The Washington Notebook
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.— (NEA) —General Dwight D,
Eisenhower’s Fourth of July speech before the Eng
lish Speaking Unicn in London is being studied
closely in Washington as a declaration of his polit
ical principles, If the Republican Party takes Eisen
hower as its Presidential candidate in 1952, it will
have to take the general’s ideas along with the man.
For unless the general has a complete change of
character from a political bug bite, he will not sur
render his principles just for the sake of being
sgreeable to the ultra-reactionary Republican hier
archy.
General Eisenhower’'s speech in London was a
elear-cut and forceful declaration in favor of inter
national cooperation. The main theme was the need
for unification of Europe. This is, of course, not an
American political problem. It's up to the Euro
peans.
But in the course of his remarks, General Eisen~
hower emphasized that this is also an American
and a British problem.
“Could we not-help?” he asked. “We, the peoples
of the British Commonwealth and of the United
States have profited by unity at home. If, with our
moral and material assistance, the free European
nations could attain a similar integration, our
friends would be strengthened, our own economics
would be improved, and the laborious North At
lantic Treaty machinery of mutual assistance vastly
simmplified.”
As for America’s contribution to this effort, Gen
eral Eisenhower defined it simply, “We must de
velop promptly the American force that will assure
the safety of our friends upon the continent and
the security of the free world,” he said.
MEET THE CHALLENGE
“This is the challenge of our times,” he contin
ued, “~—~that until satisfactorily met, establishes
priorities in all our thoughts, our work, our sacri=
fices, The hand of the aggressor is stayed by
strength—and by strength alone.”
Now this is a doctrine of internationalism. It is
far removed from the traditional Republican brand
of isolationism. The people who advocate that Am
erica should “go it alone,” those who believe that
American foreign aid programs should be drasti-*
cally cut, and those who even believe that the Anr
erican defense mobilization should be slowed down
will find little comfort in General Eisenhower's
views.
The general paid his respects to this type of
thinking in no uncertain terms.
“The project (of achieving European unity) faces
the deadly danger of procrastination, timid meas
ures, slow steps and cautious stages,” he declared.
#“Granted that the bars of tradition and habit are
numerous and stout, the greatest bars to this, as in
any human enterprise, lie in the minds of men
themselves.”
Incidentally, notice that in this and the other
quotations from the general’s remarks, he packs a
terrific wallop in his use of the English language.
Get a load of what comes next:
“The negative is always the easy side, since it
holds that nothing should be done, The negative is
happy in lethargy, contemplating almost with com
placent satisfaction the difficulty of the other
course,”
These are memory gems for Republicans to paste
in their political campaign hats. For the doctrines
which the Republican majority leaders have been
espousing since the end of the war have been
largely negative, :
Senators Taft, Wherry, Bricker, Dirksen, Kem,
Cain and others have been the voices of pessimism
in foreign policy. Nothing is right. Everything has
been wrong.
VERY OPTIMISTIC
By contrast, General Eisenhower radiates opti
mism. “The accomplishments of NATO are magnifi
cently nranifest,” he told his London audience. ...
“Caution that is inescapable in a new and unique
enterprise has been replaced by ccnfidence born out
of obstacles overcome. . . . But if we march together,
endlre together, share together, we shall succeed—
we shall gloriously succeed together.”
" There is a lift in this kind of talk. It is in marked
contrast to the down-turned mouthings of the
prophets of gloom. It is good political campaign
strategy.
This difference points up to the major issue which
the Republican convention delegates have to decide
in the next 11 months. Are they going to take a
Taft foreign policy? Or will they taken an Eisen
hower foreign policy?
He (President Truman) i 8 running now against
“Mr. Perfection.” Just wait until the Republicans
pominate a man and the two can be compared.—
Oscar R. Ewing, Federal Security Administrator.
By their own militant actions, the Republican
leaders have stamped the war label on themselves.
By their own war cries, they have branded their
party the war party.—Senator Robert S. Kerr (D.-
Oklahoma).
Polish Resistance Gives Cue
To Anti-Reds In Satellites
Often you hear it said that Russia does not want
a big war now because she fears that her satellites
would prove unworthy in battle.
All reports from the satellites indicate that the
Russians are not loved by the peoples of Poland,
Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.
But there are wide differences among therr in their
will and their ability to combat their masters in
Moscow.
The resistance movement in Poland is generally
viewed as the sfrongest and most active. Indeed, the
conduct of the Polish underground is an example
to men of the resistance in other lands, and to all
free peoples, if reports are true.
The Poles have a real resistance army, organized
in secret cadres, it is said. They have stores of arms
cached away. They are prepared for sabotage on an
extensive scale. Taken together, these factors make
them a genuinely dangerous threat to the Krem
lin’s control of Poland. iy
The regular Polish army, under command of
Russian General Rokossovsky, is shot threugh with
resistance members and sympathizers, it is claimed.
As presently constituted, it can only be a huge ques
tion mark in Stalin’s strategy for the conquest of
Western Europe,
The Polish peasants raised such-a furore about
certain restrictive, collectivizing proposals affecting
their farms that the Kremlin’s puppet government
had to back down. In fact, the measures were so
unpopular Moscow felt it necessary to liquidate the
officials publicly labeled as responsible for them.
Yet with all this acknowledged strength, the
Polish underground is playing an extremely cau
tious hand. The army trains, but it does not act.
The arms are kept hidden. Factory slow-downs and
incidents of sabotage do occur, but on a limited
scale.
The mood is one of watchful waiting. The men of
the underground, remembering Poland’s costly pre--
mature uprising against the Nazis in World War 11,
are determined not to repeat that mistake. They do
not intend to strike full force until they are con
vinced their moment of liberation has come.
When will that be? The Poles have no idea, But
they are prepared to wait a long time, They are a
people whose history is darkened by centuries of
oppression. They are accustomed to it, but they
never accept it.
The Poles are not telling the West: “Liberate us
now or our resistance will collapse. We cannot be
expected to risk our lives indefinitely for a free
dom that may never come.”
They are not built that way. An unquenchable
flame of independence burns in thenr, and no op
pressor, however cruel, can snuff it out. Nor will
the oppressor ever be made to feel at home in
Poland.
It it is true the Russians are worried over the
loyalty of their satellies in war, they must be trou
bled most of all by the fierce courage and the in
finite patience of their tireless enemies, the Poles.
Uncle Sam In There Pitching
cle Sam In There Pitch
It is a safe bet that almost from the moment Wil-
Wiam Oatis, A. P. correspondent in Prague, was
arrested by Czech police, the United States gov
ernment has been working to secure his freedom.
The government never relaxed at any time its
efforts to win the release of Robert Vogeler from
his Hungarian prison, and they were finally fruit
ful. We must hope that once again careful planning
and shrewd dealing will restore an innocent Amer
ican to the normal life of the free world he knew.
Meantime, when you read of a senator or some
body else shouting that nothing is being done and
that we ought to send the Marines after Oatis, take
the charitable view. Just assume the gentleman
does not understand how these.things are accom
plished.
nS s s
miling Bob” Taft
Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio has already start
ed to wear his presidential candidate’s smilg, and
apparently wants to be known as “Smiling Bob.”
He has confided to a number of people that he has
definitely decided to run for the Republican nomi
nation next year, and he is doing everything in his
power to further that ambition.
He has admitted that his greatest rival is Gen
eral Dwight D. Eisenhower. Analyzing Ike's great
popularity, Senator Taft has decided that the se
cret lies in the general’s warm personality and in
fectious smile. It wins people over from the very
minute that he stands up, or steps on a platform to
speak. Senator Taft has never been able to work
like that.
But he is now taking steps to overcome the han
dicap. He is doing everything he can to make him
self more likeable, He has even gone to the extent
of stretching his mouth wider so that his smile will
be more winning. And he is training himself to
open his mouth to smile the moment he stands up
to speak.
To be an actress you have to think like a man,
have the viewpoint of a man and the independence
of a man. It's hard for a guy to put up with that.
~Joan Blondell, movie actress.
One of the great ideals of our western civiliza
tion . . . is the conviction that by our human will
and actions we can remake the sum of things close
to the image of God.—Charles P. Taft, city council
man of Cincinnati.

REDS SET BACK IN WEST,
BUT GAIN IN MIDDLE EAST
By LEON DENNEN
NEA Staff Correspondent ‘
MILAN, ITALY—The Comin-{
form suffered a setback in Wes
tern Europe but is gaining strength
in the Middle East, according to
delegates to the Second -~World
Congress of the International Con
{ederation of Trade Unions in Mi
an.
The Anglo-Iraian oil erisis has
played into Soviet hands in the oil
regions of Iraq and in such under
developed Moslem countries as
Syria, Egypt, Algeria and Tunisia,
which are likely to be used as
stratagic air and naval bases by
the NATO countries.
Despite the somewhat relaxed
East-West hostilities in Korea,
there has been no let-up in Soviet
activity in the Middle East, the
ICFTU delegates report. Working
in close alliance with such fascist
and extremely pronationlist or
ganizations as the Moslem“%:-
erhood in Egypt and the Neo-Des
tourien Party in Tunisia, Moscow’s
agents have succeeded in infiltrat
ing Arab areas previously
barred to them. :
With Britain about to become
embroiled in another dispute in
the Middle East—this time with
Egypt over the Suez Canal—the
consensus here is that the East
ern Meéditerranean may soon be
the next theatre of Moscow’s “li
mited wars.”
Will pro-Russian and statellite
forces strike next in the Middle
East or against Yugoslavia and
Greece? In the view of some Rus
sian experts here, Greece and
Yugoslavia are next on Moscow's
timetable of aggression. They do
not even exclude an attack against
these two countries some time
' within the next 12 months—as
isoon as Russia’s statellits have
somewhat revcovered economical
ly from the Korean War.
The East-West negotiations in
Korea are viewed with little op
timism by the ICFTU delegates.
Yugoslavia’s neighbors— Rumania,
Hungary, Bulgaria and Albania
'-——are known to be arming to the
teeth. The arrival of Russian
troops in these countries (future
“yolunteers?”) is reported daily.
At the same time, the Greek de
legates claim to have seen docu
ments recently issued by the Com
inform ordering the Greek Com
munist guerrilla leaders’ ‘too re
sume action inside Greece.” The
Central Committee of the Greek
Communist Party, which is now
in Bulgaria, issued the orders.

' The Kremlin is not likely to be
tender about Greek rebel lives
in an effort to destroy the sizable
network of airfields now being
constructed on Greece's main
land and islands ® for potential
war-time use by American bomb

These as well as other Soviet
moves in the Eastern Mediter
ranean lend added significance to
Albania’s latest notes to Yugo
slavia, Greece and Italy protest
ing against alleged frontier vio
lations. Albania has long been
regarded as the jumping-off
ground for Soviet-inspired at
tack against Yugoslavia and
Greece.
Meanwhile, there is no longer
any doubt that, following the elec
tions in France and Italy, the Com
munsts suffered a slight setback
in Western Europe. The Commun
ist Party of France is even re
