reason for friendly and cooperative
relations.
Italian national sentiment is In a
peculiarly sensitive mood, owing to
the humiliation and disillusionment
1t is passing through with it's defeat
in war, foreign occupation by both
sets of belligerents who made Italy
their common battle-ground, and the
loss of colonial empire recognized
as inevitable. Already wrought up
over the impending loss of territory
to Yugoslavia, perhaps including
Trieste, the French taking of Briga
and Tenda, thereby upsetting from
tier arrangement almost a century
old, seems to the Italians like adding
insult to injury, symbol of their
weakness which is doubly CALLING.
Yet what is true concerning Italy
holds for all nations. Everywhere
frontiers are the TOUGHEST of prob
lens. And the lesson to be deduced
is that frontier changes should be
undertaken only for reasons which
can be justified on broad principles
OF equity and not for reasons of ex-
pediency, still less because of superior

An Empty Gesture?

Does Congress really want to see
an effective reorganization of the
Federal administrative machinery?
This question, raised by Representa-
tive Jennings Randolph of West
Virginia in minority report oppos-
ing rejection by the House Com
mittee on Expenditures of the Presi-
dents three-part reorganization
program, is pertinent not only
because of the curt rebuff handed
the President by the committee and
the House but because of the short
shrift given many similar concrete
proposals by past Congresses.
1t is serious thing to question
the sincerity of Congress in espous-
ing the principle Of governmental
reorganization, yet the long, sorry
record of lip service to the cause,
followed almost invariably by fall
ure to act, justifies the inquiry.
Prior to passage of the 1945 Reor-
ganization Act, authorizing the
President to recommend reforms,
Controller General Lindsay Warren
told congressional committee: 1--WE
know from past experience, indeed
from sad experience, here in this
body, that the Congress will never
of its own accord and of it's own
initiative reorganize the Govern
ment." BY the 1945 act, Congress
passed the buck to the White House,
but retained the right of veto by
concurrent resolution of both houses.
Perhaps as result of his own
observations at the Capitol, Presi-
dent Truman sent to Congress
preliminary reorganization program
that was anything but drastic. AS
Mr.. Randolph pointed out, there
are no radical changes involved.
The proposals IDEAL almost entirely
with minor administrative adjust
ments," largely in the housing and
welfare fields. Yet, with but brief
comment and little explanation of
their action, the majority of the
House committee concluded that the
Presidents plan does not meet "the
expectations of Congress" and the
House concurred.
Mr.. Randolph closed his minority
report with a series of questions
worth repeating here: 'Is the Con-
gress going to assume responsibility
for blocking necessary improvements
in the organization of the execu-
tive branch, or is the principle of
presidential initiative and joint ac-
ton with the Congress under the
Reorganization Act of 1945 going to
prevail? Do we or do we not want
reorganization? Is the Reorganiza-
ton Act of 1945 to be only an empty
gesture?" What the Senate does
with this latest program of admin
istrative reform will provide the
answer to these timely and disturb
ing questions.
