C„ Thursday, October 6, 1966 SENATOR STRQ URMOND ' Reports fUKlLS OF XHt POLITICAL SEASON EACH DAT u IT BECOMES more apparent that decisions on national affairs are being heavi ly influenced by their antici pated political impact Public opinion must and should be a factor in the decision making process of government, for it is an important element in the functioning of a self-governing society. This is no justification, however, for manipulation, de ception, withholding of infor mation from the public or for la -minute grandstand plays with governmental action tail- orded expressly for impact in the political season. T IE GNAWING PANGS of inflation symptomize a crucial illness of the nation’s economy which can be arrested and ul timately cured only be drastic and immediate surgery on the bloated level of domestic spend ing by the national government. Instead, fear of the fever of the political season has limited treatment to pious lectures in the best bedside manner about economizing in governmental operations. It is an open secret that after the passing of the political season, the nation will quickly get radical treatment dictated by a wrong diagnosis —a tax increase. Meanwhile, the flames of inflation will burn ever brighter on the fuel of massive spending programs such as the $1.75 billion expected to be maladministered this year in the name of the “war on poverty.” ONE OF THE MOST CRU CIAL of the major internation al problems concerns the future course of what is now the shambles of the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance. American troops are being withdrawn from France at the dictates of DeGaulle. The United States is struggling with a sapping bal ance of payments deficit which is being worsened by the costs of maintaining large numbers of U.S. troops in Europe. The United States is demanding that Germany pay a larger share of these costs, but it is at the same time unwilling to give Germany a meaningful voice in NATO nuclear defense policies for fear of offending Russia, The extreme urgency of this problem is overridden, however, by the impact of the political season, both in the United States and in Germany, and it is obvious that no action, no decision, no remedy will be forthcoming until after elec tions. NOT EVEN THE WAR In Viet Nam is immune from the Impact of the political season. The American public Is being shielded from the harsh reali ties of the status of the war. Despite the buildup of United States forces In the combat zone to more than 810,000, the Red buildup in South Viet Nam continues to accelerate. Com munist troops from the North are now pouring South at a rate In excess of 6.000 per month. Because it Is the poli tical season, the American pub lic is being sheltered from the fact that current planning calls for doubling the American forces In Met N>m—beginning after the election. MORE OMINOUS than any of these are the prospects for political season peace feelers by our government. Hopes that the political season could pass without a grandstanding action of juggling peace hopes were dimmed substantially by Am bassador Goldberg’s speech at the opening of the U.N. Gen eral Assembly in which he ad vanced the most conciliatory plan yet offered by the United States for terminating the war in Southeast Asia. This speech was followed by the announce ment of the Manila Conference on Viet Nam beginning on Oc tober 18 to be attended by the President ‘ personally. All the signs point to the probability of a political season peace of fensive. IT IS BAD that such actions may falsely raise the hopes of Americans for peace only to have them dashed down from greater heights after the poli tical season ends. Of far worse consequence, however, is the confidence which may be in spired in the Communists there by, to think that the United States is tiring of the war and will eventually throw in the towel. Any action which en- co urges the Communists to think that success will eventu ally reward their so-called “wars of national liberation” lessens the chance for an event ual end to such conflicts. Al ready, elaborate preparations for new “wars of national lib eration’* are being made in such places as the bristling Red fort ress of Cuba. IF SELF-GOVERNMENT is to work effectively in the United States, it becomes in creasingly apparent that Amer icans must learn to beware the perils of the political sea son.
