MacLachlan, Editor of The Long-Islander newspaper, setting out why he intends to vote for Eisenhower. In part: "I am for him because he, and he alone, can lead our nation out of the international mess we are in….the American people are told by their Government that they are no longer masters of their own destiny…that it was inevitable that China should be lost…that we should get into an unending Korean war…that the West should lose great oil reserves in the Middle East…that Africa and…South America should turn hostile to us. Crippling taxes are inevitable….That mood of defeatism, if continued, will spell disaster. The free world is falling apart, and is picked up by Russian Communism, piece by piece….General Eisenhower…has been tested, in war and in peace, and not been found wanting."
