Lights go out for American policy
By RIchard G. Growald
WASIUNGTON (UP!) - A visitor
to President Ford's Oval Office
noted the electrically lighted globe
given the chief executive by his National
Security Council staff.
It was unlit. The plug had been
pulled and the globe was dark.
It fit, perhaps, the state of the
world as viewed from the Oval Office.
The lights were going out all
over the globe for traditional postwar
AmericaIJ, foreign policy.
President ford, up to his deficits
in six months of.combating domestic
woe, was discovering a world of
problems perhaps even more difficult
to solve than recession and inflation
at home.
How Mr. Ford handles the domes·
tic, economic and energy problems
may well determine his political fu·
ture. How he handles the new' state of
America's foreign affairs could well
determine the nation's future. It's
that serious.
Situations as well as personalities
that have been constant factors in
international affairs for a generation
are no more.
Even at home in Washington, Mr.
Ford, unique fOI,aPost.World WarII
President, is enduring a Congress
that says no to · once·unchallenged
White House foreign. policy leadership.
1be lawmakers have coopped
foreign aid and, most dramati.cally.
thus far rebuffed the President' s requests
for military aid for South ·
Vietnam and Cambodia.
