Stevenson's voice called for a negotiated abandonment of the islands —for a policy which would make it clear to the American people why we are defending Formosa He was hooted down if Sen William Knowland (R-Cal- ) then majority leader for the administration was known as "the senator from Formosa" He headed up in articulate powerful "China lobby" Stevenson was quite right to say the White House did not then dare for do mestic political reasons to worK at any reasonably sensible policy about Matsu and Quemoy — and Asia itself Tht American neonle are not too different from others They want to near only what they like to hear And what they like to hear are the familiar things It comforts them to give ear to old platitudes and reassurances They do not like to be dis turbed bv facts or uncomfort able revelations that what they have been thinking is wrong we see evidence of this today in the Deep South's anger directed at anyone who states the simple truth that states rights are not superior to constitutional rights JEERED HIM Stevenson literally was hooted down In the Congress at the lecterns in civic clubs and in most editorial columns they jeered at him and admonished the peo ple to pay no heed to impractical dreamers or impractical men Today in the early autumn of 1958 even the most obtuse knows that Adlai Stevenson was right as things were m April 1955 when he spoke And let us not forget his utterances on other is sues have all been verified ny events What he proposed could have ' been done Today is another story In the three years that have passed since he spoke our Asian policy has not imnroved it has deterio rated Today we support the Pres poident m his sition But few Americans are hannv about the orosDect of de fending Quemoy and Matsu The need of it they can see isut tew believe we shold' have been brought to the necessity of such a tosition It is tragic that the nation did not have the intelligence experience and understanding of Adlai Stevenson in some high place of government decision -
