None could pin down the Truman

Agree Record Not Good.
The fact is that members of Con-
gress, whatever they say publicly
all agree that they have not made a
good record on which to go before
the country. Many are frankly
ashamed of it. Even defiant right
wingers are conscious that it Is fee

it will help fill their campaign chests
Roosevelt would murder us in the

publican said. "And I'm not sure
Mr.. Truman isn't doing too badly
But present sentiment favors cut
ting their losses, nominating their
candidates and hoping for the best.
Republicans say they can't improve
things without fresh battling which
might serve to emphasize their pres
ent record which is one of facing
back to rugged individualism and
isolationism. Their greatest weak
ness is that they have found time
for a labor bill, legislation pleasing
to private utilities but anti-TVA and
reclamation, the Bullwinkle railroad
rate raising bill which the President
has just vetoed, ETC., while public in
terest measures-housing, aid to edu-
cation, minimum wage, social Sc
curity, ti-inf1ation-have gone by
the board. They have got their ex-

rollcall is the pay-of.

On the Other Hand
President Improves Political Show
By Producing Villain

partly, perhaps, because Senator
Vandenberg seems to be no more
excited than he, the voter, Is.
That's how it Is now, in advance
Of the conventions. Come the sum-
mer campaign things may be differ
ent. An inkling Of excitement to
come has been given by President
Truman's one-man battle for renom-
ination. The President has furnish
ed what Is needed to make matters
interesting. He has produced viii
lain: Congress. Congress doesn't
make the ideal villain, to be sure,
being too big and clumsy and shape
less. But it is better than none and
the show has improved since the
President put on his boots and spurs
and chased Congress into the ring.
Some people have been disposed
to say this wasn't nice thing for
the President to do. Not dignified.
But it may be getting results. The
angry screams from Congressional
leaders reveal that they are sensi-
tive concerning the record being
made, even If they are unwilling to
stay on the job and improve the
record.
Truman May Succeed.
It may we'll be that the President,
If he sticks to his present line, will
change the whole character Of the
campaign. He may succeed in put
ting the Republicans on the defen-
sive. Whereas they have expected
to win easily because of Mr.. Tru-
mans weakness, they may spend the
summer trying to justify a Congress
in which they really take no pride.
Any doubt that the President has
hit them where it hurts is removed
py the behavior of Senator Taft,
party leader in Congress, whose own
personal legislative record Is better
than that of his nonco-operative fol-
lowers. He now talks of picking up
his playthings and going home, just
to snow the President.
If it should seem to the Philadel-
phia convention that the President
will succeed in making Congress the
issue, Senator Taft's chances will go
glimmering and Speaker Martins
will not rise above their present low
level. That would have its ironical
side, for they are the two men the
President is sure he can beat.

Palestine, has accomplished the
cease-fire purpose for which he was
sent there, and whether the four
week truce is followed by lasting
peace arrangement or not, he will
be credited with at least respite
in the fighting which was taking
almost as large toll OF lives as a
full-scale war.
What particular qualities he has
that other statesmen at Lake
Success lack-qualities which en-
able him to succeed where they
failed-is an interesting field for
speculation. First of all, OF course,
is his complete attitude of neutral
Il ity and the feeling Of confidence
which he engendered in both Jews
and Arabs.
Background Important.
Perhaps most important in his
background, although the least
likely to be noticed and appreciated,
is the fact that he comes from one
of the small nations whose function
in the world has been to foster
and perfect worldwide recognition
and acceptance of international law
and justice. The small nations rely
on law and justice as their only
support, for they cannot hope to
match forces with the great pow
ers of the world.
Mediation, when attempted by one
of the great powers, has not always
been too successful, for great

To Find Formula for Lasting Peace

power is presumed to have an In
Iterest-exactly because Of its power
and greatness-in the settlement OF
a dispute one way or the other. In
this respect the United States, being
one of the major bloc leaders In the
world. has by that very fact lost its
standing as mediator in many
situations.
The small nations make up the
great body of membership in the
United Nations, although the great
powers dominate the organization
Since the large nations are split
among themselves and the control
of q. N. activities comes either from
the American bloc, with its superior
voting power, or the Soviet bloc,
with its vetoes, the question now
comes up whether U. N. success in
its mission of keeping the peace
will not necessarily rest on such
things as mediation and concilia-
ton.
Not the First Instance.
The Palestine truce is not the first
instance where the U. N. has been
successful in that field. A United
Nations good Offices commission
some time back achieved cease
fire in the Indies, and neither the
Dutch nor the Indonesians have
resumed fighting, although their
dispute goes on, in and out OF the
U. N. Another U. N. good offices
commission is at work in the Kash-
mir dispute between India and
Pakistan.
It is pretty clear by now that
U. N. dictates to warning forces are
not going to be respected, until
such time as the U. N. leadership
that is the big powers-either get
together among themselves to pro-
vide a unified direction for the
U. N. or one bloc succeeds in de-
priving the other of its voting ad-
vantage. It will be possible then
to create a U. N. armed force.
Perhaps the governments were
setting their sights too Highland
the peoples of the world erred in
following that lead-when they ex-
pected the United Nations to be-
come a peace-enforcing agency i'm
|mediately. At some future time it
may achieve that goal; but for the
present its most effective role ap-
pears to be as peace-persuading
agency
