men in industrial and big city dis
tricts, this is not q minor allure
ment.
The pitch has to be extracted
from the dialectics Of G. B. Bald
win, Wallace campaign manager,
but it Is plain when the background
is understood.
Time was when Mr.. Wallace
thundered his curse on all who
voted for the European Recovery
Program. ERP was approved over
whelmingly and is IN the works
If the Wallace curse stood, the
offending Congressman who have
yet to cast their votes on the new
hated measures would have no rea-
son to try to placate the third party.
Wriggle OFF Hook.
Hence Mr.. Ba1dwins efforts at
the State chairman conclave last
week end to wriggle off the hook.
He decreed that the party would
not Judge Congressman by single
vote (ERP) but by their attitudes
on such issues as peace (synony-
nous in the Wallace lexicon with
draft and UNIT, the United Ma
tions and civil rights for all resid-
ing within our borders.
Mr.. Baldwin continued in the in
volved jargon Of the Left that 1t
might not be feasible to get direct
statements but the party must rec
ognize tactical situations. You must
expect these conditions to be ex-
pressed, not necessarily to us, he
said, but implicitly in the record
and in other commitments. And so
on.
This particular third-party Skin
mishing is being done at the local
level, away from the Washington
spotlight. It's temptations are obvi-
Gus to the harried Congressman,
mostly Democrats, who already face
one competitor this fall. Many OF
them say frankly that they have to
make what deals they can with the
third party, especially with the name
of Mr.. Truman at the top OF their
ticket.
The third party has its troubles,
too, in congressional campaigns

which were important business al
the weekend conference. They are
keenly aware that they got very
bad press on the Illinois meeting in
January when it was so obvious
that their tactics would ruin the
excellent Democratic slate of Adlai
Stevenson and Prof. Paul Douglas
Test Was Clear.
But Mr.. Stevenson and Prof
Douglas are be-firm- with Russia
advocates and the Communist
fellow traveller element was ada
mant. As Mr.. Stevenson and Prof
Douglas are proved liberals in every
other respect, the Russian test was
clear.
|. Now the third party is swinging
along on the peace" issue with sim
cere churchgoers, and well-meaning
people lining up behind them in
such numbers that Mr.. Wallace
thinks ten million is low estimate
of the vote he'll get. An example
A presidential poll OF Methodist
ministers here from 38 States gave
Mr.. Wallace second place with 18,
Harold Stassen first with 43. Pres
ident Truman got 5.
The Wallace brain trusters don't
want these good people to be con-
fronted with any more examples of
how you've got to love Russia If you
want third-party support. 1t ap-
pears that they would prefer to put
a few splendid examples Of broad
liberalism in their showcase.
Provided, Of course, that they

Fumbling Half.Measures in Germany
Will Never Save European Civilization

Of the Ruhr, and the creation OF a
common Pan-European economy
and defense system. 1t would end
the state of limbo in which West
ern Germany Is suspended, inte-
CRATE the bulk of the German popu-
lation firmly into Western Europe,
and polariZe the German mind
westward as no appeal to German
restorationism can do.
Fumbling Half measures.
For the past five years this COL
umn has been reiterating that there
Is no German question, but only a
European question. The issue is not
Germany-with-Russia or Germany
with-America, but Germany with
the Russian system, or Germany
with a West European system. The
danger lies in the fact that there is
a Russian system that wants Ger
many and appeals to nationalism
while there is no European system
that invites her or appeals to the
German European spirit.
There can be only one outcome
Of continuance of that situation.
Since weakness gravitates to power
and disorganization to organization
Germany eventually will go to the
Russian system. Then we shall have
a German Red army on the Rhine
and Europe will be finished.
: To the audacity of the Russians,
we, and Western Europe, have re-
piled only with fumbling half-meas-
ures. No half-measures, however,
will save Europe and European
civilization, but only equal audacity
and hard, cool logic.

two reasons. In the first place
they suffered invasion by the Rus
sian armies only three years age
and have come to know the ruth
lessness of the Soviet soldier. In
the second place they receive news
from their fellow countrymen in
the Russian area of Berlin that
Soviet forces are being gathered In
large numbers to force the western
Allies first out of Berlin and then
out of all Germany.
These grapevine reports impress
the Germans. They see that the
American, British and French forces
In Berlin would not be able tt
resist a determined Russian attack
for more than a few hours If that
long.
Fail to End Fears.
Reassuring statements from the
Allied commanders, that Washing
ton, London and Paris are deter
mined to resist Russian pressure
make little impression on the Ger
mans. While western military men
and civilians still believe that the
Russians are bluff1ng, and seem
convinced that Moscow will not
dare fire the first shot of World
War III, the Germans wonder
what there is to stop them from
doing So Certainly not the handful
of American, British and French
soldiers with their few tanks and
armored cars.
The American Army Day parade

So the Russians can lock us up in
Berlin. There never has been any
hard and fast contractual agree
ment regarding right of way. How
any military minds could fail, from
the beginning, to establish secure
lines of communication battles the
imagination. The fact must always
have been clear-namely that under
the circumstances we permitted to
occur we always have been in Berlin
on the sufferance of the Russians
An explanation of such negligence
is needed, but none Is forthcoming
When our armies were in Europe
in full strength, we decided to
trust" the Russians-though every
wartime attempt at liaison already
had revealed that to be a danger.
Now, when our armies in Europe are
negligible, we decide to stand firm. u

We also are about to set up q
German government in Frankfort
to compete with Russian govern
ment in Leipzig, in promising the
restoration OF unified German
Reich. 1t is, however, impossible for
us to fulfill that promise without
war. A unified German Reich means
the restoration of the lost provinces
in the east. Having ourselves col
laborated, on Russian insistence. to
disintegrate the Reich, we now
promise to restore what the Rus
slams hold-and at the risk Of alien
ating Germany's western neighbors
who do not want the restoration OF

with this program, to appeal to Ger

nothing to offer it but verbal prom

Furthermore, we have no guaran-

Yet we are not helpless. We SIM
ply are following the wrong policy
Our policy should be to persuade
the Germans to sacrifice the unity
Of the Reich to the unity Of Eu-

they believe, too, that the Russians
will be defeated in the end II they
start a war against the west. But
meanwhile the Germans who re-
main in the western occupation
zones will take the brunt Of the
Russian onslaught and will suffer
the consequences Of their loyalty to
the western Allied occupation forces.
When the representatives Of the
western powers tell them that Rus
sia would not dare" they reply
that this may be true, but they
contend that, while the Allied ma
tionals may be evacuated, no one
will have time to take care OF the
hundreds of thousands Of Germans
who. inevitably, will be victimized
by the Asiatics who comprise the
bulk of the Soviet Army in Berlin
and the neighborhood.
The Germans are equally afraid
of the troops of Field Marshal Won
Paulus' German Army Of Liberation,
which are reported to have been
moved into the state of Branden-
burg recently. These troops, made
up mostly of former SIS men with a
sprinkling Of Gestapo agents, will
try to earn the good will OF their
new Moscow masters and will be-
have as ruthlessly as the Russians
or worse.
High Command Uneasy.

command in Berlin is uneasy. The
commanding officers are fully aware
that we have neither in Berlin nor
in Western Germany sufficient
forces to meet the Russian menace.
However, their optimism, which
causes them to keep in Berlin not
only their civilian nationals, but
also the families Of officials, is predi-
Gated on the belief that Moscow
must be aware that any direct act
of war involving the loss of the
Berlin token force will mean severe
reprisals, perhaps an atomic bomb
attack on the U. S. S. r. itself.
The official Interpretation Of the
fear which has gripped the German
population is that it forms part
of the Russian war Of nerves in that
area. The rumors of an impending
Red attack on the Allies are being
spread, according to our officials, by
the grapevine which the Soviet au-
thorities skillfully organized in their
zone of Berlin.
Nevertheless, the Germans, who
are influenced by what they see, are
in a state of confusion and are at
tempting to leave what, in their
opinion, may soon become another
