DEADLOCK OVER BERLIN

In Berlin the Soviet-sponsored
or rather Soviet-ordered, mass
meeting, assembled as an an
swer to Thursdays anti-Com-
munist rally which broke up
with the Russians and their
agents shooting into the Berlin
crowds, ended without violence
which had been feared. 1t seems
to have produced only a rather
tepid enthusiasm among the Ber-
liners commanded to participate
but it did add more violent
and recklessly inflanmatory
speeches to the already incen-
diary record of Russian official
policy.
The NEW YORK HERALD
TRIBUNE points out that it is
no longer possible to doubt the
seriousness of the Berlin strug-
gle. Whether one puts the
chances of war at l to 10 or l to
100 (and the latter estimate
would still seem to be sounder)
it is no longer possible to doubt
that there is a chance. On Satur-

affairs and a faithful reflector

by the Rosemary Methodist
Church Pastor, w. r. Stevens,
that the church plans a new
$4,000 structure is another lndl-
cation of the growth of our city.
There are already many beau
tiful churches in our city.
The architects drawing of the
proposed new Rosemary Metho-
dist Church is indeed a beauti-
full one.
The life of most communities
revolves arounds its churches
and its schools. The Rosemary
Methodist Church needs new
structure and the people of
that church well realized the
tremendous need. They are put
ting up the money with which
to build.
1t is further indication that our
city has an is continuing to
grow in the spiritual direction.
The location of the proposed
church is a good one and we
feel, one that will make the
church more accessible to all of
its members as well as visitors
to our city.
The new structure will mean
much to our city not only from
a spiritual standpoint but also
from city identification view

Dy 0IoASoA 40
The pattern of the Truman
campaign is now clear 1t had
apparently been fully consider
ed and projected before the ac-
ceptance speech in Phi ade phla,
although at the time it was not
recognized as a campaign meth
cd. However, the same pattern
was emp Dyed in the Labor DAY
speech at Detroit and subordln-
ates are using it in their speech
es and statements. Perhaps IN
his desire to prove that he is
common man, like Henry Wal
lace, Mr.. Truman resorts to a
form of campaigning not wit
messed among presidential can
didates in this century.
The pattern is one OF simult-
aneous complaint and attack
but it is not against Thomas E.
Dewey or Henry Wallace. 1t is
complaint against and an attack
upon the listening audience. This
is novel campaign method and
is designed to shame segments
of American life for ingratitude,
if not to Mr.. Truman, at any
rate ingratitude to the Democrat
ic Party and the memory OF
Franklin D. Roosevelt. There
fore, they should vote for him
out of gratitude for past favors
done and the hope of favors in
prospect. The President of the
United States thus stipulates
that he is not bound by law, but
by personal transactions on a
quid pro quo basis.
Time after time in the Labor
Day speech he used the theme:
There is only one test of
friendship. 1t is a test of the
heart. You know without being
told who is your friend and who
is not your friend :"
Curiously, Mr.. Truman is not
campaigning against Mr.. Dewey
who is his principal opponent,
but against Henry Wallace,
whose tactics he and his ASSOC
ciates mimic. Thus, Oscar Ew-
ing, who is more and more em-
crying as the Truman spokes-
man, speaking to an audience of
negroes, continued this pattern
of class-consciousness of special
pleading, of breaking American
society into segments of bitter
ness, into spinters of hate. He
said:
=. Every Negro that loves
his race should be fighting for
the reelection of President Tru-
mani"
The only way to make this
pattern effective is to break up
the American people into smaller
and smaller segments and to
brighten each segment into vot-

Washington, Sept. 15-(AP)-
Moving day-Oct. lis nearing
and if you get sore waiting for
the van that day, just re,ner1-
Der:
Every day, including Sunday,
all year round, is moving Cay
for the government. Why?
New agencies are born, old
ones wiped out. Others are made
bigger or smaller.
Some agencies move to Wash
ington, some away from it, and
others from one building to an
other here in Washington.
In short, the need for space by
government agencies is always
changing.
That's why a government
worker you talked 70 TO-DAY on
the phone, may not Ee in tine
same place tomorrow. You have
to hunt him up.
This doesn't happen with the
main parts OF big agency, like
the Commerce or Labor or Jus
tice Departments.
They have their own buildings
and their main offices are there.
But you can see what happens
from this:
The Bureau Of Labor statistics
Is part Of the Labor Department.
Its main offices are in the Labor
Department building. And II had

Allied position in Berlin and de-
claring that no other army N
the world has had such exper-
fence in fighting reaction as the
Red Army and no other power
has such firm allies all over the
world as has the Soviet Union"
One may pass over the irony Of
this campaign against alleged
Anglo-American "facism' being
waged by the identical methods
of violence, intimidation, COM
pulsory mass-meetings, false
and inflammatory propaganda
and the secret police which were
the hallmark of Hitlerism. One
may even pass over the sugges-
tive boast as to the Communist
fifth column "all over the
world" The harsh fact which
remains is that in an atmos-
phere charged with official pol
lev expressions like this, nego-
tiation, agreement. settlement OF
any kind simply becomes I'M
possible.
The situation is already GRIM
ly reminiscent of Japanese
American relations in the last
months of 1941. Normal cultural
and commercial relations are
virtually ruptured; the diplo-
matte negotiations have reached
deadlock; the Tulpanovs, like
the influential Japanese military
spokesman, are issuing inspired
statements so incendlary as to
prohibit any sort of seasoned So
luton: there are ruInors of fl
nal appeal direct to Stain recall
ing President Roosevelt's final
attempt to appeal direct to the
japanese Emperor. And there is
a background of ultimate weak
ness in the Russian system, as
there was in the Japanese, that
at least raises the question of
whether the Russians dare to or
are able to halt.
The firmest possible represen-
tations direct to Stain may
cause a reapprisal by the Polit-
buro of the external dangers it
is running. Failing that, laying
the Berlin case before the
United Nations may dramatlze
the perils of the present Soviet
course. 1t may finally convince
the Politburo that the Western
position in Berlin cannot be
smashed and Western Eu-
rope certainly cannot be over
run by Communist tyranny,
without the major and terrible
war which Russia is not now in
condition to withstand. The
situation is dangerous. The one
means of controlling it is to get
that realization home somehow
to the isolated, nervousomni-
potents in the Kremlin. 1t thin
may be possible to revive the
grounds for true negotiation.
They do not now exist.

ing for Truman. For the princi-
pal instrument is fear. If those
who received special favors can
be convinced that they will lose
what they are not entitled tn,
receive, Truman can be elected.
Mr.. Humans next speech

this pattern, as he undoubtedly
will, he will say that any Ameri-
can farmer who does not vote
for Truman is a fool because
look what Truman-pardon me,
Roosevelt and Truman-did for
the American farmer from 1888
to 1913. Therefore, if the farm
ers do not vote for Truman, they
are ingrates in addition to be-
ing fools.
But speaking to farmers, pei
Sc, will not be enough. The
farmers will have to be broken
into class-conscious seglnen's.
There will be corn farmers,
wheat farmers, potato farmers
and SO on. Before this campaign
is over, each farmer segment Will
be told exactly how many dol
lars Mr.. Truman-that is, the
American taxpayer-provided in
direct subsidy. and the farmers
will be told that if they do
not vote for Truman, the hand
out will cease, for Truman is
not taking the position thar farm
subsidies are an economic pro-
cess devised to prevent our
farmers from falling into the
position of peasants and that the
national economy requires some
such device under certain con-
ditions. No, he refuses 70 treat

pattern of division because this
country is already suffering
from a loss of national unity.
Three decades of subversive pro-

conscious, race conscious, occu-

become quarrelsorne among our
selves but we have forgotten the
essential fact that we are first

committees of the House Of Re-
representatives. last week regard
ing the power of the Fur and
Leather Workers Union of the
C.IO., to extort from non-com-
munist workers and from en-
ployers, as well, contributions to
communist campaign funds and
subscriptions to communist pub
locations.
This is nothing new but the
admission that it is true comes
as an important concession from
employers in the fur and leather
industry. These gentlemen, as a
group, were enthusiasts sup
porters of Franklin D. Roose-
welt and no element of our pee
pie resented more angrily all
evidence that he had created
conditions which might force
American citizens to finance and
otherwise support forces which
are hostile to the United States.
During part of his reign, the
hostility Of the Russian gov
eminent to this country was not
as frank as it has been since
We day but there was no ex-
cuse for any intelligent man to
say that the enmity had been
abandoned or even watered
down. Anyone who could read
could see that there was an ,r-
reconcilable cause Of war be-
tween our country and Soviet
Russia. All that anyone could
possibly offer as an excuse for
dreaming that the Krem!in had
become nice was a fatuous faith
in Roosevelt. OF course people
have a right to be fools over in
sincere heroese but some Of these
idolators went beyond reason
able length. They tried to brow
beat wiser citizens who saw
through Roosevelt and proved,
by analysis, that his Wagner act,
the awful fraud called by the
leering name of labor's Magma
Charta, did contain license for
communists to finance and or
ganize treason and for racket

To be sure, during most Of
his reign, Roosevelt callously ex-

were engaged in the iur and
