has been attacked and weakened by
the Republicans in CONGRESS-. The
recent pressure of West Coast Re
publicans to place a tariff on tuna
imports from Japan and Peru is a
case in point.
Again in San Francisco he said:
1T would seem TO me that the Re
publican critics could better demon
strate the good faith of their con-
Germ for Asia by doing something
about India today rather than talk
ing about China yesterday. Tear
full and interminable post mortems
about China will save no souls for
democracy in the rest of Asia. the
Near East and Africa"
The Point " program. technical
assistance to help other countries to
HELM themselves and to alleviate the
conditions which breed communism,
has been strongly supported by Ste
venson And vet. the Republican
record on which the opposition can
didate stands showed that 809s of
the party members in Congress vot-
ed AGAINST the program.
On civil rights, Stevenson has
strongly urged the Republican legis-
lature in Illinois to pass an FEPC
law with teeth. He has fought con-
sistently for such law. At the
time of the Cicero violence against
Negro family moving into an
apartment house in the area. the
Governor promptly dispatched the
Illinois National Guard when 1t ap-
peared that local authorities were
either unable or unwilling to cope
with the violence.
On communism another of the
big issues" of the day Stevenson's
record is clear We Nisei know from
personal experience the danger and
the evil of blanket charges. 1t wasn't
long ago that we were told "All Nj
sci are spies-all Nisei are disloyal"
AS Stevenson so ably stated in Ma
Olson, Wisconsin, the home state of
the man who is so reminiscent of
those who were responsible for eva
cuation: 81 intend to continue root
ing out of government and keeping
out of government, every person of
doubtful loyalty. I disagree square
ly. however, with those who think
the way to do this is by firing a
sawedoff shotgun into a whole
group of public servants if there is a
rumor that one among them is evil ="
AS Governor of Illinois. Stevenson
demonstrated unequivocal opposi-
ton to corruption in any form. Upon
becoming governor of that state, he
changed the whole tone and atmos-
phere of government He will do
the same in Washington where he
will be able to attract men of the
highest caliber Truman's cronies
will leave with their benefactor. Ste
venson has demonstrated his indie
pendence by selecting assistants and
a chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee who have nothing
in common with Truman's White
House guard.
As the st. Louis Post Dispatch
in its editorial supporting Stevenson
so ably put it: 1--WE believe Adlai
Stevenson will give us change where
change is required, in cleaning out
scandals and corruption. i'm re-esta-
blishing the dignity of government,
in applying to national expendi-
lures his well-prOved virtue of being
"A tight man with a penny AT the
same time, we believe Stevenson will
give us continuity i'm those policies
that deserve continuity, such as the
program of social welfare. cOnserva-
ton of natural resources for the be-

rican leadership of the free world in
the united effort to stop communism
without a most deadly war"
1t is for these reasons that I sup
