PURPOSE IN TRAVEL
Washington - Hard, prac
tical Presidential travel for
thoroughly planned, concjete
and quite limited objectives,
yes. But no more vaguely
nopeiui jet
liner trips for 'if "ti
u n d e f i n ed
"good will"
objectives so
8 h immerling
ly lofty as to
be neither
clear nor attainable.
Thus ha the
foreign policy
of the United
turned right' about in the
wake of the summit confer
ence that never was.
President Eisenhower's
forthcoming 23,000 -mile
mission to the orient signals
more than a shift in the focus
of Washington's concern from
West to East. It will be for
other reasons a vastly differ
ent mission from the one he
took late last year. Then, he
paid calls to countries in all
sorts of categories - pro-Western,
basically anti-Wea.ern,
and Neutralist.
fTHIS time, the President is
- going to see Allied peoples
only - and this time he goes
in a far different mood than
tile mood in which he went
before. This time, he has
specific aims which are open
to specific and measurable
accomplishment. Here are the
main points in the hew itin
erary, where in each case
there is no doubt whatever as
to just what the President
hopes to achieve:
Japan - (1.) To strengthen a
pro-Western regime which is
under heavy attack from
angry home minorities for
having negotiated the new
security treaty with the Uni
ted States. (2). To show in the
clearest way that United
States will not let down a
Japan which is now being
threatened with Soviet rock
ets if it permits Japan-based
American aircraft to "violate
Soviet air space."
Republic of Korea - (1). To
demonstrate American inter
est in an orderly transfer of
command from the old re
gime of Syngman Rhee to the
new. (2) To make it wholly
plain to the communists in
North Korea that they would
be unwise to attempt another
invasion of South Korea.
THE Philippines - To try to
ease several real and easily
visible sources of friction be
tween that Republic and the
United States.
Formosa (Taiwan) - (1). To
give this island home of the
Nationalist Chinese govern
ment a direct pledge of con
tinued American support. (2.)
To "show the flag" in the
strongest possible manner -through
the President's per
sonal presence - against new
menaces being offered by
Communist China.
This new journey has
hopes Incomparably smaller
than had the last Presidential
journey afar. Then it was
somehow supposed that great
things for general peace - of
a nature not ever quite
brought down to earth - could
somehow be obtained. Now it
is wholly clear that no such
grand and sweeping solutions
are in sight. No self-delusion
now lies upon the scene.
A ND it may even turn out
that this modest approach
will produce moderate gains
to offset, in a tiny but real
way, the immoderate losses
that followed upon our own
Immoderate hopes for that
last series of great visita
tions which was to wind
through a resplendent sum
mit meeting and to end in a
Presidential visit to Moscow
itself.
Inquiry among the people
here who ought to know
shows them divided as to
whether the Communists are
preparing big or only small
trouble in the orient. One re
sponsible view is that a gen
uine outbreak may be expec
ted, probably not in the small
off-shore islands around For
mosa but more likely in what
used to be French Indo
china until Communist in
filtrators cut it to bits.
Another view, and one no
less responsible, is that the
Asian Communists intend not
actual war action but only a
series of alarms and harass
ments to throw the West fur
ther off balance while it tries
to recover from the shock of
the lost summit. Whichever
view is right, it is entirely
relevant to the President's
new journey abroad.

Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF ;
THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE, Hitler's last big gamble
in World War II, was touch and go for days before
American soldiers, many of them seeing action for the first
time, finally sent the
Nazi troops reeling back
in disorder. While the
battle was raging, how
ever, both sides were
hopelessly confused, with
no such thing as a front
or a rear in the tactical
bedlam. Fog, snow and
freezing temperatures
added to the disorder,
and so did German spies
dressed in American uni
forms. John Toland tells the
whole story of this crucial
encounter in his fine book, Battle. He writes, "It reached a
point when passwords had to be supplemented with quizzes.
General Omar Bradley himself was tested by being asked
to name the capital of Illinois and Betty Grable's husband.
He flunked the last question cold, but the sentry let him pass
after indulgently supplying the answer, "Harry James, Sir."
"The bigger the summer vacation," reasons the Ford Times,
"the harder the fall."

One section of the indus-i

publication of encyclopedias
where profit margins usually
are higher than in other types
of books.

Howard F. - I am a bache
lor of 27. I've been going out
with the sme girl for nearly
seven ytar. I've dated others,
but I've been really in love
with Sharon ever since I met
her.
The problem is that she is
interested in a singing career
and feels she can't settle down
to marriage until she has won
some success. Well, I say
seven years is an awfully long
time to keep after one tiling
and not be uble to prove your
self at it. If she had what it
takes she would have achiev
ed something by now.
I'm sure Sharon will even
tually face up to herself and
then she'll be glad to have me
to turn to. My friends think
I'm a fool and keep trying to
get me to meet other girls,
but I guess 1 m a one-woman
man.
...
Don P. - This whole thing
has gotten awfully silly. How
ard was saying six years ago
he expects to get married very
soon. In the meantime most
of the guys in our group have
married and are raising fami
lies and he's still on the loose
and uninterested in some of
the nicest girls.
We all feel Sharon is play
ing Howard for a sucker. She
dates him when she hasn't
anything better to do. She
has told him in so many words
that he's too dull and stodgy
for her. She's interested in
leading a glamorous, exciting
life.
If Sharon ever gets any
where with her career, she'll
drop Howard like a hot cake.
Why should a good - looking,
Intelligent guy spend his best
years cour'ing a girl who
would only take him as a last
resort?
The Council: Howard sees
something absurd in Sharon's
seven-year apparently hope
less pursuit of one goal, but
fails to notice that he is doing
the same thing. It just shows
how unobjective people can
be about themselves!
Just as Howard has fixed
on Sharon as his one possi
bility of real happiness, she
has fixed on a glamorous,
theatrical career as her one
real chance.
The trouble with these
rigid goals that fall to ma
terialize is that they are usual
ly founded on a false basis,
Those who want to marry
marry. Those who want
sing, sing. Those who want
I'm a one-1 after year do exactly that.
Of course, we can't all
achieve our biggest dreams.
But individuals who don't
seek frustration or who aren't
running away from something
usually manage to incorporate
something of their dream in
real life. Sharon may not be
able to make the Metropoli
tan opera or be a top record
ing vocalist, but if she has a
voice and has worked hard,
she can find ninny opportuni
ties to be heard and admired
on a more modest level. How
ard may not bo able to win
the lovely Sharon, but lie may

be able to find equally desir
able girls and settle down to
wedded bliss.
We think it would be most
unfortunate if Sharon were
to finally accept Howard in
a mood of hopelessness and
defeat. He will never feel he
has been chosen for himself
and she will always feel life
hasn't lived up to her expec
tations - hardly a sound basis
for marriage.
