prece ding administrations
though they call themselves
Republicans. While some Of
the recent appointees think
they are making new policies.
several Of them find them
selves struggling to keep the
old. deep-seated policies from
spilling over into worse
''meSSeS."
Thus the truth about the
Korean mess" has never been
told. The facts as to the un-
preparedness Of the military
services, and particularly Of
the Joint Chiefs Of Staff, for
the sudden decision to inter-
yene in Korea have never been
revealed. though the blunder.
Is almost as catastrophe as
what happened at Pearl Har-
Dor. There Is still a tendency,
moreover. to cover up and be
secretive about the circum-
stances surrounding the forced
entry of the United States
into World War II.
The same kind Of cover-up
has occurred with reference
to the loss to the free world
of China. Incidentally, some
of the individuals who par
ticipated in that f1asco have
been defended, and in certain
cases promoted. by the Eisen-
hover administration to other
posts, Notwithstanding their
faulty Judgment.
Throughout the Government
departments the effort to up
root New Deal and Fair Deal
policies that spell waste and
creeping socialism" has met
with Illustration. Many Of the
Eisenhower appointees have
chosen to be silent on the OBJ
stacles they find. when the
need of the hour is for in
tensive exposure.
Naturally the old crowd OF
TrumaniteS want to squelch
all investigating committees
in Congress. But what is amaz-
ing is that some of the Eisen-
hover men seem to be willing
to let bygones by bygones.
Each administration should be
held accountable for its acts
to the American people. The
present administration has
never fully recognized its OBJ
legation to tell the voters what
has happened behind the
scenes-the truth all the way
from tax frauds to coddling
of Communists.

prisoner of circumstances be-

For q political party usually
not known for solemnity or
decorum, Democrats are found
at the beginning Of this second
session Of the 83d Congress to
be remarkably restrained. soft
spoken, and as polite as a
houseful of Lord Chesterf1elds.
This is very noticeable, mas
much as soundings and polls
indicate they are in good
shape, that there has been a
drift back to them and away
from the Republican Party
since Dwight d. Eisenhower
swept that party into power a
little over q year ago and that,
If the trend holds. they ought
at least to win the House in
next November's elections and
maybe even the Senate, too.
Why, then, the lack of jubi-
lation and the caution that
seems to pervade Democratic
ranks?
Upon analysis this sober
sidedness seems to trace back
to q combination Of circum-
stances. Among these, there
is the realization that Presi-
dent Eisenhower, who would
be the logical target, sti1l is
very popular and somehow
seems to be looked upon by
the people as aloof and above
his party-endowed in short,
with a sort Of personal majes-
ty. When Democrats observe
this and project forward to
the November elections, they
pause and reflect that perhaps
the wise course is to withhold
fire from the President him.

Revelations Of United States
economists that a minor busi-
ness recession has begun have
alarmed Europeans more than
they have Americans and more
than any anticipated Russian
aggression has done.
The apprehension not only
stems from the fact that the
West European economies
have become so dependent on
the American economy that a
serious recession here would
have intensified repercussions
there. It also stems from ap-
praisals Of where the danger
to the free world really lies.
The American emphasis has
been upon European rearma-
ment in q common defense
system to meet the danger of
Russian armed aggression.
European - and especially
French-dilatorineSs In this
matter exasperates American
officials. European socio-
political analysts are. how
ever. equally irritated by what
they consider to be a pecu-
liarly American astigmatism.
AS conscious of the Communist
danger as Americans. they do
not think it likely that it will
be spread by Russian armed
aggression. They think the
danger from within far greater
than the military danger and
that American policies, since
the switchover from economic
reconstruction to rearmament,
have tended to increase that
danger.
Their reasons not only arise
from an analysis Of Soviet
internal problems initiating
against war. They believe that

be nice to everybod ody--includ-
ing his predecessors. But the
truth has a way Of forcing it
self into the open, and Mr..
: Eisenhower's chances to ex-
tricate the country from the
many "meSses" his admins
tration inherited lies in telling
the whole revolving story, piece
by piece.
The waste Of American
money abroad has been a
scandal. The waste Of money
in the military services has
been another scandal, The
failure to provide ammunition
to American boys in Korea is
still another scandal. And the
refusal-due to foreign dicta-
tion-to back up American
troops on the firing line by
giving them maximum power
to fight the enemy Is a story
that has never been told in its
entirety. though the public
does know Gen. Macarthur was
summarily fired for daring to
suggest that American boys be
defended to the utmost in
Korea.
The budget can't be balanced
because the inherited commit
ments are beyond belief. The
President is battling with
critics who say he hasn't kept
his campaign promises about
balancing the budget, but Mr..
Eisenhower has never revealed
the true nature of the costly
commitments made by the
prec eding administrations
which make balanced budget
almost impossible for q long
time to come.
Secrecy and diversion Of at
tentlon to new legislative pro-
poSals will not eradicate the
basic cancer - a personnel
dedicated to spending, a per-
sonnet dedicated to policies
that mean surrende of
American interests all over the
world. and a personnel that
wants to give money to allies
while getting little co-opera-
ton in return.
Foreign policy and domestic
policy are interviewer, and any
cold-blooded analysis of the
facts-without wishful think
ing-will reveal that the Eisen-
hover administration is up
against a set of barriers that
only an informed public opin-
ion can help the President to
break down. This is not a
happy picture, but little good
can come out OF a CLOSING over
of the facts.

Mr.. Dulles, foreseeing the

shall use not only the full force

of the men who are debating

mite report that the radar
