Senator Lucas, Democrat, of Illinois,
aiming particularly at the conditions
brought about by the coal strike, has
an amendment which enables the Presi-
dent, in the case of work stoppage
seriously affecting the health, safety
or security of the people. arising
out of labor dispute, including the
expiration of a collective labor agree
ment, to issue a proclamation, calling
upon the parties to resume work in
the public interest. If they fail to do
so. then the President is empowered to
take over the properties involved and
operate them while the dispute still
continues.
This, in effect, would make perma-
nent the Smith Connally Act-but it
goes further in that it would take from
employees who fail to return to work
in plant or mine seized by the Gov
eminent the rights extended to them
under the National Labor Relations
Act. This inclination, however, of Sen
ators who are willing to support this
amendment is to limit its operation to
two years-in the hope that within
that period a better system Of labor
relations may be built up Further,
there is fear that the seizure of in
dustries-as the coal mines-might lead
eventually to demand for national
ization" Of industry.

A series Of amendments has been
offered by Senators Ball, Taft and
Smith, members of the Labor Com
mittee, attacking the use of force or
violence by any of the parties to a
labor dispute. separating Supervisory
employees from the regular labor unions:
imposing on labor unions responsibility
for living up to contracts entered into
through collective bargaining, and
attacking secondary boycotts.
Senator Ellender, Democrat, of
Louisiana, has three amendments, one
Of which defines supervisory employees,
another strikes at secondary boycotts,
and a third authorizes the President
to create emergency commissions to
report in labor disputes involving public
utilities, with 30 days in which to submit
reports.
Out of all these amendments, some
thing may yet be accomplished.

Hungry Europe
Senators Doubt Public Aroused

From the Wall Street Journal
Some hundreds of thousands of men
are under arms in eastern Europe whose
normal peacetime occupation is produc.
ing food. They cannot expect the west.
ern world to support them as soldiers
much longer, or any longer. Russia is q
great grain country; Roumania normally
has some wheat for export. What effort
is eastern Europe making to restore its
pre-war home food supply?
Masses of men, women and children
barely living on half rations cannot wait
for political peace. They should not be
condemned to wait and starve. But we
who are asked to succor them have q
right to know what is going on over
their heads-whether they are not the
victims of regional politics as well as of
a war that has now been over for almost
year.
Without honest answers to these cues.
tions it is only too likely that relief Of
the suffering will continue to be too
little and too late.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

Congress, it appears, is about to enact
legislation to remedy in part the situa-
tion which has been created by the lop-
sided Federal labor relations laws. Two
things have forced the hands of those
members of Congress who desire to
follow a do-nothing course. The first
is the coal strike, which has threatened
to halt, If not destroy, the country's
efforts to bring about a strong recon-
version to peacetime industry The
second is the fact that the Case bill
entitled the Labor Disputes Act of
1946," as amended by the Senate Com
mittee on Labor, opportunely happened
to be on the Senate calendar, after
being held in the committee from Feb
ruary 8 to April IS.
The amended Case bill-whose title
was changed by the Senate committee
to the Federal Mediation Act Of 1916"
in itself constitutes little change in
the existing laws other than the crea-
ton of an independent Federal Media
ton Board, removing from the Depart
ment of Labor its present conciliation
powers and the United States Concilia-
ton Service. 1t is in the amendments
proposed to this bill by individual Sen
atofS that the hope rests for some
remedial legislation
Among these amendments is that
offered by Senator Byrd of Virginia to
prohibit the collection by labor union
Of any royalty" whether upon articles
produced or otherwise, from an en-
ploying company. This was aimed at an
expected proposal Of John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Workers,
that a royalty of 10 cents ton of
coal mined be paid into the unions
treasury, presumably to be used for a
welfare fund to look after miners and
their families, especially in cases where
miners have been injured in the course
Of their employment. However, Lewis
has dropped this plan in favor of pay
roll tax
Another Byrd amendment calls for
the incorporation of unions, their regis
tration with the Securities and Ex-
change Commissioners industrial and
financial corporations must register
and for full financial reports to the
commission annually. Labor unions, Mr.
Byrd insists, are now big business" :"

classes, who oppose the high-caste
Hindu domination Of the Congress
party; the small but militant Sikh
minority, and even the native Chris
tians, quite numerous in the far
south. India is. in fact. subcon-
tinent rather than country"
which has never known real politi-
cal unity, and wherein dwell con-
geries of peoples sundered from each
other by wide differences in religion,
language, blood and outlook. How
to weld all these unco-ordinated
factors into an organic political syn
thesis is something that has hitherto
baff1ed the wisest craftsmanship,
British and Indian alike.

Breakdown in India

For the second time within
twelvemonth the problem of con-
stitutional framework for a self
governing India. either independent
or within the framework of the Brit
ish Commonwealth of Nations, has
failed of solution. The reason was
the same which shipwrecked the
conference held last year under the
auspices of the Viceroy-the irrec-
oncilable programs of the Hindu
dominated Congress party and the
MoSlem League. The latter demands
the creation OF separate political
entity to be known as Pakistan,
carved out of the predominantly
Moslem provinces of Northern India.
This demand the Congress party
unalterably opposes. The British
Cabinet Mission did its best to evolve
compromise in the shape of an
overall regime superimposed upon
two groupings of provinces, one
Moslem and the other Hindu, each
OF which would be virtually auton-
omous. Perhaps this compromise
might have been agreed upon by the
top leaders, Pandit Nehru for the
Congress party and Mohammed Ali
Jinnah for the Moslem League. I'm
fortunately they appear to have
been overborne in their conciliatory
attitude by their extremist followers
on either side.
The British Cabinet Mission is
doing it's best to minimize the grav-
ity of the impasse by a statement
tactfully declaring that no blame is
to be placed on either of the dis
putants and going on to affirm its
intention to continue its efforts to
find a solution. Nevertheless, the
repercussions on Indian public opin-
ion are expected to be serious.
Meanwhile, some interim arrange
ment would seem imperative. The
present governing body, known as
the Viceroy's Executive Council, has
rendered its resignation and can so
be eliminated at the proper moment.
The British Cabinet Mission is now
seeking formula under which an
interim popular government could
be established, on which the Moslems
could be induced to serve If their
claim for Pakistan would not be
thereby compromised Another prob
ability is for the mission to announce
some constitutional structure as the
goal toward which Hindus and Mos
lens might feel their way.
1t should not be forgotten that
the problem of Indian unity is more
complex than the rivalry between
Hindus and Moslems. There are
also the factors of. the native
princes; the organized low-caste
Hindus, known as the depressed

DlStruSt at Paris
By Georee Fieldine Eliot

In observing and analyzing the politi-
cal maneuvers of the Paris Conference.
one should not forget the military con-
siderations which unlerlie them and are
inextricably intermingled with them. 1t
is fair to say that all four of the powers
represented at Paris are truly anxious
that the United Nations shall become
a successful operating concern, and are
truly anxious to get back to their home
work in an atmosphere of reasonable
security. But they do not all have the
same conception of the means by which
these objectives are to be attained; they
do not to put it bluntly, wholly trust
one another. As long as this is so the
military considerations will remain in
the picture. Each nation wants-as far
as it can-to be in position to take
care of itself If the international ma
chinery breaks down, No nation will,
If it can avoid doing so, reduce its mill
tary insurance below what it considers
the level OF safety.
But here again there is a difference
of concept The French know perfectly
well that for the present, at least, their
military insurance lies in maintaining
close relations with the British and
the Americans. That is why, when the
chips are down, they tend to side with
us; they have not yet sufficiently recov-
cred their strength to stand alone.
There remain the Russians, the Brit
ish and ourselves. Russia is great land
power, possessing enormous armies but
very little sea power and very
little long-range air power. Britain
and the United States have great sea
and air forces-virtually all the naval
strength and virtually all the long range
air strength in the world; but they are
Nations which do not ordinarily, in
time of peace, maintain large armies.
Both are now trying to keep up some
measure of land force, and both are
encountering legislative and other diff
f1culties in the attempt-difhcultie
which are not among the difficulties of
the Soviet government.
Now. hitherto it has seemed to this
writer as well as to other observers of
Russian policy that Russia has been
proceeding on set of military assump-
tions which belong properly to the 10Th
century. or at least to the period OF
World War NOTABLY the assumption
tiers are essential to Russian military
security. On several previous occasions
this writer has pointed out the obso-
lescence of this point Of view in this
age OF air power and atomic energy;
especially when 1t Is considered that
from the Russian viewpoint there are
ony two military powers in the world

Curt Before the Horse

Both the McCarran home rule"
bill now pending before the Senate
Judiciary Committee and the La
Toilette bill, introduced yesterday
and giving legislative effect to the
recommendations for "self-rule of
the District of Columbia" recon-
mended by the Joint Committee on
the Organization of Congress, pro-
vide for submission to a local refer
endum of whatever charter for mu-
nicipal government is approved by
q charter commission.
If the charter is acceptable to the
people of the District, Congress will
then proceed to approve it, amend
1t or reject it. 1t seems to The Star
that this method puts the cart be-
fore the horse. 1t would seem pref
cradle first to submit to Congress
the proposed charter, with the I'M
derstanding that the form approved
by Congress then would be referred
to the people of Washington. That
was the method followed in the
Philippines independence measures,
which were approved by Congress
before submission to the Filipinos.
One such measure was rejected in
the Philippines, another was ap-
proved. If the conditions and the
subjects are not strictly comparable,
the principle is at least the same.
There is every reason, in the
charter proposals, for the people
of the District to look this gift horse
in the mouth. The success of those
charged with preparation of drawing
up a charter for home rule in the
District will depend on their ability
to provide an instrument which
retains the principle of national
control over the seat of Government
while extending to the people who
live here a substantial degree of con-
troll over their municipal govern
ment. The difficulty will be to avoid
the unique conflict, in Washington,
between those things which in an
ordinary municipality are purely
local and those things which, be-
cause this is the Capital, are largely
national. Perhaps it is possible to
do this. But the specifications
should be approved by Congress
first, so that when they are sub
mitted to the people of the District
the final terms will be understood in
advance.
This point should be further ex-
plored if the McCarran bill reaches
the Senate floor or during the hear
ings on Senator La Follette's meas
ure It's Importance should be obvi-
Gus to those familiar with the in
tricate commingling of local and
national interests in the govern
ment of Washington and the desir-
ability Of so separating them, in any
grant OF local autonomy, that the
local taxpayers support of a purely
municipal government will not
saddle him with more, in the form
of national obligations, than he can
carry,

Crime on q Rampage

Fears of law enforcement authori-
ties of a postwar upsurge of crime
are borne out by disturbing police
statistics tabulated by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation for the
first quarter of 1916 An average in
crease of approximately % per cent
in serious crimes was reported to the
FBI for the first three months of
this year. as compared with SINH
lar period in 1945. The biggest in
creases were in the categories of
robbery and murder, with robbery
leading the list with Jump of near
ly At per cent and murder next with
384 per cent. Theft of automobiles,
an offense often committed in the
course of other crimes, rose 1873 per
cent and burglary 1858 per cent.
These figures do not tell the whole
story. A particularly alarming as
pect of the incipient wave of law
lessness is the fact that youths un-
der 81 are playing an increasingly
important role in the field of major
crimes. Representative Louis c.
Rabaut of Michigan, chairman OF
the subcommittee handling FBI ap-
preparations, recently told the House
that more 17-year-old laWbreakers
were arrested last year than in any
other age group and that arrests of
girls under 81 increased more than
109 per cent over the last peacetime
year, 1941. J. Edgar Hoover blames
this startling increase in juvenile
delinquency on decline in parental
supervision and discipline during
the busy war years, when homes
were disrupted by absent parents,
and children often were left to their
own devices. Police of many of the
larger cities have noted the emer-
gence of gangs of young hoodlums,
bent not only on minor mischief but
on burglary. armed robbery and
other grave crimes.
The recently appointed Attorney
Generals Advisory Panel on Juve-
nile Delinquency is undertaking an
intensive study Of this grave prob
lem, and Attorney General Clark
has announced plans for a national
conference to devise ways and
means of curbing the trend. These
steps are all to the good, but sup
plementing them must be collabora-
