Wallace s Holy Crusade
Henry A. Wallace has repudiated his purported original
intention of being a "good sport" and going along with the
administration and in his radio address Friday evening ral
lied his followers in a holy war on President Truman's for
eign policy which means probably a final crack-up of the
Roosevelt New Deal-communist-democratic coalition. Yet
only a few days ago Wallace was advocating the purge of
those democrats who did not go along with the administra
tion. Perhaps he meant the purge of those who did not
follow Wallace as the democratic Messiah.
Wallace's prescription for peace consists in the appease
ment of Russia by permitting her to establish spheres of
influence and Russianize the world which though a "holy
duty" to him, appeals to no one but the commies who take
orders from the Kremlin, pitifully few in numbers but loud
in clamor, who follow the termite tactics of boring from
within to disrupt the unity of the nation and make it ripe
for the turmoil of leftist revolution.
The Byrnes' policy, which has been approved by congress,
the president, both major political parties and by the people
generally has been directed toward preventing Europe from
being divided into two irreconcilable camps separated by "an
iron curtain" ; towards reasserting a vital American interest
in all parts of Europe and the Near and Far East to carry
out the principles of the Atlantic Charter; towards using
every proper diplomatic pressure available to check an ex
pansion of Russian imperialism in these areas at the expense
of the elimination of such democracy as exists in them ; and
toward allying ourselves to this extent and for this purpose
with the British people, whose interests in this matter are
parallel to our own. Wallace dissents from these policies to
play the Russian game. ,
Wallace's sin is the betrayal of the administration of which
he was a part and keynoting the destruction of national
unity so vital to attaining the above objectives, all of which
were originated and advocated by President Roosevelt.
At the Paris peace conference, the American delegation's
big job was to convince a skeptical world that the United
States was in earnest and would see the United Nations
program through and not run out as we did after the first
world war and leave helpless countries victims to the ag
gressor. We have been a question mark on the international
horizon. But our popular backing of the United Nations,
the bi-partisan report of the administration policy and
Byrnes' strong stand and his Stuttgart speech had about
convinced Europe that this time America would play the role
of a great power in peace as well as war.
Then along comes Wallace's bomb to blast hopes of our
unity especially as it was announced as approved by the
president. Consequently Wallace had to be fired to convince
the world that United States policy was not wavering and
that the country is solidly behind Byrnes.
Anna O'Hare McCormick, who is reporting the Paris peace
conference for New York Times, writing of the effect of
the Wallace statement, says:
It Is a pity that Mr. Wallace has not taken part In the peace
parleys that began last September in London. The experience of
negotiating with the Russians would certainly add to the educa
tion of Mr. Wallace. As a sincere and ardent believer in elemen
tary human liberties perhaps he wouldn't be so ready to abandon
American claims to speak in their behalf if he could interview on
the ground the peoples in eastern Europe. If he were In Paris at
this moment he would appreciate that rocking the boat as the tide
turns is the last way to further an American agreement with
Russia and the cause of peace.
Let's Hope It Is Really Settled
Circuit Judge George Duncan has sustained a contention
frequently made by (his newspaper, that members of the
legislature are not eligible to and cannot legally simultane
ously hold jobs in the administrative or judicial branches of
the state government. He has handed down a decision that
Senators Merle Chessman and W. H. Strayer, along with
Rep. Earl Hill cannot legally hold positions on the highway
commission, the board of geology and minerals and the state
fish commission, respectively, and at the same time retain
their seats in the legislature.
Judge Duncan's decision sustains a common sense construc
tion of Section I, Article II which reads in part:
The powers of the government shall be divided into three sepa
rate departments the legislative, the executive, including the
administrative, and the judicial; and no person charged with
official duties under one of these departments shall exercise any
of the functions of another, except as in this constitution expressly
provided.
What the supreme court may hold is a different matter
entirely. Several years ago it declined to take jurisdiction
in the case of Senator Delmore Lessard, whose right to occupy
a senate seat was challenged because ho had accepted a re
munerative position as atorney for a state board in the
administrative branch of the government, the high court
holding that it had no jurisdiction under Section 11 of Article
IV, reading: "Kach house, when assembled, shall choose its
own officers, judge of the election, qualifications, and returns
Of its own members, . . . ."
For the sake of avoiding further controversies of this sort
it is sincerely to be hoped that the supreme court, if an appeal
is taken from Judge Duncan's decision, will definitely deter
mine from a judicial standpoint the question at issue.
Foxy John Lewis
John L. Lewis, guardian and spokesman for some half
million coal miners, this week added his voice to those who
are beseeching the price decontrol board for removal of meats
from commodities now under price control. He contends that
by wiping out price ceilings meat supplies in the retail mar
kets will return to normal and will be available to his miners
and thereby make it possible for them to remain on their jobs.
; The foxy labor leader does not threaten to call his men
out on a strike. He simply said that "grave unrest is spread
ing throughout all the mining areas, because miners cannot
perform the laborious and hazardous work" of producing
coal on a diet of cereals and vegetables. Meat supplies have
dropped to such a low level in parts of the soft coal area that
the shortage has already reached "famine proportions," he
told the board. Lard and fats for cooking are also in ex
tremely short supply, Lewis said.
i Lewis made no mention of the manner in which' uncon
trolled meat could be expected to soar in price, merely inti
mating that the meat proteins were vital to the physical
needs of mine workers. His method of meeting skyrocketing
prices when they come would be to call his mine workers out
On strike for wages adequate to meet "the rising cost of
living." Someone would have to pay for the inflationary
spiral of prices but, leave it to John L. Lewis, it won't be the
coal miners.

Dynamic Religion Hundreds of clergymen and laymen are here
in Philadelphia (where this is being written) from all the states
of the United States and from Hawaii, Alaska, Philippines, China
and the West Indies. They are here not only to take care of the
routine business of a great religious body, but under the guidance
of the Holy Spirit to determine
the policies and program of the
church for the years ahead.
Interest in religion is not dead
when distinguished laymen
from all over the United States
and some foreign lands will for
the most part at their own per
sonal expense leave their busi
nesses and travel vast distances
to further the program of re
ligion. There were times in the past
when church conventions were
routine and drab affairs. They
were often handled in a man
ner which indicated a lack of
appreciation of the importance
of decisions. Today it is differ
ent. We are in an age when lay
men have come to realize that
we desperately need what re
ligion has to offer to help sta
bilize a world in confusion and
distrust, politically, economical
ly and socially.
Politically, even the United
Nations organization is but
machinery created for world
peace. The machinery must be
motivated by the power of re-
ligion. Economically, the world

that no peoples will be per
mitted to become economic
slaves to other peoples. Social
ly, we have an alarming social
condition to cope with. We are
told that during the past year
there has been one divorce for
every three marriages in the
United States. If religion can
not curb the disintegration of
family life surely nothing else
will.
When religion is needed so
much in this age of confusion
and instability we can thank
God for the sincere interest
manifested at this time by our
distinguished laymen. While
this convention in Philadelphia
is the only one I have been
privileged to attend this year,
reports from other church bo

them.
We need not feel discouraged
about religion today when we
see it given such impetus by
determined and consecrated
men. Our great need now is to
have more such men.

It's Always Fair Weather
Minneapolis, Minn. U.R
Delegates to the 72nd annual
convention of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union
sang songs today about beer and
water.
The song about beer went:
"What's the matter with beer,
sir, alcohol;
"Makes the drinkers so queer,
sir, alcohol;
"Yet the brewers would make
us think
"Beer is really a temperance
drink.
"What's the matter with beer,
sir, alcohol!"
The water song went:
"For the finest drink we
know, we know,
"The finest drink we know,
"When we're thirsty as can
be,
"Is sparkling H20."
There was another song
about glasses, which went:
"At horn, abroad, hf da or
night,
"In country or hi town,
"When asked to drink we'll
smile and turn
"Our glasses upside down."
It was entitled, "When Asked
to Drink," and was sung to the
tune of "Auld Lang Syne," a
traditional drinking song.
The foregoing songs are pret
ty, but we doubt if any of them
will ever entirely replace
"Sweet Adeline."

Salem, Ores. Auz. 11, Sep. I, It, 11. U
The Wallace episode has re
sulted in a good deal of bandy
ing about of the phrase "get
tough with Russia" which was
discussed by the secretary of
commerce in the explosive Ma
dison Square Garden speech
that now has resulted in his
resignation from the cabinet.
Mr. Wallace employed that
expression when he declared'
that the United States in deal
ing with the Soviet union was
reckoning with a force which
cannot be handled successfully
by a "get tough with Russia"
policy. He said that "the tough
er we get, the tougher the Rus
sians will get."
Such colorful representations
travel fast and far, and we are
likely to hear much more about
this one. It therefore should be
noted now and well that the
United States government nev
er has promulgated a "get tough
with Russia" policy. What it
has done is to lay down a for
eign policy of firmness and in
any language there's a lot of
difference between toughness
and firmness.
Middle Course Possible
Fortunately there is this mid
dle course of firmness. Uncle
Sam doesn't have to choose be
tween a "tough" foreign policy
and a "soft" one. If he did, he
would have to be "tough," be
cause these are hard days and
British Prime Minister Cham
berlain demonstrated conclu
sively in 1938 that appeasement
as a policy doesn't pay. Ap
peasement died at Munich
where England, Italy and
France handed Hitler little
Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland
on a platter and thereby en
couraged him to embark on con
quest of Europe.
As a matter of fact, the last
thing in the world which Mos
cow would appreciate would be
a "soft" policy. Russia isn't
soft itself and despises softness
in others. The Soviet deals' in
direct action, and respects no
thing less.
Therefore Uncle Sam's policy
is one of firmness, which he
adapts to the circumstances in
which he finds himself. Unhap
pily the circumstances fre
quently are difficult because
the Russians are distrustful of
America. They regard the Unit
ed States as the keystone of
capitalism anathema to com
munism. And Moscow looks
upon much of the rest of the
western world in the same
light.
That's why a lot of observers
think Winston Churchill was
hollering down a rain-barrel at
Zurich day before yesterday
when he urged a partnership
between France and Germany
as the first step in creating a
United States of Europe whose
"friends and sponsors" would
include both Russia and Ameri
ca. Suspicion Is Basis
Europe is divided Into two
camps the Moscow - dominat
ed Slav bloc and the western
countries. It will remain so un
til the suspicions are removed
between Moscow and the "ca
pitalistic" nations. The Russian
controlled newspaper Night Ex
press, of Berlin, said Church
ill's proposal was just another
attempt at bloc building and
"strengthening his front for a
third world war." Distrust!
So the present task is to en
gender a feeling of trust be
tween these two divisions for
the distrust is on both sides.
We already have an excellent
medium through which to work
at least the best medium
which could be devised at this
time and that is the United
Nations.
The Big Three America,
Russia and Britain all have
reiterated their faith in the UN
as a peace organization within
recent months, and have pledg
ed their support to it. There's
only one thing to do, and that
is to keep on feeding the major
problems to the UN to be iron
ed out.

Pickets Leave
Willow Run
Detroit, Sept. 21 VP) Pickets
of AFL construction workers
ere withdrawn from the big
Willow Run plant of Kaiser-Fra-zer
Corp. today after settlement
of a short-lived dispute.
A company spokesman said
the pickets departed after a con
ference between Edgar Kaiser,
vice president and general man
ager, and Louis Hackbarth, busi
ness agent of the Washtenaw
County Building and Trades
council (AFL).
"So far as we know, the dis
pute is over," the company
spokesman said, though having
no details.
About 40 to 50 pickets ap
peared at the main gate about
6 a.m., and their cars and those
of non-striking employes clog
ged the highway leading to the
entrance.
The plant normally employs
nearly 5000 persons but a com
pany spokesman said only a
few of those were due to re
port today since Kaiser-Frazer
operates on a five-day sched
ule. Hackbarth accused the firm
of allowing maintenance men
to "infringe" on AFL construc
tion work and said Kaiser-Frazer
representatives had broken
a promise to meet with an esti
mated 1000 AFL members Fri
day night to discuss the situa
tion. The agent said "We expect the
CIO United Auto Workers will
respect our picket lines" al
though he added that no such
assurance had been received
from Local 142, UAW-CIO.
Rural Teachers
Plan Program
About 80 rural school prin
cipals and teachers in one room
schools over the county met at
the courthouse Saturday on call
of Mrs. Agnes C. Booth, county
superintendent, to make plans
for organizing the winter teach
ing program.
Among those participating in
the program were Mrs. Florence
Beardsley, elementary supervis
or of the state department of
education who spoke on educa
tion in 1947; Walter Snyder, as
sistant state superintendent of
schools, who discussed the han
dicapped program; Beatrice
Yeary, nurses' supervisor of the
Marion county department of
health, who was present with
or appeasement by individual
powers won't help matters. Ap
peasement won't dissipate dis
trust but, on the contrary, is
likely to increase it.
Now that your vacation is over
and you are thru running hither
and yon (or should be) it is about
time to settle down and quit "flit
in' away" your money. Better do
some investing this winter and
there's nothing like a good dia
mond for an investment in the
future. We just received a new
shipment of beautiful blue-white
diamonds perfectly cut and pol
ished to the 'nth degree. I'll be
glad to talk it over with you and
show you my stones I think they
are the best in town.

Hope Diamond
Washington, Sept. 21 U.R
The death of Mrs. Evalyn Mc
Lean Reynolds, 25-year-old so
cialite, today added another
link to the chain that binds her
family's fabulous Hope diamond
to tragedy.
Mrs. Reynuolds, wife of for
mer Sen. Robert Reynolds (D.,
N.C.), was found dead yester
day in her room at Friendship,
the McLean family home.
A police report declared
death due to "apparent natural
causes" but her physician, Dr.
W. B. Leonard said an accident
al overdose of sleeping tablets
was a possible cause.
Coroner A. Magruder Mac
Donald ordered an autopsy to
determine the exact cause.
Dr. Leonard found Mrs. Rey
nold's body while at Friendship
to pay a call on her mother,
Mrs. Evalyn Walsh McLean, a
prominent figure in Washing
ton society and owner of the
Hope diamond. Mrs. McLean
broke her kneecap in a recent
fall.
The death of the young Mrs.
Reynolds was another episode
in the misfortune that has dog
ged some owners of the Hope
diamond, a $2,000,000 blue
white gem that once belonged
to Catherine, the Great.
