Crisis Now Commonplace
The gradual unification of the free world into
a force capable of countering the strength of the
communist world has been a succession of crises.
And there is no reason to believe that any more
sensible system is going to be utilized.
Right now the entire Western European de
fense system is in danger of collapse. The new-
. est threat comes from such impc.tant French
leaders aX Edouard'IIerriot and Edouaxd Dala
dier who have renounced the unified European
' Army proposal because it provides for German
army units. Without West German manpower,
ariy plan for a unified defense of Western Eu
rope seems sure of failure.
French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman and
Defense Minister Rene Pleven have sent a fran-
tic plea to Great Britain's Anthony Eden to "do
something" to help convince, wavering French
men that England intends to support the Europ
ean army plan. ,
V The whole crisis will be brought to a head in
the near future, perhaps this week, when the
proposal is placed before the French Assembly.
If the proposal is defeated, the cabinet of Pre
mier Antoine Pinay will fall, carrying with it
Foreign Minister Schuman who has sparked the
Europe unification movement. I ;
If France says "ito," the Western Europe army
scheme is doomed, unless a miraculous substi
tute is evolved which: will satisfy everybody's
overlapping interests. If the Europe Army plan
. fails, the North Atlantic Pact Nations are left
with a defense agreement but no army with
which to carry it out1 And America's entire for
eign policy, as regards Europe, is based on the
success of NATO. y -
Thus the internal troubles of France have a
very real bearing on our own. security. -What's
more, if this tight-rope is spanned,
' there still is the threat of rejection by the West
, German parliament at Boring And then there is
the West European crisis, the one in Iran, where
ttje Key to the Middle East is in danger, and
the new Red drive in Indochina with its possi
bility of sweeping through Southeast Asia.
, We have truly beoqmecrisis-saturated As our
Alsop brothers once . pointed out, living on the
edge
commo
ground for this study. Besides a private law
practice in Manila and a professorship at the
University there, he is also financial adviser to
the Philippine Senate. He is a most welcome
visitor in our capital city . We trust his findings
will be of benefits when adapted to the needs
of his own country.
The Pollsters Arc Shy
One of the reasons that election forecasters
are wary of making all-out predictions can be
seen in the fact that out of the nearly 49,000,000
people who voted in 1948, if a certain 25,000
had changed their votes, Thomas Dewey would
have been elected. If Dewey had won the elec
toral votes of Ohio, Illinois and California, he
would have won the election. The combined
democratic plurality in those three states was
' less than 50,000 votes, and if over half of those
voters had changed their minds before election
j day. it would be the Republicans instead of the
I Democrats chanting "Don't let them take it
away." ,
Despite the unseasonally-mild fall, the office
j cynic bets a lot of householders are still pro-
crastinating about their fuel supply, faucet-
wrapping and that1 leak in the roof. And it was
surprising how many people didn't ask her who
: she meant. . : r..--
j Many a prominent Democrat has jumped to
j the Eisenhower camp and some Republicans
j are switching to Stevenson. Looks like the long
4 talked-of party realignment is pretty well tak
jlng care of itself. '

Democrats accuse Republicans of double talk,
and Republicans accuse Democrats of double

is playing "double or nothing" without knowing
it.

A Distinguished Visitor
A visit in Salem by Philippine representative,
Dominador R. Ay tona, winding up a six-month
study of finance and budgeting in this country,
couldn't have come at a more revealing time'
than in this our election year. V
.With recent economic chest-baring on the part
of candidates flooding newspapers, radio and tel
eision," Mr. Aytona has a wealth of material be
fore him daily, at least in the study of candi
date affluence. .
Naturally, the representative from the islands
in the far Pacific is utilizing his time in our
country for more extensive study than that
found in political furor, however. His stay here
is made possible by an act of the 80th Congress
creating the Department of State's International
Exchange of Persons. Representatives of under
privileged countries are invited to tour the Uni
ted States, studying means of budgeting and fi
nance in this country so they can take back sug
gestions and ideas gleaned from first-hand na

THE ORACLES OF OREGON
WONT TELL THEIR SECRETS
CROOK County has clammed up.
The county is in Oregon and has voted for
the winner in every presidential election since
1880. It has replaced Maine in the affections of
the poll takers as a political weathervane.
But Crook County has had to pay for its magic
touch. Ever since the national conventions report
ers and hopeful prophets have been knocking on
doors, ringing telephones, and peeking in windows
trying to learn the political sentiments of Crook
County.
Th9 population has revolted. They won't answer
doorbells or telephones,, and they won't- talk.
; They're sick of being questioned and of being
treated like guinea pigs.
The last poll taker to escape from the county
brought these results to the rest of the world.
Eisenhower 68, Stevenson 38, and undecided, 39.
That big bloc of undecided votes is what tripped
the big professional forecasters last presidential
election. r
Since Crook County has taken the vow of sll
I ence, we guess well have to wait until Nov. 5 to
find out how the election comes out. (Atlanta,

Ailnerability of this country to

Very recently, a report from
" Project Lincoln was submitted
to the National Security Council.
This report warned bluntly that
the United States would be wide
open to "crippling" atomic .at---
tack by the Soviet strategic air
force within two to thre years.
r The United States, in fact, does
; not now have an effectivt air de
fense. Moreover, the United
. j States is ot likely to have a
really formidable air defense in
the foreseeable future, on the
jasis of present plans and ap
propriations. On both . these
The trouble it is a familiar
trouble is that a truly effective
air defense will cost money. If
the recommendations of Project
Lincold are accepted, the cost
' for the first year, which will be
devoted largely to experimental
: work, will be relatively trifling.
But when the t oduction stage is
reached thereafter, an annual ex
penditure of at least $4 to S5 bfl-
i lion, over and above current air
'defense expenditures, is envis-
aged. m ; ;,
Nor is this alL For reaaoaa

; atomic retalirtloa. Very large
sums, the experts believe, must

certain that we do not lose this
. power to strike back, oa which
bt security squarely rests.
. Gen. Eisenhower's promise to
i reduce expenditures massively
within the next four years reads
i strangely in the light of such
' facts. Oddly enough, there ' is
reason to believe " that Secretary
"of i Defense Robert A. Lovett
caused Eisenhower and some of
his advisers to be briefed on
these and related matters. At
any rate, tha essential nature of

It may be that Elseasower, If
he Is elected, win be able ta
