So, TO be sure of my ground,

The chaplain-Capt. Bedford
Smith of Sweetwater, Texts a
courteous and kindly gentleman.
When told him what l had heard
about Ayres, he laughed heartily.
LEWIS WORK PRAISED
eff Lew Is the slightest bit
crazy" he chuckled. "then
there are any number OF us
around here In precisely the
same boat. Because there isn't
a worker around this spot, nor
patient, who doesn't think he's
one of the finest men who ever
walked.

a wonderful job he has done up
here. His greatest pleasure Is In
helping other people. He Is de-
hbi -
miliar with more books on re-
ligiOn than l have ever read. He
will one day make a wonderful
minister"
That was surprise number one
for me. Surprise number two came
few minutes later when AyreS
sat with me at rickety table in
a mess tent. Because, far from be-
ing out of line, he talked honestly,
sincerely, fearlesSly, and with
utter conviction.
please don't misunderstand
me, Mark" he smiled. 81 am not
trying to found any new cult,
and / haven't any visions, and

you Is that i have found God
from within myself. And ii Is

! asked him a question:
Lew" l said. "there have
been so many stories as TO why
you did what you did, and why
YOU feel as you do now. To
my knowledge, you have never
told any one your real reasons.
Would you care TO tell them

And here was his answer:

and yet l had nothing.
II had my books, and my
lovely home in the hills, and my
intellectual companions, and my
music. But somewhere, some
how, something very important
was missing. There were crowds

wiser like Mr.. Dulles, who has ac-
cess, to the State department, is
responsible for the way in which
Mr.. Dewey dealt with the Polish
problem. I say this because the
particular form of the Governors
remarks had nothing to do with
winning the votes of Americans Of
Polish descent. His REMARKS were
pin-pointed at the current negotia-
tions by someone who does not
want a compromise to- succeed.
Unfortunately, there are NUM-
Der of other specific items in the
critical section of the speech which
are not competent, efficient, or
even scrupulous. The Governors
treatment Of the Romanian ar1ni-
stice has been dealt with, by the
State department. For a man
whose claim to Office rests On his
efficiency, the reckless inaccdracy
of the Governor remarks about
Romania is startling. ~

To my mind these concrete ex-
amples provide an objective test Of
whether Governor Dewey is Nted
to take over. the conduct of Amer
lean policy in the. climax and crisis
of the war. That he has. Endorsed
the general principles and objec-
tives of sound foreign policy is
of the utmost importance and
value. But it is one thing to indorse
the right policy after it has been
formed. 1t is quite another thing
to conduct and to develop policy.
We all, for example, indorse whole
heartedly the military policies Of
General Marshall. But that does
not prove our competence to be
Chief of Staff.
That there is much that can fair
ly be criticized in the Presidents
conduct of affairs is certain. But
in criticizing the President it is
necessary to remember. that though
he has messed UP certain things
and bungled others, he has played
the leading part in forrning J. and in
