Barry Goldwater is an honest man, his electiotl to the presidency of the United States would mean: a • U.S. withdrawal from the United Nations. • Abolition of the graduated income tax (the more you make, the higher rate of tax you pay). r s t, r y e s g • Repeal of all farm subs dies. But, as columnist Waite Lippmann ha pointed o u "the peculia genius of Am erican politics which is t draw cand dates a w a from extrem positions, i now workin on Sen. Gold water." Ray Argyle What is hap pening today in the Republican party of the U.S. is that its front -running candidate for next year's presi- dential nomination is trying to match his image with the hard realities of public appeal. It is the same sort of process that enveloped Richard Nixon and led his admirers to speak of Nixon's "new maturity" in 1960. It is doubtful whether the process will be any more suc- cessful for Sen. Goldwater than if was for Mr. Nixon. But Mr. Nixon did come very close to capturing the presi- dency in 1960, and if the pres- ent racial crisis in the U.S. worsens before next fall, we can expect President Kennedy to encounter very serious diffi- culty in November. According to the most quali- fied public opinion analysists in the U.S., Kennedy today has an edge of about four and one- half million votes over any Re- publican challenger. With the tide of opposition to the President still rising in the traditionally Democratic "solid south", however, JFK could lose between three and six of the seven southern states he carried in 1960. Sen. Goldwater is already get- ting very heavy exposure in the press and on television in the U.S. His answers to crucial questions sound courageous, forthright and ever -so -simple. Measured against his record in the Congress, however, a dif- ferent image comes through It is one of almost total tnsyeter- ity, glib, paper -thin, uctiP'eason- ing. Sen. Goldwater knows very well that an extreme conserva- tive position on such matters as relations with the Soviet Union (he opposed the U.S. wheat sale), civil rights legislation, welfare state measures, and so on, can never be sold to the broad spectrum of American voters. During the early stages of the senator's campaign build-up, his supporters stressed how nice it would be if the U.S. could have a "real" presidential con- test for a change . . . .a good, old-fashioned conservative spokesman instead of just an- other "me, too" Republican can- didate. But Sen. Goldwater is too adept a politician to commit himself to the inevitable fail - use such a campaign would bring. He wants, as do all men, the fruits of power. He is now engaged in moderating his posi- tion on so many vital issues that the Goldwater of next autumn (assuming he wins the Republi- can nomination) will bear little similarity to the Goldwater of even a year ago. That the Republican Darty is able, indeed forced, to witness this frequent metamorphcsis of presidential candidates, is due to the fact that the party em- bodies no coherent political philosophy. It has not, in fact, since Abraham Lincoln, produc- ed a leader with a real philoso- phy. It is thus not surprising that the Grand Old Party has made such a very slight contri- bution to life in America today. Dublin Colleens Hold Meeting The fourth meeting of the Dublin Colleens No. 1 was held Tuesday. The group collected 90 cents at the last meeting and now have $7.98 in the treas- ury. The Colleens were shown how to alternate patterns and discussed other things concern- ing the making of blouses.
