IF THIS is DISUNITY,

If it is disunity to know the mistakes

are in favor of disunity But We do not

sistance upon efficient operation Of that
governments the strongest evidence of
a national unity beyond the comprehen
sion of lot of politicians.
Only one way can efficiency be forced
upon a certain type Of politician. That
way is by the pressure of public condem-
nation of inefficiency. The people of the
United States today are united as never
before in their effort to win the war in
which they ala engaged, and one demon
stration Of that unity is the demand for
a clean government devoted wholly to
winning the war.
The people know that we cannot have
an efficient government when the gov
ernment framework itself harbors enc
mics of our own way of life. The people
want these enemies weeded out

HUSH! HUSH! FOR
DIES COMMITTEE

representative jerry NOorhiS, minori-,
member of the Dies committee. who has
been more than willing all along to abol-
lsh the committee to whose findings he
has always objected has another pro-
posal now
He wants to make ii illegal for the
committee or for Martin Dies, its chair
man, to make public any findings until
every affected branch of the government
mas had chance to nullifY them. OF
course, that is not the way Voorhis put it.
According to him, he wants to prevent
"discord' and "disunity" in national life
by giving government agencies a chance
to correct their mistakes before news of
the mistakes is made public His pro-
posal would, incidentally, prevent any
such news being made public at all. if
the mistakes were corrected.
Specifically, Voorhis wants to:
Require the committee as a whole to
issue a report, with minority opinions
expressed at the same time as others.
(We see no objection whatever to this
proposal-in fact, we favor it,
Make the committee submit its findings
to whatever government agency is effect
ed, in whatever investigation is under
taken, before a public report is made.
Require the committee to notify the
government agency in question when en-
ployees of that agency are found to be
communist or fascist sympathiZers, and
to refrain from making the charges pub
lie at all if the department head fires
the employees after investigation proves
the business of the committees charges.
That last provision is the vicious one.
1t can be termed nothing in the world eX-
cept an effort to hide from the public
the stockholders of the American govern
ment-any rottennesS which may exist
within the branches Of their government.
How arc we TO know which public ser
want are efficient and which are not,
how are VIC to judge their ability and
their hOr esty, how are we to evaluate
their motives, if they are allowed to hide
every undesirable appointment they may
have made under a cloak of secrecy after
it has been discovered?
We know men largely by the company
they keep. We know our governmental
executives largely by the appointments
they make, and the results of these ap
pointments.
Mr.. Voorhis evidently, does not want
20 allow us any more knowledge than he
can help.

Negotiations for the 50 rate, which
