This Changing World
Seriousness of East.West Conflict
Hidden by Optimistic Declarations

little Of the sense Of urgency which
the present situation demands. It
literally will be years, at the present
pace, before the United States can
rest assured that its defenses are
anywhere near adequate.
Yet, next week in Moscow will be
tateful time in the history of the
world, for experimentation points to
the intention Of the Western Allies
to get a definitive answer from Rus
STA as to whether 1t is going to be
peace or war.
From Mr.. Bevin's addresses well
as from other previous indications
the Western Powers intend to-pui
the question Of complete European
settlement up TO Russia. On the
answer may well hinge all future
history.
Flat Yes or No Seen.
The Russian response is not likely
to be fiat yes or no. In principle.
we have no doubt Russia would be
willing to enter into a settlement of
all European-if not all world
issues. But for Russia such a settle
ment would have to be on Russia S
terms, for the history Of our rela-
tons with her since the war shows
that there Is little if any COM
promise in the souls of Russia S
present-day leaders.
In coming weeks and months
there is every likelihood that all OF
the issues between East and West
will be explored, perhaps for the
last time. On the result will depend
whether We must look forward to
war or can expect a long period of
peace.
If it ever were important that the
Western Powers make clear their
power and determination to keep
the world one in which they can live
tolerably, it is now.
For this reason it is fortunate
that the West-led by the United
States-is taking measure after
measure to demonstrate to the Rus
SLAMS gthat we will not be intimi-
dated, that we will not yield to
gangster tactics, that we will fight
if necessary-to maintain our
position in the world.
II anything were needed-and
Congress is now in session to pro-
vide tit is some fresh measure to
stiffen the national defense. Coming
at this time when American diplo-
mats in Moscow will need every
demonstration of support they can
some new defense measure
might pay for itself many times

ton interspersed with new and old
stories.
Probably the most difficult ex-
perience was the effort to 90 to and
from the convention hall. With
thousands of people trying at
about the same time to get on
buses or secure a taxi there was a
repeated scramble. But getting to
the hall was simple as compared
with getting from the hall. To get
into the convention hall each per-
son had to have a ticket. Once in,
my badge gave me the privilege of
the entire hall. To walk into this
tremendous room with thousands
Of people, with great fioodlights
pouring out heat, and with tele-
vision activity adding still more
heat is an experience hard to de-
scribe. There was no question
about which portion. of the hall
was cooler. 1t was which was hot
ter. The delegate section Coward
the 'front.' was not less than ten
degrees warmer than the rear of
the hall. And on the night of the
nomination wednesday, all sec
tions became even hotter.
Unusual Experience
had an experience that nignt
which / Shall always recall with
real satisfaction and yet with a
shudder. 1t seems that the manage
ment desired to have the hall filed
for President Truman and there
had been many vacant seats at the
early sessions. So, the story goes,
the doors were thrown open and
the hall became more than crowd

men in a Democratic National
Convention.
1t was an experience which
would decline repeating for a hun
dred dollars but wouldn't sell for a
thousand.
There were several caucuses.
First Senator Tydings was our
choice for the Vice-Ptesidency.
When he stepped out the delega-
ton voted to support Governor
Lane. There were cocktail parties
and a crab feast. Some of the dele
cation elected to remain at the
hotel during the day session and
get tine results by radio. There's a
radio in every room. Drop a quar-
ter and it plays exactly one hour.
Serious Side
From a more serious standpoint
it was my privilege to sit in Off
cially on one of the big affairs of
our country. 1t probably has
marked a turning point in Ameri-
can history. To sit among men who
are at or near the top in state and
national affairs; to hear them in
timately discuss policies and can
didates; to hear the arguments for
and against States Rights and
civil rights; to have ONES first ra-
do interview; all this, and more,
is a truly worthwhile experience.
And through it all one is impressed
anew with the fact that men, re-
gardless Of high position, arc still
just plain men and as human as
the rest of US.

Behind The Scenes At
Democratic Convention
BY P. G. STROMBERG

To@xfve a report. on, the Demo
cratic National Convention whole
week after its adjournment and
when the. doings have been so COM
pletely portrayed by newspapers,
magazines, radio and television is
q task assigned me this week. So l
shall try to give readers an in
sight into the actual experiences
one encounters and let the official
side rest.
To begin with ! realized an am
bition Of many years. Since 1912
when ] worked on the Baltimore
Sun and was in and out of the
Fifth Regiment Armory during
the convention which nominated

hope that some day | might attend

ternate. ] was named an alternate
ct the Democratic State Conven-
ticn. So ! went to Philadelphia
with the Maryland delegation.
Rooms had been reserved for the
entire group and we occupied one
whole floor of the Benjamin Frank
lin Hotel.

There is a rather impressive and
Interesting phase of these conven-
tons which add more actual color
than the official proceedings. 1t is

the sidelights far outshinc the
main attraction. Meeting old ac-
quaintances and making new ones.

ed. Finally orders were issued taat
no more people be admitted. The
President was at the hall so police
men kept all traffic at least two
blocks from the building. Many
delegates, alternates, newspaper
and radio people had not returned
for the night session when this or
der was issued. 1t was pouring
rain and the weather outside was
as heavy as could be. We were
forced to get out of taxi at least
two blocks from the hall. l had as
my guests three Howard County
friends Raymond Pickett, George
Gardiner and Charles CarrelD..
They all had tickets. / had brought
raincoat and hat. Couldn't find
my hat until / saw it perched on
the head of George Gardiner.
Raymond Pickett and l both got
under my raincoat. At the en-
frances were hundreds (maybe
thousands) of people trying to get
in. We were told that we couldn't
get in even if one of us happened
to be chairman of the convention.
From one entrance to another we
sailed. My guests were becoming
piqued as was /. We ultimately
found ourselves in the basement
where many television sets enter
tanned crowds. l spied an entrance
and the policeman let me in on my
badge but held my guests out. l
told them to wait for me. If l had
any influence with newspaper peo-
pie, thought I, certainly one of the
big dailies could give me creden-
tials which would let my Howard
County friends in. No luck. II
finally found the convention floor
and the Truman demonstration
was on in full swing. Anyone who
has not witnessed one of these
demonstrations can't possibly con-
ceive the difficulty of vending
ones way through the lines. But |
had to break through the line four
or five times.
Friends Get In
Finally l located the Maryland
delegation and to each of the first
three members INsaid "lend me
your badge for ten minutes" So
with these badges in my pocket
had to find my way back to the
basement entrance. 1t was a job
but | made it. By this time my
temperature was hardly less than
ITO or lis and my pores were
throwing off perspiration by the
pint. l found the three men pa
tiently waiting and with the
badges pinned on their shirts mo
