Mr.. Nathan'S Consistency
By Raymond Moley

That has been abundantly cared for by
others. The point I made and that
want to reinforce, once more, Is deeper
question of economic philosophy and
political policy.
The basic theory behind the views Of
Mr.. Nathan as a public official and, later,
as a CIO consultant is what may be
called the theory of the average" 1t
was the firm intention Of many people in
the second and third Roosevelt terms to
enforce uniform regulations relating to
wages, prices and profits upon whole in
dustries and series of industries. This
was advocated in the name of high
sounding objectives such as the public
interest and the elimination of booms
and busts. The CIO being vertical
and inter industry union obviously be-
neved in this theory.
The result of such theory, enforced
by government sympathetic to 1t.
would be the rapid extinction Of small
business and the ultimate consolidation
Of all private business. 1t would mean
the end of competition and free enter
prise Marxists have always predicted
the death Of small business as a step
in the evolution toward socialism.
It was this drift OF the New Deal
toward coINctivism and its political al
lance with the CIO which ultimately
lost it the public favor 1t enjoyed in
earlier days. And one of those who was
chiefly instrumental in that movement
was Mr.. Nathan himself. 1t is the very
fact that he Identifies the public interest
with the interests of the CLIO which
made him, in my opinion, an unfortu-
nate choice for high Office In govern
ment. That is what said In my earlier
column and that is what still believe.
Government should and must avoid
the Identification Of any special interest
with the public interest. It must be
above and beyond all pressure groups.

Claims on Anturcticu

The veritable rush of expeditions
to Antarctica actually under way or
projected for this antipodean sum-
mer emphasizes the general increase
of interest in that remotest and most
inhospitable part of the globe. 1t
should be understood that Admiral
Byrds squadron, though the most
elaborate, is only one of several
expeditions from various countries
slated to do exploratory work and
likewise to strengthen claims to
Antarctic territory.
Unlike the North Pole region which
is mostly water, the South Pole area
is covered by vast continent with
an estimated area of close to 3,000,-
600 square miles-approximately that
of the United States. Antarctica, as
this continent is aptly named, is for
the most part a great plateau aver
aging between 1000 and 10000 feet
in height and traversed by mountain
ranges of even higher elevation. That
accounts for the extreme cold which
there prevails, much severer than in
the Arctic, resulting in the burying
of virtually the whole of Antarctica
beneath huge icecap extending for
the most part out into the surround
ing oceans. Only at two or three
points do deep indentations of the
sea permit relatively sheltered land
ing places whence the towering ice
barriers can be scaled.
Until recent years, interest in Ant
arctica was purely scientific. A gen.
Grafton ago, the South Pole was dis
covered and since then efforts have
been made to study weather condi-
tions and find out the nature of the
rocks of which the continent con-
sists. The existence of coal deposits
proves that this superfrigid region,
which today supports no land ami
mails and virtually no vegetation,
once enjoyed tropical climate.
Those same geological studies like
wise indicate the probable existence
of mineral wealth similar in variety
and abundance to that found in the
famous ''pre-Cambrian shield" of
the Dominion of Canada.
One of those hypothetical minerals
is uranium, the scarce source of
atomic energy. And it is that hy-
.pothesis which inspires most of the
present competitive exploration, to-
gether with attempts to establish
claims to possession of definite
areas. International usage has re-
quired that discovery should be fol-
lowed by continuous possession in
order to validate claims. And such
possession was, until recently, i'm
practicable in Antarctica. Britain
has done so since 1943 in Graham
Land, the coastal sector of Ant
arctica opposite the tip of South
America, while New Zealand has
established intermittent possession
of a large sector around the Ross
Sea, on the other side of Antarctica,
due south of New Zealand. Other
claims have been filed by Argentina,

Service Center

Modern war undoubtedly is a
horror. But it does produce mu-
tuality and fellowship among all
classes and conditions of people.
The United Nations Service Center,
for example, was something more
than just hostelry for military and
naval personnel. From October 27,
1943, until it closed at noon today,
it operated under the direction of
the War Hospitality Committee.
Three and a half million men in
uniform and their immediate de-
pendents came and went through
its doors. The average guest needed
the courtesy, the practical aid, the
cooperation the center afforded.
Some Of the members of the staff
were veteran employees OF the
Capitol Park Hotel when the Federal
Works Agency acquired the property.
They stayed on as living links with
the established past. Two thousand
different volunteers Joined them,
contributing sixty thousand tours of
duty on a twenty ty-four-hour basis.
The variety of services rendered
ranged from the ordinary lodging
provisions of civilian stopover to
shopping, mending, infant nursery
care, legal advice and guidance
Recreation Services, Incorporated,
was the management unit. The
entire enterprise was planned to
show neither profit nor loss. It was
a balanced activity in the mathe-
matical sense of the phrase.
Naturally, the center had its full
quota of problems week by week,
month by month. 1t met the de-
mands made upon it quietly,
efficiently, successfully-because, as
a bystander said, Everybody pulled
together" So it will be remembered
essentially as friendly place. The
local community owes all concerned
a vote of gratitude for mission
completed with distinction.

Robert r. Nathan, principal author
of the much discussed CIO report on
wage policy, has written to me, objecting
to a criticism of him published in this
column two weeks ago. My point in
that column did not concern the de-
tailed contents of his report, but the
fact that Mr.. Nathan, as public official
a year ago, and Mr.. Nathan, as a con-
sultant for the CIO, held identical views.
Because of the prominence of Mr.. Ma
than, that identity goes a long way to
prove that, to an increasing degree, the
Roosevelt Administration came to repre-
sent the policies of a single pressure
group and not the general public inter-
est.
This identity of viewpoint, Mr.. Ma
than does not deny. He says: 1T so
happens that I undertook this study
for the Congress of Industrial Organi-
cations because it is my belief now, as 1t
was year ago when was in the Gov
ernment, that the welfare of all our
people necessitated the kind Of eco
nomic policies which would help avoid
imitation and defation. You state IN
your column that the report on which
I worked while in the Government rep
resented special pieaolng ratner tnan
dealing with facts. Actually both re-
ports are related to a public interest" )"
y y X
Mr.. Nathan then summarizes the pur-
pose of his report: st is our belief that
the present. situation carries within it
the germs of a recession with unem-
ployment, bankruptcy and business
losses, rather than continued profits.
s* The danger to our democratic free
enterprise system lies in such resigna-
ton Ito inevitability of boom and bust)
and think even former liberals would
understand the threat to our freedom
which arises out Of recurring depres-
sions."
It was not my intention In the earlier
column to debate the Nathan report.

On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

States plan? It is not violated. The
Americans submit for unanimous accept
ance, certain basic postulates; a treaty;
an international controlling and inspec-
tion force; swift and inexorable punish
ment for violators-an violators, includ-
ing, should occasion arise, the United
United States.
We insist that no treaty Qaw) has
reality unless 1t provides means of en-
forcement, and request nations to make
law which, once being made, they must
stand by under all circumstances.
But the U. S. S. r. insists that though
1t will agree to law no sanctions, what
ever they may be, shall be applied If
any power refuses to accept judgment
and desist. It interprets the veto to be
the right to nullify the legal results of
violation. That is what it calls "unanim-
ity." And the result is that no interna-
tional law to control mass destruction
can be made.
Unfortunately, the issue is beclouded
by some Of our own publicistS. Thus
Time recently commented:
This (Mr. Baruch's obstinacy) gave
the Russians, at least, some slight
ground for yelling atomic blackmail.'
Baruch did nothing to improve the at
mosphere by harping on punishment
for punishment is not diplomatic
word t" = and in the context not real
istic. - = If nation is immoral enough
to commit major violation, it Is prob
ably immoral enough to refuse punish
ment." "A
Now the atomic bomb is not diplo-
matte word" either, but real and
terrible thing. And it is odd to suggest
that a penal code is "unrealiStic" be-
cause criminal who may violate it re-
sists accepting punishment. Provision
for punishment is, on the contrary ex-
actly what makes any penal code real
istic."
So when Mr. Baruch used the word
punishment" he said exactly what he
meant and exactly what had to be said.
1t is the crux of the matter. The argu-
ment of Times writer is that nothing
can be done against a resistant violator.
If that is true, let us abandon as farce
all attempts to create collective guar
antees, and substitute law for interna-
tional anarchy. A treaty or law which
any signatory reserves the right to
nullify, without punishment in his own
case or in the case of an ally or satellite,
is no law but just another of those
worthless scraps Of paper with which
history is strewn.
The statesmen of the United Nations
have been charged by the worlds peoples
to see that international relations are
conducted under law. That is the sole
purpose of the United Nations. Law
which is not enforceable is anti-law.
That punishment is correlated to crime
In the basis of all law. Any denial Of
this primary thesis is double-talk.

BiIbo at the Door

Although this should be Repub-
lican day on Capitol Hill, as the
COP returns to power after an ex-
tended stay in the political doghouse,
the center of the stage will be held
by a discredited Democratic politi-
cian-Senator Bilbo of Mississippi.
The Republicans have announced
that they intend to "stop Bilbo at
the door," and Senator Taft says
that they have the votes to deny
the Mississippian his seat. Whether
this is done, however, will depend
upon a number of factors, including
) the real intent of group of Demo-
cratic Senators who have limited at
a filibuster to stall off a vote on the
seating of their colleague.
There is no doubt that the Senate
has ample authority to refuse to seat
Senator Bilbo. Nor is the justiflca-
ton for such action open to serious
question. An investigating group
composed of members of the Sen
ate's War Investigating Committee
has reported that Senator Bilbo used
his office and the political influence
that goes with it for personal gain
in dealings with war contractors.
And the evidence, despite denials by
Senator Bilbo, strongly supports the
committees conclusion.
Hence, the single question before
the Senate is whether 1t wants to
close its eyes to the Bilbo record,
or whether, in the interests of clean
government, it will bring the Bilbo
case to a vote and decide the issue
on it's merits.
It has been said, and it is entirely
true, that the Senate is the sole
Judge. of the qualifications OF its
members. In the past men with
records worse than that of Senator
Bilbo have been seated; other men
with less against them have been
denied their seats. So there is not
a great deal in the way OF precedent
to serve as a guide in this instance,
All that can reasonably be insisted
upon is that the question of seating
the Mississippi Senator be brought
to a vote so that each member OF
the new Senate can have opportun-
ity to record his judgment. If this
is not done, If the Bilbo issue is
lodged or sidetracked by tactical
maneuvers, the Eightieth Congress
will not have begun it's session in a
manner calculated to inspire conf
dence in it's capacity to face the
more important issues that will con-
front It in the months to come.

Chile, France and Germany, while
even Soviet Russia is furnishing up a
claim based on explorations made by
Russians in czarist times. Our own
government takes the position of
refusing to recognize any of these
claims or formally to assert it's own,
though we have informal" interests
in Little America" and Marie Byrd
Land, in the Ross Sea region.
Here is conflict of legal doctrines
and viewpoints which. though obvi-
ously of scant practical Importance
at the moment, may become more
than academic in the near future,
especially if uranium deposits should
be discovered.

In the answers which Premier Stain
addressed to questions asked him last
September by the Moscow correspondent
of the London Times, he said:
ID "I do not think the atomic bomb
to be as serious a force as certain poll
ticians are inclined to regard it 1t
cannot decide the outcome of a war;"
CD "Monopolistic possession cannot
last long"
90 "Use of the atomic bomb will be
prohibited"
Answers 2 and are interesting-but
tantalizing. Mr.. Stain said in effect
that the Soviets would get the atomic
bomb and then its use would be abol-
ished. The question left open was: By
what means? That great question has
never been answered by Premier Stain,
nor by Mr.. Gromyko.
The United States has stockpiles of
bombs. We do not know whether they
could determine the outcome of any war,
but we do know they are apocalyptic
weapons. We do know that scientists re-
sponsible for the epochal discovery (not
politicians took the lead in warning
that limited world government is es-
sential for the survival of the human
race.
The United States has, therefore, pro-
posed to destroy its existing stock piles
and refrain from further manufacture
of these and other mass destruction
weapons in return for guarantees that
all other powers do the same. The United
States conceives minimum guarantees to
consist, first, in an international treaty,
forbidding the manufacture of bombs;
second, in the creation of an interna-
tional authority under the treaty to set
up worldwide control of the sources of
atomic energy and worldwide inspection
of it's uses; and, third, provision for i'm
mediate sanctions against treaty vio-
lator.
This Is the most radical move ever
made by great power, particularly be-
cause that power uniquely possesses the
weapon to be eliminated and the techni-
cal equipment to maintain its lead in
mass destruction weapons for long
time to come. The strongest power thus
offers to place limitations on its own
strength and relinquish what has always
been considered a right of national
sovereignty, on basis of exact equality
with all other powers.
Furthermore, capitalist" and Gre
dictionary" power, as modern left-wing
semantics has it, has proposed what
amounts to national and international
socialization of the raw material which
promises to be the basic source of in
dustrial energy in the future.
On what does this epochal proposal
bog down? 1t bogs down on the re-
sistance of Soviet Russia. What does the
u. S. S. r. resist? What Mr.. Gromyko
extolls as the principle of unaminity."
Is that principle violated by the United

If Uncontrolled

With the new year Americas
gigantic and awesome nuclear-f1s-
sion project, with all its personnel
and physical facilities, has been
turned over at last to civilian con-
troll under the young and prece-
dent-setting United States Atomic
Energy Commission. But at this
juncture it's primary significance is
still military, and military it will
remain until the world commits it
self, under a system of genuine guar
antees eliminating Ioopholes and
vetoes, to develop this revolutionary
power solely for peaceful purposes
for the tremendous potential good it
can do mankind.
At the moment, and as long as its
effective international control is
lacking, we must think of the atom
chiefly in terms of its terrible ca
pacity for evil. We must think of it
as a killer that Is far more deadly
today than it was when it laid waste
Hiroshima and Nagasaki and brought
instant death to scores of thousands
of japanese. An authoritative-in-
deed, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of
this point has just been made by
John J. McCloy, former Assistant
Secretary of War. Writing in the
current issue of the Infantry Jour-
nal. on the basis of his own official
experience and matter -of-fact talks
with the scientists who planned and
made the first A-bomb. Mr.. McCloy
solemnly asserts that with mechan-
ical reflnements we can expect
tenfold increase in the power of our
present atomic explosives. Further,
he makes clear that those same
scientists think it wholly conceivable
that in the not-too- distant future,
by working with hydrogen and he
lium. we may be able to produce
destroyer one thousand times more
powerful than Hiroshima's and
Nagasaki's.
This is a prospect that speaks
pretty much for itself. Right now
the United States has exclusive pos
session of nuclear power, but the
basic knowledge about it is shared
by physicists everywhere. We have
certain secrets" but eventually,
whether we reveal them or not, they
will become known to all countries
of consequence. Accordingly, as our
ission project passes to the control
of our own civilian Atomic Energy
Commission, its fearsome military
implications underscore the uniquely
urgent nature of the task confront
ing that other and more fateful
Atomic Energy Commission-the one
organized by the United Nations for
the protection of the world. Lacking
success here. we shall have the
deadliest ornaments race of all time
"a race toward the suicide4of civili-
zation. The fact is so obvious and
dreadful that the thought of failure
seems almost uncomfortable.

Another I Chose Freedom

Another recruit has joined tnaI
group of Russians who have abjured
their allegiance to the Soviet Union
and explained their action in terms
of scathing condemnation of the
present Soviet regime. This latest,
instance is one Kiril M. Alexeiev,
member of the Soviet Embassy staff
in Mexico City. Slated for recall to
Russia, via the United States, Mr..
Alexeiev took advantage of his tenn
porary sojourn on our soil to repudi-
ate his official status and take refuge
with his family in an undisclosed
hideout.
The statement just issued by him
tallies closely with those given out
by his two best-known predecessors.
One of these, Victor Kravchenko,
has elaborated his reasons in a book
lentitled "I Chose Freedom" which
for many months has been a non
fiction best seller. The other, Igor
,Gouzenko, came to public attention
when he furnished the Canadian
,eoyernment with the information
which resulted in the uncovering OF
the Soviet spy ring in the Dominion.
We thus observe three identical
cases of Soviet officials on diplo-
matte assignments in Mexico, the
United States and Canada. respec-
lively. Although their environments
were widely different. each of them
came to the same conclusion: That,
after experiencing the freedom OF
the New World, the totalitarian
tyranny of their Russian homeland
had become intolerable. Another in
teresting similarity in these cases
is that, so far as known, none OF
them was suspected by their imme-
diate superiors. Their decision was
reached after prolonged heart
searching, kept strictly to them
selves. They all profess patriotic de-
votion to their homeland and accuse
the Stalinist regime of having per-
verted the original aims of the revo-
luton and of reducing the Russian
people to the most odious servi-
tude. enforced by terrorism. which
is generally abhorred by its helpless
victims. They likewise unanimously
warn the western nations of the
sinister designs entertained by Mos
COW for world domination.
These recent instances, arising
from what appear to be largely
theological motives. may. be con-
trasted with a series of cases before
che last war, most of which occurred
In Europe during the great Soviet
.'purges." In those cases. the inn
.pelling motive seems to have been
