A great deal of light may be shed on Dwight D. Eisenhower's political philosophy because of a book edited by Sheldon Glueck, Roscoe Pound Professor of Law, which was published yesterday.
Entitled "The Welfare State and the National Welfare," the volume is a collection of essays and addresses by such outstanding Americans as Bernard Baruch, Vannevar Bush, Harry F. Byrd, John Foster Dulles, and Herbert Hoover. It is especially notable however, because it includes several of General Eisenhower's expressions on his political thought.
The collection developed from a conversation which took place between Professor Glueck and General Eisenhower in 1949. Glueck suggested that "it might be helpful to the perplexed citizen at the present juncture in American public affairs if he, General Eisenhower, were to bring out a collection of articles expressing the views of those who are as earnestly concerned with the dangers inherent in the political and economic drifts of the time as he obviously is."
Eisenhower in turn urged Glueck to undertake the task, and showed "much interest in the book's publication."
