DR.. Adams

DR.. Joseph Quincy Adams was
an ideal administrator of the Folger
Library in its early years. He came
to the work with training and
experience of exceptional value. His
knowledge of Shakespeare was pro-
found, but he also was widely
acquainted with those writers who
were the Bard's forerunners, con-
temporaries and successors. The
whole field of Elizabethan literature
lay in his command. He was
Its master as few men ever had
been before or are apt to be again.
Further, he understood how to use
his materials constructively. His
biography of the great Stratford
poet almost certainly Is the best
done by any modern hand. 1t
brings into focus not only the facts
of the subjects life but the entire
picture Of the age to which he
belonged.
Something Of Shakespeare's love
Of beauty was part of DR.. Adams
endowment. He had much Of the
Bard's wit and humor, too. But
still more important was his kinship
with the poet in terms of human
sympathy. He possessed a wonderful
affection for people and marvellous
comprehension of their Joys and
sorrows. Visitors to his office came
away with a lasting impression OF
his gentleness and fellow-feeling.
But back of DR.. Adams generous
demeanor was a character of rare
distincticn. He put into his labors
q Scrupulous integrity. While he
was director nothing went into the
Library untested. The pattern Of
organization which he developed
for the institution sponsored ky
Henry and Emily Folger will be his
monument. He was, in effect, q
co-founder with them. The books,
the manuscripts. the relics of
Shakespeare which they accumu-
lated were q chaos when he was
called to set them in order. Later
he supplemented the Folger acquisi-
tions by systematic search and
purchase, bringing together the
most notably precious collection Of
its kind to be found anywhere on
earth.
Meanwhile, DR.. Adams continued
to justify his title as scholar. The
list OF his productions Is long as
well as significant as q contribution

and bring the greatest lobby in history
to bear on the new Congress to prevent
any change in the labor laws--except
such proposals as they believe will in
crease their power. The same forces
viii exert all the pressure they can, too,
on the white House.
This problem Of labor law amendment
is the most important which will come
before the new Congress. That body, II
it has the courage, will tackle 1t. Other
wise 1t will shilly -shally, just rs the
last few Congresses have done. II IL
takes no sctioli, it will be clear in
chc.t.sSn that the Republicans. as well
rs the Democrats. are looking to l94S
and the labor vote.
Mr.. Martin, speaking for the Repub-
licans, said that I'VE welcome an op-
portunity to work with the President in
carrying out the mandate Of the people I"
He spoke. however, In most general terms
and certainly made no mention of
labor laws. Probably the Republicans
will get around to this In the future.
II they don't, they will ignore part of
the mandate from the people.
In the matter Of American foreign
policy, both the President and Mr.. Mar
tin were agreed that on this subject the
Republicans in Congress and the Presi-
dent In the White House would 60 right
along together. Here again, the man
date Of the elections is clear. The Amer
tcan people are strongly in favor of
having the United States play its fun
part In the United Nations. They also
are In favor OF the Truman Byrnes-
Vandenberg policy Of nrmness in deal
ing with Soviet -Russia-and no appease-
ment Of the Communists.
A glance ut the elections. and the
primaries which preceded them, is q
clear demonstration that the people do
not wish . return to isolationism The
retirement Of Shipstead Of Minnesota,
Wheeler of Montana, La Toilette of Wis
consin and Walsh of Massachusetts, from
the Senate as result Of these elections
removes from the upper house four
Of the most pronounced isolationists Of
pre-Pearl Harbor days.
If there Is one man who can get less
consolation out of the recent elections
than President Truman it Is former
Secretary of Commerce Henry A. WAL
lace. Mr.. Wallace and his left-wing sup
porters were defeated in almost every
State and district In which they made
their fight for radical candidates. He Is
now reported as feeling there is no hope
for progressive" candidates in ls4S-un-
less the Republicans make a mess Of
things in Congress during the next two
years. His pleas for policy of appease-
ment toward Russia fell on deaf ears,
during the campaign. and it looks as
though he win have to find new Issue

Interim Peace Plan
By George Fielding Eliot

The clearing of the international
atmosphere by establishing temporary
military equilibrium in Europe and the
Middle East Is task which cannot be
accomplished in one-Sided fashion.
In preceding articles this writer has
suggested certain steps which the Rus
slams might be asked to take, steps di-
rectea toward the limitation of their
offensive capabilities. by land (which Is
the only sort of offensive capahility they
now possess, as Russia has no navy or
long-range air forcel. Briefly recapdtu-
lated, these steps include ID reduction
of their armies of occupation in Ger.
many, Hungary, Poland and Austria
to equality both IN numbers and in
tactical units with the combined Amerf-
can and British armies Of occupation
in western Germany and Austria; t2l
reduction Of their active forces In Trans-
caucasia to equal Italy with the Turkish
and Iranian forces In the border areas
opposite the Russian frontier: CD
evacuation Of Bulgaria, which must be
done anyway when the Bulgarian peace
treaty has finally been settled: tD re-
duction OF the Yugoslav Army, as against
Anglo-American withdrawal from italy
and Greece. II these steps were taken,
the Russian occupation forces would,
like ours, be sufhcient only for occupa-
tional and frontier-guard duties and
would not, rs they do now, represent
an offensive threat capable Of spear-.
heading the drive into Western Europe or
into vital areas Of the Middle East.

But what can we offer OF like nature
as IN inducement to the Russians to
give up their present military advan-
tages?. Our power is Q power of special
weapons, notably atomic weapons, with
which decisive injuries may be infiicted.
given favorable conditions, directly upon
vital Russian centers. The Russian threat
to us is farther removed IN point Of time:
It Is threat Of oyerrunning vast areas
OF Europe and Asia, from which We might
never be able to expel the Russians and
from which they might eventually or
ganize resources In manpower and ma
terial strength vastly superior to the
resources Of the Americas plus Australia
and the British Isles. The key positions
from our point Of view are "a Western
Europe, facing US across the Atlantic;

To BuIwurk Peuce

In announcing plans Tor the stimuli
taneous negotiation of reciprocal
trade treaties with eighteen differ
ent countries, the StSte Department
has served notice that the United
States Is anxious to move ~ quickly
as possible to promote. In . concrete
way, freer how Of world commerce.
Heretofore, we have worked out
such agreements with one nation ut
time, on q bilateral basis. The
projected negotiations. however
which are to begin some time next
spring rs prelude to a general
world trade conference.-the de-
signed to conclude treaties all ut
once with Australia. Belgium, Brazil,
Canada, Chile. China, Cuba, Czecho-
slovakia, France. India. Lebanon,
Luxembourg. the Netherlands. South
Africa, Russia and the United King
dom.
OF these powers, Russia alone has
failed to accept an invitation to par
ticipate in the project. but Under
secretary OF State Clayton still has
hopes that it will cooperate. II
it does. the outlook will be bright
for the specific implementation of
numerous generalized international
commitments to the principle OF
worldwide economic reciprocity and
collaboration. In this connection,
President Truman has not exagger-
ated the Importance of the under
taking in describing 1t as a highly
significant effort to end trade war
fare In way that viii benefit all
countries. @
As the President declares, the ne
gotiations win naturally involve bar
gaining on the same quid-pro-quo
basis as characterizes the reciprocal
arrangements we now have with
twenty-seven other nations. But
the significance Of the project is
much deeper than that. What we
propose is necessary to the strength
ening of the world bank and none
tary fuyid; 1t is necessary, too, If the
objectives Of the Atlantic Charter
and Article VII of the master lease
lend agreements are to be attained.
In sum, in the Presidents words, the
whole undertaking is central to the
structure of international economic
cooperation under the United Ma
tions"-a fact giving 1t exceptional
importance in relation to the over
all problem of building i lasting
peace.
In theory ct least, the principle OF
reciprocal trade 4 simple enough.
It Is aimed ct promoting higher
living standards everywhere by re-
ducing or eliminating tarin barriers,
discriminatory agreements and other
devices that inhibit the now Of COM
merce between one country and an-
other. Above everything else, what
1t seeks to do is to end the economic
stoppages and frictions that can lead

employment, cutthroat competition

Thut Angel Food Coke

Tastes In angel food cake design

Davies Is entitled to his own. But
his castigation Of the hapless admi-
rails. which may have lacked the
authority" but which in other
respects seems to meet the rhetorical
standards Of "a priest OF the Middle
Ages" In imprecation, raises an in
teresting point regarding state OF
mind toward the atom bomb.
II men in charge Of successful
experiment with death dealing B-29s
gathered together and ate q cake
fashioned In the likeness OF q big
airplane. few ciergymen would feel
called upon to damn to hell" the
people. responsible for such an "ob-
scenity." Why is 1t 30 different,
when the icing on the cake is shaped
to resemble the famous mushroom
effect Of the Bikini atom bomb
explosion? The difference may be
that the atom bomb is regarded with
something approaching awe of the
supernatural. which leads to = dif-
ferent emotional approach than is
commonly used in abjuring more
understandable but no less deadly
horrors Of war.
It Is not certain that this approach
Is sound. The atom bomb is q
ghastly weapon. It's use should be
renounced by civilized human beings.
Yet 1t is more important to renounce
war itself, for until we succeed in
outlawing war from the hearts of
men we shall not have made much
certain progress by outlawing one
OF Its latest and most deadly instru-
ments. As for the admirals, they
are not the first victims of publicity
conscious aides and jealous photog-
raphers. II the cake bakers had
thought to mold in icing a dove OF
peace, sitting on top of the Bikini
cloud, and had the admirals thought
to say that they were memorializing
the dove, triumphant over the cloud,
they might have had their cake and
eaten 1t, too.

President Truman and Representative
Joe" Martin Of Massachusetts,, Repub-
lican leader In the present Congress and
prospective Speaker of the House in the
new, have both expressed q hope for
cooperation between the Democratic
Executive and the Republican controlled
Congress. Mr.. Truman, apparently
mindful Of the mandate Of the people
delivered In the recent elections, already
has removed all wartime controls from
prices and wages, except In the case
of rents, sugar and rice. 1t was clear
the people were in rebellion against the
continuance OF these controls, when they
went to the polls November S. This
was q step In the right direction.
IL remains to be seen whether, In his
annual message and special messages to
the next Ccnsress, the President will
recognize the desire Of the American
people to reduce Federal payrolls. Fed
eral expenditures and Federal taxes. It
remains, also, to be seen whether the
President will urge again upon Congress
the long program Of so-called social
legislation which he presented TO the
existing Congress. II he does, 1t seems
quite clear that this program will re-
ceive even less favorable attention than
IL has In the Seventy y-ninth Congress, In
which the Democrats have substantial
maj0rities.
The President in the past urged q
thorough study OF the labor -nd4nage-
ment problem-as q preliminary for any
new labor legislation. One Of the chief
reasons the election went 50 badly for
the Democrats was the public resent
ment aroused by the long continued
series Of strikes and work stoppageS--
due in considerable part to the fact the
Federal labor laws-and lack Of law
encourage these industrial disturbances.
It will be of great interest. therefore, to
learn whether the President intends to
recommend changes In the Wagner
Labor Relations Act and other existing
laws relating to labor unions.
One Democratic candidate for the
Senate - Senator -elect McGrath Of
Rhode IsIand-had the temerity to I'D.
vocate some minor changes In the Wag-
ner Act during the recent campaign.
He was roundly denounced by some of
the labor leaders In his State-although
none Of them came ont against him.
Mr.. McGrath won his battle for Senate
seat Notwithstanding this disapproval.
Mr.. McGrath has been a favorite OF
the Democratic administration and was
appointed Solicitor General of the
United States. an ONCE he resigned to
make the race for Senator. He ought
to know something about the laws and
apparently he is convinced that some
change in the labor laws. is essential.
Perhaps the President has come around
to his way Of thinking.
One thing seems certain. however.
Union labor leaders will band together

II we ask the Russians to give up
their present capability of sudden as
sault on these areas by land, in the
interests of cool-headed negotiation of
further steps toward an assured peace.
then obviously we must offer them In
return a limitation of our own ability
to strike with atomic weapons ut their
vital centers. This can be done, 1t
seems to me, IN two ways. I'd BY limit
ing our production and possession Of
atomic weapons; t2) by limiting our
ability to discharge such weapons at
Russian targets.
Under the first heading, we might
agree to bring to halt certain processes
leading to the production Of atomic
bombs. This does not mean the dis
ynantling Of plants or the dispersion of
key personnel: it means that for the
present We stop making bombs. being
able to resume making them If the neces-
stiles Of the future demand it. But
there would be considerable delay in

quired to adjusts the details so that
the delay imposed on our resumption
of atomic-bomb manufacture would be
about equal TO the time 1t would take
the Russians to mount major land
offensive In Europe or toward the Mid
die East.
Under the second heading we might
undertake 50 to adjust the production

Since the Communist Party has no

ment and Is faced with combined oppo-
sition which Is numerically very strong,
no drastic changes are expected In the

The President Speaks

In his pledge of cooperation and
good will to >the party which has
been intrusted with control of Con-
gress, Mr.. Truman has spoken as
the President of all the people.
He accepts the results of the
election as they should be accepted
recognizing candidly the clearly
expressed desire OF the yeople to
put the Republicans L. power in
) both the House and tue Senate.
There is no wishfully inspired at
tempt to read anything elce into the
returns, and Mr.. Truman is prepared
to acknowledge the voice OF the
Republicans as supreme in what he
properly describes as "the law
making body"
At the same time, however, he
remains fully aware that. under the
Constitution, the President is in
trusted with the duties and RESPONSE
bilities Of the executive branch Of
the Government. Obviously, given
the best of good faith and good will,
there is ample reason to expect
Serious difficulties" in accommo-
dating these constitutional duties OF
the President to the legislative func-
tons of a Congress controlled by
the opposition party.
There is but one way to meet this
situation. When the inevitable
issues arise between the two, each
party, in the Presidents words, "must
examine our respective positions
with stern and critical analysis to
exclude any attempt to tamper with
the public interest in order to achieve
personal or partisan advantage"
1t is this attitude Of mind which
Is the essential thing. In all proba-
bility it would be helpful for the
President to continue with Repub-
lcan congressional leaders the regu-
lar conferences that he has been
holding with his own legislative
lieutenants. But this, while 1t might
promote a better understanding and
thereby reduce the frequency and
seriousness of differences, will not
prevent issues from arising In the
last analysis there must be q will
tngness on both sides to surrender
something of personal opinion for
the common good. Happily. most
Republican leaders have Indicated q
desire to meet the President halt
way. If the promise of these decla-
rations on both sides of the political
fence is realized, there may be at
least as much cooperation between
the President and the Eghtieth
Congress as there has been between
the President and preceding Con-
crosses. It is even conceivable that
there may be more.
