On the Other Hand
Dewey Must Explain His Program
To People if He Expects Action

be expected TO ask for fast action.
1t will have to be Legislative action,
not administrative. Republican
congressional leaders repudiated his
1914 promises during the eightieth
regular session and did it again in
the extra session. right in the face
Of the election.
It seems obvious that Gov. Dewey
Is in for q battle with these leaders.
They can fight in more than one
way. They can stall legislation ia
definitely in committee. They can
enact 1t In unsatisfactory form.
They can hamstring 1t with insufn-
cient appropriations.
How will Gov. Dewey deal with
these unrepentant sinners? During
his campaign he hit upon Q phrase
that he liked and he repeated 1t
many times. He will lead from
strength, he said. So the question
is, what Is his strength?
No Love From Leaders.
1t Is not the affection of the Re-
publican leaders. They do not love
him. II they ever did love him. most
of them got over it at Philadelphia
when he took their measure one by
one without even mussing his
clothes. Take Speaker Martin.
There he was, prepared to cash In
on his personal popularity as soon
as the expected deadlock between
Messrs. Dewey, Taft and Stassen
made 1t necessary for the conven-
ton to turn to somebody else. The
Dewey forces dissolved the deadlock
and Speaker Martin wasn't even
mentioned. Not even for Vice
President. Or take Majority Leader
Halleck, who thought he was prom
ised the vice presidential nomina-
ton. His humiliation was really
painful. Take . lot Of the others,
who found themselves unimportant
in the convention. They are very
important in Congress.
What strength has Gov. Dewey
with them? Gratitude for having
brought them along on his coat
tails? Nothing Ievaporates 20 quickly
as gratitude. PATRONAGE That will
be useful, but some Of these rugged
individuahsts can get along without
1t, If they have to. r..
Public opinion? There Is Gov
Dewey's one best weapon. But to
obtain that support, Gov. Dewey
must forget his campaign tactics
He will have to start talking and
talking to the point. II he wants
unity with Congress-on his own
terms-he must first establish unity
with the people and that calls ior
much greater frankness on his part
than he has thus far exhibited.

ances and they are trying hard to
win new friends and influence the
right people. Secretary Of National
Defense Forrestal also has an active
lobby, with or without his consent
1t has been suggested that if Sen
ator Vandenberg should be secretary
of State, Mr.. Dulles might inherit
the U. N. post from ex-senator
Austin.
Gov. Dewey has said repeatedly
both in public and in private that
he would not keep any policymakers
who had been connected with the
Democratic Administr.ation.
Whether, when he actually faces
the tremendous mass Of detail
which confronts a President, he will
be- so eager to dispense with the ex-
perienced men now in charge is
a question.
The Dewey camp, for example,
has been critical of Gen. Lucius D.
Clay, American Military Governor Of
Germany, another who likes what
he Is doing and will not seek to
leave 1t Of his own volition. Yet
Gen. Clay will be difficult to are
place, especially in view of the
propaganda factors involved.
It begins to seem inevitable that
Gov. Dewey, II elected, must move
decisively on foreign policy and put
a firm hand on the State Depart
ment. President Truman feels that
he has been badly treated by the
department-that they peach" on
him. His feeling respecting 1t is
at least as critical as the depart
ment's is toward him, which is q
tall order.
Should President Truman con-
found the prophets and win, he
will assuredly order State De-
partment housecleaning. In the re-
naming interval, if he Is defeated
there is little chance of whole
hearted cooperation between the
White House and the department.

write of the Nationalist government
Of China and opposes the mainte-
nance Of an American force in
Tsingtao, for fear that we may en-
counter the same situation as exists
in Berlin.
Careful analysis shows, however,
that there Is no real similarity be-
tween the two situations as far as
their physical aspects are concerned.
II the Soviet or German Communist
forces decide to run us out Of Ber-
lin, there Is not much we can do
to save our military forces there.
The Navy feels that the situation

in either training or fighting spirit.
The Leathernecks can easily resist
a Chinese Red force five or even
10 times their own number.
II the Marines clash with the
Chinese Communists, the former
will be supported by planes from
the two carriers which are part
of Admiral Badgers task fleet. If
Gen. Mao Tse-tung, the Moscow
sponsored Chinese Communist lead
er, orders a very large force to at
tack Tsingtao and the situation be-
comes untenable for the Ameri-
cans, all United States nationals
-combatant as well as noncom-
batant-can be evacuated by the
ships of the force which are in the
harbor.
The reason President Truman
decided to overrule the objection
Of the State Department is that the

withdrawal Of the Americans, who
are in Tslngtao by agreement with
the Marking government, would
cause us irreparable loss Of face.
We have already lost great pres
tige in the Far East, because of our
policy Of not keeping President
Roosevelt's pledges to Generalissino
Chang Kai-shek that America
would supply SO Chinese army d.
visions and eight and a half air
groups with arms and ammunition.
Our failure in this respect was
known for the most part only to the
Nanking government and q number
of Chinese officials. The bulk Of
Chinese people did not know Of our
undertakings with Gen. Chang.
American withdrawal from Tsing-
tao under pressure from the Com
munists would be interpreted every
wherein the Far East as an Amer
ican defeat at the hand of Mos
cows stooges and would speed ma
terially the disintegration Of the
Nationalist government and the fall
of Gen. Chang.
11th Hour Efforts.
We are now engaged in 11th hour
efforts to save the GeneralisSimo,
although it is realized in Washing
ton official quarters that his position
has become most shaky.
Congress last summer appropri-
ated s125 ,000, 900 for aid to the Nam
king government in connection with
the European Recovery Program,
with the proviso that large portion
of that sum be spent in war ma
terials. 1t is only in the next two
weeks that the first shipment of war
materials will be rushed to China.
Red tape and Ill will on the part
Of American officials, who have the
task of carrying out, Congress
wishes, are chiefly responsible for
the delay. It was only after Presi-
dent Truman himself logged up the
responsible officials early in October
that one naval transport was as
signed to take the first consignment
Of small arms and ammunition to
Gen. Chiang's forces.
The reluctance Of the Army to de-
plete some Of It's meager stores for
the sake of belatedly helping Gen.
Chiang's crumbling armies is under
standable. Top Army officers fear
that what we can send now Is only
a drop in the bucket compared to
what Is needed and that eventually
the American equipment will find
its way into the hands of the Com
munists, either through surrender or
through sale by defeated generals
who want to feather their nests.

session In Paris, Gen. Marshall told
friends he would resign Immediately
after the election and recommend
to President Truman that Under
secretary Robert Lovett be promoted
to first place for as long as President
Truman had the appointive power.
Gen. Marshall commented that he
thought Mr.. Lovett would be happy
to remain in the department indefi-
nitely and expressed the hope that
this could be arranged. Since then,
however, Mr.. Lovett got into the
White House doghouse as result of
revealing, whether purposefully or
not, departmental dissatisfaction
with the manner in which Mr.. Tru-
man handled his latest Palestine
pronouncement.
Those who heard Gen. Marshall

Vandenberg q Possibility.
The chips are still on Dulles for
Dewey Secretary of State, though
Mr.. Dulles has told his New York
intimates that he has had no con-
f1rmation from Mr.. Dewey. There
is also feeling in some Washington
quarters that, should the Democrats
gain control of the Senate, strong
bloc will press for putting Senator
Vandenberg in State.
In a Democratic-controlled Senate,
Senator Vandenberg would merely
be ranking member of the Foreign
Relations Committee, sans chair
nlanship, sans the car and perquisites
he enjoyed for three years as pre-
siding officer Of the Senate in the
absence Of a Vice President, sans
everything but his eloquent tongue
and hts Senate desk, which once be-
longed to Henry Clay.

Despite Gov. Dewey's reputed dis

Further, If Gov. Dewey intends, as
his close advisers privately hint, to
surprise the country with certain
policies of the kind commonly called
New Deal, he will need the expert
assistance Of men and women
trained In that pattern.
So teamwork can be had in the
executive branch Of the Govern

than President Truman has. been

as the State Department. where the

leans to realize how hard 1t is for
the japanese to think and act for
themselves after so many years Of
being told exactly what to do every
minute Of their time.
Since the occupation Of our coun-
try We have learned that an igno-
rant, tattooed CT many q time can
make an educated Japanese feel
ashamed. This Is because the GI

The whole thing probably sounds
strange and not-understandable to
Americans and Europeans who have
endured countless numbers of storms
Tor many, many years. They under
went the Dark Ages, 1nquisition,
Renaissance, Reformation, Industrial
Revolution, etc. They stained their
hands and feet with tears and blood
when they laid the foundation Of
civilization, brick by brick.
In Japan where education means
information, We remember things
but we do not know things. We are
educated to be technicians, not only
in natural sciences but also in
spiritual sciences. We are clerks to

permeated through the masses Of

Our training, physical and spirit

horizontal.
Consequently, our Judgment, po-
uteness, etc., stop at the gate Of our

farther. And now that the per-
pendicular system Of our society has
been abolished, and the horizontal
system Of society yet to be estab-
lished. Is it q wonder that we are
confused and cropping?
Light Shines Through.
Yet the light shines through. The
fall Of our cabinet = few weeks ago
Is proof that democracy Is working
and that the Japanese Is learning to

and oppose his 'oppressors. Before the
occupation the japanese never con-
sidered what was done by higher
ups. Even II he knew his leaders
were crooked and exploiting him. he
did not dare speak up. Now the
press and people are not afraid to
do something when, they know
things are not going right.
II America will just be patient
with us, and realize how long We
have been in darkness, and how
hard it Is for us to realize that we
have been given . chance to speak

Americas friendship Is not in vain.

fighter of the year.

the fourth between Louis and
