Eisenhower Sets Record Struiqht

publican regime in Washing
ton will not be as generous rs
the Eisenhower administra-
ton in providing foreign-aid
funds-and Nixon is supposed
to be on the nongiving side.
Stevenson is really the favor
lite in Europe.
The British newspapers in
question might well have
taken to heart what a weekly
periodical, the London Econ
omist, of July 81 reported
from Washington:
Mr.. Eisenhower's first rea-
son is the same as that which
kept Sir Winston Churchill so
long in Office. 1t is the sincere
conviction that because he
provides a personal link with
the wartime spirit. he can, if
given time, make some great
stroke for peace"
One wonders why these
same British newspapers.
which were so considerate in
the case of Sir Winston
Churchill's illness, cannot give
equal courtesy to the Presi-
dent of the United States.
From June 81, 1858, when the
Prime Minister suffered a
paralytic stroke, until he him
self announced that fact on
March 2, 1855, in the House
of Commons after he had con-
valesced, the British press
printed nothing about it-a
period of more than a year.
and-a-half.
The illness, Churchill re-
vealed, had interfered with a
trip he had intended to make
to Washington after Stains
death to arrange for a four
power conference. 1t was a
time when he had to suspend
much of his official activity.
What Eisenhower said this
week ought to be published
widely in Britain-for he isn't
being bounded" by anybody.
He himself wants to run. He
is appreciative of the chance
to serve his country--and he
knows his own mind. It's the
same mind which commanded
the large allied force that
helped to save England in the
last war and one that deserves
better treatment from those
newspapers in Britain.

Now a S0ve-Nixon Campaign

his official declaration of war
on Nixon showed that he
meant business and created a
turmoil among the Republic
cans, particularly those from
the Middle West and West
Coast.
These men, mostly from
what still is called the Taft
wing, object more to the
methods adopted so shortly
before the convention by what
they describe as the palace
guard" than to a possible de.
sire of the Republican dele
gates at San Francisco to have
a change. There would have
been plenty of time. they say.
after Eisenhower's nominal
ton to discuss who was best
fitted to be his running mate.
And if the nominee for Presi-
dent were to say that he did
not insist on a particular per-
sonality. there would have
been ample time to talk over
the matter among the chair
men of the various delegations.
StasSen's taking the stump
against Nixon now is described
by the center and right-of-
center Republicans as a def
mite attempt to impose a
candidate of Stassen's own
choice in the expectation that
the ruckuS which he started
would induce Eisenhower to
agree.
The prospects of Nixon's re-
nomination are considered by
those close to him as pretty
fair. But it is realized by those
who do not want a left-of-
center Vice President that UNI
less they get into action at
least a fortnight before the
convention Nixon's chances
may be seriously jeopardized.

Abuse Won't Solve Suez Crisis

has required. on the part of
the West, sympathetic under
standing based on a long view.
The Arabs, like all peoples who
have been left for centuries in
the backwash of power and
progress. are extremely touchy.
They react bitterly to slight,
abuse, or an attitude of con-
descending superiority. But
they also react with spontane-
GUS warmth to overtures of
genuine understanding and re-
spect. Feelings play a great
role in the affairs of nations,
often a determinant one.
Egypt is within her legal
rights in Matchmaking the as
sets of the Suez Canal Co. She
can invoke a chain of prece-
dents, upheld by international
judgment or consent. She
would not be within her rights
if she claimed uncontrolled
mastery of an international
waterway and used it for po-
.litical blackmail. But she also
would not be serving her own
interests. In a struggle Of
sanctions, the West, though it
also would suffer. would be
much stronger than Egypt.
But it is not to Western in
terest to bring economic dis
aster upon Egypt. 1t is to
nobody's interest. except, per-
haps. the Communists.
One must. however, think
twice about International con-
troll of the canal. Are we pre-
pared to do the same with the
Panama Canal, or support the
same program for the Darda-
nelles? One thing leads to
another.
Finally, why were the West
ern foreign Offices so taken by
surprise? Did it never cross
their minds that the Egyp-
tians, in the deterioration of
relations eliminating in the
brusque. even brutal. rejection
of the Aswan dam project,
might play that card?

DAVID LAWRENCE

There are some people who
claim to love Ike so much that
they aren't going to vote for
him because they hope he will
then live longer. Then there
are those who are going to
vote for Ike but somehow feel
he has served his country well
and merits a rest.
Perhaps the best answer to
all this solicitude came from
the lips of Eisenhower him
self, at his press conference of
Wednesday.
The President was told by
one of the newsmen that
around Gettysburg many of
his neighbors were saying they
would vote for him but they
wished he wouldn't run be-
cause they feel he has done
enough. and they are afraid
he will not live another four
years. Here was Eisenhower's
comment as officially re-
corded:
well, sir, I would tell you,
frankly, I don't think it is too
important to the individual
how his end comes, and GER
tainly he can't dictate the
time. What we are talking
about here is the Importance
to the country, and it happens
that at this moment the
Republican Party apparently
thinks I am still important to
them and to the country. And
since I believe so much in the
Republican Party. and I be-
lieve that it needed rebuilding
so badly-an effort which l
have been making, as you well
KNOW said l would continue
to try.
But this is a decision that
the American people are going
to have to face. I am flattered
by what you tell me about my
friends and neighbors at
Gettysburg, but I have made
up my mind this is the thing
I should try, and we will see
what the American people
have to say about it"
The foregoing is MASTER

point of view. His life is

a future war, for land needed to
defend the Canal and the citizens
and government of Panama.
The basic issue now and when
both canals were built, was that
the waterways be kept neutral

times in both peace and war.
This guarantee was included
in the 1888 Suez Canal Conven-
ton and Egyt's President Canal

The 1900 Hay Pauncefote
treaty between the United States

open to vessels of commerce and

Panama Half as Busy
President Nasser has estimated
the Suez Canals annual collec-
ton of traffic tolls has reached
500 million.
The Panama Canal Co. took in
$37 100000 in the 1856 fiscal
year ended June 80. It's traffic
of BATS transits is about half
Suez's traffic, which carries
much of the Middle East oil, Mr..
Whitman said.
The Panama Canal is operated
and regulated financially by the
Panama Canal Co., a govern
ment corporation managed by a
l3-member board of directors
appointed by the Secretary Of
the Army, acting as personal
representative Of the Presidnt.
The Canal Zone, itself, is gov
erned by an officer of the United
States Army Corps of Engineers.
I Income from tolls is used to
operate the canal and to replace
and enlarge its facilities. Mr..
Whitman said that since 1851
the company has paid Sis mil
lion to the United States Treas
ury toward reduction OF the
governments investment in the
canal.

obvious to those familiar with
conditions in Egypt than that
such a revolution would come.
All the conditions. external
and internal, we're ripe for it.
Whether President Nasser is
equal to such leadership has
not been decided by history.
He is young and shares the
impulsive and emotional Arab
temperament. These. assets in
appealing to masses. are not
assets in governing a country
whose economic and social
problems are enormous, many
of them inherent in nature
herself-or in nature as she
has taken her revenge on CEN
turtles of neglect and misrule.
The revolution overstimu-
lated the hopes of the Egyptian
masses. The most idealistic
will to achievement, which l
believe President Nasser has,
cannot help but be impeded by
the realities of the problems
his government faces. which
require for their solution wis

to guide and restrain.

both squalidly poor and pro-

a more equable distribution
and use of resources within
itself.
And its development also re-
quires Western understanding,
cooperation and aid.
Egypt cannot get what she
needs from the Soviet Union
and Red China, and President
Nasser knows it. A break with
the West would also end the
position of neutrality he has
carefully cultivated.

as he can be helpful to his
country. he keeps on taking
risks. 1t is for the greater
authority-the people-to say
whether he shall or shall not
have the opportunity for fur
ther service.
Members of the cabinet who
have talked intimately with
Eisenhower about his philos-
ophy say the principal reason
for his desire to serve on is a
belief that he can do some
thing constructive toward
world peace. He is convinced
that this is a critical time in
world affairs and that as a
soldier he must not think of
risks to himself but of the
cause that can be of the largest
benefit to mankind.
The Presidents comments,
moreover, disclose something
else-he has not been forced
into a decision by the politi-
clans. He wants to run be-
cause he thinks he can be use
full to his country.
Nothing could be more de-
pressing than to read of the
bad taste of two British news
papers in recent weeks. Under
date of July "a. the United
Press reported that the Lon
don ews-Chronicle said that
"if the suspicious were ever
proved well-founded that a
great political party was ready
for its own ends to hound this
man Eisenhower beyond
physical endurance, it would
never be forgiven"
The Socialist newspaper,
Daily Herald, of London
said bluntly: THE effort may
well kill Ike. If it does, we who
like him-and all Americans
will curse the Republican
Party. If Ike is President
again, it's a near certainty
that his stablemate. the I'M
speakable Richard Nixon, will
finish off his term. The truth
is that Ike is in no state to
run again as President.
To understand the forego-

President Eisenhower has

persons familiar with foreign
spying methods to register with
the Attorney General even
though they are not now foreign
agents.
The law is aimed at uncover
ing potential agents by making
their knowledge or training in
espionage or sabotage a matter
of public record, and thus per-
haps stopping them from going
into subversive activities later.
Persons presently acting as

Republicans Expected to Take Stump
To Counter Stossen's Herter Drive

The men who are expected
to start counteracting the
dump-Nixon move are not
necessarily admirers of the
Vice President. They believe,
however, that Stassen already
has done real harm to Repub-
licar1 unity and might actually
split the party if his present
plans are allowed to proceed
unchallenged. They do not
buy" the contention that
there must be an open con-
vention for the vice presiden-
tial nomination. The presi-
dental nominee has always
chosen his running mate and
the delegates have always in
the past followed the wishes of
the standard bearer.
Because of Eisenhower's still
uncertain health, the vice
presidential nomination has
assumed far greater impor-
lance. Still. say the save

highly improper for a men,
Der of the inner sanctum of

And Stassen, it is pointed

which he Is Secretary for

A number of representative
Republicans, including some
influential members of Con-
gress. are expected to take
the stump soon for Vice Presi-
dent Nixon to counterfeit Har-
old Stassen's dump-Nixon cam
paign.
Some of these Republicans
have not been in the Vice
Presidents corner in the past.
Their reported intention to
start a save Nixon" move
ment, after the >equivocal in
dorsement given him by Presi-
dent Eisenhower at his We'd
nesday press conference, is the
result of their belief that any
running mate of Stassen's
choice might spell defeat for
the Republican Party in No
vember.
Stassen's contention that
Nixon would be a serious Ii
ability with the rank and file
of voters is denied by Repub-
licans who plan to take the
stump. They declare the con-
trary is true. Their own in
quiries of their constituents
show a strong grass roots trend
for the Vice President, who is
better known than many con-
tenders suggested by Stassen.
The Nixon supporters fear
the strenuous forthcoming
campaign planned by the for
mer Minnesota Governor might
seriously affect the delegates
at the convention in San
Francisco. The lukewarm ac-
colade accorded the Vice Pres
ident by Eisenhower might be
successfully exploited by the
Stassen group.

Home Office Has
Choice OF Dramas

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Over the
recent months we have re-
ceived requests from scatter
ed sections of the country for
Croatian plays.
The enacting of a play,
Croatian or English, is good
for creating another sidelight
to our Lodge life. The prac-
tees leading to the day when
the general public sees the
play afford the members of
the cast a medium of gath
ering oftener than the once
a month Lodge meetings.
Assuming a part in the cast
should fall to younger people
in the Lodge rather than, as
is often the case, the older
members. A part in the play
may give some American or
Canadian born member an
opportunity to all the better
acquaint himself or herself
with the mother tongue, Gro
attain. Even taking part in an
English language play has its
merits and fits well into fra
ternal aspects.
For plays to embellish your
Lodge or Nest social pro-
gram, we ask that you write
to the Sports Educational De-
partment at the Home Office
where same are available
with the compliments of the
Croatian Fraternal Union. In
many cases we can give you
sufficient copies of the play
you select to make unneces-
sary any transcribing by you
