Such personality and such a
career surely are a contradiction
to the familiar theory of economic
determinism under which men are
supposed to be guided, if not alto
gether controlled, predominantly by
the profit motive. The Aga Khan
never has been and never is likely
to be a temporal sovereign. His
power derives from the fact that he
is descended from the great Mo-
manned, the original sponsor of the
cult which he leads. He is, in effect,
a symbol of an ideal which non
Moslenls may not share but which
nevertheless is vast dynamic force
in this troubled planet.

the time. He now has joined up with
the Independent Citizens Committee
OF the Arts, Sciences and Professions.
as its executive chairman.
This is the same organization of which
James Roosevelt, son of the late Presi-
cent, is national director of political
organization. Statements by both Mr.,
lckes and Mr.. Roosevelt indicate that
the organization will fight for liberal
candidates for political office, partic-
ularly in Congress. with a realignment
OF voters. No third party has been sug-
gested. But it seems clear that the
EFFORT will be to keep the control of the
party in New Deal hands
Meanwhile the Democratic committee.
through its organ, The Democrat" is
doing its best to paste on the Repub-
lican party the label of reaction. Re-
publican opposition-it does not men
ton the opposition of the conservative
Democrats-to Truman measures such
as the housing bill is played up in the
publication. Yet it was a coalition of
Republicans and Democrats in the House
which recently knocked a proposed
5000 900 900 subsidy to building material
producers from that bill. 1t could not
have been accomplished by the Re-
publicans alone
1t looks as though the national COM
mittee may find itself in a dilemma
when the fact of Democratic opposition
IN Congress to such proposals is driven
home. 1t is true that there is no chance
OF supplanting Democratic members of
the House with Republicans from South
ern districts. But not all of the con-
sentative Democrats live in the South,
and those in the North and West will
have something to say when elections
roll around and CIO-backed candidates
are in the field
Already, through Sam O'Neal, director
OF publicity for the Democratic National
Committee, the Democrats are on record
as favoring for the Republican presi-
dental nominee in 1913, John w.
Bricker, former Governor of Ohio. Mr..
O'Neal picks Mr.. Bricker as the easiest
candidate to defeat, on the ground that
Mr.. Bricker personifies reaction.
Selecting candidates of the opposing
political party is a favorite pastime.
However, in this case the Republicans
themselves will have part in the choice
when 1913 is here.

Eyes Opened
From La Patrie (MontreaD.


The investigation instituted by the
Federal Government into the actions of
certain number of Canadians who
have lent themselves to the manoeuvres
OF Soviet agents seeking military secrets
should have a reassuring effect on our
minds. For this investigation shows
that we are able to protect ourselves
against what is already called fifth
column. In this affair the angry re-
action OF Canadian public opinion is
healthy one, expressing farsighted pa
triotism. Mingled with this there IS
doubtless a scandalized surprise in face
Of the revelation of the existence of
treacherous plots against Canada by a
nation which We had considered as an
ally, towards which our own propaganda
lis there another word?) has worked SO
hard during the years of war to have us
adopt cordial and even fraternal atti-
tude. Now We discover suddenly that
these friends" exploit our hospitality
against us, as well perhaps as our credul-
ity. To be surprised at that is to be
ignorant Of international morals and the
background OF diplomat relations. What
has happened has opened our eyes. So
much the better.

should put on the envelope "Stettin,
Germany" or "Stettin, Poland" The in
ternational postal regulations, he ex-
planned, may take view different from
that of the State Department. AL
though we recognize Latvia as an in
dependent republic, the cable COM
panies demand that messages addressed
to Riga, the capital of that country, be
marked Riga, U. S. S. R."
The official in the State Depart
ment to whom this question was sub
mitted by telephone hesitated and
promised the Congress member to give
an answer as soon as he was able to
contact his superiors. He called back
the inquisitive representative and in
formed him that his correspondence
with the prospective American consul
IN that city would not go astray if he
addressed it, 1.-The American Consul,
Stettin, Europe"
The fact that the American Govern
ment cannot recognize any transfer of
territories as legal until certain inter-
national formalities have been accom-
plished, does not change, of course. a
de facto" situation
The international postal regulations
are, however, different. communica-
ton addressed to any portion of Poland
which is now under Russian sovereignty
or to the sections Of Germany where
the new Polish flag has been hoisted

those areas.
1t is recalled that Manchukuo officials
refused to accept letters and kilograms
addressed to "Manchuria" under the
pretext that they did not know of such
country. Before the war the Czech

kilograms addressed to Karlsbad. we'll

The State Department placed itself
on record by necessity that until peace
treaties have been signed and confirmed
by the Senate no change in the map

This applies not only to the unilateral
actions which have changed the boun-

trying to keep In its own hands as far
as possible
But the fact that this question of the
nature of our domestic control of atomic
power has not yet been decided, is no
reason for not getting on with the job
of international discussion, at least in
the preliminary stages. For on the
highest national level, and on the high
est international level, this is unoues-
tionably and beyond all argument po-
nt1cal, that is, civilian matter. The
major decisions to be made are political
decisions. They must be made in the
light Of technical advice, both military
and scientific; but they are political de-
cisions for all that.
For example: Can we have a workable
international inspection system? The
scientists and the engineers can tell us
what is necessary, in the technical sense
to make such a system work The
soldiers can tell us the dangers against
which we must provide adequate safe
guards. But the question of whether
nations will permit the international in
spectors to come into their territories
and whether they will grant to them
the authorities and powers essential to
the performance of their duties, is
political question and must be negotiated
and decided in the light of political
realities.
Hence the American representative on
the Atomic Commission must, very
clearly, be civilian with political ex-
perfence and ability. The British have
just decided to appoint as their repre-
sentative Sir Alexander Cadogan, who
is career foreign office man and
permanent undersecretary of the for
eign office. He is neither a scientist
nor soldier. He is trained political
negotiator. The American representa-
tive should be Of the same caliber and
background.
The fact that we are still arguing
over domestic control of atomic energy
is lamentable. But we can no longer
delay the beginning, at any rate, of in
ternational discussion; and 1t is particu-
larry damaging for the United States to
bear the onus Of this delay. The Presi-
dent should appoint our representative
to the United Nations Atomic Commits
sion at once, 50 that the commission
may meet In New York next month.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

Ramifcations of the internal rows
among members of the Democratic
party are becoming involved. First,
there are differences between the Tru-
man administration and the more con-
serVative Democrats in Congress, who
nave Joined with Republican members
OF the House and Senate to oppose New
Dealish proposals by the President Sec
ond, the differences between the dyed
ln-the-Wool new dealers and Mr.. Tru-
man. What these differences will mean
when translated into votes in the con-
gressional elections this year and in the
presidential election Of 1913 is anybody's
guess. The picture presented, however,
Is one OF complete disunity.
The coalition between conservative
Democrats and the Republicans in Con-
gress is not newt is merely more vir-
ulent. Such a coalition grew up during
the last years of the late President
Roosevelt's administration. Had 1t not
been for the war, it would have been
more powerful than 1t was in the Roose-
welt days. Now, with the war over,
President Truman is feeling the full
force OF this coalition, which apparently
Is determined to put limit, if not an
end, to great governmental expendi-
lures and to terminate as rapidly as
possible governmental restraints on bus
mess, prices and wages
-
The feeling among conservative DEM
ocrats against further New Dealism is
strong-so strong that these Democrats
have not hesitated now to come out into
the open with their plans. Nearly all
OF the New Dealish measures which Mr..
Truman has urged on Congress have
had the backing of the CLIO, and the
C1O is violently in opposition to the
conservative Democrats particularly
those from the South. 1t will do its
utmost to see that these Democrats are
not returned to Congress in the coming
elections. And just as violently, the
conservative Democrats are opposed to
control of their party by the CLIO.
More gradually, but apparently just
as certainly, a rift is growing between
the Roosevelt New Dealers and the Tru-
man administration. 1t was highlighted
recently when former Secretary of the
Interior Ickes split with the President
over the appointment of Edwin w.
Pauley to be Undersecretary of the
Navy. Mr.. Ickes made unkind remarks
about the Truman administration at

Report Those Souvenirs

Bureau of Internal Revenue off,
Gals are calling attention Of the
public to a provision of the arms
registration law which appears to
have been generally overlooked by
veterans intent on sending or bring
ing home enemy weapons as souve-
Mrs for family or friends. This is
the requirement that certain types
of guns preferred in gangster circles
should be registered with the bureau
Guns which must be registered are
shotguns or rifles with barrels less
than eighteen inches long (the So
called sawed-off varieties), pistols or.
revolvers equipped with muffiers or
silencers or fitted with shoulder
stock attachments or with full-auto-
matte devices, and machine guns or
other weapons capable of firing more
than one projectile with each pull of
the trigger.
Many war souvenirs that fall into
the registrable class have been
brought to the United States from
overseas points, but relatively
few of these have been registered
under the internal revenue law.
Bureau officials are inclined to be-
lieve>-and they undoubtedly are
right-that this failure to register
arises from ignorance of the law
rather than any intent to evade reg
istration. They are of the opinion
that when veterans and other citi-
zens with unregistered guns in their
possession learn of the laws provi-
sions, the registration of souvenirs
in question will follow through VOL
untary compliance.
a. The gun registration law was en-
acted for the prime purpose of max
ing it difficult for gangsters to obtain
guns. Changes in ownership must
be reported. If caught with unreg-
istered guns on their persons law
breakers are subject to prosecution
and severe penalties. New York
police recently reported that con-
siderable number of guns conflscated
from prisoners In that city were

Those Greek Elections

The Greek parliamentary elections
threaten to develop from a local
matter into one of those tests of
power and prestige between Soviet
Russia and the English-speaking
nations which are the gravest
aspect of the current international
scene.
Those elections have been slated
for March 31st to determine the
will of the Greek people by the
choice of Parliament to succeed
the present "caretaker" Govern
ment installed after the revolution
airy disturbances which were quelled
chiefly by the intervention of
British troops who remain temporar-
lily in the country to help ensure
the maintenance of order. This
interim Government is headed by
Premier Sophoulis, leader of the
middle -the-road Liberal Party,
but representing coalition of
various political groups excluding
the extremist Right and Left fac
tons.
In order to ensure the fairness of
these elections, representatives OF
America, Britain and France have
gone to Greece to investigate condi-
lions and watch the actual ballot
ting. Soviet Russia, however, has,
from the first declined to participate
In this surveillance and has openly
backed the local Communist dom
mated Fam party in it's objection
to elections held at this time
EAM's chief argument is that Greek
public opinion is so infamed
against it by Rightist propaganda
conducted under British occupation
that 1t and other radical groups
would not have fair show. 1t
therefore demands that the cleo
tons be postponed and threatens
to boycott them If held.
Such postponement would perpet-
uate the current uncertainty of the
Greek situation, would give Moscow
another argument for British with
drawal, and would permit greater
pressure on Greece from both Mos
cow and its satellite, the Yugoslav
regime of Marshal Tito. The extent
of this pressure even today is shown
by the designations from Premier
Sophoulis' Cabinet and by his mes
sage to Foreign Minister Bevin ex-
pressing doubts as to the ACCESSIBILITY
OF holding the elections on schedule.
To this, Mr.. Bevin made a sharp
answer pointing out the unfortunate
consequences which would follow
such obvious yielding to Communist
tactics. Yet, for so doing, Mr. Bevin
has been assailed by stable con-
tingent of his own followers rep
resenting the left-wing of the Labor
Party with undisguised sympathies
for Soviet Russia.
All this Is significant evidence of
the deeped influences that are being
brought to bear on the question of
the Greek elections. The outcome
of the controversy will thus have
much more than a local meaning.

This Changing World
By Constantine Brown

So far as the appropriations of the
State Department for consular posts are
concerned. the American Government
still considers Poland unpartitioned and
Germany undivided.
This was revealed at an executive
session of the House Appropriations
Committee when representative of the
State Department asked for funds to
open five new consulates in Poland and
nine in Germany.
Among the consulates under the juris-
diction Of Ambassador Arthur Lane, the
State Department included Lwov. One
of the members of the committee, be-
lieving that the department had made
a mistake, pointed out that this an
cient Polish town was situated east of
the Curzon Line, an area which has
been coded by the Polish government to
the Russians.
The official replied that so long as
treaty defining the new map of Europe
has not been concluded, the State De-
partment, regardless of whatever COM
mitments the Chief Executive may have
undertaken. could not recognize Off
cially the boundary changes in Europe
For this reason the prospective Lwov
consular district must be considered
from the administrative point of view
as dependency Of the Warsaw and not
OF the Moscow Embassy.
At the same session, the matter of
opening the consulates in Germany
came under discussion. Among nine
consulates scheduled to be opened under
the jurisdiction of American military
authorities, the State Department in
cluded those at Breslau and Stettin.
Both these cities and surrounding areas
had been considered since the summer
OF 1945 as Polish land. They were
coded to the Warsaw government by the
conquering Red armies as a reward for
the loss OF Eastern Poland.
When the State Department spokes-
man was asked about this matter he re-
piled that as in the case OF the lost
Polish territories the American Govern
ment cannot take cognizance officially
OF bilateral agreements and, until a
peace treaty has been formally signed by
all parties concerned, it is compelled to
consider these large Prussian cities as
part of the Reich.
The State Department appeared to be
less sure Of its ground later, when a
member OF the Appropriations Commit
tee, as an afterthought, called up and
asked how he was supposed to address
a letter to the American consul at Stet-

InexCuSable Delav
By George Fieldinp Elioi

The delay in appointing the American
delegate to the United Nations Atomic
Commission Is inexcuSable.
More than seven weeks ago Con jan
uary 81, to be exact Secretary of State
Byrnes was saying in London that the
world would never understand any pro-
longed argument or delay in setting up
the Atomic Commission. The other dele
gates seemed to agree with the Secre-
tary. The commission was created with
remarkable celebrity and comparatively
little pickering. There was general
recognition of the vital importance, to
every one, of getting on with the job of
bringing atomic weapons under control.
But the Atomic Commission is not
functioning, hasn't even begun to
function,
Why?
Because the United States, which has
the bomb, has not appointed its repre-
sentative. The other powers, with the
exception Of Britain, hesitate as to
whether to appoint politician, a
scientist or a military man until they
see-from the American action-on what
basis we are going to approach the
subject.
So after using so much pressure for
speed, after insisting on the urgent
priority to be given this task--and very
rightly-we have now let seven weeks
go by without taking the first essential
step ourselves: without appointing the
American representative on the Atomic
Commission which may we'll determine
the future of mankind, for good or i'll.
Secretary Byrnes was right in saying
that the world would not understand
long debate and delay in taking action
on this vital matter by the United Ma
tons Organization. But it Is even more
certain that the world does not under
stand the long debate and delay in
American action to implement the
process which Americas representative
urged SO strongly upon our associates.
In fact, there seems little doubt that
this delay is increasing the already dan
gerous conditions of international ten
sion and suspicion.
There is no real reason for it, either.
The ostensible reason is the struggle
now going on in Congress over the do
nestle control of atomic energy, which

LOSING q Friend

It is regrettable that Hatton w.
Summers, chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee, has decided
not to seek reelection this fall.
Mr.. Summers, who has represented
his Texas district in the House since
1918, has been an effective and fear
less champion of the causes in which
he believes, and it is safe to say that
no man in either branch of Congress
has fought harder against the steady
growth of Federal power at the
expense of the States and the
individual.
AS far back as 1889, Mr.. Summers
was warning that democracy in this
country had only a 5000 chance of
surviving" At that time, however,
he expressed confidence that 1--WE
are going to win" In 1943 he said
that the States had been "all but
reduced to governmental vassals."
And in 1914 he warned that 1--WE in
America are drifting away from our
democratic form of Government to-
ward some kind of totalitarian gov
eminent, and doing it with great
rapidity."
When he announced last week his
decision to retire, he made it clear
that his views on this subject had
not changed. Asserting that the
Federal Government had become
ian fundamentally of favoritism,
tyranny, oppression and corruption"
he said that he was leaving the
House so he could devote all of his
time to speaking before civic and
patriotic groups in an effort to check
the trend toward Capitalization Of
power. Whether this can be done
Is doubtful, for the pattern of "big
government" has become deeply
impressed on this country. But If
any one is well qualified by expert
ence and conviction to make the
fight, that person is Mr.. Summers.
His departure from Congress will
constitute a particularly heavy loss
to the people of Washington, for
Mr.. Summers, with Senator Capper,
has devoted a great deal of his time
and energy to the effort to secure
suffrage for the disfranchised resi-
dents of the National Capital So
far, this effort has failed. But thanks
to the untiring work of Mr.. Summers
and his associate in the Senate, the
business of the Districts appeal has
been firmly established, and there
is good reason to believe that, in
time, the pioneering work which
has been done will bear fruit.
