No Confidence

Throughout most of three terms the Administration has enjoyed overwhelming press support for its foreign policy. This may have been because of understanding, misunderstanding or indifference. But coincident with a lively interest in the subject, press approval of Administration foreign policy has declined faster than stocks in a Wall Street crash--from 80% support to 20%. As recorded by the Twohey Analysis of Newspaper Opinion, the chief objections are:

P: The U.S.-British failure to clarify a policy toward Europe in general and Russia in particular--a situation which has a depressing effect on postwar talks.

P: The Roosevelt policy toward France and De Gaulle. The press has strongly disapproved the subjection of a postinvasion regime of France to General Eisenhower's arbitrary decisions.

P: Censorship: the press heartily approved Palmer Hoyt's suggestion for a Senate investigation of censorship.
