leader of the American Labor party
which has been called "a COM
MUNIST labor party" by President
David Dubinsky of the international
Ladies Garment Workers Union who
was one of its founders but now
repudiates it.
Moreover, according to Gov.
Dewey:
"Sidney Hillman has become the
BIGGEST POLITICAL BOSS IN

man of the Political Action Commit

slogan:
POLITICS IS THE SCIENCE
OF HOW WHO GETS WHAT,

That slogan was actually flouted
in the faces of the American people,
in two million copies of political
pamphlet advocating the Roosevelt

Thus we see what is BEHIND the

properly fixed but the Morgen-
thau bank will have tough con-
gressional sledding).
If Russia does not enter a
civilian aviation arrangement
for the new air world, she will
remain an isolationist nation
which no one is permitted to fly
over without special arrange
ments, the same as before the
war. when her isolationism en-
abled her TO conceal from Hitler
and us the size of her military
establishment.
Without considering the right
or wrong of Russia's positions so
far developed. does not our own
campaign oratory sound fully
silly? Boiling Senator Ball and
his associates have turned their
votes. and indeed may turn the
country. on three postwar ques-
tons.
While Messrs. Roosevelt and
Dewey have practically agreed
on the answers to these ques-
tons, Balls people addressed
the questions TO the wrong party
as far as postwar Importance is
concerned.
Stain would have answered
all three negatively. Indeed, he
already has by his actions.
NOV no one wants TO let these
~ disagreements get beyond
redemption, although Moscow
is plainly less skittish than we
about the possibilities of any
disagreements helping the Ger
mans because they announce
theirs to the press. However,
as Churchill puts it, the Nazis'
most important hope is that
division will arise among the
three great powers"
In truth, the Nazis are only
liquidating both themselves and
weir country by continuing to
asist in such a stupid hope. be-
cause political disagreements are
everywhere considered second
airy to the necessity of Nazi
destruction. At the same time
there is no need that we be
fools.
But stranger even than our
popular trend of thought is the
fact that the domestic COM
munists led the way for the
fourth term. on the ground that
Mr.. Roosevelt is the world
leader, while Stain is doing
nothing to confirm it, in truth,
is discouraging such an inter-
probation.
Figure than one out. If you
can.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6-Put
w together what has been
made public in Moscow, London
and Washington recently upon
the postwar program, and you
will have an understanding of
the situation which repudiates
most of the campaign oratory
on the subject, now filling the
American ether with such din
as to exclude any solid fact.
Mr.. Churchill returned from
Moscow announcing to Com
mons no agreement had been
reached on the Balkans or Po-
land with Stain, but a working
arrangement had been perfected
for Moscow-London cooperation
during the remainder of the
war
His words indicated, and in
deed all official announcements
confirm, that Russia maintains
the upper hand in Poland, Ro-
mania. Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and
perhaps Hungary while the
British have kept it it in
Greece.
CHURCHILL said agreement
~ would be impossible until
he could get Roosevelt together
with Stain, and they have met
only once, at Teheran, almost
a year ago, where the results
were about the same-namely
a military agreement for war
and complete delay of politi-
cal agreements.
Since then Russia declined TO
agree on the new league of ma
tons formula at Dumbarton
Oaks, maintaining it wanted
unanimity required of the big
four powers to act against any
future aggressor, SO she Tor u.s.
could veto any war moves
against aggreSsors involving

Also eOne of Ours

THERE have been weeping and wailng and
i crashing of teeth in the fourth-term coalition
over Senator Harry S. Truman, the Democratic
nominee for vice president, and the Ku Klux Klan.
Senator Truman himself started the agitation
when he went out to California and endorsed Mr..
Hal Styles, who had obtained the party's nomi-
nation for representative in Congress from the
Hollywood district.
Too late for the New Dealers, it had been dis
closed that Styles was once klansman and a
kleage, and even an exalted cyclops, IN New York.
This was Ku Klux Klan utilization which
perturbed the New Dealers no little
When Senator Truman was questioned on the
matter he tried to fix it up by saying for Styles:
IF he is one of ours, I'm for him."
COMING from Mr.. Roosevet's running mate,
~ those words of acceptance left the New Deal
ers with not much to say-unless they were willing
to disown Truman along with Styles.
And then some of the senator's old neighbors
came forth with affidavits swearing that Mr.. Tru-
man had been associated with them personally as
Missouri members of the khan.
That one could not be given the silent treat
ment.
Senator Truman issued some denials and his
supporters vehemently protested that their vice
presidential nominee was being made the victim
of Smear campaign" such as the New Deal itself
has specialized in for II years.
What puzzles the public is why any New Deal
of their office-seekers have been called Ku Klux
Klansmen.
For it is an historic fact that the New Deal
has paid the highest honor ever paid to the Ku
Klux Khan.
WHAT happened in 1887 when President Roose-
w welt, having obtained his second term, under
took to destroy the independence of the United
States Supreme Court.
The Senate, it will be recalled, rejected Mr..
Roosevelt's legislative plan to ''pack" the court.
Immediately thereafter, Mr. Roosevelt had an
opportunity to appoint Supreme Court justice.
So he appointed another southern senator, Mr..
Hugo L. Black of Alabama, who had been chair
man of the New Deals notorious "polecat"
committee.
And when it was revealed-and proved-that
Senator Black had been Ku Klux Klansman, the
overwhelmingly Democratic Senate obediently
confirmed the appointment.
According to the performance record, there
fore, the Ku Kux Khan is not obnoxious to the
BIG New Dealers.
So why should LITTLE New Dealers feel
affronted if they now find former kansmen
among their nominees for federal office?

TT HAS been a matter of general
i knowledge from the beginning of
this campaign that the Roosevelt
fourth term candidacy has not de-
rived its driving force from the
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Gov. Dewey discussed this
strange and unprecedented situation
in his speech in Boston Wednesday
night.
Why has the presidential nominee
and titular head of the Democratic
party been compelled to conduct al
most his entire campaign with sup
porting leadership supplied by two
such organizations as the Communist
Political Association of Earl Brow
der and the Political Action Commit
tee of Sidney Hillman-organizations
which are not affiliated with the
Democratic party, and not only have
nothing in common with it but are
REPUGNANT to it's responsible
leadership and its rank and file mem
bership?
ISN'T it because the real Democratic
i party has long since associated
itself from the New Deal administra-
ton?
AS Gov. Dewey said in Boston:
"The NeW Deal is not a party.
at is a COLLECTION of parties,
all of phich HATE EACH OTHER"
This came about, said Gov.
Dewey, because:
"For twelUe years the great
Democratic party has been under the
crushing dominance of one man :.
"Mr. Roosevelt, in his ouer-
Wkelming desire to perpetuate him
self in office for SIXTEEN YEARS,
has put his party on the auction block
for sale to the highest bidders"
And the highest bidders, as Gov.
Dewey observed-and as every
American knows-were "the Politi-
cal Action Committee of Sidney Hill.
man and the Communists of Earl
Browder."
w HO is Earl Browder?
w "He is the man who uas con-
Uicted of DRAFT DODGING in the
last Dor," recalls Gov. Dewey.

man" also comes to an lnglorlous
end.
Had there been no war, there
could have been no such fable, for the
fallacies and failures of Mr.. Roose-
velt's domestic administration had
become too obvious and too ruinously
costly to be CLOSED over by the pale
cast of partisan politics.
Because this was true, Mr.. Roose-
welt affected to don the epaulets of
commander in chief and to base his
fourth term pretensions on the truly
presumptuous postulate that Amer
ica's victory in the war and our part
in the peace depended solely upon
his untutored skill in diplomacy and
his inexplicable mastery of "higher"
military strategy.
Unfortunately for his ambitions
and for his reputation in history,
however, his achievements are not
fulfilling the promises of his cam
paign prospectus.
That is, of course, what the Amer
lean people could easily have fore.
seen.
EOR the same mediocre ability that
L Mr.. Roosevelt has exhibited dur
ing IL years in this country's bust
ness is all that he could possibly
apply to international affairs.
Consequently, there never has
been any reason for assuming that
Mr.. Roosevelt's demonstrated in
competence in national transactions
: would somehow flower miraculously
into transcendent world leadership.
And now, on the very eve of the
election, disillusioning events have
caught up with the candidate for
prolonged office.
Mr.. Roosevelt's ineptitude as
diplomatist has been made distress
ingly apparent by the virtual aban-
donment of the Atlantic Charter.
Prime Minister Churchill in ,
formed the British House of Com
mons that he had not accepted that
document as it was presented to the
American people.
He said he had caused qualifying
words to be inserted in the charter
which safeguarded British interests
in the question of imperial trade
preferences.
Another portion of the charter
was nullified when Soviet Russia
served notice that the fate of the
Baltic republics was not a subject for
discussion.
More than that-besides incorpo-
rating the Battles in the Soviet
Union, Marshal Stain has estab-
lished Tito, the Communist leader,
in power in Yugoslavia; is extending
his suZerainty over the Balkan ma
tions; is promoting communism in
Italy through his agent, Ercooli, a
member of the Communist Interna-
tional; is intriguing with French
Communists for the return to France
of the Red exile Thorez; and has de-
creed the fate of Poland without the
collaboration of any of his allies.
THE certain prospect is, therefore,
l. that Communist Russia will domi-
nate Europe in spite of the Atlantic
Charter.
Surely, as the dispenser of lend
lease, Mr.. Roosevelt should have
done better than that in his diplo-
macy.
Likewise, the "higher" strategy
has not always been what the gen.
erals could approve, and has inter-
fered with them.
On Nov. 3, the New York Herald
Tribune reported a two hour press
