Grath are the chairmen. respective
ly, of the Republican and Demo-
cratic National Committees. The
1948 campaign is on. 1t is a cam
paign to determine which of the
political parties shall have the ter
rible responsibility of managing
American affairs and Americas part
In world affairs during this dis
couraging period in history. Nice to
see the campaign being launched on
such a high plane.
It really would be nice II we had
only to sit back and listen while the
party spokesmen settled our prob
lens with singing repartee. Maybe
it was like that in the good old days
the days when all our Christmases
were white and we could expect
Santa Claus to bring us good gov
ernment if we merely took the trou-
BILE to turn the rascals out"
Life Real, Earnest.
But that's not the way 1t Is now
Now life is real and life IS earnest.
That goes for political life especially
The people do not know the answers
to the problems with which they
are confronted at home and abroad,
but they are looking to the men In
public office to find the answers
They expect their public officials to
try, at least.
This may explain the basis OF the
report with which DR.. George H.
Gallup shocked the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers, meeting
in New York this week. Dr. Gallup
said his American Institute Of Pub
lie Opinion polls have revealed that
the Democrats have an advantage
at the moment in the presidential
race. . The 100000 independent
voters who hold the balance Of
power, he said, are disposed to be-
Ilieve that the Democratic Party Is
best able to handle domestic and
foreign affairs. He named high
prices as the No. l problem, in the
average voters mind, with Russia
second and labor troubles third.
The pollster was talking to "a
group of industrialists who were

the other. This struggle is regarded
as the start of the showdown be-
tween the two remaining great
powers-America and Russia.
Maurice Thorez. leader of the
French Communists, returned this
week from Moscow. After conferring
"a few hours with his colleagues in
Paris he went on a tour throughout
Northern and Eastern France, where
the back-to-work movement by
strikers is most pronounced.
He has already made a number
of infammatory speeches, all bearing
the marks of the propaganda which
the Russians are pouring out all
over the world: That Americas aim
is to enslave the peoples whose gov
ernments accept American help
under the Marshall plan.
Thorez told the workmen that
their misery. hunger and low pay
is all the work of the Paris govern
ment, which receives and blindly
obeys orders from Washington. He
said further that unless the admins
tration, which has "sold out" to the
United States, is overthrown and
replaced by a government which
truly represents the workers, farm
ers and small bourgeoisie, the French
people will become the slaves Of
American capitalism.
Similar Sneeches in italy.
Similar speeches are being made
in Italy by Palmiro Togliatti ane
his henchmen. They have rouseo
the masses In certain areas, such
as Southern Italy, to such a pitch
that the Italian military police hae
hard time preventing the destruc.

United States.

versive activities in the provocation
of strikes. To bolster the enforce
ment of these laws the French gov
ernment this week called to the
colors about $4,000 more men, thus
raising the armed forces Of the re-
public within the metropolitan area
to about 0,000 men.
This is a substantial force, cap
able of dealing with any kind OF
civil strife. But some American OBJ
servers in Paris report that this de-
termination of the Schuman gov
erment may be too late. Railway
strikes have paralyzed Frances
transportation and it is feared
either that the men called to the
colors may not be able to reach
their garrisons, or that the military
units may not be able to move into
the areas of France where the situ-
alton is considered very serious.
The Communists have concentrat-
ed their main activities In what is
known as the Communist belt OF
France-the central plateau which
includes such important centers as
Marseille, Toulouse, st. Etienne and
Grenoble.
"Soviets" Already Organized.
In some of the smaller cities in
this area "Soviets" already have
been. organized. These workers and
peasants committees have taken
over not only the police and judici-
ary but also control the press, which
is permitted to publish only bulle-
tins and news emanating from the
committees themselves.
There is little news since COM
munications have been interrupted
Whether these experimental 80
viets" will spread to other cities de-
pends on how quickly the govern
ment Is able to rush forces to put
down the Moscow directed efforts
to create chaos in the country.
This is no longer a dollar battle
No amount of assistance in the form
of food and living essentials car
have any effect. The French gov
ernment has accepted the Com
munist challenge and 1t Is nov
merely a question of who is strong.
est. Mere debates in Congress anc
kind words of encouragement are
of no avail today.
The second phase Of Russia's drive
toward the channel has already be-
gun and can be halted only BY
force. Whether the French govern
ment will be able to hold the fort
with the means it has at its dis
posal is question which none car
answer. But it is recognized In the
highest Washington quarters tina
the struggle is not easy and th'

On the Other Hand
It's Beginning to Appear That You
Can't Beat Something With Nothing

we'll aware Of the part their NAM
had played in the destruction OF
price controls. Many of them, no
doubt, sincerely believed the propa-
ganda they put out during the 1916
battle over controls. They believed
that with controls removed we would
have such production and such COM
petition that prices would quickly
become fair and reasonable. 1t
hasn't worked out that way and
the public wants something done
about it.
Administration Trying.
The Administration, belatedly, is
endeavoring to do something. The
Republican Congress Is ducking and
lodging, still hoping the NAM
theory will be justified and that it
won't be necessary to do anything
or, in any event, anything drastic.
It may be that the industrialists got
some comfort from Speaker Martin,
who told them. Congress Is deter
mined to do its part to solve the
problem OF high prices the Amerl-
can way"
That platitude, however, may not
be good enough for the people. The
same can be said Of the answer
given the Senate Banking Commit
tee this week by a spokesman for
the bankers when asked by Senator
Tobey what Congress should do
about the price situation. Moth
ing" said John H. Mccoy, president
of the City National Bank OF Co.
lumbus, Ohio. you have got to let
nature take its course"
Rightly or wrongly, the impression
grows that the Democratic admins
tration is trying to do something
and the Republican Congress is try
ing to avoid doing anything. 1t ap-
plies in the field of foreign affairs.
The Democrats have the advantage
there, since the initiative properly
belongs to the President. He has
produced the Marshall plan and
the Republicans have nothing bet
ter to offer.
One of the Oldest wisecracks in
politics is, You can't beat some
body with nobody" Perhaps 1t can
also be said that you can't beat
something with nothing.
