measures to bring peace on the domes-
tic front-industrial peace
he was co-sponsor, with Senator
Hatch, Democrat Of New Mexico, and
Senator Ball, Republican of Minnesota,
OF the bill which materially amends the
National Labor Relations Act and
which establishes new measures and
methods for bringing about peaceful
settlement of labor management dis
putes.
The heads OF labor organizations have
denounced this bill as "iniquitous' in
the extreme. Mr.. Burton's immediate
confirmation by the Senate, however,
precluded any effort to defeat his ap-
pointment. The prompt action of the
Senate Judiciary Committee, followed
by unanimous and favorable action by
the Senate itself were clear indication
that no fight could have been success
fully waged against Justice Burton in
any event, even If the labor leaders
wished to make one.
=
Justice Burton is the first Republican
appointed to the Supreme Court since
Justice Roberts tretired) was named by
President Hoover in 1850 period of
Is years. Mr.. Hoover's final appoint
ment to the highest court was the late
Associate Justice Cardoza-a Democrat,
appointed in 1882. The late President
Roosevelt appointed eight associate
justices-all Democrats-one Of whom is
now Secretary of State Byrnes. and pro-
NOTED Justice Stone. a Republican, to be
Chief Justice
The appointment of Mr.. Burton re-
duces Republican strength in the
Senate by one-but that will be recov-
cred by the Republicans when Senator
Happy" Chandler, Democrat. of Ken
tucky steps out to give all his time to
being the czar Of baseball, provided he
does so before the November, 1916, elec-
tions. 1t also opens the way for former
Gov. John Bricker Of Ohio to run for
the Senate next year if he wishes.
Should Gov. Lausche grab the Demo-
cratic nomination for the Senate, there
would be a real race. Both are popular
and great vote getters. Should Mr..
Bricker be elected Senator, he again
would be in the public limelight for a
try for the presidential nomination in
194S. On the other hand, if Gov. Lausche
won he might be in good position for a
vice presidential nomination as Mr..
Trumans running mate provided Mr..
Truman is renominated as every one ex-
poets.

1t Ia not sufficient for Senator Lu-
cas- to promise that the counsel be
above reproach and above politics. The
committee, not the counsel, will set the
tone of the inquiry.
The personnel of the committee is
not encouraging. Senator Barkley Is
the politically chosen. party leader Of
the Senate. Senator Lucas is a New
Deal regular Senator George is very
busy man, with the gigantic load of ma
tional finances on his shoulders.
The Democratic House members have
never shown marked independence.
On the Republican side, Senator Fer
suson and Representative Keefe are
able investigators, but with the gen.
eral setup as 1t Is they will be Repub-
lican rather than nonpartisan inves-
tigators.
The issue thus becomes political. We
shall get lot of new information, and
little will remain secret after the case
is tried. We can all agree with Speak
er Rayburn, who said. "It is to be hoped
that there win be no politics involved,
but there is 4 big but
In the circumstances both sides will
get what political advantages there are
available. But it deserves to be said
that Candidate Dewey and National
Chairman Brownell decided not to make
political issue Of Pearl Harbor in
1914. They did this because, as law
yers, they knew they did not have the
facts which the administration had
carefully guarded They declined tO
seek votes on the basis Of gossip and
surmise. But no such reluctance will
characterize Republican strategy from
here on. The public will have to get
what II can from highly prejudiced
advocates.

Kored Reussured

President Truman's statement on
Korea is both timely and satisfying.
1t should do much to allay a con-
troversy compounded of misunder-
standing and loose thinking which
was generating heat rather than
light.
The Presidents emphasis on inter-
Allied cooperation in Korean re-
construction Is we'll taken, because
our military occupation of Seoul, the
capital. and the southern provinces
have led many Americans to believe
that we physically control the en-
tire country and thus have the same
freedom of action there that we
have in Japan. This assumption is
erroneous. BY previous agreement,
the occupation of Korea is dual,
the northern part of the country
being under Russian control. This
necessarily limits our discretionary
action in matters such as the estab-
lishment and recognition of a Ko-
rean provisional government which
would logically function on a ma
tion-wide scale.
But aside from this factor, pre-
sumably temporary in character, the
basic facts in the current situation
render impracticable the sudden
scrapping of the japanese adminis-
trative machinery and its immedi-
ate replacement by full -fledged
native regime. For a third of a
century Korea has been under abso-
Lutte japanese domination, during
which period every effort has been
made to crush out the national life.
More than million japanese civil
ians have been colonized in the
country, besides officials and soldiers,
and they Systematically monopolized
everything, from government Jobs
to business and the professions. The
Koreans have been ruthlessly de-
graded into mere hewers Of wood
and drawers of water. The result is
that, with a few exceptions. there
are no persons qualified by expert
ence to run the country along mod
ern democratic lines. A preparatory
period for successful independence
is thus imperative.
This is all the more necessary be :
cause the Koreans have never en-
joyed democratic self-governmerlt.
The ancient civilization Of Korea was
gravely injured by the Mongol In.
vasions OF the thirteenth century
and was still more seriously dis
rupted by the great Japanese inva.
