LBJ Extends Senate Style To Foreign Affairs

WASHINGTON — Because he
Concentrated on home affairs
there has been little chance—
Ipntil now—to see how Presi-
■ent Johnson would operate in
■he foreign field where his ex
perience has been far less,
i But his tactics in the past 10
Kays in trying to get the North
pyietnamese Communists to dis-
puss peace have provided a
priceless and enduring insight
■nto his methods with both
Eriends and enemies abroad,
i He’ll do what he does at
home. While an Air Force uses
saturation bombing, Johnson
tries to saturate people with
lersuasion and pressure. It was
;his, and his persistence, which
nade hims this century's best
senate leader.
Now, to get the Communists
alking, he has saturated the
(-world with publicity of his ef
forts and foreign capitals with
his emissaries.
I In the Senate his policy was
: simple and realistic: Get all you
Bean; if you can’t get it all, get
I'as much as you can, even if it
means compromising, for some
thing is better than nothing.
Johnson hasn’t compromised
in foreign affairs yet if only be
cause so far he hasn’t had to.
There may be some situations
in which he can’t—Viet Nam,
perhaps — but that’s to be seen.
The classic example of John
son as the persuasive technician
was in the passage of the Civil
Bights Act of 1957, the first in
this century. He compromised
to soften Southern resistance
which had stopped such legisla
tion in the past.
This angered some Negroes
whose emotions made them over
look this central point:
Southern resistance would nev
er be the same again, the civil
rights forces now had their foot
in the door, and the next steps
would be easier and stronger.
And they are.
Again the astonishing record
of Congress in 1965 on major
legislation — like medical care
for the aged and federal aid to
education, long regarded as im
possible — was the product of
Johnson’s ceaseless maneuver
ing, made easier, of course, by
the vast Democratic majorities.
Once Johnson determined to
make this effort for peace talks,
his use of emisaries to foreign
capitals would probably have
followed exactly the same course
if there had been no publicity
and all was done in secret.
The publicity put extra pres
sure on the Reds while serving
some other useful purposes for
Johnson.
If the Communists ignore his
efforts, they risk looking like
fanatics and losing some or much
of the sympathy they have here
and elsewhere.
While the emissaries put pres
sure on the leaders they visited
to do what they could to bring
about discussions with the Reds,
the publicity in general was an
I obvious effort to persuade the
f world of American good inten-
r tions.
And, because of the publicity,
if Johnson’s efforts fail, there
can be less complaint here or
I abroad that he is war-minded or
unyielding.
And all the news of Johnson’s
I efforts should help him in Con-
; gress where he is going to have
to ask lots more money to carry
on the war.
A Commuriist rejection will
deprive those in Congress who
oppose the war or an increase in
war spending of much of any
argument that, before he seeks
more funds, he should do more
to seek peace.
