They believe in using the American power to organize the world against the U. S. S. R.”
Attack on Imperialism Mr. Wallace attacked an article in the magazine Life Which advocated establishment of an “American empire.” “I'm utterly opposed to this poliey. Speaking on the second anniver- | sary of President Roosevelt's death, Mr. Wallace said the progressive! forces in the United States were| divided and seeking leadership. i “The Roosevelt spirit of joyous service to mankind was never so needed at it is today.

With several months of cams« paigns by health groups, national relief organizations and church and civie groups in the offing, there is a widespread fear that people store up resentment and vent th feelings on the Community Fund when its drive comes up in October, the leaders said. J Fermor ‘8. Cannon, Community Fund president, said he did not believe this would be the case, “since most people realize the fund for non-member
“The Community Fund has clearly defined areas which it commits itself to support and this, I think, has been clearly presented to the people,” he said. Can't Refuse Authority
“There is no way the Community Fund can give or refuse authority to solicit to these other organizations. “The Community Fund has a special claim on the support of the community because it works in and for the community. The rest of the donations given to all these things is taking money out. He added that many groups which sprang up during the war, were supported in the war fund and are now perpetuating themselves by independent campaigns. The growing difficulty of attaining inflated goals will weed out a majority of these in a short time, Mr. Cannon asserted.
