The reports now are that these
Southerners, who have been mainly re-
sponsible for keeping the border States
Democratic, are bitterly opposed to Wal
lace and Pepper and almost as outdone
with President Truman, on account of
his continued lip service to New Deal
policies.
1t is improbable that many among
this Southern contingent will vote Re-
publican, but they have had a great
way of staying away from elections en-
tirely when they were dissatisfied with
the way their party was performing.
The reason why Monroney, Spence
and other Democratic candidates in the
border States are so disturbed about the
Wallace and OPA issues Is that these
seem to be disaffecting industrial work
ers as well as conservative ruralites
An instance especially applicable to
the border States was the resolution by
the Coal Mine Workers national con-
vention on Tuesday, condemning the
OPA and all its works. John L. Lewis
never was very successful in taking his
union rank and file away from President
Roosevelt, but neither did Lewis during
the Roosevelt regime have an issue

'Thut Guy Mikudo

From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The fact that I,kyo police are
shocked, and Tokyo court is puzzled,
by a political speaker who called the
Mikado that guy" proves that the
japanese are not nearly so close to
attaining democracy as official spokes-
men profess.
In a democracy, such phrase In
campaign time is mild as zephyr. and
between campaigns, too. Consider what
the opposition used to call Franklin d.
Roosevelt, and historians report that
Washington, jefferson, Lincoln and
most other Presidents got the same, or
worse. They survived; what's more,
they often enjoyed replying in kind
FDR usually met every epithet with
another just as effective. THAT man
in the White House was always ready
to carry the war into the country Of
the economic royalists."
When Jap police are no longer hor-
rified, and Jap courts aren't pNrplexed
any more, and Hirohito becomes nom
divine enough to retort "that dope" to
the speaker who called him "that guy"
then Japan can claim some real prog
ress on the road to democracy.

Bradley does not think so and it is

despite the noisy backing which Mr..
Steele received from delegates to
the Legion convention. It may we'll
be; as the general told the Legion,
that the ceiling on income should
be adjusted to meet changed living

bad faith involved in the placing
OF barrier against the excesses
Of the few who would take unfair
advantage Of veterans benefits. The
American Legion should be the first
to recognize this and to support the

Fortunately, the lad got on her car

found them wonderful inspiration for

Lunier Commemoruted

Sidney Lanier was well known in
Washington, and even If that were
not the case the unveiling of his
bust in the Hall of Fame at New
York University yesterday would be
an occurrence of Importance and
Significance. His claim to be remem-
bered by such of his countrymen as
care for poetry, music and conscious
good manners in living is very real.
He was an American who justified
to the full the right of workers in
the arts in the United States to be
considered on a parity with the best
of their contemporaries in the older
national cultures of Europe.
Born at Macon, Georgia, February
8, 1842, Lanier began his career in
literature as student of Scott. The
gift of a small, one-keyed flute as
a Christmas present influenced him
profoundly. Largely self-taught as
a child, he later attended Oglethorpe
University and, having been grad
uated at the head of his class, was
appointed a tutor-only to be called
away by the excitement OF the early
phases of the Civil War. The story
of his experience as soldier is sad
reading. He came out of the conflict
with his creative talents matured
and sharpened but with his health
irretrievably broken. Poverty added
to his sufferings.
But Lanier, despite his troubles,
struggled valiantly to succeed in his
double vocation. Settling at Balti-
more in 1879, he played in the Pea

Legion Demuqoquery

National Commander John STEELE
of the American Legion was playing
with dynamite when he accused
General Omar Bradley of break
ing faith" with the veterans of
World War II. It is not surprising
that the dynamite blew up in his
face. He asked for the Bradley ex-
plosion and he got 1t in way that
attests anew the courage and the
sincerity of one whose fighting
qualities won him the nickname of
the "GI's General"
Like some of Mr.. Stelle's earlier
blasts against General Bradley, his
charge impugning the good faith of
a man who has lived with, fought
with and championed the American
soldier in history's two greatest wars
is absurd on its face. Mr.. Stelle is
given to making loose charges, it
seems. General Bradley pointed out
that only few months ago Com
mander Stelle broke into print with
unfair and unfounded charges Of a
tragic breakdown" at the Veterans
Administration and a prediction
that thousands of disabled veterans
would be kicked out Of our hos
pitals." The charges were quickly
disproved by the veterans admins
traitor and the prediction, of course,
has proved to be baseless.
The Legion commanders latest
accusation was prompted by his ire
over the action of Congress in ap-
proving General Bradley's recon-
mendation for a $200-a- month cell
ing on income of veterans drawing
subsistence allowances while in
training for jobs. Congress took
this step after General Bradley had
told of outrageous abuses which

Democrats Double Trouble
By Jay G. Hayden

Assumption by Representatives Brent
Spence of Kentucky and A. s. Mike
Monroney of Oklahoma of places on the
political anxious seat affords the most
striking illustration so far of alarm
among Democratic congressional candi-
dates over the meat shortage and the
Wallace affair.
Monroney, who had enlisted for the
campaign as executive assistant to ma
tional Democratic Chairman Robert
Hannegan, suddenly has returned to his
Oklahoma city district in response to
warning from his personal managers
that he is in grave danger Of defeat.
And Spence, on Tuesday, emerged
from the White House to tell newspaper
men that he had told the President of
the dissatisfaction of the people in my
country" about the shortage of meat and
other commodities and had pleaded for
some remedial action before election.
Spence and Monroney led the fight in
the House for full continuance of the
OPA. They fought hardest of all against
any lifting of meat price control But
fighting for their political lives on ac-
count Of this action.
Spence is completing his eighth con-
secutive term in the House and was re-
elected the last time by majority of
7,815-48, 900 to 41,154. Monroney, now
running for a fourth term, won, by
majority of 34,925 in 1914, and since then
was awarded the Collier trophy, as the
most valuable member of the House. He
was the author, with Senator Robert La
Toilette of Wisconsin, of the recently
adopted plan for congressional reorgan-
ization.
Until Monroney and Spence them
selves indicated that they were scared,
there was little suggestion even among
Republicans that they might be beaten.
but the Republicans all along have been
hopeful Of substantial gains in all six
Southern border States - Kentucky,
Oklahoma, Missouri, West Virginia,
Maryland and Delaware. The collective
House representation of these States
presently consists Of 80 Democrats and
II Republicans, and all except Oklahoma
have Senators up for reelection this
year. ii,
It may be significant that Henry A
Wallace has disclosed no invitations to
speak anywhere in this region, and the
only one Of the six States upon the
speaking schedule of Senator Claude
Pepper Of Florida is West Virginia. The
Maryland Democratic organization last
week specifically disavowed sponsorship
of political speech Harold L. Ickes
had been scheduled to deliver in Balti-
more, whereupon the address was can
celled.
Not only have many of the Demo-
cratic congressional Representatives
from the border States voted in an
anti-New Deal manner during the last
two years, but in these States there are
large pockets Of Southern sympathizers

servatism as any found in Virginia, Mis-

has done little to clamp them down. His
words were soothing, but the actions

after the Russian leaders statement con-
tradicted his declaration.
Mr.. Byrnes decided to cross his rs
and dot his rs when he said, II concur
most heartily in the views recently ex-
pressed by Generalissimo Stain -
but he added, significantly, II hope that
his statement will put an end to unwar-
ranted charges that any nation or group
OF nations is seeking to encircle the
Soviet Union or that responsible leaders
in the Union SO believe"
Mr.. Byrnes' speech was carefully pre-
pared in consultation with tie White
House and the Secretaries Of War and
Navy, who are responsible for the imple-
mentation Of this country's foreign poll
cies. Secretary Forrestal's statement
this week that the American Navy is in
the Mediterranean to support our for
eign policy was not incidental It served
to give advance support to Mr.. Byrnes'
Thursday declaration. The same ap-
plies to the announcement made by Gen.
Spaatz that new heavy-bomber group
will be sent to Europe soon.
Moreover, an indication that the ter
ritorial integrity of Turkey, Greece and
Iran is of major concern to this country
is expected to come from the State De-
partment shortly. Whether it will be
expressed bluntly or will be coated in the
unsual diplomatic phraseology Is not
certain at this time. But whatever its
form. there is no question that the an
nouncement will be understood in the
countries behind the iron curtain
Mr.. Byrnes and his advisers feel that
the antiwar sentiment in the United
States may have encouraged some of
the top men in Moscow's Politbureau to
press to the limit their advantages based
on military strength. Our desire to
avoid war has been interpreted in Mos
COW as extreme weakness, just as Hitler
interpreted the feeling in Britain and
France in 1898 and 1889.
Secretary Byrnes has now made last
attempt to dispel the Russian miscon-
ception that our fervent desire for peace
does not mean that we will allow the
Slavic bloc to ride roughshod over us.

Might Be Worth d Try

Commenting the other day on the
vacancy on the Public Utilities Com
mission, which has remained untitled
for a whole year, The Star suggested
that perhaps nobody had thought
OF calling 1t to the attention Of the
President. The Star is now in
formed, by reliable sources at the
White House, that such is the case.
The President evidently has not
received word that for twelve months
the Public Utilities Commission has
been operating with two, instead of
three, commissioners. The sugges-
ton is therefore, humbly advanced
that Chairman Flanagan sit down
and write a letter to Commissioner
Young, telling him about the va
cancy, and that Commissioner
Young relay this information to the
White House. Thus, in the course
Of human events, the White House
staff will receive the information
and transmit it to the President.
And before snow falls we shall, per-
haps, hear of the appointment of
another Public Utilities Commits
sioner. The course outlined above
is q very difficult and involved un-
dertaking but The Star believes
that it is worth while, after all,
and should be tried.

This Changing World
By Constantine Brosyn

Secretary of State Byrnes In his
speech In Paris yesterday went as far
as any man In his responsible position
could 60 to warn the world that while
another world war may not be inevitable.
the present situation. unless drastically
remedied by the good will Of all powers,
might lead to third catastrophe.
In some political quarters in Washing
ton Mr.. Byrnes' speech Is regarded as an
answer to former Secretary of Com
merce Wallace's bombshell of three
weeks ago and was intended to dispel
the last fears Of the western nations that
Americas foreign policy Is subjected ex-
clusively to domestic political expedi-'
ency.
Mr.. Byrnes recalled that after every
major war there have been strong diver
gences among the victorious nations.
There were dissensions after the Napo-
leonic wars, and there were even greater
dissensions after the First World War
These were caused mainly by land grab
policies.
The present danger lies in the struggle
between two ideologies. The nations in
the west desire to settle down for a
lengthy period of peace without too
great an appetite for the lands of the
defeated countries They want the in
evitable territorial readjustments. but
their chief objective is to avoid another
war. All are anxious to settle the Diff
cult postwar problems in their own way.

Opposing this group is the Slavic bloc,
which wishes to expand at the expense
of the former foes and friends-as in the
case OF the Balkan Slavs regarding
Greece. and Russia regarding Iran and
Turkeys Moreover, through a virulent
NTH column, they are attempting to i'm
pose their totalitarianism on the rest
of the world, which for the time being
cannot be brought into line by force.
The concern of the Secretary of State
is contained in his statement that ito
ignore that conflict Gin viewpoints
among the Allies) or minimize its seri-
business will not solve the conflict nor
help us along the road to peace"
Nations which still enjoy relative
or absolute freedom are desperately at
tempting to erase the fear of another
war which is even more widespread in
Europe than in this country. Prime
