If the United States is sue
cessfully to play the role in
the world warranted by its
economic strength, it must act
with more consistency. 1t must
realize. for one thing. that it
cannot combine political in
ternationalism with economic
isolationism.
The United States. with only
7 per cent of the worlds popu-
lation, produces a vast propor-
ton of the worlds goods and
consumes 80 per cent of them
at home. This gigantic pro-
duction and consumption are
achieved by an exceptional
combination of factors: Great
national resources; scientific
ingenuity; managerial know
how that has concentrated on
mass production at high wages
and low profits per unit of
production, insuring a high
level of mass purchasing
power: an internal market of
continental proportions; mer-
chandising skills that con-
stantly stimulate new de-
mands. and foster rapid turn
over; high rewards for indi-
viduals possessing outstanding
managerial capacities; and
Government policies aimed at
keeping this dynamism oper-
ating in some sort Of equf-
librium between imitation and
deflation.
This is the American eco
nomic system. 1t bears no
more than a family resem-
blance to conventional cap
italism," whose critic, Karl
Marx. a century ago. could
not remotely envisage such
q development, any more than
he could have imagined the
contract just negotiated be-
tween the Ford Motor Com
pany-an original pioneer of
this economic process--and
the UAW, on the possible re-
suits Of which we are not here
commenting.

Stevenson Suggests U. S. Compromise
Where Basic Principle Is Concerned

all American troops withdrawn
from Europe, a distance OF
5000 miles, while the Russians
go back just a few hundred
miles? Does he mean that
America is to agree to some
more coalition" cabinets such
as led to the fall of the gov
ernments of Poland and Czech
oslovakia, and later under
mined the Nationalist govern
ment in China? Would Mr..
Stevenson be willing to accept
the Communist idea of Stree
elections" in East Germany
with Soviet-controlled troops
coercing the electorate? Pos
sibly it means that Mr.. Ste
venson would favor giving up
the American stockpile of
atomic bombs and agreeing to
some kind of disarmament
plan in which America takes
plenty of chances while the
dishonest men in the Kremlin
take no chances. because they
never would keep the agree
ments they signed anyway.
Mr.. Stevenson. as the titular
leader of the Democratic Party
today, will probably be asked
to spell out Just what he does
mean. Maybe there are other
Democratic Party leaders who
do not think he is rejecting
the true spirit Of America to-
day and will tell him not to
assume that he can speak for
the Democratic Party in such
terms. But, If not, there are
Republicans surely who will
want Mr.. Stevenson to define
what he meant in that speech
delivered this week at the
commencement exercises Of
Oberlin College.
What really requires expla-
nation is Mr.. Stevenson's
clumsy attempt to apologize
for what happened at Yalta
as just an ordinary mistake in
diplomacy, which he seems to
think wasn't apparent at the
time. Is the criticism of Yalta
today really "hindsight"? The
record in the newspapers and
elsewhere shows that plenty of
speakers and some writers,
including this correspondent,
called attention before and
Immediately after Yalta to the
plan to sell Poland down the
Evening star., 1955-06-15
DAVID LAWRENCE

Is the Democratic Party to
be characterized as the party
of appeasement, and does its
leadership still favor the same
spirit Of surrender which led
to the Yalta agreements in
1945?
This would readily be an
swered in the negative. because
of the fine statements of Amer
lean purpose recently made by
Senators Lyndon johnson of
Texas and Walter George of
Georgia, were it not for the
startling speech just delivered
by Adlai Stevenson, who Is
conceded by most observers
as likely to lead the Demo-
cratic Party in the 1855 presi-
dental campaign.
Mr.. Stevenson unashamedly
comes out for bargaining"
and "trading" with the Red
gangsters In Moscow and offers
the curious disclaimer in ad-
vance that, "if things go wrong
in the future" in the agree
ments made "at the summit"
by the four-power statesmen.
there should be no denuncia-
ton of the participants. He
seems to sense already that
the agreements might turn out
to be bad.
ITO want peace is to want
compromise" says Mr.. Ste
venson. But is this truly the at
titude of a nation that has
been taught morality and
idealism? Is there ever a JUS
tification for compromise"
with evil men and evil things?
Mr.. Stevenson seems to think
that anything Is "better than
the alternative, which Is a
sharpening and prolonging Of
ugly, dangerous tensions"
This is really peace-at-any-
price doctrine, and it is aston
ishing to find the leader Of
the Democratic Party openly
advocating its equivalent.
1--WE shall have to be pre-
pared to take some chances"

tnee Of 1852, Ito risk some
thing to win more" He adds
that America should be willing
to take some reasonable
chances" Does this mean that
