President Tuon Speech Convention

our spokesman on this subject
In the councils of the United
Nations and she has done q
wonderful job-Mrs. Roosevelt.
Will Continue Fight
For Civil Liberties
There is another part of our
fight that is extremely impor-
tant. That Is to protect the
civil liberties Of Americans.
Your national chairman, Fran
els Biddle. has pointed out the
terrible dangers that lie in wait
for us If we surrender to the
clamor Of McCarthyism. and
adopt the practice of guilt by
accusation. We cannot. we will
not, give up nor weaken on this
issue either.
Those are some Of the prin-
ciples for which the Demo-
cratic Party stands. and for
which the ADA stands. We
stand for better education. bet
ter health. greater opportunities
for all. We stand for fair play
and decency-for freedom Of
speech and freedom of the
press, and the cherished prin-
ciple that a man is innocent
until he Is proved guilty.
Taken together. these prin-
ciples are the articles of the
liberal faith. I am sure that the
liberal faith is the political faith
OF the great majority Of Ameri-
cans. 1t sometimes happens that
circumstances of time and place
combine to deny its expression.
But the faith is there. and the
reactionaries can never hope
to have any but temporary adj
vantage in this country.
That is why the Fair Deal
program will not be weakened
or compromised, and that is
why the Democratic Party will
nominate a liberal for President.
That is why, this time as in
1948, the ADA will throw its en-
ergies into the campaign battle
and will carry on the good
fight against reaction and fear
and Selfishness.
And that is why. this time as
in 1913, we will win.

Natural Power Plans
Not to Be Forgotten

And there's another matter
I don't intend to back down on.
That Is our Party's pledge to
develop the vast natural power
resources of this Country for
the benefit of all, and to
make sure that power produced
by public funds is transmitted
to the consumer without a pri.
vate rake-off. How could we
back down on q pledge like
that? When we look around us
at the great good that has been
done by the IVA and the Grand
Coulee and the Southwest Power
Observation-Disclosures we see
what projects like these have
done to improve the lives and
increase the prosperity of our
people-how could we possibly
Justify weakening our policy?
I don't care how much money
the power lobby puts into this
campaign against us. I don't
care what lies and smears they
put out. There is a principle
here which goes to the welfare
of the Country. And we are
going to stick to it.
There is another thing we
must stand firm on. That is
our pledge on the issue of civil
rights. No citizen of this great
Country ought to be discrimi-
mated against because of his
race, religion, or national origin.
That is the essence of the Amer
lean ideal and the American
Constitution.
We have made good progress
on civil rights since 1948, in
the Federal Government, in the
armed forces, and in the States.
But we still need the legisla-
ton I recommended to the Con-
gress over four years ago. We
must go ahead to secure for all
our citizens, East, West, North
and South, the right to equal
opportunity in our economic
and political life. and the right
to equal protection under the
law. That is real, true, 100 per
cent Americanism.
This Is very important to us
abroad as well as at home. The
vision of equal rights is the
greatest inspiration of human
beings throughout the world.
There is a person here tonight
who can tell us from her own
experience how important it is
for the world to know that we
share this vision. She has been

ADA Receivers,
'Rescuers' District
From U.N. Authority

Americans for Democratic
Action yesterday almost came out
in favor of placing the voteless
District of Columbia under the
United Nations Trusteeship Coun-
Gil.
The ADA convention was con-
sidering its foreign policy declara-
ton. One paragraph advocated
that all on-self-governing terri
tories should be placed under the
Trusteeship Council. It was
objected that this might apply
to Alaska and Hawaii.
"And the District of Columbia,
too" said Roger Baldwin, former
head of the American Civil Liber-
ties Union, who was presiding.
The declaration was revised.

Republicans Hit Back
AT Truman ADA Talk;
Call Il Ward Level

President Truman's attack last
night on Republican Party policies
drew quick retorts from G. o. P.
House members who said the adj
dress was on the ward level" and
incorrect. Some Democrats said
he didn't go far enough.
Representative Hall, Republic
an, of New York, issued a state
ment saying:
"All the ward level vituperation
that Mr.. Truman and his horde of
Government-paid ghost writer's are
able to dream up between now and
November will not hide the fact
of Mr.. Humans complete inabil-
ity to solve the terrible problems
that are troubling our people-an-
other war. high prices, back
breaking. taxes, Government waste
and corruption"
OMahoney Forecasts Victory.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat,
of Wyoming, outdid the President
in forecasting November victory
for the Democrats.
He predicted Republicans who
favor the foreign policies of Gen.
Eisenhower will support the
Democratic nominee in the No
Vember elections. Implying that
Senator Taft of Ohio will win the
G. o. P. nomination, Senator
O'Mahoney said:
when the supporters of the
foreign policy espoused by Paul
Hoffman and Dwight Eisenhower
are banished from the Republican
convention in Chicago there will
be no recourse for them except to
support the Democratic nominee"
Hickenlooper Denies Sheer.
Mr.. Truman said Senator Wiley
of Wisconsin was sneered at and
jeered at by Republican Senate
rial colleagues because he sug-
gested some present foreign poll
cies are good.
II didn't sheer at anybody" said
Hickenlooper, Republican, of
Iowa, one of the seven the Presi-
dent mentioned by name. 1.-THE
President is just as incorrect in
that one as he has been on some
of the other recent statements on
which he had tn hack I'M en- rapid
ly when they proved unfounded.
Bipartisan foreign policy
about which the Democrats speak
so much has been just a myth"
Senator Hickenlooper added.
"They run things as they see fit"

Mr.. Truman as sneering were I'M

Will Not Discuss
Constitutional Issues

Take this steel dispute.
I am not going to talk consti-
tutional issues here tonight:
they are before the Supreme
Court. I just want to bring out
a few facts about the economics
of this dispute in the steel
industry.
The steel workers came in
before a Government agency
and proved that they were en-
titled to some wage increases.
It was all perfectly fair, clear
and above board. You can look
at the figures for yourself.
And then it was the turn
OF the steel companies. They
were asked to agree to fair and
reasonable wage increases and
come in and submit their case
for price increases, if they
needed any. But would they
do that? Not at all. :
Their profits, whatever yard
stick they use, have been run
ming close to record levels. I
think that is the reason why
they don't want to submit their
case for consideration on it's
merits. They refuse to abide by
the rules of our sterilization
program. They just come out
fatty and say that the Govern
ment has to give them a big
price increase. or else.
Now the Republican leader
ship didn't have to get mixed
up in this fracas at all. The
Republican leaders could have
taken calm, judicious attitude
and weighed both sides and de-
cided where the merits lie.
But that is not the way Repub-
lican leaders act; it never is.
They rushed into the fray at
once. They took it up in Con-
gress, and they made speeches
up and down the Nation. They
demanded four or five new in
vestigations. They threatened to
wreck price control, and they're
doing their best to do it. And
what is the purpose of all this?
The purpose is to preserve high

Party Is Dominated
By IsoIotionists

And they are keeping pace in
the field of foreign policy, too.
Day after day, they are making
it plain that the Republican
Party is dominated by isolation
lists who don't really believe in
international cooperation at
all.
Today, most of the American
people know that the survival
OF our country depends on our
foreign policy. They know that
a firm, consistent foreign policy
can arise only from a non-part-
isan foundation. They know
that the leaders of both parties
should work together in foreign
policy for the good of the coun-
try. and that partisan politics
should stop at the waters edge.
The wiser heads of the Repub-
lican Party understand these
things, too. Some of them have
worked for a common agree
ment between Democrats and
Republicans on foreign policy,
for the good of the country.
But just as these wiser hands
appear to have succeeded in
getting the Republican Party to
stand for the good of the coun-
try in foreign affairs, a revolt
breaks out: and the old, unre-
constructed, isolationist wing of
the Republican Party sets out
in full cry again-and scares
the people half to death.
This happened again, just a
few weeks ago. Senator Wiley,
the ranking Republican men,
Der of the Foreign Relations
Committee in the Senate, made a
speech to the newspaper editors
on April l19. He said there was
a good deal in our international
relations of which every Ameri-
can could be proud. He said
that the Republican Party
should not engage in unjustif1ed
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-05-18

criticism of our foreign policy,
but should play a constructive
role. And he asked us all to re-
member that I'VE are first and
last of that breed called Ameri-
cans"
1t was a good speech, and an
honest one.
But what happened? First
of all. the BERTHE Mccormick
sabotage press jumped on Sena-
tor Wiley. They said he had en-
dangered his country, betrayed
the voters of his State, and
imperilled his party. Then his
Republican colleagues in the
Senate went after him. Senator
Cain and Senator Welker and
Senator Mundt and Senator
Hickenlooper and Senator
Schoeppel and Senator Bridges
and Senator Ferguson went after
him in a pack. They sneered at
him, and jeered at him. and dis
torted his words, and cross
questioned him. They gave him
to understand that this was an
election year, and it was the
duty of every Republican to
attack the foreign policy of the
country. They made it clear
that first and last, when it came
to foreign policy, they were of
that breed called Republicans,
and Senator Wiley ought to be
likewise.
And there wasn't a single
Republican who got up on his
feet and said Senator Wiley was
right.
Nobody ought to be in doubt,
now. That was the Republican
answer to the latest plea, from
one of their own members, for
a bipartisan foreign policy.
That was their answer to a
fellow Republican who dared to
stand up and say that our coun-
try is doing good thing when
1t co-operates with other coun-
tries. in Europe and in the Far
East, to hold back aggression.
1solationism is not dead. Far
from it. Even if the Republic
cans get a presidential candi-
date with a good record in for
eign affairs. he will not be able
to drown out the raucous isola-
zionist outcries of the rest of
the party. And that prospect is
beginning to scare the voters
as it certainly should.

Minerals Under the Sea
BeIonq in Federal Control

Take the problem of offshore
oil, for example. The minerals
that lie under the sea off the
coasts of this country belong to
the Federal Government-that
is to all the people of this coun-
try. That ownership has been
affirmed and re-affirmed by the
Supreme Court of the United
States. Those rights may be
worth as much as forty billion
dollars to the people of this
country.
If we back down on our de-
termination to hold those rights
for the people, we will act to
rob them of this great national
asset. This is just what the oil
lobby wants. They want us to
turn that vast treasure over to
a handful of States. where the
powerful private oil interests

Must Not Rely
Entirely on G. O. p. HeIp

Now, we can always rely on
the Republicans to help us in
an election year, but we can't
count on them to do the whole
job for us. We have to do our
part, If we are going to win.
The first rule in my book is
that we have to stick by the
liberal principles of the Demo-
cratic Party. We are not going
to get anywhere by trimming or
appeasing. We don't need to
try it.
The record the Democratic
Party has made in the last
twenty years is the greatest po-
litical asset any party ever had.

contention, banquet OF the Ameri.
cans for Democratic Action
tolloWs::
1t is a real pleasure to speak
before the national convention
of ADA.
The ADA was set UP in Jan
uary. 1947. Those were dark
days for the liberal forces in
America. But you people had
the courage to take up the fight
and to go forward. You dedi-
Gated yourselves to fight for
progress and, against reaction
against reaction of the right
and reaction of the left.
You helped to hang the rec
ord of the S0th Congress around
the neck of the Republican
Party. You helds firm against
the fanatical and misguided at
tacks of the Wallace movement.
And since 1948, you have been
going down the line for policies
and programs in the interest
of the people and in fulfillment
of the highest values we cher
ish in this Republic. 7 congrat-
ulate you on all the effective
work you have done for the
cause of liberal government.
Of course, there was a time
when 1t might not have been
so pleasant for me to meet with
the ADA. I understand that
TOUR years ago-along about
this time-some Of the leaders
OF ADA were engaged in rather
wild fancies about the Presiden-
tiai nomination.
am told there was a little
poem that gained some currency
in ADA circles in those days.
1t went like this:
Between the Taft and the
Dewey,
When defeat is beginning to
lower,
Comes a pause in the ADA's
occupation,
That is known as the Eisen-
hover.
doubt if you will be having
any pauses for that particular
purpose this year.
In spite of the various no.
lions about the nomination in
1948. the outcome of the cleo
ton that year pleased all of us
here-and it astonished a great
many people. The results were
good for the country, even
though they set back the science
of political forecasting for
full generation.
Now the time has rolled
around again when you folks
have the problem Of trying to
pick and choose a candidate to
support. You are not the only
ones who have that problem,
and assure you I am fully
aware that it can be a very
perplexing problem indeed.
