Capitol Hill Quiet Recalls Coolidge Days;
Some Democrats See Advantage in 1t

House Just dandy. President
Eisenhower is a small-govern-
ment, States rights man. Also,
unlike his immediate prede-
cessors, he puts no burrs under
the saddle Of the congressional
leadership, Democrats though
they are.
Nor does he engage in the
kind of battles for his own pro-
posals to which Washington
has become accustomed. His
committees on various prob
lens - transportation, fuels,
intergovernmental relations
continue to churn out reports
which are dutifully dispatched
to the Hill. The rest is silence.
The Hoover Commission re-
ports are virtually a dead let
ter with no fight being made
for their enactment. Infuen-
tial members of Congress be-
lieve that much of what they
recommend is unrealistic and
the failure of important Re
publicans to push them lends
support to that view.
Democrats divide on whether
the present lethargy is neces-
sary and desirable.
It's defenders argue that the
country is tired after a de-
preston and two wars so that
the present breathing spell is
wise. They contend that the
party can catch up next session

Dull Routine Makes No Issues

and what it does then will be
fresh in the minds Of the
voters next November. For ex-
ample, plans are being made
for a Democratic tax bill next
year which will be tailored to
the small taxpayer.
Some in this group suggest
that the President is fishing in
very troubled foreign policy
waters. They believe the presi-
dental campaign will hinge on
the results he obtains there
and so they ask, why make
any sound and fury now?
The Democrats who feel the
party is compromising with
principle say that their mail
shows the grass roots agree
with them. They contend the
country is not nearly so we'll off
as Washington believes nor the
President so popular. They
want a charge of mo leader
ship" leveled at the President
and held there.
Senate Majority Leader
johnson of Texas is, of course,
a target of this group since
he is largely responsible for
the compromising that has
been done. His friends answer
that since he has only a one
vote majority to work with he
has to do what he does.
To add to the thunders of
partisan silence, Senator
Mccarthy has all but disap-
peared from the Senate floor.
He has said that reports he is
sick were only "wishful think
ing" on the part of his enemies.

A Big Four ToIk-Pro and Con

Berlin to settle the German
and Austrian problems with
the Russians. These were dis.
cussed perfunctorily and in
conclusively. The Russians
only objective was to win Wet
Nam for the Communists
without the risk Of further
fighting. And they succeeded
beyond their expectations.
The realists in Washington
are convinced that similar tao
tics will be used by Bulganin
at a meeting lat the sum-
NIT" this summer. He cer-
tainly will not allow discus
sionS on matters such as a
greater degree of freedom to
the Soviet satellites in Europe.
Nor is he expected to agree to
German unity without a sub
stantial quid pro quo. And the
quid pro quo is the establish
ment of Red China as the SUI
preme power in Asia. In this
particular matter Bulganin
will have the British and
French Prime Ministers in his
corner. Without appearing to
gang up against Mr.. EiSen-
hover they will use every pos
sible device to convince him
that the peace Of the world
demands that the United
States make that last conces-
sion" to the Communists.
But behind these pro and
con- arguments. there is Mr..
Eisenhower'S personal convic-
ton that unless the Commu-
nists in Moscow and Peiping
give some tangible proof OF
their honest intentions it
would be dangerous to make
any further concessions, par
ticularly any which affect
Americas national security.
Hence the Presidents luke
warn. attitude toward a Big
Four conference and his deci-
sion to go to Europe only
after q definite agenda has
been formulated by the For
eign Secretaries Of the ma
tionS involved.

Russia Puts West on the SPOT

prove tinA4 America's President
W1ll DO anything In his power
TO advance the cause Of peace
and that, II tension isn't re-
laxed, 1t Will not be Americas
fault. But, even as he endeav-
ors to satisfy the New Dealers
and Fair Dealers who, through
Adlai Stevenson, have empha-
sized the paciflst line and also
as he recognizes Prime Minister
Eden's political dilemma in
Britain, there Is a risk to the
prestige Of Mr.. Eisenhower If
he becomes a pawn in a Mos
cow chess game. His position
will not be enhanced in the
world If he doesn't express the
moral indignation of the
United States at the continued
aggression by the Communists
and their refusal to terminate
their invasion of the Western
democracies with agents of in
filtration and subversion.
AS it is, the three foreign
ministers will talk with Mr..
Molotov at Vienna this week
end and ask him what he
thinks can be accomplished.
On his answers to specific
questions will depend what Mr..
Eisenhower will finally do. 1t
now is expected that Molotov
will speak in generalities and
that the three other powers
have gone too far to stand on
their own skepticism as to
whether the four-power con-
ference will prove useful.
The propaganda move Of the
Russians is designed to empha-
size that the SovietS are the
seekers after peace and that
failure to accede to Soviet de-
mands makes the Western
powers the chief obstacle to
peace.
This is what happens when
the free world adopts a de-
fensive posture and doesn't
take advantage Of its many op-
portunities to counter the So
Wet propaganda in the court
of public opinion.

One Of the news weeklies
carries on its cover this week
a color photograph Of a young
German in uniform, captioned
"Our German Ally: When
And If-An Army" The orig
inal was a West German bor-
der guard.
A level-eyed youth, with a
mouth tender rather than
stern, looks out from under the
familiar coal scuttle helmet.
Somewhat sardonically I
thought Of how prototypes"
change.
Until the past decade. we
had become thoroughly ia
miliar with the faces OF
German soldiers. During the
war they stared at us from
nearly every days newspaper.
They were the Huns" then,
and every face we saw was
cruel, glaring, and grim. Only
the helmet on this young man
resembles his predecessors.
"All else" comments the edi-
tor, "has changed. Whether
and when-he marches with
us depends on a cold war strug-
gle now developing"
Has "all else" changed?
The German people have not
changed physically. The cover
lad has a recognizably Teutonic
= face, and doubtless bears a
close resemblance to a father
or uncle who, only decade
ago, was one of those "incor-
rigible" Germans, who, we
were told, had to have their
factory potential so reduced
that they could never again
manufacture weapons Of war,
and who had to be kept per-
manently disarmed by the Joint
policing of the Soviet Union
and the Western powers, ad
inf1nitum.
We saw. then. pictures of
other soldiers. including Rus
sian. and they all had good,
kind faces. (The Chinese, too.
we're wonderful people, but the
japanese were brutes-plen-
tifully picturizedO
Not a word or picture
reached us to indicate that
the ordinary German was, un-
der normal peacetime condi-
tionS and under a normal
government Of limited powers,
much like other Europeans.

DAVID LAWRENCE

PARIS, May 11.-Communist
Russia has won q big proga-
ganda victory. She has brought
it about that a President Of
the United States will go 5000
miles to beg for peace in a
meeting with the head Of the
Soviet state. For months the
Soviets have been crying out
that they want peace, without
giving the slightest indication
to the American Ambassador at
Moscow that they have in mind
doing anything to terminate
their aggression.
Now. due to the effectiveness
of the pacifism crusades inside
Britain. France and the United
States which coincide with the
purposes of the Communists,
there is to be a conference "at
the summit" 1t means that the
heads of state will put on a
show but will not agree to any
thing. Indeed, it is announced
beforehand that the object of
the meeting isn't to negotiate
an agreement or make any
commitments but to arrange
for a subsequent conference of
the Foreign Ministers of the
four powers to discuss any sub
jects that the heads of state
might think advisable.
Could anything be more en-
barrassing than the spectacle
of a President of the United
States going all the way to
Europe to sit down with the
heads of other states and give
the impression to the people
that something real and sub
stantial is being accomplished
to relieve world tension? If,
indeed, there is anthing to
agree upon, the Ambassadors
of all the other powers resident
in Moscow would know 1t
instantly.
When Soviet Russia really
had something to negotiate
with Austria, there was no

Enemy Yesterday, Friend Today

War, and not its soldiers,
wears the face of hell.
But, there is a limit to hu-
man credulity. A limit to be-
lieving that every human face
and every human value is
changed merely by the chang
ing of sides in the defense"
policies of states. One thing
or its contradiction may be
true. But they can't both be
true.
They can both. however, be
false.

better end in a new view of

survey of property based upon
reports by the General Services

ing and landlord agency for our
non-military property. In our
seven counties, the Federal Gov
ernment controls total of 9,309.1
acres of rural property and 1927
acres of urban area. This was
acquired at a cost of $18,153,OO
and includes 172 buildings and
structures containing 46l, ,543

bearings. Our ardor for pros
perity and peace at almost any
price has betrayed us. Expedi-
ency has proved tragic mistake
in place of the rule Of principle
we forsook in our search Tor
security.
But the roots of freedom are
not dead. Somehow, God is not
mocked, and His truth will rise
again. The laws which for untold
time have implemerted His will
are still there and, one day,
mankind will renew its accept
ance of and obedience to those
laws.
Recently l sat in the lobby of
Robert E. Lee Hall at Blue Ridge,
North Carolina, when one of the
guests came excitedly up to a
group of us.
What do you think l saw a
little while ago?' he challenged,
and then went on to answer his
own question. He had been on
the mountain side and found a
chestnut tree about six inches in
diameter, with young shoots
sprouting around its roots. "The
chestnut trees are coming back
again.
The significance of that dis
covery is that some years ago, a
nationwide blight killed off our
chestnut trees. Millions of them
died, leaving bare trunks and
branches to bleach in dead for
eStS.
But a few roots survived. And
today a siX-inch trunk spreads
its leaves proudly and confident
ly to the sky, messenger of re-
birth for one of the most beauti-
full and useful of all woods. The
youngsters sprouting about its
roots will lift their heads higher
and higher and in time a chest
nut forest will have come back
into being.
God grant that the roots of
freedom never die. Perhaps, even
through the blight of collecti-
vism, the scourage of expediency
over principle, and the cancer
of the welfare state, still raging,
our nation may have a rebirth
of freedom under God, a restor-
alton of the principles enunciated
by Washington, jefferson, Mad
ison, Lincoln and Lee. And then
the suffocating mildew of pater-
nalism will yield to the clean
security of character.
