Arthur Brisbane. the late great
editor of the Hearst newspapers,
found Bennett in the immigration
office on the New York water
front. arguing about the fact that
he was returning from Europe

A characteristic of Brisbane was
his deep interest in all manner of

interested in this energetic young
sailor who had been a lightweight
boxing champion.
The editor took Bennett 10 the

manager of the New York office

FEp( IS NOT DEAD, But

newspaper neadllneS are mis-
leading. The dramatic battle over
FEPC was won by the northern
and southern opposition whose
views were expressed before the
world by Rep. Rankin and Sens.
Bilbo and Eastland. Actually, the
intolerant, reactionery, and white
supremacy forces in the country
fought with everything, every trick,
every prejudice, every bit of mud
they could get their hands on.
Frankly FEPC invites it's rough
treatment. Out of fear and timidity,
possibly out of desire to appease
or placate the opposition, the COM
mittee asked for a mere half mil
lion dollars for it's 1945-46 budget.
To really develop and expand it's
fight against racial, religious, and
nationality determinations in en-
ployment it needed at least mil
lion dollars. This is nearly twice the
amount requested by the committee.
We hope the members of the COM
mittee have now learned that it is
disastrous to follow timid policies
in the face of aggressive race, re-
ligious and nationality prejudices
in the US.
During the next fiscal year the
committee will exist largely in name
only. The S250,000 compromise
appropriation means slow strangu-
lation. And unless the work of the
committee is handled with maxi
mum foresight, next June the pub
lie support and reputation will be
far weaker than they are today.
1t is to be hoped tht the friends
of FEPC are not thinking the op-
position will keep hands off FEPC
until next year. The fight is simply
entering another phase, one Of
which can bring victory as well as
another.
The strategy of the opposition
can be expected to follow well
worn pattern for such scraps. The
pattern has been followed success
fully on other agencies such as the
Interstate Commerce commission,
