Truman Explains Why He Oppose* Gen. Eisenhower S=t>> lk«* Ha* ( i Every Principle lo Party Strategy Speaking in Colorado a few days-, ago President Truman- ex plained why he is opposing Dwight D. Eisenhower for the Presidency. A partial text of Truman's speech follows: . . What I feel “lias been well expressed by t+ie student news ^ paper at Columbia University, the university of which (General Eisenhower) is president. In a recent article, that news paper said, referring to the great crusade that the Republican can didate proclaimed at the conven SLAB WOOD for SALE HALF PRICE DURING SUMMER MONTHS. Phone 2460 WilliuniMon Supply Co. tion in Chicago. “The great crusade, passing through the stage of great com promise, must now be called the great disenchantment." The newspaper went on to say that the Republican candidate j has compromised every principle to the dictates of party strategy." "Xnl; that hits the nan on the head. It has been a sad experi ence foi me. I have gone through a disenchantment, too, in learn ing that a man I admired can 'change his convictions so quickly and sc easily. He has openly compromised his principles on foreign policy. Before the Chicago convention, everybody thought the general had real convictions on foreign policy. That was the big issue. Or so it appeared, between the peo ple who supported him at Chicago and the eople who supported Sen ator Taft. When he talked the other day in Michigan, the home state of the great Senator Vandenberg— who was a Republican of deep 'and honest convictions—the ,gen-* 'oral sounded almost like Vanden , berg. He spoke glowingly of the ! bipartisan cooperation that had 'produced what he called the "for eign policy achievements” uf the past few years. Among these achievements, he mentioned spe eically the program of aid that saved Greece and Turkey from [communism, and the Marshall Plan of aid to the other free coun tries of western Europe. But the very next dty he went down to Illinois, which is the home territory of the isolationist Chicago Tribune and the isola tionist Senator Dirksen. In Illi 1 nois, he had no trouble at all talk ing like an isolationist. He sneered 1 at the same policies of aid to Greece ail'd Turkey, and of aid. to Western Europe, that he had praised as "achievements" the day ; before. He even attacked the Bor I lin airlift. And this is not the only time he has attacked the policies he work ed so long to build up for our de fense and the defense of the free ! world. The Republicans who broughl j him back from Paris and support ed him at Chicago did so, 1 thought, because they believed in our policies of international co operation among free peoples and mutual aid against communism. But almost immediately after his j nomination, they saw him sur j round Jiin^elf with the men he had attacked as isolationists be ! fore Chicago. They now see him ; condemning our policies of inter national cooperation which they supported. And many of them are not actively working for him any longer. He has betrayed his principles and his followers not only on for NOTICE 1950 Taxes for the Town of Jamesville are Past Due.

He' is saying things now that are quite the posite of what he appeared to stand for in the past He has betrayed his principles and his followers not only on for eign policy but on the defense of *«p United States Ho is saying jthingst now that are quite the opposite of what he appeared to stann for in the past He has charged us with cutting our military budgets too |»>v in the postwar period, and perhaps we did. Yet he himself testified before Congress that my decision, prior to Korea, to hold the 1951 budget down was "a very wise de cision." In Illinois, he talked as if he favored ending the draft. And he opposed universal military training, which he used to sup port. When he commanded the North Atlantic Treaty troops* in Europe, I had every reason to believe he was convinced of the need for a strong national defense and for forbigh aid * Yet, he has talked of fantastic budget cuts of'up to $40. 000,000.000, and he has singled out national defense and foreign aid as the places where he will make the cuts. When 1 branded as preposter ous his statement that faxes could be cut like that, he changed his Position again. Instead of a bud get cut of $40,000,000,000. or $20, 000,000,000 in a couple of years, he now promises a budget cut of $20,000,000,000, four years from nvw. It seems that he will give you any figure that anybody puts into his mouth, just so long as it sounds like it will bring in votes. He has tried to win votes by playing Upon the casualties and sacrifices in Korea. He talks about the blunders that led up to Ko rea. Yet, a,s Army Chief of Staff, he joined in the decision to pull our troops out of Korea in the first place. Hi' lias stated that our decision to help the South Koreans was : inescapable. ^ Bee rarv-v—w-w-u-m Special Insurance For Churchgoers An insurance company in Texas is experimenting with a plan of issuing insurance poHcie*..to practice abstinence from alcohol. The company lias alti acted con siderable attention in recent days because of this novel plan, with 'Viit>ie Viviivr ■ ipiiS'vTi'c, riTO.iivy sold. The Christian and Temperate Insurance Company, which re ceived its charter in June, is the brainchild of two brothers, mem bers of different churches, who say theirspolicy is the result of two years of planning and study ing automobile fatality records. From their study, they arrived at a plan to offer insurance to church members and non-drink ers at reduced rates—since people in these classifications have few er accidents than non-church members and those who do , not practice abstinence. This plan warrants serious thought, since it offers a reward to those groups who are involved in few acci dents. It has often been suggested that insurance be sold on the basis of one's driving record. That is, an applicant who had driven for 20 or 30 years without an accident would receive a low insurance rate, while the habitually careless driver would be required to pay higher insurance rates. This sys tem would reward go id drivers and require inferior .and careless He has said that the best check for sustaining world peace was to take a firm stand in South Ko rea. * ■ ' In June, the Republican candi date has betrayed his principles, by publicly endorsing every Re publican candidate in the coun try, regaidless of whether that man is the blackest of reaction aries, a die-hard isolationist, or even a moral scoundrel. . . . church members FOR TOP MARKET PRICES Srll Your Hogs Now To WILLIAMSTON PACKING CO.
