says Americanism is based upon
Tolerance - racial and religious"
whereas dictatorship is based upon
''hste-racial religious and eco
non,ic." Z
II you know the Alabama MEM
Der OF the ruthless Dies committee
or anything OF his activies on the
powerful house appropriations COM
mittee, his speech on freedom and
security in democracy made be-
fore the graduating class OF the
University OF Alabama on March 6.
in which he tells you the stuff Of
which Americanism is made, will
either make you laugh or make you
cry. He defines this character in
this language:
"AmericaniSm means state which
Is wholly subordinate to the will
OF the people, Americanism means
decentralizatio OF authority ir gov
eminent States rights. Ameri-
canism is a rotation of officeholders
as a resuk OF free elections. Amer
icanism rejects the idea that the
majority may cxercls, a tyranny
over the minority. In Americanism
the discipline of the individual is
self-imposed.
The threats to Americanism do
not arise from foreign armies alone.
The experiences OF this generation
have shown beyond any doubt that
the enemies within country may
be and often are more dangerous to
its welfare than are the enemies
without. Us he kiddin'D"
This was the clincher that he
handed the class: so long as you
retain a spirit OF intellectual mod
esty you will honestly and fearlessly
seek after knowledge and ~ truth.
An open mind is the gateway to
the road OF enli ghtenment. You will
have your chance TO meet and de-
stroy the forces of hate, intolerance,
and dictatorship at a thousand dis
puted barbados. This class, this
generation, has a rendezvous with
destiny -. Amen! -

The Great Game of Politics.

inevitably again led to war. Such
a peace will follow this war If we
go about making it in the usual way
and without a transition period.
Treaties Won't End Wars.
The other 1ndisputable Hoover
point is that out of five thousand
years of war an illusion has been
built up in the human mind that
war can be ended and peace made
by signing piece of paper. In
stead, these hastily drawn docu-
ments-drawn while hate is still hot
and emotion runs high-have usual
ly become the prospectus of re-
newed war.
OF course, the essential founda-
ton of Mr., Hoover's program is
agreement among Great Britain,
Russia and ourselves. Everything
depends on that and, of course, the
President and Mr. Churchill are fully
aware of the fact-fully aware, too,
that this agreement must be made
before Germany is beaten and the
war ends. To this end, they seek
conference with Mr.. Stain.
Russian cooperation is completely
indispensable-but to gain that CO.
operation some very practical meas
ures must be taken, concessions
made and compromises effected. The
problems ahead are multitudinous
and vast. Victory comes first, of
course, but victory is now inevitable
and to delay agreement on q pre-
liminary postwar program until the
surrender comes is obviously perilous
in the extreme.
Mr.. Hoover offers a concrete, log
ical plan that will hold the world
together while the right solutions
OF the great basic questions are
sought. 1t would be fine if the
PRESIDENT, instead OF rejecting it be-
cause Mr.. Hoover proposes it, should
make it his own-or at least use 1t
as base.
1t would be fine, too, if the Repub-
lican policy planners who meet this
week at Mackinac Island, should
follow suit. Thus the whole busi-
ness Of foreign policy could be elm
mated from the coming campaign.
Thus public sentiment would be con-
solidated. Thus the Nation would
be solidly behind its President in
dealing with international affairs
and the political fight here next
year centered, as it should be, on
domestic issues.
Evening star., 1943-09-06

plans concerning our present
and future operations and it
knows the sizes of the Allied
armies overseas and at home
and also possesses the exact
figures on production of war
materials.
Those in Washington con-
nected with distribution Of the
war materials produced in this
country say that none of the
Russian requests has ever been
refused or delayed beyond the
physical obstacles which occa-
sionally delayed delivery of war
supplies or foodstuffs.
None of the Russian requests
has been questioned. This Gov
ernment acted as an efficient
mail order establishment. AS
soon as, orders were placed they
were rushed to the Soviet as
quickly as possible.
AS far as the actual military
effort of this country Is con-
cerned we overlooked the pos
sible advantage of defeating the
Japanese first. When our ground,
sea, and air forces became strong
enough to allow us to take the
offensive, they were rushed
across the Atlantic rather than
the Pacific where until 8 few
months ago Gen. Macarthur
had to operate on shoestring.
Political Consideration.
The voices of some of the Amer
lean strategists who wanted to
crush Japan first were stified. On
several occasions political consid-
erations took precedence over
military logic.
The Soviet government may be
correct when it maintains that
the Mediterranean campaign is
picayunish and OF no use to them
and say that forces now operat-
ing in Italy would have been
more useful had they been sent
into Western Europe.
This point of view is shared by
many American military men,
but 1t is not now possible to
change our plans. The Russian
general staff is fully aware that
the large bodies of troops being
sent across the Atlantic will be
used for cross-channel operations
as soon as our strength is suffi-
cient.
The American leaders think of
these points when they read the
frequent dispatches in which the
Western Allies are openly accused
of doing nothing to put a quick
end to the war.
President Roosevelt and his

ton. For, although the behavior
and foundations of Mr.. Pearson
were, to my mind, indefensible,
there are many of us who share
some of his opinions.
1t is an old trick of politics
to attack a general tendency
through It's weakest representa-
tive, at a moment when his foot
slips.
If. instead of mailing down Mr..
Pearson when he had made him.
self extremely vulnerable, reac-
ton perhaps not wholly worthy
of the head of this great Nation,
the President had used the op-
portunity to clarity our policy,
his words would have been well
coined by all the editors and
writer's of the country.
Mr.. Pearson's extraVagant
statement would have had no
Importance whatsoever had there
not been so many unanswered
questions and unexplained ac-
tions which led him to make his
aggressive deduction.
1t is not In an aggressive spirit,
but rather with serious concern
that one must observe the dete-
rioration of relations between
White House, State Department,
and press.
Attitude Unjustified.
That the press and its writers
are fallible, and that in some
quarters there is positive i'll will
toward the administration, does
not justify the manner in which
the administration deals with the
press.
The administration repeatedly
uses certain OF its members in a
way that we journalists consider
unethical. In case after case
privileged information has been
granted to certain writer's, in
cluding actual state papers which
they alone have been given the
opportunity of publishing at great
economic benefit to themselves.
Thus the administration many
months ago turned over to two
able journalists the material of
what amounted to an official
White Paper on the diplomatic
prelude to the war, and more
recently a special writer for a
weekly magazine was given ac-
cess to confidential diplomatic
files on the North African situ-
alton. .s s57
This. is means Of publishing
official material without taking
official responsibility. 1t is also a
means of rewarding the useful"
and Furnishing the critical-and
even perhaps of turning the
critical into the useful.
