history. If the leadership of
President Eisenhower is for
saken by an influential bloc in
his party. the modern Re-
publicans" will have no place
to 60 in 1860 but with the
Democrats. They will prefer
a modern Democrat" to a
Republican who deserted Eli
senhower's leadership.
A middle-of- the-road leader
always gets hit from both
sides, as he pursues a truly
delicate and difficult course In
public affairs. President Eisen-
hover has achieved great
things on the international
side and has averted a major
war. but he Is struggling now
with tides of dissent within
his own ranks on domestic
issues that could hurt his in
ternational policies. too.
The Democrats are, of
course, the beneficiaries Of this
confusion. They are supplying
the votes In congressional
committees to help reduce the
defense program. though q few
months ago they we're shouting
loudly that Russia was ahead
OF us in planes and that the
Republican administration was
neglecting armament needs.
The Democrats still have the
solid support Of their own con-
servatives. who vote with the
modern Democrats" Of the
North in order to put the Re-
publicans at a political disad-
vantage.
The division in the Republic
can Party Is growing more
serious every day. There are
some observers here who fear
that the Republican Party has
alrea dy committed political
suicide and that the Republi.
can presidential nomination In
1860 will not be worth any
thing to any candidate. The
patient man in the White
House. on the other hand, has
not given UP. He says to
friends that he is Just begin
ming to fight. He Is still con.
fident he can convince the
rival factions that they must
pull together or face political
disaster at the polls.

The battle for the admins
tration's foreign aid program
promises ITO be spectacular.
The consensus Of responsible
Senate leaders Is that the
Appropriations Committee will
lop of at least SIP billion
from the administrations re-
quests. The main conflict be-
tween the administrative and
legislative branches viii de-
velop, however, on how and
where the funds should be
spent.
President Eisenhower and
Secretary, Dulles insist on
"fiexibilities." They want to
have, as In the past. absolute
discretion In the distribution
Of the appropriations for for
eign aid. A substantial num-
Der Of Senators Of both parties
insist on Q partly selective"
distribution. They want TO list
the amounts for each recipient,
leaving only a limited "emer-
gency sum" to be spent by the
administration at its discre-
ton.
Congress, and especially the
Senate leadership. feels that
over the years the Executive
has been spending the tax
payers money too indiscrim-
inately. Hundreds Of millions
have been poured into India,
Indonesia and other neutral
ist" Asiatic countries in the
hope Of detaching them from
the influence of the USSR and
Communist China. These op,
timistic expectations have
never been fulfilled. In every
conflict between the free and
the Communist worlds at the
United Nations we have found
the same countries We have
literally assisted siding with
the enemy.
Similarly there Is Q strong
feeling against the admini-

West Germany's phenomenal
economic recovery has been
largely on the basis Of private
enterprise, with rewards for the

the risks Of a market economy.

Battle Over Foreign Aid Spending

den of their military expendi-

gradually reduce their taxation
burden.
A number of responsible
legislators would want to APP
propriate foreign economic
and military aid to specific
countries which have proven.
before and since they started
receiving American assistance,
determinedly opposed to the
Communists. These are, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific,
Spain, Greece. Turkey, Iraq.
Saudi Arabia. Iran, Pakistan,
Thailand. Wet Nam, the
Philippines, Formosa and
South Korea. Most Of these are
spending upward of so per
cent of their national incomes
on their military establish
ments.
It Is remarkable that the
combined military forces Of
the Korean republic and
Taiwan, despite those countries
limited resources and popula-
ton. substantially exceed the
armed forces Britain will have
by the end Of next year. It is
pointed out that Korea, for
instance, which collects 1921
million from its impoverished
population. spends 1928 mil
lion on its defenses. It Is
obvious that it could not con-
tinue to support an armed
force of more than half q
million men and stand an
outlay Of $500 million for re-
construction without American
help. The same thing applies
to other Asiatic and Middle
Eastern countries directly
under the Red guns.
The American people are
demanding a curtailment Of
the present unprecedented
high peacetime budget. The
economy minded Congress
realizes that we cannot let
down our guard. Hence, it
favors assistance to those who
refuse to play footsie with the
Reds, either politically or
economically.

ton Of the House of Repre-

Housing Act Of 1857 has in
creased the new "obligational

A hysteria OF budget cut
ting" is sweeping the country.
It is alternating the so-called
conservatives" In the Repub-
lican Party from the party
leader-President Eisenhower.
The net result may be not only
q substantial increase in the
Democratic majority In both
houses Of Congress in the 1858
election, but q landslide for the
Democrats in electing q Presi-
dent in 1860. Then the second
New Deal. with some real
spending. will begin.
The Frankenstein now being
built up by the Republican
conservatives" will. unless
challenged promptly by Presi-
dent Eisenhower himself, split
the Republican Party precisely
as happened in Congress in
1910 and in the presidency in
1912. when the Democrats were
handed their victory on a plat
ter as a result Of dissension in
the Republican ranks.
The political mess in the
Republican Party has been
brought on by mistaken tactics
of both the modern Republi.

For some strange reason, an
administration that has been
uniformly friendly to business
now is considered hostile by
these conservatives because
1t hasn't cut the budget and
reduced taxes this, year. as it
did before. But while many
Republicans outside Washing
