In the chaos that Derothy Thompson. ensued, Midianites slaughtered each other and Gideon's handful seized victory. Mr. Wallace’s brain-trusters hope for a similar outcome—a campaign which will confuse all issues, until in the end nobody will know who’s who or what’s what. He made a good start. Like all demagogues, he put up a straw man to excite fears—the anonymous “evil” men-—~Democrats, Republicans, “monopolists,”” and everybody else except Mr. Wallace and his backers. He promised the moon without coming to grips with a single prob- lem. Every one wants peace and prosperity, and at the moment the United States has both. It also has inflation; a world in the doldrums which contributes to it, and fear of war, since civil wars aiready rage in many parts of the globe. But Mr, Wallace has the cure. What? Elect Mr, Wallace. Has Program of Words. What does he offer? Well, a “youth” program “for abundance aid security.” But what program? “Vie can prevent a depression if only we organize for peace in the same comprehensive way we organize for War.” What does that mean? In ‘war you have conscription of man- power, restrictions on consumption,! immense : 4R-NDSE- FO Fr priorities on materials, bureaucracies, forced savings and gigantic deficits endured because there is an external enemy and all desires are subservient to victory.: You cannot organize for peace as! you organize for war because peace: and war are antitheses. The part of Mr. Wallace’s speech dealing with Russia might have been written in the-Daily Worker. We-—not the Soviets—have parti- tioned Europe. We—not the Soviets—are war- makers, . Weelnot thie. “Soviets—have balked. international * éontrol of energy. Toere is, af coyvrca, a mild rebuke ta tne Soviets. They should “re- strain their extremists.” What ex- atomic ing.” “Parliamentarianism is a form of: 'the oourgeois state. The task of | the proletariat consists in blowing} up the whole machinery and all: parliamentary institutions.” Program of Violence. “The conquest of power does °* cot! mean ‘peacefully’ capturing the! ‘state. The state is captured for the purpose of the violent overthrow of} bourgeois power, destruction of’ the state apparatus—armies, police,; bureaucracy, judiciary, parliaments.” “The Soviet State is the armed proletarian state.” : Are the above quotations from‘ “spreaders of hate and falsehood: against Russia’—against whom Mr.’ Wallace warns? No. They are direct quotations! from the programs, statutes and! theses of Communist International: congresses, whose policies are those’ of the Soviet Union. Mr. Wallace asked people to Jet him know that “they have come out fighting against the powers of evil.” What “powers of evil?” There is a power of evil that is using Mr. Wallace, to divide America and deliver it over to its sworn enemies. Its growth points the way, not to peace, but to dreadful civil strife—which the Soviets are instigating wherever they do not yet have power—and which the iVommunist International has re-, peatedly affirmed is the “only” and i “inevitable” way to “peace.” i (Released by the Bell Syndicate. tne.) 50 Ladd ~, Quinn Tamm_ Nease Miss Gandy FEB 28. 194g a at: ue re "iE eZziea Mop lasise ARE?
