Friday, January 30, 1970 Confronted with a new na tional mood and changing pri orities, the President's State of the Union Address eloquent ly presented the challenges of the new decade. The Address, however, did not blueprint pro posed solutions to our prob lems. The Chief Executive said he would propose his re medies in a dozen or more spe cial messages to the Congress later in the session. There was much common ground between the sentiments W. C.

With respect to foreign policy, he called for an end of the Viet nam war through a Just peace. He announced also that his for eign policy would deal with the realities of a world that has changed much in the last 25 years, and said the time has come for us to "reduce our Involvement and our presence in other nations' affairs." In essence, what the President appeared to be saying was that we have strained our economy and our resources in trying to act as the world's policeman, an opinion which I have ex pressed many times during the last two decades. The two other key Issues mentioned by the President- inflation and crime control— certainly strike a responsive note in the minds of Americans. I am gratified that the Presi dent announced that he would present a balanced budget for fiscal 1971. He correctly blam ed deficit Federal spending which has occurred in many prior years as the cause of to day's rising prices. In call ing for a broad attack on crime, tlie President was emphasizing a new what most Americans have urged for some time. It should be remembered, how ever, that neither of these most pressing domestic problems has yet beenresponslvetoslm- ple rhetoric. Any relief in these areas will require toe coop erative efforts of our entire governmental stucture.

The President laudably gave environmental pollution control a priority status in toe Ad ministration's catalogue of programs. Unquestionably, there is much need to continue the major programs enacted by the Congress in this area in re cent years. There was some friction between Congress and toe Administration at toe last session when Congress raised the budget request for anti pollution control. It remains to be seen just how toe President will seek to implement existing Federal efforts to purify the air we breathe and the water we drink. While toe President advo cated new solutions for most of toe nation's ills, and should be commended for so doing, his message shed no li^t on one of the most troublesome prob lems of this hour—toe crisis of toe public schools and what we should do to Improve that situation. It would have been laudable if the President had urged that we take a realistic approach to this problem al so. Indeed, it would be re freshing if toe nation embark ed upon a new policy which emphasized education as the prime function of the public schools.
