Speech
Aspaturian Cites
Bi-Party Agreement
Republicans and Democrats both agree on the basic ele
ments of foreign policy, according to Dr. Vernon V. Aspatur
ian, professor of political science.
In a speech on “Foreign Policy in the 1956 Presidential
Election" before the Young Democrats Club Thursday night,
Aspaturian said that beyond this basic agreement is a wide
range of disagreement. A single abiding interest of all Ameri
cans is the destiny of the Ameri '
can nation in the “jungle of for
eign politics.”
The United States Constitution,
emphasized the speaker, gives
sole responsibility and power for
the conducting of foreign rela
tions to the President. Only he
can assume responsibility, but he
may give some of his powers to
a deputy, namely the Secretary of
State, Aspaturian added. If ca
tastrophies or diplomatic failures
arise, however, the President must
assume ultimate responsibility.
Chinese Calamity
Dr. Aspaturian said he believed
the triumph of Communism in
China to be the greatest diplo
matic calamity in the history of
the American nation.
- “The party in power has the
right to defend foreign policy and
criticize past policies of previous
administrations if the criticism is
restrained to incompetence and
not misconduct,” Dr. Aspaturian
pointed out.
He added that it is legitimate
for the opposition party to attack
i the ability of those who carry out
foreign policy.
Policy is Unique
“Foreign policy, unlike domes
tic policy, is unique,” said Dr.
Aspaturian.
Debate on foreign policy affects
three important groups abroad.
The groups, as stated by Dr.'As
paturian, include our allies, who
isten to various candidates on
the subject; uncommitted powers,
who may make choices on the
basis of campaign oratory; and
the Russians, our antagonists,
who may plan strategy according
to acmpaign platforms.
Dr. Aspaturian told the group
. that all factions in the Demo
cratic party, regardless of their
differences, are uniform on the
, foreign policy issue, and no per
ceptible deviation from party
policies has arisen. If it were not
: for the President, a Republican
i fog in regards to foreign policy
would result due to the opposi
tion or right-wing Republicans
who also tried the same tactics
! in the Truman administration, Dr.
. Aspaturian said.
Outside Constitution
Bipartisanship and non-parti
sanship, he said, cannot be legal
and must be informal, because it
isoutside the judicial framework
of the Constitution.
A non-partisanship program in
volves consultation in all stages
with leading and prominent fig
ures of the opposition party, the
speaker said.
In speaking of present foreign
policy, Dr. Aspaturian judged it
to be on an “even keel,” and
pointed out that a continued ma
jority of both parties were in fa
vor of it.
