WASHINGTON R,-Some of the
slipperiest words in the language
keep bobbing up in discussion of
the presidential campaign: left,
right, center, conservative, reac-
tionary.
The trouble is getting any two
people to agree on their meaning.
To an American whose emphasis
on property right and whose regard
for civil liberties is not acute, un-
less his own are in danger. the
Communists are on the extreme
left because they want government
ownership of property.
But to the man who considers
freedom for the individual to in.
quire and criticize. the most price
less possession of mankind, the
Communist police state-where the
individual is nothing-is on the ex-
treme reactionary right.
And Stain, who would like you
to believe him quite progressive.
may look upon the Democrats and
Republicans as really only one, big
ultra-conservative party under two
labels.
What time can do 10 a viewpoint
Is shown in the attitude toward
some of the New Deal legislation,

! like social security, the wage-hour
law, and IVA.
Even in the New Deal hey-day
some people thought Franklin d.
Roosevelt was strictly a highly
conservative country squire who
was merely trying to bring the
country abreast of the time with a
few mild remedies against dis
aster.
But FDR and his whole New
Deal were looked upon as national
disasters. all by themselves. by
those who were allergic to change.
They called the New Deal social
ism, which is another slippery
word.
Now both political parties accept
the New Deal legislation as some
thing not in dispute at all in this
campaign.
And both Gov. Stevenson and
Gen. Eisenhower have pictured
themselves as pretty conservative
fellows, both claiming the middle
of the road as their special prov
ince.
As the campaign goes on,
though. Stevenson as the result of
pressure or developing conviction,
is taking positions closer to those
Of President Truman while almost
painfully trying to show he's not in
