President we ever had. These
were headlined as great
achievements in our inter-
national relations. The fact
that vest crowds cheer is
meaningless insofar as dip
lomacy is concerned. People
like parades and shows. The
high sounding words in Off
cial communiques are often
only so many words. Diplo-
macy is a hard bargaining
affair of give and take. The
plaudits of the masses have
little impact on the actual
problems between nations.
But when our chief magis-
trate meets with setbacks
such as the withdrawal of
the invitation to visit the
Soviet Union and Japan there
is a hue and cry from the
news media and politicians
that the Presidents prestige
and glamor have been badly
tarnished and the country's
position in the world has been
irreparably damaged.
1t is true that had Mr..

been subjected since last

the conclusion must be
reached that the humiliations
by Premier Khrushchev and
the Japanese Communist

not affect the stand of the

cialist Party locked out Of
Parliament.
The Communists were
quick to take advantage Of
the situation. Every resist
ance movement in Europe
in the Second World War
soon found itself largely led
and directed by Communists.
They were used to carrying
on an underground opera
ton. They were valuable
allies. At wars end the Com
munistS were in strong posi-
tions in most of the govern
ments hastily established in
the wake Of the German sur
render. France and italy
were rescued only by a con-
siderable local effort and by
the helpful economic effect
of the Marshall Plan.
So 1t was in Japan. The
Socialists included a few
Communists. There was a
Marxist student group. There
were other organizations
committed to an anti-mili-
tary position because Of
Japan's suffering from war,
especially the two atomic
attacks.
The Communists we're able
to provide leadership, street.
mob organization and tactics,
and the propaganda incen-
tives. They were also able to
produce the shock troops Of
street fighting.
For communism it was an
unforeseen opportunity. The
President, target Of Mr.!
Khrushchev's insults at
Paris, could be made their
target. 1t is likely that Red
China and Russia both had
agents at Tokyo.
There is no blinking the
fact that what happened was
a severe defeat for United
States prestige and, since we
lead the West, for our al
lies. 1t will encourage the

the statement of Senator

should have expressed his re-
grets at the U-2 incident, the
fact is that the summit con-

The best that was to be
expected long before Mr.. Eli

the spirit of Camp David"

agreement to meet again.
Similarly, the outrageous be-
havior of the Communists in
Tokyo and their screams
against the Presidents visit
were only a facade for their
efforts to overthrow Prime
Minister Kishi and defeat the
American japanese treaty.
A close analysis Of the events
in Tokyo shows this very
clearly.
All these facts prove con-
clusively that Skillful Com

U-2 incident and the Japa-

American newspapers and

The perhaps inevitable ru-
mors follow in the wake Of
the Japanese disaster: Ike
will resign shortly after his
return home to deprive the
Communists of their use Of
him as a symbol Of obstruc-
ton to peace. This further
will relieve the Republican
Party of the need to defend
his leadership.
1t is a false rumor, utterly
without basis of fact.
But that it is reported does
point up one of the most
lamentable personal trage-
dies of our time. Until the
Four-Power failure at Paris
a few weeks ago, President
Eisenhower was a worldwide
symbol of peace. Not even
the Communists were able to
attack him. The leader of
world communism, Nikita
Khrushchev, publicly de-
clared Mr.. Eisenhower to be
a man of good will and one
sincerely dedicated to the
search for peace through ne
gotiation.
The sudden collapse Of the
summit meeting, in which
the RuSsian-downed U-2 re-
connaissance plane was en-
ployed as the instrument Of
destruction, precipitated an
almost insanely bitter per-
sonal attack on the President.
In Japan the Communists
again made him the symbol
of hate and aggression. Here
of late the stupidity of de-
cision and plain bad luck
have enabled communism to
take advantage of situations
not before available. The
handling Of the U-2 incident
was one. In Japan the Kishi
government, strongly loyal
to the United States, made
itself vulnerable to attack by
the non Communist left by
forcing through the United
States treaty with the So

Human beings were actu-
ally slaughtered. The lives Of
innocent persons were crushed
out by artillery shells. They
were not Europeans or Amer
leans. They were Chinese.
Does this make a difference?
For there are no page ad-
vertisements in the metro
politan papers signed with
the names of prominent per-
sons denouncing such inhu-
manity.
There are no petitions pro-
claimed by organizations such
as cry out against nuclear
testS-usually on the basis
of humane considerations.
The families on the IA tiny
islands of the Quemoy group
were terrorized by 174,000
shellS-an all-time record in
the Formosa Strait hostili-
ties. In fact, in three hours
of the two days the Commu-
nists fred more shells than
they did in the first two
weeks of the 1858 crisis.
Yet the Communist govern
ment in Peiping which
undertook the bombardment
solely as o gesture of hostility
toward President Eisenhower
and the United States, seems
to be getting away with its
barbaric act. Those British
newspapers. for instance,
which heaped Goals Of criti-
ciSrn on President Eisenhower
for going to the Far East
have not denounced the Red
China government for its
wanton behavior. One reason
perhaps is that the British
have extended diplomatic
recognition to the Red China
government. They did so
largely to protect their COM
mercial interests in Hong
Kong.

torn by strife from within
and will be a victim more

When the Red Chinese be-

contempt and scorn" for
President Eisenhower-as the
Peiping Radio declared-it
might have been supposed
that the free world would
react to such a maneuver
with expressions of horror
and disgust. President Eli
senhower referred to the
shelling when he spoke in
