It Still Stands
(Washingtcn Star)

In their first reaction to the sweeping Republican Congressional victory, some observers abroad have expressed the fear that the foreign policy of the United States may now undergo a drastic change This fear is based in no small measure the fact that when the Democrats lest the Senate in 1913 isolationism came to replace President Wilson's pro- gram for international collaboration But the situation today is entirely different from what 1t was then and to identify the two in terms Of Americas relations with the rest of the world is to be mistaken in the extreme
 To begin with the overwhelming majority Of the American people convinced beyond changing that they must cooperate fully in the great family of nations This holds true for Republicans quite as much as for Democrats In 1918 the idea of world organization was still abstraction, and we turned away from it. Today, however it is not an absraotion it is a lively reality, called into being under CUT leadership and functoning in our own land an organization to which have unquaifedy com mitted ourselves by an almost unanimous vote '- Congress
 Tins fact alone-the fact that the Uniteo Nations is already in action with America leaolng mem her-should be enough to reassure governments and peoples abroad that the post19l8 story Is not going to be repeated. But greater guarantee is the fact that role in the U. N and our overall ap- preach to world affairs are the direct result of the finest display of bipartisan cooperation ever seen III this country. Unlike President Wilson, Presiden1 Roosevelt wisely provided for twoparty participation in the shaping of foreign policy long before the new international organization was founded at San Francsco-an arrangement that President Truman has carried cut to the full For their part, key Re publicans have offered splendid collaboration-Gov- Dewey for one former Senator Austin cur chie delegate to the U. N, for another; but nest of all Senator Vandenberg, whose profoundly important trbution will have lasting place in our history.
 All things considered, therefore, November elec- ton returns-though they may mean revised imple- menting methods that will bear watching-shoud not be read abroad presaging a change in our basic forecn policy That poicy-Which may be Summar- izad as seeking just and enduring through the fullest possible international cooperationis neither Democratic a Republican policy. It is strictly an American policy, policy lifted far above faction At this uncture the leaders of two great parties may find it wise to join in reaffiImation of this point But whether they do not, the world at large net less than country has good reason not to doubt it.

lSHN L. LEWIS FIRES 'EM

Ee.e is how John L. Lewis deals with his cwn employees when they don't tee the line.
 Last week a representative of the United Mine Workers walked into the c4fice of Thomas G. Evans, re- gional director of UMW's District 50 in Knoxville, Tenn, and hand cd him a letter. Evans, for ten years employed by the miners, op- ened the letter. One glance told rin what it was
 He was fired. In 13 months Ev- ans had doubled the dues-paying members oI John Lewis's District 50 in the State of Tennessee and neighbcring parts of Kentucky, Vir- ginia, and North Carolina. But he didn't agree with the big boss of the miners on various policies including the strike, and overnight found himself out of a job.

It locks as if the shipping strike is finally over at least for a few weeks Whether or not the notice served recently by the longshoremen, to the effect they will review" their wages again on January l, will reopen the whole mess lemaAls to pa --u. 1t is likely
 To Territorial Senator Norman R. Walker of Ketchkan goes good deal Of credit for bringing the strike to an end While he did not represent the Territory officially he has in earlier strikes, he was sent to Seattle by the Ketchikan Chamber ot Commerce and was able to accomplish great deal to bring about a settlement. The Ketchikan Senator also has some ideas fer legislation to help straghten out the shipping tange and prevent future difficulties
 Mearu .e as everyone feared, the end of the strike comes too late to help Alaskan merchants flr Christmas since all merchandise win arrive too late
 We hope that with the resumption of shipping, Alaskans do lose sight of the importance of pressing for Congressional legislation, or other remedies that would prevent such disastrous recurrence Alaska has suffered damage beyond repair. And 1t will happen again unless something is done to prevent it.

July l, 1944. and flunked out in June, l946. The official record says: Discharged because of deficiencies Tn study"
 Tn other words. Young Reed did mt have the proper educational qualifications to enter West Point in the first place, and probably wouldn't have got in had it not been TOT the $3,500 his father paid senator Bilbo. In other words al- 90, the taxpayers wasted mini mum Of s10,000 sending young Reed to West Point for two years-a total loss.
 Finally, there is the fact that young Reed got into the coveted Military Academy in 1914 while the war was still on. and anyone entering at that time was certain not to face combat until the war was over.
 Note-The Kilgore Committee al- so has heen probing alleged Bilbo sales of appointments to Annapolis, including a reported payment of $500 by Leon R. Bramlett of Clarksdsle, Miss, to get his son into the Naval Academy and of S1,5oc from Andrew Carr, also of ClaI-sdale, fer the same purpose. Both boys are at Annapolis now.

nothing more to go on than the half baked compilation of gossip and rumor submitted by the self inflated Committee Investigator, George Meader, after flying three weeks trip to Qermanv"
 However, the New York World Telegram. leading member of the news chain, censored one import ant part of the Scripps-H Howard editorial Other papers in the Scripps chain carried this signifi- cant line.
 Which indicates that some Re- publican Senators haven't yet re- alized that when they won the election they acquired an obliga- tion to show some sense of respon- sibility for the conduct of our Gov einmsnt's affairs"

But there f. another nTtrene. Memberships could be made so cheap that the privileges they carry would be held lightly. When for some the levy is as small 5000 year. that question is definitely presented
 It is not, Senator Vandenberg told the budgetary committee of the General Assembly, that the United States cannot meet the 4089 per cent of the bill assigned to it under the rather vague formula of capacity to pay employed by the experts assigned to apportion expenses Americans would consider the $
 869835, which that percentage represents ccmpa,a- lively small sum to gamble annually on the chance that the United Nations can succeed. They know however that willingness to shoulder the major load may have unhappy consequences There are these wh- remember how quickly in some quarters after World War I good old Uncle Sam became Uncle Shylock And already since the most recent fighting stopped, they have heard their willingness to lift burdens from some of their less fortunate neghbors attacked as dollar imperialism It will not help the United Nations in this country or anywhere else to cast the United States in role where it's motives thus be attacked

Later this week, the Senate Xiii gore Committee begins it's probe of the ramified and variegated war contract activities of Mississippis raucous Senator Theodore Bilbo. This investigation is separate from the Senate Election Committee probe of Bilbo's terroristic cam paign against Negroes.
 Last October this column report ed extensively on Little Theo- dore's' dream lake and dream is land, dredged out for him by war contractors Michael Morrissy and B. L. Knost, who got Army jobs building Keesler. Field and Key Field for several million dollars. On the island in the lake, the two contractors also built Little Teddy" a house and then bought him S1000 Of furniture to go in the house, plus a Sl,912 Cadillac car in which to enjoy himself driving al ound the lake.
 On top cf this Morrissy and kncst also contributed Sl,000 each to the Juniper Grove Baptist Church." a device by which Bilbo collected around $l8,000 tax-free supposedly for a parsonage. How ever, aside from a measly $l50 giv- en to the parson, the church nev- CT got the money. The parsonage was erected on Bilbos land, not the church's, and the money stayed in Bilho's bank account.
 All of the above leads into an- other nice new chapter in the war scandals of the Senator from Mis- sissippi, who was just as good at rocking churches as he was in- spring the beating of helpless Ne groes
 One of the men who contributed cash to the Juniper Grove Bap- tist Church Special Fund was Maurice T. Reed of Belsonia, Miss, who, through Bilbos assistance, got an army contract Tor the Jackson, Miss, Air Base at cost of $1,- 459,7l0.
