TRUMAN VS., TRUMAN
(San Diego Union)

Nice-Presidential Candidate Truman,
promoting the doctrine of Rooseveltian
indispenSability, made this declaration in
one of his first campaign addresses:
THE very future of the peace and
prosperity of the world depends upon his
reelection in November"
That was Truman the candidate speak
ing
But Mr.. Truman's Republican oppo-
nent for the viee-presdency goes back
into the record and quotes Senator Tru-
man in refutation of Candidate Truman.
He cites these words from an article over
the Truman signature in the American
Magazine for November, 1912, referring
to halting production for war:
THE reasons for the waste and confu-
sion. the COMMITTEES (the Truman COM
mittee to investigate the conduct of the
war; found, were everywhere the same.
The lack of courage, unified leadership
and centralized direction at the top q. .
With the world going up in flames around
us. we owe it to ourselves to insist that
the President act promptly to halt the
selfish fightSfor power, the endless bck-
ering and dSsension, which have so far
blocked the complete utilization of our
productive energies"
Senator Truman concludes bitterly:
You and | are going to pay for the
cost, the waste and the inefficiency in
the form of increased taxation for years
to come"
Neither Gov. Dewey nor any other Re-
publican spokesman has made such a
forcefu indictment of executive incom-
potency as this. And yet this same exec
utive is the man held up by Candidate
Truman today as INDISPENSABLE to the
peace and prosperity of the whole world
It is obvious, when Senator Truman's
nomination was cleared through Sid
ney," Mr.. Hillman had not taken the trou-
BILE to look up the senator's signed ap-
praisal of the indispensable Man.

CIVILIAN WORKERS

These broad, and I fear rather
dogmatic sounding, remarks ex-
plain why, as the London econo-
mist recently pointed out, the out
put of national wealth in England
was as high ten years after the
last war as it was just before it
and this was true in spite of the
fact that hours of labor had been
reduced and unemployment had
increased: without these two fac.
tors the national income might
have been 10 to IS per cent higher
than before the war.
If a nation comes out of war
with its resources unimpaired, it's
man power not depleted and it's
industrial organization intact, then
it's real problem is not the size of
its war debt. It is whether its
government, its Industrial and fl.
nancial leaders can Shape policies

to the great depression in which

the dislocation of that capacity as
the supreme evil to be avoided.

1t is not easy to measure it but in
general we may say that we shall
have lost permanently all that our
