fore he never could have won.
He had gone as far as he pos
sibly could go and got into a
stalemate with other candi-
dates who likewise had gone as
far as they possibly could go.
None could get a majority,
since delegates attached to one
would go to none of the others.
This created an impasse in
which an outsider agreeable
generally to all could be
brought in to break the dead
lock-and that was Adlai
Stevenson.
For Ike : cowed Democrats,
California is clearly the big
gest shot-in-the-arm Of this
primary, preconvention sea-
son. This is because Of the size
of the Democratic vote, indi-
eating interest and high party
morale. and because Demo-
Gratis found they still have a

fauver, approaching the DEM
agogic, failed to shake loose
from Adlai Stevenson support
from such groups Of the ell
derby folks and Negroes who
voted for the 1852 Democratic
candidate in large numbers.
That indicates the latter offers
the best hope Of unifying the
Democratic that were pos
isble.
California, as the climax OF
his series of victories. was a
real personal triumph for Adlai
Stevenson. 1t was the glorious
end Of a comeback road from
Minnesota in March where he
suffered a heavy blow at the
hands of the Tennessee Sena-
tor. What Adlai Stevenson has
done since is a measure OF
his inner strength and of his
determination. Anyone who

in joining this Red coalition,
so much the better.
Marshal Tito is. Of course,
now recognized by Moscow as
the only man who can put
such a deal through. His close
contact with the Greeks. his
strong stand in favor of Cy-
prus, his prestige among the
Balkan ''gauleiters" and his
thunderous voice in world af-
fairs make him the ideal choice
to lead such a confederation
for the greater glory Of the
Communist goals. Moreover.
Marshal Tito's closeness to the
Arab leaders and particularly
to Prime Minister Nasser gives
him a strong position in the
eastern Mediterranean.
Diplomatic observers also
have noted that the Italian
Communist chieftain. Palmiro
Togliatti, visited him in Bel
grade just before Marshal
Tito's departure for Moscow.
According to what has trans
pired from Communist quar-
tiers in Rome, Togliatti's mis-
sion was to bring about a
closer coordination between
the Italian Communist Party
and its Yugoslav brothers.
Thus the ultimate result OF
the present conferences be-
tween the Belgrade and the
Kremlin leaders is expected
to be that Marshal Tito will
become the dominant figure
not only in the Balkans but
also in the strategically vital
eastern Mediterranean.

President Eisenhower doesn't
often make mistakes with his
impromptu remarks at press
conferences but, when he does.
it usually has international
repercussions. He almost pulled
the rug from under his whole
foreien-aid program by letting
it be implied that nations
which stay neutral" in the
cold war" against Communist
imperialism can still get A.
nancial benefits from the
United States.
The President fell victim to
the oft-repeated a1ibis Of the
''uncommitted" nations which
argue that, since the United
States stayed neutral" during
the first century or more Of her
existence, such a policy now is
justified for them. This mac
curate statement of American
history has been repeated
often by various spokesman
for and champions of the
"neutralist" cause in Asia,
but it is surprising to see the
President accept it and give it
to his press conference as a
valid argument.
Eisenhower's exact words
were these:
IF you are waging peace.
you can't be too particular
sometimes about the special
attitudes that different coun-
tries take. We were a young
country once, and our whole
policy for the first hundred
years was-or more, 150-we
were neutral. We constantly
asserted we were neutral in the
wars Of the world and wars in
Europe and antagonisms."
But what are the facts? In
1901, the United States de-
clared war on Tripoli, which
had interfered with American
shipping in the Mediterranean.
Millions for defense, not a
cent for tribute" was the bat
tie cry.

it entered a world war, known

causes were the impressment
Of American seamen on the

In 1921. when the Russian
Gear issued his famous order
extending Russian claims in
the Pacific and closing the
Bering Strait to commercial
shipping of other nations, the
young American republic, by
diplomatic note. publicly chal-
lenged the action.
In 1928, the United States
served notice in what became
known as the Monroe Doctrine
that the American continents
were no longer to be consid-
cred as subjects for future
colonization by European pow
ers and that this country would
consider dangerous to its peace
and safety any attempt on the
part Of the European powers to
extend their system to this
hemisphere. This was a par
ticipation in world affairs
which, coming from the young
republic. was bold and defiant.

Three days of flashing rain has spawned floods in Denver and in parts of the Rocky Mountain area today, leaving hundreds homeless and millions of dollars property damage.

 The complaint charges that the United States in contravention to both oral and written statements, failed to negotiate the price of tin and compelled the US. Tin Corp, to operate at loss.
 The complaint also states that the corporation accepted aid from the government because the US.
