houses of Congress. His plea was that
the measure had been hastily thrown
together and hastily considered. To
Judge from his language, the man in
the street might believe that the provi-
sions Of the bill had been dropped sud-
denly from the moon or the stars. In
stead, these provisions have been given
study over long period.
But the attitude of the Roosevelt and
Truman administrations - particularly
OF the former-had made it impossible
to get such legislation out of the Senate
Labor or Judiciary Committees. The
House on several occasions passed bills
carrying some of this legislation, only
to have 1t put to sleep in the Senate by
committees or committee chairman con-
trolled by the administration, whose
motto was anything and everything for
the labor vote" That motto has not
been changed.
Until labor laws have been changed
to make unions more responsible, espe-
cially to the public interest, there seems
no possibility Of industrial peace. At
one period industry and management
ran hog-wild In this country They re-
sisted the enactment Of laws to curb
them. Such laws were necessary and
were put through. Those laws did not
put an end to industry or to its great
advancement in the United States.
Labor Is in the same lawless condition
as management once was-except that
the laws are written actually to prevent
even the use of the courts to check
abuses.
There is no reason that proper legal
limitations, placed upon labor unions
and their leaders, should prevent the
growth Of unions or halt their effective
ness for good. The Case bill, which
might have become law, contained nee
essary provisions. It hit at racketeerine
by unions and their leaders-such as the
hold-up Of farmers who wish to drive
their produce into New York. 1t struck
at the so-called secondary boycotts, and
1t placed responsibility on unions to live
up to contracts entered into by collec-
tive bargaining. It provided better ma
chinery for the adjustment of labor
disputes. All Of these were struck down
by the veto.
The Democratic administration is
convinced that there is one more victory
at the polls In playing the CLOS game.
The Republican administration in 1882
was convinced there was one more VIC
tory in national prohibition. It was

nor can 1t. Cubage be tried again for
the same offense. The only corrective
action possible is suitable comment by
the reviewing authority on the sentence,
to be published in the usual manner; :
this will be helpful if it indicates that
the commanding general of the United
States forces in Germany does not con-
cur IN the outcome of the trial.
But 1t will be difficult by such means
to remove the exceedingly unfortunate
impression that will be produced on the
minds OF the American people by the
fact that an enlisted man gets three
years Imprisonment and dishonorable
discharge for the commission of certain
offenses which he has been ordered or
authorized. to commit by his superior
Officers, and that for so ordering him,
or authorizing him, one Of those superior
officers has suffered no worse punish
ment than . nominal fine and a mild
reprimand.
There is, under the circumstances, no
possible course for the War Department
to take except to stop trying to soft
pedal the Lchdeld brutalities, to stop,
indeed, the "chip-on- shoulder" attitude
which Secretary Of War Patterson, in
particular, has taken toward all criti-
cism Of Army justice, and to set on foot
Immediately full-scale investigation Of
the whole wartime conduct Of Army
prisons and detention centers-not only
at Lichfield but throughout the Army.

of the Congress seems clear-a con-
gressional investigation Is called for,
with sweeping terms of reference, to
get to the bottom Of the whole business
and find out just what went on In
such places rs Lichfield, and in every
other Army installation where Ameri-
can soldiers were confined while await

This Changing World
By CoHsfaSfiSs Broirn

there are now 650,000 such men In the
area of Gleivitz In Southern Prussia and
Rostock, . port on the Baltic Sea.
The Soviet aviation is said to number
$4,000 planes, of which II 900 are ready
for action. OF this number 5000 up-to-
date machines are In the Soviet-occupied
zone in Germany.
In Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania
the Russian high command also has sac
rificed numbers for quality. In Hungary,
where the Red Army at one time kept
about 100000 men, there ARE barely 30O,-
600. But they also represent homog-
eneous, well-disciplined and excellently
equipped group. Similar conditions exist
in Bulgaria. Only in Romania does the
Russian high command still maintain
second line troops consisting principally
Of tired out veterans.
The Yugoslav Army on the whole Is
still green and accustomed to guerrilla
warfare. But much progress is reported
to have been achieved In modern train
ing The best Of the Russian general staff
officers are with Marshal Tito's forces,
which are being put through the PAGES
to make that army-estimated at be-
tween 250OOO and 400 900 men-a COM
petent auxiliary of the Red units.
The Polish Army is estimated to be
about the same size as the one in Yugo-
slavia The same methods of training
exist there. Its value, however, is ques-
tionable since the great majority of the
Polish soldiers are still intensely nation
alistic and are considered unreliable as
first line troops by the Russian high COM
mand.
Foreign Minister Molotov regards this
military force, far superior to the COM
bined British American and French
forces in Europe, as his best trump card
In his dealings with the western powers.
Neither Mr. Byrnes nor Mr.. Bevin
thinks that the U. s. s. r. would wish to
60 50 far as to employ her powerful
military machine to enforce Russia's
political and territorial ambitions. They
believe that Moscow Is well aware OF the
ANAL consequences of such an "unthink-
able" action Nevertheless. the Foreign
Ministers of the United States and Great
Britain are constantly reminded that
Russian and satellite troops could march
in and take over within few days what
ever is refused them at the peace table.

Spanish OmeIet

Scrambled" is the best word to
express the present status of the
contentious Spanish issue before the
United Nations. Indeed. the scram-
bling process began at the very start
when DR.. LANCE, the Polish delegate
on the Security Council, made his
original charge that Franco Spain
represents threat to world peace
and that the Council should imme-
dlately call upon all members of
U. N. to sever diplomatic relations
with the Franco regime.
In this DR.. LANCE, of course, had
the emphatic backing of Soviet Rus
STA. The other members of the
Council, however. demurred, and q
subcommittee was set up to investi-
gate. That body brought in a report
that Franco Spain was not an i'm
mediate threat to world peace but
that it might contingently become
so. Hence the recommendation
that. If the Franco regime were still
In power by September l, the Council
recommend to the General Assembly
that 1t adopt a resolution calling
upon all members of U. N. to sever
diplomatic relations.
This preliminary report encoun-
tered opposition from several quar-
tiers. MIR. Gromyko demanded instant
action by the Council, while other
delegates criticized the report as
uncalled for by the facts or as con-
f1icting with Charter clauses con-
corning interference in the internal
affairs Of nations. Thereupon the
subcommittee resumed its sessions
and has now come back with
another report. modifying it's rec
ommendation to give the General
Assembly the chance to take alter
natively such other action" as 1t
deems appropriate and effective
under the circumstances prevailing
at that time" When this report was
announced, Mr.. Gromyko baked

government would not approve any

recommendation Incidentally, while

Negro College Fund

10 some persons, education is q
luxury OF a sort which they can
take or leave without much thought.
But to the generality of Americans
OF African descent the privilege of
adequate schooling is an imperative
necessity. Booker T. Washington
was one of the great Negro leaders
to recognize that fact. When his
portrait in bronze was unveiled in
the Hall Of Fame at New York Uni
versity a few days ago, the partici-
pants in the ceremony very properly
stressed his profound belief in the
cultivation Of the powers of the
human mind as q means for the
solution OF the major problems of
the age.
1t is true, as DR.. Washington real
lied, that many of the difficulties
which create dissension between
groups OF different origins are cul-
tural divergences. These variations
disappear when people are influ-
enced by identic philosophers, similar
customs, like habits of behavior.
But the basic element in such cor
rection is that of providing a COM
mon background of training. In
dividuals do not learn to think in
any pattern automatically. They
must be taught. And that is the
reason why the United Negro College
Fund should be supported gener-
ously by the whole public. It
represents the cooperative appeal
of thirty-three accredited institu-
tons OF learning with total student
body Of twenty-five thousand. Negro
war veterans Of approximately the
same number are applicants for adj
mission to classrooms. Obviously,
the need for more space, more in
structors, more money to meet op-
Grating budget demands is compel
ling. The alternative would be

The American, British and French
Foreign Ministers gathered ut Paris are
fully aware that the future Of the world
depends on the success or failure Of the
conference. II they can persuade the
Soviet government to act with reason
and in . spirit Of corporation, the world
will be assured of lengthy era of peace
in which all countries will have chance
to recover. But II Foreign Minister
Molotov, on orders from the Kremlin,
remains adamant, no one knows what
viii happen in the near future.
The plan of the western democracies
to proceed with the signing OF peace
treaties in September when all the in
terested nations will be summoned to a
regular peace conference in New York
is spectacular, but not likely to bring
actual peace, If Russia and the nations
under her control refused to attend such
. conference.
Secretary Of State Byrnes and. in all
likelihood, Foreign Secretary Bevin, will
do their utmost to prevent break in
Paris. They will 60 long way to recon-
cile the western and eastern points of
view and will make any reasonable con-
cession to Russia to achieve 4 unity
among the Big -Four.
But they are in no mood to have
peace dictated by the great powers. The
dictates of the three strongest military
nations were acceptable and even neces-
sary while the fighting was going on
But they smack Of dictatorship in the
formulation of peace agreements.
\
The Russian attitude Is the great
question mark. Mr.. Molotov continues
to smile automatically. Whenever he
appears to make even . slight conces-
sion, he expects the Allies to return it
tenfold. Although conditions in Russia
are reported to be bad rs regards post
war recovery, the Soviet Foreign Min
lister holds in his hand . trump card
which he considers unbeatable: The
powerful Red Army, which remains con-
centrated throughout Eastern Europe.
The Red forces in Germany have
been reduced in number, but strength
ened in quality. The old. tired out and
undisciplined veterans who fought from
Stalingrad to Berlin have been rede-
ployed and replaced by the cream Of the
Red ARMY homogeneous force inten-
sively trained during the last two years

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

The labor forces with the backing of
the Truman administration, have ef-
fectually postponed any permanent re-
medal labor legislation until after the
November elections, and probably until
next year. The Presidents veto of the
Case bill was made to stick by the mar
rowest kind Of margin in the House. It
was, however, victory for the C1O and
the AFL.
The coming congressional elections,
however, provide a real test for the
boosted power of the CIO and its PAC.
elimination Of all members Of Congress
who voted for the Case bill. Consider
ing the fact that the Case bill passed
the House by more than q two-thirds
vote. and the Senate just short Of two
thirds vote. the task which the Go set
itself Is impossible.
Indeed. the unpopularity which Or
ganized labor drew to itself because of
the railroad strike, plus the unrest in
the country because peacetime produc-
ton has been held up and delayed for
months by other major labor strikes,
are likely to give members of Congress
who desire remedial labor legislation an
advantage ut the polls next November.
The presidential veto was q political
sellout to the Go. One thing organ
lied labor has resisted and continues to
resist is any change In the present stu
alton which puts unions virtually be-
yond the law in many respects. Mr..
Truman laid the groundwork for q veto
Of the Case bill in his address to Con-
gress demanding temporary legislation
at the time Of the railroad strike. In
that address he proposed that Congress
attempt no permanent changes in exist
ing labor laws ut present; that q joint
congressional committee be appointed to
study the question Of labor
relations and what changes. II any, may
be necessary in the Federal laws. This
committee is to 1port in six months
. stall.
The whole play, Of course, was de-
signed to prevent any permanent legis-
lation-especially at a time when the
sentiment in Congress was obviously
favorable to the amendment Of the lop-
sided labor laws which place leaders of
organized labor In q position to tie up
American industry any time they see At.

Mr.. Hoover's Statement

There would seem to be more
than an, accidental connection be-
tween the Communist attacks on
the famine relief program which
have just been reported by Herbert
Hoover and some of the attacks
which were made on him when his
appointment as honorary chairman
of the Famine Emergency Commit
tee was announced last March.
Mr.. Hoover told press conference
in Rio de Janeiro that in most of the
thirty-SeYen countries he has visit
ed, indeed, wherever there is Com
munist press, that press without ex-
ception has sought to discredit the
famine relief work. The party line
has been varied to fit the circum-
stances in the various countries. In
Brazil, for instance, the Communists
tell the Brazilian people that Mr..
Hoover is IAN ambassador from Wall
Street come to take bread from
them" The overall pattern is clear
enough, however. Despite the fact
that millions of Communists have
been fed through the famine relief
program, that program is being as
sailed by Communists everywhere,
presumably in willingness to let
even their own adherents starve If
by so doing they can discredit the
relief work that Is being done by
the western powers.
This serves to revive interest in
some of the comment in this country
when Mr.. Hoover's appointment was
made public. The National Citizens
Political Action Committee, an arm
of the CLIO, said that there is every
reason to believe -" that Herbert
Hoover will use the selective giving
of food as weapon against demo-
cratic forces in Europe" And DON
aid Henderson, head of one of the
big CLIO unions, declared that the
appointment of Mr.. Hoover cannot
inspire anything but mistrust, not
only among our own people, but also
among the peoples abroad"
What Is the connection between
statements such as these and the
shabby campaign which the Com
munists have been carrying on? If
there is none, the country is entitled
to an explanation from the NCPAC
and Mr.. Henderson as to how it
happens that their propaganda con-
forms so precisely to the propa-
ganda of the Communists.
