sponsored last year by the American
Government.
Those who saw a joker in this first
move toward collaboration in the
U. N. were described as troublemak-
ers and inveterate cynics. Many
clear-seeing military observers said
Russia-which possesses the most
powerful military machine, nu-
merically, in the world today-was
merely trying to use the partition
project to obtain a foothold on the
Suez Canal. These statements were
decried as jingoistic and unrealistic

| Yet, one wonders at the naivete in
making this so obvious, in a perm
anently recorded work. One also
wonders how a publishers editors
could sponsor the printing OF prop
aganda so recklessly careless Of
ordinary facts. For though every
one has right to his opinion, no
one has right to falsify history,
which this book does repeatedly.
The chapter, Russia, Communism
and Peace" is history of, and an
apology for. the Bolshevist revolu-
ton.
I counted IL historical falsehoods
in this one chapter. beginning with
the remarkable statement that
communism was born at a
meeting of socialists in 1898 in
MinSk" At that time the Commu-
mist Manifesto of Marx and Engels
was so years old, and Communists
had participated in the National
European Revolutions of 1880 and
1848.
LicCtlOH TO1nt ncIuIc0.
Then we learn there were no
popular elections in Russia and
therefore Lenin preached extreme
methods" But there was a popular
election in Russia following the
overthrow Of the czar-the first and
last-which elected delegates to a
constituent assembly from all the
anti-czarist revolutionary parties. In
that election the Bolshevists (who
had just overthrown the provisional
government by force) got per cent
of the votes, with a clear majority
lof So per cent for the social revo-
lutionaries. This popular representa-
tive assembly was forcibly dissolved
by Lenin, who called in Lettish
shaHpshooters for the purpose.

munists) to lead the 10000, ,000."
In 1917 Communists could be
counted by thousands, not millions,
and only are a few million still.
''No revolution in history has had
such a profound effect on educa-
ton and production" Mr.. Wallace
forgets the American revolution.
With a jump Mr.. Wallace takes
us to Stain, who "for practical
considerations had to make Rus
sian communism intensely national
= i" and purged a. number of the
old revolutionaries."
Follows Stalin's Line.
That number included every liv-
ing person who played a leading
part in the Bolshevist coup, except
Molotov and Stain.

Of course - Prof. John Dewey's

A RTHUR Vandenberg has
IN called Alexander Hamil-

and it was Hamilton, you will
recall, who believed govern
ment should be directed for the
benefit of the rich and well
born"
Vandenberg-for all the press
build-up as a Liberals still
a reactionary-is sti1l a Ham
iltonian-is still faithful to the
idea of government for the
benefit of the rich and we'll
born.'
He shows it whenever labor
issue comes up for a vote. He
voted for the Taft-Hartley law.
HE SHOWED it in his years
of service ON the Finance Com
nittee, where he helped develop
the relief-for-the-greedy tax
program. Vandenberg showed
his basic philosophy at the close
of the war when he helped push
through the Contract Ternina-
ton Act to further fatten the
profits of war contractors. That
Act, according to no less an au-
thority than the Comptroller
General of the United States,
gave an estimated $50 billion of
extra profits to the favored
eorpOrations-a sum of money
equivalent to the entire cost of
World War I.

accepted by President Truman
and the Democrats as the voice
Of America in the formulation
OF our foreign policy.

expressed his contempt for
