guns over to the so-called ma
tionalist army of Chang kali
Shek to shoot down protesting
students and to make war on a
large part of the Chinese popu-
lation.
There are no Russian planes
in the Chinese skies dropping
Russian bombs on the villages
of China. I note with great
shame that American planes and
American bombs have mon
opoly on that.
Why do we do these things?
Why do we act this way?
Is it to build China into an
attack base for the war the Pen
tagOn boys are SO blitheIy plan
ming? Some of thest foreign
policy generals rely admit this.
/ say that our position in
China at the present time is
morally bankrupt, and indefen-
sible even from the standpoint
of practical power politics.
| believe it would pay divi-
dends in world friendship if we
helped China only through the
United Nations, guarding strict
ly against any appearance of in
tervention, and seeking only to
build up the living standards of
$50 million human beings as
contribution to peace and world
trade.
If we placed our Far Eastern
policy on this basis throughout
Asia, it is my most earnest belief
that it would pay off richly and
that the rest of the world would
bless us rather than come to hate
us.

the last gasp of American lib
eral foreign policy.
After that failure came the
complete reversal of the ROOse-
welt policies and the taking over
of the key administrative and
many elective posts by the rep
resentatives of the major Amer
lean corporations and their sat
elites.
After that came the biparti-
san foreign and domestic policy.
Then came the Truman Doc
trine-the deliberate and care
fully planned buildup of Russia
and communism as a gigantic
red herring to divert attention
from the plan to re-establish the
lushly profitable war economy
at the expense of the nation
safety and the peace time needs
of the people.
Today the rule of Chang kia-
Shek is recognized almost uni
versally as corrupt and failing
dictatorship already repudiat-
ed by more than half the Chin
csc people.
China's economy ia lis into
deeper chaos. The rest of the
people in China will repudiate
this Kuomintang dictatorship as
soon as the chance comes.
Yet we support this kind of
leadership with our power and
our tax money. In the last two
years we have poured more than
four billion American dollars
into this bOttOmIess pit.
And we are turning surplus

While we're on the subject of
liberals "a fascinating SUBJ
ject, if you like double talk
here are few random notes:

front, issued a pamphlet attack
ing Henry Wallace and his Pro-
gressive Party. The first public
figure to make use of its pamph-
let was Rep. Karl Mundt (R.,
SD, who got the Nazi salute at
America First rallies before the
war and now is one of the au-
thOrs of the Mundt- Nixon police
state bill.
Adlai Stevenson, Democratic
candidate for governor, claims to
be liberal" too. But the mas
termind of his campaign is Louis
Ruppel, former editor of the ul-
tra-reactionary Chicago Herald
American, published by Hearst.

was passed by a 1920 vote.
Blythe way, it's interesting to
note that the DiXiecrat strategy
against this bill, in which Tru-
man joined, was mapped out by
an expert parliamentarian from
the House of Representatives,
one John Rankin from Missis-
sippi.
Truman's whole voting record
as senator merits closer in
vestigation than it has received
up to now.
This week we spent just few
minutes checking over Truman S
votes in the Senate in 1912.
Mind you, these were his votes
for only one year. Here is what
we found:
Truman voted against permit
ting servicemen to cast absentee
ballots in elections. All liberals
supported the GTs right to vote.
Truman voted against increas-
ing CT base pay for privates to
$50 a month. While GIs were
dying for their country, he want
ed to economic" by paying
them only S42 month.
Truman voted against a pro-
posal to increase corporation

won under the leadership of
President Roosevelt. We shall
continue to squand? r. our pres
tige in the Far East as long as
we continue to supply munitions
and planes to block the demo-
cratic aspirations of the Chinese
people.
Immediately after the war we
did try to get the Chinese people
together in a unified stable gov
eminent that would hold out
some hope to them of eventual
justice and freedom. Special En-
voy General Marshall was a
good friend of General Stilwell,
who / believe had the right slant
on China, and l believe General

this mission was sincere.
