Time To Recall Sacrifices During

1t is quite appropriate to mark
Flag Day on June IA, Governor J..
Caleb Boggs declared this week,
as a time to recall the sacrifices
and stresses which prevailed prior

tional independence. The chief
executive said that citizens should
be mindful of the fact that the
flag is the emblem of a form of
government in which we place our
trust for our future freedom
and to which we constantly pledge
our loyalty and devotion. Gov
ernor Boggs called for a display
of the national and state emblems
on public buildings and urged that
patriotic exercises by civic, vet
eran and fraternal groups mark
the occasion. His proclamation
follows:
Whereas, the flag of the United
States of America has come to be
regarded as the emblem of liberty
and freedom throughout the
world; and
Whereas, Delawareans should
be particularly proud that the
first white star in the upper left

resents the First State; and
Whereas, deliberate thought
should be given to the worlds of
our Pledge of Allegiance to this
banner and the nation for which
it stands, that under God, It shall
always be symbolic of liberty and
justice for all who live under its
government; and
Whereas, the week of June 10

Minnesota is basically a
Democratic State. It used to
be one of the sure" Repub-
lican States. But it went
Democratic in the five presi-
dental elections, beginning in
1882. In fact, when Truman
carried it in 1948, he polled
692,966 votes, which was better
than the 608.458 that Steven
son got in 1852 and higher
than the 589,864 that Franklin
D. Roosevelt polled in 1914 to
carry the State. 1t was also
better than Roosevelt's 1910
vote of 644,196 and almost as
high as the peak Democratic
vote of 698,811 which Roosevelt
attained in 1886.
But, despite all these figures,
there are well-informed per-
sons in the newspaper field in
Minnesota who say that Eisen-
hover has a good chance of
carrying the State in No
vember, though it will be close.
Looked at solely from the
standpoint of total votes cast
the big question is: Why did
only $4,000 voters of both
parties participate in the 1856
primary and only 642,006 in
the senatorial primary in 1854,
while 1,138,952 voted for Sen
ator in 1854, when a Democrat
won-in an "off year" election
and 1,387,419 voted for Sen
ator in 1852, when a Repub-
lican won? The apathy of the
voters about primary contests

try except In the one-party

The exercise Of the presi-

winning of an election is sales
manship. The two activities
and functions are not the
same.
The President of the United

the people - Republican and
Democrat alike. In office he is
not, and should not be, more
than the titular head of his
party. He is, in fact, the Chief
Executive of that great con-

governments and peoples of

is essential, therefore, that he
say precisely what he means,

He will do less whistle-stop-
ping and make fewer major
speeches in the primaries. But
alternative methods still have
to be found.
Stevenson'S difficulties go
far beyond loss of prestige and
problems of revamping his
approach. He has had no i'm

evitably there will be some.
Hoped-for accessions of
strength can be forgotten.
From now on, Stevenson will
get only hard-earned support
and no band-wagon jumpers.
Some comfort, cold though
it is, has come in from Min

Stevenson was, in part, done
in by Republicans in a cal
culated plan to discredit the
Democratic Farmer Labor
leadership which sponsored
him and to give Mr.. Eisen-
hover opposition from the
candidate generally thought
the weakest among Democratic
aspirants.
The strategy, said to be the
work of Harold Stassen, back

yer and Stevenson are beating

only helped to swell a tide of

ministration that was already
flowing strongly.

The plain and starkly simple
reason that the British have
found it necessary to take the
fortnight stand they have
adopted on the Cyprus ques-
ton is economic survival. The
British standard Of living is at
stake, and Britons of all polit-
ical hues know it.
Cyprus is the last remaining
British guard post for the pro-
lection of the wealth of the
Middle East oil fields. Egypt
has finally succeeded in GUST
ing the Union Jack from Suez;
the last of the garrison there
has departed. Malta is too far
to the west and too small for
a major military base. There
remains only Cyprus, that
island alone out of the once
far-fiung British possessions
and spheres of influence in the
Mediterranean east of Gibral-
tar.

paper with the strongest For
eign Office and Downing Street
connections and never given to
rash or radical statements.

Cyprus she CBritain) can
not maintain her standard Of
living" And there it is.
The Eden government has
been so plainly backed to the
wall on the issue that resort to
the power diplomacy of the

outside the Iron Curtain had

for Communist propaganda

Regardless Of Preside nt
Eisenhower's health there are
good reasons why neither he
nor any other incumbent Of
the presidential Office should
go on a whirlwind, whistle
stop campaign.
A President is elected for
four years or 48 months. Elec-
ton campaigns usually begin
seven or eight months in ad-
vance of the polling-this one
certainly has-and rise to their
height Immediately after the
conventions, during two and a
half months. A President is
employed by the American
people to carry on his duties
during all of this time. So
what business has he taking
off weeks and weeks to get
himself reelected?
How anyone can properly
fulfill his official duties while
taking to the hastings in the
usual manner of campaigners
Is beyond my comprehension.
The duties and responsible
ties Of a President are as
onerous as any in the world.
They demand constant, de-
liberate attic tion, which
requires peace, quiet, and a
considerable amount of seclu-
sion or partial seclusion, con-
facts being confined to those
cabinet officials and their ex-
perts who collect information
and assess the weight of the
arguments in favor of this or
that policy, and members of
Congress. especially the critical
committees, whose advice may
be valuable and necessary.
The Office demands above all
thought, evoked by wide and
continuous knowledge of all
the factors involved. This re-
quires carefully reading i'm
mense numbers of reports or
digests of them; listening to
the arguments and opinions of
experts, and bringing delibera-
ton and reason to bear upon
a multitude of subjects and
problems. It demands differ
ent mental attitude than that
involved in campaigning.
A campaigner is out to get
votes. His advisers are not
concentrating on formulating
and recommending wise pol
icies; they are concentrating
on how to win the labor vote,
the farm vote, the votes of
various organized minorities;
the approval of the business
communities; the sanction of
various regions. etc.. etc.
