Footnote to Canol Debate

Footnote to Canol Debate
To the Editor of The Star:
You published a letter from Robert
K. Williams in your issue of july 81 in
which, with great assurance, he saws
that had made a misstatement when
l said In my column of July % that
l had not been consulted on the Canol
Project. 1t Is Mr.. Williams who is
wrong and not I. I hope that he read
my column of July 81, in which quoted
Mr.. Graham, the adviser who convinced
Gen, Somervell to undertake this prof.
ect.
Mr.. Graham said under oath that T
had not been consulted and the record
OF hearings before the Truman Com
mlttee will corroborate this fully. Mr..
Williams seems to think that an ap-
proval by "one of Mr.. Ickes' deputies
OF the transfer of a refinery
from around Corpus Christi, Tex, to
Canol" was proof of prior consultation
as to the project itself. He is as wrong
as he can be. PAW was consulted
about this refinery but conceivablv the
ref1nery could have been used to refine
oil transported by tankers.
Ralph K. Davies, Deputy Admins
traitor of PAW, learned quite by chance
OF this unjustifable project and, when
ne told me of it. wrote a letter of
protest to the Secretary of War that I
had not been consulted. Subsequently
Gen. Somervell and Admiral Horne
came to my Office to tell me that l had
not been consulted because this was g
top secret" However, I continued to
protest and I went so far as to suggest
TO the Truman Committee when I ap
peared before 1t as a witness that de-
spite the fact that the pipeline was
nearly completed 1t should be aban
doned because it could not be justified
either from the point of view of the
war or of the subsequent peace.

A Question of Ethics

In submitting to Bertram M.
Campbell, former Wall Street bond
salesman, bill for $3,385.55, the
County of Nassau, Long Island, un-
douhtedly is within its legal rights
but it would seem, nevertheless, that
the county is planning to add insult
to the injury already done Mr.
Campbell by his State. Mr.. Camp
bell, it will be recalled, is the inno-
cent citizen who served three years
and four months in Sing Sing Prison
for forgery committed by some one
else. When the real criminal even
tually confessed, Governor Dewey
granted Mr., Campbell special par
don and the State Court of Claims
awarded him $115,OOO for loss of
earnings and for the shame and
humiliation" to which he and his
family had been subjected
During his long imprisonment Mr..
Campbell's devoted wife and three
young children were left without
means of livelihood. The State of
New York and Nassau County doled
out total OF $3,3s5.55 to aid in their
support. 1t is this money, expended
through no fault of the Campbells.
which county officials are trying to
get back. About third of the
money is to be returned to the State
which committed the grievous,
though unintentional, wrong against
Mr.. Campbell. The payment would
have to come, Of course, out of the
money just granted in recompense
Tor the error. And part of the sum
already has been withheld by the
State for income taxes left unpaid
after Mr.. Campbell's imprisonment.
There are ethical questions here
that deserve consideration with the
legal aspects of this strange case. If
1t was the intention of the State to
award Mr.. Campbell s115,000 In full
recompense for the injustice done
him, 1t does not seem logical that
the grant should be used even in
part to reimburse the State for
losses incurred through its own
blunder.

This Changing World

The representatives of the western
powers at the Paris Conference already
have dubbed the proposed peace treaties

regardless of how heated the debates
in the council chambers and how loud

tions, the dictates of the Big Four will
be accepted without any changes.
Secretary of State Byrnes is aware
that the signature of these treaties will
serve no other purpose than to put the
stamp of approval to Russia's domi-
nation of the former German satellites
and that the word peace is given to
these treaties as a courtesy He has,
however, no choice but to sign what

that the people of this country want

The British are too tired and faced

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

With the New York Democratic State
Convention less than a month away,
Senator James Mead continues to play
the Sphinx-he is unwilling to say that
he will run for Governor. or that he
will seek denomination for his present
Senate seat. The reason for this silence
on the Senator's political plans, he
says, is that he wishes to do nothing
that will interfere in any way with the
work of the Committee to Investigate
National Defense of which he is chair
man. committee that has held the
national limelight for months
There seems, however, to be more
than meets the eye in the Senator's re-
luctance to discuss his political plans.
1t has been generally supposed that
Mr.. Mead would be the Democratic
nominee for Governor to run against
the little giant, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey.
Indeed, the Democratic State leaders
have put his name forward for this job
for months. He has been indorsed for
it by the Executive Committee of the
Liberal party.
The office of Governor of New York
the Empire State-haS been a stepping
stone to higher political honors in both
the Democratic and Republican parties.
The Democrat who this year can knock
Off Gov. Dewey would be natural for
vice presidential nomination in l948
to run with President Truman-or. if
Mr.. Truman should for some reason
not run to succeed himself, for a presi-
dental nomination. 1t is the double
treasure which has made a number
OF New York Democrats eye the guber-
material nomination this year with con-
siderable longing. 1t was, however,
more OF prize six months ago than
it is today-for the simple reason that
Democrats speak with less and less
hope of knocking off Gov. Dewey next
November.
There are those Democratic leaders
who say that Senator Mead will surely
be nominated for Governor-that the
plans to nominate him have gone too
far, including his Endorsement by vari-
Gus county committees and also
promise to nominate former Gov. Her
bert Lehman to run for the Senate seat
now occupied by Mr.. Mead These
leaders say that Senator Mead will have
to go through with the plan, no matter
what his personal wishes may now be.
Mr.. Mead, on the other hand. speaks
as though he were an entirely free
agent, and can decide to make a bid
either for the gubernatorial or the SEN
atorlal nomination in the State conven-
ton. And he has thrown out number
OF intimations that he is we'll pleased

Letters to The Star
Tells Why Arabs Oppose Plan
To Divide Palestine
the Editor ~ The S.er.

To the Editor OF The Star:
The contention that only through par
tition of Palestine can the impasse in
the Holy Land be resolved, as was
pointed out in your issue of August l
by H. D. Bradford, is erroneous and
impractical. 1t is erroneous because.
instead of simplifying the problem, par
tition would tend to further complicate
1t. The setting up of two autonomous
provinces in Palestine hostile to each
other, while leaving the British with
virtual control of all aspects of the
final policy in an area where the politi-
cal situation is highly combustible. is
fraught with dangers and is unaccept-
able to the Arabs.
The Arabs object to it, first, in point
of principle, because by partition they
would accede to the Zionist ambition
OF establishing Jewish state, no matter
whether it were instituted in one part
OF Palestine or in all of it. Also the
Arabs would not approve such scheme
because of its impracticability. 1t will
be recalled that after the Peel Com
mission recommended the partitioning
OF Palestine in 1888 a technical COM
mlttee, better known as the Woodhead
Commission, was dispatched to study
further the details of the plan and
found 1t infeasible. 1t stated that no
Jewish province could be delimited in
Palestine which would not contain a
large majority of Arab inhabitants
Therefore the separation of that country
into numerous provinces would entail
dlfheulties that seem insurmountable.
Furthermore, no Arab would accept
any plan which would not provide for
the final settlement of the question of
immigration in manner acceptable to
the majority of the inhabitants. The
problem Of immigration is a national
concern and 1t is impossible to find a
solution unless Palestine is considered
as a single unit. The best solution
would be to follow the ordinary course
OF having the indigenous population de-
eide the question of immigration by
themselves, without interference from
any foreign country or source.
AS to the friction that exists between
the Jews and the Arabs. as suggested
by Mr.. Bradford I would like to re-
mind him that both Arabs and Jews
lived together in peace and harmony
until the First World War, when the
element OF Zionism was introduced.
am sure that both communities again
would return to that peaceful relation
II and when the Jews depart from the
Zionist teachings
