The President States Our Case

But Mr.. Eisenhower said
something even more to the
point as he declared 1t was
obvious that Mr.. KhruShchev
was bent on torpedoing the
summit conference and upon
cancelling the invitation for
the Presidents visit to the
Soviet Union.
But, Notwithstanding all
the boorish diplomacy" Of
Mr.. Khrushchev, the Presi-
dent still wants to continue
busineSSlike dealings with
the Soviet leaders on out
standing issues. and improve
the contacts between our
own sad the Soviet peoples.
making clear that the path
Of reason and common sense
is still open if the Soviets will
but use it"
Thus, the President an
nounces that negotiations for
a ban on nuclear tests and
for some disarmament agree
ment will be continued at
Geneva. Also, the President
appeals to the American
people and Congress when he
says "the gigs and zags Of
the Kremlin cannot be al
lowed to disturb our world
wide programs and purposes"
He favors a continuation of
the military and foreign. aid
programs, particularly eco
nomic assistance to smaller
countries which can become
victims of Communist infll-
tratlon If they are not able
to meet their economic crises.
For the Communists exploit
economic distress and foment
discomfort for their own po-
litical purposes.
The speech was a model Of
restraint under conditions
that might otherwise have
increased rather than de-
creased world tensions, espe-
cially If there had been a
reply in kind to the provoca-
tive outbursts Of Mr.. Khru-
Shchev in Paris.
Mr.. EiSenhower's address
will please our Allies because
he has remained firm, polite
and yet forceful in expressing
our overall purposes and in
describing so earnestly the
goals of peace which the
western world seeks to
attain.

Washington politicians had
been clamoring in the past
that we must do nothing
even in domestic affairs
which might be misconstrued
by our Allies. For instance.
in the matter Of desegrega-
ton, which aroused only a
limited interest across the
Atlantic, it was said that our
conduct was the center of
their attention. We had to go
all the way in deSegregating
schools and bringing together
in every way the colored and
white populations in this
country. lest we lose prestige
and weaken the ties with the
Allies. We had to be like
Caesars wife. since we had
assumed the leadership of the
free world.
The truth gathered from
observations on the spot is
that there was far less active
interest among the Euro
peanS about what we were
doing domestically - except
for the amounts spent on
national defense and foreign
aid-than the politicians and
news media wanted us to
believe.
Now that the summit
meeting is out of the way.
Europe and to a lesser de-
gree Asia and Africa have
become genuinely interested
in the electoral campaign
which is now on the way and
will continue until next No
vember. 1t matters to them
who the next President Of
the United States is going to
be. This week Chancellor
Adenauer advised the Ger
man Spaper en- to

can political scene" France.
Britain. Italy and the smaller
members of NATO are TAX
ing an equally keen interest
in our political scene. The
partiSanship displayed by
professional politicians over
the U-2 incident after a
short-lived pretenSe Of unity
is worrying the Europeans.
The summitry policy has
been abandoned. not only by
the realists in Paris and
Bonn, but also by the Brit
ish. who heretofore were the
strongest advocates of per-
sonal diplomacy. 1t has not
been abandoned here. While
we still have TO hear positive
statements from Vice Presi-
dent Nixon, two of the Dem
ocratic hopefuls, Messrs.
Kennedy and Stevenson, are
definitely in favor of contin-
uation of such gatherings as
soon as possible after the
election. They appear to

the near future. There is no
doubt that the Europeans
need US and our still enor-
nous power, but We are no
longer essential to their sur
vival. The breakdown of the
summit conference caused
by the turbulence of the Red
leader has given them an
impetus to increase their
military power: in the recent
past they had been dragging
their feet, relying exclusively
on what they believed to be
the stern determination Of
the United States to fight in
ternational communism with
only a modicum of assistance
from them.
The utterances of some OF
the aSpirantS to the highest
Office in the United States
and their implied willingness
to continue the obviously
bankrupt Summitry have
made our European allies
more keenly interested in the
forthcoming electoral battle
than ever in the past. State
ments such as those by Mr..
Stevenson that DR.. Adenauer
had been Americas Secre-
tary of State in the last
seven years, or Senator Ken
nedy's stand in favor of the
Algerian rebels worry those
now close to unity in Europe.

and they are by no means at
an end.
The somewhat wan face
and the weary smile of the
returning President, buffeted
by fate and error and bur-
dened by the collapse of much
of his dream, report the fact
he, too. knows there are
heavy tests ahead.
1t is a great and terrible
thing to hold so much re-
Sponsibility. That the Pres
ident feels this was obvious
from his appearance and de-
meanor. He spoke quietly to
the long, bipartisan lines Of
Congressman. Senators. dip
lomats, chiefs of staff and
friends. Included among them
was his pastor, Edward L. r.
Elson.
Before the microphones,
President Eisenhower was

with great care. His eyes
looked tired and he spoke of
having been up since am.

That Gov. Rockefeller had
never really given up hope

careful avoidance of anything
that could be construed as a
personal liking for or an in

In the press cars moving
from the White House to the
Andrews Air base, where the
Presidents aircraft would
land, men recalled with wry
humor that it was but a
brief eight months ago that
we moved out to that same
place to see Mr.. Eisenhower
welcome Nikita Khrushchev
on a red carpet with the
notables of the worlds en-
bassies applauding.
"A lot has happened"
unused one correspondent. "A
lot more is going to happen"
said another.
And this was the mood.
A lot more will happen.
There is the feeling that
great forces are loosed; that
the riderless, brazen-hooved
horses Of the Apocalypse are
rushing across the skies, that
momentous events impend.
But this is because there is
in the present time the great
mystery Of what goes on in
the Soviet Union and how
deep is the shift in policy.
The unknown is always more
fearful than the known.
France already has said she
will take a more independent
role in the future. The alli-
ance is badly shaken, even
though it does not appear
so on the surface. Just how
much of a new policy Gen.
de Gaulle plans will be told
the nation next week. There
is no anger in it for the
United States or the Presi-
dent. But there is bewilder-
ment. None of the allies, the
small nations or the large,
knew of the May l U-2 flight.
They admired the dignity and
restraint of the President

Events Since Khrushchev's Visit

1t is reported the President
is aware of this and feels
very keenly the responsibility
for the errors made. The
alliance is more important
than ever before. There are
reports that the British feel
it will be more bad judgment
for the President to go to
Japan and Korea, as plan
ned. Japan already is the
site of Communist demon
strationS against the United
States. The President would
almost surely have a bad
time of it there. But here in
Washington the present feel

ernment.

that the Red Chinese had

What q contrast there Is
between the ill-mannered
and abusive outbursts of q
personal nature emitted by
Nikita KhruShchev in the
last ten days and the calm
and restrained address which
President Eisenhower de-
livered last night to the
American people.
Forbearance in the face
Of an adversary's insults is
a Christian virtue that is not
always easy to maintain. But
the President showed he was
above the sort Of controversy
INDUCED in by the Soviet
Premier in his unprecedented
attack on the chief executive
of another state.
Never in the annals of di-
plomacy. so far as this writer
can recall, has any interna-
tional conference yielded
such intemperate language
and such utter disregard of
the amenities of states in
their relations with each
other.
But Mr.. Eisenhower, while
not condoning this, plainly
decided not to allow any SEN
SitiveneSs because of an af-
front against him person.
ally to be influential in set
ting a course that might lead
to an estrangement as be-
tween the people of the
United States and the Soviet
people.
The President frankly told
the full details Of the U-2
incident and explained why,
in the interest of possibly
saving the life of the pilot,
it was necessary for a few
hours to cover up some of
the facts. Certainly this
should brush aside many of
the criticisms and focus at
tention on the main issue,
which Mr.. Eisenhower de-
scribed when he said:
Our safety, and that Of
the free world, demand, Of
course, effective systems for
gathering information about
the military capabilities OF
other powerful nations. es-
pecially those that make a
fetish Of secrecy. This in

preoccupationS. 1t is part Of

to guard ourselves and our
Allies against surprise at
tack"
The President stressed the
fact that Soviet Premier
KhruShchev knew about the
U-2 flights when he visited
the United States last Sep
tember but raised no queS-
tion then. AS for discontinue
ance of the flights after
Francis Powers was downed,
Mr.. Eisenhower made it clear
that this particular type of
operation now is no longer
necessary. Obviously the new
satellites currently in the
latest stages of development
can take care Of the same
needs Of aerial inspection.
Evidently the Soviets have
never objected to space satel-
lites because they themselves
use them.
The President. moreover,
answered effectively the
question Of why the flights
were made just before a
summit meeting. He said:
The plain truth is this:
When a nation needs intel
ligence activity, there is no
time when vigilance can be
relaxed. Incidentally, from
Pearl Harbor we learned that
even negotiation itself can be
used to conceal preparations
for a surprise attack"
The tragedy of Pearl Har-
Dor is still fresh in the minds
of the American people, so

in the war which we were
compelled to enter in De-

ton and use of intelligence
information might have

After two defeats and cam
paigning for two months from

THE result is a tribute to
Senator Kennedy's tireless cam

sharply between those who say
everything is okay and those
who say they are not, and that
there is lots more to do.
He took the harder course,
the right course, and told the
people the truth and how much
there is to do to strengthen our
leadership for peace.

at the convention in Chicago
last July that many of the
delegates who had pledged their
votes to Mr.. Nixon had given
their hearts to Senator Gold
water and his fight for an
unapologetically conservative
party.
Additional impetus for the
Goldwater viewpoint is likely to
come from congressional Re-
publicans. whose ranks we're
strengthened yesterday by the
addition of two Senators and
% Representatives.
The G. o. P.'s congressional
leaders, Senator DirAsen of Il

Goldwater than they are to

Freed Of the duty of sup
porting the relatively liberal

President Eisenhower recon-
mended, they may strengthen

Much of the speculation on
the Republicans future turned
on the role Vice President
Nixon would choose to play.
Though the defeated candi-
date himself was silent, his
friends said they expect him to
practice law - probably in
Washington-and give active
leadership to the Republican

Conjectures on Nixon
Another possibility, seen by
friends Of the Vice President in
California. was that he might
return to that State and run
for Governor in 1862.
In either case. 1t appeared
today that Mr.. Nixon, who
received more votes in losing

candidate in history except Mr.
