This Changing World
Bv Constantine Brown

The belief among most of the Ameri-
can people that the end of hostilities on
the battlefields of Europe and Asia
means that we have actually entered a
period of peace is responsible for the
hesitation of members of Congress to
deal literally with the vital matter of
continuing the Selective Service Act,
without strings, for another year.
Although in recent weeks there has
been greater concern in the public
mind over the darkening of the political
horizon all over the world, there still is
a lack OF realization that these clouds
may eventually affect this country.
There was similar way of thinking
throughout the years which preceded
the Second World War. The mild in
terest In what was going on across the
seas and the prevailing optimism that
Hitler and Mussolini were blufiing" was
due to the desire of the rank and file of
Americans to run away from bad news
and stark realities
This was bolstered by statements from
responsible persons such as the late
Senator Borah, who proclaimed that his
own sources of information were better
than those of the State Department,
and emphatic official declarations that
American boys would not cross the ocean
to fight another foreign war.
The feeling of those who are opposing
the continuation of the draft as some
thing useless and jingoistic is being
abetted by statements such as our Chief
OF Staff, Gen. Eisenhower, made recently
In Chicago when he denounced those
who are talking about the dangers of
another armed clash as mot only foolish
but vicious
There Is no question that If another
conflict occurs it will not be initiated or
encouraged by this country, where our
political leaders have made every con-
celvable effort to transform the Allied
military victory into real and lasting
peace
But while we are hesitating on whether
or not youngsters of Is or 10 should be
drafted and hope that the minimum
quota for the Army and the air force
Will be filled by voluntary enlistments,
military preparations are going full
speed ahead In the Russian dominated
areas Of Europe. The old saying that
II you want peace prepare for war" is
being adopted with vengeance. Dev-
astated and starving countries, such as
Yugoslavia and Poland, have, in fact,
stronger armies than the United States.
Gen. Eisenhower has under his con-
troll at this time about 400 900 men in
all branches of the ground and air serv-
ices. The force is dispersed over three
continents-America, Europe and Asia.
It Is doubtful if he could muster $50, 900
men in complete and homogeneous divi-
sions in any of these sections Of the
world.
The Yugoslavs have about 600 900 men
concentrated within their boundaries
Evening star., 1946-06-05

and the Poles are organizing a fully
equipped and well-trained army of 50O,-
600 men.
AS in the heyday of Hitler and
Goering, tanks machine guns and other
military paraphernalia have definite
priority over bread, butter, shoes and
clothing.
This feverish rearmament of the pup
pet forces which are supposed to bolster
up the 100000 Red Army troops at
present under arms is done in the sacred
name of maintenance of peace and
security" as Poland's Marshal Zymiersky
declared in statement issued on June
after his return from important staff
conversations in Moscow.
The Polish commander in chief out
lined the program for the coming year
and announced proudly that the U. S.
S. r. had assumed the full RESPONSE
bility of providing the new Polish armies
with the wherewithal to make them
into an imposing modern force THE
supreme command of the Red Army"
Zymiersky said. has decided to put
everything that is best and latest in
Army, including the most recent in
which are a revelation
some time in Yugoslavia where Mar
shall Titos troops have been equipped
exclusively with Russian manufactured
war material. While American lease
lend clothing and shoes still are being
distributed to the armed forces Of these
satellites from the stockpile left from
the war, the Soviet high command is
careful not to permit these forces to
have other war tools than Russian
This is done for a strong political
reason. The Russians look far into the
future and are aware of the possibility
of something happening" to their
puppet governments. Should the ma
tional armies of the satellites rebel
they would soon be out of ammunition
and could get no support from the
western democracies which Moscow sus-
poets would be ready to assist in such
an eventuality. The caliber of the So
iet-manufactured rifles. artillery pieces
and machine guns is different from the
pattern manufactured in the west.
No one can say what the future has
in store. It may be that the heavy
military preparedness We are Witness
ing in Eastern Europe is only bluff; !;
it may be the offspring of suspicion on
the part of Moscow. But the saying
that you can do anything with bayo-
nets except sit on them" is as true
today as it was in the days of Talley-
rand 140 years ago. Nations which re-
fuse to be militarily prepared in such
uncertainties as we are witnessing to-
day invite aggression. This has been
proved time and time again down
through the ages.

Two Beers
Bv David Laurence

From the Emporia Gazette.
A recent broadcast of "One Mans
Family" marked the golden wedding an
niversary of the radio characters, Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Barber" This occa-
sion might be made the subject for
thought of young couples who marry
on slight acquaintance, and who prob
ably never consider what life may be
SO years hence, or in the interim. En-
stead, the idea of many of them seems
to be, If don't like married life, it's
easy to get divorce"-which never will
lead to a golden wedding, for mutual
forbearance is the watchword by which
married couples should be governed. Ali
OF which recalls the old story of the
father, giving advice to his son and his
bride. that in married life always there
should be two bears in the home-bear
and forbear.

important first step in the projected
international program to safeguard
and enlarge human rights around
the world. Such an agency, of
course, will not be able to do away
with Iron curtains" overnight, but
it can make gradual and substantial
progress to that end, and to the
degree that it does, it will be waging
effective war against discrimination
and thus helping the cause of
minorities who might otherwise
remain victims of injustice in the
impenetnable dark that walls of
secrecy can create between nation
and nation.

Letters to The Star
Says President Does Not Swear
To Execute the Laws

DAYS ICSlOSHl AOCS 1<Ol oWcdr
To Execute the Laws
To the Editor of The Star:
In The Star for Monday, June 8,
David Lawrence, referring to a CONVEX
sation on the railroad strike, wants to
know: "Why the President disregarded
his constitutional oath to execute faith
fully the laws of the United States"
The President has done no such thing.
Mr.. Lawrence is laboring under a mis-
apprehension which is quite common in
this country. 1t has found its way even
into textbooks. Roscoe L. Ashley, author
OF "The American Federal State, Text
book in Civics for High Schools and
Colleges" says on Page 293 of the
book: THE oath which the President
takes upon entering ONCE lays upon him
the duty Of seeing that the laws are
faithfully executed"
The truth is that the Constitution
lays no such duty upon the President.
According to the Constitution (Article
II, Section l, paragraph y the Presi-
dent Is to take the following oath or
affirmation: Il do solemnly swear Cor
afiirm) that I will faithfully execute
the ofice of President of the United
States, and will to the best of my ability,
preserve. protect and defend the Consti-
tuition of the United States"
The President does not swear ito
execute the laws of the United States"
The Constitution binds him only to
execute such laws as he considers con-
stitutional. If he refuses to execute a
specific act of Congress- he cannot be
penalized. He may even refuse to execute
law signed by himself-for with his
signature he approves the law in his
legislative capacity and may reject it
later in his executive capacity.
The Founding Fathers wanted to
have strong President and not a mere
executor Of the will of Congress. Hence
they made him to q large extent the
judge of his own authority.

tected by the bill, and there is ample
provision for making any adjust

may dictate. All things considered,
the measure appears too meritorious
on its face to run into any real
trouble in the House.

Another Mother Sneaks Ont

Another Mother Speaks Out
To the Editor of The Star:
May express my thanks and approval
for the letter signed Mother?
We need more mothers like her. I
agree with her, if we had more decent
movies we would have less juvenile
delinquency.
think these lurid and sexy shows
are responsible for half of the unwed
mothers.
Why can't we have clean, inspiring
pictures, such as "Our Vines Have Ten
der Grapes" or The Bells of st. Mary's"?
Our America indeed has been blessed,
and we owe it to the youth of our land

The New Haircut Price
To the Editor Of The Star:
Your editorial on the intolerable hair
cut situation was more prophetic than
humorous. Within few years the price
of haircuts has almost trebled and the
present rise amounts to nothing less
than extortion. The Sherman Anti
Trust Act prevents such conspiracy to
fix prices In most businesses, and this
profiteering calls for such action. While
Congress is busy amending the OPA bill,
one more clause establishing reasonable
price ceilings on haircuts would be a
public service of the first magnitude.

STUART BOYER.
To the Editor Of The Star:
If butter were 81 pound, streetcar
fare 20 cents and cigarettes Is cents q
pack, I could understand 81 haircuts.

tonians make June Don't Get Hair

No Intimidation of Government
To the Editor of The Star:
In connection with Government en-
ployes, there are at least two things
that should never be allowed to happen:
(a) Strikes and (b) afiliation with any
outside union.
If one does not want to work for the
Government at the wage or salary pro-
vided by law, it is his privilege to resign,
as an individual, and not to conspire in
any threatening way.
If there are any Government employe
unions that now affiliate with any out
side union, that connection ought to be
severed at once to prevent sympathetic
Cooperation.
The military spectacle in Germany,
virtually strike, was national dis
grace and there ought to have been
some shooting as result. This type Of
rebellion against the Government should
not be tolerated for q moment on the
part Of either the military or the civilian
end thereof. OF course, the Government
should endeavor to provide living wages
and salaries, but, still, its action should
not be forced by any intimidating
methods. GEORGE w. WILLIAMS.

Right To Strike Back

To the Editor OF The Star:
If.it is going to be the accepted law
of the land that any one has right
TO strike against the public any time
for anything, then it is equally true
back against any one, any time and
anywhere.
There have been too many strikes
The public is absolutely fed up with
them. But from now until November
things are going to be different. The
worm Is beginning to turn. have

Indorses Trimble's Resolution
To the Editor of The Star:
June headed, Mr.. Trimble and To-
morrow"
AS it noted, Mr.. Trimble Is the Con-
gresham from Arkansas who has in
troduced in Congress bill to so amend
the Constitution as to take care of the
situation remaining after all heads OF
the Federal Government and Washing
ton shall have been destroyed by atomic
bombs in the next war.
Mr.. Trimble's proposed amendment
will put choosing the President, Vice
President, judicial officials and the loca :
ton of another Capital site under the
jurisdiction of the Army and the Navy.
Like The Star. think the Congress
mans position well taken, for this
apocalyptic possibility; though I would
insist on his amendment specifically
inhibiting the ARMY and Navy from
locating new Capital City within
another humid area.
