Some highly placed persons in
Washington apparently became
worried over the sternness of the
American statement in its original
form and it was watered down by
offering the U. S. S. R. America S

U. S. S. R. means really further

There are indications that Mr..

That fact has nothing to do with

unable to suppress fifth columns,
this Nation will perish, or the people

which the President will gaze dur
ing the next few weeks. The State
Department, for ample, has
leaked the hope that he will keep
quiet about Palestine while truce
is being worked out. They got this
out we'll before the Pres d n t
reached Chicago, with its substantial
Jewish vote.
Yet the National Committee has
already heard reports that the Kelly
organization has not precisely ex-
tended itself to fill Soldiers Field
for Truman. The pull upon the Pres
ident to justify himself there will be
very strong.
Master of His Fate.
In a very real sense the President
is master of his fate on this journey
with respect to denomination. If he
puts it over, probably he can't be
stopped. If he doesn't, the draft
Eisenhower hue and cry will resume.
Pivotal in the outcome are the big
city leaders. BY informal agreement
they are on the sidelines, careful
not to commit themselves irrevo-
cably to Mr.. Truman but leaving the
door open to support him. They will
make no final decisions until both
the Truman journey and the Repub-
lican National Convention are con-
cluded, so they will know both public
reaction to the President and the
name of his opponent.
1t is conceded that Vandenberg
ticket plus Stassen, Warren, Lodge,
Saltonstall, Baldwin could probably
not be beaten and would also quench
any Eisenhower ambition. But if
they are to get conservative candi-

to social and economic problems, the
Democrats might 60 back to work.
At least some of them intend to see
then what can be done.
The President arouses no active
hostility; he could cope better with
that. What he encounters Is indif-
ference and apathy. But at least he's
game as he stands forth unsupport-
ed by powerful friends - and the

Of Red batting"
A serious problem demands truth
in dealing with it. The term RED

characterizes attempts to injure by
untruthful accusations. I am, there

self In draft resolution to be sub

early in August, the Communist
Party declares:
The Communist Party was
the only force in American po-
litical life which instantly grasp

The Communist Party, from
the earliest days after the end Of

The resolution then orders Amer
lean Communists to help the WAL
lace force as their central, immedi-
ate task" but to work to transform
it into a counterpart of the Com
munist Party.
This confirms the substance of
my accusation.
The immediate task of the third
party is not to get Henry Wallace
elected but to protect the Com
munists. The Wallaceites are rally
ing the lobby against the Mund.

when he launched his letter to
Stain, defeat the Mundt bill' was
she main theme Of the speakers who
told the crowd the most preposter-
Gus untruths-that any one who
struck for a raise or worked for
rent control could be prosecuted
under it. To applause from a by
no means Communist audience,
Vito Marcantonio declared that the
day the bill was passed we should
have taken the last step to fascism.

One wonders why the Communist
parties in Germany and Italy, the
two strongest on the continent. did
not protect those democracies from
fascism; and why Switzerland.
where communism was illegal,
avoided fascism and war.
Mr.. Wallace calls the Mundt bill
"warmongering." So we may no
longer be masters in our own house
without being accused Of planning
to attack the Soviets. That testi-
mony disqualifies the Communist
claim to be an independent Ameri-
can party because, If 1t were, why
should the Soviets consider 1t
warlike act to subject it to stricter
control? But when Mr.. Wallace

I, however, do not believe that
Henry Wallace is feeble-minded.
He knows what he is doing, and
he is not controlling his Commu-
nists. They are controlling him.
They nominated him; he is their
man.
