Premier Menderes Of Tur-
key is expected to visit the
Far East soon after the Bagh-
dad Pact talks end In Ankara.
Mr.. Menderes repeatedly
intends to visit the free
Asian countries: South Wet
Nam. the Philippines. Ma
tionalist China and South
Korea. He wants to meet the
leaders of these countries and
learn flrst hand Of their mill
tary and economic eapabili-
ties. The real purpose. ac-
cording TO responsible sources,
is TO tighten the free worlds
front from the Middle East
TO the Far East for any
eventuality.
The greatest determination
TO meet the Communist ex.
pansionist challenge with
arms Is found In the area
extending from Turkey to
South Korea. And 1t is in
that area that the largest
combat-ready ground forces
are at present available.
The participation Of Sec
rotary Of State Dulles at the
Baghdad Pact meeting was
intended TO give luster to that
gathering.
Mr.. Dulles will be asked
to state firmly what assist
ance America Is willing TO
give the nations Of the de-
Tense chain extending now
from Ankara 10 Seoul. Until
recently the United States
has been somewhat niggardly
with these allies when they
asked US to provide modern
military hardware and also
more economic help to sus-
tain their faltering economy.
The latter has been in bad
shape because the govern
ments Of these countries have
been spending far more than
they could afford TO MAIN
tain the needed military es-
adjustments.

Politics and the Presidency

1--WE don't make the news"
replied Mr.. Stone. I'VE just
report It."
This gave President Taft
food for thought. He realized
that his administration was
under attack. but had done
very little TO defend itself In
the public prints. Mr.. Taft
himself had spent most Of his
life on the bench and wasn't
used to political combat. II
was generally conceded that
he was not a politician. He
was so unpartisan-minded
that he named q Democrat 70
his cabinet--which was un-
heard Of in those days--and
he later named an ex-Con-
federate soldier from the
South to be Chief Justice OF
the United States. He got
exactly eight electoral votes
in his bid for reelection in
1912.
Mr.. Taft didn't realize
any more than Mr.. Eisen-
hover does sometimes--that
politics is a battle Of contend
ing forces every day in the
+. year and that the side which
makes the news gets the space
in the newspapers. Some Of
the Democratic Party pol
iticians today. including
Harry Truman. like TO talk
Of a "one-party press" in
America. by which they imply
that the editorial pages are
largely Republican IN their
sympathy. But Franklin
Roosevelt used TO say. Give
me the front news page. and
you can have the rest Of the
paper"
Mr.. Eisenhower finds himself
confronted regularly at his
press conferences with queries
about politics. including Sc
curity and peace. Reporters
interrogate him with all the
vigor and partisanship Of q
political debate in Britain's
House Of Commons. where
the opposition customarily
tries TO cross-examine the
goverpment in power.
II II Is really desired to
keep politics out Of the White
House as 1t relates to the

Ideo That Chief Executive Should Shun
Portis0nship Debunked as Unreclistic

The Eisenhower admins
tration, under heavy attack
by the Democrats for the last
several months, Is faced with
the fact that the Democrats
make more political news
that gets printed nowadays
than do the Republicans.
Maybe this is because the
Democrats are In control Of
all the important committees
and investigations in Con-
gress that are given wide
publicity. Senator Lyndon
Johnsons office, for example.
Is second IN Washington only
TO the Presidents office in
its mimeographed output Of
press releases that make the
headlines. That's legitimate
tactics for the Democrats
but. strangely enough. II IS
considered by some critics to
be unduly partisan when
members Of the Presidents
cabinet or White House aides
talk politics in public.
An episode in point occurred
last week. President Eisen-
hover went TO Chicago to
address a $l00-a-plate dinner
organized by the Republic
cans as part Of q Nation
wide display Of Republican
speakers in various cities. Mr..
Eisenhower said during the
course of his speech:
Our first objective-secur-
ity and a just peace-is not
a partisan or political matter.
Americans must never and
win never let the issue Of
security and peace become
q pawn in anyone's political
chess game"
This was Immediately seized
upon by the Democrats as
meaning that nobody high up
in the Republican admins
tration should make any
speeches at political gather
ings or elsewhere on the sub
ject OF security or peace. Sew
eral editorials were published
criticizing Sherman Adams.

Recession Colors Views on America
More Than Sputniks or His Personality

Businessmen returning
from Europe tell me. how
ever. that the recession in
the United States is adversely
coloring the view OF America
far more than the Sputniks
or the personality Of Mr..
Dulles.
Leading European bankers
(among them West GERMANY
argue that the recession,
created by the Government
as a temporary anti-infla-
ton measure. was inexpertly
handled. The Oppressive dose
was too big. without having
the desired effect Of quickly
lowering prices. which now
requires countershots that

widely regarded as q clash.
Why. II might be asked. ex-

and bolster the morale Of his

dent himself so to a Repub-
lican dinner In Chicago and
talk about Americas need for
resolute action on the peace

later on in the same speech:

America vigorously approved
the Republican national rec

What the President really
meant by his remarks at the
Chicago dinner was that his
administration was not going
to play politics with the peace
and security questions and
would not be motivated by
political influences or dema-
goguery in reaching the deci-
sions that America must
make on these important
problems.
The dilemma--how 70 fight
back al the opposition and
yet be bipartisan in oper-
ating the Government itself
is not unusual In political
history. Once upon a time
there was a Republican in
the presidency named VIII
liam Howard Taft. He had
been elected by a landslide
in 1908 and was immensely
popular. But two years later
the Democrats swept the
House Of Representatives. A
rift in the Republican Party
occurred. and by 1919 there
were three parties battling in
the political arena. One day
President Taft sent for the
late Melville Z. Stone. gen.
eral manager Of the Asso-
ciated Press. and wanted TO
know why the Republican
administration was getting so
little publicity.
