u. NJ:
M0ue to DiSdrnr

The war-weary old world seemed
headed for substantial disarmament
as Russia took the lead in the Unit
ed Nations to force reduction in
militarization.
In the first U. N. step toward dis
armament, members agreed to re-
port on the strength of their armed
forces at home and abroad by jan
uary /. Originally, the Reds had
asked that the report be confined to
the number Of Allied troops on for
eign soil, but the U. S. and Britain
were quick to call for count of forces
at home as well.
Continuing to dominate the dis
armament spotlight, Russia then
proposed the creation of an inter-
national commission to supervise
disarmament, reversing previous
Soviet objections to such control.
Favor for the proposal, however,
was qualified by misapprehension
over the Russian provision that such
an international commission would
be subject to the veto power Of the
security council.

WORLD TRADE:
Dra,U Blueprint

Representatives of Is countries
- except Russia - have been meet
ing in London with the signal task
Of drawing up blueprint for world
trade to be considered at an inter-
national conference to take place
in the fall Of 1947. ...
As the delegates in London sweat
ed over their labors. a recon-
mendation for full employment
emerged as one Of the No. ac-
complishments Of the parley. Rec
ognizing the inter-relationships of
nations in economic affairs, the con-
ferees agreed that all countries are
responsible not only to their own
people but to all others to maintain
purchasing power end a high de-
mand for consumer goods.
Methods for working out this prin-
ciple were left to individual coun-
tries. In cases where one nation was
selling more to another and there
by developing an unfavorable trade
balance, the creditor country was
given discretion to determine what
steps to take to even out the ex-
change.

TEXAS:
Landlords Sit Do,Un

No rental property owner herself
but a Gold Star mother who lost a
son over Germany, Mrs. Frank
Morris of Dallas took over COM
mand of a landlords sit down in
Texas to abolish rent control and
restore owners rights to manage
their own holdings.
AS 5000 dwelling units in Dallas
remained empty because of land
lords refusal to let them and vets
walked the city's streets in search
of housing, Mrs. Morris termed
rent control a violation of tradi-
tional American rights.
Two World War / vets were in
the forefront of the landlords
movement. Abed with heart trouble
resulting from German shell-fire in
1918, Joe H. Blann held one five
room cottage and l8 flats vacant
after OPA had obtained $289 judg-
ment against him in a price squab-
BILE. Bemedaled Capt. John r.
Lowery kept SO apartments empty
because he charged owners pos
sessed no control over destructive

ably surprised. His audience was
almost captivated. In fact, as the
speech went on, one after another
of the listeners showed that Wal
lace's views were well received
were anything but inimical to busi-
ness. Many of the ideas he ad-
vanced were accepted as sound,
sane and sensible. So far-so good.
Wallace reached the end of his pre-
pared script and then, suddenly
overcome with this strange defen-
sive complex, this suspicion" said
something to this effect: Tonight

and mine, for / realize that you

have talked with a great many
men who knew Wallace well. Most
of them who liked him still like him.
But many who supported him in the
past follow him no longer.
One of them said to me:
Henry Wallace has been drowned
at last in a sea of ideas. He has
gone down for the third time and
there is nobody with a lifeline ham
dy."
Think OF two other men, one an
experienced government official, a
trained politician; another an ardent
New Dealer who happens to be
equipped with a mathematical mind
sharp as steel trap-each of these
men followed Henry Wallace long
way. But each man at one point
in his career suddenly stopped
aghast at one of Wallace's se1f-cre-
ated misadventures, shrugged his
shoulders and regretfully turned
away. --~s.s~-t
One.of the first criticisms you hear
from Wallace's political friends is
that he has no political sense.
AS head of the department Of ag-
riculture, Wallace, according to most
disinterested observers, was sac
cess as policy-maker and an ad-
miristrator. Don't bring up the
little pigs-he did that against every
one of his natural predilections.)
AS secretary of commerce he was
a dismal failure.
Wallace did understand agricul-
ture, agriculturists tfarmers) and
agronomy. He believed that he had
(and has)t the correct formula
for solving the economic (business)
ills OF the country. But what he
didn't realize was that he was. handi-
capped by what is incorrectly called
an "inferiority complex" when it
comes to dealing with human be-
ings who made the wheels of busi-
ness 60 round. He had strange
and deep suspicion of the business
world. Perhaps that wasn't so
strange for it reflects the natural
attitude of the farmer toward the
"city slicker." Perhaps 1t was an
other phase of that "shyness" which
characterized Wallace.
Let's look at this suspicion" busi-
ness: -
On one Of several occasions, Wal
lace as secretary of commerce iad-
dressed a prominent group Of con-
servative business men. His col
leagues watched the event with con-
siderable trepidation. They knew the
group was unsympathetic to Wal
lace and that Wallace knew it. How
ever, it provided an opportunity to
create a friendly atmosphere, if
nothing more. Wallace made swell

Jealous Eye on Antarctica

Adm. Richard Byrd is about to
take off again for Antarctica with
d horde of anxious nations worried
to death lest he run away with the
five million square miles of ice
capped rock which covers the south
polar regions as the dew. covers
Dixie (but differently.
The foreign claims are legitimate
enough, for daring explorers have
sbeen nibbling at that piece of FROST
bitten plateau digger than Europe)
ever since John Briscoe actually dis
covered what was given the name Of
Enderby land in the early nineteenth
century. Many others followed, but
few took the keen interest in the
T. Antarctic waste that Admiral Byrd
did, although he didn't turn in that
direction until after he had flown
over the North Pole.
Which reminds me Of dull Sun
day, May 9, 1925. I was keeping
watch in the Washington office of q
feature syndicate which had the
rights to Byrd's adventures. We

Intimates Admire
WdlLdce's Integrity

Men who know Wallace best agree
that he Is absolutely honest, that
he is unselfish, that he can be a
very deep student of subject which
interests him, that he has a power
full ambition to be leader of the
forces that will preserve old-fash-
ioned American free enterprise and
competitive capitalistic endeavor.
But he is willing to adopt strange
methods to achieve this. (Remem-
Der the little pigs.)
In making clear to his friends that
it was his ambition to be secretary
of commerce he convinced them of
his belief in five propositions. They
were that:
1. He believes the capitalistic
system cannot survive another
war.
2. He believes the capitalistic
system cannot survive another
financial depression such as we
went through in the early 30s.
8. He is convinced that the
country IL headed dor another
such depression.
4. He believes that this ca
tastrophe can be avoided II GER
tain simple measures are taken.
S. He believes that this end
the perpetuation Of free enter
prise - justifles almost any
means.
AS soon as Wallace became Sec
retary of commerce he attempted to
reorganize the department along
lines which had made the depart
ment of agriculture so successful in
sofar as cooperation between gov
ernment and farmers is concerned.
One Of the first steps was to try to
establish system Of field agents"
(similar to- agriculture's county
agents). Good men were hard to
find; it takes time to build such a
system. The personnel recruited
under such conditions and within so
short a time would be bound to in
clude many incompetents and thus
open the system to immediate at
tack by an unfriendly congress. New
ertheless, Wallace pushed the idea
as far as he could during his tenure
of office. This, his critics say,
showed his inability to perform in a
field with which he was unfamiliar,
showed his lack Of political sense"
Cor, if you will, his failure to grasp
the complexities Of inter-personal
relations).
Like many other men who have
been thrust into high government Of
f1ces without sufficient political ex-
perience, he attempted to absorb
that experience vicariously. The
very fact that he lacked an under
standing of political and personal
relations caused him to accept ad-
visors and counsellors who frequent
ly led him astray. Perhaps if he
had been less advised his conduct
would have been less il-advised.
