Presidents Minor Role in Report to Nation
Seen Watering Down Paris Achievement

II came as q surprise and
even a shock to Washington to
find President Eisenhower act
ing as little more than master
Of ceremonies for the report to
the Nation on the NATO con-
ference.
The President, by constitu-
tional and historic precedent.
holds the paramount power In
foreign affairs. The country
looks to him. and so does Con-
gress. However boldly members
may speak as individuals, Con-
gress rarely ventures to cross
the President In foreign policy
and then only under extreme
provocation.
The Capital has been pre-
pared to see the President dele
gate much Of his power over
domestic affairs to his cabinet
and the administrators Of the
independent agencies. 1t well
coined his decision TO attend
the NATO conference and con-
centrate his energies on the d.
rection Of foreign policy. When
reports from Paris stressed his
force and capacity there. a les
sening OF tension here was i'm
mediately apparent.
Valid reason no doubt exists
for the decision that the Pres
ident should play a minor role
In the report TO the Nation on
what went on there. Perhaps
the President Is overtired and
1t was thought best not to give
him too long a script to read.
II may be that he has q fresh
program with which he would
prefer TO be identified.
But the unmistakable effect
was anti-climax. II even made
the Paris results seem less ef-
fective than actually they were.
For 1t is no mean feat to hold
a defensive alliance together
when an aggressor seems to be
going strong. This was achieved
at Paris against odds.
The administrators ghost
writer's have frequently made
less seem more important. This
time they failed even In the
showmanship which has been
their trademark.

The economic situation In

much better for the average
inhabitant Of this colonial
area than Red rule is today

which obeys Moscow's
agents.
In recent weeks the anti
Communist sentiment inside
Indonesia has been rising.
and IL Is important for the
non Communist countries
not TO become entangled in
the internal situation there.
But certainly the time has
come to champion the prin-
eiple Of simple honesty in
international affairs as
against the stealing Of pri-
vate property. coupled with
brazen demands to extort
political concessions from q
foreign government as the
price Of recovering the stolen
property.
It makes many observers
wonder whether the same
thing isn't likely to happen

selves now being forced out
by q nationalist movement
