Gov. Dewey has given even more
potent reasons for opposing the

a recent speech, recognized every
where as an abject surrender by
the great United States to the
methods of totalitarianism.
ut is thought-control borrowed
from the Japanese war leadership.
It is an attempt to beat down ideas
with a club. 1t Is surrender Of every
thing we believe in. It would
be not only unconstitutional, but
immoral. II we use the laws
already in existence with firmness
and skill and vigor. we can protect
ourselves from our internal enemies
and we can do 1t with scrupulous
regard for the Constitution of the
United States and the Bill Of

Must Keep Life Free.
"The free world" he said, "looks
to us for hope, for leadership and,
most of all, for a demonstration Of
our invincible faith that the free
way of life will triumph so long as
we keep it free"
That is the philosophy which Mr..
Stassen will have to dispute. What
he has to say should give the coun-
try his true measure. 1t should
reveal either that he has thought
the issue through and has basically
sound reasons for the position he
has taken or that he is willing to
ride any wind that blows II it seems
to be blowing toward the White
House.
The American people are torn
between their hopes and their fears.
They hope for enduring peace; they
fear there may be war The formal
exchange between Ambassador Wal
ter Bedel Smith and Foreign Min
lister Molotov-surprisingly broad
cast in full by Moscow radio-has
given new hope that patient, but
firm, pursuit of peace with Russia
may some day succeed. But the
background Of fear. which makes .
proposal such as Mr.. Stassen's pos
sible, still remains. It may be that
Gov. Dewey, in debate, can dissipate
it to some extent.

G. O. P. Plans Upsets
Morse's Move to Ban Segregation
In Southern COLLEGES Annoys Senators

especially designed to save Meharry
which trains 56 per cent OF colored
doctors. Senator Morse moved to
recommit; announced that If his
motion failed he would press for
immediate action on an amendment
to ban segregation in the schools
affected.
AS Senator Morse has made an is
sue of it, Senators must either vote
with him or be in the position OF
sanctioning segregation unless they
choose to throw open the whole
civil rights issue at this time and
there go on record. If they vote
to recommit, they may also annoy
a good many colored people who
will be deprived of the higher edu-
cation the regional pact might bring
them. And despite all the brim-
stone poured forth on the subject,
the colored are voting in increasing
numbers in the South.
Morse's Contention.
Senator Morse contends that ap-
proval of the proposal as it stands
would constitute indirect Congress
sional sanction of segregation and
would be cited to the .detriment OF
future civil liberties cases in the
Supreme Court.
It is fair to say that many Sena-
tors on both sides are tired OF the
obvious politicking on civil rights,
would like to see the whole program
faced honestly and voted up or
down.
As a political question, issues al
fecting the colored race will not
bear so heavily on presidential can
didates as the Republicans have so
great an advantage. Yet all eye
warily those pivotal States-New
York, Ohio, Illinois-where the Ne
gro vote is large.
But also Republicans must this
fall re-elect Senators from three
border States-Oklahoma, Ken
lucky and West Virginia-to retain
Senate control. What Congress or a
Senator does on these issues may
mean defeat or victory to him there.

But most Of the action at La
Salina takes place on the good earth
surrounding the dance floor. All
the food is cooked there, mostly by
witchlike women, squatting beside
iron Kettles. It is outside, in the
flickering light furnished by the
tiny fires beneath the kettles, that
the bartenders work. Nothing fancy
about the bars. Just more upturned
boxes and a bottle Of rum, which
the bartender produces either from
his hip pocket or from inside the
box. You're liable to drink your
drink from anything from an empty
ink bottle to a tin can.
The floor show at La Salina never

same way that we are kept in
formed about their diplomatic
actions.
But what is more serious is the
fact that the Russians took the
ball and threw it back to us. BY re-
stating their policies they managed
to put us in a bad light, without,
however, offering any solution ex-
cept further appeasement by us.
All this flows from the conviction
held by the policy-framing group
in the State Department that, re-
gardless Of how aggressive the gov
ernment of the U. S. S. r. may ap-
pear to be, diplomacy in the END
will win the present nerve war.
It is the very same group OF men
who prevailed on President Tru-

authorities in Berlin restricted our
communications between that city
and the western occupation zones.

Secretary of Defense Forrestal and
the Joint Chiefs Of Staff that Gen.
Lucius D. Clay, our commander IN
Germany, be ordered to ignore the
Russian restrictions, which were
contrary to international agree
mentS.
Tops All Previous Mistakes.
Their belief is that we must do
everything possible to avoid Offend
ing Russia or making Russia sus-
picious.
For the same reason the pro-
posal to give limited military as
sistance to the Western European
nations, which signed treaty OF
defensive alliance at Brussels, has
been delayed, although the draft
of a message to Congress propos-
ing limited lend-lease has been on
President Truman's desk for sew
eral weeks.
The miscalculation of how Russia
would act after receiving an "ex-
PLANTATION" of our policy in the ERP
and in partial reconstruction OF our
military power has topped all pre-
vious mistakes by the State Depart
ment. 1t is highly improbable that
the Russian Foreign Once made
any mistake-as is suggested IN
Washington-when it converted our
statement of readiness to talk into
an actual proposal for immediate
direct conversations.
Mr.. Molotov made 1t clear once
and for all in his reply to Ambassa-
dor Smith that such discussions
must be started on the basis that
America is wrong and Russia Is
right. Neither President Truman
nor the members OF his cabinet
would accept any such basis.

Apparently, Secretary Of State
Marshall's political advisers, who
claim to have expert knowledge OF

Mr.. Molotov kept strict secrecy
about his conversation with Hit
ler's ambassador prior to the non
aggression pact of August 1889, ne
would treat conversations with the

But they ignored the fact that the
German Russian conversations
were initiated by the Russians
themselves, who were anxious tc
