But the situation is entirely

But, with all the attention
the anti-Communist issue got,
something else unquestionably
added to McCarthy's vote. It
was the anti-war feeling which
the Wisconsin electorate has
manifested in the past. The
Korean war is far from popular,
and Mccarthy has been ham,
mering away at the idea that
American boys are in Korea
and lots more are about to be
drafted soon to fight war lost
by the pro-Communist policies
of the State Department prior
to Korea. It is the war issue
which contributed dramatiza-
ton to the Communist issue.
The cleft wing" criticism of
Mccarthy has overreached it
self. This writer has never
agreed with some of McCarthy's
inferences or conclusions on cer-
tain cases which he has brought
to public attention, notably the
case of Gen. Marshall. But it
must be conceded that the Wis
consin Senator has done more
than any one person in public
life, with the possible exception
of Senator McCarran of Ne
vada, Democrat to expose the
Communistic influences in our
Government. An Eastern met
ropolitan newspaper said edito-
rally the other day: IF Nc
Carthy's wild charges had re-
suited in the apprenhension-or
even the detection-of a single
proved spy, there might have
been a shadow Of excuse for
his methods but we have yet
to see one real contribution to
the safety or security of our
country for which he can fairly
take credit"
The answer is that if Sena-
tor Mccarthy had done moth
ing else but to force out Of
the State Department the few
who have been fired in recent
months or been compelled to
resign for disloyalty since he
began his crusade. he would be
entitled to much credit. But,
In addition to this. it was Nc

Carthy who led the fight in the
Senate against dropping the
charges which the Tydings COM
mittee 'whitewashed." The
Senate ordered another inves-
tigation. and any one who
wants to read what the Senate
Judiciary Committee wrote in
its report-which was approved
without a single opposition vote
he can get it by writing to
the Government Printing Office
in Washington, which has for
sale at a nominal cost the re-
port submitted to the Senate
on July S, 1852. by the McCar-
ran committee.
This report, written by emf
nent lawyers in the Senate
Republicans and Democrats
corroborates almost all the i'm
portant charges made by Nc
Carthy. It will be recalled that
Mccarthy said originally that
his crusade stood or fell on one
case in particular-and the
Senate committee now says of
that individual that he was
the conscious, articulate instru-
ment of the Soviet conspiracy"
While this report has received
little attention from the "left
wing" it has made a profound
impression on all who have
suspected that there is more to
the Communist issue than meets
the eye and that it cannot be
brushed of by just fuming
about "McCarthyism."
Extremists often use deplor-
able tactics and methods in
public affairs but extremists
sometimes serve a useful pur-
pose to alert us against evils,
especially when. as a conse-
quence of our lack of vigilance
about the Communist influence
inside our Government, China
has been lost to the free world
and more than 10000 Ameri-
can boys have had to shed their
blood in far-off Korea. The
Wisconsin election should make
General Eisenhower realize that
anti Communism Is a live issue
In America today.

Mccarthy and Jenner Symbolic
Important Victory Is for Eisenhower View That Democrats
Are Gulty and Should Be Fought in Any Way

They persuaded Gen. Eisen-
hover to indorse Senator Jen-
ner in Indiana and Senator
Mccarthy won big in Wisconsin
Immediately.
The improved prospects Of
the two men who attacked
Eisenhower's mentor, Gen.
Marshall, as all but a traitor
are the least important aspect
Of this news. If elected. they are
only two Senate votes.
The important victory is for
the point Of view which has pre-
vailed with Gen. Eisenhower.
The men who launched him and
won the Republican nomination
for him felt 1t was necessary to
repudiate the kind of Republi-
canism Of which Messrs. Nc
Carthy and Jenner are symbols.
Senator Taft and his supporters
argued that while the means
might sometimes be ugly, the
Democrats were morally guilty;
the important thing was to fight
them any way that worked.
They pointed to five States in
which communism or alleged
softneSs toward communism
had successfully been made the
major issues. The five victims:
Senators Pepper of Florida,

of North Carolina and Thomas

Constantine Brown:

Gov. Stevenson gave the blue
print Of his conception of for
eign policies at San Francisco
last Tuesday night. His views
on Asia attracted far more at
tention and interest than those
regarding Europe.
Gov. Stevenson has had only a
passing interest in foreign af-
fairs. In the short time he
served in the State Department
he played only minor role. He
is particularly inexperienced in
Asiatic problems. But Gov.
Stevenson is an intellectual and
a student. AS such he seems to
have absorbed the views of lib
eral experts on Asia, such as
Prof. Owen Lattimore'S "Solu-
tion in Asia" He appears con-
vinced that the present Commu-
mist strides in China and other
places on that vast continent are
due to communism's Offering
those people something that the
West does not. Gov. Stevenson
stated:
There is an important diff
ference between communism as
we view it and communism as
some Of the Asian peoples view
1t. When we think of commu-
nism we think of what we are
going to lose. When the Asian
peoples think of communism
they think of what they are GO
ing to gain. Communism has
not created the causes or the
forces behind Asia's vast up
heaval. 1t is attempting to give
direction to those forces"
This, of course. is a purely
intellectual and theoretical ap-
proach to the problem. The
fact is that until the U. S. S. r.
intervened directly in the affairs
Of the Asian people, we had not
been confronted with the threats
which face us today. 1t is true
that since the last war national
ism has taken roots in Asia and
has led to the shaking off of
subsection to the Western Euro
pean colonial powers. The
United States has assisted the
Asian peoples wholeheartedly.

Bio Vote Shows Anti-Wur FeeIinu
Left Wing Gets Shock at Primary Polls in Wisconsin
As McCorthy Rolls Up Half Million Majority

The ''left wing" which has
been trying for months to gloss
over and belittle Communist in
filtration in the United States
Government got a shock at the
polls in Wisconsin.
About 100000 persons in the
Republican Party gave Senator
Joseph Mccarthy. crusader
against communistic inflltration.
a vote of confidence. He polled
100000 more votes than all the
other Republican and Demo-
cratic aspirants for the sena-
torial nomination put together
"a remarkable majority. His
party majority was in excess Of
100000.
What is significant is that the
Wisconsin Senator did this with
a minimum Of campaigning,
while his opponent engaged in
a "talkathon" and aired on the
radio every bit of ammunition
available to him from all pos
Slble sources which had ganged
up in what appears to have been
the most sensational piece of

known in politics. It was par
ticipated in by left wing" groups

self were discredited. the at
tack was of such a vicious per-
Sonal nature that undoubtedly
the Wisconsin Senator benefited.
as often happens in such cases,
from what is called the mar
tyr vote" Senator Mccarthy
was recovering from an opera
tion but his opponents kept up
a bombardment even while he
was unable to campaign in his
own behalf.
Senator McCarthy's majority
was bigger than expected. and

Legion and various patriotic So
cietieS and other groups lined

ence in America got out much

crowds did not respond. Those
who have covered him realize
how he hates such GOODNESS; he
droops and becomes con-
fused. He has tried the harsh
attack and was cheered. Ap-
parently he likes it.
Doubtless it has been called
to his attention that while Sen
ator Mccarthy prevailed in a
landslide. the moderate Senator
Lodge Of Massachusetts,, who has
led the revolt against the Taft
influence in the party, is in Sc
rious trouble in Massachusetts,.
1t Is, OF course. always hard for
the inexperienced to fight men
OF strong will who know exactly
what they want.
Gen. Eisenhower has never
warmed up to the press which
has been discussing frankly his
many problems. He will not
like them any better when he
reads that correspondents trav-
cling with him-most Of whose
papers strongly favor his elec-
tion-responded as follows to a
poll Of their own political pref
erenceS:

open and large scale rebellions.
These rebellions are insti-
gated, not by Western agents
as Peiping often asserts, but
by despair and hunger among
millions of Chinese. The mur-
der and expulsion Of thousands
Of missionaries and old China
hands is due not only to the
bloodthirstiness of the Commu-
mist officials but because their
mere presence reminds the peo-
pie of the good old days when
they were able to get at least
half bowl Of rice. The refusal
Of tens of thousands Of "in-
doctrinated" Chinese prisoners
of war in South Korean COM
pounds to return to their viii
lagos speaks louder than all
the assumption Of the intel
lectual policymakers" that Com
munism satisfies the national
iSt urges of the Asians.
Gov. Stevenson also men
toned earlier in his speech the
word co-existence-a word the
Kremlin always pulls out Of its
trick box every time it consid-
ers a temporary peace offensive
necessary. He describes it as
"waging the contest between
freedom and tyranny by peace
full means. 1t involves nego-
tiation and adjustment-com-
promise but never appease-
ment." And he added emphat-
ically: II will never shrink from
these if they advance the world
toward secure peace" Presi-
dent Truman said the same
thing in 1948 in San Francisco
: in a less intellectual manner
when he remarked: II like old
joe"
We have tried this "co-exist-
ence" with the Kremlin since
the end Of the war and up to
the Korean aggression. It paid
dividends only in American and
Allied blood spilled in Korea
and in a rearmament program
which may break the taxpayers
back.

Lowell WeNett:

Well. let's see what we learn
from the grievous behavior of
Wisconsin's free and independ-
ent voters on Tuesday. We
learn again that the heart of
the American citizen moves him
sometimes in mysterious ways
and we learn again that the
key to a closed mind is very
hard to find. More practically,
in this campaign year. we learn
all over that political purges-
by outsiders-are seldom If ever
successful. The lesson given
President Roosevelt in 1888
when he attempted to read out
of the party certain elected
representatives thereof has now
been given to thousands of good
people in all parts Of the coun-
try.
The widespread clamor
throughout the United States
against Senator Mccarthy sure
ly helped to close the minds of
his own constituents. causing
them to line up behind him.
The clamor against the mischie-
vous and irresponsible young
politician was. Of course, well
justified. He has outraged the
national sense of decency. And.
although the people Of any given
State are prone to forget it. a
United States Senator is elected
to serve the Nation. not merely
the State. The effects Of Nc
Carthyism are felt from coast
to coast. not only in Wiscon-
sin, and the demand for Nc
Carthy's retirement naturally
became a national demand.
Wisconsin'S response is. in
effect, who are you to tell us
what to do?"

withdrawal from the race and
Senator Taft's defeat in Chi
cago. They had been expecting
that an Eisenhower Stevenson
campaign would be fought on q
higher level.
It may be that Gen. Eisen-
hover, though he has stuck his
toe into the muddy waters, will
not plunge in. Democrats are not
today counting on it. They be-
lieve they will increasingly be
confronted with what they call
a "big doubt campaign" and
they will plan accordingly.
They admit no question that
Gov. Stevenson can handle it.
The national committee will also
bank heavily on President Tru-
man, who will hit the road late
this month.
It is still a fact that Demo-
cratic complacency has been
rudely jolted by the current pri-
maries, including the Texas re-
volt. So far they have been
coasting. Many of their princi-
pal orators have been on vaca-
tion; Senator Kefauver has
taken a holiday abroad: Vice
President Barkley has insisted
he cannot speak for the party
