These were Frances lack Of

blunt fact that in the last two
wars the country showed cour-
age but a total incapacity to
fight.
France was admitted into
the circle of great powers and
given the right to occupy q
portion of Germany over the
strenuous opposition Of Stain.
President Roosevelt worked
hard for that point and
was lukewarmly supported by
Churchill.
There was o fixation among
American State Department
officials that unless France
had her proper" position In
world affairs there was no
chance Of saving Europe. This

that eventually she would con-

selfish considerations justified
it.
Our diplomats have been
thinking globally. All our allies,
and particularly the French,
have been thinking regionally
and nationally. We seem con-
vinced that a union Of all free
nations is the answer to to-
days dire problems. The
French are thinking only Of
what may be best for France.
Our prestige and influence.
despite everything we have
done for France in the last 10
years, Is at low ebb because the
French people resent our ef-
forts to consolidate Western
Europe. The fact that EDO Is
regarded as a by-product Of
American muddled thinking"
has contributed seriously to
this fading of popularity.
Despite these truthsA our
policy makers still feel 1t their

American taxpayers heavy in

suicide under the American
two-party system. For the

Some Of the Presidents adj
visers seem to be obsessed with
the idea that the campaign
can be won by independents"
plus liberal" Republicans. on
the theory that the Republican
regulars will vote for the ticket
anyhow. They visualize the
independent" as a voter who
in judicial mood passes judg-
ment on all the issues and
listens to ponderous speeches
on the radio and television.
They don't realize that there
are switches" and "stay at
homes" in politics who are af-
fected by deep-seated emo
tional reactions.
The job Of Gen. Eisenhower,
il he wants a Republican Con-
gress, is to persuade the Re-
publican regulars to go to the
polls. Many of them feel now
that the Democrats, with their
conservative Southern backing,
and the Northern Republican
conservatives can do q better
job for the country as a coali-
ton than if the liberal" Re-
publicans who have made
President Eisenhower tn cir
political captive remain in the
saddle.
It's a sad state of affairs for
the Republican Party and,
unless the President faces the
facts realistically and gets
busy in the next ten weeks, he
will go down in history as ex-
periencing the worst midterm
defeat of any President in so
years. Today the unpalatable
truth is that the only I'M
resolved question to be settled
is not who will win the No
vember elections, but how big
the Democratic margin is to
be.

are reluctant to give up any,
thing which they believe be-

be obvious that something"

Several times in the last
three years the State Depart

refused fatty because, they
told US, the Indo- China affair
was strictly their business.

Similarly when we urged
Paris to help US help her by
giving independence to Wet

Eisenhower 10 Defer
Antarctic Claims
By the Associated Press


President Eisenhower reported
ly has decided to defer any
formal claim by the United
States to territory in the antarc-
tic.
Informed officials said yester-
day the President thus went
against an inter departmental
recommendation that such a
claim be made. Gen. Eisenhower
was represented, however, as
feeling the United States should
continue to insist on it's rights
in the South Polar region, where
Americans such as Rear Admiral
Richard E. Byrd have explored.
Longstanding United States
policy is to withhold recognition
of other nations claims in the
Antarctic and to reserve Ameri-
can rights there.

"New-Farm" Corn
All0tments Available

Bluffton area farmers who intend
to plant corn in h955 on a farm
where no corn was planted during
the years 1852, 1858 or 1854 should
apply for ''new farm" corn acreage
allotment if they want any price sup
port or an ACP payment in 1866,
Wilbur V. Bunke, chairman of the
county agricultural. stabilization and
conservation committee said this
week.
Although marketing quotas do not
apply to corn, Bunke explained, un-
der the acreage allotment program,
the production of corn in 1856 on a
farm which has no corn acreage al
lotment would make all the crops
from the farm ineligible for price
support in 1855. Likewise, the pro-
ducer on such farm would be ineli-
gible for any payment under the 1855
agricultural conservation program.
Application forms for "new farm"
corn acreage allotments are available
at the county ASC office. January
Is, 1866 is the last. day such applica-
tions may be filed.
