NIGHT EDITOR: FRED SCHOTT B~erle Alarm ADLF BERLE, chairman of the Liberal Party in New York, expressed alarm to President Truman, July 8, concerning "agitation for a third party" among sup- porters of Henry A. Wallace. He declared, according to the Associated Press, that a third party would (1) split the Democrats, (2) divide "progressive elements," and (3) result in the election of "isolationist Re- publicans" in the 1948 presidential cam- paign. Berle's alarm may well be justified, if the throngs who turned out to hear Wallace at first-hand on his recent tour are any indication. The noon-hour audience at Hill Auditorium, it seems, was eclipsed in sev- eral cities. Wallace spoke in Cleveland to 5,500 persons, in Minneapolis to 6,000, in San Francisco 6,500, Austin 10,000, Oakland 10,000, Detroit 10,000, Berkeley 20,000, Chi- cago 23,000, and Los Angeles 29,000. Berle's analysis, however, does not equal his state of anxiety. With a little sober re- flection, he may observe that (1) the Dem- ocrats are already split, (2) the progressive elements would be defined rather than di- vieded by a third party, and (3) there is no assurance that "isolationist Republicans" will not be elected in the 1948 presidential campaign, third party or no third party. Berle's intimation, by the way, is that "iso- lationist Republicans" are preferred to "iso- lationist" Democrats. . The Berle analysis fits into the reasoning that, as capture of the presidency by a full- blown third party at the first crack is not assured, there should therefore be no at- tempts to create a third party "just now." The shortcoming of such practical, expe- dient analyses is that the "just now" at- mosphere precedes every. election. Long- range impotency of the progressive forces is the result. -Malcolm Wright Paris Parley WHEN THE PARIS conference on eco- nomic co-operation opens today, one important question in the minds of the del- egates will be how far American aid can go without becoming interference in their domestic affairs. The Soviet Union, having prejudged the question, boycotts the con- ference and persuades some of its satel- lites to do so. Other countries, notably Czechoslovakia and Italy, want to find out exactly what the Marshall plan involves. It is important for Americans also to think that question through. One widespread impression seems to be that the purpose of the Marshall plan is (or should be) to fight Socialism-to build up a private-enterprise bloc with which this country can trade and establish amicable relations. If that becomes the objective, the Marshall plan is doomed to failure. There are several reasons why we can- riot hope to establish in Europe a private- enterprise economy in our own image. One is that; to the Europeans, capitalism is a ghost of the past--a discredited system un- der which Fascism rose to power. Another reason is that Europe simply cannot solve its enormous reconstruction probems with- out resorting to state planning and con- trols of a kind which orthodox free enter- prise would not tolerate. Such are the objections to a capitalist crusade from Europe's point of view. From By EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER MR. MOLOTOV's indignant charge that the Marshall plan is "splitting Europe" must strike every informed observer as a good joke. Every informed observer knows that Stal- in himself split Europe when he grabbed and kept the eastern half of it. What he obviously hoped was to hold the East and keep the rest "neutral." He has not suc- ceeded. One may -hope that the price of Stal- in's having anything further to say in Europe west of the Trieste-Stettin Line will be his willingness to release the countries to the east of that line. The surprising thing is not that Wash- ington, London and Paris have decided to rehabilitate western Europe but that they did not do so earlier. Back in 1941 President Roosevelt, play- Much Ado.. WHILE THE REPUBLICANS in Congress rush about making much ado over a cut in the public's income tax load, concurrent legislation is guaranteeing an even great- er tax burden in the future and simultan- eously is boosting our spiralling inflation. With prices rising on every hand, Con- gress has been so bold or so blind as to: write a new rent control law that invites higher rents; vote in the House to cash terminal leave bonds for ex-servicemen af- ter September; give committee approval to proposed increases in vet subsistence; all of which are indefensible from the common man's point of view. It is he who suffers when prices spiral upward and each of these measures is a spur to accelerate the climb. According to the law, rent increases are to be permitted only in voluntary exchange for a two-year lease. In practice, the law works differently. Mass eviction in many cities seems in prospect for tenants who can't or won't agree to pay more rent. A court eviction notice will turn the trick and is granted if the tenant is a nuisance or immoral, or if the owner wants to re- model, demolish, occupy or sell the house to a buyer who will occupy. Once the place is vacant, the landlord will have no trouble finding renters ready to make those "volun- tary" agreements. Succumbing to the pressure of service- men, that beautiful hunk of voting strength, the House has voted to throw more dollars into the gorged competitive market by cash- ing terminal leave bonds in the fall rather than five years hence. The action seems quite reasonable when it is remembered that officers got their terminal pay in cash, but it is quite plain that the money would buy more in five years than at present, nor is it needed today as badly as it likely will be needed in five years. Another move which will heighten the dollar flood on the market if passed is the proposed handout to veterans going to school or taking on-the-job training. The bill would call for an estimated $217 mill- ion annually. It seems we vets still have to pay a little out of our own pockets for an education. There are still a few with backbone enough to earn part of their fare, but the tearful college boys who recently trooped to Washington apparently con- vinced the Senate interviewing committee that working on the side interfered with their dating schedule and was unbecoming a student besides. Granted the veteran deserves a break, but he needn't go on pub- lic dole or be forced by over-generous con- gressmen to bid up the price of scarce goods. Finally, the tax cut bill itself might be considered inopportune. Income tax dol- lars could well be used during prosperity to pay off the national debt, which be- comes so burdensome in a depression. At the same time, a high income tax would withdraw extra dollars from circulation and help to avert another great depression. -Ted Miller Five Robberies 4FTER ALL the police warnings given to students as a result of the current camp-. us crime wave, a good many people, par- ticularly the occupants of fraternity houses, are still leaving doors unlocked. In all five robberies in recent weeks, po- lice have reported that the intruder (De- teetive Dameron of Ann Arbor police says the robberies are"undoubtedly the work of the same person) has entered through un- locked doors. It seems strange that this fact has not been sufficiently impressed upon fraternity officers. Although it may have been house policy to leave doors un- locked in the past, surely it is time now to discourage the robber by locking him out. The particular vulnerability of fraternity houses has been recognized by police for some time. For more than a year Ann Ar- bor Chief of Detectives Albert Heusel has been trying to persuade houses to lock up or at least to secure valuables, especially those houses with the dormitory sleeping system, whereby occupants withdraw from study ing a generous hunch, decided to give all possible help to the Soviet Union without asking anything in return. Later in 1942, fortified by his victory at Stalingrad, Stalin took advantage of Roosevelt's trust to stake out the same vast vlaim on eastern Europe which Hit- ler had refused. When did this Soviet policy become ap- parent? I spent part of the July Fourth weekend going over my own columns of recent years in order to check my own reactions at the time. I found that-roughly-my line was dou- ble. A dislike of Russian actions grew slowly against a background of earnest hope that the war-found friendship between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. could be maintained. The first reaction was in June, 1943. It had to do with Stain's treatment of the London Poles. (It was obvious that no great power alliance could last indefin- itely unless integrated in an internation- al organization.) About the same time I opposed a formal American tie-up with Britain lest it increase Soviet suspicion of the West. By July 1943 I was asking whether--in view of his five-fold refusal to meet Roose- velt-Stalin really wanted a common policy with us after the war. In August, profound differences between Moscow and the West concerning Germany had appeared. My uneasiness grew right up to the Mos- cow and Teheran conferences. I found the Teheran declaration a "bitter disap- pointment." "Joe Stalin apparently insists on Russia's right to absorb reluctant peoples for stra- tegic reasons". (Nov. 30, 1943.) "A Russian cordon sanitaire against Eur- ope would be as objectionable as a European cordon sanitaire against Russia". (Dec. 28, 1943). The record shows that despite my own increasing belief that Stalin's actions in eastern.nEurope, Chin) and the Middle East were making real settlement difficult, I stubbornly clung to the hope that such a settlement could be found. A visit to Germany in February-March, 1946, finally convinced me that a divided Germany was virtually inevitable. While in Germany, I first admitted openly something I had long suspected, namely, that far from being an obstacle to a settlement with Russia, a western European bloc under Anglo-American auspices might be the only path to such settlement. Apparently, the US. and Britain would not be able to get along with Russia until they had demonstrated their ability to get along without Russia. It seems to me that my own development was probably that of many Americans. Therefore I do not think we should in- terpret Russia's angry reaction to the Mar- shall plan as a step toward war. (Copyright 1947, Press Alliance,,Inc.) Printed - (eh NEWSPAPERS ALWAYS get lots of mail, most of it without asking. The other day a stuffed envelope arrived from the Argentine Embassy in Washington. It contained the fll text of Argentine Pres- ident Juan Peron's recent address entitled "Universal Fraternization." In the speech, which was addressed to "citizens of the world and countrymen," Peron allied America and Argentina. He said that both countries "wish to contri- bute to the dignification of men." And, according to Peron, "to this end, they en- deavor to fraternize with the suffering world. The banner of this crusade is soli- darity." On Page 3 of the full text, Peron gets around to saying that ". . . we must con- vey to the old contint especially, source of culture of the new hemisphere, first all the experience gathered in this critical cycle of revolutionary upheavals which, borne in the heart of America and of the world, serve to awaken in the citizens of the coun- try strong impulses towards new destinies. It is the sacred duty of America which im- poses this course of action. It is the Ar- gentine spirit of liberty, real and deeply rooted, which points out the road. Our feel- ings and our convictions, over and above imperfection, seek to alleviate the suffer- ing of mankind. The Argentine policy has been, is and will always be pacifist and gen- erous." And so on. We especially note the qualification on Ar- gentina's spirit of liberty, "real and deeply rooted." And we're very curious about Ar-' gentina's new role of saviour of the "old continent." Maybe that's what Mrs. Peron is doing abroad, saving Europe. The blurb at the beginning of the address tells us to "file for reference." -Euiice Mintz a /// % i i /All Sell Letters to the Editor...
