The Devil Theory
A few days ago Walter Lippmann made ref
rence to the "devil theory" the idea that, when
something goes wrong, some specific group or
individual is diabolically behind it.
In the early days of the Massachusetts col
ony, particularly in Salem, all the ills of the time
were blamed on witches and their master, the
Devil.
Since that time the guilty label has been
pasted on a wide variety of scape-goats, with
varying degrees of logic.
IN time of war, it is always easy and profitable

ed crops (illogical up

The Catholics have had their share ot being
blamed, too, for everything that goes wrong.
(And with Senator Kennedy, a Catholic, as a
good possibility for President, the mailings

Thev are blamed for

have had anything to do with.
But the devil theorv makes thincrs so easv.
No thought is required ; no probing for the truth,
for probable causes, for the real reasons.
If you re opposed to

even such things as the "plot" to fluoridate the

But it is dangerous,
REAL reasons why things sometimes go awry.
and when the REAL reasons are unknown or ig
nored, it is difficult' if not impossible to find
the needed solutions.
Gettiner at the truth of a comrilex situation
is never easy, and sometimes is well-nigh impos
sible. That is why some people throw up their
hands and blame the whole thing on some real
or imagined enemy.
("NE small example:
When the riots in
President Eisenhower's
celled, it was popularly blamed on a small, hard
core group of communists."
Now there is undoubtedly some truth in this.
But is it the whole truth?
The same "small, hard-core group of com
munists" has, for years, been trying to spark riots
and demonstrations in .Tannn Rut. nevpr hpfnrp
and not since have they
on that one occasion when the President s im
pending visit dramatized the presence of U. S.
bases in Japan, the U-2 incident, the summit fail
ure, and prevailing unrest.
IN other words, the "devil" was present all right.
But he could not have succeeded alone, and
without a combination of other circumstances
to create the unfortunate situation which faced
the American President.
Similarly, it is easy to blame the current un
happy state of affairs in Cuba exclusively on
the communists. Again, there is no doubt but
what the communists are doing all they can to
capitalize on the situation, and probably to take
over completely.
But this devir theory of what is happening in
Cuba ignores the very real feeling of resentment
at Batista's many years of dictatorship, as well
as against the "Colossus of the North.
Things are seldom as simple as they seem.
And when someone tries to blame something on
the fellow next door, or "city hall," or the com
munists or Jews or Catholics, watch out. He's
really blaming the "devil," and chances are he
doesn't want, or can't get at, the complex truth.
E. A.
Kennedy s Speech
Whether or not one agrees with its message,
it is difficult to dismiss Tightly the nomination
acceptance speech of Sen. John F. Kennedy in
Los Angeles last Friday night.
After all the dreary oratory, his talk was
fresh and bright. After thousands of words of
generalities, his was specific or as specific as
ii is jjusBioie lor a poiiucai iigure w De.
And. after all the nromisine' of rosv nromises.
his talk was refreshing in

THIS is a young man who knows just where
he wants to go. and how he nlans to get there.
and wnat he's going to do when he arrives.
He combines toughness with knowledcreabil-
ity; tight organizational ability with a skill at
public appeal ; a philosophical base of operations
with a well-plotted path and a firmly-defined
goal.
It remains to be seen
the challenges of "The

But in demoting the

Conventions

procedures now called party

Just "grew up" like little Top

Any prominent public per

prestige may mean more than
the "support" of a so-called

these parties do when It comes

Inter-Faith Meeting
To the Editor: The M.T.'s
position toward the religious
issue in the candidacy of Sen
ator John F. Kennedy for
president has once again been
made clear by the editorial
note appended to Mr. Bailey's
correspondence. Since the
editor feels the Important
consideration is Senator Ken
nedy's affirmation that he Is
free from any ecclesiastical
pressures which might In
fluence his official actions, I
would like to focus attention
upon this affirmation in the
light of his past record.
Let me cite one example. In
the fall of 1950, in Philadel
phia, a banquet was held to
conclude the financial cam
paign for the erecllon of a
chapel honoring the four
chaplains (of three faiths) who
went down with their ship,
giving their life preservers
that four other men might
live. The toastmaster for the
banquet was former Supreme

I would call it a toss-up,
the choice depending on whe

me, I'm only glad they don't
happen simultaneously.
On the second page of my
sketch book, I drew a com
parison between the Chicago

using as a model the elapsed
time between the cities and
their airports.
It took something over
three hours to get from the

civic occasion, that all the
faiths were participating, and
that we were meeting not in a

congressman replied that he
understood all this and that
he had done everything he
could to change the cardinal's
position. His speech was pre
pared, he said, and he would
gladly forward It to me, but
as a loyal son of the Churcn,
he had no alternative but not

Editor's note: Congressional

Kennedy, says the following
concerning the Incident men

In late 1059, Dr. Daniel A.
Poling, a defeated Republican
candidate for Philadelphia
mayor In 1051, said Kennedy
had withdrawn (rom an ap

meeting at the Insistence of
Catholic leaders. Kennedy
Jan. 14, 1060 said the fnels
were accurate but the con
clusions drawn from them
were not, He said he had been
asked to the ceremony, not ns
Member of Congress or ns
an individual, but "as the offi
cial representative of a re

learned after accepting the
Invitation, he sold, that the
Archdiocese of Philadelphia,
for religious reasons, was un
able to support the meeting.

I had been asked."

THE NEW BOSSISM
Washington- A revolu
tion In American politics,
which hud In fact been long
In the mak
ing but had
never before
been general
ly recognized,
is now out in
the open.
The historic
domination of
the Democrat
ic party by
the stnto gov
fllllsm
WltlM
ernors has drawn to Its close,
ns has just been shown In
Los Angeles.
The congressional wing of
the pnrty has come Into Its
own. The realities ot the mod
ern world, which see even
the most powerful of gov
ernors dealing with dull
things like thruway tolls,
have ended the old final au
thority of the statehouse.
The Senate of the United
States has now become the
place where presidential can
didates nre bred. This is be
cause Senators deal directly
with the great natlonnl and
International problems that
cannot come under a gov
ernor's control.
LOOK at the proof. The man
shortly to be nominated
by the Republicans for Presi
dent, Vice-President Richard
Nixon, never served In any
governor's mansion. He open
hls career by being elected to
the House of Representatives
Ho went from there to the
Senate and from there to the
vice-presidency.
The Democratic president
ial nominee, Sen. John F
Kenedy, also started his pub
lic life in the House In the
snme year, 104B, which sent
Nixon there. Kennedy, too,
went from the House to the
Senate. His running mate,
Senator Lyndon B. Johnson,
Is nlso nn old House man who
later beenme a Senate man
nnd the powerful Democratic
Senate leader.
The governors can still help
make presidential candidates,
us they did with Kennedy In
the Democratic convention.
But they no longer are them
selves really "avnllnblc for
this top nomlnntlon. The
world hns chnnged and this
country has changed.
FROM the time of Frnnklln

Their old control of local

alone directs the world con
test with International Com
munism. Bnsslsm" In Its old form,
where bosslsm proceeded
from the governor's office, is
largely dead. But a new bos

This Is a bosslsm based upon
the power nnd Iho capacity
of men In Congress to speak

the positions of the gover

The boss is still alive and
kicking - old or young as he
may be. The only difference

nated by new kind of boss
