Most observers agree the issue at stake is not Middle East unrest alone. The larger, more fundamental question is total U.S. foreign pol icy in a rapidly changing world. The main focus of U.S. global foreign policy is still Russia and international communism. Even in the Middle East, the Presi dents principal concern is not a regional problem. It is Russian penetration in the Middle East. Some observers have pointed out that any shift in U.S. policy in the Middle East may have se rious consequences on U.S. pol icy in other parts of the world. President's Proposal The President's proposal is for the U.S. to give Middle Eastern countries economic and military guarantees against Russian ag gression in that area. But what the U.S. does in the Middle East and how we do it may affect our relations with the satellites, with our European allies, with the UN and with the uncommit ted nations of Asia and Africa. One way current U.S. foreign policy problems can be seen on a global basis is in terms of the "Great Decisions . . . 1957" is sues. The eight issues, selected by a national committee of ex perts, are separate pieces in a world wide jig saw. The issues are: Week of Jan. 20: How should U.S. compete with Russia? Whether in the Middle East or in Europe, whether in a military or an economic sense, Russian Communist power is the central focus of U.S. foreign policy. Un less the U.S. is able to compete successfully with growing Rus sian might, we may lose all the "other battles" by default. Week of Jan. 27: What U.S. policy for Europe? In the past the U.S. has relied on its alliance with Western Europe, especially Britain and France, to keep the free world secure from Commu nist aggression. In the last four months this Western alliance has been shaken to the core. But the problem of European secu rity remains a real one and Western Europe is indefensible without a strong Western alli ance. U.S. policy for Europe will problems as German reunifica tion, a powerful NATO. Hun gary, Poland, and the other sat ellites. Middle East Week of Feb. 3: What U.S. stakes in Middle East? The "hot spot" right now is the Middle East. Anglo - French influence seems to have collapsed, leaving a power vacuum. U.S. policy may determine whether that vacuum is filled by Russia, the UN, U.S. economic and military power or by the rising Middle Eastern stales themselves. Week of Feb. 10': Should U.S. deal with Red China? U.S. pol icy in most of the world is geared to what communism can or may do. Red China is the Communist partner with the greatest influence on U.S. policy in the Far East. The security of Korea, Japan and other U. S. allies in Southeast Asia( as well as uncommitted nations like In dia) may hinge on U. S. policy toward Red China. . Week of Feb. 17: U.S. for or against "colonialism"? The un committed nations of the Middle East. Asia and Africa considered Anglo-French military action in the Suez a 1956 version of "colo nialist aggression." When Wash ington joined the uncommitted nations in demanding the with- Groups Should be Formed for Program Discussion groups planning to participate in "Great Decisions . . . 1957'' should be organized this week to be ready for the program starting Jn. 20, ac cording to Mrs. John Ouster hout, county chairman. Fact sheets, on which the eight-week foreign policy study is based, are available at the Mcdford public library, she said. Formation of informal home discussion groups, centered on the eight fact sheets, is the basis of the program along with radio, television and newspaper co operation, she pointed out. Several groups have indicated they plan to participate in the program.

Can the U.S. reconcile its tradi tional friendship with Britain and France with the support we now enjoy in the new (former colonial) nations of the world? Week of Feb. 24: Are "neutral ists" against U.S.? Most of the "neutralist" nations are former colonies, hating "colonialism" and "imperialism" as much as they hate communism. These na tions make up a third of the membership of the UN.

Do we have to come to terms with "neutralism" to have effective policies in Asia and Africa? Week of March 3: What U.S. military strategy in nuclear age? U.S. foreign policy cannot be ef fective unless we have the mili tary power to carry out our com mitments and threat. In terms of the kind of world ve are willing to fight for, what 1 we have Ha what do we need to back up our policies? Week of March 10: How much trade how much aid? Nor can Mrs. M. R. My son and daughter don't want me. Mrs. I. N. She' very difficult to live with. a Mrs. M. R My husband died a few months ago and I have been living alone in our home. I had hoped that my son or daughter would ask me to live with them, but neither of them has done this, altho'ugh they have invited me for long visits. I am extremely lonesome in our big house and I am often afraid at night. I should think children would understand this and not want to leave their mother like this in her old age. They have been very cruel. I think I should tell my daughter exactly how I feel. My sister says I shouldn't, but that is because she is lonesome too and wants me to live with her. She has no children and doesn't understand that a mother wants to be with her own children. Mrs. I.N I have a pretty good idea why my niece and nephew have not asked their mother to come and live with them. She is a very difficult per son to live with. She even says herself that she is a neurotic. Now it's true I have been lonesome, but I am used to it and would not ask my sister to come and live with me if I didn't feel it would be the bet ter plan for her. It will be no picnic living with her. but I am used to her and feel we can get along somehow. Her children have their husband and wife to contend with as well. My sister keeps talking about her "old age," but she is only in her mid-sixties and is very healthy. She could work if she wanted to and does not have to be a burden on her children. The Council: Mrs. M.R. should take some comfort in the fact that she is now probably going through the most difficult period of her life and that things will not always seem so bleak. It is natural to turn to one's children after a spouse has died, but Mrs. M.R. should' not feel so rejected by her children be cause they have not asked her to come live with them. Perhaps they feel it would not be the best thing for her as well as for themselves. The fact that they have invited her for long visits shows they are aware of her loneliness and wish to help. Instead of nursing her self pity, Mrs. M.R. would do well to take stock of her assets. She has health and a big house. She might want to consider selling it and moving to a small apart ment alone or with her under standing sister. This would give her income and keep her busy, in addition to offsetting loneli ness. There are merely suggested plans and Mrs. M.R. might be able to think of others more to her liking. The important thing is to think in terms of construc tive plans instead of sitting around feeding hurt, rejected and "neurotic." Mrs. M.R. should seriously consider her sister's plan. She might try to live with Mrs. I.N. for a temporary period to see how they get along. It is best for this widow not to commit herself in haste at this difficult time, but to let her thoughts and feelings simmer down before taking a drastic step.

The President has asked for $400 million in aid to the Middle East and new aid proposals will be offered for other parts of the world. Will the U.S. have to pay heavy aid bills indefinitely? Do U.S. trade policies occasionally tear down what aid policies are supposed to build up? Can any contradictions be reconciled? Can we increase exports of U.S. agricultural surpluses?
