Both Seen in Chorocter: One Warming
Democrats, the Other OFFERING a Plan
DORIS fLEEsoN

Former President Harry s.
Truman and Adlai Stevenson
used the forum Of the Foreign
Aid Conference to reassert
traditional Democratic inter-
nationalism.
When Mr.. Truman is for
something. he throws all the
ifs. ands, whereases and butts
out of the window. His speech
was short and stark. He told
his fellow Democrats where
their duty lay and warned
them they could never ex-
plain it if they failed to do
1t. He challenged Republic
cans to do as we'll as Demo-
Gratis by the foreign aid bill
and he threw in a strong hint
to the President that 1.-The
countless millions who yearn
for peace" need a lobbyist,
too, whose name is Eisen-
hover.
Mr.. Stevenson also acted in
character. 1t bothers him
merely to attack, so he offered
a plan for a global free world
conference to CO ordinate
economic aid to underde-
veloped nations. He empha-
sized that the reciprocal
trade program is a vital part
of mutual security.
Both men were in top form
and drew big crowds which
applauded Justify. Observers
agree they created the i'm

was that their party was pre-

of the United States has
been and will continue to
be exhibited on the side of
the oppressed nations. This
has been revealed again and
again in the United Nations
forum.
Then there is criticism be-
cause Mr.. Dulles q few years
ago, at a time when the
Western Alliance faced a
crisis in Europe, said there
would have to be an ago
nizing reappraisal" by the
United States of its policies
if France failed to join with
America and Britain in an
accord in Western Europe.
The French government &C
tually did reappraise its own
situation and did finally per-
NIT Germany to enter the
North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization. The words of
warning used by Mr.. Dulles
were persuasive - they had
their effect.
The true test Of the worth
of a Secretary of State-who
is really a secretary Of peace
lis whether he keeps his
country out Of war and
whether. when other nations
push America to the brink. a
skillful policy averts war and
deters attack.
The United States today
isn't fighting a war. large or
small, anywhere in the world.
John Foster Dulles. with the
unfiinching support continu-
ously given him by President
Eisenhower, has fulfilled the
basic mission of a Secretary
of State-to keep his own
country out of war. He has
stood up for America. That's
why the Democratic chair
man of the House Committee
on Un-American Activities,
Francis E. Walter of Penn
sylvania. calls Secretary
Dulles "a sincere, courageous
and dedicated American" and
describes much of the criti-
cism of him as "un-Amer-
ican." This is true bipartisan

There was widespread

Democratic politicians see
President Eisenhower as skid
ding on a dangerous slope.
They do not see much they
can do about it except to
throw their weight as much
as they can into defense and
security policy. Their obser-
vations convince them that
Republicans have ceased to
expect very much from Mr..
Eisenhower. Several said Re-
publicans in their States at
tack the President these days
much more strongly than
Democrats.
Governors fret chiefly
about the apparent lack of
a Democratic program. For
this reason they will keep
alive the National Advisory
Council as a propaganda
organ. Once their own cam
paignS are over this fall, they
hope to step up their own
national activity, perhaps
holding conferences to dram
atiZe their interest in plan
