u. S. Action in the Caribbean

vember 8 election In the
United States. or whether the

the last few days, Is not known
at this writing. What Is
known Is that the Washing

military action to stop Castro

any other Latin American
countries. For what has been
announced as a policy in the
Caribbean applies equally to
any similar requests that may
come hereafter from South
American countries.
But what of Cuba itself?
The day is not far distant
when the United States, act
ing in accordance with ac-
cepted principles of inter-
national law. may have to
land troops to take posses
sion of American properties
in Cuba seized by the Castro
government. While the Ha-
vana authorities have prom
Used compensation. the bonds
they offer in payment are
worthless. The United States
has a right to recapture the
properties of its own citizens
and hold them until such
time as satisfactory arrange
ments are made to pay for
them.
The broader question Of
how such a step will be re-
ceived by the Cuban people
that is. whether it will be
misinterpreted as an alleged
American interference with
the rights of the Cuban gov
eminent, which. has been
recognized as a legitimate
government by the United
States is one that will be
debated before any decision
is reached here. But if the
Castro government persists
In its conflsca tory policies, it
seems certain that a formal
rupture in diplomatic rela-
tions will ensue. European
and Latin American coun-
tries would then be asked
similarly to withdraw diplo-
matte recognition of the Ha-
vana emit. This
would indicate to the people
Of Cuba that their present
government no longer has the
confidence Of the other gov
ernments Of the free world.

These were plucked from his
own mind. They were not
nuggets inserted by ghost
writer's. They were never be-
labored. They came forth
naturally as in a conversation
where the issue at hand
might have come up. They
were merely part of the flow
Of argument.
If noted at all in press or
television they appeared in
garbled or misquoted form.
But it was significant that
never once did these literary
and philosophic fragments
offend. They did not give any
suggestion of talking down
to the crowd. They were used
because the candidate, caught
up with his idea, was develop
ing it out of his own thoughts.
The illustrations he used
made his thoughts clear in
his own mind.
Intellectuals in the White
House have been rare. But
John Kennedy. despite his
43 years and the lack of any
of the stereotype qualities, is
an intelle ctual. Indeed,
throughout the campaign the
opposition sought to capitalize
on our traditional anti-intel-
lectualism by repea tie dly
pointing out that Senator
Kennedy's closest advisers
were professors from Harvard
and the Massachusetts, Ipsti-
tute of Technology. This was
not strictly true, but some of

This kind of surveillance will

It was inevitable that i'm
mediately after the presiden-
tial election some action
would be taken with respect
to Communist directed mill
tary operations in this hemi-
sphere.
The orders issued by Presi-
dent Eisenhower to the
United States Navy to assist
the governments Of Guate-
mala and Nicaragua are in
line with historic principles
Of international law. 1t is
significant that the two gov
ernments requested the mill
tary aid. 1t is important to
note the exact language Of
the White House announce
ment, which was as follows:
I'm response to the re-
quest of the governments of
Guatemala and Nicaragua,
surface and air units of the
United States Navy are in a
position in which they could
assist these governments.
should it become necessary,
to seek out and prevent in
tervention on the part Of
Communist-directed elements
in the internal affairs of
Guatemala and Nicaragua
through the landing of armed
forces or supplies from
abroad"
The phrase Communist
directed elements" justifies
the application of the prin-
ciple Of the Monroe Doctrine,
which proclaims American
purpose to resist any attempt
by a European power to add
territory by conquest in this
hemisphere.
Presumably, this action
means that ships at sea or
airplanes carrying armed
forces or supplies will be
intercepted before they can
land on the coasts of either
Guatemala or Nicaragua. Ac-
tually, the Communists are
not likely to make any such
attempt now that they know
there will be resistance by
the United States.

the presidency, as he has
said, is the ultimate place
of action"
AS an observer of Senator
Kennedy, and recalling also
his book, "Profiles in Cour-
age" it is possible to VEN
ture a prediction.
He will strive to fit politics
to his ideas, and not tailor
ideas to fit politics. There
is an important difference.
The danger of the latter
method, which is that of the
opinion polls, is to find what
the people want, and then fit
policy to that finding. This
guarantees a dying. static
state which will decline with
mounting celebrity.
Senator Kennedy will en-
deavor to bring political sup
port to his ideas. The mar
rowness of his popular vote
margin may prove a handi-
cap. But he will not aban-
don his policies. He will
have the strength of bold
ness. He will not hesitate to
use his powers along lines
of excellence. He will be in
an Office which affords the
ultimate in scope.
For the rest of us, the phi
losophy of ancient Greeks
remains to nag accusingly

His attitude actually will

coolly determined to make

The new chief delegate to

forum where faster and

These are among the rea-
sons why there is a fairly
strong belief here now that
Adlai E. Stevenson will wind
up in the U. N. post. His
credit abroad is high. He is
peculiarly simpatico, as the
Latins put it - meaningly

And since his second defeat

quite so simpatico with Sem

most intimate of friends.
And, Justly or not, Mr.. Ste

NATO, Allied Crises Viewed as Calling
For Chief Delegate of Hiqhest Rank
WILLIAM S. WHITE

A creeping crisis now erod-
ing the dual foundation
stones of American foreign
policy-the United Nations
and the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization-coldly
confronts the incoming Ken
nedy administration.
So delicate, so severe and
so potential with disaster
are these twin problems that
an extraordinary prospect is
now raised. This Is that the
post of chief American repre-
sentative to the U. NJ. what
ever its past Importance, will
now become hardly less sig
nificant than the job of Sec
rotary Of State, itself.
The United States is alien
ating some of its oldest Allies,
notably Belgium and France,
by taking at the U. N. an
"anti-colonial" position
against their vital interests
in Africa. Already there are
heavy strains on the unity of
the heretofore dominant
Western bloc in the U. N.
Belgium, tragically buffeted
in the Congo, now openly
speaks of a possible with
drawal from the u. N.
France, now in the seventh
year of her agony in rebel
lious Algiers, is bitterly hurt
with us.
Worst Of all, NATO itself,
the Vests basic military alli-
ance, is Keeling under all
these shocks, no matter how
many reassuring words are
publicly uttered.
President-elect Kennedy's
policies, meanwhile, are likely
to be even more "anti-colo-
nial" than those Of the Eisen-
hover administration.
The long and short of it is
that rarely has any diplo-
matte assignment imposed so
subtle and meaningful bur-
den upon its holder. He will
need the greatest possible
skill, the greatest possible
human tact and human &C
ceptability, to be able to say
mo" to our allies with the
least possible damage to the
alliance itself.
Thus, President-elect Ken
nedy's selection of his am
bassador to the U. N. will be
one Of the most difficult
choices he must make. This
is the more so because those
who know the President-elect
believe that in the real sense

Vice President Richard
Nixon's belated capture of his
own big State of California
will increase his prestige and
insure his domination Of the
first post-election meeting Of
the Republican National
Committee here December 8
and 10.
This is a departure from
the recent past. National COM
mittees are not normally too
friendly to defeated candi-
dates. especially when they
had expected to win, as was
the case with the Republicans
this fall. A major reason is
that they have to pick up the
tab, a mean job in defeat.
The all-time high in per-
Sonal hostility to a loser was
reached in 1948 when Thomas
E. Dewey for the second time
bit the dust. He never was
personally popular, and when
Republican fat cats-for such
the n ational committees
largely are-met in Omaha
for their first post-mortem,
the blizzard outside paled be-
side the storm of recrimina-
tons inside the Fontaine-
bleau Hotel.
This year the Vice Presi-
dent has achieved a near
miss in the popular vote and
is not now too far behind,
though surely so, in the Elec-
toral College. He is not "the
most popular man in Amer
lea except possibly the Pres
ident," as his devoted press

He will still be a Roman

to his Southern losses and a
determining factor in his

Eisenhower with his drastic
moves to halt the outflow Of

the Federal deficit as Amer

sive; the dependents go

seriously liberals as well as
conservatives regard the Sit

RALPH McGILL

In a discussion with re-
porters early in the campaign
Jack Kennedy was encour-
aged to talk of himself. In
the course of it he gave a
definition of happiness. 1t
was. he said, one that ap-
pealed to him and was from
Greek philosophy.
Happiness is the full use
Of your powers along lines of
excellence in a life affording
Scope"
That this philosophy should
have meaning for him is
revealing. That he learned it
years ago is apparent. That
it made him see politics as a
life affording scope is under
standable. That he has pro-
ceeded along lines of excel
lence is public knowledge.
The war. too, was like
politics in that it provided
opportunity for use of ones
power along lines of excel
lence. Assuredly, the war
afforded scope. He was a sue
cessful combat man. That is
to say, he met danger and
emergency capably, showing
both courage and intelligence,
and survived, saving III one
disaster the lives of others.
He will be the first political
intellectual in the White
House since Franklin Roose-
welt. Both by education which,
happily, was not in any sense
parochial, by nature and ex-
perience, he is at home with
scholarship and scholars.
Throughout the campaign he
often discarded the carefully

he frequently used some quo
