrawing and leaving the
field to a dynamic enemy.
The necessary and ineluc-
table defense of Formosa (ask
the Philippines) would not in
volve warfare beyond its bor-
ders, if the object of the United
States were only to assure its
own Pacific defense and to
contribute to the peace and
welfare of mankind. .
But it does involve breaking
the fetters forged by the i'm
pulsive actions of our own
leaders, committing us into
the present impasse.

and Secretary Of State Dulles
have made much Of "biparti-
sanship" in foreign policy, with
overtures to the Democrats
that hardly seem necessary in
view of their cooperation dur
ing the whole Of the SD Con-
gress. What seems to be more
needed is what might be
called "unipartnership" a
word may be coined; that is,
some unity within the party
which is responsible for con-
duct of the Government now,
at least among its congress
sional leaders.
What has been happening
could not but draw such
criticism as that Of Adlai
Stevenson in his Harrisburg
speech last week, to wit:
"Is 1t the Knowland foreign
policy we are to supporter
the Dulles foreign policy-or
the Nixon foreign policy-or Is
there q White House policy?
If there is, you can be sure 1t
will need Democratic support,
like most White House poll
cieS."
The "team-play" on which
the Eisenhower administration
puts so much emphasis is
sadly lacking on foreign policy.
OF all places, that is where it
is urgently needed now.
It can be said that Senator
Knowland's Interpretation Of
his role as administration
leader in the Senate is unique
so far as recent history goes.
During the two previous Demo-
cratic regimes we were never
treated to the spectacle Of an
administration leader rising in
his place and telling of the
President and Secretary Of
State on vital issues of foreign
policy. There were occasional
differences of opinion, yes.
between White House and
congressional leaders, and
maybe rumblings. But, for the
most part, this was in private
and the differences were ironed
out in private and policy was
carried out and implemented

our allies abroad confidence.

increase in ordinary day-by-s
day contacts with Russia and
her people.
They climax their plea for
such an approach by citing the
terrible costs certain to ensue

war-trillions of, dollars in
wealth destroyed and the al
most inevitable destruction Of
the social and political struc-
lures of the world. ending in
chaos from which only q total
itarian rule could possibly ex-
tricate mankind.
Thus on the basis of fear,
and Of the shimmering promise
of a peaceful trade, which in
itself is based on fear, our
allies attempt to persuade us
to abandon our uncompromis-
ing stand against Red con-
quest. And failing in their
attempt to persuade, they will
inevitably pursue their NON
antagonistic" policies them
selves. leaving the United
States more and more iso-
lated from the present and
future fate Of Europe.
There are no indications,
however. that any of our top
policy makers are ready to ac-
cept the picture painted by
the architects of the new ap-
peasement. The United States
seems headed for a hemi-
spheric defense system en-
bracing all the Pacific to Japan

recourse If Western Europe
