Mr.. Wallace's BRAIN -trusters hops
for q similar outcome-a campaign
which will confuse all issues, until
in the end nobody will know who,
who or what's what.
He made q good start. Like all

"evil" men-Democrats, Republicans

except Mr.. Wallace and his hackers
He promised the moon without
coming to grips with q single prob

prosperity, and at the moment the
United States has both. It also has
imitation; q world in the doldrums
which contributes to 1t, and fear Of
war, since civil wars already rage
in many parts Of the globe. But
Mr.. Wallace has the cure. What?
Elect Mr.. Wallace.
Has Program Of Words.
What does he offer? Well, a

and security" But what program?
eve can prevent depression If only
we organize for peace in the same
comprehensive way we organize for
war;" What does that mean? In
war you have CONSUMPTION Of man
power, restrictions on consumption,
priorities on materials, immense
bureaucracies, forced savings and
gigantic deficits endured because
there is an external enemy and all
desires are subservient to victory.
You cannot organize for peace as
you organize for war because peace
and war are antitheses.
The part Of Mr.. Wallace's speech
dealing with Russia might have been
written In the Daily Worker.
We-not the SoWets-have parti-
tened Europe.
We-not the soviets-are war

We-not the Soviets-have baked

John A. Reilly, vice chairman Of the
Community Committee for the Ma.
rine Corps Reserve Enrolment Pro-
gram, in a statement calling atten-
ton to Marine Corps Reserve Week
January 1917.
Mr.. Reilly, who is president Of the
Board Of Trade, declared:
ITO the young American. veteran
or not, the Citizen Marine Corps
offers immediate participation in an
active and worthwhile organization
which shares in the United States
Marine Corps peacetime program.
"The Marine Reserve unit In
Washington is q community organ
ization, made up Of young citizens
under the guidance and instruction
Of well-known local leaders. It's
aim Is to become . part Of the con-
structive life Of the community and
to contribute toward It's welfare and
advancement"

She took another look ut her

at my palm, gave the horoscope q
whirl or two, and continued.
"A thousand and one things good
and helpful for the world could be
done, were it not for what all Of us
humans have-ambition and pride.
It Is human for Mr.. Truman to cut
corners and get elected. It is human
for Mr.. Taft to skate on the thin Ice
Of his own self-respect in trying for
the White House. It is human for

Gen. Eisenhower to cast OF the
forthrightness he. had in the war

cute. You see, the general can't
lose, the way he is playing 1t now.
That's good for the general, but Is 1t
good for the couutry?"
Nine. Ida was getting me de-
pressed. got up to leave.
Just remember what I told you,
son. It'll be a bad year. But being
human, you'll understand. My guess
is you are a little ashamed Of things
you have done for your own good.
Am I right?"
Yes, she was right. I guess when

man Is inclined to hustle for him.

Mr.. Vishinsky-prosecutor Of the

Quakers and. Methodists," as Mr.

1.-THE Communist international

1.-THE fundamental principle Of THE

Man Found Dead 18 Years
To Day After Killing Friend
BY The Assoeiotsd Press


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. "A So
year-old man who police said acci-
dentally shot and killed a friend
on New Years Eve IS years ago, was
found shot to death In the kitchen
Of his home here yesterday.
The body Of Frank p. Cannon,
was found by his brothers. James,
jr., and Joseph. A sawed-of shot
gun lay near the body.
Detective Sergt. Frank flanagan
said Mr.. Cannon apparently became
more morose with each succeeding
New Year since the death Of his
friend and took his life as the New
Year was being ushered in.
Records Of the coroner's inquest
disclosed Mr.. Cannon accidentally
shot and killed Edward Upset, 10,

been declared surplus BY the Wal
Department. But It appears, &C.
|cording to high ofncials Of the STATE
Department, thAt these are In such
bad condition that they are nc
longer Of any use. The ohserva-
tion Of the Chinese that what may
be useless for An American soldier
could bs . luxury" for the Chinese
has besn Of no avail. The furred
uniforms, coats and boots are still
In their boxes In the Aleutians.
The prospective loss Of Manchuria
to the Communists Is regarded By
most Warrington military experts
as seriously endangering Americas
security, besides being . death blow
to the national government Of
China.
U. 8. Envoys Outmaneuvered.
The Russians once more have out
maneuvered the American diplo-
mats. At the Cairo meeting In 1913
when President Roosevelt, Prime
Minister Churchill and Generals
simo Chang KAi-snek got tosethe,
to discuss Far Eastern problems, the
Chinese leader received formal as
surances that Manchuria would be
returned to China at the end Of the
war. This formal promise by the
two western leaders enabled Chang
to override the opposition Of his
supporters In Chungking who were
advocating the acceptance Of tempt
ing japanese peace offers.
We changed our position some
what ut Yalta when Mr.. Roosevelt
promised Stain to induce the Chi
nese government to accept the re-
instatement in Manchuria Of The
privileges which Czarist Russia had
lost after the Russo-Japanese wal
In 1906. But Manchuria was still to
be returned as . Chinese territory
In 1945 while we rushed the evac-
uation Of our troops from China and
let Chang face, without any out
side support, the Moscow-sponsored
rivals from Yenan, the Russians
maneuvered skillfully and withdrew
from Manchuria only short time
before the Yenan troops were able
to take over. Chang still had some
good troops and sufficient ammuni-
ton to take possession Of Man
churia despite the Communist re-
sistance.
Since that time, however. his
military strength has weakened
tremendously because Of our refusal
OF necessary war materials, while
the Russians have greatly increased
their assistance to Mao TIE Tung's
forces, until today they are able to
capture-for the account Of the
q. 8. 8. R.-economically and stra-
logically important Manchuria. With
the fall of Mukden to the Commu-
nists, which is expected shortly,
they will have unchallengeable con-
troll over that province and China
may become another area Of civil
war and chaos which will greatly
benefit the Moscow war planners.
