Democratic Hopes in Minnesota
Party Beats Drums for Stevenson to Put Ticket Across
But Fear Senator Thye's Opponent Won't Make It

MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. 3d.
Democrats in this State have
little real hope of beating big,
honest Ed Thye, a former Gov
ernor, for reelection to the
Senate. ''Nobody's mad at Ed"
they mourn.
What they are trying hard
to do is to beat the drums so

Humphrey, will be remembered

fight at the national conven-
ton.
When, later, he arose and
nominated Senator Humphrey,
one reporter declared: "He can
talk. I thought all he could say
was point of order "
A big enough Stevenson-Free-
man vote, comparable to the
nearly quarter-of-a-million plu-
ralities achieved here in 1948 by
both President Truman and
Senator Humphrey, could con-
ceivably rescue Senator Thye's

Nixon Case Has Assumed Abnormal Proportions

Ever. since the Republican
Convention we have been bearish
about the G. o. P.'s chances.
We have been unable to see
how a powerful party, long in
power, could be defeated with
out a fight over real issues.
Gen. Eisenhower's backers
held the Public Relations Coun-
sells view that in ike" they
had a product with such "sales
appeal" that they didn't need
an issue. Actually, by selecting
Ike they consciously intended to
avoid the big issue. Senator
Taft, they were afraid. would
raise it.
The issue, Of course, is whether
we shall continue to commit
ourselves to permanent war in
the name of peace, resisting ag-
gression from whatever quarter
until the whole world in some
millehial future is organized for
permanent peace under enforce
able law. That Is the Democratic
foreign policy.
The Issue Is Korea and all the
implications of. policy involved
in Korea.
We don't say the q. o. P. could
have won on this issue. We say
that only on this issue could
the Republicans hsve waged q
strong fight and conducted q
real public debate. They would
have been charged with being
"isolationist." We happen to
think that millions of Americans
are not appalled, by the idea Of
our iSolating. ourselves from
futile wars, waged without effec-
tive Allies. in places picked by
our enemies. We also think that

presently unrepresented citizen
who is against permanent war in
the name Of peace.

to the fact that President Tru-
man took full responsibility for
cutting the budget Of the mill
tary prior to Korea. AS a
consequence, by June, 1850. the
Navy was in large part put "in
mothballs," there were. no
heavy-bomber forces and no
marines in the Far East. and
no ships to carry an expedi-
tionary force from Japan while
occupation troops, with equip
ment only for peace-time job,
were on duty there.
Under these circumstances,
because neither the United
States nor its allies had done
anything from January till
June, 1850, when the Korean
aggression came, the United
States was required to bear the
full brunt of the burden. That's
the tragic mistake Of our times.
American leadership, insofar as
getting help from the allies is
concerned, has since failed.
More than 100000 boys have
shed their blood.
It was essential, Of course, to
resist aggression when it came
in June, 1850, but the Presi-
dent and Secretary Of State,
by their previous policies and
open announcements of our "de-
fense perimeter" as well as the
withdrawal Of our naval forces
from the Far East for budget
ary reasons, made things easy
for the aggressor.
More than 5000 American
boys have been killed and more
than 10000 Americans have
been wounded since the So
called truce" talks began in
June. 1851. The Communists
have successfully prevented the
United Nations from applying
maximum force while q bleed
ing war of attrition goes on
indefinitely. About 10000 to
$4,000 American boys are be-
ing drafted every month. Gov.
Stevenson says it was a mistake
to have crossed the 38th Paral-
lei in October, 1850, which
means that, since the S8th
Parallel is admittedly no line
OF defense, American boys would
have had to stand up against
Communist hordes without a
chance to pursue the enemy and
repel his aggression.
That's the war mess Of Tru-
man and Acheson, and the
further mess II Stevenson's an
nounced policy ever goes into
effect.

The professional politicians Of
his party must be shaking their
heads sadly over Adlai Steven
sons latest shattering of politi-
cal tradition. Bad enough that
he should take to the stump
and tell precisely where he
stands on the big and trouble
some issues, leaving no loop
holes for his listeners to fill
in with wishful thinking. Bad
enough to assume the American
people prefer facts to the old
fashioned corn on which they
have been raised. Bad enough
to credit them with sense Of
humor. Very bad, indeed, to tell
the American Legion that, in
his opinion, it is not wholly
above criticism and to tell a labor
rally that, with all its faults,
the Taft-Hartley Act is not a
"slave law" Not so good to
admit to the farmers that the
Republican Party did not invent
the grasshopper plague and the
chestnut blight.
Maybe there is something to
be said for frankness Of that
kind. Maybe the voters, or a
majority Of them, are tired Of
being kidded by ofdce-seekers
and will respond with their
votes to a man who refrains
from indulging in the practice.
It has been a gamble, Of course,
but it has caused the candidate
to emerge from relative OBJ

fascinating political figure in
his own right.
But to expose to the public

The biggest issue in the cam

than 100000 American boys
have been killed or wounded in
a war that has lasted more
than two years.
Gen. Eisenhower has charged
that Secretary of State Acheson,
by his speech Of January, 1850,
virtually invited Communist
aggression in Korea. The Sec

on this point:
Should such an armed at
tack occur-one hesitates to say
where such an attack could
come from-the initial reliance
must be on the people attacked

munists, who for reasons Of
their own decided to start ag-
gression in Korea, knowing full
well that, even If the United
Nations did resist. they didn't
have the forces at hand to
bring about a decision.
If the Secretary of State, after
a withdrawal Of American
forces from the Far East. was
relying on the q. N. to protect
that area. what steps, if any,
did he take in January, 1850, to
mobilize the members of the
United Nations under the
commitments" to which he
refers? None whatever. In fact,
the United States Government
itself made no preparations to
defend Korea because the
Joint Chiefs Of Staff, including
Gen. Eisenhower. at the time
was told that it wasn't American
diplomatic policy to protect
Korea but that it was up to the
U. N.
The Republican nominee for
the presidency. who was then
chief of staff of the Army,
recommended in 1949 against
defense Of Korea when the ques-
ton was put to the JCS.
It is important to note what
the question vast was asked
whether, in the event Of general
war, Korea should be defended,
The answer, Of course. was then
and still is negative. # a world
war broke out tomorrow, Korea
couldn't be defended. because
the military forces and supplies
now going there would be more
urgently needed elsewhere.
But when the Joint Chiefs of
Staff render their advice on a
military question, why does the
Secretary Of State feel obligated
to make such military informa-
tion public? Since when does
the United States Government
tell potential enemies what it
will or will not defend? Some.
Of the Democratic speakers have
said with vehemence that the
advice not to defend Korea, as
announced by Secretary Ache
son. was a military decision"
But since when does the mill.
tary" make decisions on foreign
policy? The whole Macarthur
controversy made clear that the
civilian authority accepts and
wants to take full responsibility
for making foreign policy.
There is a further phase to
the colossal blunder which the
administration made. It relates

are not unmindful of a certain
amount of shrewdness accom-
panying Adlai's self-exposure.
When he announced that he
and John Sparkman were going
to reveal all concerning their
personal incomes, he said he
thought every candidate for
high public Office" should do
the same. Which put it squarely
up to Candidate Eisenhower.
Gen. Eisenhower's income in
the past 10 years is understood
to have been much greater than
Stevenson's $500. 900. but his in
come tax payments are believed
to have been much less than
Stevenson's $211,9 $50. There was
the year, for example. when he
wrote the book Crusade In Eu-

Associated Press, furnished the
information for the published
volume" He is reputed to have

tanned a ruling from the In

money could be called a "cap-
ital gain" instead of income,
which meant that he could keep
