The Uncommon Ludy Astor

From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Lady Nancy Astor was playing with
words rather than expressing ideas
when she said that she was tired of
hearing of "the common man" and that
Its not the common man who gets on,
it's the uncommon man"
True, "the common man" is not
very good way of saying ''the most of
US Neither is ''the man in the street"
or the public" or-perhaps the worst
of all-"the masses" But every one
knows what the expressions mean.
They mean, at rock bottom, that a
decent living must be the rule rather
than the exception. They mean that
while, of course, the uncommon man will
get on best, the common man must at
least get on. They mean that enjoyment
OF the good things of a democracy is
not to be limited to geniuses, or even
to the brilliant, but that people of
ordinary abilities are to have the op-
portunity to live, too, and to live like
men.
Lady Astor may have her view of
these sef-evident tenets of democratic
life somewhat obscured by the fact that
she is an uncommon woman, and that
Is. perhaps. the reason why she some
times, as in the present case, speaks
such uncommon nonsense.

Reports from Munchuriu

General Wedemeyer, commander
OF our American forces in China,
makes a good point in cautioning
against premature conclusions re-
garding friction in Manchuria. Cur
rent reports on the situation are
disturbing enough, however, to call
for an official Qualification at the
earliest possible moment to deter
mine just where Russia stands in
the matter. At the moment, accord
ing to the somewhat confused news
dispatches, there appears to be more
than little ground for misgivings.
Thus, the Chinese Communists
and Chungking's troops are said to
have clashed again in Manchuria
despite the truce existing between
them. simultaneously, there has
been sudden furry of reports to
the effect Cd that the Russians are
hauling away as much Manchurian
industrial equipment as they can
without bothering to consult us or
other Allied powers with an interest
in reparations; (2) that they are
being very slow about withdrawing
their forces from the country and
that they may keep them there long
after their pledged departure date,
and 90 that they are pressing the
Chang government for concessions
going far beyond the provisions of
their 30-year treaty with China and
that these concessions, if granted,
might give them economic and other
dominance wholly at variance with
our historic open door" policy in
the Far East
These and similar reports cannot
fail to create concern and suspicion
over long-term Soviet intentions in
that part of the world. Possibly
they are exaggerated, but they will
become increasingly worrisome unless
and until official facts to the con-
trary are set forth. In the cir
cumstances. the State Department
has acted wisely in sending notes to
Chungking and Moscow requesting
specific information on the situation.
The replies, If any, will be awaited
with UNDERSTANDABLE keen interest
In this country.

Having just returned from the West
Coast, former Secretary of the Interior
Ickes' reference to the cloud no bigger
than mans hand" seems a gross un-
reinstatement. The cloud is as big as all
get out. The proposition to make Edwin
w. Pauley Assistant Secretary of the
Navy and by implication and circum-
stance Secretary Designate-in a posi-
ton, therefore, to exercise vast influence
on world affairs-is something that.
whether or not 1t Is adequately noted
and opposed at home, Is already being
noted abroad. in Asia, the Middle East,
and the Soviet Union.
The system of private enterprise" is
already in precarious position in the
world. Never was there a greater need
for political, social. and economic states
manship among its supporters. To as
sociate it now with system of private
graft reminds one of the ancient PROV
erb, Whom the Gods would destroy
they first make mad" If Mr.. Pauleys
nomination is ratified, we shall hear
repercussions from it throughout the
globe. 1t will prejudice our case in
Iran and the Middle East; it will support
every foreign attack on the American
international position.
X
Mr.. Pauley's record in California is
well known, and apart from congress
sional investigations there are plenty of
members of the Democratic State Com
mittee who are willing to spill the
beans-and they are not all New Deal
ers, either.
Mr.. Pauleys qualifications for so i'm
portant an office are a smattering of
economics, few years of success in
California Legislature. He began by rep
resenting independent oil companies and
rose to represent the major ones. He
began in debt and ended rich. He
climbed into national politics, went to
Europe to handle international economic
situations in which American oil COM
panies have great stakes, and returned
to become one Of the big three around
President Truman. That he has ability
is shown in his record-just the kind
Of ability we don't need; there is no
evidence at all of comprehension of
those matters vital to America and all
humanity in a world of poverty and
the struggle of nations and classes for

not been passed than because of any
thing he has done.
Consider, for example, what would
have happened If Mr. Truman's original
full-employment bill had passed He
would have been required to produce q
national budget of predictions for the
current year, almost every element Of
which would have been knocked sky
high, not only by the strikes, but by
his present wage-price measures. He
would have had Congress enact unem-
ployment benefits for period of little
unemployment. Every prediction he
would have made would have lived to
mock him. His national budget would
have been comedy Of errors.
\ \
Moreover, it should not be forgotten
that recent strikes have not really been
against employers. They have been
against the OPA. And at long last,
Government has retreated, after many
brave words last year about holding the
line.
If, as seems likely, this relief means
some months, perhaps a year, of rela-
tive industrial peace, Congress and Mr..
Truman should use the time to provide
'iie io"o oAo AaSAAic1J "iuCA VIII pre-
vent such misfortune from coming again.
The Case Bill, now buried in the Senate,
might well be the basis OF some really
important consideration of permanent

future emergencies Here is one way by
which ME- Truman could stop his loss
in public favor.
Luck has helped him so far, but luck
Is no substitute for statesmanship.

On the Record
By Dorothy Thombson

NOmpSUU
MIR. Pauley took the Democratic partv
out OF debt-for a price. The New Deal
In California was supported by the radt-
Gals, but financed by the interests
counting on the possibility that Mr..
Pauley's man for vice president would
be in the White House before 1948
Sure enough America lost Mr.. Roose
velt, and Mr.. Pauley had, on the ma
tional scale, the chance he had ex-
plotted in California.
The analogy between California tide
lands oil and Mr.. Pauley, and Sinclair
on and Teapot Dome is exact. Mr..
Pauley has the California legislature
IN his pocket. If the tidelands belong to
the State, he and his bosses will control
them.
The issue transcends liberalism" The
crowd around Mr.. Pauley is liberal when
liberalism means votes and liberal on all
matters except its own interests, these
being Oil. Far better an honest conser-
Vative than liberal in the pockets of
predatory interests. The interests Mr..
Pauley represents would like to control
the oil of the world, not only the tide

retary Of the Navy with Mr. Pauley's
record will be regarded with more sus-
picion and distrust than the atomic
bomb, and any move made by our Navy
will be regarded, not as an action of the
United States, but as an oil action. A
friend Of mine who met the Soviet Am
bassador, Mr.. Gromyko, at the San Fran
cisco Conference, found that he knew
much more about Mr. Pauley than the
average American does
The Soviet theory about the 'bour-
geois' state Is that it is always an instru-
ment OF predatory capitalist interests,
never OF the people, and that such states
are the cause of wars for loot. This was
a theme of Mr.. Molotov's address on
November s, l945, and of Stains on Feb
ruary 9, ls46 Mr.. Pauley's confirmation
vsuld lend evidence to this thesis, and
go far to destroying morale among our
people and armed forces.
AS for Mr.. Truman-his association
with the Pendergast gang was explained
on the argument, probably true that he
was an honest man among thieves. That
Is not good enough description of the

luctant to bring to light any espionage
matter because the State Department
regarded such action as interfering with
our good relations with Russia.
For more than two years the various
security services, and particularly the
FBI, have suspected important "leaks"
of top secrets of military and diplo-
matte character to q foreign power.
Last year the FBI, after months of
investigation, thought 1t had an air
tight case against several American
citizens, including John 8. Service, an
official Of the State Department; 1t.
Andrew Roth Of the United States Naval
Reserve and Philip j. Jaf1e, publisher Of
the magazine Amerasia.
The FBI, mindful of the possible in
ternational repercussions resulting from
a public trial, is said to have presented
the entire evidence to the White House.
According to reports from responsible
quarters, 1t was told to go head" and
make the necessary arrests once 1t re-
solved itself into a matter concerning
only America.
The evidence presented by Justice De-
partment attorneys before a grand jury
was such that the jury refused to in
dict Mr.. Service. who subsequently was
reinstated and later promoted to politi-
cal adviser to Gen. Macarthur.
The case against Mr.. Jaffe was dis
posed Of by fine of $2,5O0, while the
case against 1t. Roth was "nolle pressed"
last Friday because of insufficient evil
dence."
Prime Minister w. L. Mackenzie King
was so disturbed by the reports of the
Canadian intelligence services in their
spy ring investigations that he is said
to have quietly come to Washington
about 10 days before Prime Minister
Attlee's visit last fall, although the
White House press secretary said he had
no knowledge Of such a visit. The Ca
madam leader Is reported to have told
President Truman Of his grave concern
over espionage activities of the hired
agents OF one Of our major allies.
He also brought the matter to the
attention Of the British cabinet In order
to acquaint Foreign Secretary Beyin
with the situation and obtain his reac-
ton on whether or not public disclosure
on this delicate matter would strain the
relations between the British Empire
and Russia.
According to dispatches from Canada,
1t appears that Mr.. Bevin, like MI. King
considered this to be a security and
police matter

journalism School in Chino

DR.. Carl w. Ackerman, dean of
the Graduate School of Journalism
at Columbia University, has released
for publication his report on the
Chinese st-Graduate School of
Journalism. This means that for
the first time, free from censorship
and from all policy considerations,
the public at large may know about
one OF the most notably interesting
developments in international news
paperdom in recent years. 1t was
brought into being by World War II,
but its origins lay much further
back-in the China of antiquity out
OF which the China Of tomorrow
gradually is emerging.
Madam Chang Kai-shek was a
sponsor of the enterprise. The in
auguration of it was managed by
DR.. Hollington X. Tong, her press
relations chief in the United States
in 1912 and 1943. Dean Alderman
drew up the formal plans on March
1S In the latter year. 1t was set
forth in the outline of the project
that the new school would attempt
ito prepare Chinese journalists for
services to the government in Chinese
Embassies and Legations throughout
the world, to the ministers of state,
the commanding generals, and to
establish, publish and edit daily
newspapers in the provinces" The
purpose thus described received the
approval of the Department of State.
Four American newspapermen, all
graduates of Columbia, were re-
cruited as teachers. After a tedious
voyage across the Pacific and
through India and over the Hump,
they reached Chungking ready for
work when the first term opened on
October IL, 1943. Two additional
instructors Joined the faculty at the
start of the second session.
The number OF pupils "processed"
was f1fty-seven-forty-six men and
CACFCA "Ol1ACA. oCAolC Cilc SCllUOl
was indefinitely suspended" when
the japanese surrendered, these
young people had been provided with
a good, practical foundation for pro-
fessional careers in journalism.
They had been taught the latest
American patterns and methods in
news reporting, writing and editing,
in radio broadcasting, editorial and
feature writing, newspaper law,
public relations, the use of illustra-
tions in newspapers, the history of
journalism and the growth of the
free press in the English language
nations of the globe.
It indubitably is part of the story of
the school that the student body and
their instructors labored under con-
ditions of "unimaginable" - severity
and hardship as compared to those
in the United States" Cruel
cold in winter and blistering heat
in summer were but minor difficult
ties. Overcrowding, vermin, epidemic
disease, poverty and certain political
obstructions made the maintenance
OF the enterprise challenge to the
heroism OF its personnel. The net
result Of all the effort is what DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler considers "a
