In his dramatic appearance before
the delegates who had just made
his nomination unanimous, the New
York Governor promptly Endorsed
the new Republican platform, which
followed the Vandenberg foreign
policy OF cooperation with like
minded nations for collective secur-

Nations organization work.
Atone point he deyiated from his
prepared text to say:
Let me assure you that begin

Free From Commitments.
Gov. Dewey said he is free" and
"unfettered" from any commit
ments.
In his talk to the Philadelphians
who turned out to welcome him
later in the evening, he also made
lit clear, that in the coming cam.
paign he will challenge the effec-
tiveness of the Truman administra-
tons handling of foreign policy.
In more specific terms than he
had addressed the convention dele
gates, he told the throng outside
his hotel:
We will establish foreign policy
which does not vacillate one day
and go to appeasement, and the
next day go to bluster. We shall
establish a State Department dno
a policy for our people which will
start building a strong and perma-
nent peace in this world. And tc
that I dedicate my whole soul and
every capacity I can bring to it,"
Gov. DeWey's first act after driv-
ing away from the crowded conven-
ton hall was to 60 to his hotel room
and put through a long distance
call to his mother in Owosso, Mich
While he was making the call he

Peron-Supported Candidates Ahead

BUENOS AIRES, R)-First re- turns from yesterdays national elections favored candidates SUD- ported by President John Peron.
 Although electoral boards will not begin the official count in con- gressional races until Wednesday in most provinces, returns in mu- nicipal elections held simultane- ously gave victories to administra- ton supporters in the provinces of Santa Fe, Entre Rios and Jujuy.
 These returns tended to bear out claims by the Peronista party of a sweeping victory.
 Peron quit the hospital six days after an emergency appendectomy to ballot. Then he settled down in the suburban presidential resi- dence.
 The election was to fill 83 of the 158 seats in the champer of depu- ties, congress- lower house. The Peronistas have held 1O9.
 No casualties were reported.

 George Washington Sookr u k gave a dance, traditional in his family accompanied by the na- tive musicians and singers.
 Mrs. Robert Okpealuk climaxed the evening by demonstrating how a seal is butchered by the native women with the ancient tool called an "oolu." The speed with , which she dispatched the seal Caught earlier in the program by Sam AilaD was amazing. In a matter of minutes the entire ani- mai was ready for the kettle, and the skin ready to be dried.
 The Festival Dance was enacted by Lawrence Mezamman and an old King Island native called Imanna, who wore the traditional shoulder length mitts in their per formance.
 The last dance of the evening was the Khagri Sometimes re- ferred to as the KoZga, and one never publicly performed before. This dance was Diomede dance which has been handed down for generations and used in celebra- tions after successful whale hunt. It shows the dancers emerg- ing from the hold in the top of the underground club or kozga, and entering into the dance dressed in ceremonial garb. The dance was enacted by MT. and Mrs. Robert Okpealuk.
 The last act on the program was blanket toss which was some what limited as the contestants sailed close to the ceiling of the auditorium.
 Winners were drawn for the prizes with Mrs. Mabel Ramsey winning the door prize of a fur jacket; Carl Smith winning the coveted bubble gum for the chill dren and Henry Drier winning the raffle which was another beauti- full fur jacket to be made to order by Sam Mogg at Polet's Fur Shop.
 Due to the fact that the show lasted until after midnight and it was too late to start the games, they were omitted.
 The committee was highly com plimented for the fine perform ance and splendid continuity throughout the entire program. It is hoped that this can be an an- rua1 event

Profile of American Communist
A Writer Attempts to Picture the Motives and
Reasons for Joining Up
By RssseH Rarnes

What kind of person is the American Com
munist? How did he join the organization3
Can he be readily recognized? What do the
Russians think Of him?
Observation of openly avowed American
Communists, including a few around United
Nations headquarters at Lake Success, plus
the testimony of Elizabeth T. Bentley ut
Washington and the Canadian Royal Commits
sion spy report, permit general answers to those
questions.
The ordinary American Communist is q
frustrated idealist, who is shocked and sickened
by the obvious inequalities, injustices and .ugh-
nesses Of a competitive. mercantile society,"
Frequently he has suffered some personal
financial or social blow. Almost invariably he
has an intellectual, philosophical bent
But always he is utopian-a dreamer Of .
perfect order, in which there is economic
plenty, leisure and happiness for everybody,
no matter under what circumstances he hap
pened to be born.
Because Of shocking personal experiences or
inherent Embellishments, the American Com
munist chooses to close his mind to the good
which is coupled with the bad in the American
system. Instead of recognizing the high aver
age standard of living, freedom, abundant
opportunities. and predominance Of decent
people, the American Communist focuses on
slums, racial and social discrimination, evils
of inherited wealth, and explorations of human
beings by some capitalists
They See the Good With the Bad.
Not all Americans with such attitudes are
Communists Plenty of ordinary Americans
are sickened by many of the things that 60 on
in the United States-the sacrificing of human
decencies to the profit motive, and the adula-
ton given wealthy social parasites But these
better-balanced Americans realize there is
more good than bad in the system, and that
improvements can and are steadily being made.
There are also the fellow travellers" who
are Communist in their beliefs, but lack the
courage to give up large incomes and respect
able positions to follow the Kremlin. This is
the group Arthur Koestler has aptly termed
the Rabbits of the Left"
Where the genuine American Communist
differs from the so-called liberal and fellow
traveller" is in:
Conviction that the American system can
be reformed with the least cost over the long
pull by violent revolution.
Willingness to make the break with respect.
able society and back up beliefs with action.
Readiness to become cog in tough, ruth
less, highly disciplined machine.
Belief that the doctrines of Marx and Lenin
are more enlightened than those of Christ, the
classical philosophers, and orthodox economists.
Acceptance of Moscow as the modern holy
city.
Because of the political and economic cli-
mate in which he lives, the ordinary garden

at once is aroused and the great majority of
men look upon her with disdain and through
envious eyes. ,.~
q In the past few decades women have done
much to explode the proverbial theory that
men are their superiors and progressively are
moving out of the eclipse in which they have
reposed so quiescently sncast dawn OF eigili-
cation.
The concept that man is superior TO- woman
Is lot of poppycock. The mental qualities
and creative talents provide the nub upon
which the whole question Of masculine superb
GRITTY turns. In what realm of human activity
have men demonstrated that they have sur
passed woman in the performance of mental
feats or creative work? The answer to that
question Is: None.
Women have invaded both the professional
and industrial fields and in not few instances
they are performing their tasks incomparably
more efficiently than their male co-workers.
Here Is salute to the momentum that the
feminist movement progressively is gaining and
the hope that soon the invisible barriers which
are preventing woman from moving into the
White House are broken down. CA L.

Labor Law INDICATED

Reporters trailing the presidential yacht
through Delaware Bay have sent word
that Mr. Truman is casting about for
arguments that would support the Demo-
cratic pledge to repeal the Taft-Hartley
Act.
II is rot going to be very fruitful
search When the bill embodying this law
reached the White House little more
than year ago the President embraced
the phony criticisms which the union lead
ers had made against the law and plunged
off the deep end with them.
The labor leaders had been shouting
that this was a labor bill. Listening
to them, one could almost hear the clank-
ing of the chains which were being forged
for American workers, and the President,
while not going quite that far, nevertheless
adopted as his own the bulk of the indict-
ment brought against the bill by the union
bosses.
But the gloomy prophecies have not been
fulfilled After year of experience with
the Taft-Hartley Act, the American worker
remains free man. He is not in chains,
and the largely successful drive for third
round of wage increases has shown that
the bargaining power of the unions in
pursuit Of legitimate aims has not been
impaired.
It is no doubt true that this first year of
experience has brought to light some i'm
projections in the law. The union shop
clause, for instance, has proved to be
cumbersome and of dubious value. But
these imperfections, if they be such, are
% i,,,yo oaSi1v no
corrected by amendment. In its main
aspects, the law has been proved sound
and the next Congress, instead Of repeating
1t, ought to strengthen the statute in
several respects. Experience has shown
that the workers whose enslavement was
visualized by William Green are still
capable of trampling on the rights OF
Others Within the past few days mobs
masquerading as union pickets have
forcibly prevented people who wanted to
work from getting to their jobs, have
physically beaten local police and have
flouted the orders of local courts designed
to restrain picketing abuses. If Congress
deals with any labor legislation at its next
session, the prospects of strengthening the
law in these neglected areas should be
fully explored.
As for the President, the country can
only await presentation of his arguments.
He is scheduled to open his campaign with
a Labor Day speech in Detroit, and this
presumably will be the occasion for his
opening blast against the Taft-Hartley
law. There is no doubt that Mr. Truman
can drum up an argument that will appeal
to the labor bosses, and perhaps thereby
inject little vim into their listless support
of his candidacy. But it is exceedingly
doubtful that he can make out case which
will convince the people that this law has
not worked we'll in their interest

Doldrums ION 'Chonoe"

The persistent inertia of the London
stock market is noteworthy for us Amer
leans for several reasons. To begin with.
this inertia Is due in large part to the
same political and economic uncertainties
IN the world situation which trouble finan-
clal circles and the investing public here
And although the London Stock Exchange
is no longer the market arbitrator that it
was half century ago, it's quotations still
reject the judgments of veteran operators
and seasoned investors which have behind
them generations of experience on
worldwide scale.
First on the list of inhibiting factors is
the Moscow conference. Weeks of tense
expectancy with no real hint of the trend
or outcome of those momentous converse
tons between the Ambassadors of the
Western Powers and the Soviet leaders
have encouraged pronounced "wait-and-
see" attitude, reflected in meaningless
swayings of the Londo.l market within very
narrow limits, combined with new low
records for volume of turnover. Nobody
seems willing to take market position
until the result of the Moscow talks is
definitely known. The dangers of pre-
mature evaluation are clear. 1t is vir-
tually certain that the reaching of even a
temporarily satisfying agreement in Mos
COW would cause a sharp rise in the
market, whereas an admitted stalemate or
failure would precipitate a commensurate
decline.
Yet even clearing of the political skies
would probably not dissipate uncertainties
and apprehensions in the economic field.
Some of these are chiefly local and con-
Germ the British picture. which is none
too bright. But the British continue to
worry about our own problem Of imitation.
Leaning heavily upon us as Britain does
for its economic recovery, the British view
with alarm our rising prices which accen-
tuate their dollar shortage. London A.
nancial circles feel that America has
undertaken a greater economic effort than
we can handle without grave repercussions
upon our economy. As they see 1t, this
effort includes a complex of factors such
as foreign aid, extensive rearmament, sup
port of farm prices, installation of new
plant and equipment, and. the raising Of
domestic living standards with cheap
money policy thrown In as an additional
strain. To these British financial experts
there is warning parallel with their own
recent experiences, since most Of them feel
