Arab Ultimutum

The communication sent to the
British government by the Palestine
Arab Higher Committee is clear
indication of the explosively con-
Trajectory factors present in the
tangled and complex program of the
Holy Land. This communication,
described by the spokesman of the
Arab Committee as "the next thing
to an ultimatum," was, of course,
evoked by the report of the Joint
Anglo-American Committee of In
quiry, advocating, among other
things, the immediate admission
into Palestine of 100000 European
Jewish displaced persons" to which
the Arabs are bitterly opposed. The
spokesman went on to say that "in
our view, if Britain implements the
report, those two minutes will pass
into history as historical seconds"
The Arab note accuses the Com
mittee Of Inquiry of having been
motivated by political considera-
tions which threaten the national
existence of the Arabs in Palestine"
violate the principles of the Allan
tic Charter, and make necessary the
adoption of any means to defend
their future. The note foreshadows
a resumption of the Arab rebellion
in Palestine, known as "the national
struggle" from 1886 to 1889, which
ended only after issuance of the
British White Paper limiting Jewish
immigration into Palestine to negli-
gible proportions. 1t is this White
Paper policy which the Committee
of Inquiry suggests be rescinded in
favor of much more liberal immi-
grafton policy for the Jews
Judging from current news dis
patches, the entire Arab world is
incensed at the report and is rally
ing behind the Palestinian Arabs.
It should be remembered that all
the Arab peoples have recently
solidified in an Arab League, with
headquarters in Cairo, and that
several of them are represented as
sovereign states in the United Ma
tions. The tone of Arab comment
everywhere takes the line that the
report and it's recommendations are
solidifying Arab public opinion in a
solid front against large-scale Jew
ish immigration into Palestine. Most
Arabs, regardless of their technical
nationality, sffect to believe that
Jewish influence in Palestine would
constitute a potential invasion"
that would ultimately threaten
them all.
Regardless of its validity, this at
titude Is so general and has been
so long indoctrinated among the

and the bus firm. As a matter of
fact, both sides always had main
tanned their willingness to arbi-
trate, but until Federal conciliators
stepped into the picture they could
not agree as"to the scope of an arbi-
tration clause to be included in a
new contract. While the details of
the tentative arbitration agreement
have not yet been divulged, the gen.
eral effect of the understanding is
to recognize what the gas company
employees have recognized: That
strikes against public utility are
strikes against the public, and that
the public interest, being para
mount, must prevail over strikes.
lockoutS or other Interruptions to

arbitration in public utility labor
disputes there can be only one tol-
cradle choice.

= Enemies of OPA

Some of the worst enemies of the
Office of Price Administration are
to be found, not among its critics,
but among those who profess to be
its friends.
The experience of Secretary of
Agriculture Anderson last week
serves to illustrate the point. Called
before the Senate Banking Commit
tee, Mr.. Anderson expressed the per-
sonal belief that meat controls
should be lifted if ninety-day
experiment with a revived quota
system fails to bring a reasonably
adequate supply of livestock into
legitimate channels. He agreed with
packers who say that those who stay
within ceiling price limits have been
unable to get enough livestock for
slaughter, largely because of the
diversion of meat into the higher
priced black market. There is
ample evidence to support that view,
including the statement by Majority
Leader Barkley that man in whom
he had every confidence" had told
him that while he normally slaugh-
tered 1000 head a week he can now
get but 500-a case which Mr.. Ander-
son described as typical
Despite the reasonableness of Mr..
Andersons testimony, however, he
was soon brought under fire by one
Of OPA's more articulate friends. In
Denver, and prior to the Presidents
receipt of the letter James G. Pat
ton, president Of the National Farm
ers' Union, announced that he had
written to Mr.. Truman demanding
Mr.. Anderson's removal from the
cabinet. Asserting that the Ander-
son testimony was IAN open invita-
ton to the packers to continue their
tremendous campaign to smash price
control" Mr.. Patton wrote that
there is no room in the administra-
ton for both Mr.. Anderson and those
still seeking to control imitation"
As it happens, the President seems
to have disposed OF this phase of
the matter by his announcement on
Thursday that he agrees with Mr..
Anderson. But this does not alter
the fact that OPA is suffering at
the hands of those of its friends"
who seek to silence any criticism of
the agency by shouting down the
critics and attacking their good
faith. Mr.. Anderson, as a matter OF
fact, is not one of those who advo-
Gates the abolition of OPA. But even
if he were, he should be entitled
to express his honest views to a
senatorial committee without being
abused by Mr.. Patton or any one
else. And the OPA, in it's current
struggle to survive, would be better
off without the assistance of friends
who apparently believe to the
contrary.

Strike or Arbitrution?'

BY agreeing to resort to arbitra-
ton, principals in two labor disputes
in the local public utility field have
evidenced a proper appreciation of
their obligations to the public they
serve "a manifestation unfortu-
nately lacking in too many similar
controversies. Voting on the ques-
ton, Strike or arbitration?" a ma
1orlty OF union employees of the
Washington Gas Light Company
have shown their sense of RESPONSE
blllty by choosing to submit their
grievances to an arbitration board
rather than walk off the Job and
thus deprive 100000 consumers of an
important utility. 1t is gratifying to
learn that prior to the balloting
local and international leaders of
the American Federation of Labor
unions involved urged their men,
bers to accept arbitration as "the
most satisfactory means" of adjust
ing their differences with the gas
company over wages and hours.
: The second arbitration decision
ended an eight-day- strike by $50
employees of the Arnold bus lines
that had seriously inconvenienced
some $4,000 commuters living in Ar
lington County. 1t is evident that
an arbitration agreement at the out
set OF the Virginia dispute would
have preserved bus service for the
public without adversely affecting
the negotiations between the drivers

The Droft and the Loan

Opponents of the British loan have
maneuvered the Senate into a
parliamentary tangle threatening
grave consequences unless there is
prompt agreement to stop the de-
laying tactics that have come to
endanger not merely this all-im;
portant measure but the extension
of the draft as well.
Senator Barkley's angry impa-
tience with the situation is under
standable. The issue has been fully
debated for more than three weeks,
and there is nothing new to be said
about it now. In the circumstances,
the fact that a certain few Senators
notably Senators Johnson, Ellen
der and Langer-persist in pursuing
vote e-blocking course strongly sug-
gests that they are engaged in a
kind of filibuster.
When the loan came up, the hope
was that Senate action upon it
would have been taken before now,
clearing the way for consideration
of other pressing measures, par
ticularly the draft extension bill. AS
the debate developed, however, indi-
cations grew of an effort to delay
vote long enough to force a laying
aside of the credit proposal in order
to take up the imperative business
of extending selective service before
it automatically expires on May Is.
These opposition tactics appear to
have been based on the assumption
that if it were once laid aside the
loan would have to wait an indef-
nitely long time for Senate action
and thus might possibly be killed
off. But Senator Barkley has now
served notice that he will block any
motion to shelve 1t even If by so
doing he would be helping to sacri-
fee the draft extension. He con-
siders the extension to be of vital
Importance, of course, but he holds
the credit proposal to be even more
vital in terms OF the future peace
and prosperity of the world.
Senator Barkley's feeling about
the delaying tactics is justified, and
there can be no doubt of how essen
tial the loan is, but the draft extern
sion is an absolute and immediate
neceSSity. and his threat to sacrifice
it can serve only to play into the
hands of those who want to let
selective service die. The situation
thus is one in which two measures
of the topmost significance are i'm
periled. Certainly sense of re-
sponsibility and watchfulness of the
Nations interests demand that the
Senate put an end to this paralysis
at once. There is precious little time
left.

Dr.. Simon FIexner

entered its modern phase when Or.
Simon Flexner came from Louisville
to Baltimore more than half a
century ago. Johns Hopkins was a
famous school when he enrolled in
it. He studied under group of
teachers OF very great distinction
and qualified himself to do his own
part in carrying on their labors
when they were gone. But he never
could have been content to be merely
a member of 'one single fellowship.
His genius was inclusive. In obedi-
ence to it, he went to Strassburg,
Berlin, Prague and Paris. At the
Pasteur Institute notably he found
the pattern Of his mature career.
The Rockefeller family made pos
sible the generous endowment Of DR..
Flexner's most important endeavors
not simply as research pathologist
but likewise as an organizer, an
administrator and an executive
officer in the whole wide field of
creative healing. With the money
thus provided, he continued his
Investigations Of dysentery, menin-
gifts, infantile paralysis, lethargic
encephalitis and other plaques, sum-
moning long list of contemporary
"microbe hunters" to aid in the
chase. The institution which he
brought into existence was a projec-
ton of the aggregate mind and
heart Of his associates and him
self. For three decades he led the
most successful scientific campaign
against the bacterial enemies of
mankind ever staged in the United
States.
Epidemics we're his specially in
the later years of his life. The chal-
lenge of recurrent plaques kept DR..
Flexner consistently active even
when theoretically he had retired.
His conception of his duty and func-
ton in the world was to fight disease
with every available weapon, and
time, energy, devotion, enthusiasm
and patience were just so many in
struments in his arsenal. Military
language is a natural choice for the
writing of the history of his crusades.
He was a strategist of olympian
character.
HonorS we're heaped upon him in
public recognition of his services,
yet DR.. Flexner remained unspoiled.
The courtesy and kindness which he
exhibited toward all classes Of people
were proverbial. He will be remem-
bered particularly in relation to the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical
Research, but he will not be for
gotten in connection with his own
rare gifts and qualities.
