to establish a state In Western
Germany. This was proposed, to
be sure, when every means OF ere
ating a uniform occupation policy
and a united German economy had
foundered on Russian resistance.
Also, the proposal to create a west
ern state was advanced as neces-
sary administrative measure, not
precluding eventual German unity.
The Soviets, however, and their
Communist spokesmen inside Ger
many, declared it was move to-
ward the dismemberment of Ger
many; that it Withdrew the western
zones from the Reich and effectu-
ally divided the country into two
autonomous areas; that Berlin, by
geographic and economic ties, be-
longed with the eastern complex
of states; and that, therefore, there
was no more reason for the Western
Allies to be in Berlin than for
Russia to be Frankfort. The block
ade then was started to accomplish
this purpose, and was countered by
the American and British air lift.
Submitted As Proposal.
The Western Allies, however, did
not command the II West-German
states to set up unified German
state but submitted the idea to
them as proposal. And in the
text of their counter proposals, as
published Tuesday, the German
minister presidents formally have
rejected this.
The minister presidents believe,
however, that Notwithstanding the

Arrangements, nominations and

there is nothing to be gained or
lost in party policy through the
chores done by these groups.
This is, after all, the one conven-
ton where there will be no dispute
over the candidates - they chose
themselves with some assistance
from few party notables. Nor is
there much doubt that this select
group has a firm grasp on the
party. This is one convention where
reporters are not tearing around
to caucuses or covering platform
rows-everything, in fact, is so well
ordered as to be slightly dull after
the Republican and Democratic af-
fairs.

It's ritziest delegation is that of the
CIO leftwingers from Michigan -
they have taken over the Ritz-Carl-

The New Party has no complaint
about coverage. The radio chains
are on the job and the newspapers
and periodicals have sent about
one-third, perhaps less, of the staffs
which reported the major conven-
tions.
The eXuberance which marked the
party's early meetings in Chicago

Mrs. Roosevelt and the New Deal

not too much comfort for the West
ern democracies, and any one who
rejoices to see one Communist stand
up to the others, extolling his own
Communist virtues, is not too keen
on the subtleties of the world ideo-
logical conflict.
The Communist world has been
split, some say. A breach has been
opened in the Iron Curtain, it is
contended. All the Western world
has to do is to step in and win over
Tito and one part of Sovietland will
have been reclaimed for democracy.
Seen as Growing Pains.
It. isn't as simple as that. What
we are witnessing is the Communist
world passing through the growing
pains to maturity as a full f1edged
power in the World-and becoming,
thereby, an even more dangerous
threat to the democratic world than
it would be without the experience
of internal conflict and dissension.
We abhor the analogy, but the
progress OF Soviet Communism in
Eastern Europe might be likened,
in some Of its aspects, to the his
tory of the United States. This
country started out as loose fed
Grafton, held together by bonds little
II any stronger than those which
bind the Soviet bloc.
Our ancestors experienced all of
the divisive forces which appeared
in the tenuous union of 13 States.
More States we're added, each bear
ing no tighter a relationship to the
Union than did the original 13
States. The Union went through
its crisis in the Civil War. and out
of it emerged the powerful leader
of the world which this country to-
day has become.

let bloc, but we must keep up our

the Women-for Wallace to repud-
late communism. Senator Glen
TAYLOR, New Party candidate for
vice president, was besieged with
demands to state clearly his posi-
ton on the Communist issue.
The New Party ducked every
time
Chairman Tugwell of the Wallace
platform builders replied by taunt-
ing A. D. A. for its abortive efforts
to draft Gen. Eisenhower for Presi-
dent. The Women for Wallace said
oh, no, the Communists were fol-
lowing them-not they the Com
munists. Senator Taylor, always
glib, said only the pink or evolu-
tionary Communists were following
the New Party-the real Reds were
for Gov. Dewey in the hope OF
getting another Hoover depression.
If American liberals had any
doubt that the New Party intends
to take command of the left side
of the street and ask no questions
of the troops it finds there, they
should know now. The trend here
is unmistakable and platform is
In the making which outdoes the
late Huey Longs promise to make
every man a KING.
Displaced in Politics.
The weakness of United States
liberals, OF course, is that they are
currently the displaced persons Of
American politics. They were among
the first to brand President Truman
a weak candidate in the hands Of
strong minded conservatives; they
have increasingly denounced the
Republicans as the party of special
interests, and now the Wallace party
has come along to gild their slogans
and transform the goals of the New
Deal into promissory notes.
1t is difficult TO chart Wallace's
I Gideons Army with any precision
because its peace-and-plenty pro-
gram attracts so many people Of
good will who are quite divorced
from an theology. About 10 per cent
of the convention delegates, for
example, are ministers, always bull
warks of the pacifism Wallace
breaches so cogentiy
Forty per cent are under 40-the
young people who have served in
one war and are greatly disillusioned
about the peace they thought they
fought for.
These people believe and plead
sincerely that they are legitimate
heirs of American radicalism which
has won many a bloodless battle
and transformed the Republican
Party itself into form Mark Hanna
never would recognize.
But the long lists Of committee
assignments for the current con-
vention tell different story. The
platform group is interlarded with
names familiar to reporters and
veterans of the labor movement as
Communists or fellow travellers. The
Rules Committee is headed by Rep
resentative Vito Marcantonio of

faith that its growth year after
year will not bring 1t to any such
position of world prominence that
the United States enjoys today.
1t would be folly, however, to
draw from such internal conflicts
as the Tito incident any great COM
fort and any great expectation that
the forces of world communism
nave foundered once and for all on
the rocks of the divergent interests
| of its supporters.
We must assume-for the sake of
our own safety and the safety of
all those who depend on us-that
the Tito case is simply one more
Of those incidents through which
Soviet communism is strengthening
itself and growing to maturity as a
force in the world-and as threat
to our own way of life.
The road to destruction is paved
with the wishful thoughts of those
who try to see cause for optimism
where only pessimism should pre-
vail. Is there any reason to doubt
that Soviet Russia is bigger than
Marshal Tito and the Yugoslav
Communist Party? Is there any
reason to doubt that Yugoslavia-
already communized and paying its
humble respects to the MarXist-Len-
mist philosophy, of which Comrade
Stain is still high prophet-must
eventually bow to Soviet Russia and
the Cominform?
Where Can Tito Go?
Finally is there any reason to
doubt that when Russia has sur
mounted this crisis in its internal
relationships it will emerge strong
er and more ready for battle with
the Western democracies than it
was before Marshal Tito's defiance?
Like the Southern Democrats in
this country, where can Tito go?
He can't bring himself to join the
Western democracies, because to do
so would violate every single one of
his fundamental prejudices and
rules of life. He is a Communist
and he's stuck with it.
1t is too early, much too early,
to make any final assessment of
the Tito revolt against the COMM
form, and Tito's long speech to the
Yugoslav Communists Wednesday
did nothing to encourage the hope
that the marshal has suddenly for
saken his evil ways for the good
life. If We must take a position,
however-for the sake of friendly
argument with our neighoors-let's
not be too gullible. Let us be health
fully skeptical.
Tito's little demonstration has been
very interesting. But from here it
doesn't look too important as evi-
dence of Communist breakup.

everything should be avoided that
would give the character of a state
to the organization that IS to be
established" say the German coun-
ter proposals. The procedure
should make 1t clear that a pro-
visional establishment only is in
volved :. and the minister-presi-
dents must take special care to
avoid in the pending organization
anything which could widen further
the breach between west and east. p"
Also once more they stress the fact
that, in their opinion, "a German
constitution cannot be created until
the whole German people find it
possible to constitute itself through
free self-determination."
They welcome the creation of a
single administrative unity insofar
as the occupying powers permit it
and make proposal, highly neces-
Sary for any order, that the govern
ments of the United States, Great
Britain and France declare that the
state of war is ended. and that the
occupation powers proclaim an oc-
cupation statute legally defining
their powers under a basic law.
Reopens Entire Question.
This action of the German
states, rejecting the creation at this
time of unified German state
under German constitution, re-
opens the whole German question
Under these conditions, what is to
prevent us from offering the Rus
slams to negotiate the German situ-
alton on the basis of German pro-
posals from both eastern and west
ern zones, the Russians meanwhile
lifting the siege of Berlin under q
truce?
For since we shall not (and can
not impose the creation of a west
German state (about which the
French are very cool anyhow. the
issue which gave the excuse for the
siege no longer exists.
Assuming that the Russians dc
not want war-which may, of course,
be false assumption-the issue
becomes partly, at least, one of face
saving And if the decision of the
western German leaders helps save
both the Russian face and our own,
we ought to make the most of it
This would not mean yielding to
pressure-which We never should do
but recognizing changed situa-
ton. which calls for reopening ne
gotiations.
