The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

HELENA, Mont, Oct. S.-Cries of
Joy went up from Democratic throats
in Minnesota and elsewhere when Sen
ator Ball, Republican, Minnesota, an
nounced Saturday he could not con-
scientiously campaign for Gov. Dewey
since he was not convinced the New
Yorker II elected President. would
tight hard enough for strong inter-
national collaboration by the United
States after the war Is won. The Ball
statement was right down the Demo-
cratic alley. The Democrats have been
trying to convince the people President
Roosevelt is needed, not only to win the
war. but also to make the peace.
Whether the Ball statement was in
tended to scuttle the Dewey campaign
and some suspicious Republicans say
1t was-its effect certainly was not help
full to the Republican cause. Gov.
Dewey has gone far to eliminate the
issue OF international collaboration by
the United States from the present
campaign.
In his Louisville speech, dealing with
foreign relations. Gov Dewey certainly
went as far as Mr.. Roosevelt has gone
in support of international collabora-
t1on. backed by force to maintain peace
in the future. Further, he sent his
adviser on foreign policy. John Foster
Dulles, to confer with Secretary Hull
on the subject and apparently there
was agreement between the Secretary
Of State and Mr.. Dulles and, presume
bly,, Mr.. Dewey.
Senator Ball has become almost ia
natical in his crusade for international
collaboration. To him 1t is the para
mount issue. This writer is convinced
Of his sincerity, not only in his cru
sading position but also in his belief
that neither Mr.. Roosevelt nor Gov.
Dewey has gone as far as he believes
they should go in this matter.
Nevertheless, he has laid himself open
to countercharges by Republicans that
he Is not playing ball. Particularly in
view of the fact that he made a speech
seconding Gov. Dewey's nomination for
President at the Chicago convention.
1t is possible that Senator Ball, as
the Minneapolis Tribune has pointed
out editorially, by his statement hopes
to draw from Gov. Dewey still further.

St. PauIFs Celebration

Even as long ago as 1878, st. Paul's
Church, Rock Creek Parish, was a
place Of pilgrimage for visitors to
Washington. Keim's Illustrated
Handbook of the Capital of the
United States of America, published
In that year, mentions it as being
"easy Of access from the horse cars
on the Seventh street road" and
goes on to tell how it first was erect
ed in 1719, rebuilt in ITS and re-
modelled in 1868. But the story of
the famous old structure is not ade-
quately reported in so brief a sum-
mary. Recent research has brought
to light many details not available
to other than present-day writer's.
Caspar Names, in The Star last Sat-
urday, chronicled some of them. Ad-
ditional material undoubtedly will
come to light in connection with the
celebration of the two hundred and
twenty-fifth anniversary which was
started Sunday and will be con-
tinued tomorrow evening and Sun
day, october 8, and Sunday, Oc-
tober Is.
That is the practical significance
of every such commemoration of the
past. No utility attaches to mere
discussion of the events and per-
sonalities of periods of the Nations
experience which are closed unless
the authentic values Of former ages
are revived by bringing them into
contact with the improved facilities
of appraisal developed in modern
times. People appreciate the relics
of yore not simply as artifacts Gre
ated by their ancestors. Rather, they
are grateful for them because they
were and still are noble achieve
ments for which an angle of perspec-
tive naturally is needed. The pre-
vailing enthusiasm for old furniture,
old glass and silver, old books and
manuscripts, old dolls and other
toys, old stamps and coins Is in ac-
Acknowledgement of merit which lives
again because it deserves to live.
And the beautiful old church
pledged to the great Apostle from
Tarsus is not exempt from the prin-
ciple thus set forth. It is one of the
most ancient edifices of religion in
the District of Columbia. The cele-
bration of its birthday" will be fea-
tured by the dedication of luminous
stained glass windows of historic i'm
port described in The Star editorial
page for June last-compositions
which in themselves combine the
different epochs of American civili-
cation in which patriotism and art
inspired by religion have been in
fullest flower.

and to him, more satisfying comments
ana commitments on international
collaboration. This is fair strategy. But
at the same time, II Senator Ball re-
mains entirely aloof and neutral In
the presidential race where does 1t leave
him and those who are inclined to
follow him?
Wendell L. Willkie, the Republican
candidate for President four years ago.
has taken much the same position as
Senator Ball. attacking both the Re-
publicans and the Democrats on their
foreign policy party planks. The pre-
sumption Is that both Mr. Willkie and
Senator Ball will vote Republican.
That is the opinion expressed by the
Minneapolis Tribune, published by John
and Gardner Cowles, two of Mr.. WILKES
most ardent supporters in 1910 and
1874. This is q matter which only Mr..
Wtllkie and Senator Ball can finally
clear up. however. Until and unless they
do announce their support OF the Re-
publican ticket, they will leave them
selves in the position of having taken
a walk
Only the naive believe that Mr.,
Willkie has given up presidential aspira-
tions for the future. If Mr.. WiIlkie
intends to be candidate in the future
it will not help him to take a walk in
the present campaign Senator Ball
has been and is an ardent supporter of
Comdr Harold E. Stassen, who also
may properly have presidential aspira-
tions.
He helped conduct the campaign for
Stassen nomination this year. He
nrst served in the Senate as an ap-
pointee OF the then Gov. Stassen. He
certainly will not help the cause of Mr..
Stassen in the future if he takes a walk
when the Republicans are bending every
effort to end the Roosevelt regime in
Washington.
Other strong supporters of Mr.. Stas-
sen in Minnesota. among them Gov.
Thye, Comdr. Stassen's own choice to
succeed him in the Governors chair,
have attacked Senator Balls position
Still others and some so-called Inde-
pendents have acclaimed Senator Balls
courage. But courage without political
wisdom is sometimes ineffective.

RumeIy Indictment

DR.. Edward A. Rumely, executive
secretary of the Committee for Con-
Stitutional Government, has been
indicted by a District grand jury
because he refused to supply the
House Campaign Expenditures Com
mittee with list of contributors to
his organization Both Dr. Rumely
and Frank E. Gannett, New York
publisher and founder of the Com
mittee for Constitutional Govern
ment, contend that the House COM
mlttee has no right to the informa-
tion it wants because their group is
an educational and not a political
agency. Furthermore, they say that
they are preparedNuto carry that
question to the Supreme Court if
necessary.
This, of course, is position which
they have right to take If they so
desire. There is mixed question of
law and fact involved, and if DR..
Rumely prefers to assume the pos
sible consequences of going to trial
on the issue, that is his own affair.
He is far wide of the mark, how
ever, in attributing the issuance of
the subpoena to which he objects to
the "fanatical" partisanship of
Chairman Anderson of the House
committee. The fact is that the
committee, composed of four Demo-
Gratis and three Republicans, voted
unanimously to issue the subpoena.
Presumably, it is their belief that
the committee, and not witnesses
called before it, must determine
what is and what is not proper.
line of inquiry. Any witness, of
course, may appeal to the courts.
But If the committee were to defer
TO the Judgment of a witness in
such matter, it is difficult to see
how 1t could successfully conduct
any investigation.
1t might also be mentioned that DR..
Rumely's position is not strength
ened by his personal record. After
the last war he was convicted and
served a prison term for violating
the Trading With the Enemy Act.
The records indicate that prior to
this country's involvement in the
war in 1917 he purchased a New
York newspaper on behalf Of the
German government, and then con-
cealed the true ownership OF the
paper from the Alien Property Gus

into the Third Reich long before the
war, there Is no government In exile
to coordinate local discontent from
abroad and send in help. Lastly,
there is native minority of fanat-
ical Nazis to aid the Germans in
ferreting out patriots. The upshot
is that Austria is less capable Of
spontaneous resistance than any
other country under Nazi rule. In
the light of all this. the Austrians
should not be expected to do more
than Eisenhower now bids them.
Their liberation will have to be
initiated by United Nations arms.

The return Of the Communist leader,
Maurice Thorez from Moscow where he
had taken refuge since 1899 may be
considered indicative of the coming
struggle within France.
Thorez was leader Of the French COM
munists who were described as
sabotaging national defense in the early
stages of the war when the Communists
in the West charged Britain and France
with waging "a capitalistic war to sup
port the Polish oligarchy.n A warrant
for his arrest was issued in Paris in
September, 1899, and had he been ap-
pretended he probably would have faced
a firing squad Thorez disappeared
just In time and was received with open
arms in Moscow where he is said to have
remained until two weeks ago.
+
His request to be permitted to return
to Algiers after Gen. de Gaulle formed
the French provisional government in
the North African capital was turned
down by French security oficials.
Despite the excellent relations between
the Provisional government and Moscow,
which alone of the Big Three govern
ments has extended full recognition
W 1Cll. uc Sdullc, bIlc FTeNCT security
services felt the presence Of Thorez
either in Africa or France would be
dangerous
Too many French servicemen still
held bitter resentment against the
leader of the Communists for his role
in the defeat Of their country and were
unwilling to see him back in France.
For reasons which are not yet known.
Gen. de Gaulle has changed his mind
recently and ordered the granting of
a passport to the Communist leader.
The American high command has no
responsibility for the maintenance of
internal order in the country. But our
military authorities are as greatly con-
cerned as the French government lead
ers. They are aware that If separatist
groups are permitted to have their own
way, we may soon have civil war In
France which unquestionably would
hamper military operations against the
Reich
The situation is considered very
delicate because any attempt on our
part to intervene would be Immediately
interpreted as an attempt to delve into
Frances internal affairs. The hope
is that the French army will be, able
to handle the situation provided 1t is
strongly supported by Paris.

Summons to Austria

Ine radio message sent the people
OF Austria last Sunday by a spokes-
man of General Eisenhower "to
prepare for the arrival of the Allies"
is not the first summons beamed to
the Austrians by our side. In mid
September similar message was
sent by our State Department while
whole string of admonitions has
been radioed from Moscow. All these
announcements are logically based
on the Moscow Declaration last win
ter, when the re-establishment of an
independent Austria was proclaimed
as one of the United Nations war
aims, and when the Austrian people
were likewise told that the terms of
that re-establishment were in part
dependent on their own efforts in
obtaining it.
Unlike the Moscow messages,
which suggested immediate rebellion
against Nazi rule, General Eisen-
hower's summons does not go be-
yond instructing the Austrians to
get ready for positive action when
the Allied armies should be within
striking distance. Those prepara-
tions are to include the formation of
clandestine committees of action,
the listing of traitors and the safe
guarding of food stocks and other
measures which will facilitate Aus
tria's liberation by Allied hands. The
Austrians are told that If these in
structions are followed there will be
less chance of Austria's being dew
astated while the Nazis are being
expelled, as Italy has been.
Eisenhower's advice seems to be
in sensible accord with existing
realities. So far as the Western
Allies are concerned, they are as yet
far from Austrian soil, and only a
quick German collapse in Italy or on
the western front could bring them
there in the near future. The most
likely contingency would be a speedy
Russian drive through Hungary. But
until one OF these possibilities actu-
ally occurs, q native rising against
the Nazis would be sheer madness.
Few outsiders realize that nearly
all Austrian males capable Of bear
ing arms have been conscripted into
the German armies or labor forces
and sent out OF the country to vari-
Gus parts Of Nazi-dominated Europe.
Also, since Austria was incorporated

Appreciation

There was an exuberance about
the restoration of the Nations basic
charters to the Library of Congress
Sunday, and such demonstration
OF patriotic enthusiasm Is not DIM
cult to understand. Even though
the brief ceremony OF reinstallatien
did not mark the end Of the war, it
symbolized development OF kin
dred significance. The Declaration
of independence and the Constitu-
tion OF the United States were
brought back to Washington with
the consent and approval Of the mil
itary authorities charged with the
defense of the Capital. 1t therefore
is fair to assume that the return OF
the two precious documents marks
the end of whatever danger pre-
viously existed. No further black
out drills are likely to be held in the
District of columbia. 1t was a sense
of relief, then, that prompted the
excitement of many of the persons
who attended the impressive rites
arranged by Librarian Archibald
MacLeish and his associates.
And they most particularly are
entitled to breathe easier now that
the treasures committed to their
care are home. The task of remov-
ing them was an enterprise of
monumental proportions. With the
Declaration and the Constitution
went approximately twenty-eight
freight car loads Of material OF the
very greatest historic, literary and
scientific value. Packing, shipping,
storing and guarding such a price
less wealth of Americas cultural
inheritance required technical skill
and administrative direction OF the
highest order. The work was done
under conditions never equaled in
any crisis. That it was done
promptly, efficiently and success
fully now is q demonstrated fact.
Mr.. MacLeish and his colleagues de-
serve the grateful thanks Of their
countrymen.
