Whether or not q President
Of the United States should
put aside his official activ-
tiles In Washington and
make a trip to Europe 5000
miles away has often been
debated but never resolved to
everybody's satisfaction. Yet
the most important reason
for a President to 60 to
Europe. or anywhere else
abroad. is to accomplish
something he can never do
BY staying home-to sway
the tides Of public opinion
on issues Of the day.
Few people on this side
Of the ocean are aware Of
the difficulties Of getting
across the American view
point abroad. The press in
Europe nowadays treats the
United States better than 1t
did in past decades, but the
newspapers rarely print in
full the speeches or press
conferences Of q President or
his Secretary of State. These
are not often broadcast.
Editorials continuously ex-
press criticisms, but the mil
lions Of people in Western
Europe rarely have an OPP
portunity to get firsthand
the fundamentals Of Ameri-
can policy because local diff
ferences are accented.
When q President goes
abroad, therefore, what he
says and does becomes news
that gets more space than
when 1t Is cabled or radioed
from far-away America.
Mr.. Kennedy has been
criticized for taking q trip
to Europe at a time when he
has some pressing problems
at home. But he couldn't
cancel his arrangements
without evokine more criti-
cism and hurting the feel
ings Of the various govern
ments concerned.
The most important issue
in Europe today Is whether
a coalition Of the free gov
ernments Of the West can
function effectively. Eco
nomic reasons for an alliance
are numerous In theory, but
in practice there are bar

CHARLES BARTLETT

The political price Of the
Negroes revolt Is being dis
covered by the public opin-
ion pollsters around the
country who find that It has
precipitated q sharp decline
in the national popularity Of
President Kennedy.
One cost to the President
Of the Negro rampage has
inevitably been O loss Of the
assured prospects Of re-elec-
ton in 1854 that were ac-
corded him until recently by
almost every political OBJ
server, Democrat and Re-
publican. The Negroes have
produced 0 national sense Of
critical unease that will bring
Mr.. Kennedy within striking
distance Of O Republican
contender.
The irony Of the situation
Is that the President has
been damaged by the South
ern belief that the Negroes
new mood was stirred by the
encouragement they derived
from the things that he has
done for them. The Negroes.
to the contrary, maintain that
their unruly impotence has
stetnmed from the things the
President and his predeces-
sors failed to do In their be-
half.
Caught between these fires
Of discomfort, the President
has taken steps calculated to
cap the Negro emotion and
avert o serious national
emergency. Southern hostility
Is unavoidable In the circum-
stances, but II his policies
should fall short Of subdu-
ing the Negro fire and re-
storing q sense Of order to
the land, the President will
face the further damage Of
spreading resentment In re-
gions outside the South.
The big question therefore
Is whether the Negroes
can be induced to take their
aspirations off the streets
and place them in the Pres
ident's hands. This Is an awe
