The first reaction in Wash
ington to the defeat Of EDO
was silence. James Reston OF
the New York Times reported
that top State Department
officials "felt like pallbearers
at the grave Of an old friend"
and that under the circum-
stances the least they could
do was to remain silent, dur
ing the ceremonies"
The next reaction, again
as reported by Mr.. Reston,
from those officials who did
agree to discuss the vote in
private" Gas though discuss
ing anything with a reporter
was "private") was: "This is
not the end of the road; 1t
merely seems that the United
States oversold the edo. i.
We must merely find another
vehicle and go on. :. The
practical problem Of rearming
Germany as part Of the West

body has the honesty to tell
the truth: The United States
has merely suffered an unmiti-

and, as we see it. is now
in no position to suggest
alternatives, having already
rejected them. The obse-
quies over which q discreet
silence is briefly maintained

an American policy. The use

An awareness of the diff
culties facing the Republican
Party In the autumn elections
for Congress is beginning to
percolate through the various
layers of the Republican top
command.
Vice President Nixon, at the
Cincinnati meeting Of the Re-
publican National Committee,
spoke some painful truths that
had to be said. He made a
sensible plea for party unity,
and it is only unfortunate that
all those members of the White
House staff who have been adj
yising President Eisenhower on
political strategy, and who
have unwittingly been doing
so much to stimulate disaf-
lection inside the party, didn't
hear the Nixon speech.
Apparently. according to Mr..
Nixon, the President now is go
ing to support all Republicans
who have been nominated for
Congress. The nonsense which
has been regularly leaked from
the White House heretofore to
certain sections of the press
that Gen. Eisenhower is going
to purge the Republicans he
doesn't like seems to have
evaporated. Indeed. Mr.. Nixon
made q very logical argument
to Republican voters in New
Jersey to try to get them to
support former Representative
Case, who is running for the
Senate. BY pointing out that
his defeat would mean the loss
of a vote in the Senate, the
Vice President urged Repub-
licans to support the party de-
spite the anti-McC arthy views
of Mr.. Case. For Mr.. Nixon
pointed to Illinois, where there
are disaffected groups. too. and
they don't like Joseph Meek.

Premier up to now, including
those who presented the most
optimistic view to America,
ever let EDO come to a vote.
This fact did not seem to dent
the grand illusion that some
how. some way, by main
strength and awkwardness,
EDO could be got through the
French Assembly.
Premier Mendes-France has
now deStroyed-or permitted
to be destroyed-a truly stag
gering amount of self-decep-.
ton and wishful thinking.
This, at least. should be all to
the good when the "agonizing
reappraisals" forecast by Sec
rotary of State Dulles begin.

for their government. A sub
stantial fraction of them have
handsome titles and important
jobs, giving them access to
French officials, French busi-
ness, French diplomacy.
= Yet, up to the end. Con-
gress was led to believe that
there was hope for EDO and
responded with the aid re-
quested. The American pub
lie went along on the same as

here consists of a realization
that fresh ammunition has

the hard-headed. It increases
the incomes of farmers, 1t at
tracts new industries that give
jobs to many people. The own
ers of the industries. in their
profits, and the workers, in
salaries and wages, realize
cold cash. So does the Gov
eminent. For it gets its share
in income tax revenues. Conse-
quently, the Government is re-
paid many, many times for
every multipurpose public de-
velopment of our rivers and
watersheds it has undertaken.
That can be demonstrated, as
1t has. for individual projects
here and there.
This Is all so obvious that
it seems a bit silly to explain
1t. It's only simple arithmetic.
Senator Maybank knew that,
as do many of our public men
who have contact with the
people and with the land and
the rivers. In his own State
there is a memorial to him in
which he enlisted the interest
and support of the Federal
Government back in the New
Deal days. That is the Santee-
Cooper project which har-
messed the waters of the Santee
and the Cooper Rivers. It is
just one Of many which our
native American holiness,
imagination and enterprise
have raised up in the last two
decades to conserve and enrich
our natural heritage Of land
and water.
We around Washington got
to know Burnett Maybank
back in the days when he was
Mayor of Charleston and. also
for part Of that time, chair
man as well of his States
Public Service Authority. and
later as Governor. He was
here now and again in the in
terest of the little IVA" as
the Santee Cooper project was
called. From that interest he
went on to another interest,
conservation of our human
resources. He directed his
energies into efforts to clean
out unsightly, unhealthful and
costly slums and put in their
places instead nice and mex

wise by our British and French
allies whose treaties with the
Russians run respectively to-
1862 and 1864.
So we agreed to give the
North Atlantic pact a wide in
depreciation by maintaining
that the coalition was aimed
at any aggressor in the North
Atlantic area. The fallacy of.
these provisions was proved
later when Italy, Greece and
Turkey were brought into the
coalition. But the treaty obli-
cations of Britain and France
to the U. s. S. r. were thus
safeguarded.
In the last two years the
French In particular have con-
Strued the NATO to be aimed
at Germany as much as II not
more than at the U. S. s. r.
Since Stains death, Moscow
has engaged in a strong and
successful campaign to sell CO..
existence. There are indica-
tons that France would well
come the end of NATO. This
would give her a free hand to
restore the alliance with Mos
COW which was first established
in 1911 and was revived in
1914. The feelings In this mat
ter of certain important seq
ments in France are well
known here and make the sit
uation much more difficult.
There have been some
thoughts Of slipping Germany
into the NATO by the back
door. But every one of the
IA members has q veto and
there is no doubt in anybody's,
mind that France would use
it. Membership in NATO would
give Germany equality in that
body, and that Is the last thing
France can. accept. /.
No wonder the question most
frequently heard In the State
Department today Is, Where

control passes to the Demo-
Gratis, the investigating COM
mittees run by the Democrats
will make Senator Mccarthy
look like an amateur. The
customary strategy, If an OPP
position party gets control Of
one house or both midway in q
presidential term, is to do ev-
erything possible to embarrass
a President so that his party
makes q bad record in prep
aration for the subsequent
presidential election.
AS election day this autumn
approaches, those Republicans
who are disafected for any
reason will have to face a seri-
Gus decision - whether they
will let their grievances go to
the point Of staying away from
the polls altogether or whether
they will actually vote the
Democratic ticket. The inn
portant problem is majority
control. Irrespective of how
the Republican nominees may
have voted on particular is
sues, the only real question for
a loyal Republican to decide
is whether he is willing to
allow control of Congress to
pass to the opposition party.
But what the leaders and
the organization workers may
argue is one thing and the
emotions stirred up by the
thoughtless tactics of some
members of the White House
staff who started the fight to
punish Senator Mccarthy, and
who have been running the
show thus far on the political
side, is quite another. The
trouble is there has been so
much time spent by Republic
cans in fighting Republicans
that there has been a singular
failure to remind the country
of why it was against the
Democrats in 1852.
Logically this is the time
when the Republicans should
be making big gains in the
seats in both houses. For. just

cotton looks like a dead duck, at
least for the next year or two. Most
wheat growers are opposed to it. So
are the cotton growers. Corn grow
ers, too, are against the two-price

What the price support resolution
adopted by the American Farm Blu
reau Federation at IFS recent con-
vention boils down to is that the
flexible price support principles of
the Agricultural Act of 1949 should
be put into effect in 1855. but the
law should be amended 10 provide
that 500 of parity price supports
shall be maintained the first year
that marketing quotas are in effect
for any commodity. Thereafter the
price support level for any COM
modify would depend upon the
producers ection in bringing sup
plies into line with effective de-
mand. Then. if production again
got out of hand. quotas and aver
age allotments would be applied
and go per cent supports would be
in effect the first year. There is
strong opposition TO the flexible
support principle in Congress. even
if modified under this delayed ac-
tion advocated by the Farm Blu
reau.

mand. Then. if production again
got out of hand. quotas and aver
age allotments would be applied
and go per cent supports would be
in effect the first year. There is
strong opposition TO the flexible
support principle in Congress. even
if modified under this delayed ac-
tion advocated by the Farm Blu
reau.
Other Farm Bureau resolutions ad-
vocated use of the lower, modern
lied" parity formula for wheat and
other basic crops commencing in
1856, broadening the Market Agree
ment Act to cover additional COM
modities and vigorous marketing
programs to reduce SURPRISES. The
Bureau opposed two-price systems,
universal military training and COM
pulsory health insurance.
You can just about bank on Con-
supports on wheat and other basic
crops for at least two years. Con-
tinued support of dairy products ar
800 of parity also appears likely.
Agricultural conservation pay
ments will probably be continued at
present levels, although permanent
practices may be favored at the ex-
pense of normal and accepted" prac-
tees in any area. Both the Grange
and the Farm Bureau, as well as the
Farmers Union, now support con-
servation payments.
Congress will probably insist on
more adequate protection for future
power supply needs of REA Co-ops
under the Administrators recently
announced power policy, but REA
may not be permitted to discourage
industrial development by tying up
too much power for unsupported esti-
mates of future requirements.
In spite of rather discouraging
outlook, there is reason to expect
definite action in broadening export
outlets for wheat and other surplus
grains. There is strong support in
Congress for legislation that would
pave the way for a more aggressive
export program.
Amy standardized overall for
mula such as the one used TO deter
mine acreage allotnents under the
wheat program. is bound to result
in unreasonable penalties for GER
tain individuals and districts. Take
Montana's hard wheat area. for
instance. There is no surplus of
this high-qualifY. milling wheat as
evidenced by the substantial pre-
NUNS being paid for it this season.
Yet under the quota and allotment
plan. growers of this premium
non-surplus wheat have to reduce
their acreage under the allotment
plan in accordance with the same
formula followed by states pro-
ducing soft feed wheat or other
non-premium kinds.
