sible barrier to Soviet expansion.
Unfortunately, the policies of
the British administration head
ed by Mr.. Attlee did not justify
such hope. It used the nearly
81 billion loan obtained from
the United States for the social
ization of the country instead
of endeavoring to improve i'm
mediately the standard of living
Of its people.
Congress was more irked. how
ever, by London's foreign poll
cies than by this waste of the
American taxpayers money. The
speedy recognition of the Com
munist regime in China, in di-
rect opposition to the American
policy; the discovery. revealed
from the floor of the Senate and
House, that while we were pour
ing assistance to the British
through various plans started
since 1947. Britain was providing
Russia with strategic materials
and with prototypes. and blue
prints Of the latest jet planes
designed in that country; the
half-hearted cooperation of
fered by the Labor government
in the Korean war; its suspected
insistence that we fight a CON
tanning action" in that area in
stead of a campaign to win, have
all contributed to the creation
of an atmosphere in Congress
and in the country which op-
posed further help to the Brit
ish-outside Of the sums appro-
priated under the military and
economic assistance programs.
Winston Churchill and his cab
met are expected to adopt a far
more realistic policy in Britain's
external affairs. He is known
to be probably the strongest ad-
vocate in the United Kingdom
for a genuine and full collabora-
ton with the United States. He
is no more pro-American than
say. Mr.. Taft is pro- British. But

ence of William M. Boyle, jr.,
retiring chairman, who had
been known around Washing
ton as a political lawyer COM
manding handsome fees before
he became chairman.
Frank Mckinney became. for
the occasion. the fall guy" But
he impresses one as a man who
does not intend to be a fall
guy" but, on the contrary, de-
termined to proceed vigorously
with a long-delayed cleanup.
He publicly recognized the
current Internal Revenue Bu-
reau scandal by making his first
official act letter to President
Truman recommending that in
ternal revenue collectors be put
under civil service. The Presi-
dent joined him in a White
House announcement that such
would be recommended to Con-
gress when it reconyenes in
January. Hitherto both the
President and Secretary of the
Treasury John w. Snyder had
been a bit dubious publicly
about this long-urged reform.
Mr.. Mckinney may be a
trif1e overambitious in his new
role. He may learn. and probably
not slowly, that you can't run
the Democratic National Com
mittee and it's affiliated local
satraps exactly the way you run
bank or a ball club; but evi-
dently he's determined to make
a real go at it.
That is something quite re-
freshing in itself.

Thomas L. Stokes:
Ideals furnished by Hucksters
unnon Should Call the Guilty to Account if He Expects
The People to Continue to Have Foh in the Eoir peoI

The tragedy that has befallen
the Democratic Party was dra-
matized in circumstances sur
rounding the meeting here of
the Democratic National Com
mittee at which a new chair
man was elected.
One aspect of the tragedy is
suggested in the fact that, at
long last, it fell to the brisk,
energetic Indiana banker-busi-
nessman who is new chairman,
Frank E. Mckinney, to point to
some, not all, of the symptoms
Of moral deterioration in i'm
portant and influential areas of
the party. President Truman,
himself, has neglected to single
out and denounce and correct
the symptoms.
To those who watched from
the sidelines there was recog-
milton of another aspect of the
tragedy, which is how the Fair
Deal and the ideals for which it
once stood for millions of people
have been tarnished by the
cheap and shoddy political
hucksters who were looking
only for a fair deal" for them
selves.
This betrayal may, it is true,
be the work of a comparative
few, but it is, indeed, a great be-
trayal for which, it would seem.
President Truman should call
the guilty to account if he
means what is symbolized by
the Fair Deal and if he expects
the people to continue to have
faith in it. More than the con-
tinuation in power of a political
party is at stake. This goes to
the heart of good government.
It is no answer to say, as the
President did in his letter to the
new party chairman, that Re-
publicanS are conducting a
smear campaign" and to init
mate that they are trying to
hide the real issues behind "a
campaign based on SANDER and
villiflcation." However that may
be, the real issues may easily be
hidden, and without Republican
help; for honesty in government
Is a first and basic issue with

David Lawrence:

Strange things are happen
ing in national politics. Gen.
Eisenhower is coming back for a
conference with President Tru-
man, and the supporters Of the
general for the Republican
presidential nomination hint
that it means a conference
about a successor to the allied
supreme command in January
and the way will then be opened
for an Eisenhower acceptance
of political candidacy.
1t is amazing the amount of
comment recorded among Re-
publicans who really ought to
know their politics, that they
actually can nominate Gen.
Eisenhower on the Republican
ticket.
What's amazing is that the
Republican organization men,
who will dominate the conven-
tion and who were displeased
in 1948 because Gov. Dewey
didn't make a sufficiently Wig
orouS campaign, are now ex-
pected to decide that a passive
candidacy will be acceptable to
a majority of the Republican
delegates.
For when Representative
Hugh Scott. jr., of Pennsylvania,
former Republican national
chairman, said that Gen. Eisen-
hover is Republican and is
vigorously anti-New Deal" the
question arose as to whether
the general would ever really
behave that way on the stump.
The spectacle of Dwight Eisen-
hover going up and down the
country denouncing the Tru-
man administration and calling
on the people to turn the ras-
Gals out"-which is to be the
main slogan of the Republican
campaigns not one easy to

Diamonds Go With Hard Work
Ezobeh Puts Over Tough Public Relations Job for Empire
AS Trumons Portray the Nice American Family

Washington is warmly well
coming Princess Elizabeth, heir
ess-presumptive to the British
throne. and her handsome con-
sort. Prince Philip, and also
enjoying the spectacle of the
Harry s. Trumans in their very
best speciality act, the nice
American family.
The President and Mrs. Tru-
man show the same attractively
paternal attitude toward the
young visitors that the Roose-
velts displayed in greeting the
Princess parents, who were so
junior to them, in 1899. The
Princess gets an extra dividend
in Margaret Truman, who is
playing the part of older sister
in her usual gay and sincere
manner.
Miss Margaret in fact is max
ing new friends in her charming
role and she might be surprised
to learn how many close spec
tators, male, of the royal visit
are privately boasting that "our
girl" can more than hold her
own in any competition.

thetic observers that the Prin-
cess was firing; less kind ones

He is deeply convinced that the
United States and Great Britain
with their ESQ, 900 900 people and
their enormous resources and in
dustrial skills could by them
selves, if necessary, meet the
Red drive successfully.
Mr.. Churchill is said to share

as bluntly as the former SUI

~--ans a full cooperation be-
tween the two English-speaking
countries.
Because of it's economic and
financial predicament, Britain
is stymied. The substandard Of
living which exists today in the
United Kingdom must be rem
edied. The rearmament program
and TIE increase in Britain's
military forces must be speeded
up. This requires money which
taxpayers in Britain, where tax
alton starts at the $500 level,
cannot provide.
Mr.. Hartman will make a
quick survey of Britain's needs.
What Mr.. Churchill will ask
from the United States and
what offer he may make to pre-
vent new loan from appear
ing as grant is not known at
the present time. But it Is felt
by high Washington officials
that the British Premier will of
fer something to remove the
impression that Britain wants
something for nothing.
The belief that Mr.. Churchill
will not come to Washington
until early next year is based
on the expectation that he may
wish to address Congress. The
British Premier knows better
than any European political
men who holds the purse strings
in this country.

anti-Truman. The So-called
"civil rights" issue will be the
crucial question.
Senator Byrd points out that
80 of the South's electoral votes
didn't go to Truman last time
and that, if the remainder of the
South's 1913 electoral votes had
gone as did the other 80, Mr..
Truman couldn't have been
elected. He recalled that Mr..
Truman had a margin of only
81 in the electoral college.
So the strategy of the South
erners is clear. They'll make a
fight at the National Democratic
Convention to abolish the two
thirds rule on nominations and,
failing in that. they'll seek to
abrogate the unit rule" where
by an entire State delegations
vote Is cast as the majority of
each delegation decideS-Some-
thing that doesn't happen in
Republican conventions.
The Byrd speech is the begin
ming Of a real split in the Demo-
cratic Party. Whether or not
President Truman runs again,
the Northern Democrats will
know they haye been in a fight
by the time the Democratic Ma
tional Convention has ad-
journed next summer.
The Republicans are split on
foreign policy. The Democrats
are split on the so-called civil
rights" issue. 1t looks like nine
months of bitter controversy
ahead inside both parties before
the nominees are chosen-and
maybe, if the South really splits
off, a President of the United
States will be chosen next time
in the House of Representatives
in the special manner provided
by the Constitution when no
candidate receives a majority of
the electoral votes.

strated in the past when Re-
publicanS were in power. In this
instance Republicans are backed
up by facts, most of them ex-
posed by Democrats-and the
latter, incidentally, with little
encouragement from the White
House.
1t was very plain from the
proceedings here that the poll
ticians of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee are disturbed
about the political effect of
revelations of corruption, and
measuring political effects is
their particular business. Their
Sensitiveness was evident all
around.

him bespeak the party's guilty

visualize as ever likely to
happen.
Small wonder that Mr.. Tru-
man speaks of the general as
"a nice man." and small won-
der that the Democrats are so
eager to say favorable things
about the general. They would
prefer him, first of all, to in
dorse the Truman foreign policy
and, of course, take it out of the
campaign as an issue. They
would then like to see him 60 as
lightly as his disciplined sub
mission all his life to his su-
periors would persuade him to
go in discussing as abstractly as
possible the record of the Tru-
man administration.
Maybe the Republicans who
are insisting that Gen. Eisen-
hover would not make a suitable
candidate would prefer to let
the Democrats nominate him if
Mr.. Truman doesn't run. The
generals position. as expressed
by recent visitors, is that he will
obey a call Of duty from any
party but will not aspire to the
presidency, permit any one to
speak for him as an authorized
sponsor or lift a finger even in
directly to win the nomination.
On top of the curious develop
ments in the matter of the
Eisenhower candidacy. some
strange things are happening in
the Democratic Party's back
yard. Senator Byrd Of Virginia
has let loose a blast against the
Truman administration which is
hte beginning of revolt that
will not go the way the Dixie
crat" rebellion did four years
ago. It will not mean a third
ticket. It will mean the placing
of Democratic Party electors on
the ballot in each Southern
State pledged to vote as they
please in the electoral college.
This means the electors will be
