Mr.. Nehru's Voice of Reason

and with whose help? And just
what do they think they will
get as a successor?
If President Nasser behaves
in the future as Mr.. Eden
seems certain he will, he will
not have a supporter in the
world. outside perhaps, the
Arab states, and he and his
country will go bankrupt. But
/ have never yet heard that a
man can be arraigned for what
it is presumed he intends to do.
Whatever agreements may
be made to replace the 1888
charter which would anyhow
expire and revert to Egypt in
IL years, must firmly establish
the conditions under which the
canal is to be operated and
provide sanctions against
breaches of contract.
President Eisenhower's is a
moderating voice.
The plain fact is that our re-
lations with Egypt and the
Arab states have deteriorated
as they have because we have
been devoted to picking other
nations and peoples chest
nuts out of the fire. We have
not. thereby. helped either
them or ourselves.

Truman BIunders in Endorsement

favoring Hartman was issued,
there are fewer today because
many have just gone over to
Stevenson.
Some observers think Tru-
man is playing a shrewd polit-
ical game-that he really
doesn't favor Hartman but
wants a deadlocked conven-
ton so he can get a COM
plimentary nomination him.
self or bring out another
henchman. Senator Syming-
ton of Missouri, who also held
various Offices under Truman
and was an integral part of his
administration.
1t is considered odd, how
ever, by many influential
leaders here that Mr.. Tru-
man, by indorsing Hartman.
deserted his own Missouri
favorite son even before the
first ballot.
The arguments being made
against Stevenson behind the
scenes are diverse. Some don't
like him and can't say Why
it's a kind of whispering cam
paign that sometimes emerges
in politics. The usual refrain
is: Il don't know why, but I
just don't like Stevenson"
There are many members of
Congress in the various State
delegations. Tosthem the con-
tention is made that Steven
son ran behind the Democratic
Party's Congressional ticket
in 1852 in several States. But
so did Harry Truman in 1913.
Actually the people four
years ago were protesting
against Stevenson as the top
of the ticket because he bore
the Truman stamp of ap-
prevail. The Congressional
candidates in 1852 were able
in many cases to disassociate
themselves publicly from the
Truman regime, and they won.
Stevenson is today the front
runner and, based on all
presidents in similar situa-
tiOns, he should win the nomi-
nation. The South can beat
him and deadlock the conven-
ton, but the Stevenson man
ayers control the strategy of
the resolutions committee and
can keep out of the platform
any language that could cause
the South to "secede." Steven
son is still the best bet for the
nomination, and Truman-be-
ing a loyal party man-would,
OF course, support him and
campaign vigorously for him
if nominated.

DORIS FLEESON
Trumon's Political Motives

If he wins. he will be 10 times
as effective a candidate as
before.
The South, too, must re-
think its problems and OPP
portunities.
Its leaders came here de-
termined not to walk out and
thinking that Stevenson was
the best of a bad bargain.
In their hearts they know
that Truman, who won with
out the South in 1948 and who
has not forgotten it, thinks
this is the way to win again.
Yet there are SouthernerS
with ambitions which blind
them to the practical realities
of National politics and who
may want to fish in troubled
waters.
There are, of course, South
ernerS too who realize that
regionaliSm does not pay of
in National power.
1t is significant that the
people around Truman here
are the same people who at
tempted the abortive coup
with Vice President Alben
Barley in 1852. Among them
are former National Chair
men Frank Mckinney and
William Boyle. All this group
know that with Stevenson in
the White House, they would
be barred from the high coun-
ellis of the party.
They are not trying to get
delegates for Hartman, they
are trying to keep them from
Stevenson. Truman is their
man. Delegates who hold con-
versation with these men re-
port that they do not claim
Hartman can be nominated,
they only insist that Steven
son must be stopped.

Now, despite how strongly
the Western powers may at
tempt to confine the London
conference to the Suez Canal,
the USSR will unquestionahly
bring to the fore the matter
Of Observation-Disclosures of the
other main waterways of the
world.
The Russians will insist that
what is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander, too. IF
the Western powers oemaiid
that the Suez Canal, which is
in the territorial waters of
Egypt, become an interna-
tional affair, SO then should
the Panama Canal and the
Dardanelles, the Reds feel.
We were willing to have q
showdown with the Muscovites
over the Dardanelles 10 years
ago next November. There is
far more reason to resist by all
available means any Russian
attempt to place the Panama
Canal under multi-nation con-
troll. No American administra-
ton, no matter how much it
is dedicated to peace at any
price, can possibly accept this.
Yet the signs are all here that
Comrade Shepilov, who will
represent the USSR at the
London Farley, will insist that
the matter of other water
ways be taken up and solved"
at the same time as the seizure
by Col. Nasser of the Suez
Canal Co.
According to informed
sources, President Eisenhower
will not demand a special ses.
sion of Congress. But he is
said to have indicated that the
situation may become so grave
after the London conference
that he may have to ask Con-
gress to reconvene for a few
days to give the administra-
ton full power to deal by every
means at its disposal, with
forthcoming developments.

Democratic and Republican
congressional leaders were
summoned urgently to WASH
ington to discuss with Presi-
dent Eisenhower and his chief
advisers. the present world
crisis which stems from Presi-
dent Nasser's naturalization
of the Suez Canal Co. But it is
the urgency of our own posi-
ton in regard to the Panama
Canal which is preoccupying
Mr.. Eisenhower and the whole
Congress.
The turn of events involv-
ing the American waterway
linking the Atlantic and Pacific
was not unexpected by our
diplomats when the Suez crisis
broke and the United States.
Britain and France summoned
the London parley with the
Russians invited. But optimists
hoped that because. of the new
look in Soviet policies. the
conference would be confined
exclusively to the subject of
Nasser and the Suez Canal.
Regardless of what differ
enceS may exist between Re-
publicans and Democrats on
foreign issues, such as recog-
milton or non-recognition of
Communist China, no Ameri-
can administration can even
conceive of internationalizing
the Panama Canal.
The situation is entirely
different from that in Egypt.
We have a treaty with the Re-
public Of Panama granting us
perpetual rights in the canal
zone where we keep a military
establishment. Because of the
commercial, and particularly
the strategic sensitiveness of
the Panama waterway, the
Soviets know that we will never
agree to its internationaliza-
ton.

which appeared two weeks ago
to Mr.. Dulles as an excellent
solution to calm down the
storm which had just broken

at least was the consensus of
the three chiefs of staff who

decision to support Gov. Har-
rirnan.
Mr.. Truman, of course,
didn't plan it that way. For
he is the last man in the
world to accept the theory
that the people voted against
Stevenson in 1852 primarily
because they thought he was
too closely tied up with the
Truman crowd in that mess
in Washington"
If it becomes evident now
that Stevenson would not be
the tool of Truman in the
White House, many hundreds
of thousands of independent
votes could go to Stevenson in
key States.
Examined from every angle
that means something in poll
tics, Harry Truman's state
ment in behalf of Gov. Harri-
man was probably the worst
political blunder he ever made.
It's too bad he didn't show
his statement in advance to a
few experienced advisers. For
they would have drawn his at
tention to the most fragrant
blooper in his announcement
an unintentional boost for
the reelection of President
Eisenhower. The Republicans
certainly will be quick to
quote and re-quote the latest
truman doctrine as expressed
in this sentence from his
statement:

Certainly Mr.. Eisenhower, if
inaugurated on January 20

better than any other man.

through "a period of costly and
dangerous trial and error" He
will be much more familiar
