MAIL TRIBUNC Tuesday. Mwch VI. 1S4S
Editorial Correspondence
Palm Springs, March 23: That "Old Timer" may win this
weather debate yet.
Here is another storm which Is No. 5 in less than three weeks.
And this is a honey the day of the "Big Wind" as far as this
season is concerned. Swept the old boys off the golf course like
dead leaves before a Sou-Easter, And it takes SOME wind to do
that!
Palm Springs, however, is In a little cup of hills and moun
tains protected on three sides. One can only imagine what the
storm must be like out on the open desert!
According to the telephone gal here, all motorists are being
warned at Indio to hole in there and venture neither east nor
west until the storm blows over. (And the sun shone this morn
ing!) The last of a series of public forums was held at tha Frances
Stevens school auditorium here last night, the subject being "Are
We Winning the War?" .
. Sounds like a silly question. And it is NOW. But it wasn't
so silly when the series started.
Dr. Rufus B. von Kleinsmid, president of the University of
Southern California was advertised as the speaker and having
often heard of the energetic educator and promoter, and never
having seen him, we decided to attend.
The speaker, however, was not Dr. Kleinsmid, but a Dr. Camp
bell also from U. S. C, substituting because of the former's ill
ness. Apparently this fact had gotten around a bit for there were
only 63 people in the auditorium (by actual count) and three of
them were Boy Scouts, acting as ushers!
a a a e
However, we were glad we attended. For it was very un
usual talk, not so much for what the speaker said, as the implica
tions of his remarks.
His subject was "Russia's place in the post-war world."
And Dr. Campbell having travelled in Russia extensively and
being a student of international relationships and geo-politics
with a doctor's degree in psychology proved to be a very fluent,
pleasing and Informing speaker.
But what he said and the implications really added up in
plain English to Just this:
Stalin today is in almost precisely the same position POLITICALLY-SPEAKING
that Hitler occupied at the outbreak of the
present war; and is being cajoled and APPEASED, precisely as
"Der Fuehrer" was in 1938 and '39. And for the same reason
because the rest of the nations fear him and do not wish directlv
at least to oppose him!
Of course there is this obvious
war now, and the war had not started at the time of Munich and
"Berchtesgaten And of course
For until the war is OVER and Germany has been beaten, no
one would advoeate ANY action that might threaten allied solidarity.
But Dr. Campbell was also

Hitler did as he darned pleased, in the three or four years, that
preceeded the present conflict, namely:
Because no one no nation that is wishes to FORCUFULLY
oppose him.
Why? Because Stalin is practically impregnable. He has the
men, he has the guns, he has a country that is absolutely self
sustaining; and while one might say it is hard for him to get at
ma rem oi me worm, u is equally
rest of the world to get at HIM!
So, it proved to be a very

the forum were as is often the case not really questions at all
but little impromptu (perhaps not so impromptu) speeches by the

Dr. Campbell, however, did

philanthropist, nationally or internationally, but a very realistic

world conditions and international politics. He has also been a
visitor in Russia four or five times, and has made a careful study
of that country: And while he is realistic regarding the Soviet

pro-Russian in his sympathies and outlook.

But, as above stated, the evening was well spent as far as we

For whether Professor Campbell is right or wrong, there is
no question that he touched upon

And this is also interesting.
Dr. Campbell admitted that,

backward a Fascist dictatorship in Italy. Their characters po

iuiure, as lar as Russia is concerned, will also be the same.

Republicans .Told
To Halt Backward
Looking Attitude
Washington, March 27. (U.R)
Sen. George D. Aiken, R., Vt.,
warned the Republican party to
day that it must halt its "back
ward looking attitude" if it
wants to win another national
election.
"The Republicans' have a Job
of about-facing to do," he said.
"The main body of voters who
voted the Republican ticket last
fall are out of sympathy with
the policies expressed by the Re
publicans' most vocal national
spokesmen."
Aiken said there were signs of
"increasing cleavage" between
the right and left wing groups
of both parties. This, he de
clared, will have a noticeable
effect on the 1946 congressional
elections and "will probably be
decisive" in the 1948 presi
dential contest.
