BI-PARTISAN FOREIGN POLICY
The foreign policy of the United States has been, by
constitutional provision and by custom, almost exclu
sively in the hands of the Chief Executive, who is, and
has been, in a position to commit the United States upon
grave issues without consultation with any other elec
tive representative of the people.
During the stress and strain of the years immediately
preceding World War II the late President Roosevelt,
in an effort to secure bi-partisan support of his policy to
aid the nations against Hitler’s aggression, installed in
his Cabinet two prominent members of the Republican
Party. Subsequently, het bi-partisan approach to inter
national affairs has been much stressed by the consist
ent collaboration of Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, of
Michigan. His recent illness probably helped bring
about a weakening of this rapprochement which cul
minated in the attack of Senator McCarthy upon the
State Department.
It has always been recognized that the United States,
as the world’s most powerful nation, should develop a
consistent policy in foreign affairs. If the relations of
this country to one nation depended upon the outcome
of the elections, it would be impossible to formulate
anything like a permanent program in connection with
international affairs.
TESTING INVASION PLANES
Some idea of the future pattern of warfare will be
tested in North Carolina when the largest airborne ex
ercise in the country’s peacetime history will center
around Camp Mackall.
Some 60,000 troops and 600 planes will participate in
the attempt to transport more than 30,000 airborne and
Captain Eddie Rickenbacker Endorses
American Bible Society Program
Captain Eddie Rickenbacker receives a Bible from Francis Stiller, secretary
of the American Bible Society.
Captain Eddie Rickenbacker again has given his unqualified ap
proval of the annual observance of Worldwide Bible Reading from
Thanksgiving to Christmas. The slogan will be "The Bible—A Light
and Guide." Captain Rickenbacker nas been an active member for
several years of the sponsoring committee of national laymen who
assist the American Bible Society in the promotion of the program.
The committee is headed by President Truman, who is honorary chair
man.
"1 heartily endorse the theme foi 195U," said Captain Rickenbacker,
"and I congratulate the American Bible Society for the outstanding
success of the 1949 celebration when more than 12,000,000 copies of
the reading list of Scripture passages were distributed by the Society
on reouest. Our American people were evidently so deeply impressed
with the value of daily Bible reading that from the Bible Society alone
they have written for over a million copies of a reading list to covet
♦very day of 1950.”
Captain Rickenbacker’s lifelong interest in the Bible was greatly
stimulated by his experience during the war when, with seven other
men, he was adrift on the Pacific for more than three weeks. During
this time a Service Testament, belonging to one of the men, was used j
for daily devotions.
Reds Object to Jap
Aii\ Naval Bases
TOKYO, OP) — Russia Wednes
day asked General MacArthur to
explain military and news reports
that the United States is rebuild
ing key Japanese naval and air
bases.
It charged such rebuilding
would be in violation of Allied oc
cupation policy.
The top general of the Soviet
Mission#in Tokyo presented Rus
sia’s complaint in a letter to Mac
Arthur.
The Russian, Lt. Gen. Kuzma
Derevyanko, cited several pub
lished accounts of how the U. S. j
put new sinews in Japan’s old na
val bases and built “a number of
airfields from Hokkaido to Kyu
shu” which ‘‘can accommodate the
country’s largest bombers.”
Derevyanko quoted retired U.
S. Adm. D. C. Ramsey as saying
in April, 1948, when he was Pa
cific Fleet commander, that ‘‘the
naval bases at Sasebo, Kure and
Yokosuka, together with the
bases on the islands of Okinawa
and Guam, offer a formidable
combination of forward operation
bases in event of any future hos
tilities in the Far East.”
U. S. military authorities said
originally air and naval bases
were necessary to protect Ameri
can and British occupation forces.
Since then they have been declar
ed essential for the protection of
unarmed Japan.

an “airhead,” upon which carrier planes are to land re

The manoeuver, known as “Exercise Swarmer,” will
be a logistic problem—a technical application of the
Berlin airlift under mock-combat conditions. The air

BARTLETT CONFIDENT OF
FUNDS FOR AIRPORTS
f(/P) Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (/P)— Delegate
Bartlett of Alaska said yesterday
he is confident the House appro
priations committee will soon ap
prove an additional $4,500,000 for
construction of airport at Fair
banks and Anchorage, Alaska.
The general appropriations bill,
now under House consideration,
contains $3,200,000 for the pro
jects.
Congress recently approved an
increase to $17,000,000 of the au
thorization for two airports.
The proposed additional appro
priations would bring actual funds
available for the work to that
amount. <
