M) | murth Avenue Bidg., Besttle, "VasiL s bmain- itk e | | | TRUMAN’S VICTORY According to the BBC short wave broadecas: by BIS listening post of Noxember 5 as received by The Empire, President Truman's victory remains a good talking point and two papers discussed its significance The Dally Mirror says that it means that the American people have taken a decisive step on the road to full democracy and have turned away from the old tradi- tion of Wall Street and Big Business. The Mirror declares that stories reaching this country about American luxurious living have only a ballyhoo value. It is not the American working man and his family who are having the good time; they have found that rising wages are no good against soaring prices. So now, says the Mirror, the American man in fhe street has spoken with a clearer voice than ever beforc and has demonstrated his power, hi¢ common sensc and his determination not to go backwards. The News Chronicle calls the victory of the Demo- crats “a triumph for the radical tradition.” The paper says: “The days of privilege are drawing to a close in all the democratic communities, in the United States and Western Europe alike.” The ,News Chronicle thinks that, at present, this development is naturally favoring the left and center parties. It then questions how far the middle class voter will influence the elections of governments, es- pecialy in Britain at the next General Election, and it says that it is impossible to make an accurate prediction. The paper declares: “A hundred different factors may influence British middle class reactions to five years of Socialist rule, and so the game of wm\;\n} Blind; Mayy's Buff must g0’ on until the re- sults are known. ’ Fate is a grim joker. Recently a man hurrying to a safety-council conference was killed when his car overturned on a curve. “In buzzing our Airlift planes in Berlin the Rus. sians are playing with dynamite,” declares a new: | commentator. atomic bomb. he thinks hell is. Few houses have enough closet space to keep it in. cyclone “A family of four can be adequately fed for less chan $1 a day,” says a dietician. A family of four what—canaries? Man suffers more ills than other creatures. Bemg 1 human being is extremely hard on the constitution | and trying on the nerves. Women contend that this is a man’s world, but | everywhere we go we find the place terribly cluttered up with women. Not Polite (Cincinnati Enquirer) It probably will do no harm to alter our pro- paganda policy toward Russia as indicated from Washington. Up to now we have held our propaganda operations to more or less factual accounts in keeme, with Secretary of State Marshall's instructions, when he took over about two years ago. Now, apparently, Marshall's subordinates in the Department of State can remove a few of their official inhibitions. We note, for instance, that Charles E. Saltzman, an Assistant Secretary of State, unburdened himself of a few senti- ments close to his heart during the course of an ad- vy of New Hampshire a day or so ago. He sald In so many words that the Soviet| cion, subterfuge, duplicity or double dealing that serves their purpose. One may rest assured that Mr. Saltz- mann had to clear with the boss before he said that. Of course, what he said is nothing new. It can| be documented in the Marx-Lenin-Stalinist literature which is available to everyone. And although Soviet Government officials and diplomats seldom have stop- ped speaking in harsh terms about the shortcomings of the United States, our own governmental servants have not been allowed up to now to return the com- pliments in kind. It wasn’t considered polite, or some- thing. Canadian Politics (Prince Rupert Daily News) The summer, politically speaking, has been ac- tive. The by-elections and conventions to choose na- tional party leaders have been singularly free from extremes of language or over-emphasized zeal. In fact, comparing public life in Canada now, with what is was a few generations ago, reveals an im- pressive difference. There was plain speaking in the eighties, the nineties, as well as later. Numerous scoundrels were at large. So platform speakers de- clared although no one was under compulsion to believe such remarks. Campaigns were as hot as prejudice, old scores, race, religion and hard times could make them. The Notrhwest Rebellion, the were only a few of the higher lights. matters brisled with unsolved points. Today Canada has her problems but differing in character and on a wider basis. Unity continues to be | urgent but there is less necessity and reason.

One might even say they are among the fundamental necessities. | Morton Street, The Washingfon Merry-Go-Round By DREW PEARSON ‘Contirued from Page Omne) “Dear John: this year. them guilty in advance.” Paterson, which read in part: “You you probably know, the Dies | | Committee is winding up its affairs | We have had with us|naticnal health, safety or interest, | for the past six and one-half years -lhe following }a man by the name of Robert | mitted.” Stripling, whose title has been1 ‘chlel clerk and chief investigator. ‘how Stripling should apply to his is gradually moving further away from purely domestic disputes and drawing closer to nationhood and the broader outlook.

S. troops entered Germany. | PARNELL THOMAS' AMERICANISM Public indignation over Congress- man J. Parnell Thomas' practice of getting salary “kickbacks” from low-paid clerks and stenographers has diverted attention from an- other little Parnellian practice — namely keeping men away from army combat and then collecting ifrom their families During the war, when Thomas also was 4 member of the impor- tant Military Affairs Committee, he got two soldiers—George Tiplitz of and Edward Allen Kimmel of Long Beach, N. Y.—transferred away from combat. Later they and their families contributed $850 to Mr Thomas' re-election campaign, though they did not live in the Congressman's New Jersey dis- trict. However, humble apologies are offered to Congressman Thomas for underrating his ability in this direction. The two men mentioned above were not his only achieve- ment in war-service-dodging. On Nov. 16, 1944, Thomas wrote a letter to John Flagg, of the Watson Flagg Engineering Co., 24 By Stripling . . . now finds himself in | a position where he either has to get a job with a company doing defense work or be drafted. “He is 32 years of age, he has a wife and one child, and is mak- | ing his residence in Washington. | But weuld be willing to move am-‘ where in the east . that he would hit 1mo your setup, I am quite sure that he would be pleased to talk the matter over with you. Let me know if there is any interest.” FOUR TIMES DEFERRED The fact was that Stripling, the | chief investigator for a committee | supposed to set an example to thew | world of good Americanism, was | four times deferred. At that date, | | just before the Battle of the Bulge, | men considerably older and with | more children were being induct- ed. | So, when Stripling’s draft board | refused to defer him any longer, ! Congressman Thomas tried to get him a “war" job.
