Organization Of World For
Peace Without War Belief
Voiced By President Truman
' By ERNEST Bi VACOARO
CHIQASO, July 20 ( AP ) President Truman said yester
eley that "tensions and conflicts appear to be increasing" in areas
controlled by communist tyranny. He,said he is optimistic the
world may yet be organized tor peace without a war.
Communism may have 'temporary triumphs," Mr. Truman
said, "but in the long run it must either destroy Itself or abandon
its attempt to force other nations into its pattern."
Mr. lTuman new Mere to ao
dress the Diamond jubilee Shrine
convocation) and made it an oc
casion for a major speech on for
eign policy.
He pledged this nation to con
tinue its "great crusade for
feace"., with action along . two
ines: ..
1. Maintaining a strong and
stable American economy "as
the primary source of strength of
the , free world." He said "we
must make all our plans, private
and public, in such a way as to
give us more jobs and more out
put." 2. Take steps to "Insure that
the hard-won economic recovery
of other free nations does not re
vert to stagnation and despair."
"One of the most foolish things
we could do right now," Mr. Tru
man said, "would be to slash our
appropriations for European recovery-
If we did that, we would
be deliberately throwing away
gains for peace and freedom that
we have painfully made. Only the
communists would profit if we
took such a short-s i g h t c d
course."
Mr. , Truman's - address was
broadcast by major networks and
was short-waved around the
world. '
Not one? in' his prepared texW
did tie mention rcussia Dy name.
But he filled it with repeated
clear references to the men' In
the Kremlin.
Faith Stronger Than Foroe
On the possibility of war, the
president said: ,-4
"Some people would have us
believe that war is inevitable be
tween the nations which are de
voted to our concept of interna
tional "organization and the con
cept which now bears the name
of communism. This is not the
case. "

ward the future, because I be
lieve in the superior attraction
for men's minds and hearts of
the democratic principles which
have been tried and tested In free
nations, and which are now win
ning . the allegiance of men
throughout the world.
"In the battle for men's minds,
our faith is more appealing, more
dynamic, and stronger than any
totalitarian force. The world
longs for the kind of tolerance
and mutual adjustment which is
represented by democratic prin
ciples." The President said that those
"who rule by arbitrary power"
in other nations do not under
stand the slow processes . by
which United States foreign pol
icy is formed and do not realize
"the strength" behind it.
Predicts Treaty Adoption
it is strong, ne said, Decause
American foreign policy deci
sions are the decisions of the peo
ple and not of the government
alone.
That was true of the decision
to back the United Nations and
to launch the European recovery
program, Mr. Truman said.
He predicted the North Atlan
tic Security alliance will be rat
ified because, he said, it also has
the support of the people. The
Senate Is to vote Thursday on
Xhis treaty linking the United
states ana iree western Euro
pean nations in an alliance.

said he had the shakes
after this experience with a
rattlesnake:
Norman and Ted Langford
were out trailing cattle in t h e
Missouri brakes near here. They
stopped for a rest and stretched
out in the grass to cool off. A
and when they looked up, there
was a rattlesnake between them.
Norman rolled out of the
snake's range, but Langford froze
and lay still. The rattler slithered
up to Langford, looked him over
and turned and went away.

Other planks in the platform
the congressman could support or
oppose, as he wished. And he
would likewise be a free agent in
all lawmaking beyond the limits
of his party's expressed program.
His chief guides in that area
would be his general political
bent, his wisdom, his integrity
and his special interests.
This system would tend to bal
ance political responsibility,
and perhaps to make our parties
more effective instruments for
governing.
Lawmaker Faces Woe In Attempting
Middle Course In His Activities
. By BRUCE BIOSSAT
How much party regularity should an intelligent lawmaker In
Congress be expected to demonstrate?
If he goes down the line for his party 100 per cent, critics may
refer to him contemptuously as a "rubber stamp." On the other
hand, if he pursues a wholly Independent course he opens himself
to charges of party disloyalty. N
Is there any middle path that
might permit him to recognize
the realities of politics and still
show some free-thinking states
manship? :
It Is the fashion in some cir
cles to dismiss party programs
and platforms as worthless. Un
doubtedly they have been on
many occasions. But that does
not mean they always are or
should be.
When the people elect a Presi
dent or a Congress, they are
voting for some sort of program,
even if only vaguely. True, they
often seem to pick a President
because they trust him as a man,
but implicit in such a choice is
a. belief he will produce a satis-
lactory program.
Political parties developed not
merely to give the people a choice
among men but clear alternatives
in national policy. If a party
means anything, it must be de
voted to the attempt to carry
out the policies it stands for.
Therefore, it seems entirely fit
ting that a definite measure of
party regularity should be re
quired of a lawmaker. How else
can a President or a group of
party leaders translate programs
into law?
To achieve results party chief
tains naturally need a working
majority in Congress. A Presi
dent is stymied if the opposition
holds the edge. The opposition
then will try to enact its own
program over his objections.
But it a fresiaent aoes nave
party numbers in his favor he
can enact his policies so long as
his party members in Congress
remain loyal. As we have sug
gested, the question is how much
loyalty they should offer.
The best plan we nave seen
for drawing the line, on party
regularity is this:
Let a party caucus decide what
five or six proposals are crucial
to the execution of its program.
The leaders then would indicate
that these "must items and these
alone were to be regarded as a
test of party loyalty.
Failure to support them would
place a lawmaker in peril of los
ing patronage and other party
favors.
Extra Millions Slashed
From Military Items
WASHINGTON, July 20 OF)
Economy-minded senators had a
pleasant $108,000,000 surprise
Monday.
They learned from clerks of the
senate appropriations committee
they had slashed military spend
ing for this year by $1,118,000,000
below the $15,908,000 previously
voted by the house.
Senator Elmer Thomas (D.
Okla.), who led the economy ef
fort, first announced the cutback
as $1,010,000,000 on a basis of a
quick computation by these same
clerks.
The extra $108,000,000 was dis
covered over the weekend after
hours of checking the hundreds
of individual army, navy and air
force items voted by the senate
group against identical house
items.
