Grafton" to the possibility of run

Flags Democrats Stand
Wallace parted company with
the Democrats with these words:
"TO those who have come to me
asking the conditions of my adher-
ence to the present Democratic ad-
ministratiOn, / have said: Let the
administration repudiate universal
military training and rid itself of
the Wall-Street-military team that
is leading us toward war.
MY terms to the Democratic
high command have been we'll
known. BY their actions and final
ly by their words, they have said:
Henry Wallace, we welcome your
support but we will not change our
policies.
"In answering me, the Demo-
cratic leadership also gave its ans
wer to the millions of Americans
who demand the right to vote for
peace and prosperity. The
leadership of the Democratic Party
would deprive the American people
of their rightful opportunity to
choose between progress and re-
action in 194S. So far as the Re-
publican Party is concerned, there
is no hOpe-as George Norris, FL
orellO LaGuardia and Wendell
Willlzie long ago found out. "

The bigger the peace vote in
1948, the more definitely the world
will know that the United States is
not behind the bipartisan reac-
tiOnary. war policy which is divid-
ing the world into two armed
camps and making inevitable the
day when American soldiers will
be lying in their Arctic suits in the
Russian snow"

A New Party -Wallace's script

whether that would be its name

and promised to combat universal
military training and espouse a
peace program Of abundance and
security" He added.
