mittee is finding such difficulty in
collecting the names Of two dis
tinguished live Democrats.
One feels sensitive about such
things in Philadelphia today, fer
never was city so pervaded by a
sense of political crisis. It is as hot
as it was when the Republicans were
here, but things we're going so well
with them that the sight of them
even at their hottest was not dis
tressing. One simply felt that, as
well as everything else, they were
having a magnificent action of the
pores. But the Democrats are OBJ
viously miserable, and are miserably
not too.
Funeral Air About.
There is a funeral air about the
convention hall and the hotel lob
bies, which is, of course, not a true
glimpse Of reality. Anybody who
went by the look of Philadelphia
today would think that the Demo-
cratic Party was dead.
Yet only the other day I met
Mayor O'Dwyer and I realize quite
well that a party with such men in
it must be very much alive. That

In this corner are the New York
leaders-F1ynn and Fitzpatrick

James Roosevelt of California and
the amateurs. Most of the amateurs
are idealists; the others think they
have got to have a labor-liberal
appeal to hold their States. They
want to raise such a banner for q

3. The irreconcilable Southerners.
They want a States rights plank
multiplying any civil-rights declara-
lions but apparently have no objec-
tons to Senator Barley and his
100 per cent New Deal record be-
cause he's a Southerner. Their aim
is to reassert a Southern veto over
the party; they know they can't
run 1t.
4. A lland-on faction which plans
to act agreeable but not to identity
itself with what 1t is certain will
be a November de3aele. These ~, wi u
concentrate on their own State
tickets, hew to the old Roose-
welt line. Their story is going to be

This Changing World
Churchill's Berlin Statement Hints
War Party Is in Control of Kremlin

be as tightly regimented under the
Soviet system as Is the Soviet itself.
They must be as firmly attached to
Soviet foreign policy as are the
White Russian and Ukrainian re-
publics. They must be, in short,
completely at Moscow's command.
For what purpose, it may be asked,
Is this extreme degree of control and
RECOMMENDATION necessary? II Russia
were looking forward to lasting
peace it would not be necessary, in
the interests only Of Russia's defense
and the success of the Communist
system, that every vestige Of indie
pendence be wiped from those coun-
tries which are affiliated with the
Soviet bloc.
Nor would it be necessary. either,
that Russia attempt to convert Com
munist control within the parlia-
mentary system-as in Czechoslo-
vakia and Finland-into absolute
control within an absolute Commu-
mist dictatorship.
New Directives.
It would not be necessary for the
Communist parties abroad to be
given new directives-like the Com
munist Sunday Worker published
last Sunday-bringing them into
complete conformance with the
Soviet Communist Party.
All of these things-the coup IN
Czechosloyakia. the attempt to place
Finland in the same position OF
puppet, the attempt to purge Tito
from Yugoslav control, the purge
and realignment of the foreign Com
munist parties-would not be neces-
sary unless Russia expected to re-
ouire absolute obedience and abso-
lutte support from her foreign friends
sometime in the not-too- distant
future.
This, then, leads back to the point
raised by Mr.. Churchill. that a
struggle is going on behind the
scenes in Moscow. 1t would appear
that the war party in the Kremlin
the faction which aims to pursue
Russia's expansionist program to its
conclusion as quickly as possible
has gained control. Any success for
this party and its policy of agrees
sion would be severe blow to what
ever moderate elements remain in
power in Moscow.
That is why Mr.. Churchill took
pains to make 1t clear that we must
stand firm in Berlin. refusing to sur
render to policies which are purely
intimidatory in character. II we
yield, we only prove the success Of
intimidation and can expect only
more of the same throughout the
future until. at long last, we get fed
up and take belated stand which
can only lead to war-as it did with
NaZi Germany.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1948-07-13

TO go OH IIldH
knowledge of the recent split be-
tween Premier Marshal Tito OF
Yugoslavia and the Communist In
formation Bureau. We know, OF
course, that kind Of purge of Com
munist leaders has been going on In
those countries whose Communist
parties have shown a tendency to
stray from the path of absolute sub
seryience to Moscow's aims and
ambitions.
What goes on in the foreign Com
munist parties may not necessarily
be directly related to the conflict OF
factions in the Kremlin. but If a
radical departure occurs in Russian
policy with respect to the SOVIET
satellites, it is fair to assume that
new line of action has been de-
cided on in Moscow. Possibly. as
Mr.. Churchill suggests, one OF the
contending factions in the Kremlin
has imposed its will on the others.
Change of Course.
The movement to whip the foreign
Communist parties into completely
subservient foreign service for the
Kremlin is somewhat Of a change, OF
course. for Moscow. Hitherto Mos
cow has been satisfied to permit the
foreign Communist regimes to pur-
sue the national interests Of their
particular countries as long as they
did not conflict with Russias major
interests. 1t was not necessary, un-
der this rather lenient policy, that
each of the satellites should go i'm
mediateiy as far along the path OF
communism as Russia has succeeded
in going only after a quarter OF a
century. AS long as the satellites
we're Communist in character Russia
felt she had friendly governments
on her frontiers.
Now, apparently, 1t is not enough
that the border states be simply
Communist in character. They must

mated should not be elected.
The nominee Of the convention
has been known for three years
1t could not be anybody else, The
party had to nominate the man al
ready in ONCE or repudiate the party
along with him. Every practicing
politician has known this, but many
of them have chosen to ignore what
they knew. Amateur idealists don't
understand it and insisted on the
privilege of humping their heads
against the inevitable. Specialists
within the party, the Southerners
who have always heretofore found
wavs of gaining their own ends re-
gardless of the general good, are not
entirely convinced that this year II
may be different.
All these came here prepared tc
fight to the last ditch or, at least, to
the next to last ditch. for what they
wanted and against what they
knew, or should have known, they
were going to get. All determined tc
achieve their own Illustration and
succeeding completely. Each day
recorded another battle lost, as the
struggle proceeded from the sublime
to the ridiculous.
Eisenhower Is Sublime.
Representing the sublime. there
was the localized figure OF Gen
Eisenhower, the man nobody knows
He was sublime in the sense that he
was above the battle and wanted nc
part of 1t. Representing the RI
diculous-well, for one example
there was Senator Pepper, the man
everybody knows. He became RI
diculous only when he stepped out
of character-a pretty good char
acter up to that portland an
nounced that he would sacrifice
himself for the party's welfare and
be the candidate.
That was where tho absurdity Of
the whole proceeding reached its
height-unless something still more
bizarre has occurred since these un-
happy lines were pounded out. II
outdid the strange gyrations OF
Jimmy Roosevelt and Leon Hen.

resounded from the Sunday eve

gates, that exultant cry for State
control of tide-land oil!

And over 1t broods the spirit OF

the things they have left undone.
Some of his advisers want the call
incorporated into his acceptance
speech.
They believe it is his best and
least expensive tactic.
The party has no money for in
tensive transforming and full-dress
speeches with radio time and the
White House is the best sounding
board in the world, especially with
the Congress in session. They look
on 1t as Mr.. Humans last, best
hope.
But party leaders believe, too, that
it will be his swan song. And the
one thing they are more certain OF
even than of his defeat Is that he
cannot lead the party thereafter.
Pattern for the Future.
Hence their efforts here to nix a
pattern for the future, each accord
ing to his own best interests. AS IN
the Congress the roll call is the
pay-off. Not until debate Is over
and the delegates have voted will the
story be clear.
Roughly four groups are maneu-
vering in the various smoke-fllled
rooms in which the destinies OF a
a great party are being decided.
They are:
/ |. The advocates Of recelvership.
/ Compromise as far as possible; Sc
! lect the Vice President who will
please all factions; retire the skele-
tons to the closet; sweat 1t out with
bland face and no harsh words.
Many Senators are in this group
plus moderate Southerners like Sen
ators Hill and Sparkman of Ala
bama. Their V-P candidate Is
Senator Barley; they are for q
civil-rights compromise the South
can accept.
When the election is over and It's
time to pick up the pieces, the Sena-
tors with a few House strong men
would be in charge under this dis
