New Crisis in Italy

Premier de Gasperis resignation brings
into the spotlight of interest Italy's mount
ing crisis. This crisis is much more than
a parliamentary furry. 1t is even more
economic and psychological in character,
and goes down to the very roots of Italian
national life.
The Premier's action was caused by the
detection of the Socialist members of his
coalition cabinet Since his resignation
was voluntary and not the result of vote
of confidence in the Assembly, President
de Nicola has asked the Premier to remain
in office on a provisional basis. But the
rift between him and the majority
Socialist Party continues And since the
Socialists are closely allied with the Com
munists. there would seem little chance of
following the French example and rebuild
ing centrist cabinet from which the Com
munists are excluded.
That is merely one of the differences
between the Italian and French political
situations. Basically. the problem is the
same: How to maintain democratic par
liamentary regime in the face Of en
aggressive Communist minority. But in
Italy the problem is much graver and more
complex than it is in France. Italy is
economically PROSTATE, saddled by the
terms of an onerous peace treaty that
outrages public opinion, psychologically
abased by defeat in war, and barely con-
valescent from the prolonged Fascist die
tatorship.
The upshot of all this is that, in Italy,
the roots of democratic self government do
not run deep, while extremist passions are
intense. Extremisms of every kind tend to
flourish in an atmosphere of hopelessness.
desperation, and destitution. The recent
elections in Sicily showed strong leftist
trend in what had been regarded as
rightest stronghold. That leftist trend
was accompanied by sharp decline in
the strength of the Christian Democrats,
who correspond to the Popular Re-
publicans in France and who have hitherto
functioned as sort of balance wheel. If
these tendencies continue, the general
elections next October might result in a
Communist dominated leftist majority op-
posed by rightest minority, both factions
being so mutually irreconcilable that civil
war could result.
The best hope of averting such catas-
trophe lies in economic betterment and
financial stabilization But neither is
likely without large-scale foreign aid. And
the only source of such assistance appears
to be the United States. At the present
moment, an italian financial mission is in
Washington to see what can be done in
the shape of credits, loans, and emergency
food shipments to ameliorate the acute

Iynchina Triul

Whether the thirty -one white men now
being tried in Greenville, South Carolina,
for lynching Negro will be convicted IS
a matter which remains to be determined
and which presumably will be governed by
the nature Of the evidence against them.
There is significance however, in the mere
fact that this prosecution is under way.
The defendants, all taxi drivers, lynched
the Negro last February after he had been
arrested as suspect in the murder OF a
white man who was also taxi driver.
When the local authorities appeared dis
inclined to press an investigation OF the
lynching, the Governor OF the State
stepped into the picture and, with the aid
of the Federal Bureau OF Investigation,
apprehended and brought charges against
the suspects now on trial. incidentally,
the States case is said to rest principally
on alleged confessions made by some OF
the accused, and this, too, Is an unusual
aspect of lynching trial In the South. At
the least, 1t indicates that this inyeSIiga-
ton, in contrast to most, was conducted
vigorously and with determination to
treat lynching as the crime that it is.
It is possible that this case and the
manner of its handling will have national
implications. Repeatedly, but without sue
cess, attempts have been made to get
through Congress Federal antilynching
bill. The constitutionality of such law
would be doubtful, however and moreover,
the Southern contention has been that the
States would deal adequately with lynching
If the Federal Government kept hands off.
It is a fact that lynching has been on
the decline. There were seventeen lynch
ings in 1925, eighteen in 1885, five in 1912,
three in 1943, two in 1914, one in 1s45. and
six in 1946. This last figure includes the
four Negroes who were killed in Georgia
when one of them recognized member
of the mob. This decline in the number
of lynchings heretofore has not been
accompanied by more vigorous prosecu-
tions It may be, however, that the cur
rent proceedings in Greenville herald a
welcome change of Southern attitude in
this latter respect.

The Senote Labor Bill

House members of the Labor Legislation
Conference Committee will be wise not TO
insist on major changes in the Dill
approved by the overwhelming Senate
vote of 68 to "a. II there are no such
changes, then it may be possible to effect
long needed reforms in the field OF indus
trial relations. Otherwise, although IL is
admittedly hazardous to speculate on this
point, the probability is that there will be
a presidential veto and not enough votes
to override 1t.
AS it stands, the Senate version may or
may not be acceptable to the President.
But If the conference committee agrees on
something very much like it, and If he then
yetoes it, it will still have chance OF
becoming law. At any rate, twenty-one
Democratic Senators have Joined the Re-
publicans in the more than two-thirds vote
approving the measure, and there seems
good possibility-again assuming no major
change in conference that enough OF
these will hold fast to defeat a veto should
there be one.
Moreover, wholly apart from this practi-
cal parliamentary consideration, effective
ing nature of the House labor bill. In
several respects-notably its ban against
industry-wide bargaining-it goes much
further afield than the Senate version. on
course, time may prove that some OF lts
features-now rejected by the Senate-are
desirable. At the moment, however, they
are open to serious question and might
better be deferred for further congressional
study. After ALL they can be adopted later
If experience shows they are sound.
Actually, as far as obviously needed re-
forms are concerned, the Senate and House
versions are virtually identical at many
points. To begin with, they have the same
basic objective-namely, to serve the COM
mon welfare by bringing about a fairer
balance of power between labor and man
agement. They would do this by curbing
national paralysis" strikes, banning jurls-
dictional strikes and secondary boycottss
and setting up numerous other provisions
to check union excesses and increase union
responsibility in line with majority Amer
ican sentiment.
Given the Senate bill in substantially
its present form, there would be at least
a possibility of putting these changes into
effect even If the President should decide
on veto. The same cannot be said of the
House bill. In the circumstances, it will be
surprising if the conferees do not COM
promise accordingly.

Letters to The Star
School Board Row

More on Arlington CClOOl DOdTO AOW
To the Editor of The Star:
The so-called Greater Arlington Association"
is quoted in the press of May IL as referring to
the Citizens Committee for School Improve
ment as synthetic movement" This indeed
is an odd charge to be made by group whose
resurrection was surrounded by such peculiar
circumstances.
The Greater Arlington Association" was con-
ceived in secrecy, fostered by the school admin
istration, nurtured by "slush funds" and Is
dedicated to the proposition that Arlington
voters cannot be trusted to have voice in the
education of their own children
This association is the only group besides the
Arlington Education Association to oppose
change from the present method OF selecting
the school board. This is the same group which
planned to hold secret meeting at Thomas
jefferson Junior High School on March 81.
(See Arlington Sun, April A. However, num-
ber of unlimited citizens, hearing that there was
to be talk in public building opposing the
changes made possible by the school referen-
dum came to the meeting. 1t was reported by a
number of eyewitnesses that the school super
intendent, the assistant school superintendent,
at least three principals, and former member
of the school trustee electoral board were
among those present. At,the appearance OF the
uQlnVlIGQ guests, Stfcld al VI WliOAA WChS US1i-
known proponents of change, the school su-
perintendent and the assistant school super
intendent left the building. The formal meeting
was adjourned within few minutes after 1t
was convened 1t was reported that handful
of the invited guests then adjourned to q
classroom and continued their deliberations
without benefit of light while confederate
stood guard at the door. An observer who was
nresent remarked to a friend "I wouldn't have
believed 1t, If hadn't seen it"
Shortly thereafter it was reported by the
press that "slush fund" was being raised to
fight a more democratic selection OF school
board members. After this fact became public
information, it was admitted by the Greater
Arlington Association" that 1t was soliciting
funds from businessmen for campaign to re-
tain the present method OF selecting the
school board. eThe present method is for the
5-man school board to be selected by 3-man
school trustee electoral board, which in turn Is
selected by the circuit court judge, who himself
is selected by the majority caucus in the State
Legislature.)
Peculiarly enough, this front" organization
which opposes giving the voters voice In the
selection Of the school board refers to the Citi-
zens' Committee as being "undemocratic" Ap-

zens' Committee with all the attributes OF which

Abiquil Adams

The Library of Congress, as announced
by DR.. Luther H. Evans, has acquired one
hundred and twelve letters written by
Abigail Adams, wife of the second President
of the United States and mother Of the
sixth. This means that the greatest bibli-
ographic establishment in the world has
added to its treasures series OF docu-
ments rejecting the mind and the heart
of one of the truly great women of her
time. She was not only the first mistress
of the White House. Much more important
than her social leadership in Washington
at the start of the nineteenth century Is
the fact that she was a co-founder Of a
dynasty of public servants and scholars
whose contribution up to and including
the present day has been an asset to the
Nation.
Mrs. Adams began her career as a
daughter of Congregational minister at
Weymouth, Massachusetts,. Her ancestors
were Quincys, Nortons and Smiths, all
prominent in New England affairs in the
Colonial period. She grew up in the tradi-
ton of the stock to which she belonged.
But, since her health was Indifferent, she
never was sent to any school," Possibly
that circumstance represented an advan-
tage. BY her fourteenth year she was
talented and experienced correspondent.
At twenty she was married; decade later
she was managing her husbands Iarm,
taking care of his business interests and
exercising a considerable political inf1u-
ence as well as discharging the duties OF
two parents to her four children. The
Revolution as she beheld 1t from the slopes
of Penn's Hill was just as much real
war as anything that has happened since
It was accompanied by epidemics which
caused as much or even more suffering. !

Justifyinq His Signature

President Truman's message to Congress
on the portal pay legislation was so
phrased as to make it plain that he was
neither defending himself nor apologizing
for having signed the bill into law. He
stated frankly his concurrence with Con-
gress that such a measure was urgently
needed to clarity the uncertainty" raised
by the recent billion-dollar flood OF
portal pay suits-an uncertainty that was
threatening to affect the economic stabil-
ity of the whole country.
Mr.. Truman let it be known in no un-
certain terms that he does not share the
fears of labor leaders and, ewithal, of his
Secretary of Labor as to the possible
"crippling effects" of the legislation on
administration of the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act. He is convinced that the main
purpose of the act is to eliminate the
immense potential liabilities" which have
confronted industry as result of the orig
inal judicial action in the Mount Clemens,
Michigan, pottery case. Nor is he persuaded
that an ulterior purpose OF the law is to
enable unscrupulous employers to violate
the wage and hours standards or to open
the way to the lowering of these standards.
With respect to the latter fears, freely
expressed by union critics of the bill during
it's consideration at the Capitol, the Presi-
dent, in effect, has suggested that The
critics examine the legislation little more
closely From his own study of the various
provisions, Mr.. Truman came to the con-
clusion that Congress has taken the pre-
caution of inserting reasonable safeguards
against abuse of the act at the expense
of workers.
Mr.. Truman points out that the law
contains new and possibly ambiguous LAM
guage" which, in the end, may have to be
interpreted by the courts. If these inter-
pretations indicate the need for further
legislation to clarity the statute and to
obviate undesirable effects not intended
by the authors of the law, that democratic
recourse is open. A veto based on vague
fears or on charges impugning the good
faith of Congress in Overwhelmingly pass
ing the portal legislation would have been
wholly unfair and unjustiied.

More .Thon Chority

The SenateS near-unanlmouS vote 1oI
the 5OO00,OO0 foreign relief bill IS IN
keeping with the urgent realities OF our
time. The House has not shown the same
awareness When 1t acted on the measure
a fortnight ago. it cut down the projected
outlay to 5000, ,000, 900. This was meant as
an economizing move, but 1t was il-con-
sidered. It was taken at the expense OF
peoples sorely in need of our help In Europe
and Asia. More than that, strictly from
the standpoint OF American self-interest,
it ran counter to our vital policy OF acting
afflrmatively against conditions that invite
the spread OF communism.
Happily, now that this highly important
legislation has gone to a conference COM
mittee for compromise, the House can
correct itself by agreeing to restore all or
most of the cut it made. In voting seventy
nine to four for an outlay of $350, ,0O0, ,000, the
Senate has not acted impulsively. 1t has
acted in full realization of the fact that
this civilian relief is desperately needed.
Hunger and economic stagnation are wide
spread abroad, and large-scale American
help Is indispensable. Without 1t, social
and political unrest must continue to grow.
without 1t, In both Europe and Asia, re-
sistance to the advance OF Communist
totalitarianism must be weakened. In
short, it is something we must undertake
not merely because of our relative abun-
dance and traditional humanitarianism,
but also because it serves our own long
term interests in much the same way as
does our special program of aid to Greece
and Turkey.
The House has approved the Greco.
Turkish bill. II it is to be consistent, its
conferees should now 60 along with the
$3.50, 100000 foreign relief measure. More
than Christian charity is involved. Studded
with safeguards against misuse, this legis-
lation, besides being designed to succor the
stricken, may be. regarded as one OF the
key parts Of our overall international
policy. Economy moves ordinarily merit
high praise, but to pinch pennies here Is
to save falsely. The House will be undoing
a serious mistake If it bows to the position
taken by the Senate.
