The purpose of Senate ma
neuvering on foreign aid is to
force President Eisenhower to
take full responsibility for
whatever amount is approved.
The White House is putting
pressure on the Senate to re-
store all or at least the greater
part of the 81 billion the House
cut from the administration
bill. Dissatisfaction with both
the bill itself and White House
management of it is wide
spread on both sides of the
aisle.
Democratic Leader johnson
and Republican Leader Know
land are not directly cooper
ating with each other, though
that is the net effect. Each is
working with Senators of his
party to put the monkey
squarely on the Presidents
back.
They feel amply justified in
doing so. In a changing world
situation, the President is only
continuing along the old paths
in foreign aid and asking for
more money to do it.
This tactic has decidedly
failed to capture public imagi-
nation or communicate a sense

nationalist Senators have
warned the White House there
is much more to the problem
than that.
They warned sherman
Adams early this week that the
administration had not made
its case for the restoration of
the House cuts. When nothing
happened, Senator Johnson
openly and Senator Knowland
by indirection began to put
this argument before the
country.
The President injured his
side, too, by his fiat refusal to
help Senator Wiley against the
Wisconsin isolationist organi-
zation at home which has re-
fused to indorse the Senator
for reelection. Eisenhower did
not even add a kind word for

AS the heavy House vote for
the $1-billion cut proved, other
Republicans feel they have
nothing to lose by opposing
the President in this area.
Democrats, too, are on notice
that virtue is its own reward,
a noble slogan apt TO be hon.
ored in the breach during an
election year.
Senator Knowland would
like to save the Presidents
face. He hasn't the votes
and must depend on what
johnson can do with the
Democrats.
The majority leader has
been checking around. He
finds his party more disposed
than at any time in years to
vote independently on inter-
national policy of all kinds.
Some honestly feel the for
eign aid policy is outmoded.
Others say the President can
not have it both ways: He
cannot campaign on peace and
prosperity and let them take
the rap at home for high taxes
and a bigger foreign aid bill.
The current guess on the
outcome unless the President
can pass miracle is for a
deep slash in the bill and a
close vote.

u. S. Efforts to IndustroIize Nations
Believed One Reason We Are Hated

in 25 years has meant the
sacrifice of a whole genera
ton of Russians.
The disturbing thing is that
all the underdeveloped coun-
tries are now bent on the
same goal. and that the
United States is rivaling the
Soviet Union in pushing them
on to do it.
No less than the Russians,
we are preaching the virtues
of uprooting all ancient ira
ditions and ways of life and
exporting know-how in order
to speed up the industrializa-
ton and mechanization of
every nation and tribe.
Whether we know it or not,
that is one reason we are
hated.
The only defense that men
have against the dehumaniza-
ton of life created by a radi-
cal revolution of mechanical
ton, inevitably accompanied
by Capitalization of political
and economic power, is the
force of inertia.
But America has hardly more
respect for peasant and craft
societies than the Soviet Union
has, and we have more visible
busybodies around the world
preaching the dissatisfaction
to be found in steel mills and
tractors than the Russians do.
Our supersalesmen boast Of
the mechanical society; of the
superiority Of the engineer to
the poet; Of the assembly-line
mechanic to the artist-crafts-
man; of the great merged farm
mechanically operated, over
the peasant small-hold worked
by mules or oxen.
Our statesmen are bent on
making the prime aim Of life
production and consumption,
on mechanizing and proletari-
anizing mankind as rapidly as
possible. The Russians, who
operate more subtly. must be
happy at our will to create a
proletariat which they will
then teach the leaders how TO
control. For II men are sud-
denly uprooted from all an
Gent traditions and VISIONS
they have to be controlled.

Regular Weapons Seen Still important,
Fer Foes Moy Shun NucIe0r Warfare
DAVID LAWRENCE

The biggest news story in
the world today - and the
hardest to write-relates to
the grave danger of defeat
which faces the United States
and its allies at the hands of
the Soviet gangsters who con-
troll the largest single military
apparatus of all times.
1t isn't solely a question of
atomic bombs or interconti-
mental bombers or missiles.
Even if the United States Con-
gress appropriated all the
money the Air Force is asking
for, it wouldn't alter the situa-
ton. For the next war may
never see atomic weapons of
any kind used because of the
danger of mutual destruction.
Hence. the potential value of
conventional armies with con-
ventional navieS and air forces
and conventional bombs be-
comes more important than
ever before, coincident with
some form of counter-strategy
to meet the infiltration Of
smaller countries by the enemy.
What stands out as the
central fact about the whole
problem is the virtual certainty
that neither side will use
atomic bombs or weapons, be-
cause public opinion in all
countries will prohibit their
use. Nuclear war will not be
tolerated. The threat of con-
ventional war, therefore, will
take its place. In this the
United States and its allies are
woefully weak. They have not
awakened to the need of this
deterrent, too.
The truth is a paradox
Gen. LeMay is right in want
ing all the air power he can
get as a deterrent, and Gems,
Ridgway and Taylor are right
also in wanting all the conven-
tional arms they can get as
deterrent. The three armed
services are right on the whole
in emphasizing the need for
more of each of their reSpec-
tive forces. Their disputes re-
feet an honest cropping for
some solution to the most diff
flcult problem America has.

Adenouer Reported to Have Pointed Out
We Give Impression Of Being Scared

The visit of Chancellor Ade-
nauer to Washington has been
fruitful, even though he was
not able to discuss the inter-
national situation to any de-
gree with President Eisen-
hover. He talked frankly with
other top American officials.
The Chancellor talked about
the problems which confront
not only West Germany but
the rest of Europe as a conse-
quence Of our uncertain foreign
policy. He is said to have
pointed out to Secretary Dulles
and his associates that some
public utterances by reSpon-
sible men in public life in this
country give the impression
abroad that America, for the
first time in history, appears
scared.
And If the United States.
with its immense potential and
being thousands of miles away
from Russia. is in that frame
of mind, what reaction can
be expected from the German
people who are only a hop and
a skip from the Soviet border?
Some of our allies and
friends who continue to re-
main staunchly opposed to
communism and see only a
change of tactics in the pres
ent Kremlin endeavors are
worried about what they de-
scribe as a soft" American
policy. Among these are the
Turks. Spaniards and to a
great extent the Germans.
The former are still stead
tasty refusing to exchange
top-level visitors with the Reds
despite strong urglngS from
Moscow.
But their position soon will
be weakened if more high
ranking Americans make pill
grimages to Sovietland. These
visits are skillfully exploited by
the Red propagandists to i'm
press not only the uncommitted
nations but also their own and
the satellite peoples. Until re-
Gently, these latter were con-
sidered the "secret weapon" of
the West in the event the
Soviet leaders decided to go on
a rampage. Their determine
ton to strike for freedom has
been doused, especially since
literally millions of photo
graphs were circulated show
ing President Eisenhower
claSping hands cordially with
KhruShchev and Bulganin.
Chancellor Adenauer is said
to have expressed his own
dissatisfaction with his trip to
Moscow which increased Mos
cows prestige in East Ger
many without giving him any
other advantage than the re-
turn of several thousand Ger
man prisoners of war to their
homeland. His visit also gave
credence in some West Ger
man circles to the theory that
business can be transacted
with the Kremlin. He is con-
WINGED that this is not a fact.
Other American allies and
neutral countries, on the other
hand, consider our policies
toward the Communists are
too rigid. This applies par

an estate valued at $405, 900.
A petition for probate Of his

receive the income from the
trusts for life. One trust is to be

The Value Of Conventional Arms

weapons merely emphasizes the
danger that Moscow could con-
quer Western Europe without
firing a single shot. because nu-
clear weapons would never be
used.
The Soviets have offered to re-
duce their land armies by IL
million men. This, however, is a
small proportion of their total.
1t is a clever maneuver designed
to get the West to deplete its
far smaller armies. The Commu-
nists coincidentally have begun
their parliamentary offensive,
which means infiltration in the
parliaments of Western Europe
and a stepped-up activity inside
the United States, where al
ready three Supreme Court JUS
tees say that Communist activity
is just another political party"
Thus, on the political front
as, well as on the military
front. the Communists are
threatening. The whole an
swer doesn't lie merely in
spending more money for air
power or in spending more
money than ever before to
mobilize ground armies-even
though both are necessary. 1t
lies basically in the principle
reiterated a few days ago by
Secretary of State Dulles,
when he said:
There is only one cure for
the evils of the imposed So
Wet dictatorship-that is gov
eminent which derives its
powers from the consent of
the governed. This is q lesson
that history teaches, that
KhruShchev confirms and
which needs to be applied if
we are to have a world society
of peace and justice"
This is but another way of
saying that the peoples of
the Soviet Union and the
satellite states hold the key
to peace. They must be per-
suaded to choose a free gov
eminent. It's the only thing
that can truly make the world
safe for the continuance of
democratic governments any
where. 1t requires job of
infiltration and conversion
through every avenue of moral
force. It's a job which the
West has all too long neglected.
