Congress Expected to Slash Foreign Aid
And Increase Domestic Spending

II
what should be the grand
total of expenditures. 1t is
far more over where the de-
creases and increases should
come.
Congress is simply not 60
ing to cut down on water
power projects at home, for
example. while giving rising
American assistance to them
abroad.
BY necessity the President
is hitting again and again
at spending" in his effort
to keep control Of his own
budget. But every time he
does so he weakens his own
position on foreign aid. This
he wishes to treat, for per-
fectly sound reasons, with
a liberality that he wholly re-
jects for other parts Of the
budget.
But the distinction is far
too fine and complicated to
be effective politically. The
irony is that the more he de-
nounces the extragavant mo-
tives he attributes in general
to the Democrats, the more
impossible he makes it to
protect the very large foreign
aid item for which he de-
mands special favors.
The large, lumpy concept
Of spending" becomes the
only issue. 1t cannot prac-
tically be subdivided into
good" and bad" spending.
1t all comes down to this +:
Well, are you a "spender, "
or aren't you?
Foreign aid, nevertheless
will not be Quilted" What
Congress at length provides
will certainly carry the pro-
gram forward as a stoutly
going concern. And it will be

There1l be a successor In
due time TO John Foster
Dulles as Secretary Of State,
but-unless he really becomes
incapacitated-he will remain
a dominant figure in the
making Of world policy for
the administration.
The new Secretary Of State,
whoever he may be, will be
consulting with and working
with Mr.. Dulles. For nobody
else today has the background
or the knowledge Of world af-
fairs that the present Secre-
tary Of State carries in his
head.
Speculation as to a sue
cessor to Mr.. Dulles is not Of
the usual kind. Normally a
cabinet officer resigns and
leaves the Government COM
pletely. But in going over
the possible appointments, it
Is necessary now to consider
who will work harmoniously
with the President and Mr..
Dulles. For, while the ulti-
mate decisions will continue
to be made in the future. as
In the past, by the President,
the advice on which those
decisions are based would get
quicker clearance If it had
the approval of Mr.. Dulles as
well as Of the new Secretary
of State.
Mr.. Dulles may come out of
his present siege of illness
able to carry on certain ac-
tivities. The odds are sup
posed to be against it. But
the Secretary has upset the
odds before and may do II
again. He has carried on his
job heroically in recent weeks
despite excruciating pain. II
he is able to do so, he wants
very much to attend the next
four power conference Of
Foreign Ministers and ther
ease up on his work.
Assuming, however, that q
new man takes over even
tually, who will be the third
member Of the triumvirate
that would make world policy
for the United States?
There come to mind GER
tain outstanding PERSONAL
tieS-some of them nationa
and international figures.
First in order of considera'
ton, naturally, is Christian

well with Mr.. Dulles. He has
an excellent background IN
foreign affairs. Unfortunately.
he has an arthritic condition
and occasionally has to use
crutches or a wheel chair.
He could not. 1t is said, travel
around as much as Mr.. Dulles
has found 1t necessary to do
in the fast-moving world OF
events today.
Next there's former Sena-
tor Henry Cabot Lodge. now
the top man for this country
in the United Nations in New
York. He speaks French
fiuently. has spared and de-
bated with diplomats from all
over the world in the forums
of the U. N. He has been
attending cabinet meetings
in the last few years when
ever they dealt primarily
with international affairs.
He, too, harmonizes with Mr..
Dulles.
Then there is Douglas Dill
Ion, Deputy Undersecretary
Of state for Economic Affairs.
He was formerly Ambassador
to France, also speaks French
fiuently and has an excellent
diplomatic and econom ! c
background.
There's a fourth name
which comes up again and
again in the conversations
here about a possible sue
cessor to Mr.. Dulles. It's
that of Thomas E. Dewey,
former Governor Of New
York and twice the presi-
Dental candidate Of the Re-
publican Party. He helped
Mr.. Eisenhower get his first
nomination in 1852, and he
helped Vice President Nixon
to win denomination in 1856
over Harold Stassen's rebel
lion. He has been function
ing lately as an international
lawyer in private practice
a field in which Mr.. Dulle:
himself engaged for severa
years.
In many respects Mr.
Dewey is the outstanding
figure of them all as far a.
being nationally known il
concerned. He would natur'
ally bring prestige to the pos

a person usually kicks with a
boot. The phrase ito boot"
comes from the Anglo-Saxon
word "bote," which originally
meant advantage or profit. So
something given ito boot"
meant something additional
which would give the receiver
an extra profit or advantage.
"For boot" is. as you suspect,
just a regional variation of
ito boot" Harold Went

country in the use of this
phrase. Often, for instance, the
proposition will be omitted en-

The original sense of boot"
as a synonym for profit" can
be found in literature as late
as the 10Th century. Matthew
Arnold, for instance, wrote ut

West opened the king Of

tract, but South found an
amusing way to lose the maxi
mum.

turned q spade and West
cashed the queen and jack.

spade.
South ruffed with the five of

Will humanity get lost In the

Of humanity who try TO escape

ship. They hope to reach q
distant star, habitable for man,
but the ship is on course and
It's occupants slowly die while
