Both Right, and Wrong
William Hard has an interesting article in the Sep
tember "Readers Rigest" entitled: "Are we on the!
wrong road to peace?
The well known political commentator and writer
answers the question in the affirmative as follows:
"I contend that the primary aim of the United States
should be a World Union of ALL NATIONS in session at
all times for consideration of world problems, economic,
financial, political, military. I am convinced that such union
organized to take and express world views in world emer
gencies and energized by daily duties of world service can
be the strongest bulwark against war that can be built.
I would not be thought to suppose that power, as power,
can be abolished. Doubtless powerful nations will, and
must, follow special courses and make special agreements
for special purposes. This use of power of the great powers,
however, I am contending should occupy a secondary place
in our minds. The whole history of the world for the last
130 years teaches us that, when the power of the great
powers is made the primary thing and when it is exalted
Into being the one central pillar of peace, it crashes in
blood."
The author cites the sad and' bloody end of the
union of Great Powers known as the. Holy Alliance
formed after Napoleon was overthrown. It was
formed to' keep world peace, but ended in a series of
bloody wars.
This is approximately the position of uovernor
Dewey and has much to commend it historically and
morally.
President Roosevelt, however, takes the opposite
view, that such an alliance of the four victorious pow
ers, England, Russia, China and the United States
must be formed, if "our grandchildren are to live in
a world of prosperity and peace." He is supported by
such eminent political and international experts as
Walter Lippmann who would divide the post-war
world into four spheres to be controlled and adminis
tered by just such a Quadruple Alliance.
Well the debate is on, and unless all signs fail it
will become a very important political issue, and be
discussed and cussed pro and con for many years
to come.
IN the opinion of this department both sides are right
in -kitA canoa rtrA irt'Dn rr in o n ri Vi ni
iii uiic OLiiov aim niuii in auubiivi
We agree with President Roosevelt to this extent
that as a practical matter the four great powers that
will have defeated the Axis, must stick together to
keep the peace and restore order, during the trouble
some post-war period.
And the great advantage of such an arrangement
would be the organization is already formed, there
would need to be no radical changes politically speak
ing in the present status quo. The nations that have
worked together to win the war would merely stay
together and go on to solve the pressing problems of
peace.
DUT on the other hand we believe Mr. Hard is
entirely right when he points out the ultimate fate
of any such Big Power Alliance, as a permanent ar
rangement, as anything more than a temporary
expedient, solely to solve the problems of the critical
reconstruction period.
When these have been solved, when the war pas
sions have had a chance to cool, when something
approaching a normal rational and peaceful atmo
sphere has been restored THEN,
Bring in Mr. Hard, Governor Dewey and others
who believe as they do and set up not an exclusive
Big Power alliance but some sort of inclusive
WORLD organization, with all the powers large and
small probably including the defeated ones, repre
sented. IN other words instead of adopting either the Roose-
velt or the Hard plan take the good features of both
and adopt a Third plan, which on one hand, will be
capable of solving the reconstruction problems in a
post-war atmosphere and on the other solve the prob
lems of a world-wide organization to maintain world
peace.
We grant the tremendous difficulties involved in
both proposals, but are convinced a combination of
the two would be greatly preferable, to the adoption
of either one.
No One Knows, But
"No living man can tell when the war with Ger
many will end" said President Roosevelt to his press
conference.
A few moments later Congressman Clifton A.
Woodruin of Virginia arose on his hind legs to an
nounce :
"The war with Germany will end in Octoberl"
. . . .
CO there you are boys and girls.
President Roosevelt probably knows more about
the war situation, what is actually happening
abroad and what isn't, than any other living man.
let he will not even uUfc-bs as to when Germany
will capitulate. Nor will General Eisenhower who did
predict last New lears day, Germany would be de
feated sometime this year. 1
Now the General is not quite so certain.

Overseas Talk Promise
Letter Refutes Claim
Democrats.
New York. Aug. 26 U.PJ
Maj. Gen. F. II Osborn, director
of the information and educa
tional division of the army serv
ice forces, was Identified today
as the officer who promised the
Socialist party radio lime for an
overseas broadcast equal to that
of President Roosevelt's Brem
erton speech.
Harry Fleischman, Socialist
party secretary, said that Os
born made his promise in a letter
to him dated Aug. 21, and re
ferred him to Capt. Albert E.
Gibson of army service forces
here for assistance.
Fleischman said that Osbom's
letter was in answer to Socialist
party claims that Mr. Roosevelt's
speech was political and there
fore the Socialist party was en
titled to rebuttal time. Osborn
suggested that ".8, order to com
ply with your request under the
terms of law title 5" the party
should draw up a 38-minute
script, the .exact length of the
president's which would be giv
en free time, Fleischman said.
"This letter is in direct con
tradiction to the statement of
Paul Porter (public relations
chief of the Democratic party)
that the army's classification (as
political) of the president's
speech at Bremerton was made
by a lieutenant and therefore
unofficial," Fleischman said.

JOBLESS PAY ACT
Washington, Aug. 26 (U.R)
Four democratic members of
the House Ways and Means
committee tonight assailed the
committee's proposed Unem
ployment Compensation Bill,
shortly after republican com-
I mlttcemen had praised it as far
preferable to the senate ver
sion of such legislation.
The four democrats Reps.
Herman P. Eberharter. Pa.;
John D. Dingell, Mich.; Walter
A. Lynth, N. Y., and Aime J.
Forand, Pa. charged that the
committee had "emasculated"
the measure so that it "does not
provide anything at all."
But the republicans were
equally critical of the bill as it
passed the senate, and said that
version "put the cart before the
horse" in emphasizing unem
ployment compensation instead
of speedy conversion to peace
time production.
They said in a statement that
the bill as passed by the senate
would "pave the way for the
very evil we must avoid"
widespread unemployment.
They favored the version final
ly approved this week by the
Ways and Means committee,
from which several senate pro
visions were deleted.
Eliminated by the House
committee were provisions to
provide unemployment com
pensation for an estimated 3.
500,000 federal employes and
to authorize appropriation of
funds to pay for vocational
training of war veterans and
for travel expenses of veterans
to new Jobs after their discharge.
A ND with good reason.
" For tl
the end of the war in Europe now depends
not upon the allies but upon Germany, i.e.:
How long Germany can TAKL it.
THATs all. Germany is beaten and knows it,
But to be BEATEN in modern war is one thing.
To give up, as China has demonstrated for nearly a
decade, is quite ANOlllhK.
And no one can tell, not even Hitler himself, when
that moment will come; when the strain will be more
than flesh and blood, and spirit, can stand, and
Germany, Hitler or no Hitler, will call it a day and
QUIT!
It might be tomorrow. It might be, don't laugh!
a year from tomorrow. That it will come SOMEtime
is the only CERTAIN thing.
Yet that will not halt for a split second the fascinat
ing game, of following the example of the pontifical
7S?2 Congressman from Virginia, and TRYING to pick the
ing rouune training tiighU UIC.
GOV. DEWEY RAPS
Gl VOTE SMEARS
Albany, N. Y., Aug. 27 (U.R)
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey asserted
tonight that New York's soldier
vote law is working successfully
despite efforts of the Democratic
party and its "satellites" to
"scuttle" the law through "blind
partisan attacks."
The Republican presidential
nominee issued the statement
through his Albany offices. He
said the Democratic campaign of
"deception and demagoguery
failed."
Dewey's statement was
prompted by a report of William
T. Simpson, chairman of the
state war ballot commission, dis
closing that 385.000 applications
have been handled to date. I
"This proof that the system
adopted by New York state is
working so well is the best pos
sible answer to those who sought
to sabotage its effectiveness by
mnking blind partisan attacks
uopn it," Dewey said.
