Foreign Policy And

Domestic Issues

Discussed In Recent Alliance Debate

Continued from Page 1

Charles Mack social and economic
issues.

‘According to Pat, the Republican
and Democratic civil rights planks
are- very similar this year. The
Republican platform, however, was
much stronger in 1952, coming out
unequivocably for ending lynching,
the poll tax, and for the adoption
of REPC. Since then Eisenhower
has expressed his personal opposi-
tion to FEPC and also said in re-
lation*to the Supreme Court de-
segregation decision “I think it
makes no difference whether I en-
dorse it or not, it is the law of the
land.”

In reference to the “part time
president” the Democrats. claim
Eisenhower is, Pat said that Eis-
enhower was out of Washington in
many times of crises such as the
shipping of tanks to Saudi Arabia.

‘Misenhower’s promise to delgate
even more responsibility in the fu-
ture does not reassure Pat as to
Eisenhower’s performance in the
presidency.

Dorothy Innes feels that in farm
policy the Republicans approached

“cc

the solution to the problems of.

overproduciton, surplus and low
farm income.

Working in the best interests of
the country the Republicans have

introduced a soil bank plan which



will keep acreage out of produc-
tion and aid conservation,

The Presidential veto of the
‘Democratic Farm bill was inter-
preted by Dorothy as opposition
to the proposal which increased
government surplus and govern-
ment control. The Republicans
aim to raise prices in the market,
but not by artificial means which
imply higher taxes.

John Bernstein, in answer to
Dorothy, gave figures to show the
bad state of agriculture under the
Republicans. Farm prices have
dropped 25%. since 1952 while the
farmers’ costs have risen:3%. At
the same time Eisenhower talks of
giving the farmer a fair share of
national income. Q

KisenhoWer’s water commission,
which includes people like Charles
E. Wilson and Ezra Taft Benson,
reported that the farmers were
badly off but that the commission
don’t know enough to make any
recommendations.

According to the Republican
Haverford. student Charlie Mack,
“the. American people are better
off today than ever before in his-
tory.” Labor and business are tak-
ing home more than ever before;

the Gross National Product is over
400 billion and the economy is ob-
viously stable.

Democrats claim to be the

The undersigned read the letter
from L. Dryden ‘in last’ week’s
College News with great relish.
The only fate worse than being
inisquoted by a reporter is to be
quoted accurately and within con-
text. An erroneous quotation gen-
erally backfires against reporter
and publication. An accurate re-
counting of one’s words lays bare
the awful truth behind intellectual
and emotional limitations hitherto
mercifully obscured; especially at
election time.

So my hat is off to L: Dryden—
if that was really her name.

grams have individual appeal, the
tremendous expense of them can-
not be borne by the economy.
When we turn to the foreign sit-
uation, we see’a world in violent
change, largely’due to the unleash-
ing of the explosive forces of rev-
olutionary nationalism. Today sure-
ly, it is not unwise to pursue pre-

viously adopted policies rather
than to add the further complica-
tions of “new outlooks and new
ideas” merely in the ‘interest of
novelty. We do not see that Dem-
ocratic candidates have demon-
strated their peculiar perspicacity
in the realm’ of foreign affairs,
either as administrators in. power
or advisors out of power. No
Democrat seems willing to advance
specific policies; we feel that crit-
icism of the conduct of foreign
policy is meaningless when no fea-
sible alternatice is proposed.

Eisenhower’s worldwide fpopu-
larity is an asset which should not
be tinderestimated at this time of
grave tension. For the United
States itself to reject this respect-
ed representative of America would
seem to add further uncertainty to
a situation which calls for contin-
uity of such trusted leadership,

USF Contributions

|To Be Determined

Last: year Bryn Mawr students
gave over $3,000 to the United
Service Fund. This sum was di-
vided among the following agen-
cies: American. Friends Service
Committee; World University
Service; National Scholarship and
Service Fund for Negro Students;
Save the Children Federation;
Unitéd Negro College Fund; Inter-
national House of Philadelphia;
and the United Philadelphia Fund.
In November, the USF drive for
the 1956-57 year willfbe conducted.
By having one big drive on cam-
pus, Bryn Mawr is protected from
numerous individual drives’ by
charitable institutions. With the
USF drive students have the op-
portunity to contribute to worth-
while institutions and organiza-
tions.

At an open legislature meeting,
November 19, representatives from
the various institutions will speak
to the college and tell of the.work
of their own charities. Then a leg-
islature vote will decide the list of
organizations to which Bryn Mawr
will contribute this year.

In the past, the legislature has
also decided the percentage of the
total collected amount to be given
to each group, but this year, it is
possible for each student to desig-
nate exactly how much she would
like to give to each institution.
