Reassurance for West Is Lesson for McCarthy It is the privilege of every senator and congressmen, indeed of every citized, to have an express views on this country's foreign policy. Yet no one speaking merely for himself or for a political minority may rightfully expect to have a controlling voice over foreign or any other kind of policy.

Under the American Constitution, policy is made by the majority in Congress and by the President. In the foreign field, the Constitution clearly conveys to the President wide discretionary latitude in the making of policy. Evidently President Eisenhower felt that senator McCarthy, in his recent television remarks on foreign policy, had gone beyond the mere expression of opinion and had tried to force the President's hand in foreign affairs. Mr. Eisenhower approved a statment by Secretary of State Dulles in which the secretary declared that McCarthy's Criticisms of Nov.

24 struck at the "very heart of United States foreign This is important to note here that neither the President nor Dulles could have had references solely to their own views of what constitutes American foreign policy. Since they employed no qualifying language, they could only have meant, it would seem, the established, settled policy of this nation. And that means the policy endorsed by both the White House and a majority in Congress. That policy, underwritten many times since 1954 by the votes of Republicans and Democrats alike, embraces foreign economic and military aid to friendly countries, the NATO system of a network of vital air bases strung strategically across soil, all with the aim of presenting a strong and united free world front against the menace of Russian communism. The President and his Secretary of State believe McCarthy sought to undercut that program by suggesting that we tell our allies they will get "not one cent of American money" unless they stop all trade with Red China.

The senator implied we spoke too kindly to our friends, and asked whether the Eisenhower administration was "going to continue to send perfumed notes (to our allies), following the style of the Truman-Acheson regime?" To this the President bluntly replied we would continue our aid so long as "our enlightened self-interest" requires it, even though we may often differ with the nations getting the aid. Ho saw it as a "life and death matter" for America. Said Dulles: "Never in all our history Being born again, not of corruption seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God. which livelh and abldcth for Peter 1:23. And there, in Abraham's bosom, whatever it be which that bosom signifies, lives my sweet friend For what other place is there for such a Augustine.

wu a whm good and allies rrieant so much to us." But helping them, he added, does not give us the right to dictate to them as if they were vassals. They are dependable as friends, said the secretary, "just because they are unwilling to be anybody's satellites." The President underscored this by saying that "the easiest thing to do with great power (such as America enjoys) is to abuse it." If we turn to coercion, he said, we would be stamped as an imperialist country rather than a true world leader. These forthright declarations offer reassurance to our friends of the generous impulses underlaying American policy. At the same time, they stand as an historic reminder to Senator McCarthy as to how policy is made and where the governing power really lies in the United States. We Might Just as Well Be Realistic About This! Views of Others Remedy for 'McCarthyism.

There is need, great need, of a saner, wiser voice in the United States Congress than Joseph R. McCarthy's to speak the people's concern over such things as our allies trading with Communism. And to lead intelligent, not berserk action. Without doubt, many Americans agree with McCarthy that we should quit aiding nations which continue to sell to the Reds military useful supplies. This doesn't mean only shooting irons and tools to make them.

Such trade has been pretty well checked since the U. early in 1051, at our urgent request, called on its members to embargo all strategic supplies to Red China. But the spirit of that resolution was violated by persistence In selling the Russian bloc large amounts of materials useful in building war strength. This was brought out, with details, in a well documented report of McCarthy's Senate probing group last July. It said this trade was increasing with Red China.

Some angles of the report have been substantiated by Britain's own trade she insists that the exports were "non-strategic." The trade has been condemned by some of our Southern congressmen. It has helped much to sour a lot of Americans on our foreign aid program. So when Secretary of State Dulles, backed by the President, lashed out at McCarthy for his stand on this matter, he picked a shaky reason for giving the Wisconsin solon a deserved rebuke. And the timing for such a blast was bad. The U.

N. was about ready to vole Its "grave concern" over Red torturing and murdering in Korea of thousands of captives. Congress was to hear the horrible accounts of atrocity survivors. Americans were in no mood to look kindly on our "friends" trading with the Reds. The one way to deflate "McCarthyism" is for Congress to give the people what they wise, deeply patriotic voice for their anidety over Communism and its leadership to inspire sound and decent remedial action.

There must be congressmen who can rise above politics and personal ambition to fill that role. If not, if we must be left to the McCarthys and time-servers, we are in a bad way. Democrat Politics Politics, despite some appearances of late, isn't a dirty word. It's the sum total of the interest of the people In their government. Politics can be clean and above-board, even though some of its practitioners play It brutally and ruthlessly.

But the good and the bad in polities have way of being sorted out at the ballot box, although it sometimes may take a long time in doing. There'll be a lot of politics played in 1954. The Republicans will be fighting to hold the slender margin in the House nnd Senate and the Democrats will strive just as hard to take over a fc-w more seats so that they can move back Into the control ol Congress. ft's at the grass roots level confabs that the real voice of the people in politics is heard.

But sudden death wasn't in his script. Lantern-jawed, big-muscled Jimmy died peacefully in bed of leukemia after a two-year illness. He's probably still blushing about it because for 25 years he flirted with death as the greatest movie stunt man of them all.

Jimmy Dundee's specialty was automobile crackups. He'd flip a over at 60 miles an hour juat to show you he could do it.
