Let's Keep Our Wits About Us
When Adlai Stevenson made that statement
the other day about President Eisenhower
maybe not being master in his own house, one
Oregon editor took it as a sign the Democrat
was losing his sense of humor.
This would be a fate worse than losing an
election for any candidates Granted that po
; litical campaigns are no laughing matter, a
Shakespearean appreciation of the bofs and
: pratfalls is the balance wheel that can keep
t participants and spectators alike oa an even
: keel Politicians who ordinarily have very
little sense of historical perspective burden
themselves and their audience with a dramat
ic aura of impending doom, as though the
' entire future of civilization rested upon some
trivial press release.
- As every dramatist knows, great tragedy
and comedy are closely related. And polit
ical campaigns are tragi-comedies always de
pending upon your partisanship with slap
stick, corn and weighty intellectual matter
well mixed. Unfortunately, some people cant
distinguish the ingredients. . .
' That's why we recommend The Golden
Kazoo" as an antidote to the dread sense of
self-importance which seems to be an occu
pational hazard to which amateur party work-
' era are especially susceptible (professionals
are often too cynical to care either way). It
is acclaimed by critics as the funniert novel
' of the year. The New York Times thought it
"ingenious, inventive" and. the Washington
Post & Times Herald said, "It is a vaccination
against an insidious infection, and we sug
gest you take a shot at ft." John G. Schneider
is the author and it is available in a paper-back
edition. .
It's a satire on the presidential campaign
- of 1960 in which the age-old advertising con
cept of the Lowest Common Denominator
vrins the election for the GOP. The Madison
Avenue agency executive explains: ?
C "Look, kids, we citizens o the United States
- of America have known, during our own lew
'page of history, role by the Puritanical lor
TaeolocieaO Hind, the Agrarian. Mercantile.
Imperialist. Isolationist. Conservative and Lib
eral Minds.' Among many others. These domi
nant forces come and go, and we manage to
put op with them. Luckily lor oa, the Political
Admind Is not wicked, nor vicious, nor eub-
- normally dumb, nor overly greedy . nor power ;
' mad, nor fanatically dedicated to any proposi-'
tion more subversive than that of selling a bill
of goods. If the atoms don't get oa, we should
survive the Era of the Admind."
, .
The 1960 campaign was based on the im
mutable first law of advertising, which is:
There ain't any high brow in low brows, but
there's some low-brow in everybody.
' We just wish there were a saving sense of
humor in everybody, too. (M.W.W.)

Editorial Comment
Sermonettet Slow Down '
The other noon we heard a prayer opening a
service club luncheon that was about aa timely
a suggestion as could be voiced. The essence of
the message was "alow down." Not slow down and
live but slow down and appreciate the many bless
ings bestowed upon you and the many beauties of
' Nature surrounding you.
Slow down to greet a friend. Slow down to enjoy
; the sunrise and the sunset. Slow dowa to listen ter
the song of the birds. Slow down to enjoy the
weather
Slow down and realize the immediate presence
of God and the element of the Divine la everything
about you. Slow down and really understand sew
' and forever that, you cannot really live without
God. Slow dowa and realize else that once you live
with God there is so much more enjoyment at your
command as yon understand God's wonders and
behold them. .
Day by day it seems as if we are increasing the
tempo of our ways speeding onward to destination
unknown. It seems also as if in this process we
disregard the signposts that could and would lead
'' us along the high road to destination certain. We
art moving so last we miss as many of the things
essential to our knowledge once destination has
been reached.. ". .. . . ... -. ,
Slow down and really live each minute of the
day, remembering that these minutes tick but once
i sequence for each of us. Stow down to appre
ciate the fullness of each minute and to express
silent thanks for being able to enjoy them. . . .

Suez Confab
Actions Said
Nondecisive
' By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press New Analyst
Last minute hitches at the Lon
don Sues conference, particularly
the reactions of France, Pakistan
and J spaa, seem to be largely
technical and subject to aoiutioa.
The whole business of forming a
users' association, however. Is
just a step ia establishing the
Allied position, and a nondecisive
step at that. Differences among
evea the agreeing nations carry
portents of trouble la administra
tion as well as in principle. The
margin of anity ever disunity, if
any. ia small.
There is doubt that tt Is large
enough to represent any great
pressure oa Egypt's Nasser, al
though reaction ia Cairo suggests
a bare, possibility of agreement
a a
Indeed, some Western observers
feel that the Allies have to large
part accepted the most important
points in Nasser's position that
the' canal belongs to Egypt and
she is entitled to a larger share
ia its profits. Tbe- major point
they have not accepted is that be
is entitled to unilateral control
without tateraaUoaal checks.
Tbe conference's owa doubt that
Nasser will settle, however, baa
been clearly demonstrated by re
peated references to future pos
sibilities. -
There still remains the idea that
Nasser will be faced by users'
convoy demanding transit of the
canal under its own terms, and
the further plan to establish at
least a partial boycott if be re
fuses. Refusal of transit would be pre
sented to the United Nations as a
breach of an International treaty.
But that treaty was signed when
the Middle East was under Ot to
rn aa rule, when Egypt was ruled
by puppets of the Europeans and
had little national entity in aa
era which has Utile more influ
ence oa Mediterranean affairs to
day than does the Trojan war. A
fight over the treaty ot 1838 in
the United Nations would find tbe
big powers opposed openly by
many small nations perhaps in
cluding some of the Latin Ameri
cans, and behind the scenes by
many more. '
Tbe cost of tbe cleavage might
far outweight the objective.

the reluctant and skeptical Brit

this might be done may be auth
oritatively outlined about as fol
lows. . ..
First, the shipping of the major
maritime nations ia to be diverted
round the Cape, thus reducing the
Sues Canal to a "dry ditch" and
weakening Nasser's bargaining
power. This was, of course, the
real purpose of the Dulles-Eden
proposal of a "users' association"
to control canal operations no
one seriously expected Nasser to
accept tbe proposal.

So will Nasser's oil producing :
Arab allies, whose oil revenues
will be sharply cut. So will other
countries on whose support Nas
ser counts. Eighty per cent of
India s trade, for example, la dot
mally routed through the canal. -carried
largely in British
bottoms, and a settlement will
then be very much in India's
interest. .
Under such internal and ex
ternal pressures, Nasser Is to be
brought to a reasonable frame of
mind, and he or conceivably
a successor will ultimately
accept the minimum Western
terms. These terms boil dowa to
some form of international par
ticipation in the operation of the
canal. Thus Nasser, according to
the Dulles' version, is to be
taught his lesson without tbe di
rect application ot force.
Maybe things will actually work
out that way; The slaw oroatoa

ly, the tceaomto prsiaare Is by
Bo meaas aO ewe wayv
The oil revenues the British
lost in Iran were made up sur
prisingly quickly elsewhere. But
even with the half promised loans
from this country, the economies
of Britain and Western Europe
will be badly hurt by canal
boycott. Thus economic bargain
ing power is certainly not a West
ern monopoly in the dispute with
Egypt. - v
The hard fact Is that tbe threat
to use force was the central ele
ment in the West's bargaining
power. No sensible msa would
argue that tha prospect of aa
ugly little war la the Middle East
was ever a pleasant prospect ,
But with tbe prospect fading, and
the threat of force virtually ruled
out by the Dulles' policy, tbe
Chance that Nasser will get away
with hia slap in tho face for the
West is Immeasurably Increased.
If be does, the Westera powers
might as well resign themselves
to more slaps In the face, ia the
Middle East and elsewhere.
