Eden Fovors Negotiation Policy
Sir Anthony, q Suove Diplomat, Does Not Possess
The Determination of Winston Churchill

Any substantial concessions to
the Communists would jeopar-
die not only Americas secu-
rity but also that of the re-
naming free nations in Asia
and incidentally the British
position in Hong Kong. Sir
Anthony rejected any idea Of
an armed intervention or Of
retaliation against a Chinese
Communist aggressor, and
urged strongly that we offer
the Matsu and Quemoy islands
as a price to purchase a cease
fire. He intimated that once
this had been achieved, we
could solve the rest of the
problem at a conference such
as that held at Geneva last
summer. He suggested a num-
Der of peaceful solutions, such
as the admission Of Red
China in the United Nations
and the independence of For
mosa under the United Ma
tons. But he insisted that the
offshore islands must be offered
to the Communists as the price
to keep their peace. Mr.. Dulles
is reported to have returned
from Bangkok disturbed at
the attitude of his British
opposite number, particularly
since he had had an inkling
that within a few weeks he
would become Britain's Prime
Minister. There is good reason
to believe that the administra-
tons reluctance to make pub
lie its stand on the offShore
islands, if they were attacked
IN force by the Communists,
is due in part, at least. to its
unwillingness to create fric-
tions with the new British
Premier.
Sir Anthony is less anxious
than his predecessor to hurry
a Big Four meeting. But that
does not mean that his ulti-
mate goal is different from
that Of Sir Winston. He Is
a much younger man to whom
the time element is not of the
same Importance. Only after
the general election. which is
now expected to take place in
the early summer, will Sir
Anthony be able to devote
himself to international prob
lens. He does not want to take
a chance on having a repeti-
ton of Potsdam. where the
conference was started off by
Sir Winston and finished by
Clement Attlee. But there is
no doubt in Washington that
once the elections are over
Sir Anthony. if returned to of
flee, will pursue this matter
with even more doggedness
than Sir Winston.

For legal requirements. the will

macy, he believes that much
more can be achieved by nego-
tiations-even with the COM
munists who have never re-
spected a single agreement
than by the threat or display
Of force.

and particularly in the West
Pacific is today the most seri-
Gus threat to peace. It is not
Of our own doing. If a clash
Of arms occurs it will be be-
cause the men in Peiping,
supported by Moscow, want it.
Sir Winston openly coun-
seled moderation on our part.
But privately he told pron1i-
nent Americans whom he had
seen lately that if the Chinese
Communists have the temerity
to lock horns with us, I'VE
shall make them drink salt
water" Although Sir Winston
resigned his commission in the
regular British army early in
life and was engaged for half
a century in active politics, he
remained a soldier at heart.
His slogan was always at
tack" whether he was fighting
an election, answering his
critics in the House Of Com
mons. or attending interna-
tional conferences.
Prime Minister Eden is diff
ferent. His speeches in the
Commons and his actions at
the diplomatic tables are con-
ciliatory in tone and, in sub
stance. At the Bangkok con-
ference he had private meet
ings with Secretary Dulles.
The two men discussed the
situation in the Formosan
straits and the threatening
stand taken by the Chinese
Communists. Mr.. Dulles ex-
planned to his British colleague
that it would be impossible for
the administration to retreat
from the position it has taken.
He made it clear that we can
not yield further and that the
defense of Formosa was a key
point in the American policy.

A number Of policymakers
In Washington suspect that
things will not be quite the
same in the field of American
British cooperation now that
Sir Winston Churchill has
handed over the reins to his
successor, Sir Anthony Eden.
The retired Prime Minister
was essentially a blunt and
forceful politician. combining
the tenacity of the English
bulldog inherited from his pa
ternal ancestors. the Dukes of
Marlborough, with the Ameri-
can idealism inherited from
his maternal American an
cestry.
Sir Anthony. a Yorkshire
man, is an eminently suave
diplomat, who, unlike Sir Win
ston. has not spent his life in
the rough and tumble of poll
tics.
Those who have dealt with
these men in the last Is
months of Republican admin
istration have known where
they stood with Sir Winston,
but frequently have been at a
loss to fathom Sir Anthony's
mind and detectives.
For instance, when the
United States was willing to
use its air and naval power in
an effort to save Wet Nam
during the tragic days of the
Diem Bien Phu siege. the Stun
bling block was not Frances
Prime Minister Bidault or Sir
Winston, but Sir Anthony.
who sternly opposed such an
action. 1t was he and not his
then Prime Minister who was
the principal architect of
the Geneva agreement which
caused the French to surrender
to the Communists the rice
bowl of Ashland, it is now
feared, most of Indo-C China.
From this it must not be in
ferred that the new British
Prime Minister is sympathetic
toward the Communists. Quite
the contrary. But being accus-
toned to the ways of diplo-

abrogated. Usually domestic
politics has caused such
changes. or else 1t has been
reconsideration by superiors in
the government. These Incl
dents are provoking, but they
do not impair the relations
between the two countries.
Broadly speaking, Sir An
thony Eden will maintain the
policy of close cooperation
with the United States because
it is logical for the Conserva-
tive Party in Britain to do so.
The British Labor Party plays
it the opposite way, and there
is frequent needing Of the Con-
servatives with respect to
American policies. Basically 1t
arises out Of a desire to en-
barrass the Conservatives rath-
er than because of any inher-
ent anti-Americailisln.
How long will Sir Anthony
remain as Prime Minister?
When this writer was in Brit
ain last year. there were some
Conservatives of influence who
thought he was not as familiar
with the snares of domestic
politics as Sir winston and
might come a cropper purely on
controversial questions inside
Great Britain.
Fortunately, Mr.. Eden has
at his side r. A. Butler. Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, who
is one Of the strongest men in
England today on social and
economic questions. The team
of Eden and Butler should be
able to weather political
storms, but the mood Of the
British people-like that of
the American peoples often
more concerned with internal
than external matters. Hence,
a continuance Of prosperity in
England is an essential pre-
requisite to a victory for the
Conservatives in the coming
general election.

known the motivation Of such
policies and has understood
their true meaning.
A story was being told a
year ago at the Geneva Con-
ference. where Anthony Eden,
then British Foreign Secretary,
headed the British delegation
and at times found himself at
variance with American policy.
On one occasion, after a crisis
that seemed to al the head
lines, word is said to have
come from Mr.. Churchill to
Mr.. Eden which may be para
phrased as follows: Listen
carefully to what the Ameri-
cans say. Express your own
viewpoint as forthrightly as
you can. Then perhaps you
better do what the Americans
want you to do"
This may be too broad a
generalization, but in certain
circumstances when American
cooperation was desired, and
it was not deemed desirable to
let a rift in relations develop.
the Churchill concept would
seem to have been logical. But.
conversely. there have been
some occasions when President
Eisenhower. an intimate friend
Of Sir Winston, has sent word
to Secretary Dulles that it
might be best to defer to the
British view.
What most Americans are
anxious to know is whether
the ascension of Sir Anthony
Eden to the post Of Prime
Minister will affect British re-
lations with the United
States. Rumors have it. that
he does not get along so well
with Secretary Of State John
Foster Dulles, but the truth is
that they get along personally
very well and that the only
differences are those which
arise when understandings
reached at one conference
later have to be modified or

his own receptivity to that
nomination if the 1852 candi-
date chooses to step aside next
year.
What is responsible for the
political revolution we are OBJ
serving? Granted that Demo-
Gratis are the majority party in
the country. could the expla-
nation be as simple as the re-
turn to the fold of Democrats
who went over to President
Eisenhower in 1852? Then,
going from that question, is ii
possible they will flop over
again to President Eisenhower
if he runs again, and then turn
around and vote Democratic
for Congress and local and
State offices? Some speculate
on such a theory.
High-placed Democrats here
whose business it is to take
political soundings all over the
country claim the explanation
isn't so simple. but that issues
are involved. They contend
that such issues revolve around
the thesis which Democrats
are promoting that the Repub-
lican Party is the party of big
business and finance, and in
clude such things as failure of
the Republican Congress to
give tax relief to those of low
and moderate income. The
President, these Democrats say
they find, still Is able to escape
responsibility for acts OF the
administration about which
people complain. Others in the
administration are blamed.
Well get more light on all
OF this next year-and we may
have to wait until then to get
the real explanation Of the
Democratic renascence.

Senator Bush runs again next
year, SO they like their first
town council victory in 100
years in West Hartford, Conn.
They also swept the city cleo
tons in Danbury, Conn.,, last
month.
In 1858, Democrats won
seven out of eight special
House elections. two of them
in districts which had never
before elected a Democrat. In
1854. the party recaptured con-
troll of Congress and got 52.6
per cent of the popular vote.
It's largest share since 1884.
Now it appears that 1855 is
starting off the same way. The
Offices voted for are not ma
tionally significant but what
happens at the grass roots is.
When the Roosevelt landslide
of 1886 began to taper off in
the courthouses, the Republic
cans were on their way back.
The Democratic comeback is
the more interesting in that
the country is peaceful and
prosperous. But that prosperity
includes pockets of unemploy-
ment. It may be that any un-
employment has become po-
litically dangerous to the party
in power even though business
might pronounce 1t normal.

Ready 10 Fight,
Says Radford

MACON, Ga, April z (P.-
Admiral Arthur w. Radford de-
clared last night that the United
States will fight for it's principles
but will never provoke a war
or start a preventive war.
The chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff said the Com
munists, particularly Russia and
Red China, have posed such a
threat to the free world that the
United States must have mill
tary forces ready for sire
mendous counter offensive blows
in event of a global war and
also ready for lesser military
actions when and as directed by
our Government"
Admiral Radford said the fact
that we have such ready forces
and that we have them with
flexible nuclear capacities
should make it possible for free
peoples everywhere to sleep q
little safer at night"
In a speech before the Macon
Chamber Of Commerce. the ad-
miral said one Of the best safe
guards for peace in the face Of
the Communist threat is posses
sion of the power to retaliate at
the proper place by whatever
military means are best suited
to the situation at the time. He
stressed that the doctrine Of re.

Revolution at the Grass Roots
Democratic Trend Continues to Run Strong in State
Elections Despite Eisenhower's Popularity
er's Popularity

Democrats broke the power Of
the Republican Party after IL
years of Republican rule here
in Washington and established
themselves in power for 20
years.
In truth, the Democratic
ticket today seems to carry
magic.
Not to be overlooked in Tues
days election results was the
influence of two outstanding
Democratic figures and the
effect, in turn, on their own
political prestige.

man who served as State rev.

Though the margin of victory,
while substantial. was less for
Democratic Mayor candidate
than normally in recent years,
Mr.. Daley was up against a
formidable Republican -inde-
pendent movement that sought
to elect Robert E. Merriam,
former Democrat. The victory
solidifies Adlai Stevenson's
position with the Chicago
Democratic organization. That
could be an important factor
should he seek denomination
as Democratic presidential
candidate.
In Michigan, it Is Mennen

Governor, who benefits. He

acteristicly thorough campaign

Just a year ago, when this

The Democratic tide still is
running strong in State and
local elections, despite the
personal popularity of the
President.
Republicans, who don't like
the looks of this at all, are
perplexed about the reason
why. So. too. are Democrats,
who love it whatever the
reason.
The latter would like to see
the tide run on into the 1856
presidential election and en-
gulf the popular Republican
President, too. But of this they
have no confidence as yet, de-
spite the demonstrated loss of
confidence in the Republican
Party, itself. among the people.
Latest exhibits in the DEM
ocratic resurgence are two
Midwestern States, Michigan
and Illinois. In the former, for
the first time in over two
decades. Democrats captured
local offices in Statewide, off,
year elections for judicial and
school posts. In Chicago the
regular Democratic machine
turned back a high-powered
northumberland drive
to elect a Mayor, elected in
stead It's own candidate, and
returned to power after two
terms of a reform-type ad-
mfnistration by a Democratic
businessman.
These successes take on
significance because they carry
on relentlessly a steady march
that began in special elections
in October and November,
1858, when Democrats cap
tured House of Representatives
seats in Wisconsin and New
Jersey long held by Repub-
licans. Since then, in sporadic
local and State tests here and
there. and notably in last
November's congressional and
State elections, emocrats
have swept forward to win
control Of Congress as well as
81 of the 48 State governor
ships, and made amazing gains
IN state legislatures.
What we have been watch
ing is q political revolution at
the grass roots. When ana
lyzed, 1t is revealed to be the
most sweeping since the early
1905. In that, you'll recall.
