Battalion Editorials Page 2 THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1951 Acheson—In or Out?. THE FATHER OF THE BRIDE earlier this • i - i week to map out a grand strategy to pave the way for a showdown attempt to oust Secretary of State Dean Acheson. The heralded GOP attack seems almost certain to touch off one of the most spec tacular legislature battles of the year. Minor ity Leader Edward Martin (R-Mass) told reporters the GOP policy committee, meet ing behind closed doors, discussed “four or five” approaches but came to no decision. Some critics of the Truman administra tion’s foreign policy were urging an all-out assault to get Acheson’s scalp, onc^ and for all, and force the President, who has staunchly defended Acheson, to find a new Secretary of State. Other political strategists have counsel ed a more cautious approach, and several people have suggested that ousting Acheson now would destroy a prime target for the 1952 elections. It seems evident that the “Acheson is sue” has the aroma of “smelly” politics. Ap parently the Acheson persecutors have long since decided that he is a failure as Secre tary of State. Yet they are undecided about forcing his ouster now because they fear that is would be an inopportune time from a “vote getting” aspect. We say that if the man is not capable of doing his job and if the GOP, or any other group, has ways of removing him, now is the time to do it. The more airing the “Acheson issue” gets, the more evident it becomes that A prophet is one who studies the trend of events of the past and pro jects the trend into the future. That’s all there is to it. Cotton For Jap War Orphans IGHIYA KONISHI whose father is in the import-export business in Osaka, Japan was a student at A&M last semester. He was taking a course in Cotton Classing. Konishi says that Japan seems to favor the Texas blackland staple cotton over any other cotton which is imported by that country. Trade was built up between Texas cotton exporters and Japan back in cotton’s unre stricted heyday. In 1931 Japan brought in over two-thirds of the Orient’s total import of 3.6 million bales. Texas supplied the bulk of that cotton. In those days, Japan bought 1.5 to 2.3 million bales annually. Joseph J. Miller, cotton shipper of Hous ton, has announced that he is giving the first bale of the 1951 crop to Japan so it can be auctioned for the benefit of Japanese war orphans. That was a fine gesture on the part of Mr. Miller. Texans owe little more to Japan than friendly relations. But with this gift from the cotton minded people to Japan will be highly beneficial to that country’s war orphans. Words have a different meaning to different ears, so be careful how you use them. the GOP is more interested in getting votes than it is correcting any fault that it finds with the present administration. The administration of Truman has many faults. People seem to be dissatisfied with its narrow-mindedness and wishy-washy for eign policy. The GOP, however, overlooks some of the administration’s worst faults and adapts a narrow-mindedness all its own by making a scape-goat out of a man who is still trying to do his job. If you do not expect an extra favor from another you can be a free mayi.
