O Versus GOP PARTY platforms have long been character- ized by ambiguity, double talk and weasling on important issues and, confined as they are within the narrow bounds of compromise, can be only ~as important as the interpretations of candidates and party leaders make them. Such cautious and generalized statements as are found in the 1944 .GOP platform are significant only because they indicate trends and directions of political action. The Republican party's platform is neither new nor different. It is typical of a long line of such verbose but :hollow political docu- ments. Characteristically, words and space are wasted in criticism of the present administra- tion with an almost hysterical denunciation of bureaucracy, centralization of authority, red tape, ;executive direction and New Deal social and economic philosophy. The platform is characteristic, too, in a paucity of concrete plans and remedies for the faults of the present administration. Plans for future action are vague and general at best. A direct contrast to the Republican plat- form's traditional political ,and often petty character, its lack of any well thought out,. definite program, its bombast, is the program outlined by the Political Action Committee of the CIO. The CIO's program is cemented by carefully considered, unified purpose. In the field of for- eign affairs, the basic :philosophy in interna- tionalism in its broadest sense, economic, social and political; in domestic policy, the underlyling philosophy is President Roosevelt's "Bill of Rights," contained in his message to Congress in January, 1944. Every citizen has the right to a job, an adequate living, a decent home, free- dom of enterprise, good health and economic security. The two programs, of course, are at almost op- posite polls of political opinion. More than this, they represent the opposite extremes of clear and muddled thinking. IN STRONG contrast to the Republican plat- form's weak "organized international coopera- tion" with no "world state," the CIO program proposes "a general international organization open to membership by all peace-loving state, large and small "with power of collective action against any future aggressor." Instead of "we shall at all times protect the essential interests and resources of the United States" we read in the CIO program, "each nation must be afforded full and ade quate assistance to develop its economy and utilize its resources for the benefit of its peo- ple . . ." Here is Republican balance of power politics opposed to the farsighted interna- tionalism of progressive labor. We find an equally strong contrast in domestic policy and a similar opposition of constructive thought to destructive and often aimless criti- cism. To carry out a domestic program based on the President's "Bill of Rights," the CIO has formulated a ready program of action-estab- lishment of a National Planning Board com posed of representatives of industry, labor and agriculture.^ Both documents express faith in free enter- prise. But the free enterprise of the CIO is not the Republican's mysterious force which can be relied upon to work smoothly and automatically, without aid, to insure full production. It is a mechanism which must be supplemented by a o. 41, { S / 1 4' !lvyv " d4 [ Ilk J < _ l E \4 I S .. N r Ara' f .^ >.r: ".Xa'^. . ._ ,c.. ;,C. f. a r' " _ By KENNETH L. DIXON WITH the AEF in Italy,-(-(P)-- Since our army headquarters has announced that detailed reports on the activities of the 36th division up to date may be released this is as good a time as any to recount how the one-time Texas outfit has set a bunch of brand new records for war's history books. It was May 25 when the old T- and-Tommyhawk crew from Salerno was re-committed to the combat line at Anzio with orders to break through the last big bastion before Rome. Exactly one month later the men of the 36th had: (1) Smashed the Velletri Line permitting history's first success- ful assault on Rome from the south; (2) Continued attack, hounding the Germans 240 miles as the road widens from the Anzio jump-off point; (3) Captured more than 5,000 prisoners, not to mention addi- tional thousands killed. In a proudly worded message of congratulations Maj. Gen. Fred L. Walker, the division commander, told his men that "History will re- cord forever your outstanding suc- cess" that the division routed the enemy "from his strong, well-or- ganized positions and drove him across the timber in disorder." He told the men that General Marshall had sent him a personal message of congratulations and that their historic drive would substan- tially shorten the duration of the war. battle that the outfit which estab- lished the first American beach- head on the European continent- the first beachhead secured any- where by Americans against Ger- man opposition-would be the men to chalk up these achievements. But not all the men were pres- ent when the last chapter was written. Nearly 2,000 of those who came ashore at Salerno fell during the first 10 days of Sep- tember fighting on foreign soil. During two bitter weeks of De- cember, more than 2,000 fell in the assault on San Pietro, and three bloody days at the Rapido in Jan- uary cost about 1,500 men. Some of these were wounded and returned to battle later but in ad- dition to these casualties there were the many who fell at Camino, and Summucro, Mount Maggiore, Mount Lungo, Mount Rotundo, and at a score of other battle grounds now marked by cemeteries. Such casualties caused a complete turnover in the division personnel and although many of the veterans subsequently returned to the ranks, the outfit which was about half Texans at Salerno was all-American when it struck at Velletri. With well trained replacements it was back at full strength again but only 10 or 20 per cent were from the Lone Star State where it originated. The number of men lost in this last triumphant campaign has not yet been announced but there's one thing the tired but proud T- and-Tommyhawk boys will tell you grimly: "This time, the Germans lost a hell of a lot more." :;,a ter.

Press O"pposes Keynes DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN By SAMUEL GRAFTON NEW YORK, July 8-The news from the Bretton Woods monetary conference is admit- tedly hard to follow. We call this kind of material "pig iron" in the newspaper business. O, those lumpy, indigestible paragraphs about a world bank or the portistan! ** The conference isn't being made any easier to understand, either, by an almost savage American newspaper hostility to Lord Keynes, chief of the British delegation. Lord Keynes is a marked man at Bretton Woods, because he does not believe in unemployment. He is looked at askance by a number of American editorial writers, who believe that unemploy- ment has made America great. But Lord Keynes hates unemployment. He does not believe that human progress starts with the delicious thrill of fear running through a man that his baby may starve. He detests editorial writers who enjoy that thrill at sec- fond hand, when it concerns somebody else's baby. He believes the hungry baby theory is a bad theory on which to build a good world. He thinks we ought to get some testimonials from the babies before we adopt any such idea. He feels that unemployment must be stamped out, by government, like small-pox. That is one reason why he advocates a ten-billion dol- lar world bank, through which the nations of the world could lend each other money for reconstruction, in the form of mutually-guaran- teed loans. He would make international bank- ing truly international, for the first time. Well, Lord Keynes is having his troubles, mostly with that part of the American press which, alone among the world's great presses, is carefully studying the Bretton Woods con- ference through a stove-lid, and reporting that it sees nothing. The. Strange thing is that internationalist newspapers, like the New York Times, are matching isolationist newspapers in their hos- tility toward at least some of these proposals. Partly, maybe, this is due to a mixed-up feel- gency powers" and "reject the theory of restor- ing prosperity through government spending and, deficit financing." Their free private enterprise is one which must struggle along by itself as best it can without subsidies, without deficit financing, without price controls and with the imposed burden of tariffs which can be modified only by approval of Congress. One program is based upon fear, uncertain- ty, reaction; the other upon courage, assur- ance and progressiveness. One moves back- ward, the other forward. The November elections, the CIO platform states "will decide whether we can move forward with confidence to peace, freedom and security, or whether we will be thrown back into insecur- ity and want, imperialistic conflict, fascism and, inevitably, into a third World War." The choice is .-ours. -Jennie Fitch. ing that Lord Keynes is a kind of New Deal- er, and that to clout him will bloody Roose- velt's nose. A strange soul-struggle is going on between internationalism and rugged in- dividualism. - But what happens to our beautiful, beautiful dreams about a world organization, if we can't even agree on a world bank? Bretton Woods is where we pay off on our fine talk. Bretton Woods is where we decide whether the world organization will be a mere clambake and marching society, or °a working instrument. It will be odd if men who are firmly for a world police force and a world court swoon and pass out at the thought of a world dollar. There, in those lovely hills, we may lose the war.

GEN PERSHING added his voice yesterday to the chorus of sentiment voiced in official and semi-official circles in most Allied capitals that the end of the war is near -possible this year. Churchill has predicted the fall of Germany during the course of this year and FDR has said much the same thing along. with Gen. Eisen- hower and others of our military leaders. We wonder whether or not these opinions have not been the product of vision thru rose- colored glasses,'or if they should prove true, whether such unbridled optimism' is the best policy at this time. We wonder whether people will work harder or slacken off if they are convinced that the end is near, the end of fighting in Europe. We have no right other than that of a deeply interested citizen to belittle the validity of such statements, but what seems open to criticism is the fact that they ignore mention of our Far Eastern struggle and the overall problem of the peace. People are easily convinced of anything that would be an antidote to war's horrors, but this war will hardly be over until Japan, too, is lcked. In this light,: further, the pros- pects of making an enduring and just peace seem almost frightening. If this is pessimism, be that as it may. We are interested in realism and this point of view dictates immediate cognizance of the war in the Pacific and the peace. .Is it wise or expe- dient to cloud these sharp realities with pre- mature optimism? What do you think? -Stan Wallace (Continued from Page 2) Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. This exercise has been approved by the Commanding Offi- cer, Navy V-12 Program.

What of it? "Scape-goating", says Gordon Allport of Harvard, "is a phenomenon wherein some of the aggressive energies of a person or group are focused upon another in- dividual or group; the amount of ag- gression and blame being . . . un- warranted." Scape-goating has a fascinating, sacred and meaningful history. To- day it curses directly the very people whom it originally served. The pious nomadic Jew, grateful to the Deity for his life, his family and his flocks, would bring the choicest lamb to the altar where the priest who was at once family physician, teacher and custodian of the sacred traditions, would burn portions of this lamb unto the Deity. Thus the good deeds were commended to Heaven. Then, to signify separation of sin from the worshipper, the, priest ceremonially placed his stained hands on the head of a goat and that animal was led away to Gehenna (often used as a synonym for Sheol, Hades or Hell), there to perish. The NaA, unwilling to frankly face Germany's own errors and eager to blame someone for the superman's failures to ease the life of a struggling people, have "taken it out" on the Jews. Scape- goating prevails with the Chris- tian Front in America in the veiled reference to Jews under the term "International Bankers." Cam- paigners indulge in deadly phras- es-"Have you heard this one?" or "Yes, they are all like that." Then there are those subtle gen- eralizations which charge the fault or error of one person to the whole culture, Negro or Pole or Japan- ese or Jew. But when a Marion Anderson or a Howard Thurman appears as a great success, we for- get to credit that success to the race. In a day when scape-goating has turned Europe into one vast concen- tration camp, when we find ourselves put to it to practice democracy or keep the culture conscious of rights, it is a Christian virtue to clip scape- goating from common conservation, from campus thought and from po- litical practice. But just as the redirection of that energy which falsely went into kicking the cat required superior self-discipline in the simplified personal situation, so the redirecting of social energy toward minorities will require a re- birth of soul throughout America.
