Some observers think Stew

kind of political ambivalence
voters often display. 1t is
seen in the curious combina-

No modern President has
won without carrying q Con-
gress of his own party into
Office with him. President
Eisenhower set one record
when he lost Congress in the
middle of his first term. 1t i.
widely suggested that he could
set another by returning to
Office hand-in-hand with q
second Democratic Congress.
This would amount to the
voters deciding in favor of
dead center or close to it. But
if they like the Democrats as
much as they have appeared
to since 1852, but still like Ike,
it could happen.
That this thought has oc-

United Western Europe would
have had the whole hearted
Endorsement of the American
government. 1t would have
dovetailed with our own politi-
cal philosophy and would have
added strength to the wall we
feel compelled to create to stem
the march of communism in
Europe and Asia.
But the idea of European
unity is now being advocated
and pressed by the French and
British. They both feel "be-
trayed" in their vital interests
by our attitude on the Suez
Canal affair and in Africa.
The new bloc is enthusiastic
cally Endorsed, not only by
Chancellor Adenauer-who has
been its most vociferous expo

1t is the only bipartisan policy
accepted in Germany today be-
cause they see in it a collective
Western European rapproche-
ment" with the USSR which
would end the present division
OF Germany into two separate
republics.
The return of the Saar
region to the sovereignty Of
the West German Republic
was one Of the most significant
moves toward the creation of
the new bloc. 1t was greeted
by the French press-except
the Communist, which still
does not yet know which way
to turn-as the most moment

the Nations biggest industry.
Would the workers in those
plants be benefited if a
Democratic administration
gets into power and starts
breaking up these companies?
Employment in the State of
Michigan would take a decided
drop, and there would be a
chaotic period of stagnation
if the Federal Government be-
gan to take over or to regulate
the motor car industry.
Working for the Govern
ment means, Of course, that
labor unions lose their right
to strike-their most impor-
tant lever in collective bar
gaining. Radicals who favor
Government ownership as the
alternative to big business
operations had their way a
few years ago in England, for
example, when the Socialist
Labor Party voted to have the
government take over the steel
in dustry. But the people
repudiated this at a SUISSE
quent election.
Despite all the denunciation
of big business there is no
clear definition in the present
campaign by the Democrats as
to Just what they consider
wrong about the larger COM
panies. If those companies are
violating the antitrust laws
and aren't being prosecuted,
there could be a case made.
But the denunciation from the
Democrats is of big business"
in general.
When it comes to enforcing
the antitrust laws, the Eisen-
hover administration has been
just as jealous, if not more so,
as its predecessors. The other
day a business executive who
heads a large corporate en-
terprise was saying privately
to this writer:

cratic administrations in past
years put together"
An attempt is made con-
stantly by the Democratic
spokesman to place big BUSH
ness" in the position of seeking
TO eliminate unions. Actually,
unions derive their right to
exist from statute of Con-
gress. and no candidate or
spokesman on the Republican
side has proposed the repeal
Of the law-given right of the
unions to bargain collectively
through representatives of
their own choosing.
What, apparently. is back of
the drive against big business"
is an effort to create a hostile
atmosphere to the private-en-
terprise system itself-to culti-
vate the ground for the intro
duction of state socialism. Yet
no body of workers in the
world enjoys the high wages
and the high standard of liv-
ing which has been obtained
for these workers under the
private-enterprise system.
1t isn't clear what are the
affiliations of the Democrats,
themselves, with big business"
Thus, Adlai Stevenson last year
was not adverse to accepting a
fee from a big corporation
which he represented as law
yer arguing a case before the
Supreme Court. There are
many Democrats, active in the
campaign, who are members Of
law firms which derive much
of their proceeds from big
business.
The truth of the matter is
that it is not the professional
politicians but the radical or
CARNATIONS working for the
election of Stevenson which are
really hostile to large business.
Hence, it is surprising to see
Adlai Stevenson adopting the
anti-busineSS arguments of the
radicals. This can only result
in grave doubts being aroused
among workingmen as to what
would happen to them if a
Democratic administration
comes into power after a cam
paign based so definitely on
speeches hostile to business.

be one of complete neutrality
in the event of a conflict be-
tween America and the Com

clusion that the NATO which

clusion that they no longer

The big business" argument
which the Democrats, from
Adlai Stevenson down, have
been using can boomerang
and there are signs already
that it is doing so.
The point made by the
Democratic nominee is that
President Eisenhower's ad-
ministration is dominated by
big business. influenced by big
business, and hence is hostile
to little businesses and to the
Workingman.
What this implies is that
there is something unethical
and improper about the Presi-
dents record in Office. that
somebody has allegedly ben

ingmen and women of America
and that the Republican Party
is really a vague kind of po-
litical conspiracy by big busi-
ness to destroy organized labor
and to bring hunger and
torment to every worker in
America. This is more than
political bunk. 1t is willful
nonsense. 1t is wicked nom
sense, and they know it."
Turned over to the other
side of the coin. the Repub-
lican speakers can make a
pretty good case on what the
hostility of the Democrats to
big business could mean in
legislative moves to harass, if
not Illustrate, the larger COM
panies and prevent them from
expanding. This could discour-
age job creation and fuller
employment.

It amuses me to think that
in every political campaign
there should be a third candi-
date. entering with the Jolly
intention not to win--a kibit-
ger candidate, weighing the
analyses and promises of The
other candidates; asking
How" and "Why?", pointing
to what has been left out Of the
picture the others present, and
what of irrelevancy has been
put in; and raising fundamen-
tai issues that are not discussed
at all.
Adlai Stevenson performed
something approaching this
function in 1852. The surge OF
public opinion against "Tru-
manism' had risen to flood
level. the Democratic Party
was cracked. the Republicans
had cornered the candidate
both parties wanted, even the
South was revolving. and
Stevenson did not have a
chance.
Without a chance, he used
the opportunity to address the
American people on a high
philosophical level. He spoke
for himself. rather than for a
party which he obviously
thought considerably less than
perfect. He lost, but in losing
performed service.
Now. he and the Demo-
cratic Party have a very good
chance to win. Since the last
national election, the Demo-
Gratis have repaired their
fences in every bailiwick. They
want in--in every hamlet,
county. municipality. and con-

concentrating on getting every
