but I do know Henry mehem'fs'
that it is a shame that such an
appeal has to be made. We can
say that the loss Of one merchant
ship, or two merchant ships, and
perhaps is or 20 lives, is not worth
plunging this country into another
war. But when we say that, were
saying an untruth, and this is why.
When one man is killed, that Is
total war for him, his parents or
his wife, or his children, or his
sweetheart. He is just as dead, and
those who love him are just as
grieved, as if an entire continent
had been wiped out. You can't tell
me that there's such q thing as
declaring war on the number Of
casualties that are going to result
from the declaration of war. In
other words, it's all right to de-
clare war II 100000 deaths are
involved, but not If only is or 20
or 10000 are involved.

of treaty with them. What We
should do is say that We'll never
speak to Russia, or recognize any
part of Russia, until its leaders
become decent.
Certainly war is awful, but 1t
isn't so awful that a World War
III wouldn't be worthwhile If 1t
would put a stop to Russia's
threat against the peace and dig
nifty of the world. To me, the
whole idea of the United Nations is
a farce and a joke. Russia. and
its satellites, stand for everything
that is in direct conflict with Gods
teachings.
How can we stand and debate
for days and weeks and years with
what we know to be filthy and in
human?
The thing to do is try to wipe
them of the face Of the earth.

criticism in which his method Is
compared with that Of his prede-
cessor, Franklin D. Roosevelt who.
with a fine sense Of timing, would
concentrate on two or three major
measures.
Scatter Shooting.
It may be recalled that when
Mr.. Truman sent his first annual
message to Congress, in which 81
different legislative items were
counted by the sticklers for stat
istics, he was described facetiously
as Throwing q whole Sears Roe
buck catalogue at Congress. This
scatter-shooting, 1t was forecast,
would not work, a. Congress
would be under no special pres
sure. It didn't work for q time,
that is, until after Harry Truman's
reelection.
But this method, too, probably
has its value for Mr.. 'Truman's
purposes. BY repeating the list
year after year the President d

with his reelection, the impact Of
these aroused groups made q dent

be dealt with Immediately, and in
a way they will understand.
What we need in Washington
now are men who feel that the
protection Of America and Ameri-
cans is the most vital thing in the
world, even If the rest Of the
world has to be chaotic. There
must come a time, even for the
most humanitarian leader, when
he realizes that his own country
and his own people come first.
I am no philosopher and I am
no statesman, but I do have, I
think, a little common sense. This
country is in a position to lead
the world, but how can it be a
leader when it continually takes
slaps in the face from the nations
it is supposed to lead?
How could a kindergarten
teacher ever expect to improve her
young charges If she allowed them
to slap her, kick her. knock out
window panes and generally be
disorderly? To be a leader. she
must maintain discipline and earn
respect. Why should India follow
our lead when we continue to be
so weak in the face of insults?

policy of this country is phoney.

Mere Of The Same
Welfare Measures to Be Pushed
By Truman When Congress Convenes

Congress and for the congress
sional elections next fall.
While this tends to solidify be-
hind him groups whose interests
are often In conflict. it also solidi-
fes the opposition. This has raised
up two warning camps which will
clash head-on in Congress next
session as in the congressional
elections thereafter.
The doctors, for example, have
become so riled up over the health
insurance program that the
American Medical Association
imposed dues on it's members for
the first time-$25 a head-to
raise a fund to fight the Presf-
dents program which, with 145,-
900 members, would amount to
SO ,625, 900. The National Asso-
citation Of Manufacturers at its
convention In New York stiffened
its resistance all along the line
to the welfare state"
Sawyer as Missionary.
Significant in this whole pic
ture on the administration side,
and a new factor, is the mission
ary work with business by Sec
retary of Commerce Charles Saw
yer. In a recent New York
speech he deplored the battle of
the giants-giant business, giant
labor and giant agriculture-who
stand and watch each other,
sometimes with a baleful eye"
Mr.. Sawyer asked:
"Will they whip themselves in
to q frenzy Of emotion and charge
into . death struggle to destroy
each other, or will they pool
their strength to make America
even greater?"
He offered what he called "the
new liberalism" as distinguished
from the older liberalism Of the
10th century. The idea Of the
new liberalism" is that Of bal
ance, he said. Of "a middle ground
which is best for all In the long
run" and which discards "all pre-
conceptions concerning the class
struggle"
You will hear more emphasis
on this definition.

drive. When the rebellion against
Gov. Dewey's chairman, Repre-
sentative Scott Of Pennsylvania,
was at its height. separate Senate
and House campaign committees
advertised their intention Of being
independent of the chairman by
establishing their own high-pow-'
cred stats. Each included a press
agent and general factotum well
and favorably known to Washing
ton Observation-Disclosures john
son for the Senate and Robert
Humphreys for the House.
Since then the Old Guard rebels
have displaced Mr.. Scott and
elected their own choice. Guy Ga
brielson Of New Jersey. national
chairman. Also the very popular
William c. Murphy. jr.. who
stayed on as press officer for the
passing show Of all the Republican
chairmen. has died.
Some Republicans feel that In
view of the sorry state Of their
treasury, it might be well to put
at Mr.. Gabrielson,s disposal some
Of the high-class talent already
hired. rather than forcing him
into the market place for a new
staff. Mr.. Murphy reportedly had
a salary Of $4,000 and 1t will not
be possible to replace him at cut
rates with the kind of person ca
pable of running the Republican
onslaught on the welfare state.
Press Job Exacting.
The Job also requires a peculiar
combination of talents and ac-
quaintance. Experience has shown.
for example, that advertising
agencies will not serve the pur.
pose in the political-press field.
Another sheived problem that
Republicans must soon face up
to is who shall head their wom-
ems division. The successes Of
Mrs. India Edwards in securing
recognition from the White House
for Democratic women have
pointed up the weakness Of the
COP since its glorious victory
in 1946 encouraged the then
chairman. Carroll Reece, to fire
aggressive, ambitious Marion Mar
tin.
Miss Martin, vice chairman In
charge Of the women's division,
made the mistake Of claiming
great credit for the women and
announcing she would seek TO
improve their party position. She
was succeeded by her assistant,
Mrs. Robert Macau1ey. q pleasing
and sincere worker. but too young
and unknown to give stature to

almost completely ignored by the
Assembly in its complaint against
Soviet Russia and the Chinese
Reds, and its effort to pledge the
members Of the U. N. against
recognition Of the Red regime in
China was almost brutally turned
aside.
The Assembly took action to
keep the whole Chinese issue be-
fore the Little Assembly" which
remains In session while the As
sembly itself Is not meeting. But
that means nothing.
De Fact0 Recognition.
What the action on China
means is de facto recognition that
the Chinese Nationalists are no
longer a ruling force in China and
that their delegation to the U. N.
remains only by courtesy until the
members get around to the busi-
ness Of throwing 1t out and seat
ing the Communists.
China has had some pretty
painful experiences with interna-
tional action on its problems. The
old League Of Nations, it will be
remembered, appointed the Lytton
Commission to investigate the
Manchurian incident in which
Japan started her never success
fully completed campaign to con-
quer an of China.
The Lytton Commission went
out to China and Manchuria. 1t
investigated everything 1t could
and made q voluminous report,
which was Of great interest to
statesmen and political leaders
everywhere. But it led to no ac-
tion to get the Japanese out Of
Manchuria and only alienated
Japan from the League Of Nations
Members Alienated.
That is the same painful situa-
ton into which the United Nations
is falling today-alienating some
Of its members while lacking the
power to carry out its decisions
when they are adverse to those
members. It is the worst of all
possible situations.
No action at all would be better
for a peace-preserving body which
lacks force to exert its will than
action which fails to accomplish
its purpose while alternating the
people on whose continued support
it depends for its existence.
The United Nations set out with
the vision of correcting all Of the
mistakes which reduced the
League Of Nations to impotence

which made the path Of the &C.

salem and the U. N.-generated
proposal for an international re-
gime over that Holy City which
is sacred to Christian, Jew and
Moslem.
The decision to establish such
an international government was
taken against not only the warn
ings of Israel and Hashemite Jor-
dan that they would not permit
any such administration, but also
the opposition Of the United
States and Britain, which favored
q much more moderate proposal
for the protection Of the holy
places.
It was a victory for some Of the
Arab states, with the support Of
the Soviet Union and Latin
American countries. But it will
be an empty victory, unless some
way can be found to persuade
both Israel and Jordan to drop
their opposition. No way appears
now.
China Ignored.
To suppose that the United
Nations can by fiat. and without
the help of armed force, impose
an international regime in Jeru-
