Mr. Truman stuck his foot out at last Thursday's news conference confer-ence when he expressed confidence confi-dence that Wallace would campaign cam-paign for the 1948 Democratic ticket. Coming from Mr. Truman, that was an official invitation. Wallace put the match to Mr. Truman's shoe at once thereafter in a series of speeches and press conferences in Great Britain describing de-scribing administration foreign l' policy as a one-way road to war. ji Wallace said he would be cam- IMaigiuiig in j.crio, an rigm, uui he couldn't guarantee that it would be for the Democrats. Specifically, Wallace is opposing op-posing Mr. Truman's plan to -finance " (fnwrantt - communist effort In Greece and Turkey. One result of Wallace's British Brit-ish crusade has been to jell support for the $400,000,000 anti - communist expenditure and to assure its early approval ap-proval by congress. Congressional Republicans are demanding that Mr. Truman re T" ... . pudiate Wallace and renounce his ! support in 1948.

Mr. Truman's confidence that Wallace would campaign for the Democrats next year was a horseback response to a newsman's news-man's question. The president got caught that way last September. Then he told a news conference questioner that a speech Wallace was about to deliver would be a statement of administration policy. pol-icy. The speech proved to be a bare-knuckled attack on Secretary Secre-tary of State James F. Byrnes. The president tried to smooth it over but finally had to concede he hadn't known what was in Wallace's speech. He fired Wallace Wal-lace from the commerce department depart-ment to keep' Byrnes from resigning. Stalin Tells Stassen Russia Can't Eliminate Censorship MOSCOW.
