1t is apparent that the new conserva-
tive parties-conservative, that is to say
relative to the others, the Christian
Democrats in Italy and the MRP in
France-have far more of the liberal
spirit In them than the Communists.
That is what has won them such gains.
For although Europeans may want
greater economic equality; although
they may repudiate past bourgeois"
standards; although they may believe
that the basic resources of the nation
should be used for the general welfare
and not for private profit, nevertheless
they are not willing to throw into the
ash can the achievements of previous
revolutions which brought the individ-
ual person protection against arbitrary
arrest and gave him written and nom
retroactive law, intellectual freedom,
the separation OF or contract between
church and state, leaving religion pro-
tected; the right, that is to say. of rem
dering unto the state the things that are
the states. but to reserve definite
things that are not the states.

Dark Outlook

1t Is dlmcult to take anything but
a dark view of what is likely to hap
pen when the Paris conference of
the Big Four Foreign Ministers re-
convenes next week. Recessed in an
atmosphere of Illustration and dead
lock, the meeting seems destined to
reopen that way. too. with little
chance of its ending brightly unless
the Soviet delegation retreats sub
stantially from its previous position.
If the recess period has done any
thing at all, it has served to empha-
size how deep and grim is the divi-
sion existing between Russia on one
hand and the Western powers on the
other. The French Foreign Minister
is the only one of the four who has
had nothing to say about the meet
ing, but it is known that he thinks
pretty much the same as we and the
British do on major issues. First to
air these to q world audience was
Secretary of State Byrnes, who re-
ported, in effect, that the Soviet
Union was fighting a delaying &C
ton against peace by taking an I'M
bending, negative attitude toward
such questions as Italian repara-
lions, Trieste, the Balkan treaties,
the status of Austria. and four
power pact against Germany.
Next, in reply to Mr.. Byrnes, For
eign Minister Molotov declared that
the Paris deadlock was the result not
of Soviet intransigence but of kind
of conspiracy on the part of Britain
and the United States to work to-
gether to impose their will on Russia
for their own selfish ends. Now, fol-
lowing Mr.. Byrnes' reply to this
reply, British Foreign Secretary
Bevin has Joined bluntly and effec-
lively in the long-range debate to
make the point-and it is a very
good one-that MIR. Molotov has con-
jured up the picture of an Anglo
American bloc because he apparent
ly does not understand how our two
countries can see eye to eye on basic
matters without prearrangement
and because when you put up a
proposal he does not agree with, he
seems to imply that you are dictat-
ing" Similarly, it is one of Russia s
greatest handicaps and great OBJ
stacle to peace" that it pursues a
policy suggesting that its security
"can only be, maintained when every
country in the world has adopted the
Soviet system"
Read along with what Mr.. Byrnes
has said, Mr.. Bevin's views-togeth-
er with Prime Minister Attlee's sup
porting statements-make clear that
the British and American delega-
lions will yield on no major issue
when the Paris conference resumes.

This and That
By Charles E, TrdceUeH.

~ Sftuf tCS TUCSCGI.
Mrs. Templeton Jones keeps her eyes
open, as she goes around, and sees many
interesting things.
She was telling about couple of these
the other day.
There Is marvellous old lady who
goes to the same grocery do" said Mrs.
j. Il don't know whether you know
about the modern neighborhood grocery.
1t Is at once food store and club to hun.
dreds of women
you see everybody you know, and
make many friends over the years, all
banded together by the urge to get food
for the family.
Despite what some people say, the
American family has taken a licking in
the last year. But we won't go into that.
Il was telling you about the old lady,
wasn't I? Full of vim and vigor, pleas
ant to look at, active and pleasant, she
always wins sympathy.
She wouldn't have done this before
the war, but she sees no reason why
she shouldn't now.
There is certain chocolate mix she
likes very much. Seeing six Jars on the
shelf, she put them all in her basket
1.-THE man said to her, There is lust
one to customer The lady aroloeized
prettily and wheeled five of thin back
to the shelves. There was a method in
her politeness, though.
Carefully she concealed the ,ars be-
hind some stacks of cereal T1en she
came back, paid for her one jar Ind de-
parted.
Later in the day-tive tins-she
came back and walked Oh with lar

anything.
This way of getting them was gcord-
ing to the grocery Hoyle.
six at once was just five too m,ny.
1T Is all very absurd, if you as me.

II met this same lady at a downtown
department store.
She wanted six balls of yarn.
1.-The clerk told her that she ouId
have but four.
Now the point to keep in min is
that this dear old woman would lave

reasons of her own, she did want six.
not just four.
las far as I could see, there waslno
reason why she couldn't have had he
number she wanted, but the clerk us

that was not all. Another customer
sensing the situation, said she would
like two balls of yarn.
This made total of 10, and all were
paid for, amid smiles all around-and
all promptly turned over to the old
lady, who now had 10 balls of yarn
when she would have been satisfied with
six.
1T could be done this way, but not the
sensible way.
The whole thing makes no sense, but
1t has been introduced into America, and
can see no end to it.
1T is part of the idea Of planning
which has now planned the world into
perpetual war and amending lack and
want.
II still think the best way to live is thu
old way, to buy what you can, at price
you can afford-and if you can't afford
1t. don't buy 1t, and to leave people alone
to do their own planning. Individual
planning Is good, but planning on a biz
scale is absurd. At least that is the way
it looks to me and the ladies Of o,u

New Chief Justice

A generation which has come to
associate the Chief Justice of the
United States with the austerity of
a Charles Evans Hughes or the
rugged New Englandism of the late
Harlan Fiske Stone may be inclined
at first blush to receive word of the
selection of Fred M. Vinson as Chief
Justice with something less than
unrestrained enthusiasm.
It is hard to identify Mr.. Vinson
with the remoteness from everyday
affairs which, in the popular mind,
is a mark of the chief justiceship.
He is warm and kindly man, a
man with that gift of friendship
which is rooted in a real affection
for other people. In Judge Wilson'S
case, this is an inheritance-an
attribute with which he was born.
But it is also a trait which has been
developed and cultivated during his
active years in Kentucky politics
and in a series of posts of heavy
responsibility in the Nations Capital,
The quality is one which will be
of great value to him when he takes
over his new duties, for he moves
into the chief justiceship at time
when the Nations highest court is
afflicted with the blight of faction
aliSm. 1t is common knowledge that
the President, in his search for a
successor to the late Chief Justice
Stone, was deeply influenced by the
desire to find some one who might
be able to restore a measure Of
harmony in court so seriously torn
by dissension that the justices often
have not even attempted to conceal
their mutual antipathies. Perhaps
it is too much to expect that the
breach can be healed, but it is diff
cult to think of any one better
equipped for the undertaking than
Mr.. Vinson.
1t would be most inaccurate, how
ever, to think of the Presidents
choice merely as man gifted with
the art of getting along with people
and persuading people to get along
with each other. In five years on
the bench of the United States Court
of Appeals for the District, Mr..
Vinson demonstrated beyond ques-
ton that, in his own right, he is
judge of real capacity, the possessor
OF a fair and open mind and
temperament well suited to the
judicial life. He is also an admin
istrator of unusual ability, and since
so much Of the work of a Chief
Justice is administrative in charac-
ter, this is another asset which
should not be discounted.
Whether Judge Vinson, when he
takes his place on the bench, will
be able to realize the promise in
herent in his admirable qualifica-
tons must await the determination
of the future. But it can be said
now that the President, faced with
a difficult choice, has chosen ex-
ceedingly well. One can canvass the
list OF possible nominees from be-.
ginning to end and, in the existing
circumstances, there will not be
found on it the name of any one
better suited to assume the solemn
responsibility which now devolves
upon the competent shoulders Of a
man for whom life began fifty-six
years ago in the modest home of a
county jailer at Louisa, Kentucky.

Opposes Taxing Coal

~ uie 1oltor OF Inc Star:
The recent temporary agreement be-
tween the Federal Executive and the
soft coal miners is. to my mind, a gross
and illegal abuse OF power on the part
OF the President. It is not within the
province Of the executive branch of our
FEDERAL Government to impose taxes.
Inc provision in the agreement for a
tax OF 5 cents ton on soft coal, as it is
mined, should be rejected by the opera
tors and owners of the mines and bv
the people Of the United States, It
matters not to what use the tax r..
ceipts are to be applied.
II it is advisable to tax coal, as It is
mined, it should be done by the stats
and the proceeds administered bv the
States. JAMES EMERY BROOKS

Exit the House of Savoy

<A1ClloQSll, dG GIllo WllGlllS, SU1lS
votes still remain to be counted,
they cannot change the result of
the tally on the popular referendum
as to the choice of monarchy or re-
public. Therefore the official an
nouncement has been made that the
House of Savoy has ceased to reign,
and King Umberto II is making
ready to leave italy with his family,
presumably to follow his father, Vic
tor Emmanuel, who abdicated last
month in favor of his son. the then
Crown Prince, into exile in Egypt.
That abdication was obviously
desperate device to unload the bur-
den of unpopularity acquired by Vic
tor Emmanuel for his long complai-
sance towards Fascism and his &C
quiescence in Mussolini's rash entry
into World War II on the side of
Nazi Germany. Perhaps it might
have been better still for the mon
archist cause if Umberto had, in his
turn, promptly renounced his throne
in favor of his son, the little Prince
OF Naples, who could have perpet-
uated the throne under a prolonged
regency.
However. Umberta chose to make
the fight for the throne himself and
conducted transforming tour of
the provinces during the electoral
campaign. The strength of. mon
archist feeling came out in the vote.
Southern Italy proved to be over
whelmingly monarchist in senti-
ment, while Central Italy, with the
exception of Umbria, was likewise
monarchist with lesser majorities.
Rome, the capital, went monarchist
by a slight lead. On the contrary,
Northern Italy was almost solidly
republican, and this more populous
section of the country decided the
issue for a republic.
The nature of the vote reveals
once more the sharp difference
which has always obtained between
1taly's North and South. The urban,
industrialized and modernized North
Is so different from the agricultural,
semifeudal and backward South
that, but for a common language
and culture, they might almost be
different nations. Indeed, it is we'll
to remember that Italy achieved
national unity only in 1870 after
having been split into many indie
pendent principalities since the fall
Of Imperial Rome, more than a
thousand years before.
This sharp cleavage between North
and South on the issue of the mon
archy is somewhat lessened in sig
nif1cance by the nationwide victory
of the Christian Democratic Party.
That party, while committed to a
republic, and favoring large meas
ure of socialization, Is emphatically
Christian Socialist and strongly OPP
posed to both the theory and prac-
tice of communism. In Italy, the
Communists Jared even worse than
they did in the French elections.
This means that the forthcoming
Constituent Assembly which the
voters simultaneously chose will

At the same time, the Russians ap-

nothing. It is a potentially tragic
and ominous impasse, and unless
some surprise formula is found to
surmount it when the Foreign Min
