The Republican., 1947-08-07

The basic reason for this is the
fact, perfectly clear to the more as
tute promoters of Mr.. Wallace, that
unless constantly nourished by fresh
publicity their garrulous little hero
is likely to shrivel right up and drop
Off the vine. One group Of his press
supporters now tells us that the Pea
Progressive Citizens Of America),
which is the left-wing element that
does not bar Communists, already is
making arrangements" to overcome
the state obstacles to placing Mr..
Wallace's name on the 1913 ballot.
Another group asserts that, under di-
rect orders from Moscow. the Com
munist organization in this country
is the real force behind his candi-
dacy. There is some plausibility in
this, but not much.
The Republican., 1947-08-07

However, despite the propaganda
proclamations, none Of this means
that either the Communists, the CIO
politicians or Mr. Wallace are COM
mitted to third-party movement,

Third artv Bluff

A great deal Of silly stuff is being
written these days about a third party
in 1913. Most of its centers about that
woolly minded, whirling dervish Of
politics, Mr.. Henry Wallace There
will be more of it before, during and
after the next speech-making tour
which he is now planning for early
fall.
The Republican., 1947-08-07

1t IS charged that Mr.. Wallace's
first tour was ardently furthered by
the easily recognized Communistic
ClO leaders in every city he visited.
These. it is claimed, supplied large
part Of his audience, considerable
part Of the cash and most of the
enthusiasm. Without their whole
hearted cooperation the tour would
have flopped. To what extent this is
true is matter of opinion, but GER
tainly the Communists everywhere
are solidly with Mr.. Wallace, anxious
to build him up. As he is the most
conspicuous assailant Of the Ameri-
can foreign policy and the ardent
champion of the Russian point of
view, it would be strange, indeed, if
this were not so.
The Republican., 1947-08-07

For thirteen years they have been
registering and voting Democratic.
They still arc-and they will be in
1913. The third-party talk is 4 bluff.
They do not want a third party for
obvious reasons. SO far as the Com
munists are concerned, one is that it
would altogether undo the work and
nullify the propaganda and training
since 1893. Another is that in u
country which, for a number Of eX-
cellent reasons. has grown steadily
more anti-Communistic in the last
two years, to sponsor and identify
themselves with a third party next
year would be to exhibit their numeri-
cal impotence This is thing they
go to great lengths to conceal. An
other reason is that for the Com
mun.sts to go third party with MIR.
Wallace would be to break away from
the CIO leaders who, now that Mr.
Truman has vetoed the Taft-Hartley
labor BILL certainly are not going to
follow Mr. Wallace solely on his
foreign policy views, with which they
have no sympathy.

Communists and their CIO friends
long ago reached the conclusion that
there was no nourishment whatever
for them in third party, and the
only way to promote their goal Of
economic chaos was to work within
one Of the two major parties. Early
in the New Deal they chose the Dem
ocratic party.

IT'S YOUR BUSINESS

rs Nighttime to apply some good old
fashioned american horse sense to the
problem Of government spending.
The Administration proposed that the
Federal government spend four times
