He indicated his position in q
speech Saturday night calling for
100 per cent support of the Mar
shall Plan and a new world" ap-
proach to our problems. To be
sure that all the implications did
not escape Washington, he also
dispatched an attention caller to
the Capital to explain the signifi-
canoe Of his maneuvers.
This emissary mentioned Sena-
tor Vandenberg and Gov. Warren
of California as possible benefi-
Charles of Gov. Dutf's plans. Pre-
sumably Harold Stassen may make
some effort to be included as he
fits the general category which ap-
pear desirable to Gov. Duff. Also,
there was noticeable absence of
gloom in the vicinity of Senator
Martin over news that Gov. Duff in
tended to step forward early in the
convention. They are old and
close friends.
Gov. Duff's restiveness has long
been apparent. He bluntly volun-
teered at the Governors Confer
ence at Salt Lake City last summer
that Gov. Dewey was not his dish.
The Taft camp welcomed his stand
as a contribution toward a dead

farmers 60 to the polls in the COM
ing free-for-all primary IN April
Then, as if in self-defense, he fol-
lows with a speech raising the ques-
ton of what is liberal. That's an
uncomfortable, one of those things
lit is dificult to grasp with any
certainty. OF course, the Senator
was ready with his own definition
and it was as good a definition as
anv even though he had formulated
it to fit his own political philosophy
and his own performance.
Short ON Instinct.
Long on intellect and short on
instinct, the Senator proceeded on
his way probably convinced that he
had disposed of any notion that he
is not a liberal. But the farmers
of Nebraska want all the price pro-
lection they can get and are not
likely to consider very liberal the
man who would withhold it. BY
liberal they mean generous - to
others and themselves, most par
ticularly themselves. Farmers are
like other people.
The next day in Denver the Sem
ator, unwittingly perhaps, again
caused the public to consider his
liberality - which the public, TN
fortunately confused with liberal
ism. The news was received from
Washington that the Senate For
eign Relations Committee had voted
unanimously, both Republican ma
jority and Democratic minority, to
recommend $500, 100000 for the
first year of the European Recovery

On the Other Hand
Taft Should Stop Posing as Liberal;
His Best Chance Is as Conservative

Program. "Too much," said Mr..
Taft, without the slightest hesita-
ton. In his mind there was no
question of liberalism involved, but
the effect was to cause the average
person to say, the Senator isn't
liberal-he's stingy.
Actually, at times, his intellectual
processes cause him to take the
course of a true liberal, by usual
definition. When President Tru-
man, upset by an apparent crisis
in transportation, stampeded the
House into voting him authority
to conscript the railroad workers, it
was Senator Taft who called a halt.
And it is Senator Taft who Is now
seeking to make sure that ill-con-
ceived labor legislation does not in
terfere with the freedom of the labor
press. On the other hand, to be
sure, it was Mr.. Taft who wrote the
labor legislation.
Opposes Insurance Plan.
Again, he is offering the strong
est opposition to universal mill
tary training and the arguments
he offers are those of a liberal.
But he opposes national insur-
and plan that would assure ade-
uuate medical care for all who need
it. He calls this socialism and Of
fers instead a species of Federal
aid that would be pure charity, an
affront to the dignity of all re-
ceiving it. Yet, without doubt,
he considers 1t the liberal thing
to do.
So it goes with Mr.. Taft. The
only point being made, or at
tempted, here is that ne has again
demonstrated his genius for max
ing trouble for himself. 1t Is as If
Henry Wallace had set out to prove
that he is a conservative. Mr.. Wal
lace could list all he has done for
conservation, his efforts to conserve
the soil and the life, health and
prosperity of the people on the soil,
but, the way we use the language,
we wouldn't consider him a con-
servative and we'd cease to con-
slider him sincere. ~<'
Mr.. Taft had better drop this
talk about liberalism. 1t may
cause people not only to remem-
ber his occasional illiberalism, but
to doubt his sincerity. His chance
for nomination and elections de-
pends on the people thinking they
want a conservative this year and
he is the most conservative candi-
date to be had.

But it's an ill black eye that blows

because that black eye enabled me
to make two fairly successful
speeches. one before the Detroit

I got one for q sportswriter friend

lock and has been working hard tt
snaffle some commitments among
the delegates.
Taft hopes of positive aid have
now been put on ice by Gov. Duff's
praise of Secretary Marshall as a
greatly informed and non-political
American" whose counsel should be
followed. Senator Taft has made II
plain that he intends to take con-
siderable liberties with Secretary
Marshall's counsel.
For whatever consolation 1t Is, he
knows that Gov. Dewey is still in
the Duff "doghouse" and has been
so informed.
Locally, great attention was paid
to the contrast between Gov. Duff
on the Marshall Plan and Senator
Martins recent attacks on it. A
fight within the Pennsylvania dele
cation would of course materially
lessen its effectiveness as political
weapon for anybody. Senator Mar
tin, however, has issued a soothing
bulletin from his Capitol office as
suring the world that all is well
between him and the Governor.
The question therefore seems to
be whether Gov. Duff can deliver.
Most politicos familiar with Penn
sylvania think he can certainly
come close to it. They expect that
the delegation will vote for favor
lite son Martin on the first few bal
lots but that Gov. Duff will then
take the initiative in swinging 1t
to winner.
The State organization would
doubtless welcome a decisive role at
long last. Due to a combination OF
lethargy and bad judgment, Penn
sylvania has not Influenced the Sc
lection of a Republican candidate
since 1928. In 1910 they were eau
cusing while the convention was
nominating Wendell Willkie-a
farce about which they are still
sensitive.
Gov. Duff apparently shares a
rather common belief that the
Dewey-Taft deadlock is real and
that he can make a king from his
own school of thought as result OF

a pitifully small force at his dis
posal. He has reported oficially
that in Northern Korea there are
at least 100000 well-trained Ko-
reans commanded by Russian off,
GERS.
Jap Serial Numbers On Arms.
These Russian puppet troops, like
the Chinese Communists, receive
ample war material from the Rus
slams. The Japanese war plants
which have been transferred to
Siberia are working around the clock
to produce the necessary equipment.
In order to stay within the law"
and answer to their own advantage
any charges that new war material
is being manufactured for the use
of the puppet armies, the Russians
are using the japanese dies and
serial numbers on rifles, machine
guns, artillery and tanks. Whenever
any of these weapons are captured
and Moscow is queried about the
origin of the equipment, the answer
can be given that they are old
japanese war material which some
how had fallen into the hands OF
the freedom-loving Chinese and
Koreans.
Gen. Hodge has reported that the
force in Northern Korea Is so large
that it can overwhelm the small
American occupation army at any
time. Under the circumstances much
thought is being given to early
evacuation of our troops from that
death trap.
u. S. Fails to Aid Chinese.
While it is admittedly impossible
to increase Gen. Hodges forces, and
discretion therefore may prove the
better part of valor, continuous
complaints are received from Gen.
MacArthur's headquarters in Tokyo
on the failure of the United States
to provide the hard-pressed Chinese
In Manchuria with the necessary
ammunition to bring the battle OF
Manchuria to q successful finish.
In Mukden there are tive good
American trained Chinese divisions
which have shown their mettle by
resisting the attacks of q superior
Communist army. But, according
to reports from Nanking, they are
In desperate need of ammunition for
the American weapons which were
given them when they were fighting
the Japanese in Burma.
BY some mysterious circumstance
no ammunition supplies worth men
tioning are being sent from the
United States. This reluctance of
Washington to help the hard-press-
ed Chinese near the Korean border
is said to have increased Russian
determination to make a clean sweep
of Korea and to join both zones
into separate state under Moscow's
control,

was simply using me as buffer un-
til he himself got in, and that he
was not maintaining good faith with
me. 1 am sure, however, that he
meant what he said to me. Not
desiring the post, I was In better
position to judge than otherwise.
He unquestionably desired my
nomination as late as the spring OF
1910, to Judge from statements he
made to me and others up to that
time.
United States Position Grave.
Then on July 3, 1910, I had an
other conversation with him. BY
now, France had signed the armi-
stice with Germany, Britain was
making frantic preparations against
invasion, Mussolini had plunged
into the war, Japan was preparing
to move, and our own position was
grave. This conversation made such
an impression on me that, when !
returned to the State Department,
I wrote out some notes In long
hand.
The President had invited me
to luncheon. We were alone. Dur
ing most of the eating stage, ]
brought up and disposed OF several
department matters. Finally the
President suddenly said, well, now
let's talk some politics. You know,
there are many people saying to me
You can't afford to let us down. ,"
The President, In saying this, used
a sort of impatient, incredulous
tone.
7 remarked that it was probably
an avalanche of people.
The President said he had been
reading Washington's letter to Mad
ison in which washington COM
planned about criticism against his
running for q second term. Mr..
Roosevelt said he had In mind to
address a letter to some one like
Senator George Norris and end by
saying that he desired to 60 back
to Hyde Park. Thereupon, he said,
the convention would nominate me.
He asked me what I thought Of such
= letter.
I promptly replied, "Of course,
such q letter would not delay your
nomination by q split second"
a.. Deprecated Idea Of Running.
The President thereupon began te
speculate on how he himself might
win under certain circumstances
He spoke slightly haltingly and dis.
connectedly. His tone was that o1
deprecating the idea Of running. He
said he thought he could win in No
vember, unless the war should stop
In the latter event Wendell Willkie
the Republican nominee, might de-
feat him, but he would not care ex-
cept for the country's sake. I made
no comment.
He then started to get onto my
strong and weak qualities as q can
didate for President. He was ex-
tremely guarded compared to his
former conversations with me, when
he had forthrightly said he con-
sidered me his successor.
I interrupted him to say that, in
any event, was not to be consid-
cred. My interruption was inspired
both because Of the two reasons I
have mentioned for not wishing to
run, and also because at the moment
was clearly of the opinion that he
himself had made up his mind to
become a candidate. I emphasized
my state of health, and said:
