is nothing but mounting tension and grim
animosity. Cooperation, good neighborli-
ness, collective security-these are all
absent from the Kremlin's policy toward
the Europeans.
Though far from perfect, the inter-
American system stands out in shining
contrast. 1t demonstrates what men and
governments can do when they are really
anxious to have cooperation and peace
among themselves. Nor is there any reason
apart from perversity-why 1t should be
confined to the New World. President
Truman has raised sound hope at Bolivar
in asserting that slowly but surely, despite
present discouragements, the spirit be-
hind 1t can be made to animate inter-
national relations everywhere. Soviet
policies Notwithstanding, the United Ma
tions, given the will for 1t, can find the
way to 1t.

The General Bows Out

Those Democrats who scrambled ABOARD
the Eisenhower bandwagon without walt
ing for the General are now between the
devil and the deep blue sea. But they nave
no one to blame but themselves, and 1t Is
about time that they made up their mlnds
to take their medicine.
General Eisenhowers second statement
of his unwilingness to accept any nomi-
nation at this time is couched IN plain
language. Yet some of the Democrats
men like James Roosevelt, Boss Hague, Ed
Kelly and Senator Johnston-are going on
with their efforts to draft him as their
presidential candidate. Apparently they
cannot bring themselves to believe the
General is man of integrity who means
what he says.
For most people, however. this latest
announcement is clear enough and
definite enough General Eisenhower Is
not going to let the panicky politicians
trade on his good name and his prestige
to further their own ends. They had no
right to assume that he would connive at
a draft when he had said that he was not
available for the nomination. If they now
find themselves in the uncomfortable
position of having jumped from the frying
pan into the fire, that Is their fault not
his. General Eisenhower has done no more
than to keep faith with his January state
ment, and every one whose sense OF moral
ity is not hopelessly warped by selfish
political considerations will be glad OF 1t.
The best thing that the dissident Demo-
Gratis could do would be to abandon any
effort to force the nomination on General
Eisenhower For they ought to realize that,
In addition to discrediting themselves, they
are running whatever chance the Demo-
Gratis may have of winning the election.
Perhaps President Truman cannot be
elected in November His candidacy may
that the Democratic bosses predict. But
at least he Is rising head and shoulders
above those who would desert the ship
Mr. Truman believes, and he Is entirely
right, that the Democrats must stand or
fall on the record that he and the party
have made. And he is prepared to see
the fight through on that basis.
This is an example which his jittery
associates within the party would do we'll
to emulate. After all, they cannot expect
to win every election and they ought to
realize that there may be some things that
are worse for a political party than the
loss of an election. If they do not come
to their senses they are apt to convince
the people, not only that the Democratic
party cannot win this year, but that it will
never deserve to win as long as they occupy
key spots in the party organization.
