European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - January 14, 1969, Darmstadt, Hesse                              Tuesday january 14, 1969 the stars and stripes Page 9 William f. Buckley or. Stirrings on management Union horizon when the big thinker met recently at Princeton University to arrange solution for the galactic problems of the world George Kennan Rote and asked meekly whether they should t Alto concern themselves with Tome problems seemingly minor for instance the failure to devise meant of protecting cities from paralysis by striking labor unions. I was t there but i can imagine the hushed horror that greeted this sober restoration of Hierarchy we ought to figure out what to do about Albert Shanker before we can confidently Dis pose of the problem of Mao tse Tung. And indeed there Are stirrings Henry j. Taylor on the horizon. Nov. Nelson Rockefeller who superintended the passage of an Antii Trike Law the Taylor Law through the legislature in Albany a couple of years ago immediately went on to ignore his own Law in settling the new York City garbage strike last Winter. That Law As originally contemplated would have permitted a judge to set a Fine hefty enough to deter a de fiant Union engaged in an unlawful strike. But the state As Sembly controlled by democrats sensible of the implications of antiunion legislation walked and directed that the Maxi mum penalty should be $10,000 Good Diplomat observes 4 is president elect Richard m. Nixon soon will be nominating ambassadors throughout the world. The process can be highly personal and misunderstood. The decisive thing that interests a chief of state in a Host country is How Well the ambassador stands with the president Back in Washington. Is the ambassador actually close to the president does he really speak for him and is he actually an influence on the president this is what counts famously so. Nothing else comes a close second. If the difference Between a min ister and an ambassador is that a minister is accredited Only to a foreign government Whereat an ambassador is accredited by the president of the . To the chief of state. He is the presi Dent s alter ego in the Host coun try. At such he takes precedence there Over the visiting vice presi Dent Secretary of state or any american official except the president himself. And he serves entirely at the pleasure of the president and thus automatically resigns when a new presi Dent takes Over. Statesmanship i the Art of creating policy. Diplomacy is the Art of executing it. The business of diplomacy is to think things but not always to say them. A Good Diplomat improvises what he says but carefully prepares what he does not intend to say. The four useful is Are Delibera Tion decision discretion and delicacy and mutuality i the opera Tive word. A tops Niy is a Cable from the president or Secretary of state Only to the ambassador. A Uniac it for night action. A Nofort no foreigner is for american eyes Only. Virginia s William Short was the first diplomatic nomination by president Washington to the Senate of the new United states. The 15rtwentry italian were first to establish permanent embassies abroad but net until the Congress of Vienna to 1814 were diplomatic privilege including immunity from Arrett and Taxa Tion edified. The immunities extend to in clude All embassy employees certified by the ambassador to the diplomatic list. When an arrest occurs he immediately invokes diplomatic immunity at the Host country s foreign office. Failure to do so would establish unworkable and dangerous precedents. The foreign office must Call on the police to release the culprit. Then generally the ambassador speaking informally will express hit embarrassment and advise the foreign minister that he is Send ing the offender out of the coun try at once. If not the foreign minister could ask for the offender s recall. And incidentally president Cleveland once requested the British ambassador s recall merely for suggesting to a naturalized londoner How he should vote in our country. The attempt to snatch Opportunity out of trouble is the stamp of the Good Diplomat. He must have a self critical tolerance to opposition. And he must have Long Range goals to keep from being frustrated by Short Range failures. The Best diplomacy is that which Goto its own Way but leaves the other Side reasonably satisfied. It is Good diplomacy to resist keeping a score of victories. In fact a Good Diplomat always leaves the Way open and saddles a horse for his adversary t re treat. The state department and de sense department Are dealing with merely different aspects of the same problem. And the dip Lomat abroad has the function of foreseeing each part of the prob Lem before ii arise. Diplomacy property pursued and executed is like playing Tough Bridge you have to work at it All the time or you Are lost. Respect not popularity in the Host country is what counts. In the shadowy world where Diplo Macy s honors Are generated and granted this along with a reputation for integrity gets the palm.u5 1m in Ltd Fatur Syndicate to opinion i in the a Day. Spread that out among 55,000 school teachers and you have the most exit Nous deter rent in Legal history. The new idea it that an Effort would be made to compute the daily value of the services de Nied and let that figure Tel the limit. Applied to the school situation the statisticians figure that the Cost of the services denied to new York schoolchildren was about $1.5 million per Day. Impose a Fine of such a dimension and Presto no strike. But will the Law pass and in the current mood is effective legis lation possible if you cannot get professor at Berkeley to obey the Law can you get schoolteachers in new York City to obey the Law you cannot legislate compliance. It it a worldwide problem. The big news out of great Bri Tain is that Barbara Castle the minister of productivity and employment of Harold Wilson s labor government has proposed legislation which would seriously hamper just any old anybody s right to strike Fust any old time. One can imagine the Shock. Mrs. Castle comes from the left Wing of the socialist party. It is As though John Kenneth Gal Braith came out for a balanced budget and Eugene Mccarthy for the resumption of the bomb ing of North Vietnam. Among the proposals of mrs. Castle is the Cooling off period introduced in the Taft Hartley act denounced at the time As the slave labor act and vetoed by president Truman who incidentally won reelection a few months later. The proposal with the biggest clout would make work con tracts legally enforceable by either party so that if manage ment a contracted with Union b to do work Over say a two year period and Union b struck be fore that two year period a could go to the courts and ask for damages. It would appear elementary except that one needs to remind oneself that elementary rights have simply not existed in the labor Union Field for years and if is taking a Long hard experience with reality conservatism s Best Friend to bring on reforms which ironically Are now evolving in a labor government. The psychological ramifications of Reform at this level Are enormous. I learn thai on arriving at a particular Campus in California the negro student is ordered to join the Black Stu dents Union. If he declines he is beaten up until he changes his mind. Mutates Mut Andis that is the Way we Are All treated in states that do not preserve the right to work. It is not surprising that those who favor compulsory unionism Are As disposed to disregard the rights of the Community As they Are the rights of the individual. Why not on the general subject we should hear from or. Nixon. Let us however give him a Cooling off period say 90 Days co Washington Star Syndicate. And studies undertaken for our air Force tend to Rule out any extra terrestrial explanation for these ufos sightings Ernest Cuneo Manila shocks the . And a in no to of the and strip Law Rui unit a Suu government. In a crisis far More serious than Vietnam the philippine re Public is taking Steps to dissolve its Alliance with the United Stales. This is More important than a trembling before the fall of the first Domino because the Philip Pines Are islands and not part of the chinese Mainland. Gen. Carlos p. Romulo the National hero has left his Post As president of the University of the Philippines to become for eign Secretary. Me declared that he thought american defense of the Philippines it dubious be cause the american people will not consent to involving their troops in Asia. For this a said he did not blame them. He added however that since the United states wat no longer reliable a an ally the Philip Pines were forced to prepare alternate Fallback arrange menu the suggested first Fallback  Are startling. They indicate a demand reasonably negotiated but a demand never the let for the evacuation of . Bases at Clark Field and Subic Bay. Since 1898, these bases have been the main bastion of . Asiatic defences. This changes the whole military and Diplo Matic aspect of the Western Pacific. It Means that the theory of both american Hawks and doves alike that american sea and air Power is the final major deter rent in the Pacific is unacceptable to our Island ally. If simultaneously Romulo soft ened his position on peking. He indicated Manila will re examine China s admission to the United nations and ordered that the peking government be addressed As the people s Republic of China instead of communist China As in the past. This do Facto recognition of peking and simultaneous expression of Hope of withdrawal of naval and air Powei from . Leases amounts to a breathtaking reversal of the Philippines Basic strategy and pol icy. Great As must be the blow to Washington the Impact on Tokyo must be staggering. The Philippines Are the first sea line of defense for the United states but they Are the soft Underbelly of Japan. It was a military necessity which forced Japan to strike the Philippines simultaneously with Pearl Harbor for the Philippines in hostile hands Are far More dangerous to japanese Security than is Hawaii. A Glazik at the map will clearly indicate that the Philip Pines Are the key to sea and air defense of the vast seas of South East Asia. Right or wrong the verdict of Romulo stripped of its diplomatic language is that he will not Trust the future of his country to an ally who is paper Eagle by sky and paper shark at sea. Clearly the dominoes in Asia Are beginning to wobble. Indo Nesia May have been won in Vietnam and the Philippines May have been lost by the sen ate foreign relations committee in Washington.
