road quiets doubts about him

all to reassure those who in

Stevenson had to take that
chance in order to get the
campaign of the ground. Now
he has to keep up the grueling
schedule and endless efforts
which evoked the effect he
desired. He thinks he can do
it, but the evening appearances
are clearly a strain.
His greatest problem stems
from his anxiety to be honest.
He tries to get in too much of
his story, too many facts and
figures. He seems to shun the
short word as too ugly; when
he wishes to characterize

Eisenhower Forced to Campaign
AS 6. 0. P. Candidates Grab CoottoiIs

Adlai Stevenson has set the
pace and tone of this cam
paign in a display of great
energy and versatility.
He has forced President
Eisenhower to campaign as
head of the Republican Party.
He has so inundated Vice
President Nixon that Nixon's
new look is the wonder and
awe of reporters who knew
him when.
Republican candidates with
in the States are grabbing for
the Eisenhower coattails and
are pressing him to make the
hard efforts they solemnly
promised him several months
ago would not be the least bit
necessary. Most observers now
expect a history making
Democratic Congress.
But they feel, too, that while
Stevenson has been, to coin a
phrase, closing the gap, he has
still to overtake the President.
1t is quite a task. Eisenhower's
1852 plurality was nearly six
and one-half million votes and
they were so well distributed
he got an ELECTORAL landslide.

But whenever the Democrats
are ready as it is said that
they are-to unleash their

Will Europe Respond to Challenge?

War 1.-THE idea that there
is such a thing as a European
nation, of common roots, bas-
ically common culture, and
certainly, today, com m o n
interests.
With all its setbacks, the
movement toward European
unity persists, and each new
crisis shared by all promotes it.
Only an all-European re-
spouse to today's challenges
can rejuvenate any of the ma
tons of Europe and give their
younger generations, who bas-
ically reject both Americanism
and Russianism, the will to
create new social and political
forms, organically rooted in
European tradition.
Thus, the uncomfortable re-
lations between America and
the European states may, in
the long run. contribute to a
highly desirable end-Europe's
united collaboration. Not
against America. Nor, perhaps,
against Russia.
Since the world is not dead,
something new is always hap
pening.

Both Parties Believed to Be Saving
Sunday Punches to Arouse the Voters
CONSTANTINE BROWN

What secret weapons will
be put into use by the con-
tending political parties be-
fore November 6 is a better
guarded secret for the time
being than the atom bomb
during the war.
Political observers in WASH
ington feel, however, that
something dramatic will be
needed to rouse the average
voter. One party is now re-
lying only on you have never
been so happy and prosperous"
and the other is counter
attacking with maybe so, but
we can give you much more"
And the electorate, which has
heard this before, is becoming
bored. Nobody takes Nixon's
cry for two cars in every
garage and three television
sets in every home" any more
seriously than Stevenson's
promise of pensions for all at
top wage level and at the same
time a drastic reduction in
taxes.
In private conversations it
is admitted by professional
observers that there are in
fact no real issues between the
parties except that they both
would like to be in office.
The Republican claims that
they have brought peace to
the country are not being
countered by the Democrats
with a real analysis of the
situation, but by the promise
that I'VE can make this into
a really lasting peace"
The Democrats could answer
their opponents claims by
pointing to the Suez Canal
crisis. the mystery of the IT.
day long Tito-Kremlin secret
discussions, the possibility of
Europe becoming a neutral
third force" as a result of the
heSitant attitude Of the Ameri-
can Government in the Suez
matter and the failure of the
administration to obtain the
release Of American prisoners
of war from Red China.
The raising of these matters
would put the Republicans
more on the defensive than
the accusations that the party
favors big business and neg
lects the little people," This
is a piece of demagoguery
which may take well with the
ADAers and the extreme So
claliSt fringe of the Democra-
tic Party but not with the
rank and file Of the voters.
Such campaigns can be sue
cessful in countries like Britain
or France where the industrial
worker never dares hope to be-
come more than a foreman, a
department store clerk more
than a floor walker, and all
hope only for a modest pen
sion at the end of many years
of labor. But in a country like
ours where everybody aspires
to become a big business man
or top executive of the con-
Germ which he joins in an

humble capacity. the alleged
favoritism to big business does
not excite anybody or make
much political hay.
The Democrats do not wish
to tackle the issues which may
throw our present we'll being out
of gear-the international sit
uation-because they fear the
issues may boomerang. Demo-
cratic administrations were
in office during the three costly
wars we have fought since 1917.
And one of these has re-
suited in the strengthening of
democracy or its processes
throughout the world; neither
did they accomplish the Ma
tons desire to fight wars to
end all wars. World War II
in particular, while destroying
one brand of totalitarianism,
has favored the birth of an
other more deadly kind-Rus-
sian MISUNDERSTANDING to-
talitarianism, which is threat
ening America more directly
than that Of Hitler and Mus
Solini.
To any Democratic attack
against the foreign policies of
the present administration, the
Republicans have their answers
ready. The Korean War, for
instance, cost us more than
100000 casualties and some
SIS billion. The expenditure
would have been worthwhile
had not the campaign against
the North Koreans and Chi
neSe Comm unistS been
thrown by, let's say. the
timidity of the Democrats who
yielded to our allies and did
not prosecute the war to its
logical conclusion-total VIC
tory-aS the field commanders
demanded.
These issues will not be
brought to the fore by the Re-
publicans because they believe
that the past must not be re-
suScitateo. But it is believed
by Washington observers that
if the Democrats decide to
liven up the campaign by more
pungent attacks against the
administration and deviate
from their present 1--WE can do

licanS are ready to hurl back
at them the charges that they

Since I am a Democrat,

more adherents as the Amer

President Eisenhower has

real weaknesses of the Amer

the fact that the American
people, perhaps even in the
midst Of a nuclear war, can
not continue their Com
mander-in-Chief in office If
he happens to be finishing a
second term during a crisis.
The President says that
adoption Of the Twenty-second

President to two terms was
not wholly wise" and that the

able to choose for its Presi-

regardless Of the number of
terms he has served" The
Twenty second Amendment
was adopted by two-thirds of
both Houses Of Congress in
March, 1947. and after ratifi-
cation by three-quarters Of the
States was proclaimed in
February, 1851.
Mr.. Eisenhower has never
before expressed himself on
the subject and did so only
because the question was
asked by Ed Morgan of the
American Broadcasting Com
pany at a press conference a
few days ago as a result of
talk in political circles that a
President in his second term
might lose influence with Con-
gresS. Mr.. Eisenhower thought
not and pointed out that the
next aspirant would want a

weakness arises when a Chief

According to the British his

fate Of civilizations is deter

spond to challenge.
Since the end of the eight
zenith century Europe, cradle
and home of perhaps history's
greatest civilization, has been
acceleratedly destroying her
self, through the rivalries of
inter-European nationalisms.
At the turn of this century
the only great powers were
European Including imperial

imperial powers held sway over
most of the globe. Rivalries
and wars were between them.
Both world wars originated as
inter-European struggles. Each
left Europe so weakened that
at the end of the second not
one great power. in modern
terms, existed between the
English channel and the Rus
sian frontier, while some had
disappeared altogether.
During World War I Russia
was shaken by a revolution
that brought her, not closer to
but farther from European
civilization. Austro-Hungary,
a centuries-old great power,
disintegrated, and during
World War II, all its parts
except small Austria fell, first
to Germany and then TO Rus

cation Of the parliamentary
system of indefinite tenure for
both Congress and the Presi-
dent was a far better way to
protect the Nations interest.
AS it is, the Twenty-second
Amendment not only deprives
particular individuals of the
opportunity to serve the Gov
eminent in its highest post,
where experience in Office is
so important, but it deprives
the people as well of their
opportunity at any time to
draft the most experienced
man they can find to serve
them. especially in emer-
gencies.
When President-Elect Will
son was asked in February,
1918, by congressional COM
mittee his views on a pro-
posal for a constitutional
amendment limiting a Presi-
dent to a single term of six
years, he replied that he be-
lieved four years is often too
long and sometimes four
years is not long enough, de-
pending on how good the
President happened to be, and
that he hoped some day the
American people would estab-
