campaign he will try to get
home again with exactly the
same technique. For his ring
ing words, while they are
highly generalized, suggest,
goals which Adlai Stevenson
had adopted as his own.
Stevenson's job clearly will
be to try to connect the
Republican Party, as it has
been constituted. and its can
didates-so many of whom are
to Eisenhower's right-to a
President who talks in this
vein. 1t will not be easy. The
record of the Democratic Con-
gresS which found itself con-
sistently compelled to support
the President proves that.
The Eisenhower tactic boxes
in both the Democratic liberal
and the Republican old guard,
neither of whom will be
anxious to attack frontally so
popular a President. 1t is fair
to suggest that it was planned
that way.
There is much to support
Eisenhowers bland assumption

it has no retreat.

intraparty strife. are closer
to each other than they have
been in Is years. When the
viewing with alarm-Demo-
cratic-and the pointing with
pride - Republica n - are
stripped away. the actual COM
mitments of each party bear
an astonishing resemblance.
In effect, Democrats are not
now trying to extend the well
fare state, Republicans are not
now trying to dismember it.
Thus, the platform platitudes
flow from old-forgotten, far
off things and battles long ago.
The Eisenhower mid d Il e
ground is left of his 1852 cam
paign oratory. but he is hold
ing it, and the party which
has so great a need of him has
not yet dared to complain.
The valid question is: With
what does the President pro-
pose to build his poi? With
his elderly cabinet so largely
drawn from the business
world? With Eisenhower Re-
publicans who in the House
and Senate have never effec-
lively challenged their old
guard leaders but often have
had to join with Democrats to
make their majorities?
The line for the poi
army forms just slightly to the
left of center, and it will be
interesting to note who joins
it.

Few Campaign Gems in Speech

that Eisenhower wants to see
the fright to work" laws of
the States superseded by a
Federal law that would render
them null and void. It sounds
inconsistent, too, when the re-
Gently proposed Federal laws
usurping the police powers of
the States are acclaimed by
the Republican platform it
self as civil rights"
Maybe the President was
trying to win back some of the
States rights" support he had
in 1852 in the South. but it is
a case where the principle
is fine, yet the application
is highly questionable-in-
fluenced by the very political
"expediency" which Eisenhower
deplores.
The passage which the prac-
teal politicians will not like
is that which disparaged the
argument about depression"
The President said that more
than 20 years ago political
victories were scored on that
point and he argued that Job
session with depression still
blinds many critics" This was
all right as far as it went, but
today the Republican Party
workers are counting on the
prosperity argument-the OPP
posite OF depression. Eisen-
hower's speech seems to dis
courage it's use on the stump.
What the President said
about foreign policy was nee
essarily implicit. He cannot
talk too specifically about such
issues. For he is the head of
the Government and not just
a candidate. But there was an
obvious effort in the Speech to
emphasize the cracks in the
Iron Curtain and something of
the Geneva spirit" There
was no bluster or partisan
ship in the address and no
talk of appeasing the Com
munists.
In most of the voting pre-
cincts, all this will be re-
garded as "highbrow" stuff.
The simple issues are how to
avert war and maintain peace,
whether times are good or bad,
and whether it's time for
change or to keep on with the
party in power. Those issues
weren't sharply delineated in
the acceptance speech. but
they are the core of the CAM
paign.

Suez Farley Ends as Expected

West, they certainly will side
with whom they consider the
strongest. And If Egypt. backed
by the USSR and India, can
give a diplomatic black eye to
the West, then the Red bloc
will have gained an impressive
victory without firing a shot.
The shooting down of an
American naval plane 80 miles
off Red China is suspected by
some officials in Washington to
be a wanton gesture of ag-
gression to add insult to injury
to the Western powers and i'm
press the Middle East with the
Vests inability to retaliate.
The patrol plane definitely
was some distance from the
Chinese Communist "air ter
ritory." The 7th Fleet is under
strict orders never to give the
Reds the slightest excuse to
start any shooting. No stern
note, such as the State Depart
ment may decide to issue. can
efface the impression among
the orientals that America,
like its Western allies, no
longer can protect its interests.
The London conference has
succeeded in avoiding military
action in the Suez Canal zone
by the British and French.
This can be claimed as q Dip
lomatic victory for the admin
istration since it proves our
determination to avoid any
thing that might even vaguely
smack of a revival of colonial
ism.
Time has been gained for

But the effects of the Lon
dor conference are felt in
other important areas. In
Morocco. a country which re-
Gently was given its full in
dependence by France, the
Istiqlal, or nationalist, party
demands the removal of all
French troops which are kept
there in line with the Paris
Marrakech treaty. The Mo-
roccan government also is
asking more insistently than in
the past that PARISH Washing
ton agreements which per-
mitted the establishment of
American bases on Moroccan
territory be renegotiated with
the Moroccan government.
In Algeria the rebellion
which started a year ago is in
creasing in violence, spurred,
the French say with docu-
mentary proof, by the agents
of President Nasser. Christian
Pineau is reported to have told
Secretary Dulles that Frances
failure in its present contest
of prestige with the Egyptian
ruler will result not only in the
fall of the present cabinet but
possibly in an internal up

The London conference
ended exactly as had been ex-
pected before it was called to
order: The three Western
powers and their associates
offering President Nasser what
they regard as an acceptable
solution to the Suez contro-
versy. And the Communist
bloc ready to torpedo any kind
of international control of the
canal company's operation.
Neither the British nor the
French have budged funda-
mentally from their position
that unless Nasser is willing to
accept the Vests proposals.
without major change they
will reluctantly" be COM
PEELED to use other devices
that is to say force.
The London conference has
served one goal of the USSR
and it's helpers - India,
IndoneSia and Ceylon. They
have created the impression in
North Africa, the Middle East
and the Far East that the
Western powers are on a limb:
that they have boisterously
announced a return to the
gunboat tactics of prewar days,
yet they have neither the
ability nor the stomach to en-
force them. =
There have been significant
developments since the French
and British agreed to a multi
nation conference to solve the
arbitrary acknowledgements
of the Suez Canal itself, which
is part and parcel of the
Egyptian territory-but of the
international business COM

flow of shipping through the
waterway.

SAN FRANCISCO.-Presi-
dent Eisenhower's speech of
acceptance was hardly the
kind that clarifies the issues
for the delegates and the party
workers. 1t was too general
and too abstract in its political
values. 1t had some very good
points and. if the address had
been confined to some of the
pithy sentences in it and the
verbiage cut down. it would
have been more effective.
1t was a good speech from
the emotional standpoint and
in personal appeal. but it was
not as helpful for the down-to-
earth debates that go on at the
precinct level.
Writing a speech of accept
ance for such an occasion in
wolves work in advance by var

final draft needs to be exam

in the case of Eisenhowers

cessions to the other side would
have been omitted. Also. the
ideas back of the main slogan
of the Republican Party
Peace, prosperity and pro-
gress"-wouldn't have been
relegated to such a minor posi-
ton.
Eisenhower himself in his
informal talks senses the big
issues and deals with them

ing in view of the record OF

Tie heart of the whole
speech-the issue which the
party workers really could am
plify-was expressed in a brief
declaration: Change really
based upon principle is prog
ress. Change without princi-
pie becomes chaos"
What does this mean? The
big audience that listened to,
it thought it perhaps to be
fine-sounding phraseology. But
imbedded in it is the difference
between government by dema-
goguery and government by
tested experience. 1t means
the difference, too, between the
drive for state socialism or
public ownership, which so
many Democrats are support
ing, and the free-enterprise
system strongly espoused by
the Republicans.
The President made another
vital point-though he handled
it rather vaguely-in drawing
attention to the growth of CEN
tralized government and the
whiting down of States
rights. He said that geo
graphical balance of power is
essential to our form of free
society" He spoke of the

Government could exercise it's

short of the kind of interior
