Critics Charge That Foreign Policy
Hos Put Nation in Diplomatic Fix

1t is difficult to recall when
the State Department has been
in worse odor with Congress
and to a certain degree with
the American public than it is.
now. The fact that its officials
from the top down are working
overtime does not mean that
they are working constructively
and well. Members of both.
houses of Congress who ard
supposed to know little more
than the general public are
irked at Secretary Dulles more
than at his underlings. The
man in the street. when he
happens to read or think about
our foreign policy makers,
merely realizes that we are in
a worse fix today than we have
been in many years.
The bulk of the Senate men,
bership and substantial num-
Der of representatives are an
noyed with Mr.. Dulles be-
cause they feel that he has
been less than candid in his
presentation Of the various
problems of international re-
lations at closed door sessions.
They appreciate his vitality
and capability of working hard
and travelling much even when
he feels physically under par.
They also appreciate his dedi-
cation to his thankless job and
his, determination not to re-
linquish it voluntarily. But this
does not mean, they say pub
licly and privately. that Mr..
Dulles has handled the inter-
national situation skillfully.
Instead of sharing his prob
lens and troubles with the
representatives of both parties
in Congress and putting down
on the dotted line his diplo-
matte difficulties. he is de-
scribed as lacking in candor.
and ION occasion prevarica-
ting" Moreover, his critics say
he displays a stubbornness in
defending his own Judgment
which reminds the legislators
of the trial lawyer who is de-
termined to win his case at any
price.
This kind of criticism of the
Secretary's temperament is not
confined to members of the
opposition but is also shared by
many stalwarts in the Rapub-
lican Party who in the past
have gone overheard to sup
port him, There is no question
that the manner in which the
Secretary of State has handled
himself at the hearings con-
corning the Middle Eastern
doctrine has hurt him with
that portion of congressional
membership more than any,
thing in the past. But it was
his treatment of the Israel
Egyptian conflict which has
actually caused the present
anger among conservative and
liberal" members of Congress.

Secretary of Stote Needs Freer Hand
To Help Formulate Foreign Policy

Congress has authorized a
number of assistant secretar-
les to administer the different
divisions of the Department of
State, but what is needed is a
world policy council of which
the Secretary of State would
be chairman. This would be
the planning instrument
Of the department, and it
should not be left to staff men
and subordinates to carry on.
The suggestion is not new,
but it has an even more COM
pelling reason in the state of
world affairs today than when
it was first mentioned by this
correspondent in an article on
November IA, 1952-before the
present Secretary of State was
selected and when the whole
concept was presented on an
impersonal basis. Here is the
way it was set forth at the
time:
Last May (1952) this writer
was sitting in Gen. Eisenhow-
er'S office in Paris chatting
with him about fundamental
principles of governmental or
ganization. The General lis
tened attentively to some
thoughts about present-day
government derived from many
years of intimate contact with
the Government at Washing
ton. Before l began, the Gen.
eral had said:
~ want new ideas. I don't
know what the future holds in
store for me but. if I am called
to a high position of respon-
Sibility. will want new ideas
THE main idea that I sug-
gested was based on this real
iStlc fact: Our national Gov
eminent today has become too
big to be run by one man.
Even some of the big Gov
eminent departments are too
big to be run by single cabi-
net officers to whom vast pow
ers are usually delegated.
Making the foreign policy of
the United States nowadays is
almost the biggest responsible
ty in government. 1t covers

DAVID LAWRENCE

Sometimes - in fact, too
often in Government - the
obvious is overlooked.
Today it is obvious that no
one man can run the entire
Government of the United
States. and in the same sense
no one man can run the De-
partment of State, either.
The tasks are too big. and
the position of the United
States in world affairs is more
exacting than at any time in
it's history.
A cabinet whose members
are freed from administrative
responsibilities and which
could sit as a council for the
President every day If neces-
sary would help him shape
national and international
policies.
The problem in almost every
Government department is the
same - the responsibilities
have grown so large that no
one executive head can adj
minister and also have time
to think about the making of
policy.
Although the Constitution
gives the President the duty
of conducting foreign rela-
tons, this has always been
delegated to a Secretary of
State. He. in turn. has had
to rely on ambassadors abroad
with the natural limitations
imposed upon them in getting
promptly information con-
corning world problems.
But today, with intercon-
tinental telegraph and tele-
phone, communication is
instantaneous. Cablegrams and
reports by telephone and letter
pour in every hour from all
parts of the globe. No one man
at the head Of the Department
of State can examine them all
and have time for anything
else. Also, personal diplomacy
direct contacts with the
heads of other governments
is tremendously important and
takes time away from WASH
ington.

and double talk" which had
not been heard in the Senate
cloakrooms since the days
when Mr.. Dulles predecessor,
Dean Acheson, made his ia
nous speech in February, 1850,
leaving Formosa and South
Korea outside our defense in
the Pacific perimeter, are be-
ing uttered once more. None of
his critics doubts the staunch
Americanism of his heart and
mind. But they feel that in
his seeming eagerness to
prove himself the twentieth
century's Talleyrand," he
wants to be all things to all
men. So much for the initi-
ated.
In as far as the general
public is concerned. all that
the man in the street can
hear and read these days is
that conditions have consid-
erably deteriorated all over the
world since the summit con-
ference" at Geneva in 1855.
Generally speaking. the
American public leaves the
handling of international re-
lationS to those fellows in
Washington who know all
about it." For more than Is
years John Q. Citizen has been
told that Britain and France
were essential to our welfare.
Since the end of World War
II he was successfully fed the
myth that our own security
required the closest co-opera-
ton with those two European
powers. All their meanderings
in fields contrary to our real
interests were covered up by
whatever administration may
have been in Office in Wash
ingtOn. Nothing was too eX-

Texas Special Senatorial Election
Eyed by Top Political Chiefs Here

Eyes of top political leaders
here in both parties are
trained on the free-for-all,
winner-take-all, special sena-
torial election in Texas April
2 for the vacancy created
when Senator Price Daniel re-
signed to become Governor.
If the personable Republi-
can candidate-Thad Hutche-
sons Mould possibly win
against a field of 20 Dem
ocratic candidates who will
split UP that party's vote
then there would be roper
cussions here Of considerable
moment.
That would make the SEN
ate lineup 48 Republicans
and 40 Democrats, thus open
ing the way for Republicans
to seize control Of the Senate
since Vice President Nixon
could cast the deciding vote.
Though some doubt the long
range wisdom of Republicans
taking over control in mid
session, the party's Senate
leader - Senator William F..
KnoWland of California-has
indicated that is his intention
If Texas produces a Republi-
can victory.
That would give him pres
tige and power, since commit
tees would be shifted over to
Republican control. and an
opportunity TO make a record
for himself before he retires
from the Senate in 1853 as a
basis for his own campaign for
the 1860 Republican presiden-
tial nomination. He would take
over majority leadership, ironi-
cally enough. from a Texan,
Senator Lyndon johnson, who
occupies that post now.
Much is at stake for both
parties and for President
Eisenhower. with whom Sena-
tor Knowland differs on some
issues.
