Asia, and expanding even to
our own doorstep in Cuba and
South America. Why has so
little opposition come from
America? Is it possible that
something has been wrong with
our policies. or with our under
standing upon which the poll
cies are constructed?
Why Go Along?
Through the years, some of
the men determining policies
ard serving in high government
positions have not been dedi-
Gated to halting the advance of
socialistic and communistic sys-
TENS throughout the world. Ra-
tiler, they themselves have been
willing to go along with what
they consider 'the wave of the
future" Let us try a little So
cialism along with them, they
seem to say. Among the nations
coming to Washington for hand
outs, the socialist nations never
seem to find their political sys-
tenn a handicap. In fact. being
an active Communist back home
seems to be an asset in their
quests for dollars.
Then there are the Yugoslavs,
who with the handy assistance
OF the Russians have played
Uncle Sam for a sucker for
| years to the tune of more than
| two billion dollars. Admitted
ly there may have been a time
when aid to Tito looked promis-
ing, but who is responsible for
allowing the money flow to con-
tinue all these years? And now
Cheddi Jagan, the newly elect
ed Communist premier of Bri-
fish Guiana. tries the same sort
of international blackmail. Do
! we not need a foreign policy,
including policy on aid, that
will prevent these masqueraders
from undoing us?
No Apologies. Please!
We need men in public serv-
ice who are more devoted to
principle than pragmatic poll
ticians are to pleasing every
body. 1t simply will not do to
play hide-and-seek with princi-
Piles when the future of the ma
ton and the free world is at
stake. If we can shore up our
attitude at home toward govern
ment-do-all and government
take-all trends leading to social
ism here at home, we then may,
when we have the opportunity,
patiently teach other peoples
methods by which we have be-
come the most favored nation.
Just what do we stand for? The
free. capitalistic system, and no
apologies are needed. Without
something to believe in our
selves, however. we shall have

A PLEA FOR LEADERSHIP
A PLEA FOR LEADERSHIP

In this explosive. wobbly
world, it becomes Increasingly
clear that the U. S. can contri-
butte most soundly toward peace
and stability by pursuing
policy of firm resistance to-
ward the spread of Communism
ii this hemisphere or anywhere
else. Then, secondly, the U. S.
in its relations toward less for
tunate nations should show the
world how to do real job of
building a free dynamic econo-
my based upon private owner
ship seems to demand these
things of us.
Our national leaders seem at
times, to understand the Rus
slams. At other times, perhaps
the President speaks more for
himself than for his top officers,
who are somewhat closer to the
action along the front lir.es than
he is. AS James Reston, of the
New York Times, suggested,
President Kennedy speaks like
the challenger Churchill but acts
more like the appeaser Cham
berlain. To say the least, the
president so far has not been
handicapped by his rhetoric, ex-
cept that it has sometimes pro-
vided marked contrast with the
deeds of his administration.
What Basic Policy?
Time has not yet permitted
the American people to inter-
pret what meaning the Presi-
dent. intended when a few
weeks ago he declared that it
was our determination to have
a "wider choice" than either
annihilation or appeasement.
Was this an invitation to
Khrushchev to relax and nego-
tiate, on the basis that what
ever belongs to America is ne
gotiable? Let us hope not. 1t
is my belief that the Russian
premier will respect only firm
ness and strength. He likes to
turn the tension on and Of t
when it suits him, and he will
exploit any signs of weakness.
With and without negotia-
tons, the Reds have marched
ahead for the past twenty years,
strengthening their hold in

nothing to offer them.
Our foreign aid spending so
far has made us few friends.
We have not used this as an
opportunity to build respect, a
thing increasingly difficult to do
when Uncle Sam has a reputa-
tion for picking up the checks.
But instead of acting like weak
apologists for our system, we
ought to speak up and promote
what it has to offer. America
needs to play it fair and straight
ir foreign relations. When we
learn to do that, We shall find
favor and friends the world
over.
