Harold L. seltsyled curmudgeon" who bears
grudges his spleen the objects his with
that makes like bit envous has written sharp
analysis of the Truman veto of the Taft Hartley bill
Mr. Ickes who has keen and penetrating insight into
matters political satesound
able that the President wanted Congress to override his veto
doing could satisfy labor and at the time
have a club to hold its head.
Obviously learning, else he is receiving
sage political mind No he the babe
in the administrative woods If Ickes surmise is even close to
being All of which leads wonder what essential
differences there really between the two major parties at the
present time
We naturally expect the President the nation
leadership his political party. Hence 1t does bit
peculiar that Mr. Truman unable to convince sufficiently
senator's of his party that they should vote
sustain the veto in order to aid him in maintaining his
poiticsr prestige and the appearance of leadership
After ALL the President can't lead his party and the
overriding that he unable control the
southern persuasion how expect him to
lead the nation7
POLITICS
Mr. Ickes statement is true and the vote indicates that
every Democratic senator who voted to reject Mr. Tru
voted against their President and the leader of
their party
In the of such political shenanganS 1t any wonder
that increasingly larger number of workers and the public
general should in both major political parties another
of weededm and weededee the right and left wings
of the old bird of prey?
And yet what alternative there which would give the
plain people the kind of which they know they
and plenty both the domestic and International frons'
There considerable talk about third party with Wallace
leader At the time it is evident that Wallace will
large Communist backing which will frghten
and probably end by taking away sufficient votes
from the Democrats to elect another Republican Congress
and without doubt, Republican administration.
Perhaps this of the why the Republicans have
passed stringent the Taft-Harey bill Perhaps they
smart politicians too who recognize that the Democrats
because of their divided loyaltes
principles will lose if third party placed in the
field against both old parties.
NOT WALLACE
With all due respect to Henry Wallace appears that he
could not lead third party victory complexion
large of his support This then the question
who would lead third party?
That question which nobody seems to have an an
The only that is advanced third party
brunted Henry Wallace
that Wallace will he head the third party And who
believes that Wallace could win?
OF what value will a third party movement be, in
tempting power il defeats the Democratic party
best just slightly less eaconary than Republican?
Perhaps third party will be formed and make play
the labor the belief that the with both
parties unless there is revision think
ing in the next few months the party
gnomnouS defeat and succeed in turning country
the tender mercies of the Republicans,
the majority of labor has not even
who work for their vngs will again go polls and
their ballots the their grandathers
did They find it's hard habit to break
Lest anyone become confused this department favors
labor party how ii brought
the leadership Wallace aided by the Comme or how
be accomplished fact until labor has united stronger
bonds than exist.
