Spiak can't say some months hence that he hadnlt quite understood the situation, the flreck Government has served notice that it will pay no at- tention to any recommendation that might be made by Mr. Spaak or by anyone else in NATO. The question must go to the l'nited Nations. pre- sumably for long and wcarying dis- cussions to be followed by a series of resolutions which no one will heed. Indeed, unless something more pfflllllxlllg than anything yet brought forward is incorporated into the NATO design. it would seem that the organization is destined to be- come another U.N. in miniature with all the laItcr's frustrations except one, namely, the negatiyistic inflii- ence of the Soviet Union- and even that. of course. will be working in the background. More Cheers Than Boos A dispatch from London says that w hen Sir Anthony Eden arrived at his home in Downing Street, after spending three weeks in Jamaica. he was greeted by "cheers and I few boos" from the small crowd standing around. it seems likely that his reception was indicative of his Immediate future in the political field. There Is, it must be admitted, a fairly large section of public opinion in Britain that Eden's policy in the Middle East has produced nothing but moral frustration, economic aus- and military defeat. But n Riyal deal of this criticism was stirred up by political op g in the Labour Party, and i is no eyiricncc that it is strong enough or Rllffl('lOlllly well nrganizpd in force Sir Anthony to resign. And, even if he should decide to step down voluntarily. it will not mean that the Labour Pzirty will automatically as- sume the responsibilities of Govern- m"'l'- ”"l.l' When a fiovernmcnt is defeated in Parliament is the lender "! ill” nPPMllion called upon to form n t;rwcrrll'flNl?: and this situation the Lahouritcs have not been able to bring about. nor does it seem likely that they will be able to do so in the future ll'ithin the nevi few weeks Sir Alitliuny can he m-pp;-tpd tn (1,, on, of two things. lie will either decide ill 'W"'.V on as Prime Minister, in which case his Government will con- tinue in office for the rest of the term for which it was elected; or he Vi" Nllsn and advise the Qjeen to call on the man of his choice to form I fiowrnmcnt.

Whichever step is decided upon the Labourites have little chance of tak- ing over the Government. which of course was the sole purpose of their harassing tactics. Judging by reports in the British press, whatever anti- Eden sentiment there was at the height of the crisis-not nearly as much as the Labouritea tried to make outwhas been lessened con- siderably by a growing feeling that the Prime Minister's policy was fundamentally sound though it has caused a good deal of economic and political unrest. The feeling now seems to be that conditions would haie been much worse if the British. French intervention in Egypt had not taken place. There are signs, too, that that belief is gaining ground in the United States, lllr. Dullesi am. biguous utterances notwithstanding. Popular Poem In has been estimatcd that each t'hi-istmas season at least one million persons listen to a recital of. or read for themselves, ”A Visit From St. NiL'liolas"--”Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse . . ." This means that in the course of its life the poem has givcn entertainment and cheer to no less than 100 million persons. young and old. This, in addition to the fact that it has been trruislated into all the l-European languages. makes it one of the most popular poems of all time it carries such a juvenile appeal that it might be thought to have been written by a young per- Snn. Actually, Mr. Clement Clarke Moore was in his 83rd year when he wrote it. That he was young in spirit no one will deny. Mr. Moore was the of the Rev. Benjamin Moore, who became rector of Trinity Prot- estantant Episcopal flhunch in New York ("ity and later Bishop of New York. Mr. Moore, however, was more than a writer of popular verse. In the words of Samuel VVhiie Patter- ;-on,Tivhose book "The Poet of Christ- mas" is now being published by the New York firm of Morehouse-Gor- ham, he was "a scholar, at pamph- leteer, a prominent churchman, I. prufcxsoi; and a college trustee as well as a poet." Mr. Moore was the author of a tome entitled "A Com- perlfiillil Lexicon of the Hebrew Language" and for thirty years pro- fcssor of Oriental and Greek Litera- ture at a theological seminary His lexicon has long since gone out of use. but not so his Christmas poem. That is as fresh and vigorous as ever. further proof that it is not al- ways erudite works that perpetuate a scholar's memory, EDITORIAL NOTES Prime Minister Neliiii who has arrived in Washington is reported to be carrying a ”secrct message.” from Premier Chou En-lal to Presi- dent lCiscnhowcr.
