Once again the great game of whistle-stopping and stump speaking has begun. Political parties are gathering themselves together with an eye toward next November 7 and the 82nd congress.
BI-PARTISANSHIP
by Kay O'Connor
In this traditional American game each party picks one or two major issues to kick around as much as possible. And this year possibly the best issue which can be chosen is the present lack of a bi-partisan foreign policy and the accompanying accusations of communism in the state department.
There are two sides to blame for the present lack of such a foreign policy. The administration has shifted since the start of the Chinese situation from a policy of bi-partisanship built up through Roosevelt's administration to a policy of leaving out the minority in congress.
Responsibility for the loss of bi-partisanship should also be placed on the congressional minority. The constant jawing of such senators as McCarthy, Wherry, and Taft shows the world too clearly that there is no unity in the international decisions made by the United States. The long illness of Senator Vandenburg and the withdrawal of John Foster Dulles into New York state politics removed two of the leaders of the co-operative policy and left it fairly free for the buzzards to pick over.
In their absence no minority leaders were picked by Truman as consultants. The minority program toward our foreign policy seems to be to pick on everything and praise nothing.
It is vitally important today that there be a bi-partisan formulation of United States foreign policy. It is equally necessary that the foreign policy not be used in the coming political football game. The most important reason for preserving bi-partisanship is the effect that it has on American prestige in the rest of the world.
When the United States presents a divided front to other countries on any issue of foreign relations, it hurts the influence of that issue. The western countries worry whether the U.S. will make good the word backed by only half of its political parties. Russia and her satellites merely sit back and smirk.
The main responsibility lies in the hands of the president and the state department. But the major issues should be presented to party leaders in congress for discussion.
Another reason for preserving bi-partisanship is its effect on our domestic affairs. With every further split in congressional opinion of state department actions the American people will lose more faith in them. With a bi-partisan formulation of policy there would be less reason for minority objection and therefore less reaction among the American public.
If both sides of congress had the chance to present their ideas to the state department the faults of foreign policy would become more obvious and could be corrected. This does not mean that all matters of foreign policy should be discussed by the congress; obviously that would take too much time.
Our foreign policy is not a plaything. Both sides of congress are responsible for the present failure of bi-partisanship. Both sides should work to improve it. And both sides should keep it out of politics.
NOTICE
Our sports desk has asked us to remind you that K.U. will open a two-game series with Oklahoma this afternoon. It will be an opportunity for students to see one of the best college teams—aside from K.U.'in the country play.
Attendance at baseball games this spring has been fair but there is still space available, the sports desk says. They suggest that those unable to gain seats in the bleachers might bring along blankets in case the ground is wet.
But whether you get a seat in the bleachers, have to bring a blanket, or must stand, come anyway. The Oklahoma series will be two games worth seeing.
Editing II students in charge of the Daily Kansan copy desk today are Steve Ferro, College senior, and Arthur McIntyre, journalism junior.

They Can 'Nag' This Director
Miami, Fla.—(U.P.)-Arturo de Filippo, director of Miami's Opera guild, said he would just as soon be a horse; they are better off than opera singers. Filippo complained that horses get more newspaper space than opera singers and that more money is spent on horse races than grand opera.
