these are matters of form. They are
not justifiable reasons why he should
resign.
The nub Of the controversy is the
charge that Justice Black refused to
disqualify himself in a case In which
his former law partner represented one
side. And also that Justice Black
threatened war on the justices who
made known in their dissent that JUS
tice Black and not the court was re-
sponsible for the decision that Justice
Black sit in the case.
If the two justices should resign
Jointly, the whole matter would look
like deal. It would weaken the case
made by Justice Jackson, which goes to
vital question of judicial ethics. The
TACT that a man feels that an injustice
has been done and that he should make
1t public Is no reason why he should
sacrifice his career in making his views
known.
The remedy, if there be one, lies with
the court as whole, not with Congress
or with anyone else. The court should
put on record its conception of what
ethical rules should govern its mem
bers. A member would not be legally
bound by such rules, but he would be
a hardy soul who would ignore them.
The court must do this to regain some
Of the public confidence it has lost. The
best regulator of conduct Is the indi-
vidual. If he fails, the next best is the
professional group to which the indi-
vidual belongs.

Promotion Merited

The Senate has done the right
thing in approving the promotion
OF General Mark Wayne Clark to the
permanent rank OF major general
despite the protests of a group of
Texans who served under General
Clark during the ill-fated Rapido
River crossing attempt. This un-
fortunate and costly episode in the
italian campaign had been aired in
earlier hearings and General Clark
had been cleared OF charges OF in
competency brought against him.
The War Department pointed out
that General Clark in launching the
attack was carrying out an impor-
tant phase Of an overall plan of
his superiors and that the Rapido
operation served its purpose OF
creating a diversion to relieve pres
sure on our troops at Anzio.
Before and after the Rapido action
General Clark proved to be an
efficient and courageous commander.
His postwar job as American mill
tary commander in Austria has been
handled with great tact and in
telligence. It is evident that the
confidence which his superiors have
in him is not misplaced, and to
withhold his well-earned promotion
would be an act Of rank injustice.

On the Record
By Dorothy THOMPSON

I'VE are here to make a choice between
the quick and the dead"
Let US keep in mind the exhortation
Of Abraham Lincoln:
I'VE say We are for peace. The
world will not forget that we say 1t.
We know how to save peace" Prom
Mr.. Baruch's speech at the opening
session Of the Atomic Energy Commis-
sion.
The first quotation states the problem
confronting humanity. The quotation
from Lincoln. uttered at a moment of
national peril, is peculiarly apropos.
I'VE know how to save peace"
But do We fully know what Lincoln
knew? Lincoln knew peace between
the States could be saved only by the
retention Of interchangeable power by
the American Federal Government.
Secession meant divided power and
hence recurrent war. Lincoln, who so
hated war that it drove him into
melancholia. knew, nevertheless, that
divided power had to be eliminated and
the power Of the Federal Government
over the States made arm in order to
bring lasting peace within and between
these States. He understood that peace
Is maintained only by monopolized,
interchangeable power. am not afraid
OF using this phrase despite its disagree
able connotations in other contexts.
Now, Abraham Lincoln was no tech
nologist Of war. He was a statesman
whose greatness consisted in a sub
timely simple realization that the re-
sponsibilities Of power must always be
determined by statesmen handling the
facts by which power Is exercised. This
has not been changed by the discovery
OF nuclear flssion any more than it was
changed by the discovery of the air
plane. A distinguished commentator, a
few days ago, seemed to suggest that
the limited nature Of the knowledge Of
nuclear physics abolishes political re-
sponsibility on Its own right. THE ten
men (who produced the Acheson-Lilien-
thai repor) know more about the
atomic bomb than any other body in
the world could possibly know only
a man who knows the science of nuclear
physics can argue with this committee
on equal terms"
But the 10 men themselves know that
the problem is not one of nuclear
physics. The problem is political. The
bomb does not belong to the men who
created 1t. nor did they decide its initial
use, their own councils, which were
not divided on technical matters, were
sharply divided on whether the bomb
should be used on Japan or merely
demonstrated; and having invented 1t
they turned to political authority to see
that its future use for destruction be
abolished.
The Government and citizens Of the
United States cannot be excluded from

ously, this implies complex arrange
ments not only for rearranging nor
NAL international food commerce
but also for International dietary
conservation by cutting down con-
sumption of food staples, largely
through the increased use Of sub
stitutes not susceptible of long-dis-
tance transportation.
Hoover's report indicates how sue
cessfully these arrangements are
being made. He estimates that Latin
American cooperation will make
available in the crucial June-Sep-
tember period more than 100000
tons of cereals and beans above pre-
vious estimates-a net total of about
2,l20,000 tons in the four months
indicated. There are still further
possibilities from the Argentine" he
continues, while "the changes in the
situation of fats and oils are in the
same favorable directions"
Argentina is naturally the key fac
tor, though it's export capacity has
been affected by partial crop fail
ure last year owing to severe
drought. Nevertheless, Mr.. Hoover
reports that the Argentine will sup
ply during those coming months 90
per cent Of Latin Americas food
exports. This includes provision for
needs of food-importing neighbors,
thus relieving the drain upon the
United States and Canada. All in
all, the results of Mr. Hoover's mis-
sion are as notable as they are con-
structively hopeful.
