ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. IA (UP)

MEANING AND INTENT

MEANING AND lNIENl
Dewey, Berle asserted, ripped
a single sentence from a section
dealing with the danger of a
closed capital market" and used
it to misrepresent entirely the
meaning and intent of the memo
randum.
The Asst. Sec'y of State told
Mr.. Roosevelt that Dewey built
speech on the theory that this
was your program" And added
that "the record shows not only
that this was not your program,
but also that it was not any ones
program. In the circumstances
this was a clear attempt to play
fast and loose with the American
public"

SINGLE SENTENCE
At the same time. Assistant
Secretary of State Adolf A. Berle
Jr. accused Gov. Dewey of lifting
a single sentence from a personal
memorandum of Berle TO the tenn
porary National Economic Com
mittee to misrepresent the Roose-
welt administration as Commu-
nistic.
He charged Dewey with PLAYING
fast and loose with the American
public" by quoting the sentence as
doctrine advocated by the admin
istration though the entire mem
orandum showed the exact con-
trary."
Here is the sentence to which

presidential nominee asserted that

DIRECT FINANCING
Berle declared that he made
that remark in setting out the
danger that the government
might be forced to enter into di-
rect financing of supposedly pri-
vate business if capital was not
used in necessary channels. He
told Mr.. Roosevelt:

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ia 1NS)
The White House today issued
an analysis of recent speeches by
Gov. Dewey, COP presidential
nominee, in which it was said
that the COP nominee used single
sentences from statements OF
army. navy and government off,
Gals as reasons for charges that
the Roosevelt administration made
no preparations for war.
The White House analysis con-
ceded that Dewe correctly
quoted the sentences but COM
pared them with longer passages
from which they were taken.
QUARANTINE SPEECH
The analysis took up as an
example President Roosevelt s
Quarantine the Aggressors
speech at Chicago, Oct. B. 1887,
from which Dewey used this quo
tation of the President:
How happy we are that the
circumstances of the moment
permit us TO put money into
bridges and boulevards
rather than into huge standing
armies and vast implements Of
war"
The analysis by the White
House set forth further that the
President actually sought 10 warn
the nation that forces of inter
national anarchy and warmakers
were loose in the world and that
the United States could not escape
them. The analysis asserted that
the President said right after the
quotation used by Dewey that;
LOOKING AHEAD
81 am compelled and you are
compelled, nevertheless, 10 look
ahead.
The peace, the freedom and
the security Of 80 per cent of
the population Of the world Is
being jeopardized by the re-
naming 10 per cent who are
threatening a breakdown Of all
international order and law"
The analysis also quoted an
: other passage from the same
speech by the President as saying

establishing line Of resistance,
the spirit and power OF the at
tacker IS reduced.
The front may be stabilized.
A war OF attrition may follow.
Thus defeat may be postponed.
This is undoubtedly what the
German high command is striv-
ing for.
II explains the stiff resistance
that the German armies have
put up everywhere, and particu-
larly now along the Siegfried-
Rhine front.
On the other hand, the counter
attacking side has disadvantages
and dangers. too.
IL must rely upon strong re-
serves for the assault.
If the counterattack fails, its
disaster is doubled.
To the original losses are
added the destruction OF part
of the reserves.
The ultimate resistance OF the
force losing counterattack is
weakened.
WHAT is really important in
w these recent German coun-
terattacks is that they are not
succeeding.
They are being repealed and
crushed.
They are costly TO the enemy.
And so far. they show no
promise of stopping the Allied
advance.
They are consuming every
day the enemy's available re-
serves.
Every unsuccessful counter.
attack. then, is TO Allied adj
vantage. for il weakens rather
than strengthens the enemy's
final power.
What seems more probable
than any stagnation of the war,
is the prospect that the armies
under Gen. Eisenhower are
building up their resources and
supplies for an assault upon the
German positions that will not
be stopped.
Due TO its strength il will not
be checked by counterattack
because the enemy's reserves
will be gone
No one should now be pessi.
miStic just because the tre-
mendous speed of the Allied
advance has slowed; IL was not
expected that that pace could
be maintained.
And we should remember that
when the final drive does come,
Eisenhower has strong reserves,

THE Hearst newspapers are re-
l. printing on their editorial pages,
beginning today, series of four
articles containing excerpts from the
reports of leading newspaper writers
and observers at the Democratic ma
tional convention in Chicago.
All of these writer's are men
whose names are we'll known to the
American people, and whose obser-
vations are competent and authorlta-
tive, and whose writings have
unquestioned prestige and have the
confidence of the people.
All of them are accurate and
trustworthy reporters.
They are trained observers.
They are skilled writer's.
Representative of the FREE
press of America, they exemplify the
RESPONSIBILITY with which the
freedom of the American press
should be and is exercised.
WHAT they observed at the Demo
w cratic national convention is
IMPORTANT.
It is surely what the American
people should KNOW, and are en-
titled to know.
Without exception these trained,
efficient and objective writers and
observers reported that the Demo
cratic national convention was not
conducted by the Democratic party
or even by Democrats.
It was conducted, they agree, by
an organization entirely new In
American politics which is not part
of the Democratic party and not &C
countable to 1.-THE Political Action
Committee of the Congress of Indus
trial Organizations.
And the Political Action Commit
tee, they agree, is RUN BY SIDNEY
HILLMAN, who has no position or
authority within the Democratic
party.
The amazing thing these noted
and reliable writer's observed and re
ported was that Sidney Hillman had
a STRANGLEHOLD on the Demo
cratic national convention.
IL was obviously made possible
by lis controlling influence within
the New Deal administration.
It enabled him to DICTATE the

Roosevelt.
