NAZl YOUTH BAD SIGNALS

revive dltlerlsm IS only Ino IdI-
est warning that Nazism is not
finished. The defiance of Cor
ing at the Nuremberg trial; the
efforts of Won Ribbentrop to re-
vive the old old Hitler "justi6cs-
tons" for every aggression; the
holder line of German press and
people, and the evidence that
American soldiers were being
hoodwinked by "Fraclin propa-
ganda'-all these have pointed
to the perilous failure to deg
troy Nazism.
British and American authori-
ties who made the raids do not
claim to have caught all men,
bers Of the secret societies which
have been operating under old
Hitler Youth leaders. And there
is no assurance that those caught
will be dealt with as to end their
work for a resurgent Nazi Ger
many, While the situation does
not suggest that there is danger
of an armed uprising against &C.
cupation forces at present, the
prospect for the future is not
pleasant-unless more progress
is made in basic reforms.
One is the re-education of Ger
mans, Do we remember the Won
derfulI projects that were out
lined long before the war was
won? Yet today, less then a year
after the opportunity to re.edu-
cate the Germans was finally
won, we find the effort almost
abandoned.
There has been considerable
purging of Nazi literature and q
check on German nationalist
propaganda. But woefully little
has been done to help the Ger
mans understand the wrongness
of warmaking. The prosecution
case built up at Nuremberg has
not been so widely heard or read
by Germans as Hitler's case
against the Allies was. And now
We ave the old Nazis daring to
tome cut and reafirm that case.
Few people outside Germany
viii be impressed by Goring's
pJesting of deeds which most
people consider crimes. Few will
accept Won Ribbentrop's special
pleading that Britain was really
the aggressor. But Germans may
be impressed. may accept speci-
Gus arguments.
Even less has been done 10 a
positive way to help the Germans
learn the values and habitual
practice of free ways. American
jeeps and chewing gum have
been better explained and dem.
onstrated than American demo-
crazy.
Possibly the most demoralizing
failure has been the extent to
which war criminals have escap-
d. Anti-Nazis who struggled
long years against the gangsters
must be profoundly discouraged
to see them overlooked or pro-
tected by the Allies. Unless JUS

will vanish. New incentives and
new prestige will be acquired by
all the underqrounds seeking to
revive Hitlerism.
Some things can still be done.
The Allies can stick together.
Dissention among them gives the
Nazis their best hope. Civilians
can take over the occupation
tasks except policing. They may
recognize better that mental dis

The anti-poll takers are striking AZ
the polistax States-there are only seven

Democratic--from new angie. IL y
4 challenge Of the election OF members
Of Congress in poll-tax States-in this
particular case, Virginia-on the ground
that imposition OF the poll tax Is
device to stall of the operation OF the
l4th and 18th amendments OF the Con-
stitution, in fact, to prevent Negroes
from voting.
Lawrence Michael, Republican candi-
date for the House in the 9th con-
eressional district, has filed contest
against his successful Democratic OPP
ponent, veteran Representative Howard
w, Smith, setting forth in detail this
argument. If a Republican majority
in the new Congress should uphold his
contention and decline to seat Mr..
Smith, Democrats elected in other Vir-
ainia districts and in the other poll
tax states might be eliminated from
the House and several newly elected
Senators also from poll-tax States.
All OF this could be accomplished with
out passing q Federal law attempting
to invalidate the poll tax as prereQui-
site for voting in the States that still
retain it. 1t would be accomplished
merely by denying the right OF Rep
resentative-e to take his seat.
It would be bringing pressure OF
maj ior kind on these States to repeal
their poll taxes. Obviously no Stata
would care long to be denied the privi-
Iege OF having its Representatives In
Congress. It could be done by major
ity vote of the House which is the
sole Judge OF the Qualifications Of Its
members to take their seats in the
House.
The contest brought by Mr.. Michael
is based fundamentally on an act OF
Congress, passed January 26. 1870. after
the Civil War, under which Virginia
was given the right again to elect and
send representatives to Congress. Mr..
Michael points out this law provided
that "the constitution of Virginia shall
never be so amended or changed as
to deprive any citizen or citizens of the
United States of the right to vote who
are entitled to vote by the constitution
herein recognized" It further set forth
that the Legislature of Virginia, elected
under this constitution, had ratified the
18th and 18th amendments OF the
Constitution of the United States
(which provide there can be no dis
elimination against potential voters be-
cause of race, color or previous condi-
tion Of servitude) and must live up to
those amendments.
Mr.. Michael, In his contest, insists
that the amended Virginia constitution
of 1907 violates the fundamental con-
ditions imposed by this law Of Congress
since It provides for q poll tax de-

In its case against John L. Lewis and
the United Mine Workers, the Govern
ment takes the position that the Norris
La Guariia anti-injunction act of 1892
does not apply. The act does not apply,
the Government maintains, because II
was intended to cover only private en-
ployers. not the Government.
And the proceedings In Congress when
the Norris-I.a Guardia Act was passed
do seem to indicate that the legislation
was not intended to apply to the Gov
ernment. In recent years the courts,
especially the Supreme Court, IN their
Interpretation Of Federal statutes have
placed heavy emphasis on the actual
intent of Congress.
~
AS the late Senator Norris said in the
Senate in 1882, anti-injunctiion legisla-
ton had been agitated In Congress for
many years previously indeed, ever
since 1921. IN that year the Supreme
Court, in 6-to-3 decision In the Duplex
Printing Case, had invalidated much
OF the legislative protection which Labor
thought it had obtained In the Clayton
Act Of 1914. IN 1928 both party platforms
had pointed out the dangers Of abuse
ID, the use Of injunctions Ia labor dis
putes.
In the Senate debate In 1882 Senator
Norris described the effect Of injunc-
tions as follows:
.Tne effect of an injunction y to
make something Illegal which Is not
illegal under the law Of the land. It
makes something crime which Is
not crime under public laW. Yeti

He calls on the House. therefore, to
insist the provisions Of the act OF Con-
gress giving Virginia the right TO elect
members OF Congress be carried into
effect; that the imposition OF the poll
tax violates this act, and that Repre-
sentative Smith, therefore, Is not en-
titled to seat in the House.
The debates in the Virginia consti-
tutional convention Of 1901 and 1902
clearly show that the main purpose of
the convention was to eliminate as
many Negro voters as possible in Vir-
ginia. The late Senator Carter Glass.
always frank and outspoken, a delegate
to the convention. during the debate
said:
I'm response to the demand Of the
white people of Virginia, Democratic
Legislature proposed to the people the
calling OF a convention to revise and
amend the present constitution. The
primary purpose Of that convention was
to abridge the right Of popular suffrage
and to eliminate every Negro Of whom
We could be rid without running counter
to the prohibition Of the Federal Con-
stitution. Not white man in Virginia,
nor a black man OF ordinary intelli-
gence, win contend that this purpose
of constitutional revision was disguised
or attempted to be concealed J"
~
In the prior constitution one re-
vised by the constitutional convention
OF l9o1-2-there was no provision for
q poll tax. This tax, Mr.. Michael says,
was the instrument by which the Ne
gro votes in Virginia have been, so far
as possible, eliminated. To support this
contention, he calls attention to the
fact in 1910 there were 197.3 .392 white
and colored residents Of Virginia'S 8th
congressional district 81 years Of age
and over; that the colored residents
IL years Of age and over numbered
35,B55, and that the number Of potential
was 14S,24l. He insists that OF the
9,151 persons 81 years Of age and over
who were not SO assessed, most OF them
were Negroes.
When he was candidate for elec-
ton Mr. Michael brought suit in the
United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Virginia seeking to
compel the elimination Of the poll tax
in the recent election The court, how
ever, on motion of the State officials
involved, dismissed the suit.
Representative Smith has not yet
made reply to the contest filed by Mr..
Michael. It is, however, the conten-
tion Of supporters of the poll tax law
that it applies alike to white and Negro
and therefore cannot be held to violate
the Fifteenth Amendment of the Con-
stitution. Mr.. Michael holds, however,
that it was clearly the purpose of the
trainers of the Virginia constitution to
do violence to that amendment, that
it has done so, and that the House
should take this into consideration.

This Changing World
By Constantine Broyn

render the Moscow government put q
complete embargo on the japanese fish
ing boats moving in Soviet-controlled
waters.
For several months after V-J day
our allies opposed letting any japanese
fishing craft put out to sea- The fish,
ing fleets were in bad shape and the
efforts OF the American authorities TO
help repair them were the target OF
criticism from our allies. It was only
after an American agricultural mission
went to Japan and examined the sltua-
ton that the allies Withdrew their OBJ
jections. The mission, after its survey,
reported that unless the japanese fish,
Ing fleets were allowed more freedom,
under strict allied control, 1t would
become necessary for the United States
to feed the people OF Japan who were
likely to become wards OF this country.
Reasons of internal security would re-
Quire such an action.
The representatives OF the other
nations in the occupation Of Japan
realized that this would mean an even-
tual shrinking Of supplies available TO
Europe and China under the UNRRA
scheme. Feeding some 10000 600 per-
sons even on a very scant allotment OF
calories would require huge amount
OF food. Gen. Macarthur made 1t clear
to his colleagues that unless he had his
own way about allowing the Japanese
to reconstruct their fishing fleets and
going out to get the staple food where
ever they could find it in the south, he
would insist that the food be sent from
the United States
The fishing fleets are active at this
time, but since their field is limited they
are not able to cope with the food re-
ouirements of their country.
This has led the Allied supreme COM
mander to plan to send Japanese har-
pooners on a whaling expedition far
outside the japanese waters. Gen. Mac
Arthur hopes that the Japanese may
develop taste for whale steak and
whale oil, diet which they have never
known before.
But in view of the world food short
ages and the prospect that We win be
required to send supplies to Europe, the
attempt to get the Japanese accustomed
to whale meat and oils was considered
by Gen. Macarthur as the only sensible
solution to meeting the immediate feed
ing problem In Japan.

Elections in Uruquuy

Judged by the criteria Of size and
population, Uruguay ranks with
Paraguay as the smallest of South
American states. Uruguay,s area of
72,000 square miles is only a trifie
larger than New England, with ap-
proximately 100000 inhabitants.
It's smallness Is accentuated by con-
trast with its vast neighbors, Argen-
tina and Brazil. between whom it
nestles like pgymy between two
giants. Indeed, its very existence as
a nation is somewhat Of political
miracle.
Nevertheless, Uruguay has deyel-
oped not only a strong national con-
sciousness but also an internal pros
perity and stability which lends it
high significance in the South Amer
ican picture. Indeed, It's political and
social evolution from unpromising
beginnings to the realization of
democratic ideals and institutions is
an extremely heartening phenome-
non Thus, the outcome of the recent
presidential elections in Uruguay has
more than a local meaning.
Uruguay has traditionally been a
two party country. The original
lines of division were between the
Colorados and the Blancos, trans
latable as the Reds and the Whites,
the terms said to be derived from
the shade of the kerchiefs which the
gauchos, or cowboys, wore around
their necks to denote their political
Affiliations. Roughly speaking, the
Colorados have been the liberals or
radicals, while the opposition, today
known as Nationalists, have been the
conservatives.
The Nationalists' political evolu-
ton is largely due to the dominating
personality of Luis Alberto Herrera,
who has been their perpetual candi-
date, running unsuccessfully for the
presidency no less than six times in
the past twenty EIGHT years. An ex-
treme Nationalist, with 'isolationist"
and authoritarian tendencies, he ops
posed the Colorado foreign policy OF
close relations with the United States
and pan-American cooperation dur
ing the late war, while more recently
he has evinced admiration for Ar
gentine President Peron.
The Nationalist defeat at the polls
last Sunday assures the continuance
OF q Colorado administration and Its
foreign policies. The new president
will undoubtedly be Tomas Berreta,
though this will require official GER
tificatiop. since. under Uruguays

Creepy Ideo

Acting on the persuasive aSSump-
ton that many geniuses. like un-
discovered gems. are. overlooked and
never have chance to emerge from
the mass, an educational psycholo-
gist of the University of Chicago has
called for the immediate establish
ment of a National Commission for
the Identification of Talented Youth.
In an age of multitudinous agencies
with iawbreaking titles, this sugges-
tion may seem to be carrying things
too far but it has the support OF a
number of distinguished educators
and thus merits reasonably respect
full attention.
AS outlined by the Chicago savant,
the NCITY would conduct con-
tinuous talent search and inventory
of youngsters showing marked
ability. These would be the top one
tenth of one per cent of Americas
little gifted ones, and their names
would be listed annually or bi-
annually and made available to all
kinds of organizations, including
colleges and business groups. In that
way theoretically, at least - no
flowers would have to blush unseen
or waste their sweetness on the
desert air; instead, they would be
given every opportunity to develop
their inborn endowments, and the
Nation thus could build leadership
for the future and guard against loss
of a rich natural resource.
Alas, though, the plan has couple
of bugs in It. The educators them
selves qualify their support by say
ing that it might create roster OF
elite human beings and that this
elite could be harmful to our democ-
racy. But this is not the only danger.
anything like the proposed program
might make ordinary living pretty
hard on the untalented. With the
list of little geniuses being publicized
every year or so, parents OF the
chosen offspring might begin to feel
increasingly uncomfortable in their
presence. Moreover, the Super Quiz
KIDS, the one-tenth of one per cent,
might themselves tend to grow self

Gen. Douglas Macarthur has author
lied the Japanese to send out whaling
expedition. Its purpose Is to supplement-
the present meager ra0ons OF the Jap
arese people, to augment Japans short
ages of fats and oil and to add about
so 600 tons OF food to the worlds cur
rent short supplies.
The decision Of the Allied supreme
commander in Japan was met at first
with strenuous opposition from the Brit
ish, New Zealanders, the Australians and
the Russians. Even the Norwegians who
are not represented on the Far Eastern
Commission, protested against the au-
thorization.
The Far Eastern Commission finally
consented to Withdraw It's opposition
after 1t was agreed that the wl1alers
would operate only in international
waters and large number OF Observers
were assigned to the expedition to see
that no spying was done by the Japs on
behalf OF any friendly power According
to dispatches from Tokyo, the number
of counter espionage officers Is SO large
and varied that they have to wear
badges to keep from snooping on one
another.
Gen. Macarthur feels that under ex-
isting world conditions the feeding OF
the Japanese people Is the exclusive re-
sponsibflity OF the American Governs
ment. To him, this is matter OF good
government. A hungry nation becomes
unruly and unruly people have to be
policed by a strong army Of occupation,
which the supreme commander does
not have at his disposal: nor Is he likely
to have his troops strengthened. BY
carefully outstanding the food resources
of Japan and the trickle that came
from the United States, Gen. Macarthur
managed to overcome very serious food
crisis last spring and summer. ).
The whaling expedition was deemed
necessary when 1t became apparent that
the Russian government would not
change its policies regarding japanese
fishing in an-dominated waters.
Ever since the occupation Of Southern
Sakhalin and the Kuriles by the U. s.
s. r. the Sea Of Okhotsk which in the
past provided the Japanese with the
bulk Of their main staple food, fish
has been forbidden to Nipponese fish-
ermen. The fishing agreements between
Russia and Japan naturally became
obsolete as soon as the U. s. S. r. de-
clared war on Japan and after the sur
