Neither reaction, I think, is quite correct. As a considerate thinker, Wilson is quite conscious of the extremity of this position as stated. But he does not desire or expect a reaction of disgust from anyone interested in reading his essay in the first place; the dogmatic force of his statement creates resistance in the reader, who, in examining the idea for its real weaknesses, comes more fully to understand understand the author's meaning...
...simplified European Defense Community. (Later he retreated gratefully to Anthony Eden's compromise Western European Union.) In abruptly canceling the Aswan Dam negotiations he provided Nasser with a public relations excuse for seizing the Suez Canal (which he had long intended to do anyway). Then Dulles, in a correct estimate that Britain and France were on the verge of war over Suez, jumped all too confusingly from one Suez Canal settlement proposal to another in his unsuccessful attempt to stave off the war.

The White House knows that it still cannot depend on Knowland for down-the-line support, but it respects his sincerity of purpose and-because they are always the result of careful thought-his opinions. Ike, carefully cordial toward Knowland, unfailingly calls him "Bill." Knowland, carefully correct, unfailingly calls Ike "Mr. President." In the privacy of his office Ike sometimes grows hot under the collar when Knowland challenges a cherished White House plan, but the President is a confirmed Constitutionalist and neither asks-nor expects-Knowland to toe the executive line. On one vital point...
