The Democratic leadership at
home and abroad reaffirmed it's
faith in the administrations for
eign policy today and moved to
unity the party on all fronts be-
fore the November elections.
In l,000-word restatement of
principles, the Executive Commit
tee of The Democratic national or
ganization declared that the party
has "forsaken isolationism and ap-
peasement.'
Then, evidently mindful of the
intraparty rift created by Henry
Wallace, it added:
"The American delegation at the
Paris Peace Conference is struggling
patiently and firmly for the ad-
vancement of these principles of
peace-and the American people will
back them to the limit"
1914 Platform Aims Reaffirmed.
simultaneously, Secretary of State
Byrnes-with whose policy Mr.. Wal
lace collided in his American-Rus
sian spheres of influence" speech
asserted at Paris that Mr.. Truman's
statement last week backing up Mi
Byrnes had reaSSured the world.
1t was Mr. Byrnes first utterance
on the controversy which reached
its climax when Mr.. Truman fired
Mr.. Wallace from the cabinet.
In its declaration here, the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee re-
affirmed the aims of the 1914 plat
form, praised Mr.. Truman's leader
ship and-with apparent reference
to Republican criticisms that the
party is still running on the Roose-
welt program-declared in a sepa-
rate resolution:
Not only do We have in America
an enlightened and responsible gov
ernment faithfully adhering to the
humane and progressive principles
OF Roosevelt: We have program
created by President Harry S. Tru-
man as statesman and leader in
his own right"
Il
On domestic affairs, the main pol
Icy statement said the administra-
tion's price control bill was "sabo-
tagged by the Republican leadership
at the behest of selfish interests,
but that the administration would
continue the fight to hold down the
cost of living.
Republican imitation today means
Republican depression tomorrow"
the statement said.
1t promised further tax reductions
"as rapidly as sound financial policy
will permit" adding:
irresponsible promises of income
tax reductions by Republican leaders
are impossible of performance if a
balanced budget is to be achieved
Loyal Congress Urged.
While Mr.. Byrnes used the phrase
regardless of which party is in
power, the committee in a preface
to its foreign policy declaration
called for election of Congress in
sympathy with Truman policies. A
hostile Congress, it continued, would
proclaim to the world that there
is dlsunity at home and that our
negotiators for peace do not repre-
sent united America"
The statement said Americas for
eign policy is set firmly upon the
rock of world organization and COL
lective security, and dedicated to
The gradual but steady advancement
Of the four freedoms throughout one
interdependent world"
The committee adopted peace,
production and progress" as the
watchwords of the party in this
'fateful year of decision"

Indies Governor Sees
Big Economic Gains
Under New Republic
BY the A..oeio.sd Pres,

BATAVIA, Indonesia, Nov. l9.--
DR.. HubertuS j. van Nook, acting
governor general of the Netherlands
Indies, said today that the proposed
sovereign United States of Indonesia
promised greater mutual economic
gains to Dutch, Indonesian and for
eign capital than were possible
under colonial status Of the Indies.
The US1 was pledged sovereignty
In a draft agreement initiated last
Saturday by delegates of the Neither
lands and the Indonesian republic,
whose authority over Java, Sumatra
and Madeira the agreement recog-
nized.
Qualified observers said the draft
agreement was sure to meet much
vocal opposition when submitted to
the Dutch Parliament at The Hague,
but they declared approval was in
sured because Laborite William H.
j. Schermerhorn and Catholic Party
member Max van Poll, both on the
commission general that negotiated
with the Indonesians, had the man
date Of big parliamentary majority.
Economic Stability Expected.
Military tension undoubtedly will
mark the next month as military ex-
tremists on both sides do not want
peaceful settlement. DR.. van Nook
tomorrow will ask the Dutch, targets
of Indonesian sniping, to contain
themselves.
Highest echelon Dutch and In
donesians feel that in the long run
the draft agreement will make for
the most economically stable In
donesia possible.
The republic of Indonesia is ex-
pected to favor strong USI gov
eminent because its numerical DOM
nation insureS 1t the strongest
federal position and because most
of the Indies tin, oil and other
minerals are outside Java, the re-
public's stronghold. The Repub-
licans feel that II the revenue from
natural resources formerly accruing
to the Indies government now goes
to the federal treasury, Java's A.
100000 persons will benefit most.

some of them are your actual neigh

The second concert Of the series,
which was scheduled to be held at

almost certain to win one of the
Security Council seats, while main
contenders for the remaining two
were Belgium, India and Syria. The
seats will go to the three nations
who receive the greatest number of
votes in secret ballot.
Economic and Social Council
members may succeed themselves
and the present members are ex-
pected to be reelected in most cases.
The only possibilities for changes
were in reported moves of Latin
Americans to push Venezuela for
the seat now held by Colombia and
OF another group to support replace
ment Of Yugoslavia by New Zealand.
The report of the Political Com
mittee recommending that the As

the Security Council of five rejected
applications for u. N. membership
may produce debate in today's SEES
sion since the move has been con-
sistently opposed by Russia and sew
