COPS DEWEY:
New Liberalism

For a man who was strangely
~reticent about plans while seeking
the presidency of the United States,
New York's Thomas E. Dewey
turned vocal and voluble in his Lin
coin Day address in Washington.
In the diminutive governors re-
marks there "a no apology for
defeat and no supine bid for favor.
Instead, he dashed out vigorously
against party policy and advocated
a purge of ''anti-liberals" from
COP ranks.
That there was a noticeable para
dox in his position apparently dis
turbed him not at all. While cry
ing for those who oppose liberal
progressive" policies to get out Of
the party, he struck out also at
New Dealish elements inside the
organization.
Urging his party to stop bemoan-
ing the past, he recommended that
it dedicate itself anew to forward
looking programs of social progress
but without trying to outbid the
Democrats with the public money"
1t was Dewey's first public ad-
dress since his defeat last Novem-
Der, and in it he reminded his lis
teners that the last COP platform
expressed wholehearted belief in
unemployment insurance, increased
old-age assistance, broader social
security generally, slum clearance
and public housing. public develop
ment of water power, and farm
price supports.
These words must have left some
of his hearers stunned. Surely, they
must have asked themselves, why
weren't some of these things men,
toned during the multiple appear
ances of their presidential candi-
date last year?
But, Dewey, ever the realist in
facing a situation, however he may
react to it, conceded that the par
ty was split wide open in a fight
between two extremes of thought.
And then he uttered a remark
must have brought some sly
smiles. He said: What we ought
to do is to make it everlasting
ly clear to the country where we
stand and why"

IMITATION:
People Curbed Ii

The people, themselves, C n
claim major credit for the recent
check to national initiation.
That is the conclusion of the fam
lily economics bureau of the North
western National Life Insurance
Company which conducted a study
of the subject.
THE STUDY developed that a
showdown, halt, or reverse of six
main factors in the rs per cent
rise from pre-war price levels had
been brought about.
1t found that as late as last
September, the public still was bid
ding frantically against each other
for more goods than were being
produced in many lines. But in
the final two months of 1913, con-
sumers suddenly quit trying to out
bid each other.
With industrial production in
nigh gear and comparatively free
from Interruptions, output and
available supplies of most consum-
er goods were gaining steadily.
Government bidding for grain in
Europe, which ran grain prices up
to record heights last year, slowed
down as world grain production
recovered.
THE LONG RISE in w~age-costs-
per-unit of goods was slowing down,
the study said.
Continuing its listing of the six
factors, the study reported that
rapid expansion in money supply.
both cash and credit, due to vast
government borrowing, had also
slowed down.
Borrowing by business for ex-
pansion was listed as the sixth fac
tor which was slowed down because
of frightened restrictions.
But the first and foremost cause
of the current price deflation, the
study concludes, has been the halt
in the public's scramble for goods.
By trimming their demands to fit
within available supplies, the peo-
pie have recaptured some of their
normal control over prices.

The army air force was making

The report was significant from
two standpoints. First, because the

MINDSZENTY
Gets Life Term

The trial of Cardinal Mindszenty
primate Of Hungary, was over ane
the verdict came as no surprise
The Cardinal was sentenced to life
imprisonment on charges Of trea'
son and black marketing. If there
were an unexpected element in the
outcome it was that the primate's
life had been spared.
But at trials end even that hung
in the balance. Cardinal Mindszen-
ty still could lose his life. Under
Hungarian law, while his sentence
of life could be appealed, the SUI
preme peoples tribunal, last court
of appeal, could increase the sever
ity of the sentence which, in this
case, could mean only death.
THE CARDINAL was doomed
from the outset. His plight had so
stirred the Christian world that de-
nunciations of the Hungarian gov
ernment's actions were almost uni
versal. Powerful western nations,
through their leading churchmen,
had attacked the trial procedure
and this, in turn, had incensed the
Communist-dominated Hungarian
court to a point where the issue was
never in doubt.
1t was generally believed that it
was only reluctance to make a
martyr out of the Cardinal that
averted the death penalty.
Hungary lost no time in assail-
ing American representatives who
actually, or purportedly, sided with
the cardinal. Among targets of
these attacks were Cardinal Spell
man, of New York, who delivered
a scathing sermon against prosecu-
ton Of Mindszenty, and Selden
Chaplin, U. S. envoy to Hungary.
AMONG OTHER THINGS, Cardi-
nal Mindszenty was accused of
gathering information for Chaplin
in a scheme to overthrow the Hun
garian government. Chaplin i'm
mediately branded this charge as
pure fantasy"
General opinion was that in the
prosecution of the Cardinal Rus
sian communism had made its
first great blunder. For in the
move was diScerned the fact that
religion and religious concepts -
whether Catholic or Protestant -
would not be permitted to stand in
the way of Soviet aims of expansion
and domination.
The Russians had resurrected a
policy which once before had so
alarmed them that they had for
sworn it. But now they were pub
Iicly and dramatically recommitted
to it-a policy of the Kremlin YER
sus Christ, and this time the Soviet
Union was up against an adversary
for whom there can be no defeat.

A-BOMB DATA:
Reds Demand Ii

The Russians Just couldn't stay
out of the news.
But in an %utterance which COM
manded American headlines, they
revealed themselves as almost
childishly naive.
With the cold war as hot as it
could be, short of the bullet stage,
the Soviets had the gall to demand
that the United States tell them
how many A-bombs this country
has and provide full data on armed
forces and ornaments.
Never modest in demands, the
Soviets set a deadline for receipt
Of this information. 1t was March
81, 1949.
HOWEVER, they wouldn't be
completely selfish about the matter.
They demanded that the report on
these matters be made to the
United Nations, Of which Russia is
a member.
Warren R. Austin, U. S. delegate
to the U. NJ, dubbed the Soviet res
olution a "succotash of all the
beans and different constituents"
Russia has put to the U. N. on the
arms and atomic questions since
the world peace organization was
formed.
Even a non-betting citizen might
be excused for risking a sawbuck

In 1947 the average was So, 900,
