four separate blocs or parties
and the labels by which they
may be described are by no
means conceded to be accurate.
There is in the Congress a
small conservative group
not over 10 per cent. The
real majority is a "conserva-
tive liberalp group as diff
ferentiated from a radical
liberal" group.
The conservative liberals"
comprise at least Is to 20
Democrats and more than 40
Republicans. The radical
liberals" are to be found in
the Democratic Party only.
though it might be that one
or two Republicans would
join that bloc on certain issues.
The radical liberals can
not command 20 votes out Of
the So on any really extreme
issue.
The Republican Party has
been described by a witty
Democrat in Congress as being
as liberal at least as the con-
servative wing of the liberal
party, which to him is the
Democratic Party. But. which
ever way the various pieces of
legislation are classified, it is
obvious that any one who tried
to make a liberal" or radical
or conservative" category out
of such a tangled question as
the farm problem would wind
up with no agreement on
terminology from any quarter.
The fact is that in this seS-
sion OF Congress the farm
problem, like the tariff prob
lem of old. has become a local
issue. If you pick out the
State and its products, you
can tell how the delegation
will line up. irrespective of the
party label. The same still
holds true Of the tariff.
Also, on labor-law amend
ments. it is not always pos
sihle to classify members of
Congress by any theological
terms. Certain amendments,
such as a compulsory closed
shop for all industries. will not
be voted for except by a small
minority of radicals.
On foreign policy, party lines
have always broken down. To-
day there are virtually no "iso-
lationists" in the sense in
which the term was used in
the 1920s. Almost every one

of congressional sanction re-
quired by the amendment. Nor
is this the time, of all times, to
impede direction of foreign
policy just when We have de-
termined to base that policy
on mobility of military action.
The issue is of paramount
public interest, yet the public
apparently knows little of it
yet, judging from the Gallup
poll showing 81 per cent Of our
people are not familiar with
the proposed change in our
Constitution. That is under
Standable. It is to be hoped,
however, that this will be rem
edied and that the public will
inform itself and rally to sup
port the President against a
jealous minority which is max
ing almost a religion out of
the amendment.
The Bricker amendment
frenzy Is strange phenome-
non, but perhaps in tune with
the strange times. It seeming
ly has become an outlet for the
Illustrations of many Of our
people, the multiplying disap-
pointments that there still is
no peace in the world, that the
burdens Of taxes still must be
carried to carry the burden of
armaments, that the United
Nations cannot itself solve all
the problems. that our allies
themselves do things that dis
please us.
This spirit of Illustration
found a target in the Teheran,
Yalta and Potsdam agreements
of the Roosevelt Truman era

name from Republican pum-
melting day after day, and this
: has been enough to create sus-
picion and distrust of agree
ments and treaties. Senator

Brokers Plan and Eisenhower
Senators Viewed Voting No Confidence in Themselves
In Letting 48 State Legislatures Run Foreign Affairs

DO you want your foreign
relations run by 48 govern
ments or by one?"
President Eisenhower is pre-
pared to take this question to
the American people by every
channel open to him in a last
ditch fight against the Bricker
amendment. The amendment,
sponsored by the present SEN
ior Senator from Ohio, a
strong nationalist, restricts the
Presidents treaty making
powers.
Gen. Eisenhower believes it
means that most treaties would
require ratification by the Sem
ate and then by the legisla-
lures of the 48 States. He will
throw all his powers and pres
tige into the effort to avoid
such q straitjacket.
He is described as fully
aware of the political hazards
inherent in such a showdown
with Congress but he accepts
them because the issue seems
to him that important.
Administration leaders in
Congress have been fully
briefed on the Presidents de-
termination to stand pat on
the concessions he described
at his press conference. These
are totally unacceptable as a
solution to Senator Bricker,

The months between now
and next summer will be criti-
cal. The Kremlin. after hav-
ing used for some time hon
eyed words intended princi-
pally for Western European
consumption, is proving once
more that the leopard never
changes his spots.
But while this situation is
obvious to US in the United
States, the same cannot be
said about Europe.
There are new political
moves, particularly in France
and Italy. for creation Of pop
ular fronts" by a coalition Of
the many groups Of Socialists
with the backing Of Commu-
mist parliamentarianS. The
popular front created between
the First and Second World
Wars in France proved the
nemesis of that country al
though it did not include Com
muniStS.
The organization of new
popular fronts in France and
Italy is being stimulated at
present by the Communist
Parties in both countries. The
various Socialist groups which
have a precariouS majority be-
lieve that without Communist
support they cannot remain in
power.
There was recently a little
publicized but nonetheless sig
nificant election in the French
National Assembly. The vet
eran Edouard Herriot, who felt
too old and sick to remain as
speaker of the Assembly, re-
signed. Elected in his place
was the Socialist. Andre Tro-
quer. who shares the Commu-
nists' hatred for the European
Defense Community. He OBJ
tanned a majority only because
of the solid vote of Communist
parliamentarian, in his favor.
The Communist mouth
pieces. the newspapers, L'Hu-
mantle and Liberation, ex-
pressed approval of Troquer's
election. Both papers wrote
editorially: BY voting in favor

which supported him. Now
he is trying to recover that
lost ground, but meantime
the mail is pouring into the
Capitol in behalf of the
amendment.
Democrats hope to stand aside
while Republicans battle one an
other on the issue. Obviously
The Republican Party cannot win
in the contest which must en-
sue If Bricker continues to scorn
the White House concessions.
Bricker needs two thirds of the
Senate to win. A President re-
buffed by two-thirds of the Sem
ate has been seriously injured.
So has a party which cannot
muster more than third of the
Senate behind their first Presi-
dent in 20 years. Actually, Ma
iority Leader Knowland will need
fewer than 80 Republicans since
some Democrats adamantly op-
pose the Bricker view.
The President began his study
of the Bricker amendment with
that usual mark of mature minds
"a belief that true compromise
was possible. After exhaustive
study of the making Of the Con-
stitution he decided that Bricker
was taking the country back to
the Articles of Confederation.
There Eisenhower won't go. Pc

Next Six Months Called CriticoIs
New Political Moves, Especially in Fronce and Itoly,
To Form Popular Fronts Are Just What Reds Want

of LIE Troquer the Communists
showed once more their de-
termination to fight for a pol
icy aimed at unity Of action
with the Socialist workers in
order to prevent the ratifica-
ton of the Bonn and Paris
agreements, to achieve peace
in Indo-China and to safe
guard the workers interests.
Many observers in Paris who
report back to Washington
showed their concern over this
new unholy alliance spurred
by the Communist Party in
France which is sure of at least
Is per cent Of the popular vote.
These observers point out that
the way seems open for the
creation of a popular front,
this time entirely under Com
munist domination.
A similar situation is de-
veloping in Italy, where the
new Premier designate, Amin
tore Fanfani, is known for his
leftist tendencies. Whether he
succeeds in organizing a cabi-
net now by bringing in Com
munists is of little conSe-
quence. But, according to re-
cent reports from Rome. it
would be a miracle if before
the end of the year Palmiro
Togliatti or Pietro Nenni or at
least their henchmen do not sit
on the ministerial bench in the
Italian Parliament.
