Before U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower left Europe he was genuinely puzzled when certain of his visitors went away saying that in domestic politics he was to the right of President William Howard Taft. The visitors, coming from the U.S. where it has become customary to tag everyone as being right or left, had seen in some of his customary views evidence of a rightward domestic political inclination. The confusion really arises out of the fact that Eisenhower is not at all to the right of Taft, but rather about 40 years behind Taft in applying his own personal inclinations to the actual problems of the country today. He has an ability to express his ideas with an intensity and enthusiasm which actually do arouse public confidence and light little fires of hope and faith.
