that he might as well join the race
and offered his personal ticket:
Hugo for President and Hugo for

He went up to the convention

Let us see your ticket, stranger. !"
So Hugo showed him the sign he
was carrying: Hugo for Pres.

just laughed and said that is un-
constitutional and anyway you
can't get away with it. So he
chased Hugo all the way to the
Stock Yard Inn. where Hugo met
an old friend of his. a cat, with
whom he had once worked in
vaudeville.
The cat. a singer for light opera
fare, pointed out that in order to
get into the convention hall you
had to either have a pass or you
had to know somebody or you had
to be sneaky. Hugo said he didn't
have a pass and the only person
he knew out there was the cat and
so he'd have to try the last one,
which is sort of up his line any

used to work for the man.

said he would.

the Illinois Central Railroad,

Received Assurances
OF Top Commander

The President was reluctant
20 withdraw the last of our troops
in Korea until he had the as
surances of our top military COM
mander in the Far East that it
would be entirely safe to do so.
In the spring of 1949. he sought
and received those assurances
from that top military COM
mander.
Now, does any one have a no.
ton as to who our top military
commander in the Far East was
in 1949?
OF course. it was double as Mac
I think a review Of the facts
will show that if any one showed
a lack of concern for Korea, it
was the Republican Party.
In 1947, the administration
recommended to the Republican
80th Congress a program Of eco
nomic aid to help Korea become
self supporting by 1850. :.
The Republican leadership
failed to even consider the Ko-
rean aid program during the en-
tire 80th Congress.
The administration again SUBJ
mitted its program of economic
aid to the Congress in 1949. In
January of 1950-only five months
before the Communist attack
this program came to a vote in
the House of Representatives
There the House Republicans
greeted it with magnificent dem
onstration Of their concern for
Korea. They voted against the
Korean aid bill, 1870 to 81.
Now many House Republicans
will defend themselves by saying
that these bills contained no mill
tary aid for Korea-just economic
aid. Well, they had a chance to
vote on military aid to Korea, too
as part of the entire military aio
program in 1949. :.
Sixty-f1ve per cent of the House
Republicans voted against this
military aid program-includine
aid to Korea-in 1949, and 81 pei
cent of them voted against a con-
tinuation of that program-in-
cluding $100 million in military
aid to Korea-on March 81, 1850

Communists launched their at

Victory in this sense has not
been a necessary goal for the wars
America has fought. In the war
with Spain, for example, we did
not seek to conquer Spain itself,
but properly contented ourselves
with the specific objective we had
set forth. namely. the freeing of
Cuba. Likewise in the current
conflict, our objective is not to
overrun the enemy's land, but to
win the freedom and lasting Sc

Communist leaders that further

Excerpts From Address by Douglas

of monkeying with the buzz saw
of the free world.
# we can deter him for a few
years from attacking. we may gain
"a long peace. For Stain is over
20 years Of age. He has lived a
hard and cruel life; he cannot live
forever and perhaps not for long. ),
When he dies, a struggle for
power may break out between
rivals within the Politburo, which
would convulSe Russia and render
it incapable of aggression for a
long time. And once the Russian
dictatorship starts breaking up
the ice will melt rapidly. :.
It would of course be wrong to
say that our policy is an ironclad
guarantee of peace. Since the
decision whether or not to attack
will be Russia's and not ours to
make, there can be no certainty
as to what the rulers of the Krem-
lin will do. All we can say is that
our policy of effective resistance to
Communist aggression is not only
the best but is indeed the only
hope for peace in the world.
Our Republican friends are very
loud in their denunciation of the
conduct Of the Korean war. But
they are either silent or contra
|dictory about what they would
have us do in the future.
Two weeks ago, from this very
platform. Gen. Macarthur in effect
advocated enlarging the Korean
war into China. On the very next
night, former President Hoover
advocated giving up the use OF
appreciable land armies in order
to reduce taxes and also retreatine
to island air bases. This coulo
only have meant Korea as well a:
Europe.
We do not know which of these
opposing policies the Republican
Party and its candidates actually
favor. If the Republicans were
to take power. they would have to
choose. The American people
are entitled to know which policy
the Republicans really advocate
so that the people can decide.
There are those who hold that
"in war there is no substitute fol-
victory" and by victory they ap-
parently mean a conquering OF
the enemy's land or a total an.
initiation of his forces.

Russell Still Fights On
While He Is Caught in
Noth-South Squeeze
BY the Asseeioiad Press

CHICAGO, July 22.-Senator
Russell, apparently caught in a.
North-South squeeze, fought on
today in an effort to win the Dem
ocratic presidential nomination.
In every way, he looked like a
victim of a dispute on civil rights.
But undismayed by happenings
at last nights Democratic conven-
tion session, he planned to see
Oregon and other delegations
today.
Senator Russell watched by tele-
vision as his native Georgia and
five other States in the South
where he has about all of his
strength-went down to defeat in
trying to keep the convention
from adopting a party loyalty
pledge.
Too Early to Tell Effect.
The pledge: That delegates
would work for election of the
nominees picked by the national
convention.
Senator Russell told reporters
afterwards that it was too early
to estimate what had taken place.
But the handwriting. to many, was
on the wall.
With the presidential nominal
ton seemingly headed for Gov.
Adlai Stevenson of Illinois, Sena-
tor Russell was mentioned as a.
possible vice presidential running
mate.
Senator Russell said he deeply
regretted that Vice President
Barkley had taken himself out of
the race for presidential nomina-
ton.
Urged for Running Mate
Senator Russell said in a state
ment that "the Democratic Party
is q party of labor but we do not
propose to make it a labor party"
Mr.. Barkley had said he dropped
out because of opposition by
union leaders.
Although Senator Russell has
said repeatedly he would not take
the vice presidency. many Geor-
gians and others were believed to-
be bringing pressure to get him to
accept the post. if offered.
The convention could elect to
go along without the South. If it
does, numerous leaders have
warned of the popularity of Gen.
Eisenhower, the Republican nom

Europe or Asia First
Is Not the Question

Moreover, once the avalanche
started in Asia, our Allies in West
ern Europe would have lost heart
and the trimmers and doubters
would have moved over into the
Communist camp. It is not a
Question of Europe first or Asia
first. Both are necessary for each
other and for us.
Certainly our first duty is to de-
fend the United States. But could
the defense of this country be Sc
cure If all the rest of the world
save North America and the
northern tip of South America,
were against us? They would have
2 billion people to our $50 mil
The Communists do not sub
scribe to the doctrine of live and
let live. They are out to conquer
the world for they believe that
there is an inevitable conflict be-
tween their world and ours.
Therefore, If we had allowed
the Communists to take Korea, it
would have started an avalanche
which in all probability would
have quickly imperiled our safety.
| The President was therefore
acting to protect the security of
the United States as well as of the
free world when he sent our troops
to check the Communist advance
into Korea and when he got the
United Nations to cooperate with
us.
But it is objected that President
Truman should have gained the
consent Of Congress before he
acted. Perhaps he should have
done so. But a quick decision had
to be made and the delay of a day
and possibly even of a few hours
might have cost us Korea, Japan,
Asia and the world. =.
On the whole I do not think
the President can be appreciably
blamed for not asking for formal
congressional approval.
What then have been the results
of the two years of struggle. There
are those who say that it has been
"a futile war" and that the blood
of our men has been shed in vain.
Certainly our losses have been
