Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-11-12

democracy, but dictatorship, IN
one of its Fascist, Communal or
Socialist forms.
DOTH Hitler and Mussolini,
ID and no doubt TOTO, all oper-
ate on the self-assumption that
their one-man rule is for the
common man of their countries.
Our kind of democracy. how
ever. is rule by the common
man, not rule Of the common
man by one man or group
of men. Govern entS are
chosen by free election.
Wallace described new thing
he called "ethnic democracy" as
the point TO which both Russia
and the United States are pro-
crossing. Webster,s-first defini-
ton for ethnic is:
pertaining to the gentiles,
not converted to Christianity;
heather, pagan; opposed to both
Jewish or Christian"
I know Wallace did not mean
that. He used the word for its
second definition:
Relating TO community OF
physical and mental traits I'm
races, or designating groups of
races of mankind Disseminated
on the basis of common customs
and characters"
That is fine idea. but "a
community of races is a mutual
affair, II cannot be one-Sided.
a friendship or a love of human
ity, which is one-sided, is an
arrangement in which one party
is a fool.
CTALIN sent no congratula-
~ tons TO President Roosevelt
praising him on the ideals of our
democracy last July 4. On our
independence Day. Stains sec
ond man, Molotov, made no
speech in Moscow lauding the
democratic ideals of George
Washington, or our constltu-
tional freedom. or the Atlantic
Charter. or saying how close he
was getting TO our ways.
Obviously, Wallace's pretty
picture lacks substance. 1t is
not founded on obvious facts.
If the new international bank,
and the international IVA he
recommends, are to be founded
on the same basis, they will be
lust as one-Sided-at our eX-
pense, with the use of our
money.
The way Russia has fought
this war will never be forgotten.
No one has surpassed her in
valor in all history.
But. the postwar world must
be erected on concrete founda-
tions. not by blurring over the
facts. The work must be done
on the basis of mutual accept
ance. if it is to last. 1t must be
genuine.
JOSEPH MARTIN quit as Re-
y publican national chairman
becaus he was tired of the
struggle. He felt he had been
let down financially. He could
not raise enough money TO do a
good job, and apparently he
blamed the struggle within the
national committee between the
Willkie and anti-Willkie forces
for that unhealthful state of af-
fairs.
A recent canvass inside the
national committee indicated
Willkie could poll a maximum
of 25 votes, not enough TO domi-
nate, but enough to be an inn
portant influence. His candidate
for the Craftsmanship is supposed
10 be young Kenneth Bradley of
Connecticut, sponsor Of Clare
Booth Luce.
LiklieSt successor 10 Martin in
Washington eyes. however, is
Werner Schroeder. lawyer. life

Last year Martin smoothed
over the inner conflict between
these forces by remaining on as
chairman. Now there will be a
fight TO a showdown with the
odds against Willkie.
