Difficult Road

It would be self-delusion to close
our eyes to the difficulties which
lie before US. Some we have Gre
ated ourselves. Our military STRAIT
egg, with its sole reliance on mas
sive retaliation, and a budgetary
policy which has neglected even
that, have caused us a loss of
relative military power and of
prestige. Some of our political
policies have weakened our alli-
ances.
Our allies, too, are having their
troubles. In what are perhaps the
two closest OF them we could wish
(as they undoubtedly do, tool
that both the present and the
immediate future held greater
promise for the development of
strength and popular attitudes
more attuned to reality. We all
share together the common prob
lem of devising a military policy
for NATo which will avoid maxi
ing the proposed defense seem as
fearSome as the potential enemys
threat. and which will be a real
deterrent because it is a credible
one.
l have suggested elsewhere that
this is possible. Briefly, the way
is to create a situation III fact
which equals the political purpose
OF The North Atlantic Treaty
that is, situation where IN order
for the Soviet Union to attack, or
coerce, Europe it would have to
attack, or coerce, the United
States as well. This, If we all
use a fair degree Of intelligence
about our defenses. the Soviet
Union could be deferred from
doing. What is required is a short
range effort which does not pre-
clude a sustained effort toward a
wiser long range goal.
The short-range effort would
be to provide NATO with such
effective nuclear power that the
Soviet Union could not have us
way without destroying that
power; and an attempt to destroy
1t would be impractical apart
from a simultaneous attempt to
disable the United States. which
could be made too dangerous.
The longer-range purpose would
be to develop adequate conven-
tional forces in Europe, with
British and American participa-
ton. to make mutually desirable
a real reduction and equalization
of both Soviet aud NATO forces
and a controlled elimination of
nuclear material for military use.

Eastern Europe

Turning to Eastern Europe. Mr..
KEENAN, sees those countries, with
out the withdrawal of Russian
troops, caught between the di-
lemma of constant revolutions,
bloodily suppressed, and the ack-
nowledgement of Soviet domina-
ton. This view seems to me
founded on nothing but its asser-
ton. ! cannot for. the life of me
see how the movement toward a
greater degree of national identity
in Eastern Europe is furthered by
removing from the continent the
only power capable of opposing the
Soviet Union.
Nor do see that the facts bear
out Mr.. Remnants gloomy predic-
tons. For instance, if the expert
ence of 1855 had produced only
the development in Poland or if
the Hungarians had acted with
as much restraint, it would have
been plain to all that the attrac-
ton of the power of the West, Of
the possibilities which it's system
opens to all, was proving very
strong indeed-stronger even than
the secret police and Soviet occu-
patton troops. The fact that in
Hungary the reaction was pushed
to the point where the Russians
felt it necessary to suppress 1t
with force proves only that it was
handled unwisely.
So, as we think about the mat
ter, we must wonder whether
there is anything we can purchase
"one-half so precious as the goods"
we sell. We are told not to worry
about this: that. even though it
seems quite unlikely that the Rus
slams would carry out any with
drawal. nevertheless, it Is good
propaganda to make the offer and
cause them to refuse it. This seems
to me profoundly false.
If I were a European and had to
live through two or three years OF
American negotiations about with
drawing from the Continent, I
think that very early in the game
I would discount Americas re-
naming and would prepare to
face new situation. Furthermore,
to believe that the Russians can
be put in the position of refusing
to evacuate Europe undertakes
their skill in negotiation. They
would simply, as they have already
done, continue to raise the price.
And 1t would be we and not they
who would do the refusing.
The evils of a timid and de-
featist policy of retreat are far
deeper than its ineptness as a
move in the propaganda battle. 1t
would abandon the efforts of a
decade. which are bringing closer
to realization the hopes of Western
Europe. of Germany. and of Eas-
tern Europe as we'll. From the low
point of 1946-1957 the economic,
social and political health and
strength Of Western Europe-of
which West Germany has become
an integral and vital nart-have
grown greatly.

Lyndon johnson still insists
that he is not running for Presi-

leader, who is always on the run
whether or not he Is running for
something, certainly has managed
to eclipse all other Democrats
mentioned as 1860 possibilities.
Not only that, he has also stolen
scene after scene from President
Eisenhower and from Vice Presi-

met his political match in the
tall Texan.
The johnson scene-stealing be-
gan in earnest on the day the
present Congress opened its Sec

Republicans got a preview of what
was coming as early as last sum-

first civil rights bill in this
century.
Although the Republicans
started the civil rights bill rolling,
Senator johnson. operating be-
hind the scenes. manipulated the
compromise that made passage

the bill wore a distinctly Demo-

The Space Issue
Thinking big CTexan-f fashion,
Senator johnson urged that the
United States take the initiative
In setting up control of outer
space. Now the United States is
on somewhat of a spot at the
United Nations, where Soviet Rus
sia's appeal for space control is
attracting members outside the
Red bloc.
At about the same time, the
Senator's Preparedness subcom-
mittee was winding up a six-week
investigation into our tagging mis-
siles program. Even before its
recommendations came out, the
hearings had had some notable
effects: An acceleration was Or

1t was Lyndon johnson who pre-
sented what could well be the
Democrats platform for 1858, as
well as their record Of accomplish

An Eosy Platform
For the most part. the planks
in the Senator's platform" not
only held voter appeal. but they
also held the distinction of being
in the realm of possibility-some
Of then even easily attainable.
They included:
. An education bill. ut is gen.

and this year is no exception. An
anti-recession measure. bearing
the Democratic stamp, already has
been voted.l
. Public works legislation. part

the form of rivers and harborS

highly unlikely. Also, that is the
year that ends his second term
in the Senate, and if he should
go for the bigger job and lose.
all he'd have left would be his big
Texas ranch, the LBJ, and some
memories.
But whoever the Democratic
nominee is, that man will owe a
great debt to the majority leader,
who almost singlehandedly has
corraled every vital issue the
Democrats can count on two years
from now.
johnson could well play in 1860

BY the time the recession had
driven the sputniks into a secon-

Senator johnson had moved

outer space into the pump-prirn-

the tagging missiles, he had pro-

While his more partisan coll

public works programs and a

Senator Johnson was quick to
act. He got Senator Gore. an au-

dollar roads bill, to prepare

acceleration of the highway pro-

among Democrats for a start on
projects for which money already
had been appropriated. Senator

Brain Offers Political Compuigners
Minute-by-Minute Progress Reports

Politicians at last may have in
their grasp the answer to the most
important prediction question of
all:
"How'm I doin'?"
With television a major factor
in today's politicking - it may
mean the difference between
victory and defeat for a candidate
- it is imperative that the office
seeker knows how many homes he
is reaching and how many viewers
he is holding.
In past elections, a politician
couldn't measure his pull" &C
curately until the ballots were
counted. Public opinion polls were
spotty and by the time the data
collected was analysed, the cam
paign was about over. But things
may be different, thanks to a
new electronic audience computer
known as Arbitron.
Developed by the American Re-
search Bureau in Beltsville, Md,
Arbitron will enable campaign

ers that it was an African ques-
ton which gave the League Of
Nations a mortal blow in 1885,
when the great powers had to
decide what action the League
should take against italy because
Of its aggression in Ethiopia.
When the United States made
its wartime promises, it had no
colonial interest or empire to de-
fend; 1t had only an anticolonial
tradition to maintain.
Since 1945, because of our grave
differences with Communist Rus
STA and because Of our need for
allies in the cold war, the United
States finds itself more closely al
lied with European states which
have colonial territories in Africa.
To maintain a tradition of anti
colonialism in this paradoxical
situation is to injure our friends
countries which have become
more than ever dependent on Afri-
can possessions now that their
empires, which once included vast
portions of Asia. have been sharp
ly reduced.
Security for Whom?
For our European friends these
remaining possessions in Africa
must provide what was once pro-
vided by far larger territories
essential resources, markets, mill
tary bases, manpower and, at the
present timeA homes in which to
settle now that surplus popula-
tons are virtually barred from
migrating elsewhere.
The subject peoples of Africa
and their lands now have to carry
a larger share of the white mans
burden than before, the increased
burden coming just at the time
when there was hope for lighter
load and complete liberty. And,
UNDERSTANDABLE. the growing de-
pendence of Europeans on Africa
for economic and military security
makes Africans feel that their
security is being more seriously
threatened than ever before.
Developments in the Union Of
South Africa. in Kenya and in
Algeria reflect the same conflict
Of interests The Europeans who
have made their homes in these
territories have no intention Of
abandoning the only security they
know, while African nationalist
leaders believe that the security of
Africans is threatened by q small
European minority.
The Europeans in Algeria, who
number IL million, thus find
themselves opposed to million
Arabs-the security Of one group
requiring the insecurity of the
other in a clash of incompatible
demands. The discovery of oil in
Algeria and the bright prospect
that this oil might emancipate
France from its dependence on
other parts of the world for this
costly fuel serve only to make
the present conflict in Algeria
more desperate one for both sides.

GREAT DECISIONS :. 1859
Our Stake in Awakening Africa

allies and against Africans, Amer
leans need to bear in mind that
they cannot get along in the fu-
ture without African support any
more than they could during
World War II. Like our allies in
Europe. we also have become de-
pendent on African resources, the
loss Of which would be a serious
blow to our economy and to our
security.
American trade with Africa has
increased many times during the
past is to 20 years under the slim
illus of growing demands for CO.
bait, columbite, zinc, lead, manga
nese, iron ore, rubber, tungsten,
industrial diamon DIS, uranium,
copper, and so on. The sudden
loss Of these and other vital prod
ucts Of Africa would create for
the United States as great a loss
as that suffered by the bombing of
a large number of factories. 1t
would be a great victory for the
Communists If they could persuade
Africans not to produce goods for
American use. Also, American
military bases in North Africa
would have little value if the peo-
pie of Morocco and Libya became
anti-American and decided to
sabotage airf1elds and ammunition
deposits.
Whot il Our Promises Fail?
If our country failed to keep its
promises to the peoples of Africa
one result would be the great dis
appointment felt by millions of
our Negro fellow citizens, who
have keen sensitivity regarding
their rights under the American
Constitution and the rights of
Africans under the UN Charter.
Negroes and Africans are deeply
interested in each others fate. :
Each year Africans come to the
United States by the hundreds to
study in our colleges and univer-
stiles. In 1857 their number was
estimated at 1,400. Here they re-
ceive the same treatment that our
Negroes get. We make them feel
that they have common cause so
far as United States policy is con-
cerned. Upon their return to
Africa these students will assume
leadership in their respective
lands, like Nkrumah in Ghana or
Azikiwe in Nigeria.
If Americans do nothing or
hesitate too long, they weaken
their own allies and virtually in
vite Russia to move into Africa.
Russia, like the United States,
has opposed colonialism since the
establishment of the Soviet gov
eminent. When Lenin came to
power in 1917 he denounced Rus
sia's ''imperialiSt treaties" with
neighboring countries of the Mid
die East. Although Russia itself
has not hesitated to impose its
domination on Eastern European
countries, it has not needed to
seek empires overseas.
1t is therefore in a position to
press for the emancipation of
Africans in the knowledge that
success will win friends for COM
munism and undermine the stra-
tegic and economic power of its
opponents. More than that, Russia
is now in an industrial and tech
biological position to compete with
the West for the economic favors
Of the African peoples, who are
eager to learn from the Commu-
nists the magic formula for rapid
industrialization.
Since political independence in
the goth century does not auto
matically mean economic indie
pendence, it should be a matter of
critical Importance for us whether
Africans will establish future eco
nomlc ties with Russia or with
the West.
