And Now the Democrats

The Democratic hosts are assembling in
Philadelphia to nominate as their candl-
date for President man who cannot win,
according to most of the high political
priests of the party.
A few stop-Truman rumblings continue
to be heard, but they will not amount to
much. For the only hope, and it has al
ways been feeble hope, of the anti-Tru-
NANTES died when General Eisenhower
took himself out of the picture in language
which could not be misunderstood or mis-
represented even by such diehards as
Floridas Senator Pepper. Leon Henderson
and his Americans for Democratic Action
are roaming the hotel lobbies and fore
casting that all hope for liberalism will be
lost unless Associate Justice Douglas of
the Supreme Court Is handed the nomlra-
ton Justice Douglas judging from some OF
the poses he has struck and the statement
he has issued from his vacation retreat, is
not unwilling But this boom, too will get
nowhere, for the stage obviously is set for
the nomination of President Truman on
the first ballot.
It is after that that the real Democratic
headache will begin. For the party then
will be faced with the unenviable task OF
trying to elect its candidate with little
money, without any organization worthy
of the name and in the face of the pub
licly proclaimed belief of most of the
bosses of the Democratic city machines
that Mr. Truman cannot defeat the Re
publican ticket.
Perhaps Mr.. Truman could not have
won in any event, although it would be
strange experience to witness the defeat
in period of prosperity of an incumbent
President who has done, on the whole,
good job, and at times an outstanding
job But whatever chance the President
might otherwise have had, it is undeni-
ably true that his prospects have suffered
grievously as a result of the beating he
has taken from the Wrecking crew within
the Democratic Party.
They have put on truly astonishing
spectacle, which, If it proves anything,
demonstrates the unfitness of this group
to hold any positions of responsibility or
power Both the professionals and the
amateurs among them have acted like
juveniles, and panicky juveniles at that.
If their forecasts are correct, If the Demo-
Gratis cannot win this year with President
Truman. there will be some comfort IN the
knowledge that these men who have done
most to ruin their party's chances will at
least no longer be in a position to mis-
handle the affairs of this country.

A Preacher Looks at War

DR.. Daniel A. Pollng, nOted cnufcIlllldA
and editor of the Christian Herald, is
right The three hundred Protestant
ministers who recently urged the youth
of America to defy the draft law have
rendered their faith tragic dlsServlce.
Their ill-advised and dangerous doctrine
deserves to be repudiated by every church
member and every citizen.
There is not the slightest doubt that
the overwhelming majority of Protestant
clergymen, as well as members OF their
CONGREGATIONS, concur with DR.. Polling that
the offending statement by the dissident
group of ministers constitutes "a breach
against law and order, democracy and
freedom" that, If needed, could lead to
anarchy. He stressed that the group does
not represent Observation-Disclosures it
"misrepresents" it. The group, acting as
individuals and without organizational
sponsorship, issued public letter which,
in part, urged Christian youth to "break
with war by refusing to register or serve
under conscription and, in the case OF
those already in the armed forces, by
withdrawing. The letter was released by
the Rev Allan Knight Chalmers, professor
at the Boston University School OF Theol-
ogy, and the Rev. A.. j. Music, national
secretary of the Fellowship of Reconcilia-
ton.
DR.. Polling speaks as one who Is rec
ognized leader of his faith and who hates
war as intensely as any one. He was gassed
in World War I and he lost his son,
Chaplain Clark v. Polling, in World War
II. His attitude is expressed in book,
"A Preacher Looks at War;" in which he
wrote: Let the church have no blessing
for war, but shame upon us as churchmen
If we have no blessing for our sons and
no blessing for our governments, who in
the presence of war defend with their very
lives our holy things
Although not an advocate of peacetime
conscription, DR.. Polling, as member OF
the Presidents Civilian Advisory Com
mission on Universal Military Training,
approved the preparedness training pro-
gram proposed by the commission for
Americas young men. Congress rejected
UNIT but enacted a modified draft law
DR.. Polling believes the failure to adopt the
UNIT program was mistake and he de-
plores the failure of Congress to provide
certain moral safeguards" for drafted
men. But, as good citizen, he believes
implicitly in obedience to law and in
supporting the efforts of his Government
to defend itself.
If the contrary attitude favored by Pro-
fessor Chalmers and his group were to
prevail, America would be totally unpre-
pared for another attack. Such IMPROVE
dence in an atomic era would be horrible
to contemplate, too disastrous to risk. 1t
is fortunate for this country that the
irresponsible advice of such groups as that
led by Professor Chalmers carries so little
weight-and that most preachers look at
war as DR.. Polling looks at it-as an evil
which cannot be destroyed by turning our
hacks on it,
Evening star., 1948-07-11

period Immediately ahead. The reason for
this, as he sees 1t, Is that the spots bonn
bard the earth with an exceptional amount
of ultraviolet rays, and the rays in turn
affect every living thing, including the
glands that control our emotions. Hence,
we should not be surprised If we and our
friends display an uncharacteristic ten
dency to be disagreeable and short-tem-
pered between now and the time the sun
calms down again.
DR.. Marshall's theory Is not an unrea-
sonable one, Ecclesiastes Notwithstanding.
1t seems fact, anyhow, that the sun spots,
when they start kicking up, do have some
effect on both earth and earthlings. Black
outs in radio and telegraph communica-
tions, for example, have been traced to
them, and they are strongly suspected OF
having had something to do with this
years abundant rainfall and greater
growth of tree foliage and other vegeta-
tion. In the circumstances, who can say
with any certainty that they do not play
hob with our glands and make us sharp
tongued and surly?
Actually, there are some mystical Cas-
sandras who have the gloomiest kind of
ideas on this subject, attaching much sig
nificance to the fact that the last time the
spots were in their maximum stage-in
1937-Hitler started marching. They were
pretty active. too, back in 1929 when the
stock market crashed and the depression
began. But let us be cheerful. What with
Russia and the presidential campaign to
brood over, we ought not to burden our
selves with dark thoughts about what the
sun may be doing to us. Enough is enough
when 1t comes to worry.

Results Of the x-Roy Survey

The cty-wide X-ray survey has re-
yealed more than suspected symptoms OF
tuberculosis among some six thouSano
Washingtonians, 1t has laid bare the
shocking inadequacies of the city's facilities
for ministering to the ills OF these un-
fortunate persons
There was waiting list for those seek
ing disqualification even before the mass
X-ray project was undertaken. Now the llSt
has been heightened alarmingly. Ninety
of the more advanced TB cases uncovered
in the survey must wait indefinitely Tor
chance to obtain admission to hospital
Each day that they are deprived OF tnls
treatment but aggravates the disease ana
dims their hopes of winning their hght
for health.
Manv others on the list Of suspected
sufferers can be cared for satisfactorily IN
their homes by private physicians. But
the Health Department is short OF nurses
needed to make periodic checks on tnese
nonhospitalized patients. Medical author-
tiles say that regular visits should be mace
by public nurses to the homes OF tuber-
eulosis victims for at least two years for
tHPlT OWN plOGSCGloAA eNAAN Az e-N~
of the community.
Health Officer Rutland has estimated
that the District should have nearly fifteen
hundred beds available for TB patients.
The actual number at Gallinger Hospital,
the Glenn Dale Sanitorium and the Upshur
Street Hospital is less than twelve hundred.
More than a hundred of these beds have
been empty because of lack OF hospital
personnel to care for them.
Further analysis of the results OF the
survey and further study of the suspected
cases will be necessary before complete
and definite picture of the situation is
obtained. Once the problem is known In
all its stark aspects, the basis will have
been laid for tackling the next task-that
of finding ways and means OF expanding
hospital facilities and providing sufficient
nurses for home inspection. The mass
x-ray survey will have been Of little value
If 1t produces only statistics. 1t will have
rendered an outstanding service If. how
ever, 1t results in new and more effective
war on the dread disease in Washington,
with new and more adequate weapons.

A Kew Soviet Weakness

In their demonstrations at Prague the
other day, members of the Sokol Congress
the world famous Czech athletic organ
izaton with pro-freedom traditions-gave
concrete expression to one of the basic
weaknesses of the Soviet Empire. The
weakness is simply this: That the empire,
held together chiefly by the terrors OF
Communist totalitarianism, has no real
popular support.
Last February, when Klement GottWald
and his co-conspirators subverted Czecho-
slovakia with the help Of Moscow, they
lost no time in purging the Sokol leader
ship of "reactionaries." But the mass OF
the membership could not be purged With
out destroying the organization itself, nor
could it's spirit be broken. That spirit
as displayed in the Prague demonstrations
is still in tune with individual liberty and
Czech independence That is why the
marchers waved little American flags,
called for return of the genuinely demo-
cratic MaSaryk-Benes republic, paid hom-
age to Woodrow Wilson, cheered Tito for
his defiance of the Cominform, and In
general made clear that they had little
love for Gottwald's tyranny and less for
Stains.
It is true enough that the Sokol senti-
nent Is not likely to cause the Czech
dictatorship to worry much. In ponce
state, with the masses unarmed and in
capable of rebelling effectively against
tanks and machine guns, the clique In
power can put down opposition with rela-
tive ease. But that does not detract from
e;n tEna -iyS,yN 1init n
Prague demonstrations. They have dram
atized a condition that is typical OF every
land trapped behind the Iron Curtain and
dominated by the Soviet Union. Not less
than the Czechs, all the other peoples in
that dark world if they could vote freely
and without fear, would vote overwhelm-
ingly to oust the Communist puppets who
now rule them. In other words, given the
opportunity, the vast majority of them
would elect to destroy Moscow's satel-
lite empire and thus become independent
again
In an immediate sense, this condition,
this lack of popular support, this more or
less inert but vast mass of opposition
may constitute no great threat either to
the puppet regimes or to their masters in
the kremlln. buI WIlat IL LIE 1iIo ieoei-
lion in Yugoslavia should develop into a
kind of contagion? What if the satellites
should gradually begin to fall out among
themselves? What if the Moscow dicta-
torship should one day find itself obliged
to cope not merely with internal strains
behind the Iron Curtain but also with an
external crisis threatening war?
The questions speak for themselves. In
such a situation, the sentiment of peoples
like the Czechs and the Poles, even though
tlnarmed could be the ruin Of the Soviet
Empire. No empire is on safe foundations

picture of a fanatical Norwegian preacher OBJ
sessed with one idea. That idea was to build q

Broken of from its place in the story, that
phrase, "a church big enough for God" burns
its way through all the unhappy divisions, the
futile minutiae of tweedledee and tweedledum
which have made temples dedicated to the

man. The damning heresy of totalitarian states
is that they allow no church which IS not
shrunk to the size of their own petty blue
prints With fanatical zeal they offer q social
order big enough for but one loyalty, and that
to the state. God is thus contracted to tribal
chief made in the image Of man. Truth be-
comes whatever the state department OF propa-
ganda says 1t Is. Right becomes what Is ordered
in the interest Of the state. or Of political
party or Of . ruling class That ultimately
means the dissolution OF human society and
the disintegration of the human soul.
Capitalism, too, can build churches too small
for God Any church in America If it is big
enough for God must declare by deed as we'll
as creed that material wealth is merely means
to an end; and that end is not the comfort
and aggrandizement of the few at whatever
cost to the many, but rather, an increasing
opportunity in an economy of plenty for all
men to make the most and best Of themselves
and to share in the beauty and Joy Of life. Any
church big enough for God must say without
equivocation that men, all men, are the sons
of God and not cogs in either communistic
or a capitalistic machine, and that individuals
have more value in His sight than anything
else in the world, including diamonds and
dividends.
That means that upon the doorpost Of the
true church Is proclaimed the emancipating
truth mirrored in -four lines indicating the
dimensions of church big enough for God:
I'VE study still, with deep research,
To build a universal church,
Lofty as the love Of God
And ample as the needs of man."
This very Sunday, from all parts of the
world, religious leaders are converging on
Amsterdam, Holland, for what may prove as
great q council of spiritual verities as the
ages have known. From all the main confess
sional traditions Of Christendom save one they
are coming to the Dutch city to give definite
form to the World Council Of Churches This
summer conference Of 1948 is the most i'm
portant single fact in this disturbed and ex-
plosive world. Over Amsterdam flames the
vision OF a church rising above national and
confessional limitations, above clericalism and
ofncialism, where at last In a new spiritual
unity may be laid the foundations of a world
church big enough for God.
