Interpreting News
by J. M. Roberts
A. P. News Analyst
This is >a -season in both do
mestic and foreign affairs when
a man has every right to be
confused.
A friend of mine has a sign
under the glass on top of his
desk which reads: “If you can
keep a level head in all /this
confusion you just don’t under
stand the situation.”
The difficulty, of course, lies
3K>t so imuch in the situations
themselves as in the variety ol
official and semi official o
(pinions expressed regarding
thetm’.
■Several courses are open to a
man deluged with these opin
ions. He can believe nothing he
hears and only half of what
he sees. He dan find, in the end
less variety of expressions, al
most anything that he wants
to believe.
Or he can search for the mo
tives of the pundits, political
or otherwise, and try to refine
a litte horsesense out of a lot
of hogwash, a scientific pro
blem with some of the aspects
of trying .to add apples and
spears.
For instance, one of the chief
allied reasons for entering the
late lamented negotiations
with Russia at -Geneva was to
test Russians intentions. The
tests revealed the indentions to
be the same as usual — no a
greements except on terms
which would aid communists ex
pansion.
Yet President Eisenhower,
secretary Dulles and premier
Bulganin are all saying, in ef
fect, that Geneva was only an
initial failure, and that some
thing good will come of it yet.
The (president and the secre
tary, of course, are required by
their jobs to maintain an out
wardly hopeful attitiude, else
they would toe trying to quit
something they cannot quit.
Bulganin, on the other hand,
is making a concrete appeal to
a specific audience wi h his
posture (before the government
and people of India as a firm
believer in ultimate peace.
The British are being more
realistic. Both during and since
the foreign minister’s confer
ence, word from them has in
dicated an aocep ance of Mol
otov’s lessons and the need for
facing squarely a tough situa
tion.
The same contrast is display
ed by political approaches to
international problems on the
home front. Party spokesmen
inject their own colored inter
pretations as the campaigns
move into (gear. It’s always
hat Way. It’s only to be hoped
that America’s allies will re
cognize the hoopla for what it
is. f?'
