They are marc potent than atomic bombs. No one ran forever escape
the force of the truth.—Jb. 6:25: How forcible are right words.
More Serious Than Eggs
J.JENRY
WALLACE has had a lot of eggs thrown at him
m the last two weeks. Rut it’s no egg that Louis
Budenz has thrown in an article called, “How the Reds
Snatched Henry Wallace.” in the current Collier’s magazine.
What Mr. Budenz has 'thrown looks more like a political
haymaker. . ... . „
The author is the former managing editor ol the t om-
munist Daily Worker. He tells his story from his experi-
ence as one of the Reds who, he says, hatched the Wallace
boom on orders from Moscow.
Something happened during Mr. Wallaces wartime visit
to Siberia, he writes, that caused the Kremlin to send urgent
directives to its American agents to support the then vice
president’s political ambitions. The orders were issued at
a meeting in June 1944, which Mr. Budenz says he attended.
The article goes on to say that Communists all over the
country—not identified as such, of course—flooded Demo-
cratic politicians with demands that Mr. Wallace he re-
nominated for vice president in 1944. They conducted a
similar campaign when his appointment as secretary ot
commerce was up for Senate confirmation.

Mr. Wallace and his board of strategy may denounce the
article as an election-year smear. But we don’t think it can
be ducked or brushed off that easily. It is, we repeat, no egg.
Any detailed answer that Mr. Wallace may make will be
largely a matter of his words against his accuser’s. But
there are external factors that wilt handicap the third-party
candidate in any attempt to explain away the charges.
\[0 one, not even Henry Wallace, denies that he has the
^ active and unanimous support of the American Com-
munist party. His campaign is being managed for the most
part by persons with records of Communist sympathy and
left-wing activity. He has never renounced the support ot
Communists as such, nor has he strayed from the general
line of Soviet-Communist international policy.
Against such a background it will scarcely be enough
for him to denv that he is playing the Communist game. It
will not be enough to say that the striking similarity be-
tween his foreign policy and the Communists is purely
coincidental. He must somehow offer positive proof that he
has not been “taken into custody” by the Soviet agents

his mother was coming along the
passage hurriedly, a crumpled paper
in her hand.
“George!” Mrs. Shenstone called
sharply as she came. “Alice—
George—where arc you—” She stood
in the doorway, her eyes blind with
tears, her lips atremble.
“What is it. mater?” George went
to her quickly.
“It’s Hilary—I’ve had a tele-

ber of the military manpower
commission in this county and
Friday night attended the first
meeting of that group.
I’m pleased to be on this com-
mittee because I’m sort of weary
with people, whose only experi-
ence has been in time of war,
popping off about the military
establishments of our country.
Makes me think of a new ac-
quaintance who comes to call
for the first time and finds me
in the middle of housecleaning,
then goes away and tells what a
foul home I make and advises
others to avoid the place.
The peace-time army (God
grant it stay such) offers op-
portunities which shouldn’t be
overlooked. And highschool
graduates who wonder where
the cash is to come from for
a college education would do
well to investigate the army
setup with an eye to free
groundwork for later special-
izing.
I’d like parents, too. to in-
quire carefully into this volun-
tary enlistment business for
their sons. Some people have
the remarkable opinion that the
peacetime army consists of a
bunch of drunken bums as offi-
cers kicking around troops of
immoral, sub-standard morons,
which is probably the most idi-
otic opinion on record and pred-
icated solely on ignorance and
misinformation.
It would take too much time
and space for me to go into
the changes in the methods of
promotion, schooling benefits,
increases in pay, dependents’
benefits, get-for-free stuff and
things.
Suffice it to say that the army
in itself is a great career, and
a voluntary tour of duty therein
a foundation stone for futures
not to be sneezed at by us ordi-
nary mortals.

"No—oh. no—!” cried Alice, look-
ing frightened.
“He’s dead.” She collapsed into
sobbing, and they led her to a
chair near the table. George poured
out a cocktail and held the glass
firmly while she sipped at it and
was calmer. Alice slid to her knees
beside Mrs. Shenstone’s chair and
tayed there, staring straight ahead
of her with wide, dry eyes.
