THESE DAYS
Intelligent Self-Interest
Injected Into Diplomacy
Tho’ Christ a thousand times in Bethlehem be born,
If He's not born in thee, thy soul is still forlorn.—Johannes Scheffler.
Complacency Is Dangerous
What the Western alliance really
needs is another Grade A “incident”-ike
the Berlin blockade to remind them that
they live on the edge of a volcano, and
their only hope of survival is to do what
the man Dulles said—get together pron-
to and cut out the stalling.
Whether the Kremlin will oblige by
creating such an incident remains to be
seen. The Kremlin’s best role under the
circumstances is to lie doggo and pre-
tend to be unconcerned. It doesn’t take
much to lull the wishful-thinkers into a
sense of false security.
It wouldn’t be necessary for our Mr.
Dulles to prod the European alliance into
action if the Kremlin would just put on
another Berlin blockade or a reasonable
facsimile thereof.
But let the Communists turn inward in
contemplation of their own navels a-
while, and the free world gets careless
and overconfident. The session of the
all-Soviet Congress a few months ago.
clearly indicated the policy was to look
inward for the time being, and the series
of purges in Russia and satellite coun-
tries which began almost immediately
teemed to emphasize that the Kremlin
wasn’t kidding.
It would be impossible to say how
much this inward-turning of Soviet poli-
cy influenced our West European al-
lies to relax and start dragging their feet
on creation of the European Army and
other steps toward building strength
against the threat of Communist power.
But it could be the basic cause of the
letdown, and you may be sure the Krem-
lin coolly calculated on this.
The chance that Mr. Dulles’ warnings
will arouse our allies to prompt and de-
cisive action doesn’t seem too good as
long as the Kremlin concentrates on in-
ternal matters to the apparent neglect
of its long-term, ruthless and determined
main objective—namely, world conquest.
The current Red policy of lull-and-de-
ceive is dangerous to the West. It is pay-
ing off. It is making it harder for the
West to realize the danger and organize
against it.
One or two untoward incidents of the
magnitude of the Berlin blockade would
end this era of complacency in the West
quickly.
The jet pilot may never see the enemy
plane his own mount is following; he
just rides a jet that is doing its own
spotting and shooting. Often the first
knowledge a pilot has that his plane has
shot down an enemy is when the flam-
ing craft starts falling or disintegrating.
How do you like those apples’
The Air Force gave out that some of
its F94B‘s chased Red jets over North
Korea the night before, but the Reds
struck out for home and refused com-
bat.
The beauty of these automatic planes
is that they are effective in the darkness
of night, in cloud and in fog. That is why
they are called all-weather.
It also reminds us that our plane-
building program, and the building up of
our Air Force generally, should be given
top priority and pushed for all it is worth.
We need all of them we can get, in
the quickest way possible; for obviously
here is the No. 1 defense against the in-
vasion of atom-bomb carrying enemy air-
craft
Fantastic Weapons
The Fifth Air Force and the Marine
Air Wing unveiled Thursday some of
those “fantastic new weapons” former
President Truman referred to a year or
two ago.
They are the Air Force’s F94B all-
weather jet fighter and the Marine Doug-
las F3 Skynight jet. The latter is a two.
jet plane that flies faster than sound.
Both types have been in service over Ko-
rea since last November but their pres-
ence and performance, as well as a de-
scription of what makes them tick, had
been concealed for security reasons. Now
the wraps are off.
The radar and electronic gadgets with
which these planes are equipped enable
them to “lock” on target aircraft and
guide the jet in unerring pursuit. With
the bit in its teeth, so to speak, one of
these night fighter planes follows the
enemy plane as a cutting horse follows
a designated steer, and when it is close
enough it automatically starts shooting
It Fits the Headlines
The newspapers in Montgomery, Ala-
bama, handed down a decree to their
desk men the other day that is going to
impose a heavy burden on them. The de-
cree: The name of Dwight D. Eisenhow-
er must never be abbreviated to “Ike”
in any headline appearing in those pa-
pers.
The managing editor decided that
“Ike” was lacking in dignity, and that
its use in referring to such an exalted
personage as the President of the Unit-
ed States was unjustified and would be
abolished insofar as the papers under
his direction were concerned.
Well, many men, many minds. We
doubt seriously if the object of this par-
ticular piece of solicitude objects to be-
ing called Ike, even in a headline, and
even after being elevated to the highest
elective office on earth. Ike is a good
nickname, and its wearer has never
shown the slightest sign of being dis-
combobulated by its use.
Part of the magic of “Ike” is that it
fits easily into any headline, and taking
the privilege away from headline writers
seems to us cruel and unusual punish-
men, and therefore unconstitutional.
The Chicago Daily News is rated a
very good newspaper, and a great ad-
mirer of the President. One day this
week we saw the name “Ike” in three
different headlines on its front page, in
type ranging from 18 point to 72 point or
better. We didn’t bother to check to see
how many times the abbreviation was
used on the inside pages.
The use of nicknames has been com -
mon for many generations. “Good Queen
Bess” was among them, and they called
Napoleon everything from Bony to Nap.
Lincoln was hardly anything else to
his generation and to subsequent gene-
rations than Abe, or Old Abe, or Honest
Abe
Blaming the constant use of nicknames
An headline writers could hardly be
made to stand up, for in Good Queen
Bess’ time there were no headline writ-
ers. and precious few in Eony’s time.
Of course, it gets a little monotonous
and we wouldn’t advocate the us of Ike
in headlines as an invariable custom, but
whenever it is needed to make a head-
line make sense, we’re all for it

Skin Deep
Budget Cuts Must Be Small
By Joseph and Stewart Alsop
WASHINGTON — The word is
going out from the White House
that the most significant passage
in President Eisenhower’s message
on the Stole of the Union was the
warning against any reduction in
tax revenue at this time. The
President was not just reproving
the House Ways and Means Com-
mittee for its impuslive move to
cut personal income taxes. He may
even be forced to ask for tempor-
ary renewal of the cumbersome,
unjust, and widely detested ex-
cess profits tax.
Whatever decision is finally
taken, the re-thinking of tax policy
that is now in process is the most
significant event of the Eisenhow-
er administration to date. It means
that President Elsenhower and his
advisers are really getting to grips
with the gigantic and intractable
problems that confront them.
What haa happened is fairly
simple. Perhaps because It Is al-
ways easy 14 be persuaded by
one’s own campaign oratory, the
new Administration at first really
believed that any one who was
willing to “cut out waste" could
balance the budget and reduce
taxes. Simply by "cutting out
waste,” the *10 billion deficit in
President Truman's farewell bud-
get was to be made to vanish.
And at least enough slack was to
be gained to permit the abolition
of the hated excess profits tax
Dreary Answer
The able end hard-working new
Budget Director Joseph Dodge
was the first of the Eisenhower
appointee# to come to Washington
to learn the rupee. It waa Dodge
who had to answer the question,
bow much really could be saved
by "cutting out waste.” The dreary
answer has been found to come in
self damaged by news reports or other ma-
terial printed la another country's newspapers
can ask the second nation to distribute "cor-
rections” to the general press _
la other words, if the U. 8. papers printed
something France didn’t like, or regarded as
an injury, then at French request the U. S.
government would band out a corrective state-
ment to salve wounded French feelings
The United States very sensibly voted against
this proposal, and fortunately there is virtually
no chance the U. S Senate will now ratify it
For it would mean any paper could not print
what It might regard as the truth sbout an-
other country without being practically com-
pelled. by the nature of Its government origin,
to give space to an answering statement which
could well he nothing but deceiving propaganda
The mere printing of the reply would appear
to suggest that the original story was erroneous,
an implication that often would be wholly mis-
leading This hardly sounds like the way to prop
mote the quest of truth to Journalism

three parts.
First, about $1 billion can prob-
ably ba saved by economies in the
normal government outlays. And
it will be politically very painful
to save even one billion in the
small but sensitive civil lector of
the budget.
Second, perhaps as much as $1.5
billion can be lopped off President
Truman’s request of $7.5 billion
for foreign aid. The final decision
on foreign aid requests will await
the return from Europe of Seere-
tary of State John Foster Dulles
GRIN AND BEAB IT
and Mutual Security Director Har-
old Stassen.
• Yet the fact remains that deep
cuts in the foreign aid program
will undermine the great structure
of the NATO defense, of which
President Eisenhower himself laid
the foundations. Furthermore, ac-
tual increases of some types of for-
eign sid are almost certainly un-
avoidable — for larger aid to
Chiang Kai-shek: for a bolder pro-
gram in Indo-China; and quite
possibly for a greater effort to
solve the menacing problem of the
Middle East
Largest Item
Third, and finally, there is the
largest single item in the Truman -
budget — $45 billion for defense
—which must clearly be cut more
heavily than anything else if the
budget is to be balanced.
Certain defense economies are
already being considered. A
change in the Air Force policy of
buying and using airplane spare
parts can save hundreds of mil-
lions The Army has hurriedly or-
dered several hundred million dol-
lars worth of its Nike guided mis-
sile, and this order may be re-
vised. There are other potential
spot savings.
But President Eisenhower, De-
fense Secretary Charlee E. Wilson
and Budget Director Dodge hsve
already recognized that even the
spot savings must he carefully
studied and weighed, while really
significant defense economies may
take a very long time indeed. A
directive has, in fact, gone out
from the White House, slacing the
defense budget to a completely dif-
ferent category from the other de-
partmental budgeta.
Under the terms of this direc-
tive other deportment chiefs are
to take no responsibility whatever
for President Truman’s budget re-
quests. But the Defense Depart-
ment chiefs are to assume that
there to a "strong prims facie
case” for the defense appropria-
tions already requested. They are
to ssk Congress to vote the defense
appropriations in full, with the
proviso that money found to be
superfluous will not be spent.
Trimmed a Bit
There are three reasons for thla
directive. President Truman
cheated a Mt on his defense esti-
mates. The sum needed for defense
to nearer $47 billion than the $45
billion that Truman asked for. Then
too, President Elsenhower mesne
to arm the South Koreans on a
much larger scale, and to seek a
way out of the Korean impasse.
These efforts trill also cost great
sums. And finally, there are cer-
tain vital but neglected programs,
such as the sir defense program,
which must be expensively
stepped up if we are not to commit
national suicide.
Nothing could be more repellent
than these facts. Yet remember
the last time facts were not faced.
Secretary of Defense Lewis A.
Johnson cut less than a third, that
time, off James E. Forrestal's
planned 1949 defense budget of $18
billion. The direct result, s year
and a half later, was the Korean
War and a defense budget of $45
billion. Fortunately Prealdant Ei
senhower to not the man to re-
tuse to face facta, and to perpetu-
ate public fraud. And that to why
the country will be the gainer in
the long run, even if all the fond
campaign - time bopea for lower
taxes and cheaper government are
not immediately realised. —(New

By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY
The Eisenhower-Dulles foreign
policy la a reversal of the Marsh-
all - Acheson policy pursued by
President Truman and the Roose
velt-Hopkins policy pursued by
President Roosevelt.
When Roosevelt came into the
Presidency, he tended to be iso-
lationist to the sense that the Unit-
ed States stood alone, judging the
conduct of the Europeans and Asi-
atics and adopting attitudes inde-
pendently. The object was to avoid
entanglements. Thla policy was
pursued from the London Econom-
ic Conference (1933) to the Quar-
antine Speech (1937).
In the Quarantine Speech, Roose-
velt denounced the wicked, mean-
ing Japan and Italy, and set up
moral standards which he hoped
all would adhere to. From then on,
the United States was deeply in-
valved in European affairs. Am-
bassador Bullitt in November, 1937
visited Poland and Germany to test
the possibilities of peace. British
policy was fluid, hopeful that a
way could be found to placate Hit-
ler. The way turned out to be the
Austrian anschluss and Munich.
It la now known that on the eve
of Munich, the principal military
and political leaders, led by Gen-
eral Ludwig Von Beck, Chief of
Staff, were engaged in a heavy
plot to let rid of Hitler. Hitler
was saved by British appeasement,
a policy in which Chamberlain was
supported by Roosevelt
Did Not Know It
The American people did not
know that Roosevelt was involved
in the pre-Munich negotiations. We
do not yet know whether Roose-
velt wss informed of the Molotov-
Ribbentrop negotiations which pro-
duced the Stalin-Hitler alliance.
But it is clear from the evidence
now available that Russia waa in-
stigating a war between the United
States and Japan, utilizing pro-
Communist forces within the Unit-
ed States to stimulate a violent
anti-Japanese public opinion.
From this time on, Roosevelt
developed a role for the United
States as the moral arbiter among
nations, thla country deciding
wMch nation la good or bad, with
which country “good nations” may
do business. Despite the Stalin-
Hitler alliance, of which he may
not have known, Roosevelt favored
Russia. This policy not only in-
volved us in war but ultimately
made the war our principal re-
sponsibility, no matter bow It start-
ed or why. The United States led
the world end paid the bills
The Marshall-Acheson policy was
theoretically designed to maintain
a peace that had been won after
World War II. It was known aa
early as Teheran (November. 1943)
that Stalin had adopted the air of
a conqueror, assuming the right te
dictate terms, and basing Ma as-
sumption on the Molotov-Ribben-
trop pact. In spite of that, at Yalta
and agein at Potsdam, Stalin was
permitted to take the initiative and
to continue to hold it until Eisen-
horror was elected President,
The Marshall-Acheson policy was
given the formal name of a “con-
tainment policy,” which was Incor-
rect, because Russia was permit-
ted to conquer the whole of China
during this period. In fact, as Pres-
ident Eisenhower said M dramati-
tally, even the Seventh Fleet was
used to protect Communist China.
Confused World
The entire China policy was
based upon a plan to co-ordinate
American with British policy, with
Great Britain taking the lead, Aa
the British had recognised Soviet
China with unseemly speed, our
State Department did not know
which way to go and therefore the
American policy with regard to
China was snarled beyond solu-
tion. Its contradictoins confused
the world.
The Eisenhower - Dulles policy
discards both the Roosevelt-Hop-
kins policy and the Marshall-Ache-
son policy. The repudiation was
stated by Eisenhower as follows:
“.. We shall never acquiesce to
the enslavement of any people in
order to purchase fancied gain for
ourselves. I shall ask the Con-
gress at a later date to join to
an appropriate resolution making
clear that this government recog-
nises no kind of commitment con-
tained in secret understandings of
the past with foreign governments
which permit this kind of enslave-
ment."
This la a new policy. It repudi-
ates the past even to the extent
of the non-recognition of secret
agreements improperly made. It
offers to captive nations of Eu-
rope and Asia the hope that move-
ments for freedom will bo recog-
nixed and even supported. It sett-
es the initiative in the east of Asia
and notifies those who advocate
neutralism that their attlude will
be resented. The new policy leaves
no loopholes, for those who are
doubtful whether they are for us
now know that we regard thorn so
against us.
It is a wholesome policy that
will clear the air of uncertainty.

I figure it, the State Department’s

The important stuff’s always get-

Haphazard, I guess, is the word

man her parents don’t think is
"good enough" for her.
Though he has a small business
of his own and is making a go of
it, her parents have turned thumbs
down on him as a suitable hue-
band for their daughter because
he has only s high school educa-
tion and his family doesn’t stand
as high as hers does socially.
She wants to know what she
ought to do, break her engage-
ment or break her parents' hearts.
If, at 26, she is still ss much
under the thumb of her parents

that question and Is silly enough
fo believe she will really break
her parents' hearts by marrying a

If she is that immature she la

But if she can see her parents’

She herself keeps under lock —
