An Approaching Conflict

The field Of foreign policy, In which
there has been greatest promise of biparti-
Sanship for the next two years, already
threatens to produce major political con-
fiict within the next few months. The
controversial issue, specifically, is that Of
economic aid to Asia. The differences Of
opinion involved have to do not so much
with the need for such aid as with how
large it should be and what form it should
take.
The case for extensive American
economic aid to the non-C Communist coun-
tries of Asia has been building up rapidly
in recent weeks. Friendly Asiatic spokesman
have talked in. these terms and they have
received encouragement in press-confer-
ence statements by President Eisenhower,
Secretary of State Dulles and Foreign Oper-
atoms Director StasSen. Secretary Of the
Treasury Humphrey, whose first interest
naturally is that of financing Government
undertakings has been noticeably more
reserved. While acknowledging that the
matter is under study, his most recent
press-conference comment was that there
is no Asian program yet" Although it
appears, therefore, that there is not yet an
agreement within the administration on
what may be recommended to the new Con-
gress, presumably any differences of opinion
will be resolved and a program of some kind
will be sent to Capitol Hill soon after the
new Congress organizes. There, unless some
carefully thought out compromises are
reached in advance, a more prolonged battle
is indicated.

of Congress that substantial body of leg
islators, including both Democrats and
Republicans is becoming increasingly wary
of direct economic aid abroad. Included in
this group are Southern Democrats who will
take important committee chairmanships in
the next Congress. One of them, Senator
Russell of Georgia, due to become chairman
of the Senate Armed Services Committee,
put the case most clearly before attending
the bipartisan conference at the White
House when he said he did not propose Ito
vote for economic aid anywhere" While
adding that he would support substantial
increase in technical assistance programs
fitted to the problems of the Asian economy,
the Senator emphasized his opposition to
pumping American dollars" into that
continent. A similar emphasis on technical
assistance programs as against direct aid
Of the Marshall Plan type-a Democratic
administration policy, incidentally - was
expressed by Democratic Representative
Richards of South Carolina, due to become
chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee More economy minded members of
each party in the two branches of Congress
may not go even as far as favoring stepped
up programs of technical assistance if sub
Stantial costs are involved.
The President has just named cabinet
level Council on Foreign Economic Policy,
to be directed by former Budget Director
Joseph M. Dodge. Among its responsibilities
are the anticipation of problems" and
planning to meet them. Topping the list Of
the problems is the question of aid to ASIA

Horse Sense and Nonsense

Among the few bright spots in the
world today are David Lawrence's and
Constantine Browns columns in The
Star. \ 1t is exceedingly comforting
to know that there are some newspaper
writer's who possess that beautiful
brand of intelligence known as horse
sense, which enables them to correctly
appraise situation-in this case the
Mccarthy matter. I. C. M.
Who said Senator Mccarthy has
been censured? His ridiculous insinua-
lions at the head of the United States
Government indicate that some other
means should be used to stop all this
nonsense.
I, for one, intend to quit reading any
news about Senator Mccarthy. think
it shame to devote so much news
print to the antics of such an indi-
vidual. N. C.H.

Split at Rolling Road.
AS it turned out yesterday, the
six Chevy Chase members who
played at home showed an 81a-

played away were 6 to 3 better
than their opponents. In the
other match, Prince Georges had
a 5l2-31a edge over its home
course and at Rolling Road it
was a 4l2-all split.
