Editorial
AS THE NATION FACES 1857
THE YEAR 1857 might well be the
CRAVE PROBLEMS confront wo

where. As for the free world, the principal question is still
whether OF not it can remain free without paying the awful
price of near extinction through a hydrogen war. But even
that might be better than absolute enslavement of mind and
body.
OUT OF THIS problem stem 50 many Others that it is
impossible to safely separate them into segments, though for
the purposes of treatment and solution this maybe advisable,
HIGH ON THE LIST of lists is the Middle East vacuum
into which Soviet influence might be drawn. This is impor-
tant because the very lifeline Of European economy is closely
linked to the oil of the Middle East A solution has to be
found, and the administration is attempting to do this
through what it calls the Eisenhower doctrine. Put another
way, it is the same policy as the Truman Doctrine which
STAYED off Russian domination of Greece and Turkey, and
saved a spot for democracy in that area.
THE A EAST, with its teeming millions, where pow
erty and dissatisfaction are high provide a fertile field tor
dissention, and where these conditions exist Communism
thrives. India, the lone neutral must be depended upon to
stem the tide of communist domination OF the area.
ATHOME, economy must be kept strong, SO
strono that we can provide the needs of the underprivileged
areas of the world through Point " and other programs. OF
course the national debt will rise, and the budget will not
be balanced. The military strength must remain strong, which
further means a heavier budget, announcements to the con-
trarv notwithstanding. Americas role as the real leader OF
the free world stems from two vantage points; First, the eco
'nomic strength which is unsurpassed anywhere, and second,
the moral position, which thus far has remained untarnlSheo'
Of the FREE. nations only we can speak with authority with
reference to what is right and wrong, SO tar as relations with
other nations are concerned. This was strongly brought out
when the British and French attacked Egypt
