The Great Task Ahead---Make
America Free Again
By SAMUEL CROWTHER

President Truman, by an act of God,
comes into office at time when the
course of the American revolution can still
be checked.
The late President Roosevelt was not
at the head of this revolution. He was
a prey to those men and women to whom
Karl Marx is God
Our late president thought he could
use these people.
But long before his end came they
were using him.
They will continue to use him, even as
their masters used the embalmed body of
Lenin in shrine at the kremlin.
We shall hear president Roosevelt
wanted this offered as supreme reason.
The American people have never had a
chance to know what was being done to
them in the name of reform.
The government, in an ever-increasing
degree, by official and unofficial con-
trolls, has given To the people only the
information it wanted them to have.
The elections, in an ever-increasng de-
gree, have been controlled by enlarging
the public pay roll at critical points and
critical times
The Hillman gang through the Polit
ical Action Committee, using Henry Wal
lace and Philip Murray as stooges and the
CIO as a source of funds and of votes,
have been trying to make themselves a
source of power in government, just as
the tiny Communist party is the source of
power in the Soviet government.
The job of President Truman is to
dissolve personal government to rip off
the veil of secrecy and to mobilize Amer
lean brains so that this nation can meet
and conquer the oncOming crisis in the
American way"

For War or for Peace?

compromise with a growing conviction
that people do not understand what pro-
found reversal it involves of the Dunn
barton Oaks policy and how absolutely
necessary il will be TO reconsider one part
of it.
THE DumbartOn Oaks scheme pro-
yided that the five great powers should
maintain large forces of all arms instantly
ready to prevent aggression, an arrange
ment almost universally approved by
public opinion.
G7NHE veto introduced by the Crimea
i compromise enables any great
power (D to commit aggression if il likes
and (2) to veto any action by the other
powers to prevent the aggression.
THAT is to say, the large armaments
proposed at DumbartOn Oaks are to be
kept i'm constant readiness but their pur-
pose is reversed; they are FREE TO
COMMIT AGGRESSION but NOT PER
MITTED TO PREVENT IT.
obviously this was never intended
and will have to be modified.
I'm the above. l consider only aggres-
sion by great power; aggressiOns by
small nations can be stopped without
much trouble UNLESS THEY ARE
INSTIGATED OR SUPPORTED BY 4
POWERFUL PROTECTOR"
TT is apparent that DR.. Murray believes
L the "Crimea compromise" permits any
of the great powers to become an
"aggressor," and to precipitate third
world war in either of two ways-by its
own action in attacking another country,
or by supporting a minor nation in what
might otherwise be only neighborhood
squabble.
That outcome at the San Francisco
conference would leave the world exactly
where it was before this world war or the
first world war began.
To avert such an outcome the San
Francisco conference must be able to veto
the "Crimea compromise.

IF THERE is doubt and confusion in
this country as to the problems with
which the United Nations conference at
San Francisco will undertake to deal, and
the solutions which it may be expected
to find, the same is true in Great Britain.
One of the British thinkers on the SUBJ
ject is Gilbert Murray, for % years regius
professor of Greek at Oxford University
and we'll known in America as translator
of classic Greek drama.
Dr. Murray has given great deal of
thought and effort to international rela-
tions.
He is president of the international
committee for intellectual cooperation
He continues to hold the title in Great
Britain of president of the League of
Nations Union.
LIE HAS been outspokeniy hopeful that
III an effective world peace organiza
ton might be achieved out of the blood
shed and ruin of this conflict
And he finds himself now in a state
of utter uncertainty because of conflicts
between the formula that was devised at
Dumbarton Oaks and the subsequent
agreements-only partly disclosed--that
came out of Yalta.
1t is his judgment that Dumbarton
Oaks adopted one program as a basis for
permanent action, but that the Yalta con-
ference changed the plan in it's most
important aspects, and yet that the San
Francisco conference is expected to fol-
low the Dumbarton Oaks blueprint with
the probability that it's conclusions may
be rejected and nullfied by or within the
big Three"

War VIGOROUSLY Make PERMANENTLY Our Boys Home PROMPTLY
Is This Trip Necessary?
DRESIDENT TRUMAN appear.

DRESIDENT TRUMAN appears
l. to be under considerable pressure
to undertake an early journey
abroad, either by sea or air or per-
haps by both, for the purpose of con-
ferring with Prime Minister
Churchill and Premier Stain.
He has indicated his willingness
TO do so, if it is necessary.
The time has come for the Amer
iican people TO speak up and say ii Is
NOT necessary.
IF FURTHER conferences of the
l. heads of the Allied states are
necessary, they could surely be held
with as great advantage and benefit
in Washington as elsewhere and
probably with greater contributions
to the success of the war.
Mr.. Churchill came to the United
States readily enough when the fate
of the British Empire was at stake,
and when American assistance was
the condition of it's survival.
Even the British royal family
found it convenient to come here at
a moment when the war impended,
and when it was foreseen that Ameri-
can help would soon be sought.
But since the success of the war
and the salvation of Britain have
been assured, it has been the Presi-
dent of the United States who has
done most of the hazardous travelling
abroad.
And Mr.. Stain has NEVER
journeyed to the capitals of his allies,
although American help has been as
vital to Russia as to Britain.
The President of the United
States should not venture abroad
again, and if the heads of the Allied
states deem it SO much in their inter
est to confer with him, let them
COME to him.
THE President cannot make such
L journeys in wartime without
grave risk of his life, and without
certain impairment of his health.
The tragic experiences of the late
President Roosevelt amply proved
these facts.
On every occasion when Mr..
Roosevelt travelled out of the country

T EFT us say what is in most mems
- minds to say but what many are
afraid to say. Speech in our America has
for long time been only technically free.
The great task before President Tru-
man is not the winning of the war. The
machinery of war is in good hands and
whatever we may decide victory will be
achieved.
The great task before President Tru-
man is to restore government to our peO-
pie so that they may mend our nation and
make It again land Of hope and glory.
We must not pass from the treadmill
of war into treadmill Of peace.
OUR country, although the people are
" only now sensing it, has been in
revolution which has already taken away
certain rights which our forefathers at
the opening of the American epoch
deemed inalienable.
We have been caught in the social
swirl which began with the Russian revo-
luton and which, no matter how grand
the preliminary ideology and the prom
ises to what is called the common man,
ends in the absolute, arbitrary state in
which Stain, Mussolini or Hitler,
with little band of sycophants, takes
over
The ghastly game starts with the
pomp and ends with the misery of war.

IL security has been skillfully offered

The Loyal Opposition

He values and re esp ects the
opinions of his colleagues in govern
ment.
He seeks and inspires their con-
fidence.
He regards the meeting of minds
among those responsible for govern.
ment as an object to be sought ahead
of a conflict of minds.
THIS is indeed the condition of
l. unity, and the true substance of
unity, and it is ONLY to be attained
through the medium of reasonable
and respectful consultation which
the colleagues of Mr.. Truman have
offered and which his own demon
stration of reasonable and cooper
ative mind has invited and welcomed.
There will always be partisanship
in democratic government, as there
always SHOULD be.
But partisanship can exist in an
atmosphere of cooperation and con-
fdence and good will much more use
fully and benefcially than in an
atmosphere of needless controversy
and recrimination.
President Truman should feel him
self sIgnaliy honored by this expression
of confidence and respect on the part OF
his Republican opposition.
1T ATTRIBUTES to him and &C
L knowledges qualities of leadership
that are bound to facilitate the pass
age of necessary legislation through
Congress, and to minimize the fric
ton and delay usually attending the
consideration of disputed legislation
Good relations betWeen Congress and
the Chief Executive are not merely I'M
portant for the maintenance of peace
and order in national affairs.
They play an important part in
the making of good laws, and in good
government itself.
President Truman has been giUen an
opportunity to haze STRONG ad-
niinistrotion by this sympathetic and
considerote gesture, and BETTER
administration.
It honors him, and it honors those
who made it; and it is in keeping
with the highest and best traditions
and principles of American de. ~
mocracy.
Detroit evening times., 1945-04-24

THE pledge of Republican support
Il of President Truman in the spirit
of "loyal opposition" is high testi-
mony to the respect and regard in
which the new Chief Executive is
held by his former colleagues in the
Senate, and it augurs well for a ma
tional and constructive administra-
tion of national affairs-not only for
the days of war that remain, but for
the vital period of reconversion and
reconstruction thereafter.
The meaning of this pledge is not
that the Republican senator's yield
their right to oppose President Tru-
man on issues regarding which their
views are irreconcilable.
DRESIDENT TRUMAN is too
l. familiar with the functions and
duties of Congress, and too firm a
believer in the wisdom and benefit of
the constitutional part in democratic
government which Congress plays, to
either expect or WANT such an
abandonment of rights by the legis-
lative branch.
It's real meaning, and its great
significance, are in the fact that his
Republican opposition considers him
capable of an honest and impartial
weighing of issues, even though
agreement upon them may not be
always possible.
This being true, the opposition
offers its consultation and counsel on
all contemplated acts and policies, IN
the hope of finding agreement upon
them without controversy.
This is of course the very essence
of the democratic system.
1T MAKES possible the unity of
leadership, and creates the at
mosphere of national unity, which is
so essential to the successful conduct
of war and which will be so useful
and beneficial to the nation after the
war.
The President of the United
States has his own responsibility in
this respect, and President Truman
seems to have an admirable Under
standing of his responsibility.

DRESIDENT TRUMAN has ade-

in all foreign capitals, and reliable

He has dependable and almost

For whatever gain there might be
from intimate personal conversations
and contacts abroad, there would be
far greater possibilities of loss and
even of tragedy.
President Truman has a tremen-

He should STAY at home for

them, then at least in the interest OF
his own health and security for

to overseas conferences, his life was
gravely endangered.
On all of these occasions he suf-
fered grave impairment of his health,
and his death was unquestionably
hastened and in all probability
caused by the strain of frequent and
hazardous travel.
DRESIDENT TRUMAN should not
be asked, and in fact should not
be PERMITTED, to subject himself
TO the same risks and hazards.
There was always great public
apprehension over the travels of Mr..
Roosevelt, and considerable question
of their necessity.
The army and navy and other
federal agencies responsible for his
safety always accepted that response
biity with reluctance and trepida-
tion.
1t can be we'll imagined what the
medical authorities responsible for
his health thought about it.
But whatever the conditions
might have been which influenced
Mr.. Roosevelt in his decisions and
justified him in them, they do not
exist now.
Detroit evening times., 1945-04-24

THIS is the explanation be-
hind all recent Roosevelt
Truman international policy de-
velopments as we'll as the of
fetal background tone and guide
for the conference.
In my opinion. there was
time a few weeks back when
the late Mr.. Roosevelt and his
State Secretary Stettinius may
have had their doubts about go
ing ahead. Their inability 10
gain their most important OBJ
iectives for small nations and
full democratic freedoms uni
versally may well have disap-
pointed them, and at that time
there was a chance this con-
ference might have been called
off.
Evidently they decided in
favor of the above outlined
course, and since then after di-
rect request. Britain changed
its mind and sent its Foreign
Minister Eden and Stain
changed and sent the equally
ranking Molotov.
THIS conference. in accord
ance with these detectives,
is to be thrown wide open. 1t
is 10 be free forum for airing
the causes of the little people
primarily. Officially, Mr.. Stet-
tinius has been saying il will
last four or five weeks. but is
more likely TO last a couple Of
months.
Discussion of everything is to
be allowed. Every nation will
be invited 10 say all it wishes.
The Dumbarton Oaks setup is
to be thrown literally upon the
table, as if 10 say to all:
Here il is; go to It."
Any hope that such a pro-
gram can be concluded in four
or five weeks is therefore, con-
cededly optimistic.
In the end, if there are mot
too many changes" in the Dunn
barton proposal, the conference
will be judged by this govern
ment TO have been success.
Now some authorities may
well differ with these funda-
mental conclusions of the gov
ernment. The alternative to
Dumbarton Oaks is not neceS-
sarily chaos or another world
war. Rather it is bi-lateral
agreements or hemisphere de-
fenSe or spheres of influence
maintained by individual under
standings and alliances and
substitute courses for peace.
These do not necessarily re-
quire wars. or make them any
more likely, than a weak or inn
practical formula for league,
containing, as this one does. the
right of big nations 10 veto any
interference with their own
warS-and no disarmament.
IT is unreasonable TO say that
L unless any specific course is
followed there will be another
world war, or, as the emotional
extremist Mr.. Wallace, TO con-
tend that any one who is
against his tariff views is "ad-
vocating another world war
Nonsense propaganda of this
nature might trap the admins
tration later if San Francisco
fails of its hopes in any par
ticular by leading people un-
necessarily to rush into another
war.
But failure at San Francisco
is unlikely Whether or not the
course is best. A rather general
domestic political agreement for
il has already been reached No
opposition is expressing itself
anywhere. Doubters have been
content TO say.

I'm ROUTE TO SAN FRAN
~ CISCO, April 23-Mr. Tru-
man called in privately most of
the American delegation TO this
world conference soon after he
took office tSeveral days before
the announced conference).
He told them they had their
Instructions from Mr.. Roosevelt
and he did not wish to change
those instructions in any par
ticular. His words implied that
while he could not go with them.
he would hold them responsible
for foiiowing every detail OF the
Roosevelt plan.
The plan, Of course, has not
been made public, any more
than was this Truman warning,
but it can be outlined upon the
highest living authority as run

placed upon our program. We
must do this because our first
duty is 10 do everything poSSi-

pen again. The next war would
destroy civilization.
No matter what we think the
best answer TO peace is. we must
come out of this meeting with
final formula for international
relationships. To do this we
must give and take. But essen
TALLY we must make a beginning
toward peace.
We have taken two or three
big initial steps (Atlantic Char
