Agreement Assured

With agreement on all major is
sues Of world security organization
assured, Russian, British and Amer
ican conferees at Dumbarton Oaks
today drew near the conclusion of
their exploratory talks. The Anglo
American delegations prepared to
start similar negotiations with the
Chinese.
The Chinese phase of the talks
will last about week The initial
Russian phase had been scheduled
originally to end last Saturday, but
delays due to the need for frequent
and long communications between
the British and Russian groups and
their home governments were off,
cially blamed for prolonging the
meeting.
The only major point on which
there seems likely to be indecisive
results concerned the Russian pro-
posals for creation of an interna-
tional air corps. The Chinese are
understood to be ready to propose a
full international police force This
has posed a special problem for the
American delegation, whose mill
tary members are strongly opposed
to the international force idea.
1t was indicated, therefore, that
the plan to back the proposed world
security organization with military
force would provide for forces
organized along national lines, un-
der an international high COM
mand, but with the way left open
for further consideration of the in

Half an hour after Gov. Dewey

Mccormack, "and it took time to
prepare that speech on the question
of demobilization and the Army S

false charge. In his Philadelphia
speech he talked about eight years
OF defeatism at home; in his Louis

Dewey was in reality attacking a
member of his own party.
Gov. Dewey is a candidate for
President" Mr. Mccormack con-
tinued, which makes his charge all
the more serious, and it constitutes
a false statement. His charge might
confuse the minds of the troops, de-
ceive them and influence their loved
ones at home. His purpose is to get
votes.
This charge was made in an at
tempt to obtain political advan-
tage. Fortunately for the American
people, the record clearly contra
diets Gov. Dewey, who hit below
the belt when he made his charge.
If Gov Dewey takes the position
he did not know of the War Depart

ignorance as to what is going on. II
is the duty and responsibility of Gov
Dewey to make amends. This in

day, 1T is deplorable that in this
most crucial of all years in Ameri-

has chosen to nominate for Presi-
dent Mr.. Thomas E. Dewey, q man

OF Gov. Dewey's foreign policy,
Mr.. Hillman said:
I'm 1910 he was for breaking off
relations with Russia. Just think
what that would have meant to us
in loss of lives If we did not have
Russia as an ally. Lately Mr.. Dewey
has been in favor of some sort of
cohesion with Russia, whatever
that means.
Formerly Mr.. Dewey opposed our
giving aid to the Allies. Recently
he has come out for an alliance
with Britain.
ITO trust to a man with that sort
of record the task of negotiating a
lasting peace would be an act of ir-
responsibility on the part of the
Nation.
Il believe Mr.. Dewey has been too
busy campaigning to inform himself
of these issues"
Federal Job Aid Urged.
In his address to the mill work
ers' union, Mr.. Hillman declared:
After the last war, the Republi-
cans did as little about establishing
machinery for maintaining full en-
ployment as they did about estab-
fishing machinery for maintaining
peace. The Republicans of 1914 have
learned nothing. They state quite
frankly that, should they come into
power, they will not use the ma
chinery of Government to help pro-
vide jobs for all They will again re-
duce taxes and leave the rest to

Again in the Dumbarton Oaks

made whereby the American and

the Chinese. The Russian insistance
on isolation from the Far Eastern
war was even carried to the point
where copies of the Chinese plan for
a world security organization were
given to the American and British
governments, but not to Russia, pre-
sumably because Moscow did not
care to receive this document
There is reason to believe that
the diplomatic technique to be fol-
lowed here in Quebec will be similar
to that of the Dumbarton Oaks con-
ference. There, it is known, every
major point raised by either China
