William Henry Chamberlin is a scholarly author whose twelve years (1922-34) as the Christian Science Monitor's Moscow correspondent changed him from an ardent admirer of Communism into a disillusioned critic (Collectivism--A False Utopia). This week, writing in Scripps-Howard's New York World-Telegram, he gave his verdict on the significance of the Browder-Hillman campaign for Term IV, Said he:

"Communists have been trying to exploit our wartime association with Russia in order to suppress in this country any objective discussion of Soviet foreign policies and internal conditions. They act on the assumption that America is already one of the Soviet republics, where there can be no discussion of Stalin and his regime except in terms of worshipful praise.

"Nov. 7, the date of the election, is also the 27th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. One of the leading candidates in this election has attracted the cheers, the other the jeers of the Communists. It is for the voters to decide which is better qualified to carry out foreign and domestic policies inspired by purely American considerations, without benefit of foreign political influences and ideologies."

The Pot Boils

The isolationist Chicago Tribune, which loves Tom Dewey so much because it hates Franklin Roosevelt more, last week chided its Chosen Instrument. "We think Governor Dewey made a mistake when he accepted so large a part of the Roosevelt program.... He will regret these commitments; they will not win him any votes."
