Wallace Charges Truman Doctrine VIII
Bring About A Divided World

New York, April 30.-Henry A. Wal
lace charged tonight that U. S. foreign
policy as embodied in the Truman doc
trine was leading to a divided world.
He said this division could be averted
only by American and European coop
GRAFTON in strong United Nations.
The former vice president and sec
rotary of commerce, in report on his
trip to western Europe, said the people
of Britain, France, Denmark Norway
and Sweden want to be friends with
both Russia and the United States.
"But they find no basis for coop
Grafton with an America that fights
social progress and uses its econom-
ic power to divide the world"
He said European countries want
machinery and materials to
rebuild and modernize industry and
agriculture but they are offered tanks
and guns instead

parts is a world threatened by war,
he said. mo people can benefit from
a world divided in this way. I blame
Russia, Britain, America and all ma
lions for this division. But America
today is helping to force this division
instead of working for peace"
Wallace said that, rather than
arousing Europe against America, as
he had been accused, he had been
searching for "the one basis upon
which a progressive Europe can CO.
operate with America"
"That basis I found in Europe-it is
a strong United Nations he said.
"Only through the United Nations will
Europe be identified with America
There is in Europe a deep belief that
if we work together through the
United Nations, then peace can be
not for one generation but
for all generations. "-GREAT FALLS

COP CONGRESSMAN SAYS HARTLEY PROPOSAL
WILL Lead TO INDUSTRIAL SERFDOM

The house Of Representatives has
passed by vote of 308 to 107 an
omnibus labor bill, which should not,
and more than likely will not, become
law in its present form.
The bill is huge conglomeration of
proposals, aimed at practically every
fault, that has been found with or
ganized labor Some of its provisions
are sound. Others are of most ques-
tiOnable wisdom. Still others, in my
opinion, would be almost certain to
create resentment and strife that this
country is in no condition to afford
We do not believe they (the Amer
lean people, want law to go as far

that many of the representative who

against it, would have supported
something less drastic But the house
permitted no choice 1t was

Murray and Ecton Not
In Accord On Labor
Legislation

Risking presidential veto the Re-
publican-Southern Democrat coalition
in the senate Wednesday voted down
efforts of COP Senators Morse and
LANCER and 33 Democrats to split the
Taft-Ball labor straitjacket bill into
four separate measures. The vote was
1886.
Indications are the "all or nothing
measure will have an easy time of it
in the house which last week passed
the NAM-sponsored Hartley bill. How
ever, Democrats close to the admins
tration feel certain President Truman
will veto the T-B proposal.
Montana senators also split on this
one with Ecton voting the wishes of
Messrs Taft and Ball, and Murray vot-
ing for splitting the bill and a more
sane, studied approach to ALDERMAN

vesting employers with the power to
destroy unions. "The need is for rea-

production-for all the things that will
give us a prosperous and happy land
and give hope and encouragement to

things will be realized if employers
will deal fairly and squarely with their
employees and if they will engage
in sincere collective bargaining.
Mr.. Meany gave congress and the
owners of the nations public utilities
food for thought when he said: "The
bills now before congress deal at great
length with disputes which are held
to affect services essential to the pub
lie health, safety and interest. What
is meant it must be presumed, are

ALL Declares War On Slave Labor Bills

Washington-The American Fedora
ton of Labor served blunt warning on
congress last Thursday that the wage
earners of the nation will never bow"
to any legislation that violates the pro-
hibition on forced labor spelled out in
the 18th amendment to the Constitu-
ton.
In a coast to coast radio address by
Secy-Treas. George Meany, members
of congress were told that they have
the responsibility of making the deci-
sion whether to give the nation indus
trial peace or war; The latter will be
the result, they were warned, if they
disregard sane counsels and jam thru
repressive labor legislation.
1--WE of labor know how to fight"
Meany emphasized. 1--WE fought and
defeated the enemies of labor in the
past when we were weak. If compel
led, we will fight once more"

Oil is "a powerful circumstance in
the policy of our government and we

clared. "As long as great powers play
power politics, oil will be one of the
prizes. U. S. oil companies, includ-

cessions to about 1870 of this Middle
