First Hurdle Seen in Selection of Leader
Of Conference of G. O. p. Senators

The first test of Eisenhower
Republicanism in the new
Congress will come with the
selection Of a chairman Of
the conference of all G. o. p.
Senators to succeed retiring
Senator Eugene Millikin of
Colorado.
Together with Minority
Leader William F. Knowland
of California and Senator
Styles Bridges of New Hamp-
shire, senior Republican of the
upper house, the conference
chairman will be the brain
trust of the party, legislatlvely,
speaking. Knowland and
Bridges are together, per-
sonally and philosophically.
They are we'll to the right of
the President; if he is to have
a spokesman in the inner
circle, 1t must be the con-
ference chairman.
The Vice President, of
course, presides over the SEN
ate, but he only reigns and
cannot govern, When the SEN
ate is tied he can cast a de-
Gliding vote which may or may
not be a very important one.
He must. however, wait to be
invited before he advises the
Senators what to do.

conservatism have all express
ed a willingness to run the
conference. None seems so far
to have any particular
strength. BY combining, the
avowed Eisenhower Repub-
licans should be able to name
the man.
The legislative test Of the
President as a mover and
shaper of the new Republican,
ism will not lag far behind.
With six liberal Democrats
committed to pushing a civil
rights program, the Republic
cans are going to have to go on
record promptly in some FASH
ion. The Democrats say they
will move to amend the rule to
make it easier to break filibus-
tiers. That would put it up to
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon to rule on whether that
motion itself is debatable in
definitely, as the Southerners
contend.
In a similar situation during
the famous "80th-worst" Con-
greSS, a Republican presiding
officer. the late Senator Ar
thur Vandenberg, ruled for the
South. The usual combina-
ton Of Southern Democrat
and conservative Republican
votes upheld him.

TOKYO. tBy Airmail) The
failure of the Big Three, and
particularly of the United
States. to do more than stress
their strong disapproval of the
Soviet massacre of the Hun
garian patriots has made a
deep impression in Japan; not
because of the horrors per-
petrated by the Reds but be-
cause it showed the Western
powers as being helpless and
incapable of acting, with
strength.
Eleven years ago the proud
armed might Of Japan was
crushed by the Americans, and
their emperor-god had to bow
his head in submission to the
American pro-consul, Gen.
Douglas Macarthur. Five years
ago the Japanese witnessed the
quick action Of the United
States when it ordered its
forces in Japan to go across
the sea to rescue the South
Koreans and punish the Red
aggressors.
Inasfar as the Japanese are
concerned the invasion. of
Hungary by the Russian in
fantry and tank divisions is in
no way different from what
happened in Korea five years
ago. Yet, the great Western
powers contented themselves
with condemnations, strong
criticism and other platonic
actions without taking re-
course to the. one thing which
would have shown their strong
feelings and yet not led to
war: Breaking diplomatic re-
lationso with the USSR. G
The Communist supported
Socialists in this country and
the very many expansion
lists" are likely to make capital
of this. They have forced the
hand Of the Tokyo govern
ment, which is weak and I'M
imaginative, to resume full re-
lations with Russia. Now they
are pushing for intensified
trade relations with Commu-
mist China. While Washing
ton did not voice more than a

StobiIizing the World Situation

that resolution, how can there
be much respect for the u. N.
today unless it insists now
that the canal be open to all
nations?
The United States is trying
to steer careful course and
has by no means sided with
Egypt. as so many critics seem
to think. Nor is the WASH
ington government disposed to
raise Nasser's prestige-for this
is something nobody can do
except NaSser himself, and
then only by reversing his
course as an aggressor and
stooge for Soviet Russia in the
Middle East and paying heed
to the solemn word of treaties
and international agreements
which his government has
signed.
The first step in the Amer
lean governments policy look
ing toward a long-range pro-
gram in the Middle East is
concentrated on the with
drawal of British and French
troops from Suez. But the
London and Paris govern
ments have every right to an
nounce now that If the U.N.
fails to get an agreement, they
will feel justified within 80
days in sending their military
forces back again. With
drawal, therefore, need not be
interpreted as surrender" or
as a victory for any side-un-
less it's for the side of nego-
tiation and reason.
President Eisenhower is
trying by his own attitude of
calmnesS to turn the public
psychology from thoughts Of
war and military force to an
emphasis on moral force and
reason. There are lots of
problems to be taken up
promptly, and one of them is
clearing the wreckage in the
Suez Canal-and how it is all
to be paid for-but there is no
need for hurry about settling
the question Of control Of the
canal. Time always helps to
cool passions.

tiously, its ties with Red
China.
For the time being. there
are official relations between
Peiping and Tokyo. But Com
facts" are increasing. Japanese
politicians, including rock
ribbed conservatives, are visit
ing the Communist capital. So
are trade leaders. There is
already political talk about
establishing permanent eco
nomic and cultural exchanges
between the two countries
with officially recognized
commissioners" These would
enjoy a senidiplomatic status
such as the Russian fisheries
commissioner enjoyed until
the Soviet-Japanese peace
treaty was signed recently.
For some time there have
been several rather dormant
Japanese Russian cultural
societies on the islands. Since
the new peace treaty with Rus
STA, these societies. such as the
Japan-Soviet Mutual Assist
ance Association, have sud-
denly bloomed into full active
ity.
Recently the Japanese par
ticipated in the Peiping Trade
Fair, where they lost face be-
cause of the unbelievably
shoddy articles displayed and
sold to the unwary Chinese.
There are frequent exchanges
of teachers and students, and
it goes without saying that the
Red Chinese who visit Japan
are skilled propagandistS. The
Japanese who go to the MAIN
land may have been of two
minds inasfar as Communists
are concerned. But when they
return they usually have been
sold a bill Of goods. This is
true particularly with women
teachers and students.
Japanese tycoons who now
enjoy greater prosperity than
their fellow lndustrialists and
bankers in America and who
lead an unprecedented life of
luxury, are returning from
their visits to Peiping full of
enthusiasm for drastic i'm
provements in relations with
the Red Chinese.
