was remodeled into a dramatic
hall. In 1910 the chancel and

many happy memories of your
fruitful years in Washington
While serving as leader of one OF
the historic churches of the Ma

honored through choice of the
United States Senate as its chap
lain. Indeed, you can say, with
the Psalmist, The lines are fallen
unto thee in pleasant places; yea
I have a goodly herita"e.
Tribute by Barkley.
Vice President Barkley hailed
by DR.. Harris as a man "of wide
scholarship, profound convictions
and sympathies. In his church
and in his daily walk and in the
Senate, he is a man of force and
refinement and is affectionately
regarded by all who know him. ."
He also said DR.. Harris prayers
opening the Senate each day
Constitute a residuum of spiritual
and moral insight and consecra-
ton which affect all who hear
or read them"
A full program is planned for
next week to honor DR.. Harris.

Europe. Why is it not possible
for Americans to do business with
Spain in the same way that Brit
ain and France do it?
Both these strong antagonists
iof the present Spanish regime not
only have opened credits for this
country but also have signed trade
agreements. For instance, the
British government has made q
barter agreement to the tune OF
5000 ,00G, 900. while France signed
Ia similar agreement for some
$165 900 900.
These commercial treaties are
of only limited value to the Span
ish government. but they are bet
ter than nothing. It must take
products which, to it, are of only
secondary Importance: Really
necessary goods cannot be OBJ
tanned.
Railroads Decrepit.
For instance, Spanish railroads
have become so decrepit that
they are actually a menace to
travellers. Serious accidents oc-
cur daily. For nearly Is years
there has been no replacement OF
rolling stock. and railroad spikes
bring such a high black market
price that they are constantly
being stolen from the tracks
making travel an ever greater
hazard.
Neither the British nor French
can help Spain in this difficulty
Nor can they rejuvenate the
worn-out equipment of heavy in
dustry. The British have sent
to Spain heavy buses because they
have surplus of that particular
item. These. however. are of nc
help to Spanish industry.
Nor can the British and French
provide the turbines which are
necessary to harness the nation s
water power. America has these
things In ample quantity, but nc
private American concern dares
make a deal with the Spanish
government, in the face of the
State Departments warnings. par

can be made by the Madrid gov
ernment because Of its lack Of dol

On the Other Hand
Tuesdays Lesson: If You Want to Win
Elections. Go Where the Votes Are

This would seem to suggest that
he does not regard "statism" or
"the welfare state" as sufficient,
although he does share the feel
ing that the Truman program
carries q threat to individual
freedom and a likelihood OF TAX
ing the country down the road to
disaster.
Party Must Rebuild.
Once agreement on the issues
is achieved, he says. the party
must rebuild. In doing so it must
be willing to make use OF outside
organizations, just as the Demo-
Gratis have accepted the assistance
of labor organizations, the Ameri-
cans for Democratic Action and
others.
This would seem to discount the
herculean efforts of the American
Medical Association in all the
precincts and particularly In New
York. It doesn't take into account
the year-round support of the
NAM. and the United States
Chamber Of Commerce, which
should be useful even though those
two bodies refrain from getting
down into the dust of battle. In
fairness to Mr.. Stassen. however,
it must be said that he obviously
is thinking Of organizations that
have numbers as we'll as influence.
He knows that on election day
one or two sizable local unions
can turn out as many voters as
the NAM. and the U. s. c. Of c.
combined.
All that is being said here is
not intended merely to make fun
Of the earnest young Minnesotan
who has dedicated his life to the
pursuit Of the presidency. 1t is
aimed rather at the confused
political thinking to which he
lends himself.
II you want to make money.
it is often said, 60 where the
money is. Today in politics 1t can
be said. If you want to win elec-
tions, 60 where the votes are. The
votes JUS now are with the mill
lions, not with the millionaires.
Once they grasp this fact. Mr..
Stassen and other Republican
hopefuls can really begin to re-
build their party.

CIIdpIdIH.
During the past week. letters
and other expressions of esteem
have been coming in to the for
mer president of the Washington
Federation of Churches. Among
them were messages from Presi-
dent Truman and Vice President
Barkley.

of friends who will honor you on
the happy occasion of the 25th
anniversary of your ministry at

ident Truman wrote.

commander and continuing can
didate for the presidency OF the
United States or the Republican
nomination for same.
Mr.. Stassen's views, expressed
the day after the disaster in New
York, came from a clear mind or,
at least, from a mind less clouded
by grief than was the case with
some others. The newsmen who
listened to him got the distinct
impression that his heart had not
been broken by the damage done
to Gov. Dewey's reputation
through the failure Of the latter's
whirlwind campaign to elect j. F.
Dulles. This Is understandable
when you remember how Gov.
Dewey, by just such a campaign
in '48, laid Mr.. Stassen low in the
cow pastures Of Oregon.
Stassen's Opinion.
Gov. Dewey may consider the
election of Mr.. Lehman by less
than 200, 900 votes a setback" for
the national administration, but
Mr.. Stassen doesn't. He thinks
it "re-emphasizes" the disastrous
defeat of '48, the one that Gov.
Dewey suffered at the hands OF
Mr.. Truman, whom Mr.. Stassen
characterized as something less
than the Champ" That made
Gov. Dewey's defeat the worst in
the party's history, in his opinion.
While the eminent educators S
listeners were digesting this. he
threw some of their minds into
confusion by referring to the 1948
election as part Of a political
trend. Most of those present re-
called that the trend" last year
was generally agreed to be in the
other direction and that the Tru-
man triumph was simply an ex-
plosion that upset the trend.
Concerning the party's future.
MIR. Stassen had some equally
clear views. First 1t must, reach
some agreement on the issues.
