Brother, Visiting D. C..

Pierre de Gaulle, mayor of Paris
and younger brother of Gen. Charles
de Gaulle, declared here last night
that the French people do not want
to be Communists, but rather lean
toward a strong form of government
somewhat similar to that in the
United States.
The tall president of the Paris
municipal council, who looks like his
brother. arrived here for a few

is held, Mr.. de Gaulle replied:
"Yes, without the slightest coupt-

But he added quickly:

powers, his brother emphasized, but
wants to restore democracy in
France. The visitor insisted that the
Generals organization was not a
"rightist movement" but consists of
people from all parties from rightist
and leftist quarters.
French Think as You Do"
The current unrest IN France,
which has resulted in some street
fighting, was attributed 10 high
prices, particularly food prices. He
said the Communists are using the
price issue to stir up trouble.
The French people" he said,
think exactly as you do, They do
not want to be COMMUNISTS and
they want to have a regime which,
like that of the United States, will
give them a Parliament to make
laws and a stable government to
enforce them"
France, Mr. de Gaulle believes,
should change her constitution to
one patterned more on the Consti-
tuition of the United States, to sep
arate the executive and legislative
branches, both of which now are
held by the French Parliament.

was not good enough after Mr..
Truman got through with his burn
ing attacks on it.
Losing the Presidency was bad.
The losses in Senate and HOuse
was staggering. At the worst. the
COP leaders thought there might
be a 48-4S tie in the Senate, and no
one even considered the possibility
of losing House control AS if
stands, the Democrats have amaz-
ingly large majOrities in both bod
les.
Also serious is the COPS heavy
loss in gOvernOTships. This means
a weakening in state strength. a
decline in patronage, and the un-
dermining of the local groups upon
which the vitality of a party large
ly depends. The big policies are
made in Washington, but it is in
the precincts and the townships
that the basic work is done.
These are all COP debts. Heav-
lily on the credit side is that the
party did poll 22,OOO,OOO votes or
so. A party that can do that is
hardly dead. And everyone knows
how the. Democratic Party came
back after the dOldrums it found
itself in after the first war. There
will be some reorganization. The
party will have to look around for
attractive candidates and start
grooming them for the future.
There will have to be greater and
more effective effort to attract
younger voters Such matters as
these will be the main concern of
COP chieftains in the years ahead.
Milford chronicle., 1948-11-19

The 1948 election belongs to his
tory, and the historians will dig
deep and long in search of the
why's and wherefOres of Mr.. Tru-
mans amazing victory. 1t was an
unprecented contest in several re-
spects, and not the least of these
is the fact that apparently only one
man in high position in the cOun-
try sincerely believed that the
President could be elected. That
was the President himself, and he
was right.
The magnitude of the upset is il
lustrated by the publication, in one
of the nations largest weekly pic
ture magazines, just prior to the
election, of a full-page photo of
Governor Dewey with a caption re-
ferring to him as the President
elect! Every one of the polls. de-
spite a remarkable record of ac-
curacy in previous elections, was
dead wrong. So were the gamblers
who fixed the betting odds. And so
to their current sOrrOW-Were a
great many Democratic office hold
ers who abandoned the Truman
cause in the belief that all was lost
and tried to save what they could
for themselves.
So much for the Interchangeable
facts. What theories can be ad-
vanced to explain Mr.. Truman's S
demonstrated ability to get the
vote?
There is some criticism of the
Republican campaign, and it ex-
listed even before the election.
Those who feel this hold that Mr..
Dewey was too confident, too sure
of victory, and, as a consequence,
too careful in his tactics He did
not go in for an all-Out scrap.
Ii is possible that, also due to
Over-cOnfidence, the COP Organi-
cations partially failed on the vital
job of getting out the vote The
total vote cast, while large, was
not as great as was expected. The
Democrats worked extremely hard
at urging their followers to go to
the polls. So, perhaps, substantial
numbers of Republican registrants
Milford chronicle., 1948-11-19

didn't trouble to vote due to the
comfortable illusion that it was in
the bag.
The labor leaders, as was to be
expected, are claiming the lions
share of the credit for the upset.
Labor was doubtless an important
factOr-but it is also true that Mr..
Truman was very strong in the
great agricultural areas which had
been written off as Dewey terri
tory His margins in most indus
trial regions, for example, were not
as great as ROOsevelt's. But his
margins in the country were often
greater. Perhaps the farmers took
Mr.. DeWey's assurances with a
grain OF salt that farm price sup
port would be continued, and re-
garded Mr.. Truman as a safer bet.
DR.. Gallup, whose poll missed
the boat with the rest, has said that
there was a tremendous surge to
Truman at the very end, and that
this was largely at the expense of
Henry Wallace. That, he thinks, is
the main reason for the polls going
wrong. The very poor showing
made by Wallace gives credence to
this opinion.
In all probability Mr.. Truman
scored heavily when it came to the
housewives vote. He never stop
ped blaming the Republicans for
the high cost of living. So, rightly
or wrongly, many women voters de-
cided that he was the man to help
them with their budget problems.
Last, but by no means least, was
the Presidents courageous fight in
the final weeks. He conducted an
essentially old fashioned cam
paign. He called names and pulled
no punches. On several occasions
he threw carefully prepared spec
ches away, and spoke his mind
without a teXt-and it was then
that he got the most tumultOus ap-
plause. His approach and his at
titude were hOmespun and down to
earth, and people liked it. Ameri-
can sentiment traditiOnally runs to
fighters and to underdOgs, and that
may have been enough to put the
President over in an election which
was very close. It was so close, in
fact, that a shift of but a handful
of votes in a few key states would
have given the decision to Dewey.
One of the big questions now con-
Germs the future of the Republican
Party. 1t could not have received
