When Mr.. Wallace took to the

he was only putting himself in a

Hays Fails to Answer Ernst Plea to End
Secrecy in Fund.Seeking Organizations

! Now, by the very nature Of their
claims, all moneys collected by Or
ganizations from the people are
trust funds. Men properly are sent
to prison for violation of trusts held
within the financial framework Of
the Nation. The law forbids political
contributions by corporations or
other groups whose funds are de-
rived from stockholders. Yet no
controls-even the control Of pub
licity-govern the use of funds col
lected by hundreds Of other organi-
cations. Many Of these contribu-
tions are tax exempt on the ground
that they are educational" or
Charitable" though their "educa-
ton" may be political propaganda
and their charity devoted to political
objectives.
Secrecy on Fund Uses.
Quite apart from the possibilities
which secrecy offers subversive
groups. the public-it seems to me
ought to know what proportion OF
its contributions, in each case, goes
to charity, to the advertised bene-
flciaries and what part goes to over
head. In many cases the public
would be surprised, I think, to know
how much Of its charity goes for the
support Of highly paid executive sec.
retaries and public relations coun-
sells. There is at least one organiza-
ton operating in the domain Of pub.

Mr.. Hays says, Legislation that
would strip from political and eco
nomic organizations the right to
operate anonymously would hinder
democracy by discouraging freedom
OF expression" If q man were forced
to put his opinions on the public

it might be dangerous TO hold un-
popular opinions and would create
timidity.

What MIR. Ernst is trying to get at
is the habit of such organizations
as the Communists and Fascists to
mask their aims under front" Or

for one cause while diverting their
support to another.
Mr.. Ernst believes-and SO do I,
on the basis Of q huge amount Of
circumstantial evidence-that peo-
pie are contributing to communism,
for instance, who have not the
slightest sympathy for the Com
munist program but wish to de-
fend human rights in specific in
stances. Mr.. Ernst maintains that
people have a right to knowledge.
Actually, the problem goes far
beyond possibly subversive organiza-
tions. Hundreds of millions of dol
lars are collected from the Amer
ican public for which no accounting

This Changing World
Ambassador Cafery May Be Scapegoat
In Dulles Mystery Meetings in Paris

The news correspondents were
given an additional flll-in on con-
ference developments and were able
to include in their cables the infor-
nation that French Foreign Min
lister Bidault, who is expected to re-
turn from Paris today December
-, knew of Mr.. Dulles plans and
presumably cleared the way for the
American delegate" This further
confirms the belief that Mr.. Dulles
visit to Paris had been carefully dis
cussed by the American delegation
and was described as personal"
merely to avoid giving the impress
sion that the American delegation
in London was taking an undue
interest In the French strikes.
The meeting between Gen. de
Gaulle and Mr.. Dulles raised a
storm, not only among the Com
munists in France but in Moscow
as we'll. The Moscow radio started
on Sunday-and continued through
out this Week-violent attacks on
the representative of Wall Street" :"
who is Gen. Marshall's chief ad-
wiser" 1t emphasized the fact that
he had a talk with the "Vichyite-
Fascist de Gaulle.'
Talk Held Unavoidable.
It Is true that Mr.. Dulles talked
at length with the wartime leader
of the French resistance, but this
was unavoidable. Gen. de Gaulle
has become a political figure as a
result of the October municipal
elections, in which he won about
40 per cent of the popular vote.
Under such circumstances it was
impossible for fact-finder to
ignore Gen. de Gaulle.
1t appears, however, that the Com
munist lambastings have worried
some of Gen. Marshall's advisers
in London, who regarded the Dulles
conversation with the principal op-
ponent of communism in France as
a faux pas which might add to the
difficulties of the London negotia-
tions.
In the absence Of any authorita-
tive information, 1t is presumed that
these advisers convinced Gen.
Marshall that Mr.. Dulles had gone
farther than had been anticipated,
that he had not used good judg-
ment and that some indirect dis
avowal should be made.
Only one Of the three news serv-
ices carried the story that Mr..
Dulles would receive an off-the-
record verbal spanking from the
Secretary of State. What happened
is, Of course, a secret shared by only
few in London. But 1t is known
in Washington that up to Wednes-
day Mr.. Dulles had given the
American delegation in London no
report of his talks with French
political leaders.
Meanwhile, since Mr.. Dulles Is
not a government otflcial, and as a
prominent Republican leader can
not be fred, oficial wrath is being
focused on Ambassador Caffery.

faces. This Is an experience which
American politics shows has unbal-
anced many a stouter realist than
Henry. peas leftist pressure upon
him-which Mr.. Wallace In past
times, as a cabinet member, recog-
nized and rebuffed-has been adroit
and systematic.
Everywhere, in politics, in labor
unions, in professions, the far left
Is being driven to the wall, the
cleavage deepening between left and
right. Mr.. Wallace, Of course. is al
ways tossed to the left. It would be
difficult for him to avoid 1t even II
he tried hard. He will hardly try
while President Truman presses the
Marshall plan, which Mr.. Wallace
abhors.
Mr.. Wallace will have a magic
issue-peace However wrong he
may be, Henry believes 1t, and he
will not have too much trouble at
tracing many well-meaning people
in addition to his self serving Com
munist adherents. Republicans be-
lieve that, if he can carry only 10
per cent Of the vote for a third
party in '4S, victory is theirs.
Democrats, already drawing the
Communist line against former far
left allies in New York and else
where, can be expected to use every
resource to fasten that label upon
the third-party effort. The matter
is critical for the President. Should
a third party led by Mr.. Wallace
materialize, 1t would profoundly dis
hearten the local organizations,
which would, If history Is q guide,
devote themselves to their local
tickets on the theory that the top
Of the ticket was lost anyway.
Pea accomplished It's Chicago
coup by reason OF judicial elections.
With great care they contrived a
slate Of judges headed by two ex-
cellent, widely known men and
baited them with q voice for every
minority-a woman, a Pole, a Negro,
labor union member, etc. They
got 10000 straight votes for their
ticket; their top men polled 500, 900.
The Democrats are the more
downcast as their prospects Of car
rying Illinois in '48 have appeared
good. The original Wallace threat
in California is laundering but ILL.,
nois more than makes up for It.
