broad political platform. Here it is:
Public meetings for the purpose OF
cooperation in the management Of cleo
tons have been sanctioned by long es-
tablished custom; and are generally adj
mitted to be consistent with the char
acter Of popular governments; and in
this country particularly it may safely
be assumed that what is lawful in such
cases for any portion Of the community,
cannot be less so far the working classes.
1T has also been the practice with men
of similar views and pursuits to concen-
trate their strengths and talents in order
to secur to themselves the political
guardianship of their peculiar interests.
The advantages resulting from the exer-
else of this privilege have hitherto es-
capped notice Of the majority OF working
men.
But, instructed by the experience Of
past errors and misfortune they are
determined henceforth to take the man
agement of their own interests, as a
class, into their own immediate keeping,
and with this view propose the follow
ing resolutions preparatory to arrange
ments for the snuing general elections:
Resolved, that this meeting recon-
mend to the mechanics and working men
Of the city to support only such men for
city councils and state legislature, as
shall pledge themselves in their official
capacity to support the interests and
claims of the working classes.
Resolved, that we pledge ourselves not
to permit the measures growing out Of
this meeting to interfere with the ar
rangements of either of the contending
parties in relation to the presidential
question Or congressional election. Re-
solved, that four district meetings of the
city be held for the purpose of choosing
delegates to form a ticket to be sup
ported by mechanics and working men
at the next general elections. Resolved,
that this meeting respectfully recon-
mend to the several district meetings to
confine themselves in their choice Of
delegates mot candidates. entirely to
working men"
These were the resolutions, and thereby
labor entered politics. The method was
to support candidates Of both parties,
depending on how they stood on vital
issues. In the first election after the
organization of labor in this city as a
political force, labor-supported candi-
dates made a good showing; but the
chief value Of that election was in ex-
perience gained and errors realized.
BY the time of the next citywide cleo
ton, the working men If the city had
learned a good deal. Their party policed
the polling places to insure honest vot-
ing. They made a Drive to have every
one who could vote come out and vote
and they were successful.

THE recent Philadelphia speech of
l. Former President H Herb bert
Hoover eloquently recited the his
torical record which supports this
fact.
Recalling that the great purpose
of the present war, after the defeat
of the enemy is universally under
stood to be Ito establish the political
rights of nations and men," Mr..
Hoover said:
These principles and others
perc affirmed in the MoscoW and in
the Yalta declarations and in a hun
dred speeches of our leaders in rOar.
"T hese statements specifically
include the right of peoples to equal
sovereignty, freedom from aggres-
sion and domination by others and
the right of nations to determine
their own government Without inter.
ference.
"They pdrticularize that there
shall ce no aggrondizement, no an
nexations, and no territorial changes
Without the freely expressed Wishes
of the peoples; that nations haze the
righ. to determine their Wishes by
unfetered elections, by free secret
ballot.
THERE have been no elections in
Il Poland, free or otherwise.
The only government in Poland
is Russia S puppet.
And under that puppet govern
ment there HAVE been annexations,
aggrandizements and territorial
changes-all for the sole benefit of
Russia-to which the people of Po-
land have not consented or had any
opportunity to consent.
For Poland to be represented by
this government at the San Fran
cisco conference would be to allow
Russia to speak and vote FOR Po-
land as we'll as for herself.
Mr.. Roosevelt said NO to that.
President Truman should give
the same answer, and persist in it as
often as the question is raised.

tional affairs.
Since the American state depart

the Russian demand for a second
time, there is no question about
HOW the President will deal with
the problem.
This is surely a matter upon
which President Truman can take
his stand squarely IN support of the
policies of the late President Roose
velt, with utter conviction that it is
both popular and right.
Mr.. Roosevelt unhesitatingly and
unequivocally rejected the claim
raised by Russia in behalf of the
Polish provisional government, and
was joined in that rejection by Prime
Minister Churchill of Great Britain.
The reasons for the rejection
were unassailable at the time, and

We are in danger of losing the peace. This is
not the same thing as saying that the San Fran
cisco meeting may sink into sordid squabble.
The breakup of that meeting and the scrappng
of the whole portfolio of proposed agreements
might be the first step toward real peace.
Because nothing has been thought through and
because there has been so much double-talk and
propaganda pressure, the situation may already
have become so involved that the best course is to
wipe the slate clean and start all over again with
clear, simple objective.
We shall lose the peace. if for face-saving pur-
pOses we so compromise principles that there will
emerge from San Francisco document founded
cheap eXpediency and not on truth, honor and
justice. That, and not breakup. is the danger.
The question is not what Russia wants, or what
Britain wants, or what this that country wants.
What the United States Wants
