When Midwest Republicans
discuss the special elections
that have given them so
much trouble. they do not
admit either that the voters
admire the Democrats or are
hostile TO the President. They
are much more apt to con-
tend that nobody today
knows what Republicans
stand for.
BY this time Republicans
are resigned to the fact that
Eisenhower has no intention
OF being the day-to- day leader
Of his party in the sense that
Roosevelt and Truman led
theirs. Even the conservatives
are not happy about 1t, but
they don't see anything they
can do.
They believe that National

they are warming up to Sher-
man Adams. who is described

This recession-year con-
gressional campaign. which
will gather momentum fol-
lowing the Easter recess OF
the Senate and House, finds
both parties seriously split.
The Republican split,
which appears within nearly
every State outside the South,
stands to do that party more
harm this fall. The regional
split of the Democrats. which
has been sharpened by its ex-
clusively Texas leadership In
Congress. will hurt them
much more in the president
ial election in 1860.
Existing circumstances
deepen the State-by-State ma
ture Of all congressional cam
paigns. An aggressive Dem
ocratic Congress has largely
seized the initiative from the
Republican President, and
the President has proved UNI
able TO unity his party behind
his policies.
Preliminary soundings show
that the Republican cleavage
is already doing a great deal
of damage to party morale.
There is a genuine difference
of opinion about what course
the party should take. 1t is

nationalism versus isolation

considerable attention to
arguments plainly seeking to
foment political trouble in
Britain by using the oft-re-
peated speeches and state
ments of the British Labor
Party and the demonstra-
lions and parades in that
country against nuclear tests.
The Gromyko statement
obviously reflects appreciation
of the support given to the
Soviet propaganda by the
activities of many nuclear
scientists in the United States
and other countries who sub
mitted a petition to the
United Nations recently urg-
ing that nuclear tests be
stopped. The Soviet Foreign
Minister also picks up the
charges Of suppression Of
data made against the Atomic
Energy Commission by lead
ing Democrats in Congress.
He quotes exultingly from the
protests made by the British
Trade Union Council against
nuclear tests. He pays con-
siderable attention to the de-
sire of France to become a
nuclear power-which the So
Wet Foreign Minister doesn't
seem to think would be a wise
thing.
But the principal invectives
are reserved for the West
Germans. and here consider
able use is made Of the
speeches constantly being
publicized by the anti-Aden-
auer elements of the Bonn
Parliament.
In every country in the
West, fortunately. there are
clear-sighted individuals in
government. in the press. in
the churches and in the civic
life of the nation who patri-
otically uphold the policies Of
their own government. 1t is
this intelligent, thoughtful
leadership which is able to
prevent Soviet propaganda
from making inroads in the
top councils of the Western
governments and to see that
it exercises no influence det-
rimental to the safety Of the
West. For the maintenance Of
adequate armament Is i'm

free governments arise behind
the Iron Curtain and the
threat Of war is clearly seen
to have vanished.

Division Plaques Both Parties

Vice President Nixon keeps
his door open to party leaders
and they appreciate it. They
consider that relationship
more in the nature Of 1860
insurance, however. than a
practical help. since he has
no power Of appointment or
real legislative influence.
For their part. Democrats
are under no illusion that
civil rights will be less trou-
blesome as a 1860 issue than
1t has been in the past. The
extent to which Northern and
Western liberals will seek to
achieve greater independence
Of the South in platform and
candidate will depend in part
on how well they do this fall.
But their resentment Of the
manner in which issues i'm
portant to them have been
blurred by the Johnson-led
Senate is already in the open.
Former Senator Herbert Leh-
man expressed 1t bluntly last
week at a New York dinner
in honor Of his 80th birth
day. The Democratic Advisory
Council is another expression
of 1t.
The Northerners and West
erners will try to sweep those
differences under the rug in
their campaigns this fall.
They think the same attempt
against the presidential can
didacy Of Vice President Nixon
in 1860 would be too great a
risk.

Administration Pleas Fail to Impress
Those Who Have Travelled and Studied

Spokesman for the admin

that foreign economic help
must be continued-possibly
indefinitely-to prevent fur
ther Communist penetration
of economically under-devel-
oped areas have made little
impression on members of
Congress who have studied
the situation on the spot.
Neither has any Roadway
been made with the conten-
ton that dollars must be
freely spent in countries with
governments hostile to our
goals in the hope that we
can wean them away from
the USSR.
The consensus of congress
sional leaders appears to be
that while it is essential for
a number of countries to con-
tinue to receive American
military and economic assist
ance. it should be up to
Congress to decide which
should be helped and how
much.
In the last two years con-
gressional delegations and in
dividual Congress members
have travelled all over the
world. even behind the Iron
Curtain. Most of these trips

Only those legislators who
hope to see socialism in our

along with the contention
that communism thrives

could be successful. 1t is in
this light that the recent sug-
gestion in a speech by Senator
Theodore Green. chairman Of
the Foreign Relation Com
mittee, is looked upon.
Senator Green was report
edly inspired in the prepara-
ton of a speech advocating
economic assistance to Presi-
dent Nasser by some officials
of the State Department and
the ICA who continue to be-
lieve firmly that birds can be
caught by putting salt on

despite the experiences of the
last decade, still live in

are convinced that India,

other strong Moscow and
Peiping addictS should be
given American help literally.
Their overall theory is that
the more the standard Of
living in the various coun-
tries is raised the more likely
the chances to detach them
from communism. The fact
that the overall standard Of
Living in Yugos1avia has in-
creased In the last 10 years
while Tito was more than
ever in Khrushchev's hip
pocket leaves them unmoved.
At the same time these
very same officials are adj
vocating drastic curtailment
OF assistance to countries
such as Turkey, which have
proven to be our staunchest
allies. They offer the excuse
that the Ankara government
is expanding the country's
industrialization too rapidly

DAVID LAWRENCE

Amid all the talk about
how the Soviets allegedly
scored a propaganda vic
tory" by their announcement
of a decision temporarily to
suspend H-bomb tests, the
world has lost sight of a
significant story.
Foreign Minister Gromyko,
who set forth the viewpoint
of the Soviet government in
a speech more than 5000
words long, uttered only a
single sentence referring to
the ultimate possibility of
doing away with the use Of
nuclear weapons themselves.
Certainly the damage that
could be done by tests is in
finitesimal compared to the
havoc that would be wrought
on the human race by the
actual use of these nuclear
bombs in war.
Why did the SovietS say
almost nothing about abol-
ishing H-bombS? Every argu-
ment about the horrors Of
tests would seem to apply to
the terrible consequences OF
an atomic war.
The answer is to be found
by a careful examination of
the Gromyko speech itself.
1t is clumsily contrived to
accomplish a single objec-
tive. And that objective is
wholly political. 1t is de-
signed to drive a wedge in
side the United States. in
side Great Britain. inside
France. inside Italy and in
side West Germany.
The text of the speech was,
of course. far too long to be
printed in full in all these
countries, but the Soviets
knew it was a safe bet that
the sections pertaining to
each country would be print
ed in the press of that coun-
try.
If it be assumed, as some
politician once said, that

CHICAGO.-Politics is es-
sentially an educational proc
ess. in which people grow to
their full stature through
participation in great deci-
sions. But people cannot par
ticipate in great decisions un-
less they know the facts.
The first condition Of a
successful democracy is an
informed people. 1t is an in
dispensable part Of the presi-
dental responsibility to make
sure the people have the
facts, no matter how grim
and SOLDERING these facts may
be.
There are many dramatic
contrasts between the Tru-
man and the Eisenhower adj
ministrations-in the sharp
ness of decision, in the Gre
ativity of public policy. in the
whole national temper and
morale. But perhaps no con-
trast is more dramatic than
the change in the relation
ship between the Govern
ment and the people.
That change can be briefly
summed up: The Democrats
regarded the people as re-
sponsible partners, able to
take their own share in the
labor of public policy: the
Republicans regard the
people as customers. to be
bemused, beguiled and manip-
ulated.
Very early in this admins
tration a high official on the
Presidents staff said: Were
going to merchandise the liv-
ing hell out of the Eisenhower
administration"
And that is precisely what
they have done.

rule have been stained by
