years had never known foreign
war. He was citizen OF the
worlds oldest and most stable
democracy. This democracy was
founded upon humanistic and
religious principles. and on these
principles had achieved that
which has perennially been con-
sidered impossible in Europe: A
federation Of peoples of three
separate races and nations, with
out dynasty or monarchial prin-
ciple to hold them together;
republic founded upon an oath of
fellowship: a state and a commu-
nifty based upon the twin prin-
ciples OF liberty and duty.
Jean Henri Dunant was true
citizen of this state. He be-
lieved In international peace and
in the possibility of achieving it.
He was also what would be called
today an "emotionalist.'
Laws Above War.
War Mortified him. And he
saw. even at that time, that war
was becoming more terrible from
year to year. He was not a
powerful statesman who, from a
position of mastery, could create
new world order. He concerned
himself with a small question: he
limited his field Of operation to
one in which he had had a tre-
mendous emotional experience:
A battlefield. In the Franco
Austrian War he had seen, at the
battle of Solferino, wounded men
left to perish. heard cries, means
and pleas for help that met no
response.
He raised the question in
his mind whether even in war
there were not some laws of
humanity above war. And out of
his troubled heart and excited
conscience he wrote a pamphlet,
a book, describing that battle
field and saying: Il hope I may
live to see the leaders of the
military art of different nation
alit;es agree upon some sacred
international principle, sane
toned by convention, which, once
signed and ratified, would serve
as a basis for the creation OF
societies for the aid of the
wounded in the different Euro
pean countries"
Now this one man alone, ap-
pealing to the noblest instincts in
all men, had an immediate re-
sponse. But he did not exploit it
for his personal ambition. He had
felt himself the pressure OF an

effects OF that mandate by cry of
lack OF patriotism. Congress has
before 1t several proposals which
should not be passed, as, for in
stance, any reduction in the figures
on manpower set by the joint chiefs
of stats as necessary. But the de-
bate on that particular item will do
more to clarity the need and get
public support for big Army than
an executive order which has been
developed in secret.
Congress is cumbersome at times
and even unwieldy, but 1t Is the
peoples own body and with all its
defects it is still the custodian of
legislative power in our democracy.
And democracy is always distaste-
full process to arrogant bureaucrats.

Evening star., 1943-03-03

During more than two years our
war effort has been marked by a
steady procession OF demands on
the part OF labor unions for more
money and more power, by strikes
authorized and unauthorized by la
Dor leaders and by concessions and
compromises upon the part Of the
Government. which naturally are
| followed by more demands and more
strikes
1t is dreadful and tragic story,
! to which there seems no ending
That we should tolerate 1t is more
than stupid-it is wicked. For. the
clear effects are. f1rst, to prolone
the war at terrible cost in Ameri-
can lives abroad and, second, to
increase the prospect OF economic
collapse at home.
Not many outside OF the profess
sional labor lobbyists and their
spokesmen will dispute these state
ments. The President himself has
admitted their truth. Many months
ago he asserted that further in
creases in wages would make it i'm
possible to control imitation, and
that strikes In war plants and es-
sential industries were against the
national interests.
Wages Increased.
Yet, since that time presidential
boards have granted many wage in
creases and strikes have not ceased.
The reason is that the President
not only has failed to support his
own declaration with flrmness, but
he has stood squarely in the way
of corrective action by Congress.
Has not the time arrived when
this sort of thing can no longer be
permitted? Is not resentment justi-
fed not only against the labor pro-
fessionals who have used the war
to gain ground at the national ex-
pense but against the administra-
ton, whose inaction has encouraged
them? AS Senator Byrd, whose bill
introduced yesterday realistically
meets the situation. pointed out,
! under existing Government regula-
| tions, no employer can increase
wages without approval OF the Pres
ident's War Labor Board. Therefore,
a strike today Is not strike against
the employer but against the Gov
ernment itself
The employer has lost whatever
little influence he had to prevent
strikes-first, because he no longer
has the right to discharge striking
employees; second, because he is no
longer able to adjust the wages Of
his own employees.
Strikes Continue.
The only power to prohibit strikes
lies In Congress, just As Congress
was the only agency which could

and his chief aide, James F. Byrnes.
have said may mean uncontrolled
imitation which would be close to
complete calamity To refuse the
wage increases may mean strikes
which will prolong the war by de-
laying production OF the needed
weapons.
While the effort to minimize
strikes continues. the facts are that
strikes constantly occur. In the
four weeks ended January 70, Sena-
tor Byrd asserts that in war indus
tries alone 58,4e8 man days were
lost through strikes.
If this ratio continues more man
days will be lost in l943 than In
1912. And while it is true this is not
comparable to the tremendous losses
before Pearl Harbor the losses are
still great enough to cost heavily In
lives as we'll as material. They sre
still great enough to constitute a
real national peril
Up to now the administration
has opposed anti-strike legisla ton
and Congress has not had the cour-
age to override this opposition,
Neither can longer afford to tenn
porize with so deadly a situation
Seizure OF striking plants clearly
is not the solution. The President
has done that several times, but
strikes continue.
Machinery at Hand.
I'VE must" said Senator Byrd
hit at the heart OF the matter. and
Congress must declare that there
shall be no strike in any defense
industry"
There is ample governmental
machinery existing to insure justice
by arbitra ton between employer and
employe, but to permit labor agita-
tors to continue using the strike
as a weapon to force concessions
that endanger the safety OF the
Nation is utterly indefensible. There
are indications today that Congress
at last Is about to act In this vital
business, despite executive inertia.
When the history OF our part in
this war is finally written the ex-
tent to which rapacious labor lead
ers were allowed to slow down war
production and intrench themselves
in power will be one of It's most
discreditable chapters. No man to-
day can compute the cost of ad-
ministration feebleness in this re-
spect.
And not the least shameful thing
about 1t are the greasy love letters
which some of our highly placed
officials have thought It necessary
to write, praising "labors part" and
ignoring the fact that there has
been such a thing as a strike any
where or at any time.

ment Of 1899. Constantine Brown.
Logically they take the position
that We are in the midst OF a war
against 4 strong and determined
group OF enemies. The Russian
armies are lighting valiantly and
are chasing the Nazis from the
Soviet territories. inflicting many
casualties and heavy war mate
rial losses.
For the time being. the official
point Of view Is that under the
circumstances it would be playing
into Hitler's hands If we were
to discuss openly the Russian
claims.
The inspired articles which
have been published in the on
cial Soviet press are regarded
here as an endeavor of Russia to
beat the iron while 1t Is hot and
peg its claims on what it consid-
ers as Russian territories.
From strictly 1egalistic point
of view, which does not take into
consideration the rewards of a
victorious nation may claim for
itself, the Soviet government has
no rights on the Baltic States or
Eastern Poland which Moscow
now claims as Russian lands to
be retrieved from the enemy.
Part Of Czarist Russia.
The Soviet government had
formally renounced all claims on
these territories which were a
part Of Czarist Russia and has
of11cially recognized their exist
ence as sovereign republics.
When the pact to outlaw war
was signed in 1928 in Paris. the
Soviet government adhered to 1t.
To make it ever stronger in
regard to her immediate neigh
bors, Moscow made a special
agreement with the Baltic States,
known as the Litvinon Pact,
which further implemented the
Treaty OF Paris.
1t Is true, moreover, that in the
subsequent Is years the agree
ment gradually has been torn
into shreds by the powers which
are responsible for the present
war-the Axis.

scite was held In Latvia. Es-

obsession with the New Dealers,
namely, that the legislative branch
Of the Government need not func-
ton, especially in wartime.
For nearly 10 years now the Con-
eress has been an obedient rubber
stamp for the executive agencies
and now when the people in the
l942 elections expressed their pro-
test and sent independent minded
representatives to Congress hue
and cry is raised about it by the
sdministra tons spokesmen.
1t is true the Congress could
theoretically by obstructive meas
ures interfere with the war effort
but as long as the President pos
sesses the veto power 1t Is unlikely
that any proposal Of that nature
could become law. Many observers
forget that the Chief Executive
under the Constitution, is not only
more powerful than two-thirds of
pne house of Congress. but more
powerful also than roll call in the
other house if it happens to record
one less vote than a two-thirds
majority.
Smoke Screen on Issue.
Any bill which can command the
kyfyN hfvIe ~
essary to override veto is likely to
be a popular measure wanted by
The people. Such a bill would in
evitably require the support of a
substantial number of members Of
both political parties. and it is not
probable that any obstructive meas
ure damaging to the war effort
could command such a big bipar-
tisan vote.
So the administration supporters
are really drawing a smoke screen
across the Congress issue and are
trying to prevent that body from
asserting its prerogatives and ex-
pressing its judgment on matters
vital to the people. The best thing
that can happen to constitutional
democracy, particularly in wartime.
is to let the legislative body debate
and discuss proposals for the gov
ernment of the whole people. II
the Congress doesn't participate in
the lawmaking process and at
tempts are made-as has happened
too often recently-to write laws by
means of Government regulations
with the excuse that broad powers
are contained in the original statute,
the confidence Of the people in gov
eminent is weakened.
1t is important that democratic in
institutions are not impaired The
effort to smear Congress and charge
1t with desiring to interfere with the
war program is so palpably ruse
to divert public support from the
national legislature that it ought to
be labeled what it is and exposed
to view.
1t is significant that the cry of
h-interference-by Congress
Is coming almost entirely from New
Deal quarters. But it will neither

month before the plebiscite was
held IS considered by those op-
posing the Soviet claims as clear
proof that the plebiscite was
held under duress.
The Russians say that these
troops had been sent at the
special invitation Of the respec-
tive governments and we're
there to preserve law and order.
This Is probably true. although
on previous occasions when such
plebiscites were considered neces-
sary soldiers OF neutral countries
which had no interest In the
voting-troops from Sweden,
Norway or other recognized"
neutrals-were supposed to police
the voting areas.
Hence, the conflict between the
position taken by Moscow that
the Baltic states are as much a
portion of the U. S. S. r. as Alas
ka is American and those who say
these republics must be given
another chance to decide their
own future.
Poland Situation Worse.
In regard to Eastern Poland,
the situation is even more compn-
Gated.
At the end OF the last war
when the Russians were weak
and the boundaries Of the EN-
pire had shrunk, the American
Government took some time be-
fore it recognized the frontiers
OF the new Polish republics.
Many competent official observ-
ers in Washington thought Po-
land was stretching much farth-
er into Russia than it had right.
Washington hesitated to recog-
nize the new republic because
it believed some parts Of Poland
had been unjustly taken from
Russia. But when the Soviet
government on It's own volitton
recognized the new line of de-
marcation between the Soviet
Republic and Poland, the Amer
ican Government could see no
further reason to object.
1t Is unfortunate these matters
have been brought to the fore at
this time. But there Is no oues-
tion that there must have been
a serious reason for Moscow's
bringing them up.
A frank discussion Of the en-
tire situation in relation to the
Atlantic Charter Is now con-
sidered inevitable not for the
sake OF finding fault with our
victorious associates, but to keep
Herr Joseph Goebbers propa-
ganda from making deep in
