* _ .Vol. 40};yNo. 1 We hope the Republican Party gives more than superficial attention to the Chicago Daily News poll, which indicates that the famous "man in the street" favors pulling out of Koreaâ€"favors the withdrawal ‘ We say we hope the poll gets more than superfiâ€" cial attention because the result of superficial attenâ€" tion probably would be a decision that the Republican Party also favors a withdrawal. Frankly, we don‘t know whether a withdrawal would be wise or not, and we don‘t think the "man in the street" does either. And that is what we think is wrong. _ _ . We think it is wrong that the ordinary people have been kept so in the dark as to what the governâ€" ment hopes to accomplish (if anything) by its various seemingly contradictory policies. If we want to be honest with ourselves, we must admit that either our government itself does not know exactly what the particular aims and designs of the various phases of its foreign policy areâ€"or elseâ€"that it does not trust the people it serves enough to tell them the real reaâ€" sons why our taxes are soaring at home and our men are dying abroad. eA oal e & The government cannot plead "efficiency‘" as a reason for keeping its people in the dark. Of course it is more "efficient" to have these basic decisions made "at the top.". Also, it would have been more "efficient" to end the railroad strike by shooting a few strikers, but we don‘t operate that way here. If the govemn;ent has good reasons for Korea and the rest of its foreign policy, it ought to stop making.with the platitudes and start making with the plain unvarnished truth. We trust the people, and if the government is right, we think it can convince them of its rightness:and win their support. We don‘t think it has it now. We don‘t think it will get it until Congress, which is eloser to the people than any group of political a%pointees, recovers that stature it has lost. The presidency could stand some additional stature too. p e Drâ€" Fritz Redl To Speak At High The Highland Park High school and the P.T.A. are cooperating in RedI to speak on Monday evening, March 12, at 8 o‘clock at the high school..
