Gen. Eisenhower was the

Hits Citizen Disinterest
In an advance text described
as notes." he cited what he
called the threat Of power
hungry politicians in Wash

with lack Of citizen interest
means "a growing dependence
on governmental largesse ad.
ministered by a. centrally di.

Gen. Eisenhower did not
name President Kennedy OF
his administration, as earlier
critics had done in speeches
at the gathering.
But he said that Government
policies Of the l930s "have been
once more embraced and car
ried even further in central

'Nothing-to-Lose' Vote

Canada'S national election results
indicate that, relatively speaking, the
most appealing slogan Of the rather dull
campaign was the Social Credit Party's
reminder to the voters that you have
nothing to lose" Holding no seats in
the last Parliament, the right-wing
Social Credit group appears to have
picked up 80 on the strength of polling
nearly IL per cent of the popular vote
cast on Monday. And perhaps emphasiz-
ing the protest nature of this showing,
"a Of these seats were won in the pri-
marily French Canadian province of
Quebec, once Liberal Party stronghold
that switched to the Conservative Party
in 1858.
AS for the Liberals, despite their
good gain from 81 to tentative 81
seats and a modest increase in percent
age of popular vote, they fell substan-
TALLY short of a comeback to power. AS
an alternative to the Conservatives of
Prime Minister Diefenbaker, the Liberals
had to share this weeks favorS not
only with the Social Credit candidates
but with the SocialiStic New Democratic
Party that polled about IA per cent of
the popular vote and increased its seats
in Commons from eight to 10.
In effect, the results settled little
or nothing about Canadian government
policies in the near future. Still COM
handing the largest single bloc of seats,
118, though no longer a majority, Mr..
Diefenbaker has indicated he will at
tempt to function with a minority gov
ernment-aS he did for ten months in
1878. Without a formal coalition
with one of the smaller parties, such
as the Social Credit group, Conservative
prospects of repeating this difficult
maneuver appear to rest upon avoiding
controversial issues in Commons until
the time seems favorable for calling
another general election. If the issues
will wait, this strategy may work. If
not, Canadians may be going back to
the polls before another twelve months
have passed.

grancy, as reported in The

sigh at the distance our
country has travelled from

who ingeniously converts
common objects to provide
shelter and nourishmnet for
himself, without harm to
anyone. ought to be &C
claimed, not arrested!
Why must this man be
forced to give up his unique

few Of us today who can

they have made unaided. If

Softer on Berlin

Once again, this time on his current
tour of Romania, Nikita KhruShchev
has declared that the Soviet Union will
sign separate pact with puppet East
Germany unless the West agrees to
join in the type of German peace treaty
he has been demanding Once again, too,
he has warned that the signing of
separate pact would end Anglo-French-
American occupation rights in free Ber-
lin. Significantly enough, however, in
this latest of his many statements on
theSubject, he has used relatively tenn
perate language, and he has been at
pains to make clear that he has set no
deadline.
All of which constitutes quite a
change from some of the Soviet Pre-
mier'S past announcements on the
question - ultimatum- pronounce
mentS delivered truculently on a men
acing or-elSe basis. Apparently he has
become convinced that the West will
not be intimidated by such talk and
that 1t means business when it says,
as it has been saying for years past,
that it will not give up its rights or
duties in Berlin and that it will defend
the free sectors against any act of Com
muniSt aggression. In the circumstances,
unless they are willing to risk an
armed clash that could "eScalate" into
nuclear war (Mr. KhruShchev has told
the Romanians, II don't see any reason
to go to war;, the men of the Kremlin
have good cause to back away from
their original deadline-Setting threat
fulneSS on this issue
And there is another factor that
may have something to do with Mr..
KhruShchev'S softer" Berlin line in
recent months: There is economic strain,
especially in the field of farm output,
everywhere behind the Iron Curtain.
The Soviet and satellite peoples are
eating less and paying more for the
privilege. Within, the past few weeks,
for example, the Russian masses have
had imposed upon them Is per cent
increase in the price of butter and a
80 per cent increase in the price of meat.
In society long afflicted with depri-
walton, this is something that hits hard
at stomach and pocketbook alike, and
there can be little doubt that it gener-
ates social discomfort and political
reStiveness. Accordingly, together with
Western firmness, it may be tending
to persuade the Kremlin to try to abate
the tensions of the cold war instead of
intenSifying them.
If that is the fact of the matter,
then the Berlin situation (unlesS shoot
ing incidents at the CommuniSt-built
wall result in an explosion of incalcu-
liable consequences is not likely to
worsen in the weeks and months ahead.
Indeed, assuming that Mr. Khrushchev
really wants to lessen the city'S Soviet
created crisis atmosphere, the periodic
talks here between Secretary Rusk, and
Ambassador Dobrynin may yet lead to
mutually acceptable agreement. The
world must hope SO, at any rate.

I am reasonably certain
that Ralph McGill's Right
iSt Deceit and Risk of War"
column of June IA was in
reply to my letter in The
Star of June 10 in which I
advocated furnishing Chang
Kai-shek with equipment and
money for an invasion of
mainland Communist China.
At least I have seen no
other such proposal recently.
Therefore. I must be the
extreme political right" to
which he refers and mine
may also be the false and
hypocritical whining about a
'no-win' policy"
Against the loud and bitter
opposition of the McGills to
any molestation of commu-
nism anywhere, a growing
segment Of Americans is COM
ing to realize we are losing
the cold war with a mo
win" policy which McGill dis
claims but which is spelled
out in an article written in
l947 by Arthur Schlesinger,
jr., top Kennedy adviser. Says
SchleSinger: The United
States must maintain a pre-
carious balance between a
complete readiness to repel
Soviet aggression beyond a
certain limit and complete
determination to demonstrate
within this limit no agrees
sive United States intentions
toward the U. S. S. r. 1t
must commit itself, economi-
cally, politically. and mill
tarily, to the maintenance of
this balance over a long
period.
That SchleSinger not only
still believes this but has
convinced the Kennedy ad-
ministration is demonstrated
by the recent elimination of
the word victory" from CEN
sored military speeches, the
withdrawal of air support
from the Inflated Cuban in
vaderS and our retreat from
Laos into Thailand follow
ing the forced inclusion of
Communists in the Laotian
government.
Similarly, our eventh
Fleet has long and effectual-
ly blocked Chang Kai-shek
from any possibility of in
vading mainland Commu-
mist China. Such invasion,
McGill says piously, would
