In stopping shipment OF Argentine beef
TO Britain, which would add 10 our food
problem. Eventually It might even lead
TO military action, which would be most
difficult TO undertake In the midst of
two-continent war;
Whatever Argentlna's governmental
policies may have been, her people have
been additionally democratic. And there
must be a strong temptation in Wash
ington to recall this and let them work
out their own salvation. On the other
hand, what happened to the essentially
democratic, decent, peace-loving people
Of Italy cannot be forgotten.
Present history In Argentina Is paral-
Icing past history In Italy and Germany.
While we are killing FaScism In Europe
and Asia, 1t Is fiourishing in Buenos
aires. FaSciSm, We know now, is a world
disease and not an isolated, domestic
malady We know now how stubborn It
Is to destroy. And we know that APP
peasement is not the cure.
We cannot know whether the Argen-
tine people will rise against their present
government. We cannot know whether
President Farrell and Vice President
Peron will contemplate the fate of Mus
solini, Hitler and TOTO, and pause be-
fore they go too far. But we do know
that they are now blindly, arrogantly,
confidently nationaliStic, and thae Peron
Is reported to have said that Uruguay
will be occupied when the time comes"
The present symptoms may force quick
decision between Pan-American solidarity

The Chilean accusation that the

q "south American Munich" which
would abandon democratic Chile and
Uruguay TO the Argentine dictatorship

emphaticaly denied by Secretary of State

Political Platforms

Political party platforms of 1914 must
not be accepted too readily. The Demo-
cratic and Republican conventions of
1914 did about the same kind of chart
ing" as to be found In the Roosevelt and
Churchill Atlantic Charter-and that is
nine-tenths visionary.
David Hinshaw In his recent article
published in The New York Times cata-
Iogues platforms as merely historical
documents" He says that they do not
represent bad faith on the part of the
major parties and the candidates, but
collectively these political platforms may
be best classified as "mosaicS designed by
practical political experts to give the least
Offense to any vocal group of voters while
at the same time they attempt TO win the
support of other larger voter groups or
hold their party members in line" Never
theless, he finds that most party plat
form-makers do too much "pussyfooting
through a maze OF issues" and use too
many weasel words" in stating the party
issues.
A casual examination of the present
Republican platform does not indicate
that it is intended TO be the last word in
regard to Western hemisphere relations,
postwar or domestic policies, security,
labor, the tariff, relations between bust
ness and industry, taxation, or other
problems and issues. As matter of fact.
the platforms of the Democratic party in
the last IL years haven't furnished as
much as an index to the system of gov
eminent which followed through three
terms
In his very interesting review OF party
platforms Mr.. Hinshaw finds that any
political philosopher who will take the
trouble to examine platforms of political
parties for the past 100 years will reach
the conclusion that "these works of our
forebears seem like graveyard of dead
issues" Apparently they all point with
pride and view with alarm" but neverthe-
less, despite their evasion, have place
in the Democratic scheme"
The average voter nowadays is depend
ing upon the press, and good radio
voices" TO point out the way To CO. and
decide upon which ballot to east in the
coming election. All of which, summed
up, appears to indicate that the political
platforms of June and July, 1914, will
rapidly descend into a lower class than
the "mosaics," as "de woFl' do move and
awful fast. and political experts can't
keep up
