was plenty big ultimately.
From all this he offered
himself as the symbol of de-
liverance when, toward the end
OF his 1852 campaign for Pres
ident, he announced dramatic
cally that he would go to Korea
If elected. That denoted his
intention for peace. When
eventually it came and the
country continued prosperous,
he blossomed into the benefi-
cent overload in the public
mind of the peace and pros
perity" from, which the Re-
publican Party took its cam
paign slogan for this coming
1856 election.
He has become an image
which it is difficult for the
Democrats to assail. Now how
ever, as a result of his two
successive illnesses in a year

his reins on government, the
critics are beginning to en-

A mellowed Oxford-honors
man is, of course, no good at

Everybody's Waiting for Harry

Stevenson can't win the cleo
ton.
The best rumor from this
camp is that if Stevenson can't
be stopped any other way, Tru-
man will let his name go before
the convention, with Hartman
as his Vice President. Only
when Truman speaks out
forthrightly, as soon he must,
will such reports fade utterly.
There are too many old
timers in the party who have
not been able to find them
selves a niche in the Stevenson
camp or who sincerely don't
like him personally or politi-
cally for it to be otherwise.
Historically, no President
can bequeath his staff or his
personal following to a success
sor. In the case of Truman and
Stevenson. the two men are so
different, the changes would be
even greater than usual.
To an extent, Stevenson has
bridged the 1852 gap by max
ing old pro James Finnegan his
manager and deliberately Gull
tivating the party organization.
There still are many new faces
in his immediate circle.
Truman is arriving early for
the convention in order to
testify on the foreign policy
plank. There he certainly will
speak up, for he is known to
feel that isolationism is resur-
gent, not by design OF the
Eisenhower administration, but
through its weakness.

detriment of the private ex-
press companies.
1t was a Republican Presi-
dent - BENJAMIN Harrison -
and Republican leadership in
Congress which in 1890 fought
against corporations and en-
acted the basic antitrust law
of today, known as the Sher-
man Act.
Likewise, it was under the
Republican administration of
President Calvin Coolidge
that a Republican Congress
passed in 1926 the first statute
granting union labor the right
to bargain collectively and re-
quiring railroad management
to deal with the representa-
tives chosen by the unions.
1t was Republican PreSi-
dent - Theodore Roosevelt -
who used Federal power to
intervene in big coal strikes.
In 1912, as a presidential
nominee. he advocated the
recall of judicial decisions by
the people through referendum
votes.
Over the years, the Republi-
can Party has been endeavoring
consistently to white down
States rights. The Democratic
Party just as consistently up
held States rights until the
administrations of Franklin
Roosevelt and Harry Truman.
They became converts to the
doctrines of Hamilton and
Madison-the original sponsors
of the Republican Party con-
cept of Capitalization of power
in the Federal Government.
Today only in the South
does the original Democratic
Party survive. The imitators
Of the Republican Party DOM
mate the Northern wing of the
Democratic Party and call
themselves "the party Of the
people" whereas, in fact, under
the last two Democratic adj
ministrations many funda-
mental rights were taken away
from the people which it had
been thought were reserved to
them under the Tenth Article
of the Bill of Rights of the
Constitution.
Today it could be said that
President Eisenhower is trying
to "remake" the Republican
Party in the image of Ruther-
ford B. Hayes, while Adlai
Stevenson is trying to re
make" the Democratic Party
in the image of Theodore
Roosevelt and a long line of
Republican antagonists of
States rights. But the mere
mention of these paradoxes
emphasizes the gradual de-
terioration of consistent prin-
ciple in both major parties.

Dire and For-Reoching Consequences
Feared If Allies Take Suez by Force

There are two strange facts
in the present crisis between
the Western and Middle East
ern nations.
One is that our British and
French friends, who have al
ways urged us in the past to
use the utmost caution" in
the Far East lest Russia enter
the conflict. seem to have re-
versed their position.
The second is that despite
the undeniable threat Of war.
the United Nations has been
completely ignored.
Neither London nor Paris.
although both have ordered
their air, naval and ground
forces to stand by for action,
seems to be worried about
Moscow's attitude.
This reporter asked highly
placed and well-informed off,
cial in Washington whether
there was any IDEAL" with the
Kremlin to justify our allies
complacency. The answer was
a very positive: Certainly
not"
1.-THE seizure of the Suez
Canal Co. came as a complete
surprise to all of u.s." he
added. There could not have
been any preparatory deals
with the Kremlin or we would
have known it,"
The consensus in responsible
quarters here is that our allies
are playing with fire in the
hope of saving the remaining
shreds of their empire. They
expect that their imposing
military preparations might
scare President Nasser into
accepting an international
control over the operations and
revenues of the new national
lied Suez company. This. 1t
is feared here, may be q far
fetched hope.
The only legitimate reason
to compare Nasser with Hitler.
as the French foreign minister
has done, is that like the Nazi
dictator, Nasser has the fanat-
ical backing of the Egyptian
masses. which for the first time
in thousands Of years enjoy
certain freedoms and are con-
Sidered as human beings in
stead Of cattle.

tive at the central figure in
our politics for the last four
years, as we approach the
nationl political conventions
and another presidential cam
paign. We can see in Dwight
d. Eisenhower an interesting
paradox in the role of Chief
Executive.
1t can be simply stated by
merely pointing out this: that
for a President who has had
perhaps a greater reservoir OF
power in his hold upon the
people than any peace-time
President, or even a wartime
Executive, he has done COM

create a program and to re-
shape his own party and re-
orient its course.

History Cited to Prove Republicans Urged
Federal Aid Policies Before Democrats

vancement of "the welfare
state"
History shows also that it
was only after Presidents
Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Harry Truman came to the
White House that the Demo-
cratic Party adopted the Re-
publican Party's philosophy
which had long advocated a
centralized government and
Federal spending to benefit
particular groups and local
areas.
1t may come as a surprise
to some persons today to learn,
too, that the Democratic Party
before the days of President
Wilson was the party of
isolation" in world affairs.
William Jennings Bryan, DEM
ocratic presidential nominee
in 1900, made his principal
campaign against Imperial
ism"-which is how he char
acterized the acquisition of the
Philippines by the United
States. He said this would
inevitably force America to
become a world power"
Although Woodrow Wilson.
a Democratic President. veered
away from the Bryan doctrine
and tried in 1919 to persuade
the United States to join the
League of Nations, it was a
Democratic presidential nom
inee-Franklin D. Roosevelt
who in 1882 came out
against American entry into
the league and, after his cleo
ton, broke up the interna-
tional economic conference in
London in the summer of 1888
and again moved America
toward isolation"
In these days, moreover
when removal of tariff barriers
is supposed to be Democratic
Party doctrine and an anath-
ema to the Republicans. It
is interesting to note that a
Republican President, William
Mckinley, was the first Pres
ident to champion "reciproc-
ity' with Canada and the
principle of reciprocal trade
concessions.
History furnishes many an
other example which makes it
difficult to generalize about
political parties. Thus, it was
President William Howard
Taft, often referred to as an
odd Guard Republican" who
struck a big blow at private
enterprise when he and the
Republican Congress put the

you check and discover that
the President, himself, never
called on his reserve power,
never put pressure, personally
and individually, on members
OF his party in Congress to
follow his desires in the way
some of his predecessors did.
He confined himself mostly
to public messages and appeals
which may look good on the
front pages of newspapers, but
don't do the Job.

today is a natural development
from the course he took when
he entered the White House.

If there were a $4,000 ques-
ton contest in the category of
political party doctrine, and if
most news writer's and stump
speakers who constantly use
such phrases as "Old Guard
Republican" and New Deal
Democrat" we're being quizzed,
it would be interesting to learn
how many would answer cor
rect!y the following query:
"Was it a Republican or
Democratic President of the
United States who, prior to
the year 1852. uttered the fol-
lowing statement in a public
speech:
Wherever a public i'm
provement is of national i'm
portance. and local and pri-
vate enterprise are inadequate,
the general government should
undertake it. Wherever in the
United States the local sys-
TENS of popular education are
inadequate, they should be
supplemented by the general
government, by devoting to the
purpose the public lands or,
if necessary. appropriations
from the Treasury of the
United States"
Most persons in the political
world today would guess that
this was New Deal doctrine
of the Democratic Party. Some
would say it was Thomas E.
Dewey, presidential candidate
on the Republican ticket,
speaking in 1913, when he was
being accused of making "me
too" speeches derived from So
called Democratic Party doc
trine. Others would say this
was President Eisenhower
talking and that he was ''re-
making" the Republican Party
and Initiating" the Demo-
Gratis.
But the two sentences quoted
above came from the lips of
Rutherford B. Hayes, Presi-
dent of the United States,
speaking at a soldiers reunion
in Columbus, Ohio. in August,
1880, in the midst of a Re-
publican campaign in which
he was a spokesman for the
Republican Party.
Further researches will re-
veal that it is the Republican
Party which, by means OF
subsidies, reclamation projects,
appropriations for rivers, har-
bors, dams and waterways and
the use of Federal funds to
