| wish TO tndnk the Mutual Broad
casting System for this time to an,
swer the attack made the night before
last on those who join me in the
belief that there is NO REASON to
speak for war; and that there is every
reason to work for peace.
We who speak up for peace were
accused of dividing the people for
evil purposes. But whatever he may
call it, | stand with millions of my
fellow Americans in opposing Mr.. Tru-
mans plans to militarize our country
WE DON'T WANT OUR COUN-
TRY LED DOWN THE ROAD TO
WAR.
WE DON'T WANT YOUNG AMER
WHEN NO NATION IN THE WORLD
OFFERS ANY PHYSICAL THREAT
TO OUR SECURITY.
WE DON'T WANT OUR FINE
YOUNG MEN SENT OVERSEAS TO
DEFEND THE INTERESTS OF PR
VATE OIL FIRMS AND CARTELS.
IL this be treason, spare us the kind
of patriotism which insists that might
makes right.
Communists" those who support
our fight for peace, Mr.. Truman APP
pealed to prejudice, because he
could not answer us with reason.
He was trying to give the impress
sion that it is only the communists
who disapprove of his policies of sup
porting fascists, kings and reaction
aries around the world. that it is only
the communists who stand for repudi-
alton of the Truman Doctrine that it
is only the communists who fight his
plans to draft our young men and mill
tarize the country.
But millions of Americans who
stand firmly opposed to his policies
know that they are not communists
and they will not be frightened into
accepting militarism, because some
one calls them communist"
Mr.. Truman has done what other
professional politicians have done
before hm-he has given the Com
munists credit for all the decent
ideas which are advocated in this
land of ours.
I don't like to have the President
give them credit for ideas that come
from Isaiah and Christ; from Jeffer-
son and Lincoln. We all remember
the many times Franklin Roosevelt
was charged with communism. Like
those who used this tactic against
Roosevelt, he presents no evidence
that | have ever advocated single
policy inconsistent with the most fun
damental American concepts Of free
dom. Either the Communists are bet
ter folks than we have been told to
believe, or Mr.. Truman is giving them
such reputation.
What is it that | have said in OPP
posing the Truman Doctrine which
gives rise to such attacks?
First, | have said that a policy
which seeks to fight ideas with
guns is doomed to failure. said
year ago that the Truman Doctrine
would not bring peace, but would
brinq US closer to war. Mr.. Tru-
man admitted that in both of his
speeches on Wednesday. Only yes
terday the very conservative New
York Herald Tribune reported that
mass executions-POLlTlCAL Elk
ECUTlONS-are going on in Greece.
The situation there is far worse to-
day than it was a year ago when
Mr.. Truman went to the rescue of |
the old royalist crowd.

I Third, we must repair our share of
the damage done to the United Ma
! tions-and our responsibility IS great,
even though the administration would
like to shift all the blame to others.
| We have to build the UN, AND WE
CAN DO 1T, if we will bring our
practices into line with fundamental
American principles. If we aren't
going to lose all of the great moral
leadership we had at the end of the
war, we must face our own respon-
sibilities for the world crisis.
Fourth, on the home front we
have to fight against the restrc-
tions on civil liberties and make
our democracy really work. That
means that we must do away with
poll taxes and lynch law and segre-
cation, the oppressive labor laws,
and all the other evil practices
which make our proclamations
about democracy ring hollow in
most of the world.
Fifth, we must stop the trend to-
wards militarization of America which
is SO profitable to a few entrenched
interests and so dangerous to the
freedom of ALL There must be a
united action against the draft and
compulsory military training which
would regiment the lives of our young
people.
Last-and certainly not least-we
must look the situation over care

major differences we have with the
Russians. Having cleaned up our
own delnquencies in matters of
civil liberties and interference in
the political affairs of Greece, Tur-
key, France, Italy, Latin-America,
and many other places, we can talk
with the Russians about the ways
to expand freedom everywhere. We
shall then have moral authority and
the friendship of people in every
part of the globe. If there are
economic differences - matters of
markets and raw nateriaIs-We can
work them out. We must recognize
the theological differences between
the Russians and ourselves and
demonstrate our own faith in de-
mocracy and the free flow of ideas.
What both the United States and
Russia must realize is that in these
days when war entails widespread
civilian destruction by radiant gas,
clouds and bacteria, the only sound
military defense is a worldwide good
neighbor policy. Military men are al
ways experts in the last war and am.
ateurs in the next war. What 1 am
saying is that science has now made
peace" the only possible military
security" for the United States.
say furthermore that our present
program of trying to run the entire
world by force and dollars will lead
to IimitIess demands which will
ruin us. One year it will be $780,
100000, the next year So billion, the
next 40 billion, and SO on in rapid
progression until war itself soon be-
Genes the only possible answer as
domestic discomfort rises. That is

Shirley Winston
Warmly Welcomed
In Song Recital
By Alice Eyersmon

A heartening welcome from a
large audience greeted Shirley Win
ston in the Phillips Gallery last
night where she was heard in a song
recital. Since beginning her musical
studies in this city, she has been
actively before the public in diff
ferent musical fields and is at pres
ent soloist at National Presbyterian
Church. While her voice was listed
as soprano, 1t was in the mezzo
range that her finest work was done
last night although her high tones
are strong and true.
Songs like Strauss "Ruhe, meine
Seele" showed a rich vocal quality
and sensitive response to the
meaning of the text. Perhaps ner-
vousness at the beginning of the re-
cital made the singing of numbers
such as Care Selve" from Handel's
Atlanta" and "Porgi, Amore" from
Mozart's lie Nozze di Figaro" un-
even as to the control of the vocal
line and less grateful in the display
of her naturally fine quality of tone.
This disappeared when, in the
second half of the program, the
selections were from American COM
posers. "The Sun has Fallen" from
Menotti's THE Medium" introduced
this section and while interesting
as coming from a short opera that
has had radio and theater hearings
in New York and another success
for this gifted composer of music
drama, it does not stand up so well
as a concert number. Much more
effective vocally and with more
interesting content were the five

poems by Emily Dickinson set to
music by Ernst Bacon. Partial to
Miss Dickinson's poetry, which he
has utilized often as texts for his
songs, the composer selected "It's
All I Have to Bring" so Bashful, >
Poor Little Heart" "To Make a
Prairie" and And This of All My
Hopes" for the set programmed yes
terday. His musical arrangement is
delicately tuned to the individual
text with now and then a dash of a
modern turn to give it flavor.
Chanler's five songs under the
title "The Children" are clever and
ingenious numbers which pleased
greatly as Miss winston sang them.
They suited the singers voice bet
ter and were delivered without any
of the strain that was sometimes
apparent in the classic group and
in the two Brahms songs, %
Wuesst ich doch den Veg zurueck''
and "Wie Melodien zieht es mir"

Winston's strong points although
clearer in the "Chanson du Tigre"
from. Masses paul ct Virginie''
than in the German songs. This
excerpt from one of the last operas
of an almost forgotten composer
has its own distinction of style and,
while feeble as compared to the
popular arias, it offered a special
effect which Miss Winston grasped
and reproduced with skill.
Accomplishments were furnished
by Theodore Schaefer who has dem
onstrated time and again his mas
terry of this art. For some reason,
he was not at his best last night in
the numbers such as the Brahms
songs which ordinarily would have
been superbly played by him. Both
