ly Altociottd Prm

the Philippines, Indo-China, Indo
nesia, Malaya, Australia and New
Zealand.
"I am going to the Pacific area,”
he said, “because of the tremen
dous importance it will have over
the next few years on the se

are new nations in the Pacific—
Borne oi tnem or enormous size—
and their future course may have
immense influence on our own

%-?r would continue “for the rest
of our lives or as long as com

our defenses and alliances.” he
said.
He sidestepped political ques
tions. including one concerning a
reported agreement between him
and Senator Duff of Pennsylvania
to back Gen. Eisenhower for the
Republican presidential nomina
tion next year. "No comment,”
he said.

Socialist Parley Due
To Cast Votes Today
On World Program
By th« Associated Prm
FRANKFURT, Germany, July
2.—Socialist leaders from 20 coun
tries on four continents are ex
pected to adopt an international
program condemning both cap
italism and communism today.
A bitter dispute over wording of
the document prevented a vote
yesterday by delegates represent
ing 10 million Socialists. The dele
gates voted Saturday to re-estab
lish the Socialist International,
which broke up during Word War
; II. Countries whose Socialist
parties have delegates present in
j elude the United States, India,
Japan, Canada, Uruguay. Israel
and every state in Western Eu
rope.
The program calls for “a new
world society based on voluntary
co-operation between nations.” It
supports the United Nations as
“an important step towards this
i international community.”
Dictatorships Condemned.
It bitterly condemns dictator
ships of all kinds, opposes imper
ialism, demands help for under
developed countries and maintain*
that economic power must be
taken away from "a minority
which owns or controls the means
of production and placed in the
hands of the people as a whole.”
The platform emphasizes that
"Socialist planning does not pre
suppose public ownership of all
the means of production.” Instead
it claims. "Socialist planning is
compatible with existence of
private ownership in Important
fields, for instance in agriculture,
handicraft, retail trade and small
and middle-sized, industries.’'
It condemns communism for
sharpening "cls$sr distinctions In
the exclusive Interest of the dic
tatorship for a single party.”
Blast at Capitalism.
It denounces capitalism for fail
ing to solve the world’s economic
and social Ills and promoting "im
perialist expansion and colonial
exploitation, thus making conflicts
between nations and races more
bitter.”
Yesterday’s debate produced
much objection to calling the
document a “declaration of the
principles of democratic social
ism.” Opponents claimed this
