Three New Buildings
It has been our privilege in recent days to
inspect three of the handsomest buildings we
have ever seen.
We refer to the Rogue Valley Manor, which,
rising 10 stories high from the top of Barneburg
hill, has become a veritable landmark on the
southern Oregon scene; the new home of the
Jackson County Federal Savings and Loan asso
ciation, which replaces a decrepit old service sta
tion at the corner of Main and Front streets, and
the new Standard Insurance company building on
East Main street.
HTHE story of the Rogue Valley Manor has been
told many times, but it remains a fascinating
story the story of the half-dozen or so men who
have been the sparkplugs of the non-profit or
ganization building the retirement manor, who
have surmounted all problems and difficulties.

Here will be several hundred people, many of
them coming from distances to make their homes

and so on, as well as the local investment and
spending of funds.
The cultural and intellectual impact likewise
will be considerable, for
high-caliber people who, despite advancing years,
will have much to offer in the way of vigor and
activity to the life of the community.

In this space on Friday, we deplored what we
called Gov. Mark Hatfield's "grab for power" in
asking for reorganization of state government.

as such, but on his rejecting the concept of citi

Matter of Fact
AS THE SHOUTING DIES
Algiers-The furious shout
ing of the rioteers has died
down in Algiers, but it has
left a series
of ugly ques
tions behind.
Above all, it
has left the
question that
e v e'r y one is
asking, about
the practical
ity of Gen. de
Gaulle's Al
Alsop gerian policy
after the recent ugly outburst,
This crucial question can
not even begin to be answered
without an initial clearance
of political debris. You can
not say which policy will pro
duce the most hopeful results
until you understand which
results are impossible to pro
duce at all.
The events of these last ten
days have shown-what Gen.
de Gaulle has clearly known
for a long time-that there is
no way for France to WIN
the war with the Algerian re
bels. Nikita S. Khrushchev
could have won this war, and
he would have won it, precise
ly as he won his victory in
the blood-stained streets of
Budapest.
But no Western nation any
longer has the will, or the
appetite, or the cruelty (call
It what you will) to follow the
only rule for winning wars
between dominant and sub-
ect peoples. This rule is to
be found in Tacitus's biog
raphy of the great pro-consul
Agricola. The historian puts
his rule in the mouth of a
British rebel against Rome,
who says of the Legionary ar
mies: "They make a desert
and they call it peace."
FOR A LONG time, It was
not clear that this cruel rulp
necessarily applied in Algeria,
if only because the struggle
there was most inefficiently
carried on during the pre-de
Gaulle period. The French
army, in this reporter's opin
ion, has long been the best
land force in the West. But
in the era of the Fourth Re
public, the same praise could
not be given to the army s pol
itics-ridden high command.
The reform of the high
command is one of Gen. de
Gaulle's many great achieve
ments. The conduct of the
struggle in Algeria was im
proved beyond recognition by
de Gaulle's two successive
appointees to the command
here, Gen Challe and Gen.
Crepln, What would have
seemed to be impossible mir
acles only two and a half
years ago, in the era of Gen.
Salan, have been quietly
wrought by these two able
commanders.
As result, the bands of
rebels inside Algeria have
been almost wholly cut off
from the F. L. N. forces In
Tunisia and Morocco. Except
for occasional acts of terror
ism, all offensive action has
virtually ceased. A surface
tranquility had been restored
to almost the whole of Al
geria, including the most re
mote and formerly danger
ous areas of the countryside,
before the recent tragic events
disturbed the peace.
VET THERE WAS a fatal
A flaw in this seemingly
hopeful scene. As Gen. Crc
pin, a brutally honest man,
has himself admitted, this
surface tranquility only
masked the facts that the peo
ple In the villages and the
Muslim quarters of the towns
continued to fear the F. L. N.,
to pay the taxes demanded by
the F. L. N., and' to provide
new recruits for the F. L. N.
fighting bands.
The second rule for win
ning wars between dominant
and subject peoples is that the
subject people must fear the
government more than it fears
the rebels of its own race.
That js the reason for the
first rule. And the French
Menace
Joseph Alsop
army, while making extraor
dinary progress both in ap
peasement and in reconstruc
tion, could not fulfill this sec
ond rule of fear.
The result was the situation
which has now been revealed
by the recent tragic events.
One must underline the word
"revealed," for it is certain
that this situation always ex
isted although it was tempo
rarily concealed from many
eyes by the surface tranqual-
ity.
The nature of this situation
is simple. The Muslin popu
lation has not ceased to wish
for an independent, predomi
nantly Muslim Algeria. Khru
shchev could change the
minds of the Algerian Mus
lims quickly enough. But the
lims quickly enough. But
the French army, being
French, cannot do so. That
leaves only two alternatives:
indefinite prolongation of the
deceptive surface tranquility
by mdclinite, costly prolonga
tion of the war in its present
form; or the voluntary crea
tion of the best kind of Mus
lim Algeria which circum
stances will permit.
-
POR REASONS both under
standable and agonizing,
the great majority of the
French people in Algeria and
a good many army officers
would prefer the first of these
two alternatives. They would
rather carry on the war in
definitely, than take the
necessarily enormous gamble
of making peace. But the
people of metropolitan France
have begun to be impatient
for peace, and Gen. de Gaulle,
with one ear cocked, as al
ways, for the impersonal voice
of history, has decided that
the gamble is unavoidable.
What, then, is the nature of
this gamble? There are two
things that now need to be
said about it. First of all, the
chances of a good outcome, or
at least of a decent outcome,
have been much increased by
the progress made in the last
two and a half years.
The F. L. N., though not
defeated, has been weakened.
The flags in the Algerian Cas-
bah have not altered this key
ract.
Second, the great recent
progress in reconstruction
and tranqualization has also
it would seem, changed the
mood, though not the aspira
tions, of the Algerian Mus
lims. There were no flags,
there was not a whisper in the
Muslim quarters of Algiers
when the paratroopers ruled
the city at bayonet point. But
in that era, one may be cer
tain, hatred endlessly boiled
beneath the surface. Yet the
reporters who entered the
Casbah and other Muslim
quarters before security
forces, a few days ago, found
remarkably little hatred, a
surprising degree of modera
tion, and many marks of re
spect for France and even of
attachment for France.
QUCH ARE THE circum
stances. They rule out a
fake-Independent Algeria per
manently held in ill-concealed
tutelage, which was the result
many people wrongly sup
posed Gen. de Gaulle was
seeking. They do not by any
means rule out a truly inde
pendent Algeria, under a mod
crate government, friendly to
France, closely linked to
France, and depending, In
deed, on France for further
national progress.
No one of course can guar
antee that such an indepen
dent Algeria, once created,
will not turn hideously sour.
That is why Gen. de Gaulle's
policy is a majestic gamble.
But before the gamble is con
demned because of its inher
ent risks, the only possible
alternative policies had best
be considered with bleak and
truthful realism.

WHAT CONFRONTS US
Mr. Rusk is taking office
at a time of critical and per
plexing change in our foreign
relations, and
he will need
the kind of
understanding
support which
comes, not
from dogma
tic, but from
open and in
quiring minds.
We can have
every confi
Lippmann
dence in him provided the
country will understand how
greatly the American position
in the world has changed in
the past ten years.
The Kennedy administra
tion will not inherit a well
established and settled for
eign policy. It will inherit
the necessity of augmenting
our over-all national power
and of revising many of our
post-war commitments. This
will be a painful and perhaps
an unpopular business.
I DO NOT THINK that this
sober view is unduly som
ber. It is essentially the view
which constituted the central
theme of Senator Kennedy's
campaign. When he talked
of our loss of prestige and of
the deterioration of our pow
er and position, it was not
merely the conventional cam
paign orator's viewing with
alarm. The RELATIVE po
sition of the United States in
the world wide balance of
forces has declined markedly.
In one place after another,
not only in Cuba, in the Con
go, in Algeria, in Laos, in the
management of our alliances,
our diplomacy has become in
creasingly ineffectual, often
.embarrassingly so.
This basic situation, which
Mr. Kennedy is inheriting,
cannot be corrected by ring
ing statements of our inten
tions and of our ideals deliv
ered from the White House
and the State Department. It
cannot be corrected by appro
priating two or three billion
dollars more for the Defense
Department.
It can be corrected only by
bringing once more into bal
ance that most important of
all our balance sheets-that of
our national power and of our
national commitments.
IT WOULD be not only un
fair to the Eisenhower ad
ministration but also mislead
ing to suppose that the great
changes in our power and po
sition are due solely to what
has not been done in the past
eight years. The relative po
sition of the United States at
the end of World War II was
abnormally great-owing to
the prostration of our enemies
and of our allies. We had
more military power, what
with our monopoly of nuclear
weapons, we had more gold
and more productive capacity,
we were more invulnerable
than any other power, indeed
than all the other powers
combined. This could not en
dure. Since the end of the for
ties, when the Soviets explod
ed their first nuclear device
and we organized the Mar
shall Plan, the imbalance
which was once in our favor
has been changing.
Since the Korean war it
has been changing greatly,
and by 1957 or thereabouts,
our RELATIVE military and
economic power in the world
were declining dramatically.
In the campaign Mr. Eisen
hower indignantly denied
this. But the fact is indis
putable. Through vast re
gions of Asia, Africa, and

Can Stevenson Do the Impossible at UN?
By ERIC SEVAREID
By his act in asking Adlai
Stevenson to speak for Amer
ica at the United Nations, John

crat twice fat-
'" ed to carry his
party's weight in hopeless
races against a national hero
is now askqed to perform an
other near-miracle, the most
immediately critical task any
American statesman could
face. He is asked to help re
start the machinery and drive
of the United Nations, now
sputtering closer to complete
paralysis than at any time in
its 15 years.
In the first year of the Ken
nedy regime the world will
find out with finality if the
UN really is to be a powerful
instrument for world order, or
if another dream of peaceable
men is to fade into the mists
like the League of Nations.
Its treasury is virtually
bankrupt, largely because of
. st
lippmann
Latin America our military
power is to a very great de
gree neutralized. And in the
non-Communist world our ca
pacity to finance our foreign
policy is seriously, let us hope
only temporarily, undermined
by the condition of our bal
ance of payments.
In addition, and not least of
all, our prestige in the world
has diminished. We have
ceased to look like a vigorous
and confident nation. We
have alienated great masses
of people, by no means only
peasants, workers, and young
students, by the reactionary
temper and tone of so much
of our diplomacy. Above all,
we have aroused great doubis
of our capacity to lead our al
liances by such gross inepti
tudes as the U-2 affair and the
recent pilgrimage to Bonn.
'
THE CORRECTION of our
military and economic
weakness is the crucial busi
ness of the Kennedy adminis
tration. It will involve not
only the DeDartments of De
fense and of the Treasury,
but also the Department of
Labor ard Commerce. For
there is a critical task to be
done with big business and
big labor in order to increase
our competitive capacity in
the world, which is central to
the problem of our balance of
payments.
The Department of State
cannot do much to augment
our over-all national power.
But it can play a mighty part
in the revision, long since
over-due, of policies and com
mitments which have had
their historical origin in the
radically different situation
of the immediate post-war
years. It will not be easy to
work out the terms of this re
vision. But it can be done by
Mr. Rusk, by men such as Mr.
Stevenson and Mr. . Bowles,
and by the younger men who,
one must suppose, will be put
in the key staff positions of
the State Department and the
Treasury.
Their task is inheritently
difficult in that it involves
fresh estimates of the power
and of the intentions of our
adversaries. It will be an im
possible task if in Congress
and among the public the dog
mas and the doctrines of yes
terday remain frozen and in
flexible. (Copyright 1960 New York
