The Nlpp wants an 'honorable peace', though never that way as a nation. ... The Vice President, aspiring for a second term,, as provided by the Constitution, is denied the ambition. The President seeking fourth term, brave-, ly declares he would vote fori i is renomlnation, personally,1 "but I do not wish to appear in j any way as dictating to the' convention." Fellow Americans, I the soft soap floweth full and I free, and the chameleon is given Convention Headquarters, Chi. cago, July 18 (U.R) The demo cratic platform committee turn ed to the vital foreign policy ! sue today, prepared to hear the views of some 20 witnesses, with the broad outlines of the party's foreign plank apparently already decided upon. Among the witnesses sched uled to appear were Mrs. J. Bor den Hurriman, former ambas sador to Norway; Clarence K. Streit, author of the federal union now plan; Frederick J. Llbby, representing the national council for the prevention of war, and Ely Culbertson, bridge expert and author of a world peace plan. Connally Main Adviser But the one whose recommen dation Is expected to carry the greatest weight will not be heard until the committee adjourns its open hearings late today, and meets In executive session To be gin drafting the platform. Ha Is Sen. Tom Connally of Texas, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, author of the senate-approved Connally resolution and a special adviser to the platform committee. Connally has drafted a pro posed plank of less than 300 words which was reported to bear the approval of President Roosevelt, It is expected to call for a post-war association of soverlgn nations to maintain peace. It was understood that Connally favored language ad vocating specific authorization of military forces to prevent ag- gression, to contrast with the republican platform pledge to support "peace forces" against aggression. Ready Tomorrow Platform Committee Chair man John W. McCormack of Massachusetts, house majority leader, said the committee ex pected to devote most of today's session to hearings on foreign policy and then to begin whip ping the platform into shape for submission to the convention to morrow. The committee completed I hearings on domestic Issues yes terday, receiving lengthy state ments from William Green, president of the American Fed eration of Labor, and Philip Murray, president of the Con- grcss of Industrial Organiza tions. They submitted recom mendations for labor, reconver sion, foreign policy and other planks, Both urged United States par ticipation in a post-war associa tion of nations, reconversion pro grams to assure full employment after the war and immediate re peal of the Smith-Conally antl strike law. Murray read the text of the program adopted at a CIO political action conference at Washington last month.

Upstate New Deal Idolators, In letters to editors, express the fear 'the good old days' will re turn. As many remember them, the worst thing about the 'good old days', was the esteemed Ore gon Journnl, asking with almost dally regularity, "Is this Rus sia?" . ' . THOSE LOVELY FRENCH' (Kldorado (Kan.) Times) "I saw a thirsty soldier atop at a farm house today to get a glass of cider, served to him In a broken cut, for which he was charged 10 -francs 20 cents In American money. Nor do you see villagers coming Into tho streets with garlands of flowers any more. Any Frenchman who has anything left Isn't giving it away. He's selling it, and at high prices. GI Joe is becoming the best customer in years." ... A financial expert at the world monetary conference In New Hampshire states "the Adminis tration spending of the past 12 years required courage." It re quired nothing of tho kind. Most in Washington when the Office of Price Adminis tration upped the cotton price $150,000, 0 0 0 a few weeks ago. Thus began, In concrete form, Mr. Roosevelt's remerger o f self with the D c m o c r atlc party of the south for the duration, not necessarily of the war, but of tho campaign at least. The method Is historic in politics. You will recall the pricer, Mr. Bowles, wrung his hands and wept before a congressional com mittee thnt the Uankhead cotton boosting amendment would wreck his program and cost $250,000,000 to consumers an nually. The official compromiser, Mr Byrnes, was set to work to change the amendment so Mr. Roosevelt would not be' required to veto It. After ha got through, Senator Baukhead said he was satisfied, as what Mr. Byrnes concocted was the same thing. Now It has been officially an nounced that OPA (In confer ence) has raised Its cotton ceil ings $150,000,000, thus to stim ulate tho main Item of commerce In the south where cotton Is still supposed to remain king or dic tator after several economic rev olutions. e e TTHE cynical newsmen, behind their hands, call this "appease ment." Mr. Roosevelt's workers call It his "Inner policy of con ciliation" upon which he expects to build a feasible, If not popu lar front, embracing both ex tremes of conservatism and rad icalism regarding totalitarian ism, economics, Negroes and, In fact, all Issues. Whatever you call It. this Is the prescribed theme of the con vention and the essence of events for tho campaign. Recent con forming relaxations on food and dare to enter upon such a hope less contest. But success in politics Is meas ured by accomplishments, and not by tactics (with which the people little concern themselves) so the success of this convention will be judged, no doubt, by the extent to which the new White House policy of appeasement or conciliation delivers same. anybody with the U.S. treasury whisky are said by admlnlstra handy, could screw up enough' tlnn officials to have lust hap courage to spend it. pened without any thought of politics If so, they will continue Increasingly to happen up to election day with or without thought of politics. ... CIM1LAR preparations for ap- pea.iing or conciliating the vice presidential situation are somewhat perplexing, but not beyond happy fulfillment at this convention. . . CME other conciliating prep aratlons for the convention have been handled with similar ly superior skill.

The facts, of course are Hint Mr Hamiegan was brought In as a new chairman months ago to get Just this kind of delegate se lected as far as possible, and such terrific fourth-term pres sure wss evident In Washington as far back as last January that not even Senator Byrd would "One woman wrote she had been dieting for ten summers, and hadn't lost a pound" uOre gonlan) There are others, un able to shake their heads from side to side. .

On the contrary, the irresponsible driver can take out Insurance, and to heck with the accidents let the Insurance company worry about that. You may be a model driver, but unable to write a check In five figures. Some drunken moron, "financially resDonsihle " smashes Into you, kills your wife and sends you to the hospital for six months. He gets a slap on the wrist and perhaps his driver's 1 1 c e ns e cancelled for lv months. While you, In no way responsible for the accident, are forbidden the use of the high ways until such time as you can write a check In five figures. The law creates a nlc lue.r. live Dusiness for the private in surance companies. It compels the citizen to pay tribute to them, to enter Into contract with wem, to their profit, and on their terms and the law does me high-pressuring" for them. One wonders Just how much in fluence the insurance companies used to get this law enacted. Next they will be dishing us out a law forbidding us to vote unless we are listed In the social register and an Income tax payer. This law la an Insult in tho citizens of Oregon, a disgrace to the state and a reproach to those responsible for its enactment. The voters of Oregon should de mand lis repeal and the enact ment of an Insurance law ad ministered entirely by the state, on a non-profit basis: a law that will be 100 per cent effective, and permit us to use our high ways and retain our self respect. The state is In the loan busi ness and the liquor business why not the Insurance business? Assuming that there are 200,000 motor vehicles registered In the state and the annual pnemlum per vehicle Is $20 Instead of forcing the citizens to divert this money to the coffers of the private Insurance companies. $4,000,000 would be a tidy little sum to put Into our road, school, old age pension, post-war pro gram, or other fund, where It would benefit the citizens of the state.

Mr. Dewey says we will leave the war out of this campaign. Won't he have a hard time convincing the parents of the boys in the armed forces that this is not the main issue?
