mentous import, national and inter-
national, temporal and spiritual.
while it seems unnecessary for
me to repeat that I do not actively
seek or covet any Office and have no
plans for leaving my post in Japan,
I can say, and with due humility
that I would be recreant to all my
concepts Of good citizenship were
to shrink because Of the hazards and
responsibilities involved from ac-
cepting any public duty to which I
might be called by the American
people"
The move served blunt notice on
both Gov. Dewey and Mr.. Stassen--
the two contenders in today's New
Hampshire balloting-that a victory
for Gen. Macarthur in Wisconsin's
three-way race next month would
be followed by widespread efforts in
his behalf elsewhere.
Taft Believed Affected Most.
Most politicians looked for Gen.
MacArthur's entry in the race to
affect Senator Taft most directly
Many of the latter's hackers have
had good word to say for the gen.
eral.
Gen. MacArthur's own hackers
were overjoyed. Warren Wright, ma :
tional head of the Macarthur for
America Club, said: THE Nation
has been praying for the generals
acceptance and now our prayers
have been answered"
In their drive to win the nomi-
nation for Gen. Macarthur, how
ever, his friends will have to coun-
ter the sentiments expressed by
Gen. Eisenhower when the former
Army Chief of Staff-and as such
Gen. MacArthur's boss-knocked
his own name out of the race.
In that statement on January 23,
Gen. Eisenhower said nothing in
the international or domestic stu
alton especially qualities for the
most important Office in the world
man whose adult years have been
spent in the country's military
forces"
Two weeks later Gen. Eisenhower
took occasion to say he resented"
implications that he had Gen. Mac
Arthur in mind.
Return to U. s. Sought.
On Capitol Hill, Representative
Miller, Republican, Of Nebraska,
MacArthur's long time friend, said
he would renew his efforts to have
the general make a personal ap-
pearance in this country. He said
ne had definite information" the
general would come to Washington
if asked to testify on matters deal
ing with Japan.
Mr.. Miller was unsuccessful in
earlier attempts to persuade Gen.
Macarthur to testify in person on
aid to China. In a statement sent
from Tokyo las week, however, the
general split sharply with the ad-
in calling for military
as well as economic aid to coun-
tries resisting communism.
The Nebraskan termed Gen. Mac
Arthur "the one man who can be
and certainly elected
on the Republican ticket"
Eaton Praises Macarthur.
Otherwise congressional comment
on Gen. MacArthurs move was
mixed.
Chairman Eaton OF the House
Foreign Affairs Committee declared,

think we could do better"
The Truman announcement wa.
made without fanfare, and poll.
tieians agreed generally that now
that he has spoken, the nomination
cannot be denied him.
In the lobby outside Mr.. Truman's
office, Chairman McGrath told re-
porters:
THE President has authorized me
to say that If he is nominated BY
the National Democratic Conven.
ton, he will accept and run"
Asked whether Mr.. Truman's an.
nouncement at this time was the
result of ''rumors that some of the
big city bosses want to dump the
President" Senator McGrath re.
piled:
I'm glad as national chairman
that this statement puts at rest all
these rumors."
Civil Rights Stand UNCHANGED.
There was nothing in the Presi-
dents declaration to give the South
erners any comfort on the civil
rights issue.
AS he emerged from Mr.. Truman's
Office with Gael Sullivan, the Dem
ocratic Committees executive direc-
tor, Senator McGrath said on this
point:
The Presidents position is un-
changed since he delivered his mes
sage to Congress and I might say
that in my view his position, as ex-
pressed in the message, is as old
as the Constitution itself and as
new as the 1914 Democratic plat
form"
The chairman already has offered
to return to the 1914 civil rights
platform plank. 1t merely pledged
the party in general way to work
for equal rights for all.
But Southerners have said that
isn't enough. Their contention is
that, no matter what the party
says, Mr.. Truman will be running
on his own civil rights platform.
Palestine Problem.
Senator McGrath also took notice
Of the criticism that has been direct
ed against the Administrations
of the Palestine problem.
Warren r. Austin, American rep
resentative, told the United Nations
Security Council last month it must
act to restore peace in the Holy
Land but that the Council has no
power to enforce political set
tlement"-the partitioning of Pal
estine. The President Endorsed this
view.
I'VE asked the President to ex-
plain the present status of the Pal
estine situation and he did," Sena-
tor McGrath said. The President
will continue to handle the problem

on politics" The chairman added:

Senator Mc0rath said he had

tion to run lin response to numer-

Impulse to Zion

Arnold TOynbee, British his
tOrian, types the Jews as a fos-
SLICED remnant Of an extinct
civilization.
He meant that because of their
single-minded, faultless devotion
to the religion of Moses and their
strict adherence to ancestral
customs, the Jews, descending
through history as compact
group, have retained most of the
original characteristics VIII C h
marked them when first they
emerged as part of the Syriac
civilization thousands of years
before Christ.
They are recognized today as
being in but not of the societies
in which they appear on every
portion of the globe. They al
most invariably form q minority
group, and as such they have
been targets for endless persecu-
ton.
Socially, world Jewry has been
of two minds concerning the
most desirable end 1t could
achieve for itself. Those two
conflicting trains of thought are
represented by the "zionists"
and the "dispersionists."
The dispersionists have advo-
Gated that Jews should mingle
freely with whatever people they
have chosen to live among and
gradually be assimilated by that
people. Zionists, of course, favor
establishment of a national
homeland an indestructibIe
ideal ever since Moses led the
exodus to Canaan.
Since the war, with Nazi at
tempts to obliterate German
Jews completely and subsequent
displacement of millions of Eu-
ropean Jews, zionism has been
given q tremendous impetus.
That impulse to Zion has been
distilled into what the world has
come to know as the ''Palestine
problem. More recently it
crystallized even further In the
actual establishment Of a Jewish
state - called Israel - in Pales-
tine, ancient homeland of the
pre- Christian era Jews.

FARM PLAN:
Trunras's

To shore up his sinking political
prestige in his campaign for re-
nomination, President Truman pro-
posed to congress a four-point farm
program which he claimed is ''es-
sential" to productive, prosperous
agriculture in the U. S.
Burden Of his message were these
recommendations:
4 A permanent system Of 'nexi-
- BILE price supports for agricul-
tural commodities.
. Full support to the continu-
%o ance and expansion of our pro-
gram of soil conservation"
. Legislation by congre to
-. continue and strengthen pro-
grams to assure adequate consump-
ton Of agricultural products. %
a 1--WE need to consider other
r means for assisting farmers to
meet their special problems. For
CAoAAAHA@S We AAAOoL oOPPOAC c1AAO PAO-
tect farm cooperatives. We must
continue to work toward sound
system of crop insurance"
There was nothing very startling
about the proposals, and they car
~ried the unmistakab1e ring of a
campaign year bid for the farmers
favorable attention.
As matter Of fact, congress al
ready was at work on farm legis-
lation. Senate agricultural COM
mittee had approved price sup
port bill which, in general, follows
agriculture department recon-
mendations for permanent price
support legislation on a sliding
scale instead Of the present inflexi-
BILE program. uC
Two house bills, still in commit
tee, would extend present price
support legislation for another IS
months.

WINDFALL:
Propaganda

In Ambassador Walter Bedell
Smiths formal and completely rou-
tine statement to Soviet Foreign
Minister v. M. Molotov, the Rus
slams thought they had a propa-
ganda bonanza.
It was cleverly done. Smiths
otherwise tough statement, which
simply repeated the basic U. S.
foreign policy with regard to Rus
STA, contained one sentence that
Moscow took as a 1oophole: GAS far
as the United States is concerned,
the door is always wide open for
full discussion and the composing of
our differences"
Molotov seized upon that sentence
and the announcement was broad
cast to the world that Russia ac-
cepted the American "offer" to ne
gotiate.
It looked like a propaganda vic
tory of major proportions for the
Soviets. Briefly, it put them in the
position Of being able to point with
pride to their manifest willingness
to settle the bitter differences which
have kept the world unnerved for
so long.
If the U. S. refused to talk, that
would be fine with the Russians
who would capitalize on that fact
with a vengeance. II q peace con-
ference did develop as result of
thee original trick, the old and IA
miliar Soviet obstructionist tactics
would be brought into play to do
the usual job Of sabotage.
That was about the way it
stacked up to the high officials in
Washington. Both President Tru-
man and Secretary of State George
Marshall made It clear that there

ATOM RACE:
official

Governments of the world never
have been farther from outlawins
the use OF atomic weapons. In fact
the atomic armament race is just
settling down to a long, straight
away dash.
1t is contest involving astron
omical costs, with horrible disaster
if not ultimate destruction possibly
lurking just beyond the horizon.
So far the U. S. is well in the
lead, as indicated by the recent
announcement of the development
and successful testing of three new
atomic weapons which are said to
supersede the original atom bombs
in destructive power.
The United Nations atomic ener.

tons.
simultaneously with the collapse
of U. N. discussions the United
States issued it's announcement Of
the three new weapons.
Other developments followed
swiftly to prove that the u. S. is
deadly serious about developing a
powerful and diversified atomic
arsenal:
David E. Lilienthal, chairman Of
the atomic energy commission, re-
ported that the present stage Of
the commissions tests of atomic
weapons is concluded"
President Truman then author
lied the commission to take
"steps at once for further de-
velopment based on information
gained from the tests"
What Russia was doing about
atomic weapons remained pretty
much of a mystery, at least as far
as the American public was con-
cerned. 1t was an accepted fact
that the Russians knew how to
make an atom bomb. Whether they
had the Industrial facilities to do so
still remained a matter Of consid-
cradle conjecture.

JERUSALEM
-. Jew or Arab? 80.

Independent republic in Palestine
which was to be called Israel.
Before Israel was 20 minutes old
1t had received formal diplomatic
recognition from the United States,
first nation to extend such recogni-
ton.
And while Israel was yet only
hours old it was already at war.
The newborn state was invaded
from the north by regular army
forces of Lebanon and Syria and
from the south by Egyptian troops.
It was shelled from the east by
Trans-Jordan's Arab Legion and
bombed and machine gunned from
the air by Arab planes.
Haganah, the principal Jewish
fighting force, rushed troops, sea-
soned by months of guerrilla war
fare, to all fronts and the fighting
settled down to the pattern with
which every adult in the world has
become familiar.

Most rnomentous news connected
with establishment Of Israel was
the agonizingly prompt U. S. diplo-
matte recognition of the state.
On the face of it, that act seemed
to hit zenith Of irony in U. S. for
eign relations. Principal proponent
of United Nations partition Of Pales-
tine, the United States had aban-
doned that position at the eleventh
hour, thus permitting the plan for
legal partition to disintegrate en-

on their own initiative had said,
in effect: palestine is partitioned.
Here is Israel. Take it or leave ii, p"
the U, S., with almost indecent
haste, leaped to take it. This was
interpreted generally as another
move to beat Russia to the diplo-
matte punch. President Truman
probably would not be dissatisfied,
either, if the act tended to mollify
Jewish voters in the U. S. with
whom he had been out Of favor
since he had about-faced on the
u. N. partition scheme.
AS the infant nation Of Israel
rounded out the first week of its
existence, U. S. administration
leaders were stroking their chins
over the question of whether to lift
the embargo against arms ship
ments to the Middle East.
That very fact made the Palestine
fight look more like a genuine wal
