truth from the tired lips of a
great man.
Wallace said during his recent
tour through the southland, he
was confronted with people of
hate and prejudice and was de-
MED the very right to speak of
brotherhood and Christianity of
all men black and white. The very
ones that were bitterly against
these things are the ones that will
be helped most. He continued that
egg throwing was misrepresen-
tation of the people of the south
who are working toward better
economic living condition.
Mr., Wallace stated that he wit
messed families in the south liv-
ing in implanted shacks with Win
dow frames without windows,
door frames without doors and
three sleeping in one bed in Win
ter and people sleeping on the
floor in summer.
He said denying the privilege
of the Negro is denying the privi-
lege of the white man. Segrega-
ton can cause the destruction of
the country.
He continued that both the
Democrat and Republican Parties
are parties of profit He mention
ed that even though President
Truman has talked of Civil Rights,
he has neglected to eliminate dis
elimination in the Armed Forces.
During his talk, Mr. Wallace
placed before his listeners the
facts about Negroes who have
been denied the right to vote and
mentioned Negroes who have been
murdered in an attempt to vote.
The Progressive Party's aim is
to see that all free Americans re-
gardless of color be given the
right to vote in future elections.
Mr. Wallace will continue to
speak on Monday nights to an
swer questions sent him by the
people As Mr. Wallace makes
himself heard and his party plat
form understood, many right
thinking people of this country
will join in the fight with Wal
lace and the Progressive Party to
eliminate discrimination, and help
bring about a higher standard of
living in the south, thus making
the United States a true democra-
cy.

This Changing World
Russian Pressure on Finland Believed
Omen of Further Expansion in Spring

Greek government-under pressure
from the United States-undertak-
ing a large scale offensive. The
United States must keep the upper
hand in Greece In order to keep
Russia out of the Mediterranean.
In France and italy the Commu-
mist threat has deepened as the
party has sought to recover from re-
cent setbacks in both countries. The
internal quiet which prevails in both
countries is no evidence that the
Communists have given up. That
they still hope to overthrow the
democratic governments OF those
countries is clear.
Serious Threat to Us.
Communist domination in either
France or Italy would be serious
threat to the United States in var1-
GUS ways. The military strategic i'm
portance of italy is the same as that
Of Greece. Its control by the Reds
would give Russia virtual control OF
the Mediterranean, and vast held
for fresh political and military op-
erations.
The Importance of France to
American policy is different from,
but even greater than Italy's
France means Western Europe, and
the United States still have influence
in Western Europe, not so much be-
cause of our aff1liation with Britain
as because France remains in the
democratic column.
A Communist controlled France
would mean a completely Comn1u-
mist Germany, for our days would
be definitely numbered in the occu-
patton of the former Reich. The
position Of American forces would
be made absolutely untenable be-
tween q Communist France and the
Russian zone of Germany.
How the United States could avoid
drastic measures-perhaps even hos.
tilities-in the event Of a Commu.
mist coup IN France or Italy Is difi-
cult to imagine, so sharp would be
! the effect on Americas own security
If we did pass the matter over with
only words of protestation, we coulc
be sure the moment for a more di.
rect attack on the United States

hell? Does he for one moment
think that he, and he alone, has a
feeling for widows and orphans and
girls whose sweethearts have gone
forever?
In the world to eome-let us hope
and pray-there will be q day when
citizens think that food and quiet
and sleep and uprightness mean
more than anything else.
Not World of Today.
But that is not the way the world
is today.
The world of 194S is q world where
might is right. ~,
It's a shame, but it Is true.
And I, as an American, believe
that posterity will mark down the
valiant efforts of this country to
keep a decent balance during the
years 1947-48.
This country may fail in its efforts
to lead the world to decency, but no
one will ever convince me that 1t
didn't try.
In conclusion: I'm a little sick OF
Mr.. Wallace thinking he is the only
nice man in this country.
Lots of men have laid down their
lives for it, Mr.. Wallace.
And lots Of other men are ready
to do it again.

On the Record
Our Civilization Is Seen Committed,
Like Soviet, to Economic Determinisrr1

such societies fail by reason Of their
mechanistic concepts. There is no
such thing as a measurable unit of
human efficiency in the terms In
which a machine is measurable,
which, If it but receives proper fuel
ing and maintenance, always be-
haves the same way. The efficiency
of human beings depends on psy-
Geological factors as numerous as
the persons involved. A man
placed" for the public interest,
in a job he is capable of performing
but dislikes, will be inefficient. His
efficiency also may drop to zero for
no better reason than that he has
had quarrel with his wife.
No Measure Of Artistry.
The efficiency of an Einstein, pur-
suing fantastic and fascinating
hunch, is not measurable in any
general terms, nor Is the efficiency
Of any artistic genius. Yet the
British government has planned
that all artists should be put at
essential" work unless their activi-
ties are producing income. On this
thesis Van Gogh, whose pictures
had their greatest sale after his
death, might have been made a
street cleaner with the probable re-
suit that he would have produced
neither pictures nor clean streets.
The problems Of Europe-and
America-will not, I think, be
solved, until our civilization-form-
ing minds have discovered a more
satisfactory reason for living than
to be consumers Of goods. The
Marshall Plan can only prolong the
lease ON time in which to find
salvation. The crisis Is not in the
economy, but in the suspended con-
dition OF consciousness regarding
why and for what human societies
exist. The economic crisis itself Is
not the cause but the result of the
political, (and philosophicaD vacuum

of the third party headquarters that
this is the year 1948, and not the
year 2002 or 2048 or 2154. They need
to be reminded that today is today
and that the world we are living IN
is made up of todays, and that all
the tomorrows are still counting on
the sun to bring them from beyond
the horizon. 49,
They need, those Wallace people
something to let them in on the fact
that you don't solve 1948's problems
by dancing in the mists OF the days
the years, and the centuries thai
are to come.
He Isn't The First.
They need to be told that Mr.
Wallace has no monopoly or
decency.
He isn't the first man who eve1
walked the earth to feel that there
should be sweet and lovely
brotherhood of man. He isn't the
first man who ever knew in hi
heart that guns and cannons ane
blood and misery are not the things
that the world wants.
He is against universal military
training. He is against sending
abroad anything more formidable
than a tractor. He is against any
gesture toward Russia that doesn't
include an embrace.
So are we all-if we didn't know
that this Is 1948.
Does Mr.. wallace have the ef-
frontery to say that man like Mr.
Marshall, Mr.. Eisenhower, MIR. Tru'
man, Mr.. Dewey, Mr.. Stassen, o.

Vandenberg Threat Gains
Dewey Camp Is Seen Fearing Boom
For Senator After Democratic Split

StaSsen has not. However, Mr.
Stassen has been compelled to chal-
1enge the leaders in any way that
he could find.
The Dewey-Dulles relation pre-
sents one hazard should Senator
Vandenberg teeter on the brink OF
becoming a candidate. Gov. Dewey
is committed to Mr.. Dulles for his
Secretary Of State as part of his
reinsurance to the internationalists.
He could not, therefore, make deal
to bestow that post on the Senator,
as his rivals could.
Already slightly overtrained-after
all, Gov. Dewey has been a candi-
date for President for 10 years
the Dewey people have reacted
sensitively to Democratic troubles
that rob him of his claim to be the
indispensable New York man. They
obviously are being careful OF what
they claim, careful OF what they say
about other candidates.
Stassen-Dewey Row. ~,
They profess not TO understand
why Mr.. Stassen has so vehemently
said he would not run with Gov
Dewey. They have heard that Mr.
Stassen blames Gov. Dewey for a
report that Mr.. Stassen came tc
Albany to make q deal for second
place on the Dewey ticket. The
facts are, according to Dewey people
Mr.. Stassen didn't-and Gov. Dewey
didn't say 50. either.
One of the strong impressions
gained here is that, come what may
they all will be heartily glad to have
the issue decided.
It also is clear that, with justin
able pride in their management Of
great State that demands superior
government, the Dewey forces are
eager to take a crack at Washing
ton. They think they've got the
know-how and their assurance in
this regard is refreshing after thu
dawdling at both ends of Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
Because of the enforced delay in
realizing his presidential ambitions
Gov. Dewey Of course has been ablt
to give his brain trust long intern.
ship in government. They have
tested their ideas in practice and
sharpened their wits on q fairly
competent Legislature. ..
Their mettle could have been
tested even better had the Demo-
Gratis during this interval been able
to put up a real contest, which they
have not. Faced with the probable
Republican candidate for President
for four years, Democrats here have
scarcely dealt him even a glancine
blow. It is a measure Of that party's
present decrepitude in the State.
