Now the Rumanians and the Hun
garians hate each other. Rumanians
could never feel very safe as long az
they were backed up only by Hungary,
or by German troops which had to come
through Hungary-yet without help the
Rumanians could hardly be expected to
resist the Russians. The Germans may
have felt that they had to choose; that
they had to occupy Hungary, in order
to keep Rumania in the war, in order
to maintain control of their forces and
lines Of communication in Rumania as
the Russians come smashing across the
Dniester and surge toward the Prut.

And then there is the force of ex-
ample. No doubt the Germans will deal
drastically with such Hungarians as
may be captured in the act of resisting
them. No doubt they will really set the
iron heel on the neck of the Hungarian
nation. That will be a spectacle sup
posed to terrify wavering Rumanians, to
say nothing of wavering Bulgars or
even wavering Firms. We need not
waste sympathy on the Hungarians,
They joined Germany for loot, and they

Not one of the great industries of this

economy Is national, and so is our cul-
ture. Although newspapers are. still, in

and the accent was much less emphatic
on the common man." The contrast
was marked all the way through, even
in the introduction. Clearly, the modi-
hcation had been made with a view
OF appealing to special groups other
than the one before which the speech
was made and which the records were
supposed to reproduce exactly. They
were so plainly "doctored" that various
newspapers editorially referred to it
as double talk"
From the detached viewpoint this
would seem an indefensible thing to
nave done. That SO personally upright
man as Mr.. Wallace could bring him.
self to do this kind of thing is pretty
savage commentary upon the ethical
standards OF our public life Apparently
tne only way in which the double talk"
can be reconciled with Mr. Wallace's per-
sonaI integrity is on the theory that de-
ceit OF this kind in politics is so much a
matter OF course that men who in pri-
Vate life would be revolted by it have
no qualmS at all about such incidents
in their public life.
1t is unfortunate for Mr. Wallace that
the records and his manuscript could
De compared so quickly and so publicly.
1t rather spoils the picture painted by
his ardent friends as the great, fearless
liberal who scorns to compromise a
principle
But one should not be too hard on
Mr.. Wallace for his double talk" Men
holding even higher Office than the
one he holds now have been guilty of
the same thing-and will be again.
Also it is true that while, perhaps, they
will not be SO publicly exposed, none
OF the gentlemen who are now aspiring
to either presidency or vice presidency
has record for undertaking consist
ency and complete candor in his public
utterances. They may be able to laugh
at poor Mr.. Wallace for being caught

ton really to throw stones at him.

sincerity Is maintained. This is. of
course, an unpalatable statement It
will be vigorously denied by the breast
beaters in both parties. But, it is none
theless true.
Consider the demonstration which
Vlce-President Henry Wallace has SO
recently given. Certainly, Mr.. WAL
lace is one of the most honest men in
polltlcs. However foggy and unsound
ms views, he is generally conceded to
oe more than averagely high minded.
Yet, last week he performed in a way
extremely typical of the ordinary poll
ticlan seeking to hold on to his lob
IN an unprecedented attempt to reach
the widest possible audience, he per-
sonally sent cards to all radio stations
asking II they wanted free records of
the speech he was to deliver to the
American Business Congress in New
YORK last Friday. About $40 of the
oUo stations accepted. Not all of these
used these records but many did.
X x
Upon analysis, however it appeared
that there were striking differences be-
tween the records and the actual
speech. To the businessmen Mr.. Wal
lace's words were far less harsh than
those later sent out on the records.
For example, on the records he declared
that the present high concentration of
investment banking in New York City
is itself incompatible with free enter
prise, for only large national corpora
t1ons haye access on reasonable terms
to that market" The prepared speech
to the businessmen did not include this
sentence. Various other similar dis
crepancies were noted by those who
compared the records with the speech.
In brief, Mr.. Wallace was much more
vehement and antibusiness on the rec
ords than he was in his manuscript.
In the records he made a stronger ap-
peal for his special concern, the com
mon man" To his New York audience
his remarks were considerably tempered

One more angle must be considered.

that Hungary was an uncertain ally,
what must they think of Rumania?

Russian troops Chat is, If you consider
Bessarabia as Rumanian territory,
