FEPc Compromise

Inc process py winch the men,
bers Of Congress have compromised
their differences over the Fair EN-
ployment Practices Committee is not
calculated to win public admiration
for the workings of the National
Legislature.
In all probability clear cut test
of congressional sentiment would
reveal substantial majority support
for the full appropriation sought by
the temporary FEPC, and also for
the permanent agency which has
been proposed Therefore, the
strategy of the opponents has been
te prevent any vote, or, failing that,
to force a vote on the sole issue
of sharply reduced appropria-
ton for the temporary committee,
these funds to be used for purposes
Of liquidation. In other words, the
opposition, by resorting to a variety
of procedural devices. has tried to
impose what is in effect a gov
ernmenC-Dy-mlnOr rule.
To meet these tactics, FEPC sup
porters in the House invoked points
of order which had the effect of
striking ten essential war agencies
from the $SoO,OOOoOO appropriation
bill. In effect, they we're saying that
Congress must choose between
granting funds to the temporary
FEPC or acquieScing in the destruc-
ton of agencies essential to the con-
duct of the war. 1t is worth not
ing, incidentally, that this move
ment was spearheaded by Repre-
sentative Marcantonio of New York.
Mr.. Marcantonio is an ardent and
consistent supporter of the FEPC.
But he has not been a consistent
supporter of Allied interests through
out this war. When Britain was
fighting for her life against the
Nazis, Mr.. Marcantonio was shout
ing that this was an imperiahst'
war. He was voting against such
things as our own Selective Service
Act and doing everything else in his
power to hamper the United States
in its efforts to rearm against the
threat of aggression. When Ger
many attacked Russia, Mr. Marcan-
tonic Immediately began to see the
war in different light, but, on his
whole record, he is not a worthy
champion of the FEPC, nor will the
American people be disposed to lis
ten to his lengthy dissertations on
the "evils" of our political system.
Against this background, there is
not much to be said for the COM
promise that has been reached. 1t
will provide 250,00o-half of the
amount aSked-for the temporary
FEPC. The probable effect of this
will be to keep the agency alive, but
to deny it the means of function
ing in an effective manner. 1t also
breaks the jam which has held up
funds for the other war agencies,
and it is to be expected that final
details will be ironed out and the
bill sent to the President for sigma
ture in time to permit these agen-
cies to meet their July 81 payrollS.
This is the best that can be said of
the compromise, however, for it
serves no other constructive purpose.

Fire: Stotus and Prospects

AWo eNcllIS, occurring alIlOSb
simultaneously yet contradictory in
character. emphasize Fires anoma-
lous situation both within itself
and in relation to the British Com
monwealth of Nations. The first of
these was statement by Prime
Minister de Valera, made in the
Dali or Parliament. On many pre-
vious occasions, Mr.. de Valera has
been asked to define Fires interna-
tional status but has answered In
noncommittal fashion. Last We'd
nesday, however, when an opposi-
ton deputy, James Dillon, asked
fatty: "Are we republic or are
we not?", the Prime Minister re-
piled that Fire is republic.
Apparently dumfounded at the
unexpected response, Dillon went on
to ask when the change had taken
place, but got no answer. This in
cident aroused wide interest and
much discussion in Fire, since a
republic" has long been the watch
word signifying cutting the last ties
with both Britain and the common
wealth and assuming wholly indie
pendent international status.
This has certainly been the goal
of the outlawed opposition group
known as the Irish Republican
Army. Yet the very next day after
De Valera's announcement, his
government arrested some 400
I. r. A. leaders, recently released
from internment, and interned them
again on charges of having plotted
a revolutionary coup involving the
assassination of many government
heads. Why the archchampions of
a republic should have plotted an
uprising to establish republic
which already existed seems some
what illogical.
However, Fires international sta
tus has never been unequivocally
defined The armed insurrection
against British rule which broke
out in 1915 proclaimed a republic.
In 1921 treaty was signed between
Great Britain and the revolutionary
regime whereby the latter accepted
dominion status for the time being
as 1.-THE Irish Free State" In 1881
the relations between Britain and
the self-governing dominions of the
British Commonwealth of Nations
were defined by the Statute Of West
minister, which made all members
equal partners, freely associated and
united only by a common allegiance
to the crown. At that time the
right of secession from the COM
monwealth was acknowledged.
Fires specific position was that of
"a sovereign, independent state, but
associated for certain purposes with
the British Commonwealth of
Nations"
The test came with the outbreak
of World War II, when Fire, alone
among the other commonwealth
members, declared it's neutrality. Its
decision was respected. despite the
grave dangers it causede to Britain
and the rest of the Empire, How
ever, neutrality. though Sparing
Fire direct war losses. has caused
deep resentment in Britain and the
empire, has disqualified it from
charter membership in the United
Nations, and has left it in posi-
ton of isolation which is keenly felt
in Fire itself. Domestic uncertainty
and unrest largely account for the
anomalous incidents that have just
taken place.

Relations With France

American relations with General
de Gaulle seem to have cooled again.
Last Friday French officials an
nounced that he had accepted an
invitation to visit President Truman
here some time in August, but both
the White House and the State
Department received the news in
unusual and rather frigid silence.
Later the President made a point
of saying that he did not expect to
see the general en- route to the Big
Three conference. And later still,
just before starting on his trip
abroad, he emphasized that he did
not intend to go to Paris, although
his itinerary will take him through
several countries.
Plainly enough, for reasons not
yet uncovered, we are being less
than cordial to the head of the
French provisional government. and
although this will remain mystify-
ing until explanations are forth
coming, we can be reasonably sure
that it is not purposeless. General
de Gaulle is said to be bitterly re-
sentful of the fact that he has been
excluded from the Big Three meet
ing, and it is known that he failed
to invite Mr.. Truman to visit France,
and so our current GOODNESS toward
him may result in part from that.
1t is difficult to believe. however,
that that tells the whole story; in
all probability. some differences
over matters of high policy have
developed. and the general may
once again be displaying some of
that celebrated intransigence which
frequently strained his relations
with President Roosevelt.
On October IA, for the first time
since the start of the war, the
French will hold a general election,
which means that the provisional
government will not be in existence
much longer. What will happen to
General de Gaulle is problematical.
He has been represented as declaring
that he does not intend to be can
didate for the new National Assem-
bly,. but political circles in Paris
believe that he may be drafted" to
continue in power. In any event, If
our relations with him deteriorate,
his position is not likely to benefit,
even though there is no evidence
that his popularity among French

Down With OWL!

To the Editor Of The Star:
Many Americans are opposed to the
action Of the Senate Appropriations
Committee in restoring owl funds to
$39,6702l5. With a completely pros
trated Europe on our hands, it is un-
thinkable that such a vast sum of
money should be made available to
spread propaganda throughout the
world-a world sadly in need Of food
and not confusion. There is no justi-
fication whatsoever in perpetuating the
owl at the expense of the American
taxpayer. Demands should be made by
every right-thinking American that the
once of War Information be abolished.
The British have doomed their "OWI"-
let's doom ours.
