Congressional Roman Holiday

Contradictory statements, generously supported by facts as the necessity for the continuance of price con- tro have left the American in mudded state o mind as whether the price control and subsdzaton programs should be continued While the National Assoca- tion of Manufacturers has made out good for emna- tion of price control in program designed to restore free competition and accelerate production is probable that Americans still feel that price controls should not be tossed out the wndow-not yet, at least,
 But in the House of Representatives, they feel differ enty least they did yesterday The usual Republican, Southern Democratic coalition succeeded in taking all the bite out of the administrations prcecontro legislation by extending it for nine months instead of by ending the meat subsidy program June 30th by guaranteeing producers processors and retailers reasonable profit on all items they sell

Koppemann in protest against the debac almost succeeded in slipping through amend ment offering Congressional sympathy to the American people, It looks though deserved it. when Congress seems to have gone Roman holiday, when the White House has become completely ineffective in gaining approval for it's legislative program and when control of the House rests with artificial mesaance of politicians of opposing parties.

Too Much Negative Criticism

A CLIO. official has suggested to a convention of the 3arbers and Beauty Cultursts Union of America that mem bers might useful purpose by giving their customers two-mnute talks "A Better America. This counter to the prevailing opinion that it would be better America
 barbers and beauty operators performed their duties with talk whatsoever But under present circumstances the suggestion may be sound
 There does be a lot of cheeress and negatively critical conversation to be heard these days And though it is distinguished by peSSmiSm its subject mat ter is in violent disagreement Generally speaking, there be body of ctzeny that thinks America can do no wrong and smaller group that thinks she can do nothing right.
 solatonism This is the noraft-eXtension foregnoan nohisandtha group Real and fancied snubs and eXpo atons for foreign and peoples add fuel to their oratory. Heedless of changed and changing Word hef talk is an echo of the popular reasoning of l9l920.
 In the other group are people whose thinking is eX emped in recent speeches by Senator Pepper and earlier by Secretary Wallace They have way of painting American imperialism darkest hues emphasizing our nefarous connving with British imperialism expressing scan hope for present economic and political systems and minimizing ignoring, eXcusing any Russian wander ngs from the paths of righteousness.
 These people deliberately, nnocenty, through ex cessve zeal for international understanding follow pat tern of thought laid down in Moscow To them, have right to criticize question Russian policy until have banished all nequties from domestic environ ment. This is dangerous of sequitur in spite of our obvious need put house order In each group who hope for the United Nations-thOugh their despair spring from different sourcesand who view war as inevitable.
 Sometimes it may seem that the millions of ordinary people in the United States not forcefuy artcuate influential in the conduct of their foreign affairs But surely the dull weight of much gloom only have harmful if passive effect It parayzes effort and nitia tive, and saddens countless lives
 It isn't pretty world now, to be But certainly would be no worse all of would strive for and more hopeful habit of thinking and speaking It would be nice to think that in the democratic forum of the American get started in the right direction they took little off the top.

critical in its way for now we can lose the peace in the play of small politics.
 This matter so important to our leadership in world affairs is immediate and primary There are others where ghortsighednesS reveals itself There was for example, what the Senate did the other day in the name of the farmer to count farm wages in estimating parity. This served double purpose. II was neat scheme as well, to kill off the bill raE- ing substandard wages for industrial workers from 40 to 66 cents an hour.
 There iS also. the fight to cripple OPA or de- Stroy it
 All Of this-and there Is more discloses strategy of psychology which is worth analysis. In an elec- ton year the Congressman Is looking for handy blocks of votes The easiest way is to yield to greV- entS are for the moment in this group or so many CongrsStnen think. Farmers are too so they think Then there arc business interests some speculative, who want an end Of OPA,
 What all of this would do to our long time for elgn and domestic policy they find 1t convenient to forget. Loss of internatinal leadership Keeping the peace, imitation at home, the boom and the bust Worry about those later-and 1t usually turns out to be too late
 There Is something else folks back home might consider. They might take & look at all the things well-being of the people at large. The young man will have to be in the service, under the draft only for comparatively short time,
 But he comes back to live for long, long time And Congress, while 1t is trying to get votes for now has done little about things that will mean something for him. for every day, in the rest Of his fe-national health protection, long time housing and Slum clearance program, expansion Of social security and many other things in the Truman pro- gram.

Views of the Press

that this effort would make far reaching contribution to the cons cept of One World. For the Spring. field program evolved gradually. It began with pr. Granrud's efforts to make the teaching staff of his schools more representative of the cosmopolitan community they were trying to educate. The business of recruiting teachers from the newer, clements of America brought con. sultation with Professor Clyde R Miller had suggested to the National Conference of Christians and Jews that 1t find one school system to develop a program for combating prejudice and promoting working democracy pr Granrud and Springfield were ready to try.
 The story of how a program to give teachers and students respect for the racial and religious heritages of others as well as their own spread from the claSsrooms to the com. munity of how 1t came to premeate every level of school life and slowly began to enlist the whole comnun- ity for experiments In practical democracy, is thrilling one. That program Is called the Springfield Plan; actually there Is no formal plan, only the aim Of substituting understanding for prejudice and en- couraging participation of all in democratic processes. It was adopted in other school systems: its leaVen began to work in other communities.
 Now conference has been called at Oxford next July to consider means of extending the Springfield Plan into worldwide organi2a- ton to fight prejudice. Delegates from twelve nations will attend. Dr. Henry Noble MacCracken, making the announcement here. says that one reason for the conference is to counter the effect of Nazi intoler- ance on British and American occu- patton troops. That is, of course, but one Of many reasons, We were struck by a report on camp for displaced children in Germany made by Marguerite Higgins. Per haps the most striking thing about this group of children" she wrote, lis the rapid growth of violent na- tionalism." Violent feeling led to battles and name calling, demon- strating the tenacity, the militancy of age-old prejudice even among waifS. If the delegates at oxford can bring the Springfield Plan to bear on children such as these, Dr. Gran rud and Springfield will have made mighty contribution.

The problems involved in giving them practically unlimited range letting them remain submerged for unlimited periods and equipping them to launch rockets or ugded missiles against targets they can- not see are not considered insurmountable
 In view of such prospects as these it is hmposs- be to see how anyone can resist the logic ot complete reorganization of national defense. It needs reorganization from the highest to the lowest echcelons.

First the U S. charge DAffares in Teheran called on Premier Ghavam and urged that Iran keep ts dispute before the United Nations until Russian troops were withdrawn May 6.
 Premier Ghavam however, was quite frank in admitting he was ready to yield to the Russians. He said that if Iran didn't withdraw its case from the United Nations all the good work Iran had done to soothe its Russian relations would be undone. He appealed to the United States 10 understand Trans position in the matter. After some argument how ever, he finally agreed that he would delay giving instructions to Ambassador Ala In New YorK unth he received further word from Secretary Of State James Byrnes.
 Simultaneously Ed stettinuS in New York talked to Ambassador Ala in order to stiffen his backbone
 Ala, however needed no Stiffening. Ills back bone-at that time-was like a ranrod against withdrawing Trans case from the Security Council until Russian troops were withdrawn May 6.
 He told stettinus that he had asked Premier Ghavam for an explanation of the Teheran state- ments that Iran was ready to withdraw its case Ghavan, he said, had described these as "Just the report of the irresponsible press"
 In the end, of course Ghavam did exactly what the irresponsible press' reported him as ready to do and ordered the Tranian case withdrawn from the United Nations agenda.
 NOTE-Premier Ghavam owns considerable prop erty in the Russian sphere of influence along the Caspian Sea- has become wealthy during the war partly through Russian favors.
 British Delegate Sir Alexander CadOgan has s- sued a denial of this columns recent report that London had instructed British diplomats at the Se- curty Council to postpone or complicate procedure on the Spanish issue until Franco could work out a compromise in Spain
 While this clumnist naturally did not dream up the text of the British cables on Spain we are delighted to carry Sir Alexanders denial, which fol- lows in full:

 It is interesting to note that just few hours be- fore Cadogan issued the above denial he sent round to all British diplomats in New York and hastily called in the texts of the previously distributed cabed

HOLIDAY FROM REALITY
(The Boston Herald

CThe Boston Herald
 The House will vote today to sur render the full authority of Amer lca's voice in world reconstruction. It will pass the draft holiday bill, which halts inductions from May IS to October Is and ends the con- scription of all under 20 after the former date. Unless the Senate, which is under less urgent political compilations, reVises the measure, the United States will, in the words of General Eisenhower, gamble with the national security and with the peace and security of the world
 The House has taken the easy and shameful way. It has virtually kill- ed the draft without seeming to, for the exemption of l8 and l9-year- oldS removes the only considerable reservoir left for Selective Service. It has in a rather cowardly fashion passed along to President Truman the onus of reinyoking draft induc- tions on October IS. just before the elections. It has piously prohibited the drafting of fathers after May IS, while refusing to the Army enough new soldiers to permit the early release of fathers who are in service. It has shut its eyes to the still Semi-belligerent state of the world, in which the peace treaties are not yet written and the pres- tige Of a nation is measured by the power back of It's words.
 A majority of the Congressmen thinE they hear from home man. date to call off the draft. Is this really the mood of America7 Do we as a nation wish to gamble on our commitments in Europe, in Asia, in the Pacific and the Atlantic and in all the outposts that we are man. ming to make the peace stick2 Do we want to short-change the mil- lions who have been drafted up to now by an undue Solicitude for the few hundred thousand who are still needed?
 If the House version is finally passed the rest of the world will in- fer that we are cooling down on our ardor for international peace and justice, returning to our old shell, sinking back Into the soft complac- ency of democracies. The war we won so hard can be so easily lost
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-04-18

The Army and the Air Forces also need tnorougn overhauling to bring them up to date
 If the war had lasted another year or two, neces- sty would have dictated this complete reorganization There is no valid reason why reorganization should not be effected in time of peace. Traditions of the services their proud records, have to be put in the museums and history books, along with bows ana arrows and knights carrying spears to make way for new technological warfare.
 Every bit of information released on new weapons under development when the war ended indicates how radically different the problems of national defense -
 Air transport Is just beginning The possibility that all ground forces will in time have to become airborne is very real
 The use Of guided misses-drone planes and bombs operated by remote control through radio ana televislon-is also just beginning.
 The use of rockets is just beginning, The U. 2. Army will fire It's first Va gpe German rockets at white Sands, New Mexico. May 6 These are mere experimental models, with ranges of only 20 miles. reaching attitudes up to 100 miles attaining speeas ID to a Alow-poke $500 miles per honr

took the easy way by limiting draft extension to nine months, instead of a year; by voting holiday on inductions for five months from May IS to October Recovering the primary Season-and by raising the age from ls to 20
 The performance was even much worse than that cold record, which Is bad enough For in three ways the House dodged It's responsibility.
 The House refused to take record vote on any of the disturbing changes made in administration proposals. Members had recourse to the committee Of the whole" procedure. In the second place. the House left 1t to President Truman to decide whether the draft will be resumed after Oct. l5. Thirdly, many members figured that the Senate-only a third of which Is up for re-election-would do what they did not have then courage to do. Thus they shifted their responsibility again.
 The House went through one of these draft mis- takes, almost at another critical period Only by one vote was extension of the draft saved in l94l, few months before Pearl Harbor, when it. was so es- sential that prepare to protect our national ex- Stence.
