Mideost Plea Is Greeted CoIdN

Many of them did not believe
things were all that rosy, but
they would have preferred a
little time to get used to the
switch. The old G. o. P. isola-
zionist hackles are rising.
The Democrats naturally
now tend to look upon the Eli
senhower campaign as some
thing of a shell game. Their
defeated candidate. Adlai
Stevenson. they now realize
was at times prophetic and
might be worth listening to in
the future.
This is proved by the
harmonious relationship
achieved over the week end by
congressional leaders and the
advisory council of which Ste
venson is a member and guild
ing light. Amid the Presidents
difficulties they found how
much they had in common
after all.
Democrats will not lightly
oppose the Eisenhower plea
nor will they ever give him the
kind of ride on which Pres
idents Roosevelt and Truman
often were taken. But they
will no longer make it easy
for him either and their fru-
STATIONS over the kind Of de-
feat they took last November
6 will find expression. too.

Quick Switch From Previous Stand
Makes Presidents Bockers Uneasy

The present change Of po-
litical temper here is not alto
gether a matter of adverse
winds from abroad and par
ticularly the Middle East. The
trouble is chiefly that the
President has made a l80-
degree turn from his past
announcements about foreign
affairs rather too fast for his
own comfort.
His reelection campaign
began with the slogans of
peace and prosperity and
everything's booming but the
guns. 1t met the Suez shock
with CHEEKY assurances of
good news from the Middle
East" promised non-involve-
ment in that crisis and APP
peared to rely almost wholly
on the United Nations.
Now the reelected President
has faced the new Congress
with a sudden outline of new
commitments of vast scope
and uncertain consequences
for the United States in the
turbulent Middle East. All
this before he taxes the oath
once more.
His supporters are uneasy.

Chill second term winds
have begun to blow on Presi-
dent Eisenhower even before
he is formally inaugurated.
1t was readily apparent that
he was speaking to doubling
Thomases in his unusual APP
peal Saturday to Congress to
strengthen his hand in Middle
East policy. They applauded
only five times and then lightly
and at places almost irrelevant
to his main points. Later COM
ment also lacked warmth.
Reaction from allied and
neutral capitals and the
United Nations reflected the
same mood of doubt and ques-
ton. 1t appears that nowhere
has anyone caught fire or seen
a vision as the result of the
Presidents words.
This is a very new expert
ence for Mr.. Eisenhower for
whom the presidency has up
to now been almost a prim-
rose path. All the emphasis Of
the past four years has been
upon his intentions which
were and are good. He has had
good luck and his fellow Amer
leans have happily identified
themselves with it.

Walter Says Reds
Plan New Strategy
BY the Associated Press

Representative Walter, Demo-
crat of Pennsylvania, says Com
munists in the United States are
planning a new strategy de
signed to deceive the courts, the
Congress and the American peo-
ple."
Mr.. Walter. chairman Of the
House Committee of Un-Amer-
lean Activities, said in a state
ment yesterday the new strategy
is being developed under cover
for adoption at the national con-
vention of the Communist Party
next month.
He listed a three-fold purpose
of the new Communist plan
amend the constitution Of the
Communist Party to sever the
technical and legal connection
between it and the International
Communist apparatus. disavow
force and violence as a means of
attaining Communist detectives
and change the name and other
identifications Of the Communist
Party and its fronts.
THE purpose of this strategy
is clear; namely. to attempt to
escape convictions under the
Smith Act for conspiracy to
overthrow the Government of the
United States and to immobilize
the proceedings under the In
ternal Security Act which re-
quires registration of organiza-
tons controlled by a foreign
power" Mr.. Walter said.

powers were clearly laid down
in advance as a warning. 1t
is the failure of the United
States = and particularly of
Congress-to make clear Amer
ica's intentions ahead of time
which has been responsible for
the subsequent involvement of
America in two world wars.
Those members Of the Senate
on the Democratic side, for in
stance. who today are saying
that the President already
possesses the authority he has
asked for to deal with the
Middle East situation are
lodging the issue and would
throw the whole thing again
into the realm of uncertainty
the very circumstances that
causes a would-be aggressor to
miscalculate and to miscon-
strue hesitation for American
unwillingnesS to act.
After the League of Nations
Covenant was defeated in the
Senate in 1919 by Republicans
they felt somewhat guilty in
later years and came up with
the Kellogg-Briand treaties in
1928 which implied that the
signatory powers would come
to the aid of the victims of
aggression But this was
never spelled out by the Re-
publican administration. Like
wise when President Roosevelt
came into power he. too, be-
tween 1888 and 1889. refused
to be explicit and to announce
what the United States would
do in the event of aggression.
So when Hitler moved into the
Rhineland in 1886 and later
into Austria and Czechoslo-
vakia, there was no alliance of
powers to check his growing
aggression which finally led in
1899 to World War II.
BY approving the EiSen-
hover resolution now for the
Middle East. the precedent is
established for the adoption of
similar resolutions at a later
date protecting other parts of
; the world, particularly Eastern
Europe. against all forms of
aggression. Self-determination
through free elections still is
the greatest right that can be
bestowed on any people. but
this right is empty without a
guarantee against the threat
Of an external aggressor.

The attitude of the Demo-
Gratis in Congress toward the
Presidents proposal that he
be allowed standby authority
to send American troops to
the Middle East, if it appears
necessary to forestall or de-
feat Communist aggression
there. will be one of watchful
concurrence.
In substance. the Dem
ocrats. for the most part, will
insist that the debates on the
issue be detailed and thorough.
They will ask that the Nation
be completely informed as to
the costs and the risks in
volved in American interven-
ton in the Middle East, as
well as the advantages &C
cruing to the Free World
through such action.
The Senate and House
leaderships can be depended
on to marshal the Democratic
support needed to put the
Eisenhower program over.
This will happen. despite the
fact. bitter to many Demo-
Gratis, that the White House has
effectively m Gus e-trapped"
the lawmakers in the Middle
East deal.
The depth of resentment
among the legislators, espe-
cially some high-placed Sem
ate Democrats. because of the
tactics of the administration
on the troops proposal, is
greater than will appear on
the surface.
The men who make our laws
feel, with a great deal Of justi-
fication. that the White House
has handed them fat ac-
compli.
BY letting the American
people know, through judici-
ously timed press releases and
official conferences, what was
proposed by the President and
Secretary OF State Dulles
well in advance of the conven-
ing Of the Congress, the issue
was cut and dried beforehand.
Few indeed will be the law
makers who will find the cour-
age and stubborness to vote
against the plan. The issue. by
now. will have resolved itself
into one Of simple patriotism.
A vote against the presiden-
tial plan will seem, now that
the spadework has been so ex-
pertly done, to be a vote in
favor of the Russians. No po-
litician can be expected to &C
cept such a situation. They
will vote for the plan.
But voting for it will not
preclude a searching examina-
ton of American foreign policy
as it affects the Middle East.
