And, everyone will be glad to know that
the railroads have finally Learned how" At
long last the Train of Tomorrow indicates
that the railroads are stepping-out.
THERE'S A GOOD DEAL of gossip in
Washington these days about third-party.
There are probabilities in the next Presiden-
tial election. The pressure that is being put
on President Truman to force him out and
fight for the labor bosses may produce results
but it is not going to have any effect, either
for or against new political party.
Former Vice President Henry Wallace is
not regarded as dangerous factor by Demo-
crat or Republican leaders. He has no pro-
gram He has made no ISSUE He has aroused
curiosity as to why he went transforming
around the World. While he has been oppos-
ing the Administrations foreign policy, he
hasn't strengthened the Republican cause
and it is very doubtful whether he has weak
ened the Democrat party. The charge made
against him is that he is trying to hasten a
business depression to boost his own candi-
dacy for the Presidency in 1852.
One of the Washington newspapers COM
pares his efforts to that of Theodore Roose-
velt when he created the Bull Moose Party.

ring up more sentiment throughout the coun-
try than he is with Democrat and Republican
leaders he is getting nowhere fast In short,
Henry Wallace seems to be a lone child, lost
in the wilderness.

Then if Congress was right and truly rep
resented the people why was the report on
the action in both branches of Congress chal-
lenged by the Democrats who laid all the
pressure at their command upon the Presi-
dent of the United States, demanding veto!
The National Government is big business
But there is not big business in the country
managed by private citizens that would buck
that way against the head of their big corpo-
ration.
In short, what this country needs most is
more craftsmanship and less political man.

true - that America is infiltrated with Com

Of course we wouldn't give the matter 81
