That probably was the most nearly true thing that was said at the convention. Had such a calamity befallen the country as to have Wallace in the White | House, our government would have been so thoroughly ! infiltrated with Reds, “guruists,” fellow travelers and plain crackpots that our policy would be guided by telephone from Moscow—if we assume the people would stand for it. Wallace is wrong, that he could “avoid trouble” getting out wherever the Kremlin wants us out. he has read the papers in recent months he should have noted that not even countries which submit to Communistic vassalage “get along” with Russia. Henry should ponder, sometime, the sad careers of Jan Masaryk, Edouard Benes, Marshal Tito and a few others.

Representatives of 54 nations sat down to probe into the basic stuff of a' freedom which heretofore has had only the haziest sort of recognition. What emerged was the concept of freedom of information as a fundamental human right over and above individual governmental policies. | This is a conceptthat will take time to jell, but it ié an impressive start. The conference came forward with three draft international conventions, two articles for inclusion in the U. N. Declaration and Covenant on Human Rights and 43 resolutions. It is significant that the United States delegation was able to support all but a handful of the proposals adopted, and on only one point did the conference vote to accept a statement seriously contrary to American views. This was the (ndian amendment to the British convention, an amendment which admits the right of a government | to impose penalties on the press for systematic dic- | tortion of news. None of the conventions can become ‘bindmg of coursae until ratified by individual govern- mcnts and even then the conventions are permissive rather than mandatory. In no small degree the tack taken by the confer- press freedom. The accent was gradually shifted from responsibilities of the press, assiduously promoted by ! the Soviet bloe, to the rights of peoples to receive information. While recognizing the dangers in abuses by the press, the American delega- | tion took the stand that the greater danger was in governmental control and that responsibility is itself the outgrowth of an uncontrolled press. The American /convention, adopted by a large vote, recognizes as un- | restricted the right of correspondents to gather and {transmit news, calls for freedom of entry for cor- r(‘spondenh and sharply defines and limits the Ius—K !tifications of censorship. History Repeats (Cincinnati Enquirer) We're hearing considerable talk these days about the “death” of the Democratic Party. And, as in an- other well-known case, we're inclined to think that the | reports are “highly exaggergated.” In fact, such a contingency would be most unfortunate. ! States has thrived long and prospered under the two- fparlv system. There is no reason to believe we'd do | better under a single party. Today's discussions carry us back—a little regret- | fully, perhaps—to another day when the rumor boys} were tolling pmnalurelv the death knell of another | great political party. In 1932, when F. D. R. was run- ning for President of the United States, conditions | were similar in many ways to those of the moment. But the GOP didn’t die, as predicted. It survived 14 minority years and came back to win both houses of Congress in 1946. { November. | In 1932 the Democrats were in the ascendancy. | Their candidates had been voted to majority leader- {ship in both houses of Congress two years earlier. It was a foregone conclusion that they'd win the Presi- |dency in the fall elections. Under those conditions— | as now—dire predictions were issued. Certainly the Republican Party of 1932 was in a poor poesition. The great depression had brought to its leadership much undeserved discredit. There was a ‘dlstressmg disorganization within its ranks. But the lasting inner strength of the party and the driving will of Americans to maintain the two-party system carried the GOP through to its current success. The same probably will be true of the Democrats. {Today they are as disorganized as—and perhaps more | ‘so than—the Republicans were in 1932. But we don't, ipelieve the group will be dissolved; that its useful- \ness as the party of the opposition will evaporate. |We foresee a vigorous service for the followers of Jefferson during the next few years.
