Wallace's Surprising Victory Raises Political Storm Warning The surprising victory of Henry A. Wallace's candidate in a New York Congressional District election has given the politicians something to talk about. The American Labor Party nominee polled more, than fifty per cent of the votes cast in the district, although the candidate of the same party, in 1946,1 received only 27 per cent of the ballots cast. The outcome of the election does not mean much nationally, although it indicates that Mr. Wallace has con siderable strength in the metropolitan area of New York. This has been the Democratic stronghold in that state and the loss of votes in the metropoli tan area Will hurt the Democrats in any state-wide contest The election has raised the suspi cion that Mr. Wallace may attract greater strength throughout the country than the experts have con sidered likely. It is not yet entirely certain' that the following of Mr. Wallace will be composed entirely of dissident Democrats. He will prob ably attract a considerable number of pacifists, regardless ,of their party affiliation. t There have been a few signs to in dicate that the Democratic national leaders are beginning to take seri ously the prospect of political trouble in the South. The Wallace vote will emphasize the importance of South eon support for the Democratic ticket next November, but President Tru- j man has, gone so far out of his way to 'placate the radicals and minority elements that it is difficult to' see how jhe can readjust his position to win the approval of the Southern States. months.''": : y'r ' - - 'i The fiscal year yf or , the Federal government ends June 80 and it was assumed that the Federal , debt would be reduced by the amount of funds ten alter expenditures for the year had been made. This belief seems to have : leen premature because the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has recommended that $3,000,000,000 of the surplus be used to finance the Marshall Plan 1 during . the 'twelve months beginning April 1. This, of course, will prevent the use of the $3,000,000,000 for debt re tirement. More important, it will re lieve the fiscal year 1949 of the $3, 000.000.000 charire which, beinir in. terpreted, means that the fiscal year will probably develop a surplus of such size as to encourage those who would cut taxes. After all. this seeVns to be the idea of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Mav Extend Statehood 1 To Hawaii And Alaska There are some prospects that the present Congress will grant state hood to Hawaii and a probability ex ists that the same status may be giv en to Alaska.,- -.';:?';.. Alaska is twice the size of Texas with a population of about 90,000 people, one-third Eskimos. much smaller in size, people. . ' The extension of statehood to these areas will create some problems for Congress. It will hardly be possible to apply all the legislation adopted for the Continental area to the out lyingMtates. Obviously',' there must , Hawaii, has 600,000 ke recognition of the need for greater appreciation of the . rights of the people of the various states to govern themselves.
