tinguish between size and strength,
between centralized government,
which is one thing, and a strong
government, which is quite 4 different
thing.
The attitude Of government in all
three OF the cases, the Federal Gov
ernment in the interruption OF the
mails in Ohio. the State government
in the automobile strike and the mu-
nicipal government in the case OF
the relief spitters-the attitude Of
government in all the cases is one OF
weakness. And what happens to a
country which, in time Of stress,
has weak government, Is thing

not the mail which 1t considers ab-
normal Apparently, from some news
paper dispatches, the decision between
what is normal mail and abnormal is
made by agents OF the strikers OF the
C. I. o. About the whole strike the
only information available Is that
which comes from newspaper dis
patches necessarily written hurriedly.
But this detail-whether or not the
censorship Of mail is conducted or
assisted by agents OF c. I. O.-is i'm
material.
1t is Just possible the Post once
Department could make out case
to sustain its present attitude. 1t Is
just possible the department Is fol-
lowing some long established rule,
that it has done the same thing on
previous occasions when some kind OF
emergency has given rise to an ab-
normal quantity and kind OF mail
If this Is SO, the department ought to
hurry to make it clear.
The Post Office Department is de-
scribed as giving reason for its re-
fusal to deliver packages to be-
leaguered workers. The reported rea-
son is that the Post Once Depart
ment does not wish to take sides.
Is Using Force.
Take sides! That is exactly what
the Post ONCE is doing II it is de-
parting from it's normal course, its
action has the effect of helping the
c. I. o. to win the strike. The Post
Once Department is taking sides and,
whether the department realizes this
or not, it is using force.
c. I. o. is using force as an army
uses force, to isolate what it calls
the enemy. In this exertion of force,
c. I. o. is assisted by the Post Office,
that is, by the Federal Government.
Much lack of clear thinking, tragic
in its results, arises from failure to
understand what force Is, and to real
ize that there are different kinds OF
force.
In Michigan during the General
Motors strike at Flint, Gov. Murphy
made just this mistake. General Mo-
tors had procured from the courts an
order directing the sheriff to remove
the sit-downers. Since the sheriff
could not alone arrest and remove
several hundred sit -downers, he asked
Gov. Murphy for help. Gov. Murphy
did not give it. Throughout the strike
Mr.. Murphy took the position that
there must be no use Of force and
violence" But there was "force and
violence" While Gov. Murphy was
using this phrase in one sense, General
Motors was using 1t in another. Gen.
eral Motors, in their application to
the court for the removal OF the sit
doWners, said the sit-downers were
occupying General Motors factory by
force and violence"
Static and Active Force.
True, there is distingukhable dif-
ference between the force and vio-
lence used by sit-downers and the
force and violence that would come
into existence In an effort to remove
the sit-downers. The distinction Is
between what may be called static
force and active force. Sit-downers
occupying factory and preventing
the owners and non-striking workers
from entering may be said, by =
stretch OF imagination. to use merely
static force. But once one kind Of
force is used by one side of \ strug-
gle, the only kind open to the other
side is active force.
Evening star., 1937-06-08
Government Neutrality
Administration Is Held Guilty of Using Force and
Taking Sides in Strike Incidents.

If the struggle is to be kept subject
to law, the active force can only come
from the agencies of law, from the
sheriff, the police, the state or the
nation. And when the officials Of
government fail to come forward with
legal force, there is breakdown OF law.
Thereupon the next step Is illegal
force, that IS, force exercised by pri-
vate individuals. This latter course
may come from the party to the con-
troversy that Is deprived OF legal aid
and its legal rights. 1t may come
from the owners Of the property or,
in the case of sit-down strike, from
workers who are not engaged in the
Sit-doWn and wish to 60 back to work.
Or the informal force may come from
the public in the form Of something
like vigilance committee.
This is what happened at Hershey
Pa. Sit-down strikers occupied the
Hershey chocolate factory, denied ac-
cess to the owners, to the non-striking
workers, and to the farmers who sup
piled the factory with milk. The
farmers, seeing what had happened
under Gov Murphy Of Michigan, took
the law into their own hands. Adopt
ing active force, they went into the
Hershey factories and overcame the
static force of the sit-downers
Something of the same kind oc-
CURED in connection with picketing
strike OF workers on = relief project
in New York. A responsible observer
saw the picketers on relief splitting
and calling vile names at policemen;
I saw that happen and an of1icer

Sign Of Weak Government.
Now splitting and calling vile
names" may be looked upon as only
= mild form Of force. A blob Of
sputum does not ordinarily do physi-
cal damage But 1t Is force all the
same. The point is that the agencies
OF law, the police, are apparently
under instructions not to take the
legal action which they would take
as matter OF course against an ordi-
nary violator of law.
What the whole condition means,
the separate incidents emerging
throughout the country, is that illegal
force is now in widespread use. It is
increasing, Of course; any kind OF
violence, when unchecked, always in
creases and leads to new kinds Of
violence. In the transition through
which America is being taken, the
stage Of violence has arrived. What
is to be done about it by the victims
Of the violence, or by the order-loving
portion Of the people, will presently
emerge
The attitude of government every
where is the same Government tries
to say its attitude is non-intervention.
They may honestly but mistakenly
and fatuously think 1t is non-inter-
vention. But failure Of the agencies
OF law to enforce the law is decidedly
something different from non-inter-
vention. 1t is the sign, among other
things, OF weak government. Be-
cause the Federal administration at
Washington reaches out constantly
for more powers some may think Of
1t as An administration acquiring
more strength. But that way Q
