Merchants Upset
By Boston 2

The Merchants were jolted at
Boston last Sunday when a team
they had previously trounced
25-5 played air-tight ball to cop
81 decision. 1t was undoubted-
ly the closest game played in the
league this season and was Cald-
wells first daytime loss in two
months, Quaker City having won
1910 on June 5.
Frank Boyd, on the mound for
Caldwell, pitched his best game
of the year, allowing five hits,
striking out six, and walking only
one. He got little offensive sup
port from his mates, however,
who could touch the combined
offerings of Lawrence Stephen
and Jim Morris for only three
safeties.
Caldwell sent only 20 men to
the plate, just two over par for
the nine innings, and in only one
inning did they send more than
three to bat. This was the eighth
when the Merchants tailed their
lone run.
Stan Mazgay opened the inn
ing by lashing out a hit near
second which he stretched into a
double by fast running. Dave
Stellfox then singled to drive
him in from second and avert a
shut out. Caldwell had only six
men on base in the entire game.
Boston scored their two runs
in the second when Hubert and
Elmer Stephens dropped conse-
cutive singles over the infield.
Kelly Stephen was hit by pitch
ed ball, loading the bases with
none out. Wes Carpenter flied out
to right field with H. Stephen
scoring after the catch and E.
Stephen moving to third.
With one out, Kelley Stephen
stole second and when the throw
was made to the keystone sack,
Elmer Stephen raced home with
what proved the margin of vic
tory. Boyd then struck out the
next two batters to retire the
side

Unveils Real Truman Doctrine

general welfare. These things were
spelled out in the Taft Hartley Act,
farm legislation and refusal to move
in the field of health, housing, edu-
cation and social security. They
were spelled out in the attitude to-
ward prices and profits and toward
development of natural resources
For these reasons ve voted as we
did.
The. President caused little sur
prise when, in his State of the
Union speech, he revealed q deter
mination to protect and enlarge
on these established Roosevelt poll
cies. But he has shaken up the
American mind with his proposal to
apply the underlying Roosevelt phi
losophy to the problem of the ILL
clad. ill-fed, ill-housed of the rest
of the world.
This doesn't mean that he is ask
ing American taxpayers to dig into
their pockets for the relief of people
everywhere. 1t doesn't mean that
any more than it means the "im-
perialistic exploitation" of which
we are glibly accused by the Rus
sian government. 1t means merely
helping ''the free peoples Of the
world. through their own efforts,
to produce more food, more clothing,
more materials for housing and
more mechanical power to tighten
their burdens" The agencies to
be used would largely be those of
the United Nations which have
already gone a long way toward
preparing the groundwork for such
a program. Our chief contribution
would be our pre-eminent techni-
cal knowledge and skill, plus some
investment capital.
Policy Taking Form.
1t is an ambitious program. Con-
ceived at any earlier time it would
have been regarded as a pleasant
dream or something to be- filed and
forgotten. But now under the
pressure of a world crisis, 1t assumes
the appearance of something that
can be done because it must be done.
1t is beginning to be understood
that the United States cannot pros
per for very long in an impover-
ished world. That is one phase OF
the crisis.
The other is the still spreading
threat of communism in lands long
exploited by their ruling classes or
by foreign imperial powers. To stop
this spread democracy must prove
itself and the President is pointing
the way in which it can be done.
We seem to have failed for the mo-
ment in China. We are having our
difficulties In Indonesia and else
where, but Our policy Is taking clear
form and is hardening.
The Presidents bold statement of
this policy, If supported by the
American people, should win the ad-
herence of other free countries and
should, in time, turn the tide once
more toward democracy.
It may be that on Thursday last
we heard the real Truman Doctrine,
the one that will give him his place
in history.

1t is unusual to see Republicans
In a public fracas. Some deplore
1t. Others welcome 1t as a sign
Of the party's vitality.
They aren't really fighting about
who shall be national chairman.
That's incidental In truth and in
fact. nobody cares very much, be-
cause it is not a very important
job at this point. The real argu-
ment Is over who shall take re-
sponsibility for the November 2
debacle-Gov. Dewey or the 80th
Congress.
But Mr.. Scott became o symbol
of this argument and hence a
target. It was his deliberate choice.
His motivations are not clear: the
headquarters grapevine supports his
contention that he Is not acting
in Gov. Dewey's interests.
The best guess seems to be that
the young man has decided it's
wonderful to be not just one OF
435 more or less obscure members
in Congress, but the one and only
national chairman Of one Of the
two major parties. So he Is fight-
ing to keep the job.
Brewster Proxy for Taft.
There are some Republicans who

decided against putting too much
emphasis on the conquest of North
ern China, in order not to arouse
the American people from their

it is the security of the United

have5la definitely hostile power con-
trolling the Chinese mainland and
its important coastline from Vladi-
vostok to Shanghai. Because in the
last decade we have feared the i'm
pact of such control by hostile
power, the American Government
opposed by all means short of war,
from 1882 to 1941, the domination
of that strategic area by foreign
power.
Our adamant attitude against ia

suited in the Pearl Harbor attack,
and very few of the men who were
making American policy in those
days would deny that they were
aware where such q policy was
leading us. But they decided that
the risk to our security was so
great that such considerations must
be overlooked in opposing Japanese
conquest of Manchuria and later
portions of China itself.
1t is true that the Kremlin has
been far more skillful than the
Japanese warlords. Instead of send
ing Soviet troops openly to do the

pre- eminent among the nations in
the development of industrial and

Now this column recently called
attention to an agreement signed
between the Republic Of Indonesia
and a private American corporation,
headed by New York promoter.
1t is confirmed by member Of the
delegation of the Republic Of In
donesia in New York that this agree
ment is signed and sealed.
When we questioned the desira-
bility from the 1ndonesian view
point OF handing an American COM
pany as agent a monopoly Of trade

Unwarranted Boosting.
Furthermore, our "pre-eminence
in chronological and scientific tech
niques" Is unwarranted boasting.
We are not the only people who
successfully can undertake vast
hydroelectric and irrigation prof.
ects, as the British, Dutch. Italians
and European Jews in Palestine
amply have demonstrated. In the
realm Of pure science from which
all technology stems, the British
are our superiors. And our pre-
eminence in atomic science was
achieved chiefly through the work
Of italian. Danish and German
refugees, with notable British con-
tributions.
We are neither wiser nor more
intelligent than other Western peo-
pies. We are richer.
The President spoke with refresh

a people, need to learn much more
humility. For II we try to carry
"the American way OF life" to the

way Of life has developed out Of

Scott Custer in Balance
Real G. o. P. Fight at Omaha, However

ices he has done for the blunt and
tactless Senator Taft, both on the
Senate floor and in committee
chamber. Conceivably the suave
Senator from Maine can do more
for Taft at this juncture in COP
affairs than Taft could do for
himself.
Gov. Dewey presumably can rely
on New York State Committeeman
J. Russell Sprague in the clinches.
Others who have aided him in the
past hand-to-hand fighting include
Harry Darby of Kansas and Lew
Wentz of Oklahoma.
How Scott Got Job.
The relatively obscure Represen-
tative who has thrust himself into
the middle OF the melee is a we'll
born young lawyer from German
town, who was the most surprised
man in America when he got the
job he now fights for. He got 1t
this way: After his nomination
at the Philadelphia convention last
June, Gov. Dewey told Senator
Martin and Joe Grundy of high
tarin fame that Pennsylvania could
have the Craftsmanship as its re-
ward for leading the break to him.
Gov. Dewey made three stipulations
he wanted member of the House,
q war veteran and resident of q
varied district which could not BE
called silk stocking. Messrs. Martin
and Grundy gave him three names;
he chose Mr.. Scott, whom he had
previously met exactly once. Then
Gov. Dewey took direction of the
campaign out Of the committee and
gave 1t to his private brain trust,
Sprague, Browneu and Jackie.
The Old Guard muttered about it
all but were silenced by the roseate
prospect Of victory. After November
2. their complaints began to fill the
press. the mails and the long-dis-
tance telephones. Such national
committee pillars as Walter Hal
Imam Of West Virginia. Harrison
Spangler Of Iowa and Clarence B..
Kelland Of Arizona were among
those whose outcries panied and
alarmed the national chairman.
Mr.. Scott took the offensive. He
summoned correspondents to of.
the-record luncheons at which he
confided that he intended to remain
despite certain of1stage shouts and
murmurs. He also adopted the pro-
posal originally advanced by young
Philip Willkie for q grass roots con-
ference Of Republicans to map their
future.
Then he called this weeks meet
ing of the national committee. The
mutterings swelled in volume but
he was getting away with it until
last week end, when he appointed
a new executive committe heavily
weighted with Dewey supporters
And lacking two Taft people who
had previously served in that Ca
pacity. Now the old guard Is really
sore.
Mr.. Scott still may get away with
1t. But the chance that he won't

neo-democrats. A large number
of highly placed Americans, in
cluding Secretary Of State Marshall
fell into that trap.
Since the attention of the Ameri-
can public was focused on the
European situation, which we expect
to correct with a Good Samaritan
policy, China received consideration
from a handful of people swhose
warnings fell on deaf ears.
None of the top-flight radio and
press commentators. who have mil
lions of listeners and readers, both
cred to draw the attention of their
audiences to the threat to our
security which would result from
the victory of the Communists. The
venality and incompetence of the
Nanking government was the only
thing that bothered them, and by
their continued denunciation OF
an endemic condition in China
they distracted public attention
from the main point of concern to
us in the Ear East situation, the
problem of Americas security in
the light of the Soviet govern
ment's undisguised enmity.
Security Lost by Default.
These popular commentators, so
keenly mindful Of the preservation
of democracy. overlooked the fact
that there can be no democracy
without security. We have lost our
Pacific security by default, by re-
fusing to send Chang Kai-shek's s
American trained divisions the
means with which to fight the Com
munist armies. The latter were re-
ceiving every conceivable assistance
in equipment, technical advice and
instructors from Russia.
We were told that the Nationalist
armies were selling their equipment
to the Communists. This was only
a half-truth. They did sell-either
for cash or "pardons"-equipment
which had become useless because
the United States had failed to sup
ply the ammunition for it.
American military observers -
about 200 in number-were ordered
by Washington to maintain such
strict neutrality that they could not
20 anywhere near the fighting
fronts or give advice on the spot to
the incompetent - though we'll
meaning-Chinese generals.
There Is little that we can do in
the immediate future to remedy the
situation, although a number OF die
hards who recognize the threat to
our country advocate the .reorgani-
zation of the remnants Of the Ma
tionalist armies, which Chang has
ordered to move into Southern
China. Their idea is that after this
army has been re-equipped and re-
organized with the help Of compe-
tent American ofilcers it might be
in position to resume the offensive
and defeat the Chinese Communists.
The principal drawback, which is
overlooked by these enthusiasts. is
that a new Nationalist government
will no longer face Chinese Com
munists alone. but the whole might
of the Soviet Union, which does not
intend to lose now what 1t has won.
