Interview Hannegan

EDITORS NOTE: This is the second of two exclusive interviews with the national chairmen of the major parties concerning November election campaigns and prospects. COP. Chairman B. Carroll Reeces views were set forth in a previous column by Mr. EdsOn)
 WASHINGTON Sept. 27- (NEA) - Hold the line Against Reaction" is the slogan which Demo- cratic National Committee Chairman Robert E. Han negan of Missouri has put forward for the Congress sional elections of ls46, now only six weeks away
 If this sounds though the Democratic Party is the defensive in this campaign, for the first time in IA years, Hannegan quick to point out that the defense is really offense," against reaction from the dead past The Republicans, he says, have program and the Democratic offensive is against this lack of program.
 It is common failing of all politicians that they like to state the position of their opponents setting up a straw which they tear to pieces. To chairman Hannegan, the platform which the Re- publican candidates running in this campaign is merely the generality of, Take the country back to old-fashioned conservatism"
 On this assumption, the principal issue of the campaign is. in Hannegan's words Shall cherish and hold the advances we have made under respon- Sible government as administered by the greatest leader of his time-Franklin D. Roosevelt-and by his successor-Harry S. Truman-or must America turn back to the dead past?"
 Some critics of the administration have charac- terized this Democratic statement of principles at stake in the election "an efforJ to Franklin D. Roosevelt for Congress in 1946
 To that charge Hannegan replies by quoting Roosevelt himself to the effect that there an indispensable man in politics, but there in- dspensable principles"
 Those indispensable principles" says Hannegan, "are what We are fighting for"
 He lists those issues as the social gains made by the Roosevelt administrations from 1883 to l945 plus the 2l-point program of postwar measures stated by President Truman in his message to Congress last

Away From It All

One of the ronc stories of postwar America concerns Robert Smith of Portland Ore Bob l8 and Merchant Marine veteran The other day he left for Tahiti in 18 foot oop all alone He told reporters that he would stay on the South Sea island 'unti conditions change here
 few years ago such departure would have gone al most unnoced sigh of envy for lost youth and lost dar ing probably would have summed the average reaction But today, somehow it's different The Japs didn't get to Tahiti But they got to islands like tsands so re- mote and so little outside of fiction that before the war, they seemed escapist symbols than physical realities.
 But they were real enough those Americans found who went there in pursuit of the aps Maybe Bob Smith there Anyway he must have heard good bit about them the rest of did These South Sea islands weren't quite the paradise had imagined There was searng heat learned and steaming heat and drenchng raln and bugs and smells and other things uncomfortable than picturesque.
 A lot of Americans died in the South Seas They paid
 price to free the islands from the threat of war and the balefu prospect of Japanese coprosperty In doing they also paid price to free their own country from the same threat
 But their comrades survived to back to that coun try and to the homes they had dreamed o They came back in triumph to start life among their grateful countrymen The world free the tyrants were dead defeated victory and the victors would cherish their freedom with greater devotion because of the blood that shed to preserve it.
 All that sounds little effusive and emotional today. But is the sort of thing that most of us thinking year But not today Today our minds are full or seshness and suspicion and recrmnation We fume and damn strikes and shortages We beginning to re- sign ourselves to the possibility of another war.
 Is it surprising then, had lad named Bob Smith, young confused discouraged and dsusioned started out alone 3,500-mle journey in little boat? It shouldn't be surprising because sent him awaynot neghbor somebody in Washington, or somebody else whom we blame for the state of the country, but all of us
 We should be ashamed individually and collectively. We should be ashamed because too of have done just what Bob Smith did, except that haven't away physically. We forgive it in 18year-old kid, who had been promised and prosperity and better world for helping to fight and win the But stayathomes we who supposedly older and wiser have no excuse

WASHINGTON, Sept 27-With the stock market "actng up" more than at any time in five years, Secretary of the Treasury Snyder to bring the Secur iteS and Exchange Commission back from Philadel- phia Created by Roosevelt protect the public from Wall Street, the SEC is still being carefully kept out of WaShington-and certain interests hope it mains in exile.
 Meanwhile, had Secretary Snyder consulted the SEC before making his ambiguous statement on the slump he would have found significant report garding the entire stock market Here of the inside facts shown in the SEC report:
 l. Several weeks before the market nose dived new issues of airplane and auto stocks failed to arouse public buying, so that the underwriting houses stuck with the stocks had to raise cash to pay for them This meant they had to unload Govern ment bonds and blue-chip stocks such du Fonts and American Tel and Tel to get the cash. This was the first selling wave to sag the market
 2. Simultaneously investment houses got wind of new fear psychology. The public was afraid the long upward climb of the market at end. They wanted to sell before the downward trend started. Telltae sign was the fact that Congressional defeat of OPA should have sent the market soaring but didn't
 3. Later the Commerce Department issued a report that 18 billions in inventories had piled up factory shelves and that inventories increasing at the rate of half a billion per month faster than goods are being consumed This storm warning that the peak of the boom was passed.
 4. The high employment rate (57 million in Juy) is due partly to the fact that the Government is still spending 18 billions year armaments al most three times the entire national budget in peacetimes.
 NOTE: On the other hand the U. S. population increases plus the tremendous buying power still in the hands of the public plus the continued scarcity of many consumers goods should offset some of these downward factors The country according to Washington economists is basicaly sound.
 John L. Lewis, the most powerful in the American Federation of Labor, is comparing himself to Napoleon.
 Lunching with friend who complimented him his tremendous labor victories Lewis swelled with pride the friend recalled how John L. had bludg eoned more out of the White House for his miners than any other labor leader, had helped master mind the AF.L. seamens strike and had been praised by Robert U. Wason, president of the Ma tional Association of Manufacturers.
 Don't you feel elated over all these vctories?" asked the friend.
 No, not particularly" replied Lewis. T guess Napoleon didn't feel particularly eated when he won campaign he had planned for months"

A QUESTION
Hartford Times)

The voters of Maine turned down, 2 to l, bonus for veterans. The Democratic candidate for governor, himself veteran, opposed the bonus and ran well ahead of his ticket. The Republican candidate favored the bonus and ran well behind his ticket. Many veterans, when they gave the matter close attention, op- posed the plan to bond the State for $43 100000 a considerable mort gage on the future earnings of the taxpayers of the State.
 The question some are raising in Connecticut is what opportunity will the opponents of the bonus have at the election in November or in the Legislature? Some veterans are also discussing this point Both political parties have pumped for the bonus. Their platforms advocate it. Their candidates are vieing with. each other for the soldier vote.
 Under those conditions practi- Senate and the House can feel that cally all candidates elected to the they have mandate to support the bonus. Only persons who have back bone enough to stand on their own convictions might be expected to oppose the band-wagon bonus pro- poSal.
 It would be interesting to learn what the voters of Connecticut really want done about the bonus, veter- ans and others alike. A secret vote at the polls on this highly contro- versial question would be a far more accurate barometer of public opin- ion than the campaigning clamor that has been created by political maneuvers.
 As matters stand, those who op- pose bonus are probably licked before they start. It seems hardly the fair way for testing the cleo torate's desire to determine what its mandate really is to it's Sena- tors and Representatives who will come to Capitol Hill in January.

Democrats also may suffer, to what extent it is not yet possible to tell from the left and Yight-wng fight in the party dramatzed by dismissal of Henry Wallace from the Truman Cabinet That has had
 depressing effect liberal clements including the CIO, which is needed to get out the vote. Mir Wal lace and Senator Pepper O.. Fla) had been billed for extensive rallies in the state How much they had been counted upon plainly indicated when Bob Hannegan National Democratic Chairman, hastened to announce here in Chicago in company with Mayor Kelly that the ban against official party sponsorship of the two men does not preclude speeches under oh CT auspices. MT. Hannegan worried.
 There is thus in numerous circumstances a po- tentia Republican uprising here But the questionable factor that, while people grumbing about many things, they do not yet seem according to reliable observers, to be made enough to off real -evo- lution. Prosperity is general which makes it difficult to translate dissatisfaction into action.
 This is well symbolized by a cartoon in Col Rob- ert R. McCormick'S Chicago Tribune showing the COP. elephant bent double laughing at Demo- cratic donkey in confounded contortions, with the caption: Jumbo had better train on something more than laughs"
 Republicans conceedd a chance in three Cook County districts now held by Democrats-the third second and nnth also in the East St Louis district. They also are hoping that statewide upsurge might uproot Mrs Douglas though she has substantial nde- pendent strength, as well as support among Repub- lican women If the Polish voters are as aroused as some to think about administration foreign policy, they might switch to Republicans in sufficient numbers to swing the seventh district in Cook County to Republicans
 This year is comparable in some respects to the off-year election in 1942 when Republicans picked up A House seats. Labor organized politically then now, and substantial labor vote was not registered because of migration to defense indus tries. If labor sits down this year or makes only feeble effort that might switch some or all of these districts. Democrats held to the second and sev- enth in 1922 by only thin margins and lost the third and ninth and 22nd. The vote small that year, as it may be this year.

THE MARKET SLUMP
(New Bedford Standard-Times)


 Among the many explanations of the drop in security values is one that names the Government pro- hibition of buying on margins as a contributing factor. Since the first of the year, the buyer of stocks has had to pay cash for them in full. It has not been possible for him to pay a percentage of the price and to go into debt for the remainder, posting his shares as security for the loan.
 When the current bear market began to gain headway, it was pointed out that this order by the Government had protected owners of shares from the disaster that overlook so many of them in the crash of 1929. On that occasion, when the value of securities de- clined, and owners could not put up any more collateral, they were sold out by their creditors and lost all their equity
 Under the present rule, the value of persons holdings may go down, but having paid for them in full, he can hold on in the expectation that the market will improve-provided of course, he has not used them as collateral for loans not connected with their purchase.
 Criticism of the cash market sys- tenn is that buying under it cannot absorb concentrated selling quickly enough to prevent unreasonable price declines. That may be so, but the most plausible explanation of the slump in the stock market is the generally disturbing picture of domestic and world affairs.

September the record of the Democratic majority 1n the 18th Congress which adjourned last month.
 The record of this last Congress Hannegan be- eves has been subject to considerable misinterpre tation
 Any citizen who is inclined to hold the present aomlnlstrauon responsible for todays high prices, shortages or labor troubles, he says, should recall that the Democrats voted four to for price trol while the Republicans voted -four to one against Furner that the Democratic majority voted three to one TOT the veterans housing program, while the Republicans voted three to against.
 Tt is admitted that there were individual Demo- cratic Congressmen who dissented and voted against these and other administration measures But orlty of the Democrats in Congress supported them and the party should be judged on its majority rec ord"
 To the Republican contention that this record from 1882 on reeks of Communism, the Democratic chairman replies that this is bill of goods which the Republicans have been trying to sell since 194O without success"
 Before that time, says Hannegan, the Repubn- cans followed me, too line in which they claimed they could manage the Roosevelt reforms better than the Democrats. Today the Republican line is blan- ket indictment that the Democratic Party is dom- mated by the CIO.-PAc. and other left-wing ele- ments
 While the Democratic leadership gives full credit to the PAC. for being a powerful organization with many voters members defending the cause of labor, Hannegan declares that the Democratic plat form and program were written long before P.A.C. was born.
 The position of the P.A.C. is, therefore inter preted thusy: The PAC. has a program which hap pens to agree with the Democratic platform, but after an election the PAC. leaders carry weight in the White House in Congressional conferences and policy making.
 The program of the Democratic Party is not yev- outionary, Hannegan insists, but merely the Gadi- tUna. American free enterprise System Lhexated from many of its old abuses and privileges to re actionary and selfish minoritieS

Mir. Vishinsky's Attitude

Andre Vishinsky Russias representative at the Paris Conference has given the most cOnsummate know to Russo phes in America who ask, "Why suspicious of Russia? The is to be found in Mr. Vshnskys charge that Americans made cash profit during the while Russian soldiers spilled their blood! The answer as further epitomized is-'ingratitude!'
 How to deal peaceably with nation whose rep resentave ready to forget the billions in endease to Russia to stem the Naz tide not to mention the blood spilled by young Americans in the nvasions at Nor mande and Africa and the conquest of the aphed Pacific great threat to the Russian Empire?
 In the continued interests of efforts to deal with the Soviets friendly basis only conclude that Mr. Vshnky does not and therefore does not speak for the gallant Russian soldiers who sacrificed courageousy There is brotherhood in nothing else The brotherhood of spilled blood whether that blood be Rus san British, Chinese American. Only by such can the true cost be determined
 It is unhappy affair when representative of an ally sits at socaled Peace table and accuses of placing selfish monetary interests the lives of He doesn't know the majority rank and file of citizens who their blood courageousy carried when loved ones died before enemy guns Russia lacking in moral balance if she persists in this course.
