Speaker Says Wallace Aim Is
To Kill Demos In 48, Win In
50; Build Negro Party In South

The Wallace third party should
not be dismissed as just another
scatter Drained third party
movement that will evaporata
after Election Day. Its leaders
are shrewd Communists who
they know exactly where they
expect to 60 and have a defin-
lite plan to get there. The pre-
mise-upon which all their plans
is based is that America IS
headed for a terrible depression:
when it arrives, the people will
throw out the party in power
and take the alternative parry.
The Wallaceitese Wanr the Re-
publicans to be in power during
the depressen; then If the Pro-
gressives have completed the
destruction of the Democratic
party this year, they will be the
alternative party by 1852. Wal
lace, the front man, will he used
until the Communists capture
the machinery of government,
afterwards, Wallace will be
dumped; trusted Communists
take over.
These statements were made
last night to the Rotary club by
James L. Wick, former foreign
and Washington correspondent
and brother of Milton l. Wick,
president of the Roanoke Rapids
Herald. Wick, who attended the
Progressive convention in Phil
adelphia as well as the Repub-
lican and Democratic conven-
tons, emphasized that he was
describing the theories OF the
Wallace leaders; he was not pr.-
dieting that any of these things
would happen. If their premises
were false, the conclusions would
be equally false.
Wallace, on Oct. 20, 1345, pre-
dicted that z million would he

1916 almost all officials in TIE
Roosevelt and Truman admins
trations were making similar
predictions. They had absorbed
the theories taught by left wing
economists in the universities
that capitalism was boom-bust
system that would have to make
way for some form of collectiv-
ism, the government paternalistl-
cally taking care of the people,
the people being unable to take
care of themselves.
The second part Of the Pro-
gressive program is that the
Democratic party must be effec-
lively and completely destroyed.
In the North, one method of
destruction is being used; in the
South, another entirely different
method.
In the North, the Progressives
are putting up candidates with
big names. Elmer Benson, former
governor of Minnesota, IS being
put up to take votes away from
Minneapolis Mayor Hubert
Humphrey, Democratic nominee,
who otherwise might 'lnseat Re-
publican Senator Joseph Eall.

a large segment of the Wallace
leadership; for example, q pro-
