The American delegates supported
by q number Of Western European
powers are backing Italys applica-
ton to enter the U. N. This was one
of the main promises made to the
government of Alcide de Gasperi
and the Italian National Assembly
to induce them to ratify the other

Opposed by Russia.
The Russian government has de-
cided to oppose Italy's entrance into
the U. NJ. unless the United States
and other nations grant the same
privilege to her satellites-Bulgaria,
Albania and Hungary.
The Italian government repre-
sents the people and came to power
In free election in which Com
munists, together with other parties,
were granted the right of voting
without interference or terrorism.
Italy has a democratic government
today, in the real meaning of the
word.
Bulgaria, Albania and Hungary
have governments set up by Mos
COW. Elections were faxed and
members of the opposition either
jailed or executed. Only last week
the leader of the Bulgarian Agrarian
Party. Nikola Petkov, was hanged
because he refused to become a
Soviet tool.
In Romania the old leader Of the
Romanian democrats, Juliu MANU-,
who risked his life in opposing the
Nazis, has been jailed as an enemy

Of the people. There Is little doubt
that eventually he will share Mr.
Petkov's fate.
The same thing happened in
Hungary, except that Premier
Ferenc Macy managed to escape and
has come to live in the United
States, while Bella Kovacs, secretary
Of the Smallholders' Party, was re-
ported to have died In Jail.
These nations which take the q.
N. seriously believe that only free
and independent countries should
become members of that organ
ization. As bait to get Russia into
the U. NJ, President Roosevelt agreed
that two Of the 16 republics which
make up the U. 8. 8. r. should be
considered independent and accept
ed into the U. N. Subsequent de-
velopments placed Poland, Yugo-
slavia and-to q lesser extent
Czechoslovakia behind the iron cur
tain. They were, however, permit
ted to become -fiedged members
Of the U. N. Thus, Russia today
has bloc Of six votes at her dis
posal in the Assembly.
Russia Needs 20 Votes.
The proposed solution for the
Palestine problem has irked the
Arab states-Iraq, Saudi Arabia,
Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Yemen.
One good way they can express
their dissatisfaction Is to join the
Russian bloc when the vote on
Greece comes up. There are two
Latin American republics which are
said to be ready to cast their ballots
on the Russian side. Thus Russia
will have is sure votes in the
Assembly.
Russia needs 20 votes, however, to
upset the plans Of the western ma
tions. BY getting three nonmember
satellites into the U. N, Russia could
have some hope of defeating our
proposals, particularly since some
European nations, such as the Scan
dinavian countries, may decide to
play safe by abstaining.
The Soviet delegates do not hesi-
tate to use intimidation. They are
warning the neutral" countries
that siding with the United States
might have the direst consequences.
The actions of the Russian repre-
sentatives are being supported by
timely attacks against these coun-
tries in Soviet newspapers and on
the Soviet radio. Ominous warn
lngs. are given against association
with "Fascist-capitalist" America
and her "stooees."

The mental workings of tourist

My guess is that the reason they
take all the pictures they do Is to be
able to show of all the places they
have been when they get home. It
brings tears to my eyes when I think
of all the relatives and friends who

Like Foreign Policy, Seen Bipartisan

They don't want to risk pushing

another problem which they subordi-

As Senator Taft pointed out al

that while he has the constitutional
prerogative of conducting foreign
policy, much Of that policy now In

The President is still resisting
opportunities to take his case to the
country. With the new chairman
Of the National Committee, Senator
McGrath, planning to 60 to Europe

study, little Democratic political
activity is in prospect.
Among the dissatisfied Democrats
are leaders in the great industrial
States, all vital to Democratic sue
cess, Of whom Mayor O'Dwyer OF
New York is an important example
Mayor ODwyer Is under constant
pressure to induce the President to
take stronger leadership in such
matters as Palestine and aid for the
de Gasperi government in Italy.
Mayor ODwyer has had little luck
in educating the man from Missouri
in what to him are the political
realities Of '48. 1t doesn't improve
his temper. He thinks he deserves
better for his efforts to rehabilitate
the New York City organization.

He is presenting himself as the &C

Republican half of our two-headed

therefore, would be to repudiate the
party's conduct Of its branch of the
government. 1t would be the same
as If the Democrats were to repu-
diate President Truman's manage
ment of the executive branch by
refusing to nominate him. That
seems to be the Taft idea.
Throw the Rascals OUT
Having the Democratic Nationa
Chairman right in the same rims

the idea. Which, 1t can be said, 1.

chairman and his party. There !.
nothing the Democratic leaders are
more desirous of achieving than ar
understanding on the part Of the
voters that the Republicans are ir

to put the blame for lot of things
including high prices, on the Re.
publicans. They want to grab fol

On labor and on taxes, outstand-
ing issues Of the first session OF the
Republican Congress, he Is vigor-
Gus, uncompromising defender of
the party's record. That was to be
expected and offered no real revel-
alton. The revelation came when
he followed his essay into foreign
affairs with his program for public
welfare legislation.
Last winter, spring and summer,
as Senator Taft and his helpers on
The Hill suppressed or turned aside
one effort after another to enact
welfare legislation, the charge was
made that he and his party were
saving all such matters for the 1948
campaign. The plan, 1t was alleged,
was to put themselves in position
to out.promise the Democrats, even
if they failed, in the short time
that would be allowed, to deliver on
their promises.
Billion Welfare Program.
So now Senator Taft produces, In
a speech at Gearhart, Oreg., what
is Immediately called q billion dollar
welfare program. At first glance it
appears to have been cribbed from
Roosevelt's Economic Bill of Rights
and some of Mr.. Truman's mes
sages to Congress. 1t deals with
health, education, relief, housing
and social security-even the ex-
tension of old-age insurance to farm
workers and domestic servants.
On examination the liberal forces
in Congress will reject much Of it
the charity approach to the health
problem, for example. But, on its
face, it does suggest that the Re-
publicans, having done their duty
by business, are now prepared to
do the same for the common people.
Senator Taft has written the plat
form. His party is in power, so far
as legislation is concerned. He heads
the party. Will it repudiate him
and the platform? The best way
to find out, perhaps, would be to
poll the party's managers on the
House side, starting with Speaker
Martin. 1t was Speaker Martin
who put his foot down so heavily
on Taft's housing bill in the last
session Of the 10th Congress that
Senator Taft didn't dare bring 1t
up in the first session Of 80th.
