NIGHT EDITOR: FRED SCHOTT
losson Talk
TrrHOSE WHOWAITED out the question
period at Prof. Slosson's address Mon-
day were treated to some rather rewarding
host tnortems.
The historian had been speaking of the
United Nations, its failings and potential
remedies. He saw a strong federation of
states and an all-powerful police force as
the way to peace. But as a more immediate
stop-gap to relieve the holocaust-breeding
tensions of our day, Prof. Slosson saw the
Marshall Plan.
"If the Marshall plan is met with com-
mon sense, the present crisis might be
passed," he said.
In the question period, the matter of the
Plan's probability of success cropped up.
Prof. Slosson shed the academic "what-
should-be" and assumed the down-to-earth,
"what-is".
"There are two considerations that enter
here," he said in effect. "There's the ques-
tion of whether European nations will agree
to a plan at first glance, and, if they do,
wrhether the United States will accept the
responsibilities and the hardships entailed;
surrender tax cuts, endure inconvenience
for a while."
As for the first contention, any appraisal
of what's going to hapen-how the Paris
talks will fare-is purely hypothetical. To
say that few outside of the cnoference room
k3iow what's ensuing is probably overstate-
° ient. Foreign secretaries Bevin, Bidault
&d Molotov are behind closed doors.
But Prof. Slosson's second implication,
that the American people might will
1overturn i te works" after the plan is
built up abroad, can be looked at under a
dJear, bright light.
The forces are already at work in this
country which seek to undermine Secre-
tary Marshall's work.
Led by "elder-stateman" Herbert Hoover,
many are taking a "sound businessman's
view of the situation," and warning of the
"ruination of our economy." They contend
that helping Europe to its feet will dry
America's well.
It seems that we have a pre-atomic vin-
atge element still bellowing loudly, still
making itself heard and occasionally even
heeded.
But how many can there be who still be-
lieve that 4America can prosper in a dis-
tratlght world-who believe they can fast
while the world starves? How many rock-
ets must be launched, how many atomic
bombs must be dropped before more people
realize that we are living in a very small
world?
Prof. Slosson said his vote is for "auction"
in '48 and that it would go to whoever bid
highest -- highest in what he advocates be
used to rehabilitate Europe after Europe had
taken stock of itself and helped itself 'as
best it could. "Such a man would win my
vote," said Prof. Slosson, "even if it meant
teimporary inconvenience, even if it meant
further tax-cut postponement."
It seems from here that if Prof. Slosson
gets his man elected, he and the rest of us
will be partners in the soundest investment
possible-one that will pay off in world
peace and security.

SEVERAL YOUNGER-GENERATION col-
leges, perturbed by the left-wing com-
plexion of the American Youth for Demo-
cracy, have banned the AYD and its fast
talking organizers from their campuses. In
the midst of the panic, the grandaddy of all
U.S. educational institutions calmly an-
By JOSEPH AND STEWART ALSOP
THERE IS a good chance that next year,
for the first time in recent American
history, an incumbent American President
will have to face a convention deeply split
on the issue of his renomination. For the
signs are that Harry Truman will have to
run a gauntlet to which even Herbert Hoo-
ver, at the low point of his political popu-
larity in 1932, was not subjected. In a num-
ber of states the regular Democratic organ-
ization appears to be coming apart at the
seams, making it probable that a consider-
able bloc of anti-Truman delegates will be
in noisy attendance at the 1948 Democratic
canvention.
The process of coming apart at the
seams is most clearly visible in Californ-
ia. There a loud, three-cornered row is
in progress. In the middle is James Roos-
evelt, the late President's oldest son, and
presently chairman of the State Central
Committee. On one side is Edwin Paul-
ey, California National committeeman.
On the other is the ebullient Robert W.
Kenny, who lost his own party to Repub-
lican Governor Earl Warren last autumn.
Kenny has loudly announced his inten-
tion of capturing the party for Henry
Wallace next year.
.I
Thus it is peculiarly significant that Roos-
evelt, who is believed to hold the political
balance of power in the Pauley-Kenny row,
has telegraphed to Washington, to suggest
a meeting between himself and President
Truman, Pauley, and Gael Sullivan, now
substituting for the ailing Robert Hanne-
gan as the President's chief political quar-
terback. The purpose of the meeting is to
find some way of settling the California
row. Roosevelt and Pauley have never been
particularly chummy politically. Yet one
result of the meeting may be an under-
standing that some time in the future Roos-
evelt will supplant Pauley as National com-
mitteeman. Some such arrangement, it is
believed here, might lead to a firm alliance
between the two men to head off the Ken-
ny assault. Both have personal followings
and considerable power in the California
Democratic party, and Kenney can only be
stopped if both men work together to that
end.
In any event, Kenney will not be easy
to stop. After he was snowed under in
his own party by Warren (one of those
California miracles incomprehensible to
outlanders) Kenney took temporarily to
the political storm cellars. He does not
enjoy anonymity ,however, and as chief
barker for the Wallace htird party, he is
now again in the limelight. He is backed
by former Representative George Outland,
Representative Helen Gahagan Douglas,
his chief braintrusters, and by the mas-
sive California lunatic fringe. He may
well capture some, if not all, of Californ-
ia's big slate of delegates.
The same pattern holds elsewhere. In
Oregon a pro-Wallace group called the Con-
federationists has captured the party ma-
chinery. The party organization is threat-
ened in Washington, and there are pro-Wal-
lace stirrings in Idaho, Colorado, and even
in Illinois. New York, with its American
Labor Party, certainly pro-Wallace, is a
special case. Finally Minnesota too shows
signs of turning sour on the regular Dem-
ocratic organization.
In Minnesota the Democrats and the
Farmer Labor Party have somewhat ten-
tatively joined hands. Former Governor
Elmer Benson, a leading light in the pro-
Wallace Progressive Citizens of America,
is also a leader of the Farmer Labor Party.
State Chairman Harold Barker, who holds
some of the trump cards in the situation,
is reported to be a Benson and Wallace
man. Thus the distinct possibility of a
Wallace slate looms in Minnesota also.
One key to the situation is Hubert Hum-
phrey, Mayor of Minneapolis. Humphrey
is probably the most popular Democrat in
the state. He is also a vice-chairman of
Americans for Democratic Action, the anti-
Communist, anti-Wallace Liberal organiza-
tion. Yet Humphrey was so pro-Wallace
in 1944 taht he held the Minnesota delega-
tion for Wallace for vice president to the
bitter end. He is reported to have been
disillusioned last autumn when Wallace vis-
ited Minnesota.
On that occasion Humphrey told Wallace
that the Communists were heavily infiltrat-
ing the Democratic-Farmer-Labor organiza-
tion. He appealed to Wallace to help get
them out of his hair by roundly condemning
them in a speech Wallace was scheduled to
make. Wallace is understood to have sug-
gested quite seriously that Humphrey get in
touch with Moscow, and put the matter
squarely up to the Politburo on a man to
man basis. Wallace then proceeded to do
the usual stunt about "Red-baiting" in his
speech. This fatuity so stunned Humphrey
that he avoided Wallace on the latter's re-
cent junket to Minnesota. Yet even if
Humphrey holds firm, and fights the Wal-
lace slate of delegates, the Minnesota posi-
tion is by no means secure for the regular
Democrats.
What all this adds up to, of course, is a
sizable bloc of anti-Truman delegates at the
Democratic convention in 1948. They can-
not possibly hope to beat Truman. But they
can march ostentatiously out of the con-
vention amid loud cries of "Wallace for
President," and proceed to set up a third
party organization. In so doing, they will
certainly succeed in wrecking the Demo-
cratic party, at least temporarily. They will
also succeed in electing the most stodgily
conservative Congress in a great many years.

Unemp o yme nt
THE VIOLENCE with which wartime in-
novations have already backfired upon
American workers is being minimized by
some of the closest observers of the indus-
trial scene.
Unemployment in the United States, ac-
cording to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics, rose from 840,000 in 1944 to 1,150,000
in 1945, to 2,270,000 in 1946, to 2,400,000 in
January, 1947. Labor Research Associa-
tion, of New York, has for the past several
months been calling attention to irregular-
ities in the Bureau's statistics, the implica-
tions of which may stagger those who fore-
see no interruption of the economic boom
before mid-1948.
The Bureau reported the total labor force
in 1945 as 64,360,000 workers (52,750,000
civilians and 11,610,000 servicemen). But
it listed the total labor force in January,
1947, as only 59,510,000 (57,790,000 civilians
and 1,720,000 servicemen). Under the as-
sumption that they were no longer "seek-
ing work," the Bureau eliminated. 4,850,000
workers from the total labor force.
Unless death wiped away 4,850,000 work-
ers from the total labor force in two years,
the 1945 figure remains. Technological im-
provements, increased efficiency, new in-
dustrial plants and machinery have sloughed
off these workers from employment. Man-
ual speed-up programs, shorter work-weeks
and elimination of overtime are accelerat-
ing the process at this moment. Unem-
ployment, then-the reward for increased
productivity-rose from 1,150,000 in 1945 to
5,380,00 in 1946, and stood in January, 1947,
at 7,250,000.

ON WORLD AFFAIRS:
India's Future
By EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER
FIRST HINDU: Let us give
thanks, India has achieved in-
dependence.
Second Hindu: And a fine mess
the Indian Congress has made of
it.
First Hindu:dAfter all,dominion
status is bound to lead to full in-
dependence.
2nd H.: As though that were
the problem! Division of India,
my dear fellow, has wasted the
efforts of fifty years of Indian
patriotism.
1st H.: Easy. I foresee ten
years of upheavals. Obviously
the distrust between Ilindus
and Moslems is bound to get
worse before it can get better.
Then we shall have a social rev-
olution-democracy -socialism.
India will again be great.
2nd H.: A great pain in the neck
is what India is going to be. We
are a vain and a foolish people.
We have always looked down on
the British as slow-witted. And
so they are. But are our lawyers
any better? No. They understand
argument. They are babies in pol-
itics. Division spells the downfall
of India.
1st H.: Do you not exaggerate
the importance of the princes?
Surely, we shall have no difficul-
ty in incorporating them-g
2nd H.: The princes? I laugh
at the princes. It is .the Mos-
lems who, by the insidious device
of Pakistan, are ruining the
dream of independence. No won-
der Master Tara Singh, leader
of the Sikhs, is hurling defiance
at the stupid Moslems. "Death
to Pakistan!" he shouted.
"Death to Almighty Allah!" But
one realist is not enough.
1st H.: Your words are wild and
too swift to follow. What is so
dreadful in temporary division?
India is one country. Indians are
one people-or soon will be.
2nd H.: Idiocy! India has nev-
er been united. The Indians are
not one people. Without division,
they might have become one peo-
ple-
1st H.: They will become one
people!
2nd H.: Not now. Not after di-
vision. Look at your map. Doesn't
Gandhijee ever look at a map?
Two weak Moslem areas at each
end of India. Two hundred and
fifty million Hindu between them
--and condemned to impotence.
Hindustan will be at the mercy of
Pakistan. Pakistan will be drawn
away fromHindustan. The North
West Provinces will go with the
other Moslem states of the Middle
East. All these medieval states,
once ripe, will fall into Moscow's
lap.
1st H.: You exaggerate.
2nd H.: Not a bit. Who is now
arming the Moslem volunteer
army? Not the British. Who
will benefit from Pakistan? Not
the British. Russia, my friend,
Russia.
1st H.: Then you think you un-
derstand Britain's interest better
than London?
2nd H.: Think? I do not think,
I know. Anybody understands
Britain's interest better than the
British. Present-day Englishmen
are without wisdom. What did
they do after the last war? Weak-
ened their friends and strength-
ened their enemies, disarmed
France and armed Germany and
nored China. The British are al-
ways the last to understand Brit-
am's interest.
Now it is no different. The
The British are weakening the
Jews. They have lost the con-
fidence of the Turks. And now
theysare dividing ludia. To
please whom? Moslems, who
are going to follow Moscow's call
like children following the Pied
Piper.
A united India of 400,000,000
people with the only really good
army east of Suez, the ally of the
British, the Americans, the Chi-
nese, the Turks and the Palestine
Jews, would have been an insep-
erable barrier to Soviet expansion.
So what do the British do? They
split India. India will be seperat-
ed from the Americans and Brit-
ain by Pakistan. India will be
separated from China apd Burma
by Pakistan.
Who will benefit? Russia and
only Russia. Moscow will eat the
Moslem world, with its rotten feu-
dal society, like a melon, slice by
slice. And who will have prepared
the meal? The blind and foolish
British-and Hindus like you!
1st H.: If you lived in India
and not in America, you would
think differently. Do you not
know that in the recent disor-
ders, between Hindus and Mos-
lems, almost avhundred thou-
sand people have been killed?
Do you think this should just
have gone on while somebody
imposed unity on two peoples,
one of which wants separation?
Such disorder would have sure-
ly dragged the Russians into In-
dia. But with each community
strongly organized on a common
religious basis, there will be no
place for communism. Once In-
dia has found political stability,
the divided India of today will be
the united India of tomorrow.
2nd H.: Theory, theory. There
is no time for such dreams. The
divided India of today will be the
Soviet Republics of tomorrow.
And it will be India's fault.

The second convention of the
American Veterans' Committee
proved again that the AVC is the
greatest political workshop in
America for young veterans. The
AVC was founded to establish a
representative and progressive vet-
erans' movement in opposition to
the old-line, machine-dominated
organizations. Its 2,000 delegates
arrived in Milwaukee on June 20
and settled down to five days of
serious caucuses and platform
sessions lasting from supper un-
til breakfast. It grows light at
five in the morning at Milwaukee,
and for most delegates the long
weekend blurred into a sleepless
96 hour day.
Last year's convention at Des
Moines led to a close and bitter
fight, ending in a victory for the
"right".
This year the "left" wing came
to Milwaukee seeking broad sup-
port for its assertion that the
"right" was trying to impose one
point of view on the AVC by
machine methods.

I'D RATHER BE RIGHT:
Wobbly Attitudes
A
.
By SAMUEL GRAFTON
E WOBBLE badly on our attitudes to-
ward foreigners and foreign nations;
we have, in fact, two or three sets of con-
flicting attitudes toward them, and we have
a way of using, in each crisis, which ever is
most convenient.
Thus, when Russia advances westward
across Europe, we say she is engulfing
people who wish only a democratic way of
life, very much like ours. But when it is
proposed that 400,000 displaced persons
can be brought here from Europe under
the Straton blli, we shy away and murmur
that these people are not very much like
us that it would be hard to assimilate
them and to make Americans of them.
Sometimes (when we give aid to Greece
and Turkey) we are part of a complex called
"the western world," which we must defend,
we say, unto the death.
But sometimes also (as when we try to
pass a bill keeping sly foreign sheepgrowers
from sending their wool here) we shrink
rapidly down and become only a single, sep-
arate nation, not part of anything. Our
recent marriage with the world is a little
like that of a confirmed bachelor, who still
finds himself starting out for the club of,
an evening, forgetting.
Our feelings about the relative import-
ance of the other nations within the west-
ern world shift and vary wildly, too. When
Marshall Plan, we speak of our weaknesses
and of our limited capacity.
It seems to me, surprisingly enough, that
our attitudes toward foreigners and foreign
nations were perhaps clearer in the earlier
days of the republic. We had a genuine feel-
ing, in those early days, about the import-
ance of Europe, which has since been large-
ly degraded; and we had a physical close-
ness:, in the shape of unlimited immigra-
tion, which is also gone.
We wish to be a high, notable, barred,
exclusive edifice, well set back from the
sidewalk, but at the same time we want to
sell collar buttons, combs and cars to
everybody, and to have friends. We want
to be in the western world, we know we
have to be, but we also fear too much
familiarity, and an unrestricted sharing
of problems and mingling of peoples.
One wonders whether we have yet thought
through, on every level, and digested, the
meaning of our "abandonment of isolation."
For that phrase to have real content, it must
include a conception of destiny 1 ising above
mere predilection, and a willingness to live
in a crowded house if there be no other way
to be with and near friends, and of them.
