Democratic Action, lesser luminaries
and the inevitable amateurs hover
on the fringes. Southern co-opera-
ton is assumed.
Emissaries to Gen. Eisenhower
and his Columbia University spon-
sor, Thomas J. Watson, the Inter-
national Business Machines tycoon,
are cautiously at work. So far their
reports are pessimistic but not a
death knell.
No Really Means No.
This Is not to say that Gen.
Eisenhower does not feel he is out
of it. But until he does a Gen.
Sherman-"If nominated. will not
accept and If elected I will not
serve some Democrats won't give
1t is very hard to convince poll
ticos that no means no: after all,
they have so often found out diff
ferent. Gov. Warren said one
thousand times he wouldn't be Vice
President. He didn't want to be
either-but now he's in there pitch
ing.
The dissident Democrats are
chewing on some hard ones. Will
Gen. Eisenhower accept a draft? If
not, is there any one of stature,
Supreme Court Justice Douglas, for
example, who will? Is it worthwhile
to struggle against Messrs. Dewey,
Warren and an internationalist Re-
publican platform?
When ADA Chairman Hender-
son learned that the attractive,
progressive Gov. Warren had agreed
to run with Gov. Dewey, he yelled:
Its a dirty Republican trick"
There is a considerable sentiment
that at least it was a move which
cut the ground from under the
draft Eisenhower movement.
Since Sunday, evening, however,
something new has been added to
the tumble. The news about the
pro-Eisenhower demonstration at
the Wisconsin Democratic Conven-
ton is not that it occurred; it is
that it was a spontaneous outburst
from the rank and file which took
the leadership by surprise.

It lacks adequate explanation.
To ordinary citizens it appears as
if officials in certain Government
departments live in another world,
ignoring the facts of life. The
equipment involved in the Polish
transaction is being paid for out OF
loan granted by the American
Government last year through the
Export Import Bank. Obviously it
goes to increase the war potential
of one of Russia's principal satel-
lites.
Official Explanation.
The official explanation given by
the Commerce Department is that
the s12,OO0000 worth of equipment
will permit Poland to export more
coal, and thus assist the recovery Of
the 16 nations which are benefiting
from the European Recovery Pro-
gram.
This is a fallacy. The Soviet gov
ernment and its satellites are the
bitter foes of the Marshall Plan, and
are doing their utmost to wreck it.
They openly announced this policy
last year, and the actions of their
agents in Western Europe prove
that Moscow Is not pretending.
A momentous political conference
of the Soviet satellites under the
leadership of Foreign Minister
Molotov ended last week in Warsaw
Within "a hours the Commerce De-
partnent had issued the export Ii
cense, although the American Gov
ernment knew that the Warsaw con-
ferees had announced their decision
to use all means at their disposal
to unity Germany under the control
Of the Soviet Union. This may
mean pressing the Western Allies sby
such methods as are now employed
in Berlin-or worse.

Department and most of the respon-
Sible officers in the defense depart

On the Other Hand
Campaign on Domestic Issues
Less Likely to Bring On War

some time after January 20 when
the Eighty-f1rst Congress convenes.
At best it will take six months to
reach the legislative situation in the
new Congress that now obtains in
the Eightieth. 1t required 18 months
to achieve the present situation.
This would mean that failure to act
now would defer any action for at
least a full year.
A decent housing bill can still be
enacted this summer. The educa-
ton bill, for which the need has
become truly desperate, can be en-
acted, and so can health bill, q
social security extension bill and the
long g-postponed civil rights bills.
Virtually all of these are promised
in guarded language by the new Re-
publican platform and it Is certain
that Gov. Dewey will champion them
in his campaign speeches. Then
there is the minimum wage bill and
the oleomargarine tax repeal, con-
cerning which the platform is silent
but concerning which the candidate
may wish to be vocal.
New World Crisis Possible.
This business could be cleaned up
now, but there Is no knowing how
long it may be delayed in new
Congress. The winter may bring on
a new international crisis to furnish
a continuing excuse for inaction.
There is another important con-
sideration. The proposed special ses-
sion would make these domestic is
sues the basis of the campaign, while
at the same time disposing Of them.
Otherwise the campaign is bound to
be fought out over international
issues. And that is likely to mean
nothing better than unrestrained
competition between the contending
parties to see which can be the
fightingest in its attitude toward
Russia. There being virtually no
difference between the parties in re-
spect to their real policy, We will
have to endure a contest Of abusive
language.
This will not produce a healthy
international atmosphere, not one
calculated to promote the working
out of our differences with Russia
by some means short Of war.

"a Nightmare Recalled
Anti. Truman Democrats Gather
In New York for Exchange of Views

National Committeeman Robert
E. Tehan who runs the party in
Wisconsin is New Deal Democrat.
He held out for Henry Wallace for
Vice President in 1914 but was the
first Democratic leader in 1916 to
Irepudiate Communists by name-he
discovered that an already nomin-
ated candidate for Congress on his
ticket was Communist and blunt
ly urged Democrats not to. vote for
him. They didn't and the Com
munist lost.

Mr.. Tehan Keeps in close touch
with Illinois leaders and was one
of the few politicos Mayor Ken.
nelly invited to his select Chicago
dinner for President Truman on the
Presidents recent tour.
Presumably Mr.. Tehan would not
bust out crying If Mr.. Truman were
not the candidate in 1948. But he
has said nothing publicly and has
steered the State Convention into
Endorsements of the Roosevelt and
Truman administrations.
He was quietly waiting in the
background for his charges to- de-
eide to go home when the motion
to attempt an Eisenhower draft was
made from the floor and all hell
broke loose. The chairman, lacking
any briefing on such matters, ac-
knoWledged nonexistent motion to
adjourn and escape.
1t constitutes a rather clear re-
minder to the managers OF the Ma
tional Convention that the best-Iaid
plans Of mice and Presidents are
subject to delegate fevers not al
ways easily controlled. The Demo-
Gratis are peculiarly frustrated and
emotional these days and they are,
after all, the party that made Madi-
son Square Garden a nightmare
for three weeks in 1924.

DOUBLE DANGER

Alerting the American people
to the menace of Communism is
a necessary service today, This is
so even though Moscow is making
il easy. Events in Czechoslovakia
have once more sounded the
tocsin. Yet it is good to have the
warning UNDERSIGNED by the re-
signations of the Czech ENJOYS to
half a dozen countries and by the
charge of Jan Papanck, Czech
delegate to the United Nations,
that Russia has 70 b b e d his
country of it's independence. It is
refreshing to hear Secretary Mar
shall bluntly describe the situa-
ton in Prague as a reign of
terror"
But we are very grateful that
the Secretary at the same time
FASTENED to warn Americans
about another less obvious danger
at home-the danger that passion
will rule out reason, that hysteria
will displace alertness. When
questioned about his remark that
the situation was very very SER
ious," Mr.. Marshall said he re-
ferred not only to events abroad
but to rising passions at home.
The Secretary of State knows
how recklessly some Americans
are calling for war.
There is good reason to be
aroused over event S abroad.
Every instinct of humanity re-
volts against the spread of op-
preston a n d the torturing of
mems minds and bodies. Every
instinct of self-preservation rises
to build defenses against the
sweep of totalitarian power and
propaganda.
But if the revolt is to be effec-
tive in checking oppression, it
must be wisely organized. If the
defenses are to stand firm they
must be calmly constructed. Mere
emotional reactions will not do
what is needed today. Explosive
words may only let off t e a m
which should be husbanded to
drive through long-range pro-
jects. Alertness will prepare for
useful action; hysteria will pro-
duce confusion and vacillation,
tending to paralyze the capacity
for united, firm action.
For instance, early approval of
ERP would be one effective step
toward helping Europe protect
itself against Communism. Con-
gressmen who try to cut down
ERP or delay it's approval with
time-consuming b u t futile de-
nunciations of Russia are not TAX
ing the most effective course.

July Holiday
Features Glaciers
Of Glacier Park

Montana's glaciers are featured
in an article in the July issue of
Holiday magazine.
Entitled The Cold World"
h e article is written by James
L. Dyson, and tells of Americas
outstanding glaciers. Among TIE
illustrations are two photographs
of the ice cave in Boulder Glacier,
and t h e region near Blackfeet,
the largest i C sheet in Glacier
National Park.
"One of the most unusual of all
U. S. glaciers is the Grasshopper
Glacier near G. Ike, Montana,
just n or t h of Yellowstone Ma
tional Park" t h article says.
Embedded in it are large num-
bers of grasshoppers which ap-
parently fell onto the glacier at
various times during the past two
centuries. These insects are now
being exposed by the melting ice
at the glaciers's terminus.
Glacier National Park in the
northwest part of Montana bears
the distinction of having within
its boundaries more glaciers
(nearly a hundred) tn a n any
other area of like size in the
Rockies.
Grinnell Glacier is probably
visited by more people than any
of the others, the article notes.
The trail leads to very edge of
the glacier and tourists can ex-
anime the moraine, walk out onto
the ice, or look down int to the
colorful crevasses.
Holiday advises vacationers and
tourists to wait until mid-July to
go looking at glaciers, s i II c e
most of them are covered with
snow until then.
