DR.. Lowell Urges
Arms Embargo Repeal
By the Associated Press.


DR.. A. Lawrence Lowell, former
Harvard president, urged repeal of
the arms embargo yesterday, assert
ing it was detrimental and prac-
tically hostile to the belligerents that
control the sea-"
In letter to Representative Gift
ford, Republican, of Massachusetts,,
which was inserted in the Congress
slonal Record, DR.. Lowell outlined
three possible objectives" of the
neutrality bill. They we're:
Il. To keep us out CT war. This
desire is we'll nigh universal among
American citizens.
%. Not to cut off arbitrarily from
the free governments all possibilities
of obtaining such supplies as it has
hitherto been customary for bel
ligerents to obtain from neutrals in
time of war.
"3. To maintain so far as possible
the status of neutrals in war. The
last is, probably, out of the question
at the present time, for there are
now no recognized neutral rights
whatever; and it is notable that
since the close of the World War we
have made no serious attempts by
international negotiation to estab-
lish such rights"
DR.. Lowell observed that no regu-
lations "can absolutely prevent the
possibility of events that might
cause our citizens to regard war as
less evil than the alternative pre-
sented by some belligerent."

US. Wins S11,000,000
Astor Tax Case
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Justice Department announc-
ed yesterday that Judge Samuel
Mandelbaum, sitting in the United
States District Court for Southern
New York, had ordered a judgment
of more than $11,OOOOOO for the
Government in the 20-year-old tax
case against the William Waldorf
Astor estate.
The suit was brought by the
Farmers Loan g. Trust Co. as
trustees for the estate. Mr.. Astor
inherited about $l00000,0O0 in 1890
and later went to England, became
naturalized and was elevated to a
peerage. Before his death, in 1919,
he created two trusts in favor of
his sons, Waldorf Astor and John
Jacob Astor.
The Government levied $l0,82O, ,857
in estate taxes, which the Farmers
Loan paid under protest in 1922.
Since then the case has been in the
courts.
The Justice Department said that
yesterdays action ended the litiga-
ton. The judgment of more than
s11,OOO,OOO represented taxes and in

it would be very strange thing if
Mississippi does not send a Taft

Furthermore, Howard believes that
the Ohio Senator will have a strong
appeal to other Southern State dele
cations as well as in the North and

est type Of delegates, no matter what
their race.
The Republican national organi-
zation Is anxious to bring the Negro
voters-who since 1882 have left
the G. o, P. in large numbers
back into the party fold in 1910. It
believes that good progress has been
made. Emmett Scott, former Sec
retary-treasurer of the Howard Uni
versity and at one time secretary
to the late Booker T. Washington,
is in charge of Negro publicity at
the Republican National Committee
headquarters, as assistant to the
director Of publicity. The G. o. p,
1t Is said, Is getting q much better
break in the Negro press than
year ago.
Resented by Committeeman.
The Landon interview stirred up
Perry w. Howard, Republican ma
tional committeeman from Missis-
sippi. He is the sole colored COM
mitteeman today. Notwithstanding
Mr.. Landon's denial, the Mississippi
committeeman says it looks as
though he were leaning to the Lilly
Whites" and seeking to divide the
Negro vote of the North and South
by intimating that the Southern
Negro delegates are not as high a
type as the Northern Negro. Mr..
Howard seconded the nomination
of Mr.. Landon at the 1896 conven-
ton.
Howard insists that Southern dele
cations are not loaded down with
Negro delegates. indeed, quite the
contrary. In the Republican Ma
tional Convention of l936-the last
only Mississippi, South Carolina.
Louisiana, Georgia and Tennessee
had any Negroes on their delega-
tlons. On the other hand, Texas,
Alabama, Florida, North Carolina,
Virginia, Oklahoma and Kentucky
had all-white delegations. Northern
States, he says, did not send more
than six Negro delegates to the con-
vention. And in the delegations
from Mississippi and the other
Southern States which had Negro
delegates there were also white
delegates
In earlier days the Southern States
sent as many as ITO colored dele
gates to one Republican National
Convention and as recently as the
convention of 1912 there were II.
Therefore, in the opinion of Mr..
Howard, talk now about loading
down delegations of the Southern
States is way wide of the mark.
He contends, too, that the type of
delegates from the South today has
been far higher than either the
white or colored delegates many
years ago.
Delegates Lined Up Easily.
Nevertheless. the Southern States
have been considered fertile fields,
green pastures in fact, for ambitious
Republican candidates for the Presi-
Dental nomination to line up dele
gates to the national convention.
1t is easier, 1t is argued, for a can
didate and his supporters to win
delegates in States where they do
not have to 60 into primary contests
and where they have to deal only
with few leaders, or perhaps only
one.

velop strong Republican organiza-

And What
They Do
Sir Edward Grieg
Is One Of EneIond's
Most Erudite Men
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON,

On September rs there was quite
a dither in the British Parliament
because the ministry of information
wasn't chalking up more column-
inches in the world newspapers.
Lord Macmillan, head of the minis
try, defended its showing, but said
it wasn't doing much in the United
States because it wasn't necessary. I
Sir Edward Grigg, parliamentary
secretary of the ministry, intimated
he was doing the best he could, with
only 40 newspaper men on his staff
Of 800 publicity men. But today he
counters Lord Macmillan's statement
with an admission in the House Of
Commons that the British might do
better IN America and gives assur.
ance that every effort is being made
to give American correspondents
the fullest opportunity of studying
and assessing our war activities"
He said it was not the policy of tho
ministry ito engage in what are
called propaganda activities In the

Sir Edward, former military secre-
tary to the Prince of Wales and
former private secretary to Lloyd
George, has been an able and frank
expounder of British imperialism,
whose scholarly statements of Brit.
aims case have been heavy artillery
on every information front in the
postwar years. In 1923 he spread
abroad a mastery four column

the controversy over whether there

organization and control of the par
ty in the South, or whether the
Negro Republicans in the section,
who have outnumbered the white
Republicans very greatly In many
of the States, shall continue to have
important voice.
It's a ticklish business for the
G. o. p, particularly in view of the
fact that large numbers of Negro
voters are found now in important
States of the North and Middlewest.

numerous that they might easily
hold the balance of power. For ex-
ample, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. New

Landon in Hot Water.
A month ago former Gov. ALI M.
Landon of Kansas. called here by
President Roosevelt as the titular
head of the Republican party to dis
cuss the arms embargo question,
gave an interview to Ralph McGill,
executive editor Of the Atlanta Con-
stitution. in which he spoke of the
advantage to the South Of a two
party system. with strong Repub-
lican party. He also urged that the
delegates sent by the Southern
States to Republican National Con-
ventions be of the highest type.
This interview. published in Atlanta,
was seized upon by the Lilly Whites"
as an Endorsement Of their position.
1t also was taken up by section
of the Negro press as an assault
upon Negro Republicans of the
South and an effort to eliminate
them from State delegations to the
national convention.
In letter addressed to Claude A.
Barnett. director Of the Associated
Negro Press, Mr.. Landon emphati-
cally denied that he had Intended
any slight on the Negro Republicans
of the South. He said: II do not
see how by any stretch of the imagi-
nation it could be construed that I
favor the elimination of Negro dele
gates from the Southern States to

ton He added that what he was
urging was the selection of the high

OF Government employees affiliated
directly or indirectly with Commu-
mist party activities.
Such proposal would be in line
with the restrictions already placed
upon Government employees under
the Hatch law. The latter statute
plainly deprived Government en-
ployes OF privileges enjoyed as to
party politics by private citizens
generally, but the constitutional
authority for such a step is the we'll
established principle that Uncle
Sam, as an employer, may impose
any restrictions or qualifications he
pleases upon those in Government
posts.
Offered a Choice.
Any one who dislikes the restric-
tions is at liberty, of course, to
resign and get another job there
after and keep his membership in
the Communist party or any other
organization of radical type.
The Dies Committee, of course,
has been none too popular from the
outset of its hearings with the So
called liberals in Government, who
have felt that the committee was
using the Communist argument as
a smokescreen against them for their
left-wing beliefs and doctrines. But
the Dies Committee has assailed
Fascist and right-wing organiza-
tlons with vigor, too, so that it has
become matter now of a battle
against ''isms" as SUCH
The committee may or may not
be going too far in its implications
that members of a Communist
influenced organization or those on
a mailing list are to be held up to
criticism, but the committees point
Is that members of the American
League for Peace and Democracy
the organization in question-have
had since last January to detach
themselves from league whose
connection with the Communists
was unanimously held by committee
members to be proved.
Hostile Congress Seen.
Some advocates of freedom of
opinion will insist that individual
liberty is to certain extent circum-
scribed by what the committee has
done, but whether they are right or
wrong as to abstract or concrete ac-
ceptance of communistic philosophy
by individuals outside the Govern
ment, there can be no doubt about
the probable mood of Congress so
far as persons employed by the Gov
ernment itself.
The appointment to Government
position carries with it necessary
separation from private interests
of all kinds and it would seem to be
inevitable that some legislation
barring from the Government any
one connected with Communistic
organizations or their affiliates will
very soon be adopted by Congress.
