1t seems exceedingly unlikely that
this rum-beating, anti-Truman drive
will alter the conviction of General
Eisenhower that presidential nomi-
nation is something he distinctly does
not specially from a party not
his own and engineered by individuals
whom he does not highly esteem.
Clearly, the sort of draft" now sug-
gested is one in which he would have
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1948-04-08

This is so transparency false that
one wonders at the effrontery of
those who charge it. Actually, the
only two things alleged by these
screeching anti-Trumanites which can
be even measurably sustained are %
that he has failed to keep in his Ad-
ministration certain notorious New
Dealers, notably Mr.. James M. Lam
dis; (2) that he reversed himself on
the Palestine issue. So far as the
first is concerned, it is true Mr.. Tru-
man made no effort to retain num-
Der of these elf7advertised states
men, but in most cases there were
adequate reasons for not doing so. In
the case of Mr. Lands, it was a kind
ness to him that Mr.. Truman took
the rap" without publicly proclaiming
them. AS to the second, Mr.. Truman's
original advocacy of Palestine parti-
ton was politically inspired by de-
sire to hold the big New York Jewish
vote upon which the machine poll
ticians count so heavily. That was
not an admirable action. But later,
when he realized his mistake and was
convinced by the State Department
and the Secretary of Defense that the
national security was imperiled, he
reversed himself. And that was an
admirable action nonpolitical and
courageous.

are unsound economically, demagogic
politically and doubtful constitutional
ly. None the less, they are Roosevelt
policies and as such were enthusi-
astically advocated by the very New
Deal politicians, columnists and COM

ing that he has abandoned the Roose-

Whatever Mr.. Truman's deficien-
cies, it seems plain he is getting very
shabby treatment from a group with
a very poor case against him. Par
ticularly mean is the yapping Of the
Roosevelt brothers, Franklin, Jr., and
Elliott. The first, trading on his faith
er's name, is ambitious to become
governor of New York. He always
plays close to the machine bosses
locally and the CLIO bosses national
ly. The other is an unsavory specimen
whose money-raising activities, pro
NOTED by his father, have done more
to besmirch the latter's reputation
than any other single thing. AS for
Mrs. Roosevelt, when she left for
England she was neutral"

to connive. Few believe that after his
unequivocal statement he could be in
duced to do anything remotely SAVIOR
ing of qualification. 1t is incredible
that he would permit himself to be
used by persons whose motives are
completely transparent and so wholly
selfish. In brief, it is unlikely General
Eisenhower can be played for a sap.
OF course, it is possible Mr.. Tru-
man may be frightened by the kind of
publicity the people behind this
"drive" are able to command But
those who know him best do not think
so. One reason is that he is not the
sort of man to be scared out of a fight
just because the odds are against him.
Another is that certainly he will lose
more self-respect and go down in his
tory as a more shoddy character if
he quits under this kind of fire than
if he stands up and takes his licking
no matter how bad it may be. Hoover,
Landon and William H. Taft all
gained in public esteem through de-
feat
Still another reason is that there
may be a change of political scenery
before next November. In 1916 Mr..
Truman's prestige was so low that
demand was made that he resign.
In six months he was running ahead
in the popularity polls. This is not to
say Mr.. Truman can duplicate that
performance. Things look worse for
him now than they did then. But it is
possible. In any event, under existing
circumstances, his stupidity in allow
ing this gang to ditch him would be
exactly equal to the stupidity of the
Democratic party in doing the ditch
ing. Their fortunes are inseparably
linked. In tearing down Mr.. Truman
all these snorting liberals" can do is
to make bad situation worse.

1t is an ironcal fact that outside
of the South, where there is special
reason, the current clamor within the
Democratic party against Mr.. Tru-
man comes not from the elements
that logically might be expected to
oppose his nomination but from those
which by every rule Of reason should
support him.
Certainly, he deeply distressed con-
sentative and anti-New Deal Demo-
Gratis when he vetoed the Taft Hart
ley bill; when he came out strongly
for the so-called civil rights" in
Guiding that Fair Employment Prac-
tees Act which has so enraged the
South; when he delivered his Estate
of the Union" message in which he
went far to the left on social and
spending legislation; when he failed
to give encouragement to the effort
to reduce the size and cost of the
Federal bureaucracy.
However, it is difficult to see in any
of this-or in anything else Mr.. Tru-
man has done-an excuse for the
vicious and vociferous attempt to
murder him now being made by the
worshipful followers of the late Mr..
Roosevelt. On the contrary, the course
Mr.. Truman has followed should have
especially cndeared him to these. For,
without exception, every policy he has
is a Roosevelt policy. Not one is origi-
nal with him. Undoubtedly, most of
them, such as the civil-rights propos-
ais and his support of the CIO bosses,

GOLD RUSH TOWN
SHOCKED PASTOR

ARBURN, Calf The gold rush
that began hundred years ago
made many people rich, but it didn't
make everybody happy.
1t saddened the Rev DR.. Joseph
A. Benton, Congregational pastor
from Sacramento who wrote the
following account in 1852 of a gold
rush town in Shirttail Caynon near
here.
1T was evening . lights were
dancing thickly about . men were
passing to and fro in all directions.
AS we went along the narrow street,
the principal gambling saloon threw
glare of light upon it, and the
drinking shops were all wide open.
Here was one of the stateliest
buildings the place could boast. Two
rooms !. the front one was loung-
ing or sitting room, with car in it,
and the back one was a dancing
room. There were scores of men
here, as lockers on, or jewellers in
dissipation.
I'm the rear apartment were mi
ners and others, with unkempt hair,
long boards, stamping through the
dances with perfect wildness and
abandon, amid clouds of dust and
with such companions as vulgar,
smoking splitting, painted, swearing
females.
Between the sets, all adjourned to
the bar, steaming and sweating and
dusty to refresh themselves with
horrsd liquors. In the sitting room
was the postmaster and deputy
sheriff, playing cards with their
favorite courtezans. On the piazza
was the principal doctor. with SEN
orita on his lap. The law partner of
the Justice of the peace was gallant
ing another Spanish woman about
the streets.
For two years and more they had
been there, and every dollar obtained
was spent in such places Most of
them were of good families. Some
had been well educated.
I'VE turned away for the scene,
filled with sadness. 1t appeared to
US like a cave of witches and
hays in an orgy
DR.. Benton did not name the
town, but indicated clearly where
it WIS. If he were alive now he
would be interested to know that
there is 10 trace of it.
It left no name, nor any ruins.

{ WAsHINGTON-Meat experts say
Americas meat situation still must
get worse before it gets better.
They say the explanation is sim
pie.
IN the past year we have eaten
up Or cattle and calves at a record
rate" says Bergman R. Hurt Of
the Bureau of Agricultural Econo-
mics Of the u S. Department Of
Agriculture
Heavy slaughter speeded the de-
cline in the number of cattle on
farms. The decline has been under
way since 1914
! This means SO many breeding an
imals have been slaughtered that
beet herds can't be increased quick
ly. Ard this in turn means less meat.
The experts say that if the down
ward trend in cattle numbers was
stopped this year the slaughter
would have to be limited to 10000, 600
animals. This would cut the beef
supply by one-sxth compared VITA
1o47
Pork supplies might Re Boosted to
make up for the short supply of
beef. But the price of corn was so
high last fall that many farmers
found it more profitable, or more
desirable, to sell off their logs in
stead Of raising pigs and fattening
them with corn Thus the 1913
spring pig crop was a small enc.

low their usual course it may ZEE

upturn in the beef supply.
II the corn crop is a bumper ore.
the pig crop could be increased next
year and thus there would be more
pork by 1850. but the number OF
stock sheep on farms is the lowest in
30 years, SO the prospect for more
lamb and mutton isn't bright.
The BAE now estimates there VIM
be about 10 per cent less meat this
year Than In 1947. This is a redue-
tion Of about 2,oOO00O,o0O pounds of
beef pork and mutton.
In 1947 about 155 pounds ere
available for each person. This year
it is estimated the supply will range
between f43 and i45 pounds

DONJAC OFF WAYS
AT NORTHERN com.

The Donjac has recently come off
the Northern Commercial ways af-
ter extensive repairs and modifica-
tions designed to have it comply
with Coast Guard regulations re-
garding the carrying of paid freight
and passengers. Jack Burford, own
er Of the vessel, said he received the
required passenger transport certif-
icate several days ago when Comdr
Howell of the Coast Guard was in
Juneau.
A new Packard engine was in
stalled in the vessel while under
going repairs. She is also equipped
with two-way radio.
The Donjac, taking party of 10
arranged by Dr. Fisher OF the Vet
Grams Administration, went to Taku
Glacier and Annex Greek last Sun
day. Burford said mountain goats
were seen and the waters were
fairly heavy with sea lions.

lows. This has been the marketing
pattern for years.
A prewar low point was reached
in 1888 when the number of cattle
and calves totaled 65.2OO,O00 A peak
was reached in l945. There were
then 856O0,000 cattle and calves on
U. s. farms, an all time high.
During 1945 and 1916 the slaughter
was SO heavy that cattle numbers
declined By the end of 1916 they
were down to 100000 head. Now
they number 70,5OO,OOO, lowest since
1912
If the cycle follows its usual
course it will reach a low about 1885,
81 and then start upward. But the
teef supply won't climb back up to
5cday's level until around 1854 #
the cycle behaves in the normal
way.
Demand for meat is above normal.
More people are eating more meat.
Another factor complicating the
average mans outlook for more
meat is this: U. S. population is
On the increase.
This means livestock production
in future years will have to be sub
stantially above the prewar level
to provide as much meat for each
person. The U. s. now has about
1900, 600 more persons than at the
start of the war.
