to the President's benefit
The fact that virtually no one real
^ed-with tha possible exception of
Mr. Truman and a few of his leys!
subordinates? was that the tide of
the campaign had turned In the last
two weeks before the election.
Last Lap Drive
Mr. Truman's slugging, earth*
drive during the last three week's
before November 2. and convene
ly. Dewey's Insistence upon main
taining the blsnd, high-level tone to
, campaign brought the President
? lot of votes. i

What can the naUon expect from '

Foreign Policy .Stays.

basically unchanged, keeping as its
mainspring the European Recovery
Program. As a matter of fact, it ,
""Old have retained it* status quo '
under a Republican administration. '
too. But in any event it is reason- !
?We to assume that most American I
voters cast their ballots not so much I
<*the basis of foreign policy as on
domestic issues.
Whether or not much. If anything
win be done about tha Taft-Hartley
att is more of a question than it
bt the first place, although tha
Democrats have a nominal ma]or

Neither Henry Wallace's Pro

One of the first demands i. .-it
President Truman and the Demo
cratic list congress will get from
the people Ml] be to do something
?bout high prices and Inflation.
Action along this line probably will
take the form of price controls?
perhaps wage controls as well. Mr.
Truman Is likely to try again to get
congress to paaa the 10- point anti
inflation legislation be first eluci
dated a year ago.
