Henry a Wallace — Part 3

mutual agreement with the Soviet Union; as to the internal policy
he is in favor of the struggle of democratic freedom within the
frame of the American constitution, he is in favor of lowering the .
prices, doing away with the anti-labor TAFT-HARTLEY bill; he is in -
favor of improving the puniie education and he objects to class
discrimination. .
WALLACE' s success sin the election campaign prove that this
program meets with support of the waste masses of the American people.
One has to remark that WALLACE's book gives evidence in several
places how the author imagines some of the things in a naive and
Utopim way. Here especially comes the idea that there is the
possibility of creating in the USA the "progressive capitalism" and
that it is possible to "reform" capitalism. In other places it is
evident how deeply rooted some of the prejudices against the Soviet
Union are. Even WALLACE subdues to them sometime. For instance he
speaks about some sort of "fear" 6f the Soviet Union before the ;
Western Powers and the "isolation" on the part of the Soviet Union.
In spite of these weak spots the new WALLACE's book helps
the American reader to orient himself in the world situation ad helps
him to understand where the actual reasons for the tense situation
of the present world rests. WALLACE's program distinguishes itself
also for the fact that it represents a wide platform upon which at
present the progressive powers of the USA are wmited. .
The American people, like the people of other nations, are
thirsting for peace. The feeling that, they must defend their —
democratic rights against the attacks of rapacious monopoly masters,
is pmetrating deeper and deeper. The increasing self-consciousness
of masses gives new strength to the movement which is led by WALLACE;
this strength will have considerable influence at the November
Presidential elections. No matter what the result of the elections
will be, the democratic powers which are now uniting themselves in .
the United States, will also in the future play an important role in
the political life of the USA. _
