MAIL TRIBUNE Political Prognosis The Ftatc press (about 90 per cent Republican) is still trying to figure out what happened to them on November 6, and devise ways and means to pre vent a similar catastrophe in 1958 and I960.- According to one of their most vigorous diagnos ticians, therf are many things to do. In the first place the Republican candidates should not be "debate-shy" as they were this year. They should not only refuse to dodge challenges by their opponents but accept them and go to bat, on the issues. WE ARE glad to second the motion. No. 2: they should abandon the "easy way" ih the future as they have not, in the recent past, and instead of talking to selected groups almost exclu sively G.O.P., should welcome members of the op posing party also and submit (as Wayne Morse always has) to an open "question hour" afterward. That is a good idea also. fTHEN it is suggested, instead of letting the Demo crats get away with their "demagogic jargon" about the party of Big Business, Wall Street, the Ar lington Club, and all that bring out the rRUIH and show the voters, that among the members of these groups, particularly the latter, are many who have done yeoman service to their tommunities, the state and the nation, particu larly in. "areas of distress" and the political activity of such types from- the standpoint of the public wel--fare is needed and should be prized. e e e a a J7ROM purely a party standpoint that is a natural ambition, but we seriously doubt if it can be put over successfully politically speaking, p For these terms are not demagogic. They are used i only in a symbolic senre and are based on the truth. The Grand Old Party IS basically the party of Big Business. The .boys on "Wall Street" and in Oregon, the membejs of- the exclusive and attractive Arling ton plub, ARE overwhelmingly Republican which is no crime and for generations have been. There is or should be no intimation they are not gentlemen of the highest character and standing; no denial that "many of them do yeoman service to their f ellowmen" particularly in "areas of distress." But they DO also have, and are proud as a whole to have, the Big Business as opposed to the Little Business, point-of-view, while there are many voters in the country who just as sincerely believe the country needs a party more concerned with the wel fare of the latter than the former. So this is a perfectly particularly where economic values and public wel fare are concerned. We don licanism can do much about it, any more than they can have their cake of "peace, prosperity and plati tudes and eat it too. There the two major parties, and what every impartial and be a fact. It is not a theory cooked up for political purposes only, it is a condition that CO WHILE we have no particular objection to this effort we can't go along with it, and don't believe it will get very far as an issue. - -We do believe, however, what Is meant by the "Arlington club crowd" has too great an influence in state politics today, would be wise to pass about the controls a bit, m stead of concentrating them all in one section of the state metropolis. LJOWEVER, as stated before, we don't believe there is going to be a radical change in party registra tions or controls, as far as the G.O.P. is concerned, until there is a change in some of their fundamental principles and the quality dates. We shall not indulge sons" but unless the Grand Old Party does produce a better slate of candidates than they did this year and by better we mean better from the standpoint of their records, abilities and have to suffer tne bitter pangs of decisive state de feat. R.W.R. Was World War II a Blunder? Speaking of the state press, we have been sur prised to note in this post-election period not only increasing criticism of the Eisenhower foreign policy but in some cases a definite trend toward reactionary isolationism. One of the leading "outside of Portland" papers for example, deplores the for Britain is being considered, and entering the Sec ond World War was a terrible blunder and a near- fatal American mistake. The time-honored claim is made, that had the U.S.A. kept out of the war, allowed Hitler to crush Soviet Russia and then of the way made mincemeat of "Der Fuhrer," we would be sitting on - top - balanced budget, practically no national debt, and a prospenty unequalled ;n THAT is a pretty picture 1 how about the facts? In the first place our contemporary seems to over look Pearl Harbor and the Japanese attack. Would he have ignored that incident in infamy, and allowed Japan to take over China, Hawaii, the Philippines and the Pacific? We can't believe that. Although the editor does not say so our assump Sunday.

In stead, it seems possible that an effective, nationwide guerilla movement will be organized there. And if the astonishing Hungarians succeed in organiz ing such a movement the West as well as the Soviets will be faced with appallingly difficult decision. For if the Hungarian revolt had been no more than flash in the pan, quickly and easily sup pressed, mere words would have IK V3- 2 do&eun Aisoo Stewart A nop been enough. But if the resist ance continues, the United States and its allies are going to decide what, if anything, to do about it. The Hungarians appear to be brilliantly turning Soviet tech niques against the Soviets. For the Soviets, unlike the American military, take guerilla action very seriously indeed as a tech nique of warfare. When he was War Minister under Stalin Soviet Premier Bulganin boast ed that the Soviet Union posses sed "an entirely novel doctrine of warfare" which would permit the Kremlin to earn its ends without resort to regular army warfare. The "novel doctrine was, of course, based on guerilla tactics. IN FACT, the "novel doctrine" Kaf-lr in T on'n ...Via m.At. that "guerilla warfare is the inevitable form of struggle when the mass movement has reached the stage of rebellion." The doc trine has worked well for the Communists. Communist Gue rillas have harried Western posi tions from Malaya to Greece. And at least three Communist gueril la leaders Tito of Yugoslavia Ho Chi Minh of Indochina, and Mao Tse Tung of China have fought their way to full power, In a remarkable treatise on guerilla warfare, Mao Tse Tung has laid down the requirements for effective guerilla action. One is the support of the mass of the people. "Guerillas are fish,' Mao wrote, "and the people are the water in which the fish swim. If the temperature of the water is right the fish will multi ply and flourish." The temperature of the water is wholly right in Hungary the bitter Hungarians hate the Soviet conquerors to a man. But gueril las need arms as well as hate. The Hungarian resistance now has considerable stocks of weap ons, since about three quarters of the Hungarian army went over to the rebels. For the time being but only for the time being it is believed here, the Hungarians have enough weap ons to mount effective guerilla operations TF THEY do so, the Soviets can adopt either of two tac tics. They can, if they will, make a Carthaginian peace, in effect destroying Hungary as a nation. mt , . . .v tion is, he would have had the U. S. enter the war but kept out of war against Hitler. But Hitler declared shortly after that Pearl Harbor attack and proceeded, principally via U boats, to How could the United self respect or dignity, have kept out of war under such circumstances? LJOWEVER, for the s;ake sumed we had refused to go to war, at least in Europe. Is there any reasonable help not only in supplying ships, munitions, arms and food, but also forcing Germany to fight on two fronts, Soviet Russia would have Then what? With Russia out of the way we would have crushed Hitler? We don't believe it are many military experts lantic who would supuort With Russia demobilized to the East, Europe out of it to the West, and Britain gasping for breath, it is doubtful that the Normandy invasion would ever have been considered much less launched. It might, of course, if happened. But what happened DID happen. CO, AS we see it, instead to England and western Europe in its present crisis, we should approve for the task is an expensive and painful one, but for essentially the same reason we entered World War II because it was, in the terest to do so. The cost was great and continues to mount, but how about the cost of the complete Japanese control control to the east, with in between? It is thai "alternative" we believe, that our wor thy contemporary seems to forget. R.W.R. By J., and Stewart Mio, But they cannot half-destroy Hungary. A tactic of limited frightful ness is the worst way to deal with guerillas, as the Nazis dis covered. Such isolated acts of frightfullness as the murder of all the inhabitants of the village of Oradour-Sur-Glane, for ex ample, and the deportation of only a few hundreds of thousands of Frenchmen to Germany, greatly strengthed the French wartime resistance. There are obvious reasons why the Soviets may hesitate to adopt a tactic of total frightful ness. The alternative is the policy which the Germans in the end adopted throughout the German wartime empire. It is to try to hold only the larger cities and the main lines of communication, relying on forays into the gueril la-held countryside to wear down and eventually destroy the resistance. This policy did not work for the Germans because the allies air-dropped tons of supplies to the anti-Nazi resistanct. But it unquestionably will ultimately work for the Russians, if the Hungarian resitance is not like wise supplied. And this is why the prospect of a continuing Hungarian resistance may con front the West with an appalling choice. a a FOR, if an effective Hungarian resistance movement is es tablished its leaders will surely ask the United Nations, which has already condemned and de clared illegal the Soviet action in Hungary, for assistance. As sistance cannot possibly be sup plied covertly. One expert guess is that it would take 150 air craft sorties a month, and an elaborate logistic system, to sup ply a serious guerilla force in Hungary. And any sucn opera tion would obviously involve, amone other risks, the risk of world war. The alternative is to stand idly by while the Soviets grind the Hungarian resistance slowly into bits. No doubt standing idly by is sometimes the better part of wisdom. But it may be as un pleasant as disregarding the cries of a small animal caught in a trap, while it is worried to death by a large one. At the very least, the Soviets should not be assured (as Secretary Dulles assured them when Pol and exploded) that we will nev er in any circumstances do any thing at all but talk.

DULLES AND MORAL FORCE As reported from Paris no text has been published Sec retary Dulles said on Tuesday that NATO, while main taining its mil itary strength, should in its internat i o n a 1 dealings rely on moral force. This has been the line taken by the A d m i n i s tra- tion both in the Hungarian and in the Egyptian affair. It has meant the setting up of a work ing theory, in my view a false theory that the alternative to the use of military force as an instrument of policy is propa ganda that is to say arousing Editorial Comment MAN OF THE YEAR This is the time of year when. readers of Time magazine sub mit their nominations for that magazine's "Man of the Year" award. Usually the award goes to a politician or a general. But this time we nominate and we're sure all other good sinners will agree with us an obscure foot doctor in New York City. His name is Maurice J. Lewi and he just celebrated his 89th birthday in the restricted manner his physicians have in sisted upon. His cigar consump tion has been reduced from 14 a day to three or four. And his highball consumption is limited now to one before dinner and one before bed. He's had to quit card playing, not upon doctors orders, but because his failing eyesight prevents him, ofttimes, from distinguishing between the king and the jack and that's very important.

In the Day's Hews By FRANK JENKINS Polish straw in the wind: Leaders of some 30,000 Polish steelworkers at Poznan have threatened to strike if the (eom munist) government tries to sup press a resolution condemning Russia for intervening in Hun gary. The resolution, which cli maxed three days of anti-Soviet demonstrations in Poznan, de mands that Russia withdraw its forces from Hungary immedi ately and that U.N, or Warsaw pact troops replace- them. 7"ARL Marx, the founder of communism, must be turning over in his grave. He looked for ward to strikes by the workers as the final blow that would fin ish off capitalism. Instead, it looks like strikes by communist-oppressed workers may be the weapon, that will finish off communism. HOW communism works: The general strike in Hun gary was scheduled to end the' other night. Two of the striking workers' top leaders had been in vited by the communist govern ment to come to the parliament building to negotiate terms. Al though warned by their follow ers, they decided to rely on com munist pledges of safety and went to the meeting. They were arrested as soon as they arrived, and it was believed in Hungary the two leaders will be the first to be hanged as counter - revolutionaries under the martial law decree issued by the communist Premier Kadar. THINGS like that buttress the conclusion that the institution of Kremlin communism is so foul that in time it must fall of the weight of its own foulness. IF we can keep the Kremlin commies from starting a shoot ing war to save their own skins. rpHERE is another interesting development this morning. In an address to the Indian parliament, Nehru reports that 25.000 Hungarians have been killed by the Russians at a cost of 7,000 Soviet troops. This, Nehru says, is the estimate just given to him by India's ambas sador K.P.S. Mer.'-n, who had been sent by Nehru to Budapest to gather information on the ac tual situation there. Menon (he isn't the Krishna Menon who has .been so violently anti-American they aren't even related) reported to Nehru that he found conditions in Budapest "reminiscent of the civil disobe dience movement in India" against the British. That is to say, the Hungarians are using against the Russian communists the same tactics that were successfully used by Nehru to get India out from under con trol by Britain. IN conclusion: If conditions in Hungary are so terrible as to shock Nehru, who has been leaning strongly toward Russia, they must be pretty badv pi S " rl aksntei Waiter LlDDtaMJin Tomorrow Lippmaas a r public opinion by putfingeforft declarations and Speeches ando resolutions condemning, deplor ing and denouncing. A policy whicn restj wnouy. or even principally, on .tne ai- or even prmiij, ternatives of military force and , moral force is like a stool which has only two legs. ItwiiJ not stand up. The third and miss ing leg is to have negotiable pro posals.

On the one btn& he was saying that we would not intervene. On the other hand, rie was aying that we hope for rg bellion against and withirj, the Soviet empire. This is to play with fire in a situation which is highly explosive. The whole situation needs to be brought under control, brought into a manaable per spective, and this can be don only if somehow perhaps in a mission by the Secretary Gen eral of the United Nations to Moscow there are set going diplomatic negotiations dealing with a system "of European se curity.
