U. 5. Foreign Policy

United States foreign policy has ‘ been summed up—we think aptly— ' g by Senator Theodore Francis Green, 91-year old Democrat from Rhode, ‘, Island and Chairman of the Senate Foreign'Relations Committee. At I political rally in behalf of a De- mocratic candidate for the House , of Representatives, Senator Green 3 said that the administration “is

trying to muddle along with a pol- " icy that seeks to please everybody, .l pleases nobody and ends by accom- ‘ ‘ plishing nothing.”

In discussing the Formosa ques- tion in particular, Mr. Green said that “we were moved first by anx- iety to avoid trouble with the Com- munists and then by anxiety to avoid offending General Chiang Kai~shek.” He went on to say that the President and Secretary Dulles had “lacked the courage” to say

. L ‘ 5 that the United Nations should be

brought into the situation and charged them with “a dangerous tendency to go it alone and appeas- ing both the isolationists and those who want to break the Grand Alliance with Great Britain 'and France.” In the Middle East the administration had “given way to both the friends and the enemies of Arab nationalism and ended by offending both.”

Senator Green approved the suggestion that the United Na- tions conduct a plebiscite on Quemoy and Matsu “to discover whether the Islanders preferred to belong to the Chinese mainland, to Formosa, or ‘ be neutralized under a UN. ad- ministration.” This proposal ap- pears to be so fair and reasonable

“ that it is difficult to see how any?

> one could oppose it; but Chiang LKai-shek has opposed it on the ground that‘people on the mainland have no way of making known their political preferences. But, surely, if he is right in his contention that the , Islanders are happy under Formos- 1 i an rule, his cause would be streng- thened rather than weakened by an expression of the public will. The fact that he is opposed to a plebis- cite under U.N. direction. would al- ' most seem to indicate that he is not quite sure just what the inhab- Itants of the islands would do if given the chance to chose for themselves. .

Potato Values Boosted.

Two articles underlining the value of the potato industry ap- pear in the current issue of The At- lantic Advocate, which it is to be hoped will be widely read and as- similated. In one of these articles Dr. James Hasson, a distinguished physician of Harley Street, London, points out that it was not only economics that made the Irish eat potatoes, but also sound common sense. For people between forty and sixty-five, and troubled by excess L Weight, he uncompromisingly pres- ‘1; cribes a potato dietQ “Fashionable patients expect, and sometimes even demand, complicated and expensive treatments,” says Dr. Hasson; “and I can see doubt in their eyes, when. I tell them that a simple diet of potatoes will put them right. But, when I insist, they follow the regi- men I lay down for them, and are 1‘ surprised at its success. What is the regimen? A potato diet! Boiled p0- tatoes or potatoes baked in their skins with butter, black pepper, salt and a few drops of lemon juice.”

“Potatoes,” he explains, “have the H same quality in the stomach as they have in over—salted sauce—they absorb acidity. And one of the great-

5' est dangers of continued indulgence '

in rich foods and alcohol is that the acids of the body, and particularly :_ uric acid, become too plentiful for l the organs to eliminate. A potato , diet will rid the body of them and . t‘ add years to one’s life.” It is to be hoped the potato industry will take ' full advantage of this expert re- commendation and see that it. is 33“, given the widest publicity.

' ii In the other article referred to, , ,l the growing importance of the po- ' ‘1 tato chip industry is emphasized. It cites the Dominion Bureau of Stat-

, signed an agreement

Istlcs as stating that 22.000000 pounds of potato chips were manu- factured in Canada last year. This production had an estimated retail Value of $20 million. The industry processed approximately 95 million pounds of Canadian potatoes. It takes a hundred pounds of potatoes to make twenty-two pounds of chips. This year residents of these Atlan- tic Provinces will eat the equivalent of more than 68 million five-cent packages of potato chips, most of them originating in one of the Mari- times’ own chip plants, located in six towns in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. Canadian chip manufacturers pre— dict that within five years the average annual per capita consump- tion will double—hitting the four pound mark, or the equivalent of about 85 five-cent packages.

Here, as in other phases of the potato industry, quality is import- ant. Chips that are light in color and pleasant to taste can be produc- ed only from potatoes that are high in solid content and low in reducing sugars and moisture. One big prob- lem that chippers and potato grow- ers have to solve is that the var- ieties grown and the subsequent transportation and storage of table stock normally produce potatoes that won’t chip. Potatoes stored for even short periods at temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the temperature at which tubers slated for table use are us- ually stored, make dark-colored chips with a burnt taste.

This industry has come a long way since the first potato chips were cooked at Saratoga Springs, New York, in 1853. The future looks bright, and it is one in which the Maritimes should find an increas- ingly profitable outlet for a major farm product. 1

EDITORIAL NOTES

Yugoslavia and Indonesia have “to develop more intensified economic co-oper- ation”. Well, if Indonesia is destined to go Communist, as is generally be- lieved, no doubt Westerners would like her to adopt the Yugoslavian

‘ type rather than the Russian type.

In a recent speech President Eisenhower said that one Demo- cratic member of Congress intro— duced a bill to qualify everybody in the United States for a thousand- dollar loan from the Government. He thought that this was despic— able. Chances ‘are, though, that many in his audience would call it a very good idea. ‘

I have therefore decid- ed to step aside”. This was a diplo- matic and over-polite way of saying that he was resigning before Ayub took it into his head to push him out. '

The subject of today’s congres- sional elections in the United States is reviewed in an article on this page by Mr. Heath Macquarrie, M.P., who has had first-hand oppor- tunity of viewing the campaign and sizing up the prospects. A keen stu- dent of politics in both countries, Mr. Macquarrie is always interest- ing and his article on this occasion is particularly timely. He shares, it will" be noted, the general View that. the Republican chances are any- thing but hopeful.

It has been suggested that the whole problem of disarmament be made the responsibility of the small nations in the UN. The plan would be for a committee representing the

small nations to draw up a program

and present it to the big powers for implementation. There may be some merit in this..Indeed, it might not be a bad idea to let the smaller na- tions take over responsibility for all international problems. They cer- tainly could not do any worse than the big powers have done; and they might do a little better.

Down The Home Stretch

By Heath Macquarrie, M.P.

In the present political calm— palgn President Eisenhower has played a new and tor him an unusual role. Ever since he as- sumed office he sought to give the presidency a positon above the hurlyaburly of partisan poli- tics. He came to the White House without a political background, and this lack was pointed to by his followers as an‘ important qualificaton'for office.

In the years since then Pres— ident Eisenhowar has at times appeared to function somewhat as

—~as the unisulllied and lmpantiiial head of the nation. Those closest to the President allfinm that he prefers this role and has a dis- taste for the rough and tumble of partisan politics to which he had never become accustomed.

But while the occupant of, the White House is the Head of Sbabeheiealsobheleadorofa national! party and Mr. Eisenhow- er has now‘ overcome his form- er reluctance to adopt this role. In the present election campaign he has entered the lists as a partisan fighter for the Repub- lican cause and has gone into various pacts of the country to attack the Democrats and laud his own party. "

However, there is no wide- spread opinion that. he has been very successful as a fighter in these partisan forays.

A CHANGE OF MIND -

In making his decision to plunge into the campaign the President obviously had a change of mind as well as heart. In coming to his present stand he revealed the degree to which he is influenced by ViceaPresident Nixon who has long been the chief political shock trooper of the Republican Party. It must have been a difificult decision for General Eisenhower to make for his presidential term continues until January 1961 and he will- therefore, in all likelihood. have to deal with a Democratic. Con- gress for another two years.

In taking such a strong par- tisan line he has not only passed over the cooperation which he has received from Democra— tic congressional leaders in the past but has risked the future of such cooperation.

In taking an active role in off» year election Eisenhower ca n point to many precedents. In 1946 President Truman worked very hard to defeat Republican candidates in congressional con— tests. He was. of counse. unsuc- cessful and the opposing party won a victory in both houses. There is every neason to believe

the current campaign will be sim~ ilarly iI‘ldfated. The Democrats al- ready have a majority in the House and in the Senate and all the pollsters predict a sub- stantial increase in their major- ritites in both chambers.

IN CALIFORNIA

The first display of the new Eisenhower technique was seen in California, the home state of Vice-President Nixon, which is now the second langest state in the Union in terms of population and representation in Congress. California is also the place where the Republicans are in their deep- est difficulties.

The President's party, once strongly entrenched in the big Pacific state, is now sorely be— set by internal quarrels. Sena- tor Lyndon Johnson. one of the Republican leaders in the Up- per House. resigned his Senate seat in order to run for Gover— nor. a position which he regards as a better stepping-stone to a presidential nomination. But. the present Governor Goodwin Knight wished to run for re-electlon and a fierce struggle rent the Re- publican party.

The upshot of the quarrel was a victory for Knmvland who is now on the gubernatorial ticket while Knight is running for Know- land‘s Senate seat. Had both men sought. re-election to their present post there would have been 3, good chance of both hem; gut-«I

ccssful. Now it is universally predicted that both will be de. feated and the Democrats make. sweeping gains in‘ congressional and state contest over their di- vided rivals. BITTER STRIFE

So bitter is the strife between the major Republican candidates that Knight has said he not vote for Knowland and Mrs. Knowland has publicly describ- ed Mr. Knight as being possessed of a macaroni spine. (Mr. Adlai Stevenson in criticizing the Pre— sident's California reference to

~the Democrats as dangerous ra-

dicals as beneath the dignity of the presidency, took a sly dig at the Republicans when he said, “the President has about as much chance of convincing the country that the Democrats are. dangerous as he does of persua- ding Knight to support Know- landl”)

IN NEW YORK STATE

One of the few bright spots for the Republicans is populous New York State where their candi- date. Nelson Rockefeller, is said to be running ahead of Govern- or Harriman in the allmillrion- aire contest {for the gubernatorial office. In the New York Senate race Democrat Hogan appears to be ahead of Republican Kenting.

Of course. the pollsters can be wrong. Both parties are putting up a strong light with highly onganined campaign-s backed by good brains and, much money. I‘! Hanriman's forces get out a big vote in the city of New York they might keep control of the governorshiip, but the Democrats suflfer from the results of the break in their ranks which fol- lowed their state convention where Hogan was chosen sena= Iorial candidate over the strong opposition of Governor l-Ianriman but at the behest of Tammany Hall boss Carmine de Sapio.

Then. too, Harriman is not a colorful figure and his really good administrative record has not been dramatized before the voters. Rockefeller's big weak- ness is the conservatism which is identified with the Republican party. In a state where labor is so strong Presidenh Eisenhower's talk of fumigalting unions is not. very popular. So it is not. sur~ prising that Rockefeller wishes to concentrate on state issues only while Han-imam tends to ask the voters to look at. the over— all records of the Democratic and Republican parties. PROFOUND EFFECT

If Harriman is defeated in New York and the Democrats win in California the efifecvt on the pre- sidential nominations of 1960 can- not. but be profound. The Gover— nor of the largest state is always a potential contender for national leadership and Nelson Rockefel- ler might have a very large fol- lowing in the GOP convention two years hence. An enosion of Californian strength would de- tract. from the power and pres- tige of Richard Nixon. now re- garded as the leading contender for the succession.

On the Democratic front, Har- riman’s defeat could strength— en Adlai Stevenson and if his party were strong in California this would help still further for Democratic leader! in the hi1 western state are. stout supporters of the brilliant and able Steven son.

But while the strategy of the next preSidential election is much in the thoughts of politicians the. job at hand was the fighting of the 1958 contest and this has been carried on with all the noise and excitement which marks the American process of electioneer. ing. Eisenhower, Nixon. Steven- son, Harry Truman. are among the big-name campaigners lead- ing the battle but there were hun- dreds of lesser lights fighting it out all over the nation, tin Maine. of course, the election was held in September and the Democrats of that. sea-board, state are basking in the glow of their unprecedented triumph ‘.

tor with the Democrats capital- izing on the economic discontent resultant from the recession through which the country has passed. Under the inapiration of Vice<PreSidenit Nixon, Who is ac- cused of having an instinct for the jugular. the Republicans hit. their opponent hard with charges of dangerous radicalism.

Quiz To Test Health Knowhow

By Herman N. Bundcsen. M.D.

I DEVOTED a column awhile back to a medical quiz. some of the answers of which i'm sure. surprised you.

Since then, I have received many letters asking that l have other question and answer qiuiz~ 295 every so often.

So here's another one. it was circulated a few years back by the health magazine Blue Print for Health.

CHECK AND COMPARE

Check your answers and then compare them with the correct answers given at the end of the them with the answers your yams son or daughter of school age will come up with. You might be greatly embarrassed.

1. Dating about 500 calories a day less than you spend will re- duce your. weight. each week a-

ty although current international events are scarcely such as, to encourage Republicans to inject foreign policy into the campaign. IN THICK 0F FRAY-

As usual exaPresident Truman was in the thick of the fray, his bounciness and pugnaci-ty undi~m~ inished despite his seventy-four years. Typical of Truman‘s folk- sy “Give ‘em He ” style was his remark at, a meeting the other day, stiller Eisenhower's Califor- nia speeches. The old warrior declared that he had scrupulous~ 1y avoided partisan discussions of foreign policy which might. make more duficult the Presi- dent‘s delicate task but after Eis- enower's west coast utterances he would have to unload on him. The hard—hitting attack which Truman made on the Republi- can handling of foreign“ ahfairs greatly pleased his audience.

Today the battle will be over and thenattion's politicians re- turn to a quieter tenor of life. In a country with such world- wide responsibilities as the Uni- ted States public office is not something to be taken lightly. Indeed it is a challenge to any man who seeks to act as the representative of his people. Thus below all the sin-face noise and fury there is a deep and ser- ious purpose and when the con— test is over one of the world‘s great functional democracies will have expressed itself on men and issues and the process of govern- ment. will go on in accordance with popular will.
