Such a war would cut of Britain
from her sources Of oil. which are
her margin Of economic solvency;
put a heavy strain on the United
States TO keep Britain from going
bankrupt; and give Communist sub
versive elements golden oppor-
tunity to worm their way into Arab
governments.
The terrible risk in this sequence
OF events. OF course, was that the
big powers would be drawn into
the lighting on a grand scale, and
the little war would SNOWFALL into
dread World War III, which both
sides have acknowledged has be-
come unthinkable.
The West took last weeks Mos
COW statement, calling on both
Arabs and Israelis to stop the bor-
der fighting, as an indication that
the Reds judged the risks OF World
War III to be too great. Their OBJ
jectives no doubt remain the same,
but they apparently intend to pur-
sue them, temporarily at least. by
more peaceful methods.
BY this technique. Of course, the
Kremlin was also giving the Arabs
a chance to develop their own in
dependence. SO that they could bet
ter withstand both Soviet and
Western influences on their policies.

Arab-Israel animosities another

REVIEW OF THE FOREIGN SCENE

advocating peace in the Middle
East:
. To call attention to Soviet in
fiuence in the area.
. To reinforce the peaceful pose
OF Bulganin and Khrushchev In
Britain.
. To restrain the Arabs and thus
reduce the risk that World War III
might grow out OF a small war
in the area.
AS Secretary Of State Dulles
pointed out last week, the United
States already has tacitly acknowl-
edged the Soviet Unions role in
the Middle East by taking the
problem Of maintaining peace
there TO the United Nations. Mos
COW demonstrated late last summer
1t was q power to be reckoned
with when it arranged the sale
OF Czech arms to Egypt and Of
fered non-military aid.
In this one move the Kremlin
threatened to upset the Arab-Is-
rael balance of power; encouraged
the Arab states to put of their
economic development until they
could destroy Israel; confronted the
United States. Great Britain and
France with the prospect OF COM
ing TO 1srael's rescue II she we're
attacked. and raised the added pos
sibility that Moscow might throw
it, weight behind the Arabs in
little Korsa-type war there.

this country to lift underdeveloped

Mr.. Stevenson. on the other hand,
deplored what he considered q pre-
occupation with our military de-
lenses and O general drift in our
policies. He suggested the United
States stop brandishing its military
power; halt H-bomb tests for awhile

do the same; consider transferring
the administration OF our foreign
aid to the United Nations to deprive
Moscow OF its competitive bidding

SOCIAL BENEFITS
Republicans Claim

Republicans score themselves
high on social progress. Social Sc
curity, they say, has been extended
to 10 million workers and benefits
have been liberalized. Unemploy-
ment insurance benefits have been
extended by Federal law to 4 million
additional workers, bringing the
total to II million. Workmen's COM
pensation laws have been improved,
the minimum wage was raised to 81,
directly affecting the pay envelopes
OF more than two million workers;
military and Federal civilian work.
ers have received pay increases, and
older workers and those physically
handicapped have been given In
creased opportunities for work.

Progress. in . political season,

mind. For Republicans 1t Is one
thing. for Democrats another.
Republicans have keyed their
drive for the reelection Of Presi-
dent Eisenhower to the three Up"
slogan-Peace. Prosperity and
Progress.
For them. progress is a sort Of
catch-all word. intended to convey
economic and social advances on a
broad front-encouragement Of the
free enterprise system, reductions
in Government spending and taxes.
benefits for workers and rapid
strides toward ending segregation.
Democrats, on the other hand,
discount Republican claims for what
progress the country has made in
the last three years as window
dressing" They contend that by
shrewd merchandising" the Re-
publicans are attempting to take
credit for accomplishments result
ing from adopted Democratic
policies and from actions Of the
Democratic-controlled Congress.

Democrats Reply

Advances that have been made In
the social fleld, the Democrats an
Swer. spring from Democratic pres
SursS rather than Republican. The
Republicans are opposing further
liberalization Of the social security
law now before the Democratic
controlled Congress. And the min
imum wage law Of 81 was set at
that figure over Mr.. Eisenhower's
request for only 90 cents.
The segregation issue is one on
which the Democrats must tread
lightly. They say the Republicans
are seeking to make political capital
out Of an explosive issue. Attorney
General Brownell's request to set
UP q civil rights division in the
Justice Department Is viewed as
coming too late for anything but
political purposes.

EVERY OTHER BED
Angry Author Assaults

Through the ages. the mentally
Ill have suffered from the neglect.
and too often the brutality, too, of
the more fortunate.
Indeed, until the time of the
French Revolution. when Pinel and
luke championed their cause, they
were looked on as almost subhuman
and as possessed by devils. In this
country, too. little was done for
them; they were thrown into dun
geons or 'farmed out" to the lowest
bidder. In the middle of the last
century, Dorothea Lynde Dix awak-
ened the public conscience and Sc
cured the establishment of hospitals
dedicated to humane care and
treatment-St. Elizabeths among
them.
But her gains were not uniformly
permanent. In 1908 Clifford Beers
again stirred the public, lapsed into
apathy after Miss Dix's campaigns,
with his Mind That Found ITSELF"
and a squirt of improvement was
noted. More recently Mary Jane
Ward, with her Snake Pit" di-
rected attention to the shortcom-
ings of the State hospitals. Thus
progress, such as it is, has been
made by leaps and starts; each
time there was hull following, but
the level was at least somewhat
higher than the preceding one.
