There's a lot Of double talk
being heard hereabouts which
Is designed by some Of the po-
liticai spokesmen to convey the
idea that In the new session
Of Congress everything is go-
ing to be smooth and calm
between the administration
and the Democrats.
But the sugar-coated words
of professed amiability are
merely the tactful way to cam
outage the explosive weapons
Of political combat which are
to be used the moment cir
cumstances are most propi-
'tiouS.
When, for example, the SEN
ate's Democratic leader in his
public statement says his party
isn't going to oppose" the
President but that there will
be differences at times" and
that these will represent CON
victions," this is but another
way of saying that opposition
will be vigorously recorded
when it's good politics to do
so and criticism will be soft
pedaled when it is obviously
unpopular.
That's the way it has always
been and, at this session in
particular. after the rumors Of
a prospective "cold war" be-
tween the Republicans and
Democrats heard during the
last campaign. it would be in
discreet indeed to announce
the declaration of any such
war. It's much better to let
the obstruction come up with
seeming spontaneity. That's
good politics.
