ern Europe have in tackling the
rearmament question seriously.
Mr.. Bevan cannot be described
as a Soviet sympathizer or
pinko. He is as good an Eng
liShman as any Conservative.
He dislikes America not because
1t represents to him the essence
Of capitalism but because he is
convinced that we are leading
the world on the road to war
from which neither Britain nor
her associates will ever recover.
He is certain that a "sane pol
icy' provided by the union of
all thinking Socialists through
out Western Europe could bring
into Office governments "actu-
ally representing the point of
view of the people and strongly
supported by them" 1t would
be the first important step. he
believes. toward European con-
federation based on genuine So
cialiSm. And this newly created
Third Force, to which he ex-
poets most European peoples
would rally, could by its sincere
policies bridge the gap between
West and East. regardless of
how the American people may
feel about it.
Similar thoughts were ex-
pressed forcefully by the late
Ramsay Macdonald at the
height of World War I. Later he
and his successors attempted to
put into effect these ideals with
the slogan Peace in Our Time"
Such laudable ideals did not
prevent the Second World War,
not because the peoples wanted
it but because a bunch of power
crazy dictatorS unleaShed it.
And Stain is even worse than
Hitler and his Italian and
japanese associates. But while
political movements will receive
little attention here during the
intense electoral campaign, Mr..
Bevan hopes to accomplish
much before next November.

Politicians Do Play Politics
But Senator Toft Refuses to Condone Such Conduct
In New Jersey-Other Confusion on Campaign Front

All is confusion on the politi-
cal front.
In New Jersey, Senator Taft
has picked up his marbles and
refused to play any longer. And
no wonder. Right in the middle
of the game the politicians
started playing politics. The
Republican Governor announced
that he likes Ike. AS Senator
Taft understood the game, the
Governor was not supposed to
tell whom he likes because that
could influence the votes of
other Republicans. It's a matter
of principle with Mr.. Taft, and
although he hasn't said what
he would have done if the Gov
ernor had announced himself
for Taft, it can be asSumed-if
you are Simple-mihded-that
he would be protesting just as
angrily.
In that connection, don't be
surprised if the Ohio Senator
comes out with ringing de-
nunciation of Senator Owen
Brewster of Maine It has just
been revealed that Mr.. Brew
Ster as chairman of the Re
publican Senatorial Campaign
Committee two years ago was
guilty of conduct as odd as that
of the New Jersey Governor.
The Senate committee is sup
posed to keep out of party con-
tests, but Chairman Brewster
found a way to get around this
suppoSition. Richard Nixon in
California and Milton Young in
North Dakota needed money to
finance their primary fights. So
Senator Brewster borrowed
$4,000 from his bank and gave
it to friend, who then gave
$4,000 each to Messrs. Nixon
and Young. When they we're
nominated the campaign COM
mittee gave them each $4,000,
with which they repaid Brew
ster'S friend and Brewster's
friend repaid Senator Brewster.
The friend was Henry Grune-
valid, Washington mystery man.
whose iricome-tax returns are
now being examined by a House
committee.
Other confusion among Re-
publicans results from some
cryptic remarks by the general
in Paris and the general in the
Waldorf. Gen. Eisenhower said
he was being forced to re-ex-
anime his past decision in the
light of the number Of voters
who are voting for him. This

ment was due from him. So he
made one-too long, for this
space-that leaves some people
thinking he could be persuaded
to accept the Republican nomi-
nation and some thinking he
could not. Could be the general
is convinced that the Taft
Eisenhower contest will result
in a draw, with neither able to
win. and that he might as well
keep himself available as a COM
promise selection.
Among the Democrats, Presi-
dent Truman has restored his
position to complete unpredict-
ability by indicating rather
testify that National Chairman
Mckinney had no authority for
suggesting that his decision to
run or not run will depend on
the progress of the truce talks
in Korea. This didn't lessen the
Democratic confusion. Indeed it
raised a new question: What'll
the Democratic chairman do
now?

It's loss would be more than
compensated. say the organizers
Of the Third Force, by the great
saving II. money and blood to
the French people. After all.
they argue, Britain lost India
after the war. It's present eco
nomic plight is due, in the opin-
ion Of these Socialists, less to
that loss than to the rearma-
ment expenditures imposed by
Americas "u1.~arranted" fear
of the U. S. S. r.
That the Western coalition
for defense is unpopular with
the rank and file of the peoples
of Western Europe is evident to
most unbiased observers who
have returned to this country.
1t is true that the governments
IN power are willing to do their
best to live up to the pledges
they gave us in 1949 when they
started drawing on the United
States Treasury for rearma-
ment purposes. But the citizens
OF these countries seem con-
vinced that the risk of a third
world war would be less if they
remained unarmed than if they
followed our urgingS to get
ready to meet the Red on
Slaught. This attitude is demon
strated by the little progress
which had been made in the
NATO rearmament plans.
1t is difficult to convince the
man in the street in France.
Italy and the Benelux coun-
tries that even if the goal of
Is combat divisions by the end
OF 1852 is reached these would
be able to resist the ITS Soviet
divisions. And the Europeans
who have suffered from air
bombardments are not con-
vinced that the Western air
force could protect their ancient
cities against the reported 20,-
900 modern Soviet planes. These
fears are reflected in the diff

is interpreted by many as mean
ing that he may come home
after all and join the Fuller
brush brigade in a personal
canvass for votes. That is ex-
citing news, if the interpreta-
ton is correct. It would give
the country an opportunity to
ask the general where he stands
on a lot of issues. Does he, for
example, stand shoulder to
shoulder with Senators Taft and
Mccarthy on the issue of Nc
Carthyism? A lot of the in
dependent voters, on whom the
Eisenhower managers are
counting so heavily. would like
to know. OF course, he might
be able to dodge it, as Gov.
Warren and Harold StaSsen-
but not Senator Taft - have
succeeded thus far in doing in
their Wisconsin campaigning.
Gen. Macarthur, on the eve
of his departure for q speech
in Mississippi, seemed to think
some kind of a public state
