The people's voice., 1948-03-19


First off, among who be listed as most
ardent Wallace hackers, there little hope at the
onset that the Wallace ticket could register any more
than sizeable protest fate were kind
we might be able to engender enough enthusiasm to
establish continuing political party.
However, as the people have become more aroused
over the dangers of brought about by the admin
strations illadvised operations the international
scene, and seemingly draws nearer by the day.
the momentum for peace at the same time is gaining
ground
Wallace today the only national figure who hasn't
'dOubletalked" this matter peace His stand for
world peace and understanding has kndled fire in
hearts of Americans everywhere-is already striking
fear into the hearts of politicians of partes-and
bids fair to sweep the nation like gigantic prairie
fire by next November Even Senator Taft able poll
tcian that he is, to the strength the
wallace appeal for peace, and has adopted peace"
platform somewhat akin to that of Mr. Wallace Mr.
Taft knows that, though nominated, he will have
difficult time beating Wallace because of TaftHartley-
ism and the high of ving-uness he can convince
the people of the nation that he too is man peace
So far as the Presidents civil rights program is
concerned-it is very laudable and something that
should have been put by the many years
ago. However, doubt if he'll push its enactment as
vigorously he should in view of Dixie rebellion"
Already there reports out of Washington that he
is backing up this program and is attempting to
dump it squarely into the lap of the Republican
gress. Another thingoften has the President spoken
forth with considerable liberal conviction only
around and just the opposite example he paws
fervent lip service to the UN but with the exception
of Palestine, have at time during the past two
years followed other than unateral foreign policy
Even the issue of Palestnian partition we appar-
emily are attempting to weasel" out of our United
Nations position.
Thus far as Truman is concerned genuine lib
erals have lost all confidence in him. and for good
reason 1t is impossible to reconcile his shameful
5trikebreaking tactics in the railroad and coal miners
strikes with his liberal utterances also mpossi
bic to reconcile supporting murderous corrupt
Greek oigarchy, and regime in China
with his pous assertions that want only peace
We-the rank and fe-do want peace-A HIST
PEACE-but not just peace that will ensure our
exploiters of open field in securing
bigger and better worlds to plunder We seek an end
% "cOloniaism" the worldwide scene Just as we
seek an end to "colonialism" in copper-bound
state
Wallace, like Teddy Roosevelt has caught the imag-
nation of millions in all parts of nation His pro-
ram for prosperity and abundance is causing
eOple in all stratas of American life to STAND UP
md BE COUNTED.
