Their Last Reserves

The hard-pressed G. o. p, with the
election less than week away, Is COM
mitting its last reserves to the 1860 preSi-
Dental battle.
Throughout today and this evening,
the big guns will be trained on New York
City and its metropolitan area. The
shock troops who will be thrown into this
assault include President Eisenhower,
the Vice President, Mr.. Lodge and Gov
ernor Rockefeller. This concentration Of
force is especially interesting in view
of the general belief that New York's as
electoral votes will wind up in the Demo-
cratic column. Presumably, however, the
Republican high command is not con-
vinced that the State Is lost, for it would
hardly expend so much talent and effort
this late in the campaign II the cause
were thought to be hopeless.
After the New York foray, Mr.. Nixon
will start on final 18,000-nile tour
which will take him to South Carolina,
Texas, Michigan, wyoming, Alaska and
his native California Meanwhile, the
President, in what looks like last
minute revision Of battle plans, is ex-
pected to campaign Friday in Pittsburgh
and Cleveland key cities in the cru
cially important States of Pennsylvania
and Ohio
There is temptation to attribute
this massive effort In the last week of
the campaign to sense Of desperation
in the Republican camp. But the temp
tation should be resisted. For one thing,
whatever may be the case in New York,
there is reason to believe that the G. o. P.
StrategiStS are convinced that Mr.. Nixon
cannot win without Pennsylvania and
possibly Ohio, and, furthermore, that
they also think those States can be car
ried. If this is the case, Mr.. Eisenhower's
venture into Pittsburgh and Cleveland is
being counted on to produce the final
push. For another thing, the whole
Nixon strategy has been based on max
ing a tremendous effort in the closing
stages and especially in the final week of
the campaign. There has been no Sc
cret about this. He said it weeks ago,
and he still says that in this last
week, believing that Senator Kennedy
peaked" too soon, he proposes to wage
the most intensive campaign in the
Nations history"
Having considerable respect for Mr.
Nixon's political Sagacity, we do not pre-
sumo to question the soundness of his
judgment. He may be right when he says
he thinks "the tide is running our way
and that we are going to win." Still,
there persists the memory of other tides
and trends which were detected by polit-
ical candidates on the eve of elections in
other years, but which were found to
have vanished with the wind when the
votes were counted.

POLITICAL VIEWS

Even a good Republican
might agree with Senator
Fulbright regarding "polit-
ical" shenanigans in our State
Department. But surely he
isn't suggesting they've all
been Republican" inspired.
For seven years we've heard
gripes regarding the number
and influence of old New
Deal loyalists still in State
Department policy making
positions.
AS for Kennedy's great to-
do about a USIA report sup
posedly showing our slow"
prestige-and that it relates
to "the U-2 incident, the
summit collapse, Tokyo riots
and Castro's anti-American
frenzy"-So what? If AmeriA
can apologists must go
around the world taking polls
which by their very nature
imply that we doubt our own
relative strength and deter
mination-they couldn't have
picked q better time to
prove" it. Incidentally, we
heard a British newspaper
man make a comment on the
proof of our real prestige
which a lot of Americans
might do we'll to remember:
To-wit, America has to set up
stiff immigration laws to try
to keep people from all over
the world from actually over
running our country, while
Russia can't even coax i'm
migrants in, and even when
she does, has to set up an
Iron Curtain to keep them
from leaving.

Mr.. Kennedy has stressed
the Importance of strength
ening Americas military
forces and also its hand
before negotiating with the
Russians at any summit
meeting. He has shown pro-
found awareness of the past,
and future, while Mr.. Nixon
has persisted in superficial,
spurious, and emotional &C
cusations against his Dem
ocratic opponent. To criticize
the weakness of the Repub-
lican administration. so it
seems to Mr.. Nixon land
also to Mr.. Eisenhower, is
to advertise the weakness of
the Republic.

Good for the Country

There are several ways to evaluate
the announcement by Chairman Frederic
G. Donner of General Motors Corpora
ton that his company plans to invest
SIPS billion in plant expansion and
modernization, here and abroad, in 1861.
The first, on strictly business-like
basis, is that GIN thinks it is both es-
sential and potentially profitable that
the corporation should put this very
substantial amount of capital into it's
production facilities. Mr. Donner backs
up this calculation with an estimate that
new passenger car sales in the United
States are likely to go as high as
seven million in 1861, including imports
which may total 450,000 For 1860, GIN
estimates sales-for all companies-at
about 6.8 million.
A second way Is to take at face value,
and there Is no reason to take 1t other
wise, Mr.. Donner's statement that GIN
has faith in the continued economic
progress of this country and of the free
world as whole, and in the continued
demand for the products we manufac-
ture." On this point, Mr.. Donner projects
his estimate far beyond 1861 to forecast
that by 1870 about 16 n ,llion passenger
cars and four million tcks will be sold
annually in the free We kld. The Ameri-
can market, he adds, probably will &C
count for 9.5 million of this total.
A third way, since this is moment
when the national economy is marking
time and politicians are arguing about
whether we are in or heading for a re-
cession, is to suggest that Mr.. Donner is
being optimistic for purposes of bright
ening up the business picture-or pos
sibly the political picture. Even If this
were true about the timing, however, it
hardly could be true about the invest
ment plans themselves. No company,
including GIN, would commit itself to

greater next year than this
year" Whether or not one
takes seriously runners Of an
open Chinese military inter-
vention in Algeria. there can
be no doubt at all that the
aid offered is tangible and
substantial.
In this situation the argu-
ment that Algeria is legally
q part Of France is quite ir-
relevant. If Algeria Is indeed
part Of France, then France
itself Is under attack by a
coalition Of foreign powers
now which includes China
and the Soviet Union. And
this surely is a state of af-
fairs in which the U. N.
might reasonably be expected
to take an interest.
Objective, Backed by u. N.
Indeed, it is a state Of af-
fairs in which the persistent
refusal Of France to make
q powerful case before the
U. N. is almost incompre-
henSible. Gen. De Gaulle's
stated objective in Algeria-
free decision of the Algerian
people as to their own future
lis supported by a large
majority Of the U. N. Even
Russian Premier Khrushchev
claims to approve the prin-
ciple Of self determination as
q solution to the Algerian
problem.
If Gen. de Gaulle went be-
fore the U.N. with a renewed
offer Of q negotiated peace
in Algeria. based on free
elections, there is every rea-
son to believe that a majority
Of the Assembly would back
him up. The effect of such
backing would be great in
France where the support for
a liberal solution is under at
tack from rightwing extre-
tremists. But. more import
ant, it could well be decisive
In opening the way for nego-
tiations on q cease-flre with
Algerian nationalist leaders.
Even among the uncommit-
ted and anti-colonialist mem
bers of the Assembly the new
turn Of their leaders toward
Moscow and Peking must
have come as something of a
jolt. The case Of the Congo
showed how little liking the
newly independent nations Of
Africa and Asia have for the
spread Of Communist influ-
ence in these areas. It is not
a question Of victory of one
side over the other. 1t Is.
rather-in France as well as
in Algeria question of vic
tory Of a liberal instead Of
a radical solution of the prob
lem. AS between the alter
natives Of a freely decided
political solution or extension
and intensification of the war
the French have no reason
whatever to feel that their
case is a weak one.
It is a case, however, that no
one else can make for them.
The United States can, as it
has done in the past, use its
influence to water down the
various resolutions to a point
where condemnation Of
France is fairly mild. In q
showdown, a number of
states, including the newly
liberated French African
territories, may abstain
rather than vote against the
country which has treated
them literally and generously.
But the only real opportunity
Of seizing the initiative in the
coming debate lies with
France itself. And as long as
Gen. de Gaulle refuses to pre-
sent his side of the case, the
opportunity will be lost by
default.

atomic warfare, should re-
examine Mr.. Kennedy's pro-
posals for rebuilding our
armed forces so that they
are prepared for the con-
flnement of hostilities to
small areas. Eisenhower's
reduction of the traditional
weapons of defense (out of
consideration for the tax
payers pocketbook) has been
putting more and more of
our defense eggs into the
atomic basket-and also into
the realm of worldwide con-
flict. Mr.. Kennedy is sound

It is plain that Candidate
Kennedy is not as interested
in his country's prestige as
he is in his own. He keeps
hammering at this issue just
as If it were the only thing
that should concern us. He
has actually done as much to
lower our prestige, since the
campaign started, as Truman
has with his undignified
vituperations and his party's

my sympathy with her point

the specific gravity of vitriol,
she has been writing with a
heavy pen.
I realize that hers have
not been intended as straight

United Nations debate on Al

making q nationwide tele.

to renew his appeal for ma

nounce some new French
move to break the Algerian
deadlock. Unless all dope
sters are mistaken, he will
ignore the U. N. entirely. And
this, In the opinion Of q num-

which the u. N. has no busi-

every reason to believe when
the debate starts that the

have always done before and
walk out. The probability is
that no one at the u. N. viii
speak up for France and that
in the end some kind Of res
olution will be passed con-
demning French colonial
ism" in Algeria. The result
will be what it has been be-
fore: Encouragement for re-
bellion-reinfo forcement of the
rightwing extremists in AL
geria-deep bitterness and
discouragement in France it
self.
It doesn't have to happen
this way. # Gen. deGaulle
would face UP to what Is
really happening in Algeria;
If he would accept the fact
that the war has already
been thoroughly "interna-
tionalized" by the rebels
themselves: If he would grasp
the implications of open sup
port Of the rebellion by China
and Russia; If he would 60

himself and present the
French case-the results
could be very different.
France Under Attack
For q long time the French
have been arguing In q con-
Trajectory way about Al
geria. While maintaining the
fiction Of internal rebellion,
they have also argued that
their Algerian struggle was
really a fight against an in
ternational Communicated
conspiracy aimed at estab-
fishing q bridgehead in
North Africa. The recent
trip to Peking and Moscow
of Ferhat Abbas, Premier Of
the Algerian nationalist pro-
visional government, has now
largely resolved the contra
diction. It has provided sub
stantial support for the the
sis that the French are fight
ing communism in Algeria.
And 1t has knocked the argu-
ment Of an internal French
problem into the proverbial
cooked hat.
It has, of course. been per-
fectly evident that the Al
gerian war was anything but
an internal affair. Today
there are many times more
Algerian nationalist troops
outside the country in Tu-
nisia and Morocco than there
are in Algeria. The provi-
sional government of the re-
bellion is in Tunis. Arms and
supplies of the nationalist
army come very largely from
sources outside Algeria it
self.
Add now the aid and COM
fort promised by Peking and

the motive for landing 1,45O
