the White House corrected a
key sentence in the Presidents

If that long. Communist
cells exist in most parts OF

Pakistan with its population

other hand a much stronger
defense potential against a
Red aggression. With proper
assistance it would fulfill in
Asia the same role Turkey full
fills in the Eastern Mediter-

fense force iYf Pakistan can
thwart ambitions of the Reds
in Asia as Turkey did in the
Eastern Mediterranean basis.
When, in 1947. we decided TO

with the wherewithal 10 build
up their national forces de-
fensively there was no protest
from anywhere except the
Communist world. The free
nations realized that by help
ing the Turks and Greeks we
were making a real effort to
help all free Europeans re-
main free.
The intention of the pres
ent administration-which ex-
poets full backing from the
Democrats who are of one
mind with the Republicans on
such matters-is to do for
Pakistan no more than we did
for Turkey and Greece. But

defense forces. Secretary Of
State Dulles does not intend to
yield to this unprecedented in
ternational pressure.
For the time being some in
veterate "Nehru admirers" In
the hierarchy Of the State De-
partment are endeayoring to
convince their chief that it
would be automatically unwise
to antagonize the Indian pre-
mier, whom they regard as
liberal Asia s" spokesman.
They do not expect to in
duce Mr.. Dulles to reverse
himself. They only hope that
he will agree to postpone any
decision for some time-may-
be a year or so-until the in
ternational situation may be so
improved that any further re-
armament Is not necessary.
The Intervention Of India in
our plans to provide some as
sistance to Pakistan Is remark
able indeed. The United States
and Pakistan are sovereign
countries. AS such there can
be no plausible reason for In
dia to interfere with a modest
support to improve the quality
of Pakistan's defenSeS. The
New Delhi government would
be the first to protest If the
position were reversed and
Pakistan opposed the rearming
Of India.

Far East has become more

1t is difficult for our diplo-
mats to reconcile the lip serv-
ice given in recent years by

unit, refused that peaceful
pledge and the PakiStani di-

skyward. has ceased"
That's a bit diff1cult to grasp
by ear. It would have been
better to have said: Farm
prices have stopped falling.
The cost of living is no longer
going up."
Another point made by the
President was worded this
way:
"Tax reductions which go
into effect this month have
been made financially feasible
by substantial reductions In
expenditures"
It could have been phrased
better for the ear this way:
I'VE are cutting down your
taxes beginning this month.
We couldn't have done this If
we hadn't cut down Govern
ment expenses.
The average man doesn't
like to try to guess what "fi-
nancially feasible" means. He
wants to know if taxes are
coming down and he under
stands that. if you first cut
expenses, you can then cut
taxes.
Another sentence in the
speech claimed this point as
an accomplishment:
"Strangling controls on our
economy have been promptly
removed"
This is a lot of big words.
The President might have
said: "We've gotten rid of
wage controls and price con-
trolls and those controls over
the supply of goods which
were needed for the Korean
war"
There were other points
mentioned which also were
abstract and vague. Thus,
the average man will get little
out of this sentence: "The
proper working relationship
between the Executive and
Legislative branches of the
Federal Government has been
made effective" Maybe the

understand it.
Even more confusing to
listen to was this sentence in
the Presidents address: "The
cheapening by imitation Of
every dollar you earn. every
savings account and insurance
policy you own. and every
pension payment you receive
has been halted"
It would have sounded
better thus: We've stopped
the imitation which has been
cheapening every dollar you
earn, every savings account.
every insurance policy and
every payment Of pensions to
our retired folks"
There was another sentence
which left the listener q bit
puzzled. The President listed
as an Accomplishment" the
following: "The fighting and
the casualties in Korea merci-
fully have come to an end.
We can therefore take more
satisfaction in other blessings
of our daily life"
Why the "other"? Certainly
the Korean war was no bless
ing to anybody.
Finally, the President re-
ferred to emergency immi-
grafton legislation" without
telling his audience what it
was. He then went on to the
next point: "A strong and
consistent policy has been de-
veloped toward gaining and
retaining the initiative In
foreign affairs"
It would be interesting to
know what proportion of the
television public knows what
the President meant by the
initiative in foreign affairs"
It's just too bad that Gen.
Eisenhower doesn't have a
better speech-writing staff
there are dozens of experts
in the television companies
who would gladly have trans
lated his address into con-
versational television English.

day China walks in we should
walk out.
Instead, in the name of
realism, it is suggested that we
should be seeking to drive a
wedge between China and
Russia and, to that end,
should be seeking a workable
understanding with the Chi
neSe government.
None of this means that
recognition of China is COM
ing soon, if ever, or that we
ever will cease to veto her ad-
mission to U. N. It means only
that a good many good Ameri-
cans seem to be changing their
minds and taking a less
adamant attitude.
Not many Americans ever
believed that Chang Kai-shek
could land a force on the
mainland capable of recaptur-
ing control of his lost do
minion, even with the prodi-
gious American help. It has
been expected that he would
remain were he Is, enjoying
his old age security in For
moSa. But his best American
friends are beginning to sense
the absurdity of considering
him the government of China.
How to resolve this alb
surdity has become a major
problem Of the Eisenhower adj
ministration just as 1t was for
the Truman administration.
1t isn't made any easier for
the Republicans because of the
years they spent building UP
the notion that the Democrats
had sold out" the Chinese to
the Communists.
