HAPPY ENDING. MOMENTOUS BEGINNING
Governor Dewey wia undoubtedly sincere when he ex-
pressed fear that the sfftalT nations "might be sold down the
nver in & peace organization 4x11ft mround the great powers.
However, tnere \vas little gaua* ibr anxiety about tins coun-
try’s intentions. Secretary of State Hull has demonstrated
his desire for international equity and justice too often to
cause any doubt of his*integrity or intentions.
Yet the governor’s Iffat. which for a moment threatened to
make foreign policy a‘decisive campaign'issue, resolved into
a happy ending. For it led to the conversations betw een Mr.
Hull and John Foster Dulles, Governor Dewey’s international
relations adviser, conversations which..sheuld do much to-
ward counterbalancing the regrettable‘decision to make the
Dumbarton Oaks conference-secret.
If anything under thTstfrr itAHe business of the world's
peoples, it is the subject now under discussion at Dumbar-j
ton Oaks. And in this country it is to the government’s ad-J
vantage to make it so.»** •
It isn’t enough to saf;'tf&l. the present conference is only]
preliminary, that implementation of its decision is a long
way off, or that the S^pateiwill have to ratify final agree-
ments anyway. The people have a right to step-by-step
lormation. — **
When, after the last vyai President Wilson set out to sell
the country an accomplished" fact. Tt was too late. The whole
story of America's rejection of the League of Nations can t
be told-by saying that Henry Cabot Lodge was stubborn, ot
worse. There was bad judgment all around which more light]
certainly would have improved.
World peace became a domestic political issue, which iU
shouldn’t have been. The breach widened until there was no
hope of compromise, no choice between isolation and the |
League as it already existed.
This breach has shown signs of reappearing in the present|
campaign, with the ghosts .of 1D24I being dragged forth dress-
ed and made up-to look aim aijti pertinent today. Such a
course could lead to a fatal error which the Hull-Dullestalks
may avert.
The presence of the Republican candidate’s representative
can lend the conference v t±ie^on-partisan atmosphere il
should have. It should give thokoublic a double source of in-
formation on the most important decisions, and remove any
suspicion that America's part in the conference is a one-party
affair. It offers a chance for public discussion of any points
of difference, and an opportunity to conform our actions to
responsible majority vyishus-.beiiore the mold is set.
That is the ideal but not impossible outcome of the Hull-
Dulles consultation on the momentous, history-shaping ev-
ents at Dumbarton Oaks.

IN NEW YORK
A recent act by Mississippi’s state legislators has us in a
state of mingled confusion and 'admiration. The act imposes
a 10 cent sales tax on any commodity ‘the sale of which in
