Norman Thomas Attacks
Roosevelt Peace Plans
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. Sept. 25.-Norman
Thomas says the Roosevelt admin
istratlon apparently intends to base
the peace on cartel of empires,
which the Socialist candidate for
President declared is likely to lead
to new war"
Mr.. Thomas made the statement
in an address recorded for broadcast
over Station WQXR and for re-
broadcast to troops overseas by
Army short-wave facilities. His ad-
dress was released last night by So
cialist Party headquarters here.
The record of Cairo and Teheran
the terms of the Presidents So
called great design for peace and
the proceedings at Dumbarton Oaks
so far as We know them Mr.
Thomas said show an intention to
base our peace upon a cartel of en-
pires which in the light of all We
know from history and observation
is far more likely to lead to new
wars
Mr.. Thomas added that on the
record of handling of prewar issues
there is no reason to accept the in
dispensability of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration for the handling OF
peace"
He also hit at the Republicans
when he said that they should find
no aid and comfort" in his remarks
because Gov. Dewey has revealed
no significant differences of opinion
with the administration on the basis
of lasting peace"

LONDON, Sept. 25-Two members
lof Congress returning from France
suggested yesterday that Gen
Eisenhower be given "the toughest
diplomatic post in the world" after
the war to make use of his proven
qualities-ability to get along with
all types of people, shrewd apprais-
al of every situation, and common
sense
Not that the supreme commander
would want it, for Representatives
Mundt, Republican, of South Da-
kota and Richards, Democrat, of
South Carolina quoted him as saying
that all he wanted to do when peace
comes was to 60 back to Kansas. sit
on the bank of a creek and fish in
the sun"
I'VE think he deserves whatever
he wants after the war" they said in
an interview, but he has shown
himself perhaps the best diplomat
on the pay roll and the country will
need men like him to help in the
difficult problems of the future"
Mr.. Mundt said a good assign
ment for the general would be AM

|VFW Offers PROGRAM
Ito Protect Veterans,
Assure Lasting Peace

A four-point program designed to
protect the returning serviceman
and assure permanent peace was
advocated here today by Jean A.
Drummer, commander in chief of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Mr.. Drummer, whose home is in
Forest Hills, N. Y, outlined the plan
as follows:
l. Compulsory military training
Had the Government fallen in line
with the VFW suggestion before the
war, he said, Pearl Harbor might
have been averted.
2. Cessation Of immigration for 10
years after the war. Mr.. Drummer
said continued entry of aliens into
this country would result in serious
competition with American war
veterans in the labor market.
3. Union seniority for veterans.
Preliminary plans to allow veterans
seniority equivalent to their service
in the armed forces already have
been discussed with the AFL and
CIO, Mr.. Drummer said, and await
final action by the labor conventions
and local unions.
4. Imposition of rigid peace terms
on enemy nations. The VFW COM
mander expressed alarm over the
current indications that the Ameri-
can people may take "sob-sister"
attitude toward the peoples of enemy
countries He said the populations of
Germany, Japan and even Italy were
as much to blame for their leaders
depredations as Hitler, TOTO and
Mussolini themselves.
Referring to his proposal to stop
immigration, Mr.. Drummer said, 1T
would be criminal for us to make the
job of getting a job more difficult for
our own boys by refusing to close the
f1oodgates to European immigra-
ton
"Sentimentalists might say it
would be brutal to deny War-ravaged
European families the chance to
start new life in the New World" +"
he said, but how much more brutal
it would be for us to do anything
that would in any way increase job
competition for our boys, who gave
up good positions to save this Nation
and the democratic world"

EFFORTS to drive the Germans out

the terms Of an armistice with
Russia which this country has
received with mingled hope and
fear.

are waiting to see what the armis-
tice terms will mean in practice.
Although the Firms have now
signed an armistice with Russia
and Great Britain-it would be
ignoring the facts to say that by this
act they have lost their historical
fear OF the Russians.
For several years they have been
kept largely in ignorance of the
nature of the war against Germany
as result of censorship. During
this time they have fought bravely
and we'll against an enemy whom
rightly or wrongly they believed
would strip them of their inde-
pendence.
Now they appear to want only to
fulf1ll the terms of the armistice
and to live their own lives. In this
desire they look not only to Russia
but to Great Britain and America

correspondents arriving here-the
