Next Campaign to Be Less Tough

The Vice President has, Of
course, set an almost equal
pace. Nor is there any doubt
that he, too. really plans an
era Of sharp change from the
recent past. Veteran figures
in the party organization are
authority for the statement
that Mr.. Nixon has held the
reins Of his campaign more
tightly in his own hands
than any Of his modern pre-
decessors and took advice in
most States from personal
aides Of his own choosing.
Such aides were described
as having more youth and
less experience than men
holding the official titles. It
Is admitted that they were
eager; the election returns
will help to show how efficient
they were.
In sum, the age and gene
ration problems confronting
Mr.. Nixon and Senator Ken
nedy will not be repeated
soon and thus will not dictate
so massive a load Of "per-
sonal exposure" to the can
didates. Meanwhile, an in
between group Of men in both
parties with q foot in the
camps Of the old and new
must be used rather prompt
ly by the new President If
they are to have maximum
effectiveness.

The Issue of Senator GoIdwoter

isn't very deep on the bench
in modern performers.
II Mr.. Nixon is defeated, it
will, In part, be because of
his need to declare the ma
tional economy is at its peak
and that the prestige of the
Nation is greater than ever.
Mr.. Nixon knew better. So
did Mr.. Lodge. Both began to
vince when they had to say
it and defend it before audi
ences which included many
unemployed and many more
who were working part time.
They also were hearing from
businessmen who were saying
things were not all that could
be desired.
Both candidates erred in
not talking more about do
mestic isues. But Senator
Kennedy came nearest it,
and said what many people
knew to be true when he said
that we needed to move for
ward, that our economy was
on dead center, that our
prestige was impaired. This
was not a discussion of issues.
But it was the essence of
them.
Because Of the failure to
produce modern Republican,
ism, Senator Goldwater will,
in the event of the Vice Pres
ident's defeat. have a more
popular following than Gov.
Rockefeller. One may ask If
that is modern.

Communist threat, or
whether they want to drift
along with more and more
conferences that in the end
will inevitably mean demands
for greater and greater con-
cessions. It was this process
Of frequent conferences and
steadily increasing conces-
sions that encouraged Hitler
to believe the West wouldn't
fight.
Without doing any saber-
rafting and without taking
any provocative steps. the
United States will be obliged
to indicate in no uncertain
terms that it will fight If
necessary for the protection
Of the whole Western ALI
ance, including Berlin. The
hope Of Moscow has been
that the presidential election
would muddy the waters,
produce vacillation In Ameri-
can policy and ultimately q
retreat In the face Of growing
demands by the Soviet gov
ernment.
With the election cam
paign over, there will be less
partisanship exhibited in the
United States and q tend
ency to unite ranks behind
the Governments policy. But
the preSSures of the pacifist
elements and the appeasers,
who believe that by more
conferences war can be
avoided, will continue, while
in Moscow efforts will be in
tensifled to bear down more
and more heavily on the
West in the belief that big
gains for the Soviets can be
made through such maneu-
vers.
So far as q nuclear war
is concerned, the belief is
growing that neither side
would wish to use nuclear
weapons and that q so-called
limited war is more likely to
ensue. The Soviet theory. of
course, is that the Communist
regime can stand such q war
much more readily than can
the national economy of each
Of the Western countries.
Now that the American
election is over, the Soviet
policy will tend to become
clearer. II ever in history
there were q need for maxi
mum alertness during So
called peacetime, it will be In
the next few months.

Changing Age Factor Alone Expected
To Make "a Drive Less Weorinu

There is every reason to
hope and expect that the
next presidential campaign
need not be so long and so
wearing.
Barring accident, the next
conventions will see an in
cumbent President renom-
mated and the opposite party
choosing either one OF this
years candidates or someone
who has been pushing for
ward this year and during the
three years ahead.
BY 1864 also the factor Of
the age gap between recent
Presidents and today's young
rivals will have been largely
closed. Not much has been
said about it for some reason
but both Vice President Nix
on, Al. and Senator Kennedy,
4S. were acutely aware Of the
difference between their rela-
tive youth and the picture as
seen in the White House for
many decades.
President Eisenhower at 70
has hung up the record of
being the Oldest President on
active duty. Harry Truman
was go when he succeeded
Franklin Roosevelt, Roose-
velt himself was 81 when he
was first sworn in and his
