dency than winning it, he said.
Even at times when there has
been a father image in the
White House, America never
listened to the siren song Of
power. There never has been
and I trust there never will be
a willingness to delegate powers
of our representative form of
Government to the White
House.
THE whip hand in the White
House, operating upon a Con-
gress in which the Presidents
party enjoys a two-thirds ma
jority in both houses, has failed
because the President had at
tempted physical rather than
moral leadership"
Sees misunderstanding
The United States foreign aid
program is greatly misunder-
stood in Europe as well as at
home and a public information
program on a worldwide scale
is needed to meet the problem,
the bankers were told by Eric
Johnston, president of the Mo-
ton Picture Association of
America, in another address.
Mr.. Johnston offered these
remarks of a British official as
typical of the attitude in Eu-
rope: "You chaps are showing |
off all this stuff on people to
get rid of your own surplus.
You give people things they
don't want, don't need and
can't USE" The speaker said
Senator Humphrey, Democrat
Of Minnesota, is working on
plans to meet this problem.
Mr.. Johnston predicted that
Britain will join the Common
Market, but said that American
urging to do this has been re-
scented and has complicated the
situation.
Some British papers have
even made the outlandish claim
that we want Britain to join so
that we can get Canada and
away from them" he
declared.
Mr.. Johnston has Just re-
turned from a session Of the
Atlantic Institute.
