' in this country, one whose views cany greater weight perhaps than those of any of the other columnists. He is an independent Democrat. He supported the late Franklin D. Roosevelt although disagreeing with him in many instances. Mr. Lippman^ like thousands of other citizens all over the country seems to think that Mr# Truman reached a new lo^W at the Philadelphia convention^ “In the annals of tKe American govern ment,** he says, “the scene enacted by Mr. TVuwan in the middle of the night at the close of the Democratic convention is unique in its disregard for the dignity of his office and the proprieties of the Con- ftitution. It was not pretty tp think of the President of the United States hanging aiound .backstage for hours, waiting to ac cept a nomination which had not yet been tendered him. Even though he knew that the convention had no alternative but to nominate him, a decent regard for the forms of democracy would have told Ibim that until the delegates had voted, they were in principle free to make another choice, and that, like Governor Dewey, who waited in his hotel, he must not enter the hall. “But his action when he appeared be fore the delegates was An evem more flag rant departure from thp standards of con duct which ^e PrMidenl of the United States is in honor bound to preserve. In the early hours of the morning, in the, pres ence of a disorderly partisan meeting, Mr. Truman announced that he' was convening ^e Congress for the purpose of promoting his own election. **The Congress belongs to the whole peo ple, not to a party, and it is an abuse of the Constitutional power of the President to convene it in extraordinary session un der these circumstances for these purposes. Mr. Truman cannot even pretend that the public interest comp^fied him to call the special session. For if his main concern were inflation and housing, he would have told Congress when it adjourned that he would udl it back as soon as the oonvmi- tions were over. He would never have waited to announce that decision until he could tae it to give a kick and a punch to his own personal campaign for election. **Were fhis interest in the measures he mentioned sincere U the sense that he wants them enacted, he Asbuld have told the Republican and Democratic leaders of Congress weeks ago that they must stay in . Washington all summer to deal with them. He did hot do that** Mr. Uppman then went on to say of the ' President, that “the most' serious aspect of the matter is the disclosure of how thin and fragile are the safeguards and re- ^ straints of Tits own conception of the pub lic interest how secondary and subordinate they are likely to be in the strategy and tactics of his campaign.** Then Mr. Uppman poses this vital queil- • tion: **The question U wbatt else Mr. Truman urill do if somci smart advisor tells ^lim ha can gat soma votes. Thara is no kimwing. A man who in one a special session of Congrtsi in order to pracipitaite a fight on domestic issues and will knock the moral foundations from under the bi- partUan foreign policy, has cast away realraints which would make his ac tions predictable. **Tlio international crisis is vary gravair What assurance is there that' Mr. Truman, who is a weak Presidmit fusd is at heart a jingc^ will resist the tamptelion to aspalt H?

Truman offered no high or spiritual note in his address to the conven tion did not disturb them,” he says. “Such words and sentimenta were out of place in the gamble that is being ventured.** When one considers that Mr. Truman is a product of one of the most corrupt politi cal marines that every disgraced the coun try, the head of the machine (Boss Pren- dengrast) finally having been sent to jail, one does not wonder that he is willing to risk the welfare of the nation in an attempt to gain a political advantage. He cannot longer be trusted to the lead ership of this great country in such an hour as tl^ when its life is at stake.

This left three possible couines of action open to the white Southern Democrats They could name nominees of their own, they cpuld support the Republican nomi nees or they could refrain from voting at all. l^e last choice is too passive and ap peals to very, very few men. ^ At Birmingham, Ala., last Saturday a convention was held of Southern white Democrats and a ticket was put in the field that every white Southern Democrat can support. Governor J. Strom Thurmond, of South Carolina, was named for President and Governor Fielding Wright, of Mtosis- aippi, was named for Vice President. Both are able men, true Southerners and both have put up a coui^geoua figh^ for the South. Aii^ Southerner can vote for them with his head erect. As for Soutiiem support of Mr. Truman, William D. Workman, Jr., of the News and Courier, Charleston, who attended the Philadelphia convention, wrote: “If the white Democrats of the South subscribe to the party and platform of 1948, they will have abandoned all self-re spect, all claim to the heritage aa 'lighting Southemen*, all fegard for the tradition of state sovereignty, and all hope of con tinuing what we call the ‘Southern way of life.’ *’ All of which is well put! Suppose a group of radicals and left wingers should get control of Kiwanis or Rotary or the Ldona or some, other great civic organiMtion and at a natioiiaFcoh- vention of the organization jeer and hoot at Southerners And adopt resolutions re pugnant to them! Would Southern men stay in such an organization? They would NOT. • Years ago the Baptist, Meihodiste and Presbyterians of the South found it neces sary to secede from their Northern breth- eren because of vital differences of opin ion. Certainly the Southera Democrats have to do something. They cannot longer re main in the party now masquerading as the national “Democratic” party. lort* poputotlon* th® Mtm® oi Soath Carolina, Mtotisaippl, Norte Dakota. Tbon tba combined rotea of the Sooth and the Weet misht odntrol the prealdonttol election, and a man like Thurmond would have a real chance Whirtever the outcome, the caatins of anbetantlal number of el^ toral votes for Oovemor Thurmond will bo a lesson la politics that tho master of tho national parties will not soon forget. It wfll serve notice OB the country and on tho world that the sum of mlnoriUea doei not neeeeaarily snrpasa the majority. Boih Democrats and Republicans are making a ptoy for negro votes, the former in thq belief they have the white Sontbemers in tile bag and the latter in the knowledge that they have no chance to carry the South anyway. The Solid South now can demonstrate that it to not in tha has, that it has a mind and a will of its own, and that it offers a temptlnf bloc of electoral votes tor a candidate who will make an hon- eat Mi for them. la the electoral ooltofe lies the only chance to save the Sooth for Thare it this week that It was ‘liot as h— Never having been there we were not in poeltion to affirm or deny his stateutent One advantage of baying a round trip ticket to that yon at least get a return for your money.
