The former ieporter-Com

years later the club was able
to go on to greater things by
raising funds by a chattel

for furniture.

years was aptly followed
through by a musical program

less energy and skill to 1t.
The answer seems to be
that the President looks upon
the recession purely as a busi-
ness problem and has turned
to businessmen for the an
swers. Congress understands
that the most effective single
voice at the White House on
this issue is that Of former
Treasury Secretary Hum
phrey.
The Presidents Council of
Economic Advisers supports a
tax cut. So does its former
chairman. Arthur Burns, in
whom the President once had
great faith.
One politician determined
to handle the recession issue
with due regard for its cutting
edge everywhere is Harry
Truman. He was sorely
tempted to spar with some Of
his pet enemies on Capitol
Hill, the conservative Repub-
licans Of the House Ways and

sisted temptation.

testimony to deal with his

Politics and the Recession

March, 1850. On March 10,
President Truman again left
Washington for Key West
where he spent 20 days. The
latter trip was taken shortly
after Mr.. Truman said in an
interview that UP to 5 million
unemployed was 'supportable'
and 1t was healthy for the
economic body II job-seek-
ing went on at all times"
The Federal Reserve Board
has Just announced that in
dustrial production in March
of this year was % per cent
above the 1947-l949 average.
This was during the Truman
recession.

the New York Times in 1850
that unemployment Of three
to five million persons would
not be too bad a thing. The
former President denied that
he said it. whereupon Arthur
Krock of the New York
Times, who had obtained the
interview, issued a statement
saying that Mr.. Truman pro-
posed the interview to him
and that the manuscript was
submitted to the White House
and was returned to the
Times In the form In which
it was printed. Mr.. Krock

Meade Alcorn says the
former President possesses

That's what is going on in
Washington in time Of re-
cession-the partisan clamor
is just as it was in the 1930s
when the Government was
divided between two political
parties. 1t deepened the
depression and prevented
recovery in America even
though a worldwide recovery
movement was under way in
1892.

Americas Chief Executive.
The point Of view advo-
Gated by Secretary Dulles, the
administrators prin cipal
spokesman on international
affairs. is that peace cannot
be obtained by a mere vague
understanding between Amer
lea and the Soviet Union.
Peace is a collective matter
in which the rights Of peoples
Of the big and small coun-
tries must be considered.
These sound. thoughts were
translated in the answers to
the Bulganin and Khru-
shchev letters. Washington
suggested that before the
heads Of states meet, there
must be a preliminary agree
ment on the Substantive
matters" which are respon-
sible for the present world
tensions. Mere expressions Of
lasting friendship, we told
the Russians. will not bring
even a temporary relief as
long as the present cancers
remain and continue to grow
in the international body.
The Russian dictator has
so far turned down this logi-
cal approach, which alone
can make a summit confer
ence effective. Mr.. Khru-
shchev wants a summit
party" and not a conference.
But there is no question that
he will continue to press US
for it with all the means
at his disposal.
Administration scouts were
surprised to hear that in
many parts Of the country
various Republican and
Democratic clubs and study
groups are getting themselves
informed about the mean
ing of this summit confer
ence." Speakers are being in
vited to explain the meaning
Of such a gathering. They
were equally surprised to flnd
that the overall opinion Is
adverse to holding a confer.
ence on Russia's terms.

ing a nuclear war. But, by
and large, the reported SEN
timent Of the American peo-
pie seems to be against
peace at any price"
The decision to attend a
summit meeting belongs to
President Eisenhower alone.
Congress has nothing to say
about 1t. There was a thought
on the part Of a number of
Senators earlier this year to
offer a sense Of the Senate"
resolution opposing the Rus
sian summit plan. Even If
1t were passed with a SUBJ
stantial majority land this
seems doubtfuD it would not
have been binding on the
Executive.
The Soviet propaganda has
attempted to make out that
only such a conference be-
tween Messrs. Eisenhower and
Khrushchev, the heads Of the
remaining two great powers
(the Prime Ministers Of Brit
ain and France would be
merely tolerated. could bring
about such peace in the
world. Some Of President
Eisenhower's political friends
who frown at the idea Of a
meeting on Mr.. Khrushchev's
terms have drawn his atten-
ton to the historical speech
made by President Woodrow
Wilson on February IL. 1918:
I'VE cannot have a general
peace for the asking or by
mere arrangements at a con-
ference. Peace cannot be
pieced together out of indi-
vidual UNDERSTANDINGS be-
tween powerful states"

Minister Khrushchev is press

vately at the various vodka

officers with Congress are
bird-dogging the sentiments
Of the grass roots toward such
questions as foreign economic
aid, the summit meeting and
reciprocal trade agreements.
The reports Of members Of
Congress who have just re-
turned from fact finding
tours during the Easter recess
in their States and districts
indicate increasing hostility
to indiscriminate economic
and military aid. There is.
however, q sentiment favor
ing limited economic assist
ance and effective military
aid to the nations which have.
proved loyal to America. Ac-
cording to some legislators

tied under the direction of
Eric Johnston has done more
harm than good to the advo-
Gates of the near-$4 billion
program for the 1859 fiscal
year.
There is some confusion
concerning the flve-year ex-
tension Of executive powers
for trade agreements. In
some areas where American
industry has been hard hit
by foreign competition there
is. of course, a marked hos
tility to any tariff reduction.
This is particularly notice.
able, according to the return
ing legislators, on the West
Coast and in New England,
where many American work.
ers feel they have become
unemployed as q result Of
foreign competition.
The administrations ar
gument that some three mil
lion workers are employed
producing goods for export
is contradicted. It is pointed
out that a larger number Of
workers may become unem-
ployed as a result Of lower
ing duties on competitive
goods produced abroad.
The reaction Of the grass
roots to the summit confer
ence is interesting If the
members of Congress have
gagged accurately their peo-
pies reactions. Except in
some intellectual circles"
inspired by ideologists, there
is a deep suspicion that we
