People vs. Professionals
Some of the longer-range, less obvious effects of
the New Hampshire primary are now taking shape.
“hey will detenuine how candidates and parties
will apply lessons the independent folk of that state
gave the professional politicians and the prognos
-1 cators of the press. The advance calculations of
the leaders in the Eisenhower, Taft, and Truman
canps were all alike upset.
‘The experts are still arguing cynically—and in
the face of history—that any President can renomi
-late himself. They contend New Hampshire can be
Lrushed off as “eyewash” at Blair House. But it is
cuite possible that Mr, Truman, who made the pro
{ossionals look bad in 1948 and who didn’t want to
cater in New Hampshire, has read the results dif
ferently.
These may not prove that the machine would be
vnable to deliver the nomination. But they hint
that Mr, Truman need feel no obligation to run be
cause his party has no one else so popular. And they
roore than hint that the nomination might not be
worth much. Both considerations may well
strengthen the President’s inclination to withdraw.
Ve should soon see signs of more intense efforts to
groom another candidate,
Before New Hampshire, the professionals in the
Eisenhower camp were sunk in gloom. They had
porsuaded themselves—or let the opposition’s “pig
in-a-poke” line persuade them—into believing that
the people did not know the general well enough.
“They had been telling the general—again contrary
to history-——that he could not be drafted, that he
must come home and kiss babies.
They sadly underestimrated the people's regard
for a man staying on his job. They misjudged the
bunger for new leadership, which Senator Kefau
ver has pointed up. They also underrated the gen
cral's appeal to conservative rural groups and to
simple people who are more interested — as any
wise employer would be—in a man’s basic charac
ter and record than in the detailed decisions he
may have to make. Some of them are unconvinced
still, but the urgent pressure for a return has been
removed.
The effect on Taft tactics is less visible. The
senator's followers were counting on a tight race,
Already they had prepared the argument that this
proved there was no great popular demand for
“ike.” Mr. Taft himself has a more basic plan—his
faith that he can by a hard-hitting campaign gal
vanize his party’s organization and pull out millions
ol non-voters, This is his answer to the claim that
Ilisenhower would win the independents and Dem~
‘@ats. He can point to results in 1950 in Ohio
which strongly s7pport his faith.
But New Hampshire doesn’t fit easily into this
picture. The senator had a pretty effective organ
ization, and he waged a vigorous campaign that
aroused real enthusiasm in his camp. Yet he lost.
Possibly the Taft plan needs more tinre tp orove
itself. His followers did {ind hope in the weak
showing of Mr. Truman. The professionals were
encouraged to feel they need not appeal to the inde
pondents and Democrats. But should the President
step out, the Taft tacticians would have to re
assess the prospect.—Christian Science Monitor,
Between now and 1962 the development of trans
sonic aircraft will provide greatcr imrpetus to the
Aarerican standard of living than did the introduc
tion of the mass-produced model T Ford.—Harold
Sweatt, presient of Minneapolis-Honeywell Regula
tor Company.

middle ground between a spendthrift left and a re
a-tionary right. We must stand for the good of all
the people all of the time. — Senator Fred Seaton

Democracy Gets Poor Display
In French Political Showcase
Once again the French have a new government.
But there is nothing in the manner of its creation
which holds out hope it will be any more secure
than the many other short-lived governments that
have preceded it.
Antoine Pinay, a newcomer to the premiership,
won a vote of confidence for his new cabinet in the
French national assembly. But though his margin
was 290 to 101, more than a third-of the assembly
members abstained from voting.
To get even the support he has, Pinay had tc
promise not to levy additional t tes on the French
to help France contribute its quota of men and
arms to General Eisenhower’s European defense
force. :
The diétaste of the French for the sacrifices in
volved in augmenting their security — and the
West's—is well known. The events surrounding
Pinay’s coming to power indicate that it is almost
impossible politically to enlist full French backing
behind the rearmament effort.
The development sadly underlines the evidence
that France is more concerned with a head-in-the
sand effort to lead a fulsome domestic existence
than it is with the realities of FEuropean life in
1952. Most of the French cabinets have fallen over
relatively minor domestic issues.
No one can guess how long France can go on in
this way and still retain the respect of fellow na
tions among the Western group. As it stands now,
France has the capacity to lend major power sup
port to the vital campaign to combat communisnr;
but it is behaving like a small power and giving
tow little of its potential weight to the cause.
It seems safe to say that the West will not watch
this performance complacently forever and ever.
Continuance of French reluctance to carry a fair
share of the load can only diminish the strength of
France's voice of the West. Contempt will grow
for a nation that talks like a great power but sel
dom acts like one.
Furthermore, if governments continue to topple
in Paris as requently as in recent months, there will
be resentment against the French on another sgore.
Democracy cannot impress non-democrats in this
world if it does not offer stability and constructive
solutions to great problems,
France today is a very poor showcase for dem
ocracy. The multiplicity of parties and their un
patriotic insistence on having their way regardless
of the effect on the nation’s government combine to
produce a travesty on the democratic ideal. Several
times France has been left virtuallygrudderless at
eritical moments in postwar history. y
The French have a great zest for life. They love
the freedomr of expressing themselves, and that
privilege is an inherent part of the democratic way.
But democracy is more than just a vehicle for free
expansion of opinion, It is @ method of governing.
There is no sign that the French understand this,
or how poor an advertisement their splintered, un
stable party system is for democracy in the lands
that do not have it. Hitler grew strong in Germany
on the frustrations of a people dismayed at the fee
bleness of their democratic government—a govern
ment which followed the French pattern.
Maybe it's too bad we don’t have a world in
which people like the French can just be them
selves without thought of serious responsibility.
But we don’'t. And the French nray not be able in
definitely to enjoy their prized pleasures if they do
not come to grips with reality and the need for
sober attention to unpleasant duty.
Arab-Israel Feud Has Peace
Prospects
Outlook for peace between Israel ‘and the Arab
states is believed to be looking up. Half a dozen
statements on the need for settlement of this five
year-old issue have been made in Egypt in the past
month. There has been no opposition from Wafdist
extremists. There has been no denial from govern
ment spokesmen for King Farouk.
Washington diplomats have noted these develop
ments: Mohammed Zafrullah Khan, foreign minis
ter of Pakistan, has advocated peace settlement in
statements at Cairo, Baghdad and Karachi. He has
declared Arab states must now recognize that Isreal
is “a limb in the body of the Middle East.”
Ali Maher Pasha, recently Prime Minister of
Egypt, declared the decision to make peace with
Israel must be agreed to by all Arab states. Subject
was to be discussed at the Arab League Council
meeting in Cairo this month,
Arab newspapers have been talking up peace
prospects, Apparent purpose is to preparé public
oinion for, settlement talks.
Egypt's need for settlement was emphasized by
recent troubles with the British in the Suez Canal
area. Half of the Egyptian forces were tied down to
Israel border areas. As prospects for a Middle East
command increases, desire to continue Israel war
decreases,
The outlook of saving that part of the world is
not optimistic, but if at all, it will largely be be
cause of Nehru, who comes close to being the first
indispensable man of our time. — Ralph MecGill,
Editor of the Atlanta Constitution, on Premier
Pandit Nehru of India.
I wish the United States and Canada have the
feeling that we here are determined and able to put
our house in order.—British Prime Minister Wins
ton Churchill,
The people 1 know (who are veterans) have moé
been indoctrinated with any strong desire for mille
tary dictatorship. — Senator Richard Russell, on
Universal Military Training,
