The government Ilelancourl

Inability to satisfy them fully

Two vnguuly defined camps

The resulting uncertainty

In the air,
The opposition bucks Betan

has made It plain that he I

path It has taken. Mo la rep

'Protector' of Revolution
But the opposition to Ileum
court from within tho govern
ment Insists on Venezuela'
role as a "protector" of tho
Cuban revolution.
Such Intellectual variances
- thoro are a dozen others -have
contributed to a widen
ing breach In the rank of a
government sorely In need of
political unity.
Local political problcma
which give Betancourt the

TV may have Its shoddy
spot, but they don't show
up when It comes to report
ing big news event.
Convention coverage Is a
good example. We don't need
anybody this morning to tell
us what happened. WE SAW
IT HAPPEN. About all that
remains is to flguc out what
It meant.
AT political parly conven
tions, there arc two big
events:
1. The platform.
2. The candidate.
Let's put the situation In
military term. The platform
Is the HIGHER STRATEGY
that Is to aay, the plan ot.the
campaign. The candidate i
the leader, ' whose job Is to
carry out the campaign and
WIN THE BATTLE.
In Lo Angcle Tuesday
night, the Democrat adopted
their battle plan. Wednesday
they chose the leader to
carry it out.
rpilE platform, as adopted,
-l has two high spots.
1. The civil rights plonk.
2. The pie In the sky
planks.
THE big battle was over the
civil rights plank. As
written, It was a tough one.
The Northern wing of the
party supported It as written
-for two reasons. The first
reason Is that It Is RIGHT.
If this Is to remain the United
Slates of America, civil rights
must be guaranteed for all of
us ... not Just a few of us. ;
The second reason is a little !
less admirable. The Northern
wing of the Democratic party i
proposes to use the civil
rights Issue to Ret voles In
the big, congested Northern ;
cities, where racial feeling
can be capitalized into votes.
with things as they arc-not
things as they were.
AS to the platform's high
spot No. 2, the sky In Los
Angeles was full of pie.
There was no battle on that.
Everybody was for it.
TT Is the long accepted rule
that political parties In our
country first adopt their plat
forms and then pick their
candidates.
One would like to say that
they pick the candidates to
carry out the platforms. Un
fortunately, It isn't quite that
way. Speaking with brutal
realism, platform arc fly-pa-por
to catch unwary Ilies
Once adopted, they are soon
forgotten. '
It shouldn't be that way,
but It Is.

that because they realize they
