Reviving Democracy?
In the "People's Own Column" in the Oregonian appears
a communication from Monroe Sweetland of Newport, the
new democratic national committeeman for Oregon, who
evidently is out to revive the democratic party by shots in
the arm of left wing dope. ennnen
Sweetland calls the Oregonian down for its criticism of 5r5 FOR SUPPER
the "misuse of union funds" by labor leaders without
knowledge of the rank and file as to how the money was
spent. He denies the charge, except in those cases where
concealment was necessary lest they endanger contacts in
sabotage activities among war enemies. He continues:

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
Open Letter to Marshall
Offers Solution for Ruhr
By DREW PEARSON
(Ed. Note Drew Pearson's column today takes the form
of I letter to Secretary of State Marshall.)
Washington, D. C.
My Dear General Marshall: December 4 1948
You may possibly recall a conversation I had with you shortly
after you became secretary of state in which you talked about
the fact that a soldier, in order to tight well, must have the will
to fight. Weapons alone, you said, don't make a gocd soldier.
I r e m ember

tion most vivid

such great elo
quence and
feeling and de

cases during the
war when well

I VI 1
Give Hera Break
"In this matter I speak from personal knowledge, since I left
the war production board in 1942 to organize war relief solici
tations for the Industrial unions. These contributions through
CIO and AF of L war relief committees rapidly became the
largest single source of funds for war relief work, including the
important and effective work through underground labor in
enemy-occupied areas. I was in charge of this work as national
director of the CIO war relief committee for two years, until I
went overseas myself in 1944."
It is mere coincidence that the same time the Sweetland
letter was published, the house un-American activities com
mittee in a pamphlet entitled "100 Things You Should
Know About Communism and Education," said about
training in communism at the Lenin school in Moscow:
"Carefully selected Communists from the United States and
other countries get a free course in factory sabotage, bomb-making,
kidnaping, train-wrecking, mutiny, civil warfare, espion
age. Infiltration and other methods of wrecking a country."
Mr. Sweetland before the war was one of the chief organ
izers of the Commonwealth Federation of Oregon, a fellow
traveler group which was listed by Earl Browder as one
of the organizations in communist "Democratic Front,"
following the party line.
The communists were opposed to the war until Hitler
attacked Russia, when they abruptly changed front and
the sabotage was switched from Uncle Sam to the Axis
powers and Mr. Sweetland admits he was in charge of the
sabotage work among the enemy for two years, described
to the recent CIO convention my Leo Perlis, his successor.
Hopeful Young Reformers
Organized "Young Republicans" and "Young Demo
crats" organizations are intent on reorganizing their par
ties in Oregon and adopting various resolutions calling for
more expenditures without supplying additional revenues
for both national and state governments living on deficit
expenditures and heavy indebtedness.
As far as national politics are concerned we cannot see
how the Young Republicans or the Young Democrats can
expect a small state like Oregon to seriously influence
national organizations by adopting resolutions of party
golicy.
As for state politics, the Young Republicans have no
complaint for Oregon was the only far western state that
voted republican down the line. Dewey carried the state
by a good majority and GOP elected all except one state of
ficial and control both houses of the legislature. The Young
Democrats have only to nominate men of character and
ability to elect them as in the past. But as long as they
select unknown mediocrities they can expect defeat
despite the augmentation of their ranks by industrial
workers.
The democratic party In Oregon was killed when the
democrats combined with goon employing labor leaders to
defeat Governor Charles H. Martin for renomination be
cause he restored law and order and ended a reign of sabo
tage and terror and insured industrial peace.
As far as the presidential election was concerned, Dewey
was lucky for Truman faces the toughest problems in the
International and national scene. Any sort of a prolonged
depression will mean democratic defeat in 1950 and 1952
regardless of nominees. The rank and file will vote as
always for the "full dinner pail" or the best promises for
It. And depression is the ultimate result of inflation.
Planned economy and the police state is no solution in
free America any more than it was in Europe. And in
the communist heaven of Russia and its satellites, depres
sion is perpetual only they call it five year plans.
The Welcome Mat Is Out
There is no substitute for the real thing in entertain
ment, be it music, drama, stage show, or sport event. The
feel of being present adds reality and a fullness to any pre
sentation and removes that remoteness that comes with a
radio program.
That is why the appearance of the Portland symphony
orchestra in Salem Tuesday night at the high school audi
torium is so worthy of mention. This particular orchestra,
which ranks already with the great orchestras in the Unit
ed States, will offer the first of three concerts for the
1948-'49 series.
Its conductor, Werner Janssen, is Interesting himself,
for his ability to lead the "7-piei-e orchestra without a
core. He relies on his memory of the works of the mas
ters in his conducting. He is a product of New York and
is the first native conductor ever to direct the famed phil
harmonic orchestra there.
With such appearances as those in Salem, the Portland
group will soon win the title of the Oregon symphony
orchestra. Last week appearances were made in Lebanon
and Albany. And the reports, as expected, were cheering.
So it is with anticipation that this section of the Wil
lamette valley looks forward to another visit from the
aymphony orchestra. Last year's two performances re
moved any strangeness. It returns with a knowledge that
its appearance is considered as contributing greatly to the
capital city's way of life.
