PARIS:
Wanted: Softer Terms

Addressing the delegates of 81
Allied nations at the peace confer
ence in Luxembourg palace, rep
resentatives of Italy, Romania and
Bulgaria pleaded for moderation of
terms on the grounds that, as CO.
belligerents of the victors in the
closing stages of the war, they had
made substantial sacrifices for VIC
tory.
Speaking for Italy, Premier
De Gasperi stated that his cOun-
try had contributed troops, ma
val power and materials for
three years and that the Al
lies should think twice before
internationalizing Italian DOM
mated Trieste and submitting
$4,000 Italians in Venezia Guilia
to YugOslav rule. He also as
serted that excessive repara-
tions would weigh down the Ital-
ian economy and reduction of
armaments would imperil the
safety of the state.
Foreign Minister Giorgu Tatar-
escu of Romania followed De Gas
peri to the speakers dais and as
serted that no less than $3.50
Romanians had fought on the al
lied side during the last six months
of the war. Furthermore, he said,
German and Hungarian forces had
inflicted large-scale damage of Ro-
mania after she had deserted the
axis cause. Tatarescu asked for a
larger army and scaling down of
heavy reparations.
On behalf of Bulgaria, Foreign
Minister George Koulishev claimed
that his country had suffered $4,000
casualties during the eight months
it fought on the allied side. He
charged Greek demands for $780,
100000 in reparations were excess
sive and asked that Bulgaria be
permitted to disarm within reason
able limits. Regulation of traffic on
the Danube should be the inter-
est of all the countries bordering the
river, including Bulgaria, Koulishev
said.

Bilbo, we have successfully smeared
the worst man in the Senate, and We
try TO think Of new epithets TO be
used the next time he opens his
bigoted mouth.
Seldom II ever do we realize that
Bilbo is no better and no worse
than the average of his colleagues.
He indisputably exerts effective
leadership on vital questions, and
his support is usually on the side
of the majority. Whenever it be
comes necessary for us to deal
with him, we dig deeply into the
barrel Of hate and shoot the works
II has gotten TO the point where
you don't know which side shows
the greater amount Of intolerance,
Bilbo, or the men that hate and
revile him.
Perhaps we might have gone
on spewing forth new descriptives
Of anger every time Bilbo opened
a new race-hate offensive, il "the
man." himself hadn't shown US the
error of our ways. Bilbo is not
our concern any longer. He has
come out in open defiance against
the law and order Of the United
States, and he has issued an in
element to riot. The government,
IL IL does anything at all, will not
rest with merely calling him names.
The Department of Justice, stung
to the quick by the open defiance
Of the Mississippi demagogue, II

A Senate committee which sits

II the Mississippi mud-sIinRer is
sent back for another six years Of
law-making by abuse. At this time,
il is expected that some sort Of
protection will be thrown around
the Mississippi polls TO guarantee
protection TO as many Of the eligible
Negro voters who have the cour-
age to go out and vote against the
most hated man Of the century.
What Bilbo is worried about. Is
the possible necessity Of having

seeking opportunist, Bilbo has not
softened in character even during
the period when he must give an
account Of his stewardship. He
rsde to prominence on the race
question, and up TO this point the
name callers and the hate singers
have helped him keep the issue
alive and profitable.
The Saturday Evening Post, and
Life Magazine did n bang-up job
in reporting to the world the tenn
peramental and intellectual deRci-
ency of this man from Mississippi.
These two leading magazines didn't
carry stories for the hatcrs and
the revilers. Their editorial stats.
figured that the spot to aim the
barbs is the one closest to the heart.

Minnesota Political Roundup
BY Arthur NaftaIin

The death Of OPA In the days
Immediately preceding Monday
primary election heightened general
political interest over the state
and added a special note Of ur-
gency 10 the final moments Of
the campaign. Its death, however,
came too suddenly and amid such
confusion that campaiRners found
il difficult 10 make an effective

DBL candidates, who had con-
sistently supported the national
administration's price control pol
icies and had warned against the
inflationaTy consequences Of abrupt
removal Of the controls, hammered
away at Republican opposition TO
OPA and at the governors failure
to call a special session 20 deal

problem earlier in the year.
A few hailed the total end Of
0PA as salutary. regarding IL a.
certain 10 stimulate production

prosperity. But even most Of those
who had energeticalIy denounced
OPA had not anticipated 30 abrupt
and so complete an end and were
disconnected by The sudden develop
ments. Most everyone. including
the great majority Of landlords,
agreed that some control on rents
should continue. Supporters Of OPA
were aRhast at the possible con-
sequences Of it's sudden death.
In the midst Of the confusion,
voters suddenly were seized with
q realization Of the need for capable
and competent Leadership IN Con-
Rress. Their mood was such az 10

More than IA months after We.

today to send back to Germany the
last of more than 10000 prisoners
of war brought to this country.
The final group, aside from fewer
than 800 sick or classed as incor-

officials said
All are Germans. The last of the
japanese and Italian war prisoners
were returned to their homelands
early this year.
Prospects for the immediate re-
lease of this last batch of prisoners
once they hit Germany again are
uncertain.
Under an arrangement with Great
Britain, l75,000 of the final group
held in the United States were to
