No Mandate
Wrifcinjr in l'. S. News & World Report,
just after the election. David Lawrence
said: "This is the time when \vc are all ex
horted to let bygones be bygones and to give
our new leader the wholehearted support of
all the people. Rut it is a time for more than
mere exhortation to the populace. It is a
tinn to remind the successful party and the
victorious candidates for all ofnees that elec
tions do not settle fundamental issues but
■merely serve as vivid reminders of the diver
sity of interests'-and pressures that make up
the modern political struggle.”
This is not a carping observation. It takes
nothing away frory Senator Kennedy's vic-
’•tory. Rut it does si>otlTght a development ot
a unique nature. This presidential election,
unlike any other presidential election of mod
ern times, supplied, absolutely no mandate
for a party or a candidate. The popular vote
was practically evenly divided between Mr.
Kennedy and Mr. Nixon. A switch of a hand
ful of votes would have swung the scales the
other way.
Mr. Kennedy has been charged with an
awesome responsibility—to keep this coun
try strong, secure ami free in a a chaotic
and unpredictable world. Rut neither he nor
am one else has been directed by 1SU million
people to make sweeping and revolutionary
changes in the philosophy on which this rrm
non was built, and which has made it great.
The highly vocal advocates of an ever-ex
panding, ever-more-costly welfare state, got
nowhere in this vear’s historic election.

Systems And Race Horses
There never was an economy in history
that didn't have its ups and downs. Neither
a system nor a race horse can run indefinite
ly at all-out speed. It is easy to emphasize
the periodic downs that occur in our econ
omy. and to minimize the ups. The result of
that is to paint a false ami deceptive pic
ture. £
Over a span of time this country ^as reg
istered an amazing amount of material
progress. Some little time ago Senator Gold-
water presented a group of "demonstrable
truths” .— and they are truths that have
no.tiiing to do with partisan politics, or with
the party labels of people in high office.
Hq, reports that in lt>52 our gross national
product was s'.'MT billion—this year it will be
some $505 billion. In the same period almost
8 miilion 4 morc^merleans have been gain
fully employed and the average weekly wage
has risen from $67.1)7 to $91.20. In 1952 we
had $85 uiiuon on deposit in various kinds
of banking institutions—in 1959 the figure
was $157.8 billion.
So it goes—with striking progress in all
manner oi diverse fields — hospital insur
ance, life insurance, school room construc
tion and the output of goods and services of
every conceivable kind.
Endless other statistics could be added. To

Iron Curtain nationals who control vital parts of
the U. N. apparatus.
Nor is the United States representation in the
U. N. secretariat whfd one would want. Ralph
Bunche, who received an enormous political build
up in the U. S., has a long history of association
with leftist groups. Bunche was an organizer of
the National Negro Congress, a group which fell
under communist control. He was an editor of a
Marxist magazine. In that period, he declared
that "white and Negro workers must . . . lock
arms and march shoulder to shoulder in the
struggle for the liberation of the oppressed work
ing masses.” This is the man who represents
the USA in the U. N. secretariat.
It would be tragic "if the next President, with
the approval of Congress, entrusted the spending
of hundreds of millions of dollars furnished by
U. S. citizens to an agency heavily infiltrated by
communist representatives. These officials hope
to enslave the very nations they profess a desire
to help.
During the next administration and in all the
years to come, the United States must depend on
its own efforts and agencies to promote its se
curity. It must never place its trust in an edifice
such as the U. N. where communists and neu
tralists are masters of the house.
