he held gave him.
Let it he stated here that some
things Mr. Truman did while
President We agreed with him.
One thing we have been crit
ical of Mr. Truinan was, that
he was right, regardless, and as
sumed the attitude that any one
not agreeing with him was all
wet. Apparently, he thought
himself above reproach. ?
There were times when we
believe that the former Presi
dent was ilLadvised, yet, when
he was drown that this was so,
he did not bother to correct that
error, but went ahead with ap
parent full steam, so to speak,

Monday night, November 16,
we heard and saw on television
Mr. Truman make his speech on
the White case. Even while he
was twisting the tacts in the
case to his defense we had be

the committee, (the
Security Subcommittee
Senate Judiciary Committee),
which had brought out some of
the subversive activities of the
higher ups in the Federal Gov
ernment. It was coincidental,
we suppose that it happened that

Would probably alert others un

It seems then, that the facts
have been fitted In, to fit the
case, so far as Mr. Truman fa
concerned. When the Alger Hiss
case came to light, Truman stat
ed it was a red herring,, a witch
hunt, yet, Hiss was Indicted,
tried, found guilty, and sent to
prison, for the very thing that
the ex-President called “red
herring and witch hunt.” It was
another time that he was wet be
hind the ears.
But the true character of the
man came out in his speech the
language. It is some of the same
language he used while serving
a» President. We have just
never been able «o picture a
President stooping to such gut
ter. talk, nor an ex-President
for that matter. The office is
one that should be hdd on the
highest plane. Such language
tends to low-rate the office of
the Presidency.
Mr. Truman refused to testify
before the oommiittee. There
are points that are too numer
ous, on this phase of the ques
tion to discuss here. One thing
we learned long ago is, that a
man that is guilty, of the charges
placed against him, will do all
he can to deny, or if possible to
decline to testify. Those who
