MAIL TRIBUNE
"The Honeymoon is Over"
There has been rather a curious condition in the
country politically since the presidential election.
Criticisms of President Eisenhower and particu
larly his foreign policy, have been confined almost
entirely to the Republican press which was so loud in
fulsome praises for "Ike" and everything he stood for
during the campaign. The Democratic press has, as a
whole, said little or nothing, critically speaking.
TAKE the. New Bedford (Mass.) Times, for exam
pie, which through many years has favored this
department with editorial comments from time to
time, usually to the right of the ultra-isolationist Chi
cago Tribune.
The latest offering is entitled "How Stupid Can
We Get?" takes President Eisenhower to task for over
a column in. its lead editorial for his attitude toward
England, and France in the recent Suez crisis.
We quote the conclusion, as follows :
When British and French troops landed in Egypt on
Nov. S, there was new hope for a quick and conclusive
settlement of the Suez crisis. The United States quickly
turned hope into despair by demanding an immediate cease
fire and withdrawal of the "aggressor" forces.
The renewal of the latter demand by the United States
6 and the UN last Saturday was the crowning act in a tragedy
of errors.
How long will it take the United States to realize that
only through united and cooperative effort with Britain and
France can we achieve a settlement of the Suez crisis?
How long will it take the United States to realize that
cur traditional allies, Britain and France, are on the side of
Justice in the Middle East, and that Nasser seeks only to
further his own political power in consort with the Kremlin?
How long will it take the United States to awaken to the
realization that peace in the Middle East can be achieved
only through strength, not appeasement?
Even the strongly Republican Salem Capital
Journal is not sure the policy of the Eisenhower ad
ministration in this case was right.
Whether is was a mistake or not the Salem paper
says only the future can tell, and it reminds its readers
as follows, quote :
Russian threats and American pressure on the U.N. saved
Egyptian Dictator Nasser for the time being, and defeated
the objectives of Britain and France. But the Israeli emerged
with gains they defeated the Egyptians in humiliating fash
ion, proved their boasted army a bluff and captured $50 mil
lion worth of Soviet arms sold them by Russias for which
Nasser had pledged Egypt's cotton crops for decades, and
will probably get territorial gains.
Meanwhile it should be remembered the cause of this
petty, war. Nasser's treaty violation by seizing the Suez
Canal July 26, his avowed intention of destroying Israel, his
open aid to Algerian rebels and his promise to the Algerian
rebels to drive the Western Powers out of the Middle East.
Those were what caused Britain and France to strike and
were perhaps justifiable goals.
"Perhaps justifiable goals?"
Yet President Eisenhower strongly condemned
both Britain and France for this unprovoked attack
on Egypt, and joined with Soviet Russia in demand
ing an immediate cease-fire and the withdrawal of
their offensive forces "forthwith."
CXX THE other hand the Democratic press, as far
as there is any such thing on this coast, has, as far
as we have observed, upheld the administration in
its reliance on the United Nations and its insistence
that the UN charter in its opposition to unprovoked
aggression, be scrupulously observed and upheld.
AS FAR as the Mail Tribune is concerned, as has
been previously stated, we could see no other
way for the United States to act regarding Egypt,
unless it wished to repudiate the UN, and admit to all
the world, that we were in favor of the enforcement
of its provisions where our enemies were concerned
but not in the case of our friends.
Such action MIGHT have resulted in the downfall
of Nasser and the eventual internationalization of the
Suez both objectives highly desirable but it would
almost certainly have been the death blow for the
United Nations, and close to a "k.o." for the cause of
present world peace.
For if England and France were in the right to
strike when Israel started its march toward the Suez,
then a similar right could hardly be denied to Soviet
Russia, Red China, North Korea or any other nation
disposed to resort, via an ultimatum, to armed force
and conquest.
A LL of which adds up, we believe, to verification
"of a prediction made in this department several
times during the campaign, namely: that President
Eisenhower will find the going much tougher in his
second,- than his first term. For in his foreign policies
particularly he never has been supported sincerely
by the extreme right wing of his party, and now with
the election over, and another term for "Ike" out,
there will -no longer be any reason for the opposition
to -"pull their punches" to try to maintain the delusion
that the Grand Old Party with "We Like Ike" as a
battle cry. represents, or ever did represent, a har
monious and united front.
From now on in, the conservative G.O.P. press
promises to follow the lead of the "New Bedford,
Standard-Times" and the Chicago Tribune and say
what it thinks, about Ike and his New Deal policies.

For Page I news should be determined - not by

Seeks to Weaken Leaders
Tito's feeling seems to be that
by centering his fire on the sat
ellite leaders he can weaken
them and at the same time
strengthen those men in the So
viet government, led by Nikita
S. Khrushchev who favor liber
alization of Communist rule.
There are reports Tito is con
vinced the Khrushchev faction
in the Soviet government will
win out in the end over those
who, like Vyacheslav M. Molo
tov, hold that the liberalization
policy is too dangerous.
In his attacks on "Stalinists,"
Tito is directing his hottest fire
against Enver Hoxha, Commu
nist leader in Albania, and his
government.
Hoxha is being accused of op
posing any trend toward liberali
zation and of imprisoning or ex
ecuting those Albanian leaders
who favor it.
Velimi Stojnic, a member of
efforts to obtain concessions
from the U.S. government at the
expense of American-owned car
riers engaged in foreign service.
The grant of such concessions
would not be judged on the strict
merits of the air transportation
business but somewhat in light
of an ally's need and, especially,
in light of an ally's international
behavior.
Airline Gets Concessions
For example, the behavior of
The Netherlands government in
Indonesia may obtain for the
Dutch airlines some eagerly
sought concessions with respect
to air passenger traffic originat
ing m the United States. U.S.
operators will not like that.
The United States has certain
policies toward colonialism, for
example, and certain standards
of international conduct. It is
freely conceded here by some re
sponsible officials that living up
to these standards imposes a
much heavier burden on some
allies of the United States than
it does on this country.
More benign trade policies are
but a part of the contemplated
aid, all of which apparently still
is subject to exploration by the
cabinet and decision by Presi
dent Eisenhower. Western Euro
pean Allies probably will be re
quested to get together among
themselves to pool their mutual
needs. The United States then
would try to meet the rescue
cost.

To the Editor: You have pub

your paper for me in regard to
the necessity of industries for
southern Oregon, for which I
have been very grateful.
Looks as though industry is
not considered. As the old saying
goes, "It's not raining so why fix
the roof?" Anyway, our taxes
and transportation are so high
that any capital large enough
to start an industry in southern
Oregon would not attempt a ven
ture of any sort.
The northern portion of our
state is all that gets any govern
ment consideration. If our mills
should close down for any length
of time, of which there is a
possibility, considering the mar
ket situation, there will be a
larger need for help here at
home than for the Hungarians in
Austria.
Possibly it would be a wise
move for Jackson, Josephine and
Curry Counties to join the eight
Northern California counties and
make a larger state.

Tito's ruling Federal Executive
council, denounced Hoxha and
his aides in an article published
Monday in the newspaper Poli
tika, on of the two Yugoslav
Communist organs.
Stojnic said that Hoxha and
other Albanian leaders were
"trying to stop the process of
democratization and turn it
backwards."
Dispatches from Belgrade say
that the possibility of a complete
break in relations between
Yugoslavia and Albania is the
subject of speculation there.
Yugoslav - Albanian relations
have been bad ever since Tito
broke with Stalin in 1948.
Hits at Czechs
Tito also is exchanging at
tacks with "Stalinist" leaders in
Czechoslovakia. Tito is accusing
the Czechs of slandering Yugo
slavia, part of their resistance to
liberalization, and of distorting
his own speeches.
The Czechs, in turn, are accus
ing Tito of "endangering the
worldwide Communist move
ment and weakening the firm
Communist front."
Tito seems to have nothing to
lose and everything to gain in
his feud with the satellite lead
ers. They can not hope to
weaken him. But he undoubted
ly can weaken them if he keeps
hammering.
!n the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
The idea of another state to
be carved out of the far northern
part of California, which has
been getting a lot of tongue in
cheek discussion in the past few
days, appeals to most of us as
something new.
As a matter of fact, it is old
as age goes in the West. Seces
sion of California's far northern
counties to form a new state of
Shasta was first proposed a little
more than a century ago, when
the American state of California
was still so new that its officials
had scarcely more than got their
chairs warm.
TT CAME before the legislature
-- in the form of a report from
a committee that had been nam
ed to study the proposal. The
report included this statement:
"The interests of the regions
out of which it is proposed to
from these states (the existing
state of California and the new
state of Shasta) are widely dis
similar. Unlike also is the char
acter of their resources and the
investment of capital. Laws so
diversiform and often contrary
are required that it seems im
possible for the same body of
men, representing constituencies
so varied, to agree to their en
actment.
"The experience of the mem
bers of this committee, since the
commencement of the present
session of the legislature, go far
to justify an opinion of the un-
avoidableness of this vast want
of harmony."
rpHE basic grievance of the
-"- counties that were then pro
posing to secede and form a
state of their own was lack of
communications and adequate
transport between the head of
navigation on the Sacramento
and the gold camps of the far
north a lack that has long since
been remedied.
But the present water situa
tion in California makes almost
prophetic the statement of the
state of Shasta committee back
in 1855 that "laws so diversi
form and often contrary are re
quired that it seems impossible
for the same body of men, rep
resenting constituencies so var
ied, to agree in their enactment."
The bulk of California's water
originates in the northern part
of the state. There is tremend
ous and growing demand for
water AND STILL MORE WAT
ER in the south, where the
state's wealth and population are
centered and where it is clearly
recognized that future growth
and development will be limited
by the amount of water that can
be IMPORTED When the 1957
legislature tackles the job of
dividing up California's water
between the counties where it
originates and the water-short
areas where it is WANTED, it
is going to seem again that
'laws so diversiform and often
contrary (in their effect on the '
economies of the regions con
cerned) are required that it
seems impossible for the same
body of men, representing con
stituencies so varied, to agree in
their enactment."
Already there are predictions
that there will be blood on the
moon before the job is finished.
A CENTURY ago, when it was
first, nrnnnpr! tr riivirlp th
state of California and create
a state of Shasta in the north,
water had only two principal
uses outside of quenching
thirst:
1. To wash gold out of the dirt
and gravel of the ecreek bot
toms. 2. To float boats to carry sup
plies to the mining camps.
So water wasn't then much of
a problem. But times have
changed. Water is now the
West's most precious resource.
Without it, all other resources
are practically valueless.

MoftOt Of FCCt
THE PRESIDENT AND CRISIS
Washington Secretary of
State John Foster Dulls' long
absence from his desk has had
a curious un
antici p a t i d,
and highly sig
nificant s i 6 e
effect. It has
involved Pres
ident Eisen
hower deeply
and intimate
ly in the pol
icy - mak
ing process, in
Stewart Afsop
a way that he was got involved
before.
Before Dulles was taken ill,
the President relied on hioi very
heavily indeed. A closeb person
al relationship has developed be
tween the two men, totally dif
ferent as they are in tempera
ment (just as there 'was a close?
relationship between those two
entirely different men, llarry S.
Truman and Dean G. Acheson.)
And, except
for a very few
very big de
cisions ( li e
the decision to
hold a "Megt
i n g a tct h e
Summit?'
which Dulles
strongly
opposed) the
jukeub Aiup President has
had a tendency to "leave it.to
Foster." o
But when Dulles was stlicken,
the President by necessity "be
came his own Secretary of State.
Undersecretary Herbert Hooyer
Jr., (unlike his successor, Massa
chusets' Governor Christian A.
Herter, whose main interest in
life has been foreign affairs) is
essentially an administrator and
thus not qualified to make high
policy decisions. The President
took over completely, even dic
tating his own cables, striding
up and down the Cabinet room
while his chief advisers listened.
THIS period of acting as his
own Secretary of State had
two effects on the President. In
the first place, it tired him out
not surprisingly, since he "was
forced to take over during the
most dangerous foreign policy
crisis of recent yeitrs. The
Georgia vacation was thought
mandatory, even though the
President himself wa wholly
aware that this has not been a
good time to leave Washington.
The other effect was more im
portant. Secretary Dulles had
previously acted as a sort of
cushion between the President
and the facts of the world situa
tion. Now the President was
brought into immediate, inti
mate contact with the facts, with
no intervening cushion.
Like everybody else in the
Administration, the President's
first reaction to the Anglo
French action jn Egypt was
anger. But even in ihose first
days, when there was serious
discussion in the National Se
curity Council of interposing
the American Sixth" Fleet be
tween the Anglo-French forces
and Suez, the President remind
ed his advisers that "we've, got
to remember, who are our real
friends and who are our real
enemies."
And as the days went by, the
importance of" the Western Al
The bulk of the water origin
ates in the counties of the north.
Under exisiting law, these coun
ties of origin have a prior right
to the water that falls in their
hills, in the form of rain or
snow, and runs down their
creeks and their rivers.
They feel, naturally enough,
that it is THEIR water., to be
used first for the development
of THEIR resources." They are
not opposed, of course, to the
later use of their SURPLUS
water by the rest of their state,
but as yet they don t know how
much surplus water they are
going to have if any.
It is easy to understand "Wtiy
they are not happy over pro
posals to limit their . present
rights to priority in the use
