and California. He lost the
latter by a very narrow
margin.
The really meaningful. i'm
pressive Republican victories
were not by the archcon-
servatives, but by progressives
such as Senator Case. of New
Jersey: Senator SaltonStall,
of Massachusetts,; and Sem
ator Smith in Maine. The
political conservatism which
Senator Goldwater urges can
never have more than a
limited field. It is dogma
without innovation. 1t has
been the bold innovation of
the British Tory party in the
fields of government aid in
housing, medical care, and in
social legislation which gen.
orally has enabled it to re-
duce the Socialist Labor Party
to near impotence. BY so
doing, it has preserved true
conservatism.
The attitude of those Re-
publicans who have expressed
themselves, as has conserva-
tive Hazlitt, is in poor taste
and therefore unpalatable.
The Vice President in
herited a Republican organ
ization which was, in many
areas, poorly prepared and
lacking in strength precisely
because, in 1852. the White
House abandoned its plan Of
progressive party organiza-
ton in the, deal with Senator
Taft and the conservative
faction. This alliance con-
tinued. The effect Of this
decision, more than any other
factor, defeated Mr.. Nixon.
He now has the party in its
healthieSt state in years. It
may well be that he, Senator
Case and others can keep it

The Asian-A African bloc IN
the United Nations has dem
onstrated very Enthusiastically
that, whenever it votes as q
bloc in concert with the
Soviet bloc. the West is a
loser. This is a new develop
ment in the General Assem-
bly,, but certainly one that
has not been unexpected.
This column, for one. forecast
the inevitable at least four
years ago.
Are there. then. three blocs
in the U. NJ, and is the West
the free world-the third
of three. to be consistently
outvoted by the Reds and the
Afro-Asians whenever their
interests coincide. as they
frequently do?
The answer quite clearly is
yes-with the proviso that the
West in itself is not even a
cohesive bloc" but rather an
unreliable collection of ma
tions which can vote together
only sometimes, and by no
means always.
All Moscow needs to do, in
getting the votes of the Com
munist bloc, is to let the
satellites know what the line
is going to be. The Kremlin
simply indicates to Hungary,
Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bull
garia, Romania. Albania, By

latter two fictional nations"
within the Soviet Union it
self, which Stain was able
to get accepted as "independ-
emf" when the U. N. Charter
was adopted in 1945) what
the proper vote will be. And
all obey, without question or
cavil.

him in, others credit agents of
the Cameroonian government
with the Job.
1t is more likely that the
Communists killed Moumie.
Ahidjo's moderate regime had
gained the solid support Of the
other II French African states.
Even Guinea and Ghana, once
his most severe critics, had rec
cognized his governm e n It.
Moumie was beginning to be-
come a bit of an embarrass-
ment to Soviet diplomats in
Africa.
The Air is Cleared
His death has cleared the
air here. 1t is safe to walk the
streets at night. Even though
terrorists incidents still occur
IN the Bamileke country, the
sporadic fighting apparently
has degenerated into intra-
tribal feuding.
With their position secure at
home, Ahidjo and his cabinet
ministers have been able to
devote more time to the coun-
try's other problems. Prime
Minister Charles Assale return
ed a few days ago from a visit
to Germany, which is showing
considerable interest in invest
ment in its former colony.
This is good news for the
republic. Although Cameroun
exports 100000 tons of cocoa,
coffee, bananas, wood and cot
ton worth $50 million, the coun-
try suffers from a trade deficit
and French subsidies still &C
count for about so percent of
the annual budget.
Although the California sized
nation is not member of the
French Community, it enjoys
all the benefits of membership.
French troops and technicians
are on hand to assist the gov
eminent and French financial
aid since 1947 has exceeded
$500 million.
Needs an Assist
Ahidjo needs all the aid he
can get. His 80 million people
are split into 200 tribes and
there are sharp contrasts in
the degree of development
found in the various regions.
In the south, where mission
airy activity has been most in
tense, 80 percent of the boys
and Is percent of the girls gel
some education. In Ahidjos
own Muslin north, the per.
centages fall to 18 percent anc
l percent.
In addition. the country's few
industries-the sawmills anc
the Edea aluminium factory
are located in the south, Whost
more advanced Christian popu,
latlon resents being governed
by the more primitive northern,
ers.
To completely douse the fire
of rebellion and to counter tn,
pulls of sectionalism, Ahidj,
/, desperately needs a dramati,
political triumph.
