China Does Us a Service,

Coincident with suggestions Of
courting Japan, pertinent COM
ment is forthcoming from Rear Ad-
miral Joseph K. Taussig, comman-
dant Of the Norfolk Operating Base.
Speaking purely "as an individual"
at Charlottesville on June IA, the
distinguished former assistant chief
of naval operations declared that
Evening star., 1940-06-17

"the longer we can keep the Chinese
Army intact and fighting the jap
anese, the more secure our own poh-
ton is" Admiral Taussig is further
quoted as charging that "the Jap
anese philosophy is to conquer the
whole Western Pacific, step by step,
and then 60 on from there" Mean
time, there continues to be vigorous
support in this country for aiding
China to maintain her now three
year-old resistance by imposing an
embargo on export of war materials
to Japan. It's proponents insist
nothing would Sc speedily cripple her
operations in China AS the recent
air raid on Chungking, Chang Kali
sheks capital, indicated, the in
vaders are desperately bent on
breaking him. The Toxic official
spokesman recently explained that
the two wheels on which Japans
foreign policy now moves are dis
posal of the China affair" and nom
involvement in the European war.
"RecOllections."
That brings up recollections, Mr..
Roosevelt remarked, when reporters
sought his reaction to an interview
assertion by Hitler that the Nazis
have no designs on this hemisphere.
What the President meant is that in
light of Hitlers broken promises to
other countries, the United States
could hardly be expected to trust his
alleged good intentions in our direc-
ton. During our voluminous diplo-
matte correspondence with Toxic
during the last 10 years, we have
repeatedly had to remind Japan of
her treaty violations in general and
her unkept pledges regarding our
rights, in particular. Thus, oppo-
nents of "appeasement," should such
a proposal ever take form, would
doubtless argue there is little in the
record to justify hope that new
japanese pledges would be respected
any more Loyalty than past promises.

Bridges Already Cleared.

oiiuseS ALREADY cleared.
Congress may OF may not have the
technical constitutional right to or
der the deportation of Bridges. The
point is debatable 1t was contended
IN the House that the Bridges res.
olutlon is bill of attainder. which
the Constitution specifically forbids.
A Dill OF attainder is a legislative
act which provides punishment
without a judicial trial. BY those
supporting expulsion. it was argued
that deportation is not punish
ment"; that Congress, moreover has
absolute control over the exclusion
and election of aliens.
But whatever the technical power
OF Congress, the expulsion bill, as
was eloquently pointed out in the
House by Representative Miller and
otners, violates roth the spirit of
the Bill of Rights and the national
policy which accords the equal pro.
lection of the laws to aliens. Pas.
sage of the bill would be far more
suoverslve of the Constitution than
anything that Bridges has ever done
or COulQ concelVably do
Bridges has been put through the
whole prescribed process for the ex-
pulslon of undesirable aliens He
was arrested last year on a Depart
ment OF Labor warrant charging
that he was subject to deportation
because of membership in an Or
ganlzatlon preaching the overthrow
OF the Government by force and yio-
ience-the Communist party. Hear
lngs were held for IL weeks by
trial examiner, Dean James M.
Lands of the Harvard Law School.
and on December % he reported his
conclusions that "the evidence does
not permit the finding that Harry
R. Bridges is either member of the
Communist party or affiliated with
that party"
Bridges Denied Hearing.
Determined to get Bridges out Of
the country despite this clear ruling
| that he was not deportable under
| the laws, the House Committee on
immigration and Naturalization
brought in an arbitrary act author
izing" the deportation of Bridges.
and this was amended on the floor
to direct" the deportation. Bridges
was denied hearing before the
committee. He is now denied the
right to be heard on a writ of habeas
corpus, or to be heard in any other
way, but, If the House bill goes
through, he must be taken forth
with" by the Attorney General and
forthwith" deported to Australia.
Not only does the Bridges bill
strike at the Bill of Rights; it is
also a shocking confession of legis-
lative inadequacy. If the House
thinks that Bridges ought to be de-
ported, the way to get at him Is to
pass a general law covering his case;
then Bridges would have his day in
court and the issues raised by the
expulsion law would be fought out
in court.
The short cut chosen by the
House, if not a bill of attainder,
is at least fagrant perversion of
the legislative process.
It is earnestly to be hoped that
good sense and regard for the Con-
stitution will cause the Senate to
block the writing of a vicious and
dangerous precedent.

War Has Right of Way.

Although a bare week now sepa-
rates us from big-time politics. with
opening of the Republican National
Convention at Philadelphia. every
indication is that the war will con-
tinue to have the right of way in
American thought. both at Wash
lngton and throughout the country.
This week is certain to witness in
tensiflcation of the demand for the
continued sitting of Congress. The
Democratic leadership may have the
votes to force adjournment, but
there's unquestionably rising senti-
ment that House and Senate should
remain on the job, recessing only
for the national conventions. Citi-
zens everywhere now recognize that
the war crisis is so grave that do
mestic politics even this summer is
small potatoes. If the Democrats
should send Congress home while
Europe is collapsing and prepared
ness is taxing our energies, they may
hand the Republicans deadly cam
paign issues.

vidious, list here, to show the quail
ity Of the opposition, the four Re-
publicans, out of those voting who
refused to be swept off their feet:
Bruce Barton of New York.
Robert Luce of Massachusetts.
William j. Miller of Connecticut,
who lost both his legs as an aviator
in the World War.
James w. Wadsworth of New
York.
1t may be that Bridges, the West
Coast labor leader, ought to be sent
back to his native Australia. 1t
may be that his presence in the
United States, as stated in the five
line resolution of the House. is
"hurtful." That isn't the point.
The point is that the House has
engaged in what one of its mem
bers called a Legislative lynching."
And 1t has done this at a time when
there is special need for safeguard
ing our democratic processes.
The action of the House-this
singing out of one individual, bv
name, to be kicked out of the coun-
try and, incidentally. to be MARTYR
ized-would be sheerly absurd if it
were not for its dangerous implica-
tons. If Bridges is deported under
the procedure laid down by the
House, precedent will have been
set up for the expulsion of any alien
whom temporary majority in Con.
gress, for whatever reason, may not
like. For Bridges has not been con-
Victed of violating any law, nor is it
charged in the resolution that he
has violated any. 1t is merely stated
that Bridges is a man whose pres
ence in this country the Congress
deems hurtful.' UndeI that doctrine
Congress can expel an alien because
1t objects to his race. his religion
or the color of his hair. It is not
hard to imagine a state of hysteria
that would bring a food of bills for
the deportation of particular in.
