First came the movement, spearheaded In the
Bif-Seven by K-State, for the organized houses
to donate their Homecoming funds to the Na
tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Then
the members of Tan Kappa Epsilon began the
drive on this campus and have been joined, to
date, by Alpha Omicron Hii, International House
and Alpha Gamma Rho.
Several organized houses decided that Home
coming was a tradition worthy of being retaineS
: despite the desperate need for polio funds. Other
campus organizations decided that they would still
go ahead with their Homecoming decorations and,
In addition, carry out some project for pay the
result of which would be donated to polio.

To the people that may never walk again, The

Gen. Eisenhower (1) suggested during his Amer- ess peaceful ways by which the task of the Rus
ican Legion speech that he favored a plan for sjan despots can be made so unbearably difficult
liberating people behind the Iron Curtain and (2) that they will renounce their rule.
Despite the clarification of the Eisenhower lib
eration statement, Stevenson took the opportun
ity to define his own ideas on foreign policy.
"The contest with tyranny is not a hundred
ard dash," he said. "It is a test f endurance."
"With 85 of our budget allocated to defense,
it is the Soviet Union which now fixes the level
of our defense expenditures and thus our tax
rates. The only way to emancipate ourselves from
this foreign control ... is first to develop our
strength, and then to find the means of ending
the armament race."
He stated further: "Coexistence is not a form of
passive acquiesence in things as they are. It is wag-
accused the Administration of having "bungled
us perilously close to World War III."
On the first point, he declared: ". . . We must
not abate our efforts until we have banished
from the free world the last probability of Com
munist aggression . . . We must tell the Kremlin
that never shall we desist in our aid to every
man and woman of those shackled lands who
seek refuge with us, any man who keeps burn
ing among bis own people the flame of freedom
or who is dedicated to the liberation of his
fellows . . .

This information has been prepared for distri
bution to the public by the Democratic National
Committee so that "America can win with the
Democrats in '52." It is part of a book which the
Democrats wrote called "a book of facts . . . de
signed not only for the Democratic campaigner But
fofevery American concerned with his or her
I future." The book was delivered to The Nebraskan's,
offices Tuesday and a quick investigation revealed
that the Democratic authors were not very clear
at certain points in the "book of facts." One of the
favorite tricks is to use a partial quote and infer
that it explains that man's whole political beliefs
ajaaCiescribes the evil of the Republican party.
Politically, The Daily Nebraskan favors the
Republicans. We are not alone in the world of

read It all and we don't intend to, but we have
read the sections which pertain to students of

about America's youth was quoted at the begin
ning of this editorial. Let's look at that quotation
and see if it holds up.

Besides claiming to offer a "far better pro
pect for peace," the Democratic book maintains
that the Republican party is dominated by
"garrison-state isolationists." In view of the fact
that the candidate for the party is an interna
tional general it is hard to see how isolationism
would be a party standby. It is very true that
Sen. Robert Taft almost fits into the category
described by the book. However, the senator was
not nominated and most of his backers- rather
than dominating the party with policies have
supported the general's policies.
The Nebraskan realizes that this editorial
'Negotiation' ...
Both candidates thus stressed "peaceful means"
but Stevenson placed an equal amount of em
phasis on "endurance," patience," "compromise,"
"negotiation" and "adjustment."
This negotiation policy ties in closely with the
Democratic policy in Korea, where "we went into
the truce talks because we want the door to peace
according to "How to Win in
'52," Democratic campaign handbook.
"Our guard has remained up throughout the
truce talks. The 'lull' in fighting has avoided thou
sands of casualties. The time gained has worked
in our favor."
(The second article on foreign policy will con
cern Asia, with particular emphasis on Korea
and China.)
Once Over Lightly
'What This University Heeds
Is A Good Humor ttlagaiine'
It's Korea's War
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's statement that he
thought Korea should be taught to defend herself
and that American forces should be withdrawn as
soon as the Koreans can be prepared gives this
writer a small amount of satisfaction from what
has heretofore been a very unsatisfactory cam
paign. Democ ratio forces no doubt use this opinion
as confirmation that the Republicans are "anti
quated isolationists" and point to it as proof that
Eisenhower has "surrendered" to Taft forces.
The Daily Nebraskan believes this is the only
rational Asian policy for the United States to
r follow. Whatever got us Into this mess is too ob

James Lawrence, editor of the Lincoln Star, said
