Any intimidation, indication or stggéstion otherwise is, as the radio broadcasters say, purely coincidental. : . Mr: Truman, and his political master- minds, have a cleat idea of the way to win oftice. It is,patterned, in part, by the per- formance of the late Franklin D. Rosevelt. The belief is general that the system will work, in years of peace, 4s well as in years when the world was preparing for and waging one of the most decisive wars in the history of mankind. If any so-called average citizens are interested in the formula here it is: (1) Carefully court many politically- minded groups which, although obviously minority aggrégations, are so organized and directed as to respond to presidential recognition oftheir interests. This in- cludes: _ (a) A pro-labor stand upon economic issues affecting organized workers. (b) A pro-farm. program of cash pay- ments to crop-growefs, with ' especial bows to leaders of organized farmers. (c) A foreign policy carefully direct- ed to winning support of hyphenated-Am- ericans whose interest in general affairs is entirely outweighed by their support of a single phase of international affairs. (a) A domestic policy designed to win the support of racial and religious groups by appealing to their emotional response to stimuli emanating from lead- ers who are in a position to exert pressure because of organized direction along spec- ified lines, (2) Governmental spending, as hec- essary, to insure, if possible, “prosperity” to the massed millions to the low-income ‘group and careful cultivation of economic optimism to prevent popular pessimism which might severely restrict buying, thus producing a depression. (3) Complete control of the Demo- cratic party, with special efforts to erase the disaffection . manifested .in. - the Southern States in 1948 when the eléetoral votes of four states were lost. This latter purpose is subordinate to numbers One and Two because of the belief that the Southerners will not make their admitted } resentment effective in the 1952 race, and that, consequently, there is less likelihood of political injury in the South than else- where. eet So far, nobody has devised a way to develop a business without somebody put- ting in hard work and experience. BEGGARS WITH “CONDITIONS” In Shanghai, China, General Chen Yi, one of the Chinese Communist lead- ers, recently faced the fact that material and technical help would be needed by his country. to, develop and thatthe Soviet Union, and its family of Communist na- tions, now preoccupied with their own re- construction, would be unable to bear the burden of such help. The conclusion of the General was that the help would have to come from somewhere else and according to reliable reports, intimated that aid from any for- eign nation, including the United States and Great Britain, would be welcome, provided. it was offered on the basis of “sovereign equality”. He insisted that Communist China would not beg for as- sistance and would not accept it with “im- perialistic conditions attached.” While the General may not have had the authority to speak for the Communist Party, the attitude expressed, no doubt, reflects that of the leaders of the Red fae- tion in China. Granting the correctness of his conclusion, that China needs outside assistance, those living in the so-called “eapitalist’”’ countries including the United States, might be pardoned for smiling at terms and conditions of the aid to be “ac- cepted.” It is about time for the United States to seriously consider the advantages fhat might accrue from letting indigent people of undeveloped areas ‘stew in their own juice.” If the rulers of these parts of the world do not wish to cooperate with West- ern elvilization, they might as well learn that what happens will be more painful to them’than to the “capitalist” country they very frequently denounce, If alive, he will seek the renomination of FROM OF THE CITIZEN JUNE 23,1909 Fernando Camus found a black widow spider yesterday on the Roosevelt boulevard, ‘and it was brought to The Citizenieffice this morning by Leo Warrtn; head of the WPA safety organization.
