to the creation of great colon
ial empires. immense military
establishments, international
rivalries. and eventually
bloody warfare.
Since the end of World War
II in 1945. there has been a
great deal of talk about the
end of nationalism. Statesmen
have repudiated it as a touch
stone of national policy; phi
losophers have blamed it for
most of the worlds ills. But
whatever degree of condem-
nation it has received, and
that degree has been excep-
tionally high, the fact remains
that nationalism still is the
strongest single force behind
the affairs of men and nations.
Today's news reports are full
of the resurgence in Europe of
the old proposal for a Eur
opean federation, a sort of
United States of Europe. On
the surface at least, these
reports, we'll based as they are,
would seem to indicate that
nationalism as we have known
it in the past is a long dead
idea. But such is far from the
actual fact. Actually, the cur
rent enthusiasm for a fedora
ton of Europe, a new unity of
political and economic insti-
buttons. has its roots deep in
nationalism. Only nationalism.
The only nation in the world
today that has actually taken
seriously the theological rep
udiation of nationalism is our
own, the United States of
America. We actually have
practiced the internationalism
OF the world dreamers. We

THOMAS L. STOKES

The nearer the election
comes, the closer President
Eisenhower is becoming identi-
fed with the Republican Party.
Well, you might ask. isn't
he the leader of the Republic
can Party and running on that
ticket? True enough. But hith-
erto the President has helped
to create the image of himself
as above party. Around such a
role in 1852 was created the
crusade" as his managers
called it. His lack of a strong
party imprint also made it
easier for Democrats to vote
for him, especially in the
South, as they did in droyes.
For that reason, to hold as
many Democrats as possible,
the President has tried to con-
tinue the above-the-battle
status. Clearly it was his IN
tention to act that part as
much as possible in the cur
rent presidential campaign.
But the glitter of the Cru
SADIE" has worn off, and the
President has become more
merged through circumstance
IN the party background.
This is due, it seems. to thre
actors.
One is the need of his in
duence to help in the election
of Republicans to Congress
For that purpose he must iden-
tify himself with them as
members of the same party.
This he is doing now on his
trips here and there, as he
did in the 1854 congressional
election campaign. He asks
the voters to elect Republicans
to help him with his program.
Numerous signs point to the
grave danger the party faces
of losing Congress again, even
if he is reelected.

Military manpower may be cut
by as much as 10000 next year,
but defense spending may rise
upwards of 81 billion.
Defense Secretary Wilson gave
these estimates yesterday while
warning that the final program
for submission to Congress in
January will not be decided on
until mid-December.
The high cost of modern weap-
ons, along with increased prices
in materials, is expected to &C
count for the increase in defense
spending.
Manpower cuts will offset some
of the increased cost, however.
The relatively small" man
power reduction and increased
spending he has mentioned in
speeches, Mr.. Wilson said, prob
ably will run from 4 to 6 per cent
land certainly less than 10 per
cent"
The present strength of the
armed forces is around 2.8 mil
lion. Defense spending this year
will be in the neighborhood of
$36 billion.
Raps drop Draft" Talk
At his first news conference
since his operation September "a.
Mr.. Wilson also branded Adlai
Stevenson's campaigning for
ending the draft and H-bomb
tests as IAN irresponsible ap-
proach to some very practical
and realistic matters"
He said he was personally
disturbed" by the raising of the
draft question because it de
ceives" Americans and Con
fuses allies He said he "never
thought it was political matter"
The Secretary said not even a
is million-man force could be
maintained without the draft.
He recalled that the Democrats
themselves put the selective
service laws back on the books

Stevenson Said to Have Succeeded
In Identifying President with Party

Another factor that has
identified the President more
closely with his party is of
his own making. This is his
growing ambition to remake
the Republican Party, to mod
ernie it or, as it is put by
his, friends, to mold it into
the Eisenhower image. For this
he becomes a party man. but
in a somewhat changed party.
as he hopes. His vision still is
far from reality. he knows full
well. But the task is a chal-
longing one.
Some of the problems, in
the form of personalities, are
suggested in a current article
in Golfers Magazine by Paul
Hoffman, former administrator
in Europe of the Marshall
: Plan and close friend of the
President. He said the new"
Republican Party bad no place

and George Malone of Nevada.
who are in the party's extreme
light wing.
The President was asked
about this at his news confer
ence this week. He readily
confessed his troubles with
those gentlemen who have OBJ
posed him SO vigorously in
matters of foreign policy, par
ticularly. But he said very
frankly that he had no au-
thority to read such men out

position of the parties was a
matter for the States He
would. however, keep trying to
get them to follow his policies
in every way possible, he said.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. 49,
The rising costs of college edu-
cation are causing grave concern
to church related college ad-
ministrators. the goth biennial
convention of the United Luz
theran Church in America was
told today.
A report to the denominations
700 delegates posed the ques-
tons of how much can students
pay for their education and how
high dare the colleges raise tut
ton.
Pointing out that tuition costs
come to about so per cent of the
total education cost for each
student, the statement observed
that tuition and fees have
jumped from an average of 1899
in 1872 TO S498 last year. The
average for 1867 is expected to
reach s5l2.
Cost of Board Stressed
Cost OF board has jumped
from an average Of 1929 TO 1868,
and the cost Of room from an
average Of Sill to $l42," the re-
port stated.
It also noted these costs were
closely related to the problem
Of getting more teachers and
higher student enrolment.
1t is necessary that our (Lu-
theran) colleges have such in
come as will enable them to pay
higher salaries il they are to
compete with other colleges and
universities in obtaining the
properly qualified teachers" the
report warned.
There were l2.477 students In

are announced.
