countries less fortunate than we are the acquisition Of great
wealth and power are in themselves cause for suspicion and
alarm. Then, also, the United States finds itself in the posi-
ton Of having to back France and GreR Britain, great CO.
lonial powers, to the dsmay and dissatisfaction Of many, and
the delight of the Soviets.
Mr.. TRUMANS TRIP to Europe could have been turn
ed into an excellent opportunity for a triumphant tour Of good
will and friendly influence. He is not a military man, nor
would he be on a mission seeking anything, military bases,
areas, support or what have you. He is already highly regard
ed by the countries whose economies were saved during his
administration and a visit now, as representative of-the
United States could have clinched friendships as few other
things could.
BUT SUCH ARE the ways of politics. The United
States as a whole is missing one Of its best opportunities in
the diplomatic field because the present President and the
former President are Of different political parties.
IT IS a PITY that politics can be made into such a mon
.ster that it even tends in certain ways to defeat the best in
tereStS of the nation.

GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY LOST

THERE ARE strange ways to politics, 50 strange that the
bystander often is left aghast.
ON MAY IL, former President Harry Truman left for a
two-month tour Of Europe. While there he will, Of course,
visit England, where Oxford University will confer an honor
ary degree upon him. This trip of the former President offers
what, to many, seems the most wonderful opportunity tore
present the United States as an official ambassador of good
will.
THERE ARE CERTAIN historical facts which can
neither be contradicted nor dismissed, and these facts remain
even though the principal actors at the time were not to the
liking of everyone. Nj. Truman, perhaps more than any other
man in the United States is associated with the stand the free
world took towards Communism and its enSlavement. 1t was
during his administration that Italy was wrested from Com
munism; that France staggered through a dangerous period;
that the Marshall plan saved the free European nations from
falling into the Communist trap; that Greece and Turkey
stood their ground.
IT WAS DURING Mr.. Truman,s administration that
the United Nations was led to face up to the threat of aggres-
sion in Korea. Later Vice President Nixon conceded that this
step was one Of the most significant within the last decade.
The Truman name, the Truman administration, therefore, are
most closely associated with the struggle Of the free world to
maintain its freedom and stave off ENHANCEMENT to the point
Of subservience to Communism.
SINCE THE DEATH of Stain the leaders Of the Krem-
lin have seemingly embarked upon a course of action design
ed to win friends. To India, Burma, PaEistan and other Asian
countries they went, promising economic aid and extending
the hando friendship and brotherly love. And many of those
nations, ate it up
BUT WHAT Of the United States? Is it going out of
its way to make friends and influence people, or is the U. S.
