Despite well-publicized attacks on the State Department and Secretary of State Dean Acheson, actions by thoughful leaders of both parties this week made it plain that the bi-partisan approach to foreign policy may still weather the storm of noisy, head-line-hunting partisan assaults. More important than loyalty file disputes and mud-slinging attacks were events which showed that the administration and some Republicans put the nation’s welfare ahead of partisan politics and that the bi-partisan spirit which brought the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan into effect was far from dead. These reassuring developments included: (1) Former Republican Senator John Sherman Cooper of Kentucky was named as a top consultant to Secretary Acheson. Both the President and the Secretary had requested his services. Mr. Cooper will serve at the forthcoming meeting of the North Atlantic Council and the Western Big Three foreign ministers. In a sense Mr. Cooper will serve in the role formerly filled by Senator Arthur Vandenberg, whose ill health has prevented him from playing the dynamic part he has formerly held in bi-partisan conduct of foreign affairs. Senator Vandenberg was consulted and approved wholeheartedly of the Cooper appontment. (2) Senator Vandenberg, sensing the damage being done by partisan charges, issued an appeal for an “unpartisan” study of the great foreign policy questions in Europe and Asia. Senator Vandenberg intervened in the vexing situation by writing a letter to Paul Hoffman, the Republican Administrator of the Economic Cooperation Administration. President Truman wrote to Senator Vandenberg from Key West expressing his keen personal appreciation for his “great contribution” to our bi-partisan foreign policy, with special reference to EGA. (3) A great Republican elder statesman, Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of State under President Hoover and Secretary of War under Presidents Roosevelt and Truman, issued a statement defending Secretary Acheson against his detractors. Reading this statement, President Truman immediately gave credit to this Republican leader who is working to preserve national unity in regard to our foreign relations and thanked him for his contribution toward understanding of the problems faced by the Secretary of State. (4) Some Republicans disassociated themselves either by public statement or pointed silence from the announced effort of other Republicans to “get” Secretary Acheson and Republican Congressional voices joined Democratic voices in his defense, taking the exact opposite position of that espoused by the Chairman of the Republican National Committee. The great underlying danger of attacks designed to win quick political gain by undermining confidence in the State Department and in our bi-partisan foreign policy is that they might cause us to drift into the program-less isolationism which history has taught use is far more costly in lives and money than intelligent participation in international affairs. The peril of isolationism has not been removed from America. Intelligent bi-parti-san cooperation in the field of foreign relations is the best answer to that threat. Democrats can be proud that our party has gone more than half-way to keep that bi-partisan cooperation the dynamic force necessary to democratic peace in the world. Oscar Ewing, Federal Security Administrator, tells the story of our national health problems in a new recording adaptable to 15-minute radio program spots, with locally done opening and closing. A limited number of recordings is available for candidates to use on local stations. Write to Publicity Division, Democratic National Committee, Ring Building, Washington, D. C. A 32-page booklet on the President’s health program is under preparation and will be published shortly. It also will be available for use by candidates. Details

later.

An “open” Cabinet meeting—-the first in history—is planned as one of the features of the National Democratic Conference and Jefferson Jubilee at Chicago in May. The Cabinet members, in Chicago to attend the Conference, will report to the people on the condition of the Nation at, home and abroad. Following the Cabinet meetipg, a panel discussion of Civil Rights will be. held with Senators, Representatives and leaders of the party and interested groups participating. Among those who will take part will be ; Attorney General J. Howard McGrath and Congressman William A. Dawson, Vice

Chairman of the Democratic National Com-

mittee.

The meeting of the Cabinet and panel discussions of issues will be held Sunday and Monday, May 14 and 15. Monday night there wil Ibe a great rally in the Chicago Stadium. More than 20,000 persons are expected to attend the rally and hear a major address by the President. Admission to all events will be free. Demo National Chariman William M. Boyle Jr. Makes Statement on Charges Mr. Stimson’s statement on the charges against the State Department is of such interest, in view of his undoubted loyalty and his broad experience, that I thought you would want to read it in some detail. It follows in slightly abbreviated form: “First, this is most emphatically not the proper way in which to insure loyalty of Government employes. If that had been the purpose of the accuser, he would have used the fully developed and tested procedure of the executive branch of the Government, under which charges are investigated and weighed by men of both parties and unimpeachable integrity . . . The fact that the accuser has wholly ignored this well-established method indicates that his interest is of a different

character.

“Second, no matter what else may occur, the present charges have already spattered mud upon individuals of the highest integrity, and in the present state of the world the denial cannot always overtake the accusation. It should by now be wholly clear that indiscriminate accusations of this sort are doubly offensive; they damage the innocent, and they help protect the guilty. For if the accuser is so stupid as to connect a man like Ambassador Jessup with communism, are not all such accusations made suspect ? “Third, and more important by far, the method of the present charges directly and dangerously impedes the conduct of the foreign affairs of our Government. It creates abroad a feeling that we are frightened and suspicious of each other; it diverts our attention, at home, from the genuine and pressing problems of our foreign affairs; it requires of many high officials that they desert their proper duties in order to prepare and deliver such extensive replies as that of

Mr. Jessup . . .

“Fourth, it seems to me quite clear that the real motive of the accuser in this case is to cast discredit upon the Secretary of State of the United States. This man is not trying to get rid of known Communists in the State Department; he is hoping against hope that he will find some. “Fortunately, the Secretary of State needs no defense from me. No one who knows his extraordinary record of able and disinterested public service can believe that he is in any danger from these little men. It is already obvious that in any test of personal confidence, the men of honor in both parties will choose to stand with the Secretary . . . “Every Secretary of State, second only to his President, and alone among appointive officers of the Government, stands before the world as the representative of the United

States of America . . .

“The American Government, led by the President and the Secretary of State, is currently engaged in a major effort to give leadership to the country in a time of changing international conditions and grave world tension. This effort will require, as part of our democratic process, widespread and earnest public consideration of the great problems now before us, so that the ultimate decision will surely reflect the basic steadiness

and faith of our people.

“In such public consideration there is always room for honest differences, but now, as for many years past, the formulation of foreign policy most urgently demands an adjustment of mere partisanship. “This is no time to let the noisy antics of a few upset the steady^ purpose of our country or distract our leaders from their proper tasks. This is rather a time for stern rebuke of such antics and outspoken support of the distinguished public servants against

whom they are directed.”

Similar Changes

The most inflammatory episode in the story of British dissensions of the time was a spy plot forged by one Ttius Oates. It is pure coincidence that Oates framed his charges in the form of 81 articles, the identical number of the cases which Senator McCarthy presented to the Senate this last February in his case against the State Department. Except in the coincidence of the number 81 there are few parallels between the stories. The Oates case was pure forgery. Senator McCarthy built up his cases from factual and public records, the only trouble with them being, that they are all old and have all long since been the subject of judicial review. The Oates charges sent many a man to the scaffold before the fraud was established. The McCarthy charges have not yet caused any loss of life. The Oates charges were framed by a Protestant against Roman Catholics. The McCarthy charges are framed by a Republican who is only incidentally a Roman Catholic against a department of government which has many

Roman Catholics on its payroll.

But in addition to the curious, but unimportant, repetition of the number 81 the two stories have one further fact in common. They both underminded public confidence in the government and weakened the ability of the government to concert and | execute policies sufficient to the needs of

the times. — —Christian Science Monitor.

Do you want health insurance that is a sickness tax?

From where I sit... Jy Joe Marsh

Gabby Enjoys Going to The Dentist

One of my molars was giving me a bad time Tuesday afternoon, so I slipped over to Doc Jones, hoping to catch him free. When I arrived, Gabby Jackson was sitting there reading a magazine. I said hello to Gabby and he nodded. Doc comes out and says I’m next. “Wait a minute,” I says. (My tooth seemed to have stopped aching.) “How about Gabby — doesn’t he have an appointment?” Doc smiles and says, “Gabby? Why, he’s got the finest teeth in the county. He just comes up here and reads the magazines whenever he’s in town!”

As Doc went to work he told me that he’s glad to have Gabby come up and read magazines . . . they might not all be fresh off the newsstand, but if Gabby—or anyone wants to while away some time who is he to stand in their way? From where I sit, this “live and let live” spirit helps make America what it is. If I prefer a friendly glass of beer with my supper and you prefer milk—who’s to say one’s right and the other wrong?

Socialized Medicine guarantees just one thing— more taxes out of your pocket! It is not insurance. Your benefits are neither specified nor guaranteed. You get medical care “insofar as possible” and “when facilities are available.” Certainly you want protection against the financial slvocx of accident or illness. The only question is: How will you have it—on a voluntary basis with guaranteed protection or as compulsory “low-quality, high-priced medicine, with nothing guaranteed! Our nation s health is at an all-time high under the present system. Let’s keep it that way. Tell the Congress of the U.S. A. you are opposed to government, controlled health insurance, but favor voluntary health insurance. Your future depends on what Congress does. Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.
