Inc question OF whether
Senator Mccarthy and his
counsel. Roy M. Cohn, have
used pressure on the Pentagon
to give Is passes to their for
mer staff member, Pvt. David
Schine. has become to millions
Of Americans a more gripping
subject than whether the Reds
at Geneva will maneuver in
such a way as to establish
themselves in Southeast Asia.

polished in a shoeShine parlor,

harm to us all.
We are becoming gradually
"Europeanized" in our way of
political thinking. At a time
when we must see that the
Red dagger is pointed at our
hearts, we fuss over what, in
fact, are trivial domestic
squabbles-just as our West
ern European friends did be-
fore the last war when the
totalitarian governments hit
them with a sledge hammer.
We have become grooved dip
lomatically in policy of COM

less offensive expreSsion) with
relationships which are even
more ruthless than those of
the past and consider CON
tainment" as a preliminary to
surrender.
The Geneva Conference now
has entered its second month
of futile discussions. It has
served solely to condition the
minds of the French people to
what may be a surrender III
o-Chirla. It has also served
to condition the minds of the
American people to the view
that an intervention in South
east ASia-not for the sake of
keeping French colonialism
alive. but to bolster our own
position in the forthcoming
clash with RuSsia-would be a
useless and unwise action
which should be avoided.
Early this year a substantial
number of Senators and Rep
resentatives favored a deter

dismissed a case against a

Judge Mccarthy was missing.
He explained that he had or
dered his statements destroyed

Concerning his action in dis
missing the case, the supreme

CoIumnist Finds Prime Minister, at 7o, VieiIont

fection for and commands the
loyal and indefatigable serv-
ice Of Anthony Eden. With
two such stanch aides, it is
small wonder that the Con-
servatives are hopeful that the
Prime Minister will continue
to stay on as long as he feels
his health will permit.
Some idea of how important
this is can be gained by noting
an editorial in the London
Daily Express, owned by the
influential Lord Beaverbrook,
whose keen understanding of
the United States stems from
his Canadian birth and early
career on the North American
continent. After pointing out
that speculation about the re-
tirement of Sir Winston had
been renewed because of a
chance remark in a public
speech, the editorial says the
hope is that the Prime Minis
ter will Danish the thought"
for "he would be making a
grievous mistake in retiring"
1t adds:
Churchill can be certain
that the people wish for no
other leader. And understand
able though it is that he
should desire a respite-and
richly though he deserves one
yet he should not take it.
Instead he should be pre-
pared to sacrifice himself for
his country in the future as
he has done in the past. His
countrymen will hope that he
will firmly resist the inclina-
tion to withdraw himself from
public life"
There is every reason why
Sir winston Churchill should
carry on, especially in these
times. For if he can reflect to
the world his mood of peace
with strength, it may restrain
the impetuous and the impul-
sive among us who want every
thing settled in time for the =
next edition of the newspapers.
There is need for his SOLDERING
and mature approach that
comes with the wisdom of
years. For these are troublous
times that require a never
ending study of the lessons of
human experience.

trymen are beginning to ask
If the day is at hand when he

Leadership becomes fragile if
a change is IN prospect. For,
when people start thinking in
terms of a new Prime Minister,
they unconsciously begin to
discount the strength of the
incumbent and cloak his poll
cies with an ephemeral quality
they do not possess.
For Americans. of course, the
Importance of the continuity
of joint policies in interna-
tional affairs cannot be over
estimated. A British Prime
Minister who is half-American
by blood is a rare occurrence,
and when this is coupled with
a breadth of view that comes
from so many years of inti-
mate association with the top
level men Of the United States
Government. including Presi-
dent Eisenhower, it seems
fantastic to be reading in the
press that the two countries
allegedly have been at a
. breaking point in world affairs.
There are often differences of
approach and viewpoint, but
the detectives are the same
and the Emergencies are
always reconciled somehow in
the common interest, because
they must be.
The personality of Sir Win
ston is bound to make itself
felt in the British cabinet on

why men in uniform, once broken
