There are some wide differ
ences Of opinion on the con-
duct of Americas foreign
policy existing at the highest
levels. The little band Of
White House advisers closest
to President Eisenhower and
called ''the little State Depart
ment at 1900 Pennsylvania

agreement with the Nations
official State Department pre-
sided over by Secretary Of
State John Foster Dulles on
Virginia avenue, c o m m o My
called "Foggy Bottom" for rea-
sons not directly connected
with the alleged character Of
the Departments vision.
These differences. Of course,
are diligently swept under the
rug whenever some reporter
tries to nail them down. They
are fatty denied when mem
toned publicly, but deniais In
the Nations Capital are often
made just for the record and
fool nobody.
The Chief Executive. bur-
dened as he is with a host Of
thorny problems, must often
intervene to settle basic con-
troversies between his two
State Departments. and render
a final decision when the inn
passe comes to his desk. But
often the conflict Of advice

suits In some curious backing

Thus. when Secretary Dulles
voiced his massive retalia-

favor Of American military
action in Indo-C China before
that unhappy region was lost
to the Communists. the Pres
ident appeared to approve his
Secretary's position. But only
a short time later, under the
urgings of the White House
group. MIR. Eisenhower re-
versed that policy and In so
doing left Mr.. Dulles out on

Similarly, Mr.. Eisenhower
originally authorized Mr..

As Of today, there exists

5. May Relax
Passport Rules
BY tn. Assoeiatsd Press

4
The Government is reported
considering relaxing its restric-
tions on the issuance Of passports
Ito Americans to visit Iron Cur
tain countries.
An official, declining to be
identified. said last night the
question Is under study and no
definite decision has been
reached by the State Depart
Iment.
One major change tht depart
ment was reported considering is
Ihalting the current practice by
which a person is forbidden to
enter an Iron Curtain country
unless his passport bears q stamp
granting such entry. This would
Igive Americans freer travel
abroad with the decision whether
to grant entry left UP to the in
Idividual Communist countries.
The Governments study has
been undertaken in the light OF
two recent developments:
! 1. President Eisenhower's dec
laration at the Geneva summit
meeting called for freer relations
between the West and East. Re-
Taxation of travel restrictions is
lone Of the subjects on the apen-
ida Of the Foreign Ministers
meeting In Geneva which begins
October 81.
2. The State Department de-
cided recently not to fight a court
ruling that the department has
no absolute discretion over pass
ports and Americans have q nat
ural right TO travel abroad so
long as such travel does not in
terfere with national security.

to each of US an equal oppor-
tunity with all others to earn
our living for ourselves and our
families, and to protect our
future.
1--WE could discuss further
what we mean by for the peo-
ple.' But I refer to another
quotation of Lincoln's which
was generally to this effect.
The function Of Government
Is to do for the people what
the individual cannot do at
all, or do so well for himself.
and in all those things which
the individual can do for him
self, the Government ought not
to interfere.
'Now I think today that is

Uhe President was tactful
and restrained. He might have

naately fear land the Western
powers, tool but a Germany
that might be used as q jump
ing-off place for an attack on
East Europe and the Soviet
Union, or, conversely. by the
Soviet Union upon the West.
That the very real grievances
Of Germany contribute to this
possibility Is a reasonable con-
sideration.
What Is essential In the In
terest Of peace and relaxation
Of tension" is that the Soviets
should come to terms, not with
West Germany. but with the
Western powers, especially the
United States.
In the present situation, as
far as the West is concerned,
the allies are exercising curhs
upon each other. The various
British proposals are concerned
with finding q solution Of the
German question compatible
with the security Of both East
and West Europe and with the
maintenance Of the present
balance Of strength on which
the peace actually rests. It is
for the Soviets to decide
whether 1t Is TO their greater
interest to come TO terms on
the German question with all
their former allies. who fought
with them against Germany,
or to pursue an independent
course meanwhile maintaining
the status quo Of two Ger
manies.
