WASHINGTON, March 21--
W Republicans in Congress
are counting a good many un-
Matched chickens these days.
They are so confident Of
carrying both House and Senate
in the November elections that
already they are talking OF the
reforms in congressional govern
ment they contemplate when
they take over.
Chief among these reforms
now being discussed is the aboli-
ton of the seniority system in
The selection of committee
chsirmanships.
That one has long white
whiskers. IL has been chewed
over for many years, but moth
ing has ever come OF the
wrangles over this problem.
Generally speaking, the SEN
iority rule has not worked
badly. Long service in the House
eventually brings a congressman
to the top of his committee.
IT is difficult TO see how
change in the system would i'm
prove the working ability OF the
House.

4 QUESTION OF PRINCIPLE

THE Irish reply to the communica-
l. ton from Washington states reas-
onably and dispassionately the atti-
tude we adopted with unanimous
approval of all our people in 1889,
an attitude maintained with scrup-
ulous fairness ever since.

IF CHAIRMEN of House com

If CHAIRMEN OF House com
mittees were 10 be elected,
regardless OF seniority, there
would be bui two methods TO
pursue. -
One/would be 10 restore 10
the speaker the power 10 APP
point all committees and 10
name their chairnen, a power
that was taken from him IN the
insurgent revolt of 1910,
In the opinion of this writer,
that power should be restored 10
the speaker, since he has come
10 the conclusion after many
years of reporting the proceed
ings Of Congress, that the de-
plorable weakness Of the rub
Der stamp Congresses under
the Roosevelt New Deal was
brought about largely because
OF the fact that in destroying
the power Of the speakershIp
he House largely destroyed its
own power, with resultant
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the power Of
the President. Roosevelt was
smart enough 10 take advantage
of this.
1t Is contrary 10 the Repub-
lican tradition of strong con-
crosses and weaker executives,
Uncle Joe Cannon was the last
car of the House. He il was
who was dethroned in 1910.
CANNON twice went over the
" heads of ranking members
~ the appropriations commit
tee, and selected chairmen who
were well down on the list, but
who were OF exceptional ability.
After the reforms of 1910.
there was one occasion when
the committee on committees
ignored the seniority rule IN
selecting chairman for the
appropriations committee.
Actually, under Republican
speakers subsequent 10 1910.
and until his death. Jim Mann
Of Illinois. was the real power
IN the House that created Re-
publican committees and Sc
lected their chairmen.
The danger in abolishing the
seniority rule is two-fold. 1t
would deprive states OF the ad-
vantage which they have in
eiecting strong men TO Congress
and keeping them there. Am
bilious men can thus make =
career.
II the selection Of committees
and chairmen were left 10
committee. that CO m m ittee
would be largely dominated by
the big states, and would be
under the constant pressure ~
politics and the influence OF
personal friendships.

end would come 10 he selected

British embassies and legations in
those countries, for some particular
reason, the Allies would naturally
resent it, as would the two countries
themselves, such an attempt to inter-
fere with or dictate to independent
nations.
The reaction Of the Irish people
to yesterdays news has been one Of
calmness facing grave position.
The government has the satisfaction
Of knowing that it has the support
of a united people on this particular
question.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-03-22

Our people are fundamentally
behind the government in its policy
of neutrality with full consciousness
of the duties that the policy imposes.
Irish neutrality represents the
united will of the people and parlia-
ment. 1t is a question of principle,
not of eXpediencV.

WHY are the American people so
" often denied information about
the events of war?
This s>rot the only instance of
the suppression of vital information.
Too much war information has
been suppressed beyond any reason
able time or demands of military
secrecy, often Tor no reasonable
purpose at all.
If these things are done in the
belief that the American people can
not stand the shock of bad news, it
is a mistaken and dangerous belief.
The people are grown up and can
stand any kind of news.
The disturbing thing is that they
do not GET the news promptly in
any event, and NOW THEY MUST
USPECT AND EVEN CON.
CLUDE THAT THEY DO NOT
GET SOME OF 1T AT ALL.
1T is not the right of military au-
thorities TO withhold war news,
good or bad, beyond the minimum
limits of security.
1t is surely not their right TO
cover up their own tragedies or to
hide their own disastrous mistakes
in the hope the people will never
know about them.
The war department has assured
the people that measures have now
been taken to prevent such mistakes
as occurred in Sicily. That is COM
mendable
But have any measures been
taken to discipline the military au-
thorities whose negligence or incom-
petence was responsible for such
pitiable tragedy?
And have steps been taken to
prevent the unreasonable suppress.

public have a right to know?

McCarran said the new line
would not be monopoly. but
he was expressing legalism
not true in fact. The set-up
would be such that no other
company than the American

because it would not get gov

For all practical purposes Tex

Both Pan American and the
domestic lines, are likely 10 fall

the civil aeronautics b o ar'd

The main objection is likely
10 come from the freedom of

would freeze the Visiting
Sovereignties of nations over
their air and require the state
department TO approve any
foreign ship landings In the
United States.
Thus this first of the postwar

Badoglio government. They say
the Russian leader abandoned
them on this. merely for the

That explanation straightens
the matter out for everyone
except American diplomats who
cannot move in such zigzag
course. embracing today what
they intend to discard tomor-

Incidentally, American officials
are eager to get Russia to open

Lynchings Decrease

Lynching has sometimes been
called peculiarly American in
stitution." Certainly the shame
of it fingers on our records. We
cannot forget that crimes of this
sort between 1882 and 1903 ay-
eraged 152 a year.
Happily, that chapter of his
tory seems to be closing. Last
years lynching total was down
to three as against five In 1912.
More significant still is the
fact that firm action of officers
of the law prevented nine threat
ened lynchings, while private cit
liens, white and colored, who
Joined to fight off mob, stopped
a tenth. America is plainly de-
termined to disown and abolish
this hideous practice.
But the spirit of lynching has
only been scotched. 1t still per
petuates crimes of hoodlumisn
and race hatred. Education
against it cannot afford to re
lax. New York Times.
