Let Bod Enough Alone

What induced the District Com
missioners to resurrect the long
dormant proposal to permit stand
up drinking at local bars is mys-
terry that so far they have not seen
fit to explain. Inquiry at the Dis
trict Building discloses that the
opinion of the District Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board wes not
sought before Corporation Counsel
West was instructed to seek REIN
PRODUCTION of the controversial
"stand-up" bill. The board in the
past has gone on record against the
measure.
Whether the ABC Board would
again oppose the bill is yet to be de-
termined. There have been changes
in the membership since last the
question was considered and it is
reported that opinion is divided.
But the board and the citizens gen.
orally certainly are entitled to be
heard on such debatable proposal.
AS Wilbur La Roe. jr.. former
member of the Parole Board. COM
mented in a letter to The Star, the
question is not so much whether
man can get drunken sitting down
or standing up" as whether Wash
ington wants to return to the brass
rail system of barroom drinking.
In his proclamation repeating pro-
hibition President Roosevelt urged
that mo State shall by law or other
wise authorize the return Of the
saloon, either in it's old form or in
some modern guise."> The proposal
for stand-up drinking is thinly
disguised proposal for the return of
the saloon in modern surroundings.
It's chief effect would be to increase
the amount of "on the premises"
drinking. According to the statistics,
we already have a volume of that
sort of drinking in Washington
which is too. high already.

be legitimate political tactics to allay
fear of Communist coup d'etat, but
its effect upon Frances military ef-
ficiency remains to be seen.
The MRP's chief plum is the Min
istry of Foreign Affairs, which goes
back into the hands of Georges
Bidault. That, however, introduces
an element of uncertainty in French
foreign policy, since Bidault does not
follow Leon Blum's ideas on the
handling of Germany and an Anglo
French alliance. In that lattersmat-
ter, he may expect support from the
Communists, though for very differ
ent reasons from those of the MRP.
Such is the general setup under
which the Ramadier cabinet begins
it's existence. Despite initial express
sions of harmony, it is well to re-
member that, under the Third Re-
public, the life of cabinets averaged
slightly less than one year.

an all-powerful state. And now labor
will scream when the state sues for q
divorce.
The most comprehensive picture OF
what the Wagner Act means and what
should be done about it is small book,
Industrial Peace and the Wagner Act"
Theodore R. Iserman is the author, and
Leo Wolman has contributed some fine
common sense in a foreword. Iser-
man points out specifically how the
Wagner Act has promoted industrial
war, not peace.
*A ~
In particular, Mr.. Iserman points out
that there should be changes In the act
to limit strikes to the issues worth
striking about and to stop penalizlng
employers when their employees engage
in unlawful strikes. He contends that
the board should no longer be investi-
gator, prosecutor and judge: that man
agerial employees should be free to man
age: that workers should not be
lnionized against their will, nor should
they be represented by people they do
not choose; that unfair union practices
by unions should be defined and pro-
hibited; and that, if necessary, monopo-
listic union power should be curbed by
a refusal of the NLRB to recognize any
unit which includes employees OF more
than one employer.
The Iserman program, if adopted IN
Its entirety, would be going too lar. But
his specifications might well provide
useful means of selecting those aspects
of the act which cry out for revision.

a ban on special committees. but
this was eliminated In the House bill
and in the final conference draft.
The way thus was left open for
appointment Of special committees
when considered advisable. Frequent
recourse to this method of inquiry
could, of course, nullify the whole
committee simplification program.
Fortunately, the debate over the
War Investigating Committee re-
vealed strong opposition to return
to the old practice Of appointing
special committees at the drop Of a
hat. In this connection Senator
Taft introduced resolution that
has considerable merit. 1t would
put curb on creation of additional
special committees by giving stand
ing committees veto power over such
proposals. Whether such veto power
should be absolute or merely sdvi-
sorry is debatable. In either event
the "stop, look and listen sign
would be out against unrestrained
multiplication of special committees.

Busic Issues Undecided

1t is clear from the debate and the
eleventh-hour maneuvering that the
Senate showdown on extension Of
the Senate War Investigating Com
mittee was more an initial test of
political strength between Senate
Republicans and Democrats than a
decision on basic issues originally
raised over the extension proposal.
The final vote-reflecting narrow
margin of victory for the COP
cannot be said to settle the special
committee question as far as future
policy is concerned. Nor did the
result hinge on whether or not there
should be a further probing by
Republican Congress of the affairs
of a Democratic administration.
Democratic Senators repeatedly
emphasized that they had no desire
to "cover up" the past. They avowed
they were not objecting to further
delving into "bygones" by one of the
new standing committees. They
were against continuance of spe-
cial committee, contrary to the
spirit" of the congressional reor-
ganiaztion law. AS a matter of
fact, the defeated Tydings proposal
for transfer of the War Investigating
Committees powers to the regular
Committee on Executive Expendi-
lures would have meant little if any
change in the conduct of the inquiry
itself. The standing committee
presumably could have made full
use of the special committees staff
and records.
Yet there is little basis for the con-
tention that extension of the life of
the War Investigating Committee
violates the intent of Congress in
passing the Reorganization Act. 1t
is true that the Senate bill contained

French Cubinetwork

The French cabinet just completed
after much arduous effort and many
back-room conferences is a piece
of political furniture built on the
familiar Third Republic style. 1t is
an intricate balance of parties and
groups, put together with more
regard for parliamentary voting
strength and personalities than for
common agreement among the con-
stituent factors. The undoubted
skill evinced in the building makes
the finished product look rather
we'll. The test will come with in
evitable parliamentary wear and
tear. Only then will we know
whether the cabinetwork is solid
or whether, being jerry-built, 1t will
soon go to pieces.
The first thing to note is that this
cabinet at least conforms to parlia-
mentary practice, in that 1t COM
mands decisive overall support in
the Chamber. All groups of any size
are represented, with the exception
of the conservative extreme right,
which is believed to share General
de Gaulle's fundamental criticism OF
the new constitution and the Cham
ber's status hereunder.
The next noteworthy fact is that
the new cabinet is not made up
proportionately to the strength OF
the participating groups. Not only
Is Premier Ramadier Socialist but
his followers are given share
larger than their party's size in the
Chamber would numerically war
rant. This is, in part, tribute to
the prestige of the preceding stop
gap cabinet of Leon Blum, which
made a notable record in its short
span, Notwithstanding its essentially
unparliamentary character. 1t was
an all-SocialiSt cabinet functioning
in Chamber wherein the Socialist
Party took third place and was thus
In a perpetual minority.
1t is around this dependable
Socialist core, aided by the other
middle of -the-road group, the mis-
named Radical Socialists, who are
really old-time liberals, that Premier
Ramadier will try to hold in line
those mutually antithetical partners,
the Communists and the MRP. It
is significant that the key Ministry
of the Interior, which controls the
police, goes to Socialist, while an
other key ministry, that of National
Defense, is denoted by splitting con-
troll over army. navy and air. The

This Changing World
By Constantine Bro,cn

The Communist victory" in the Pol
jsh elections closes one phase-and q
regrettable one-in the American Brit
isl1 effort to introduce little freedom
and democracy behind the iron cur
tain" The Moscow puppets were tri-
umphant, after campaign which saw
them use every device of terror and
suppression against the Polish Peasant
Party of Stanislaw Mikolajczyk.
Where do we go from here? The
Potsdam agreement has been stultifled
and the repercussions will be felt for
many years, not only in Poland's inter-
national condition. but in international
affairs as we'll What little liberty has
remained in Poland under the rule of
the Communist dominated government
will not last long, it is believed by Wash
ington officials, and even more severe
repression of the opposition is to be
expected
Mr. Mikola jczyk will certainly not re-
main in his present position as Vice
Premier, position which he was given
as grudging concession by the Warsaw
regime to the demands of the Western
Allies that the opposition have some rep
resentation in the government.
President Boleslaw Beirut and Pre-
mier Edward B. Osubka- -Morawski and
their entire provisional government will
resign soon, giving way to a permanent
government founded on the more than
400 seats which the Soviet henchmen
have given themselves in the new Par
lament. What the composition of that
government will be requires no clair
voyance.
The election really changed nothing
in Poland, except that it satisfied in
form the persistent demands of the
United States and Britain for a govern
ment based on popular expression of
will. The popular expression was so
distorted by outright Communist terror
and timidation-including fiat ex-
clusion of the Polish Peasant Party in
number of districts-that the result
bears no resemblance to political facts
in Poland.
The Polish Communists have come
through for their Moscow masters and
produced regime on which the Krem-
lin can count. The Poles now are try
ing to collect on that obligation and
will know, during the course of this
spring and perhaps summer, how far

them being that Poland's permanent
western frontier be the Oder-NeiSse
River boundary which was established
in the Potsdam agreement as q tenn
porary line.
There was nothing in the decision of
the Big Threes last meeting to indicate
that this 10000 square miles of purely
German territory was to remain per-
manently Polish and when former Sec
retary of State Byrnes delivered his
clear that the United States did not
accept the Potsdam line as final.
Poland's claims to this part of East
ern Germany rest on the most fragile
basis. It is not traditional Polish
area by any means, but has been an in
tegral part of Germany. It does repre-
sent some spoils of war, and even that
would not be too Objectionable if it were
not for the fact that Poland wants this
part of Germany simply as compensa-
ton for the territory which she gave
Russia by accepting the Curzon line for
the Russian-Polish frontier.
4 -
If the Curzon line had any merit at
all. and it has been widely credited
with being the nearest thing to an ethnic
line that could be drawn between Poland
and Russia, it did not need any COM
pensation for Poland in the west. Civ
ing Poland the large slice Of German
territory which lies east of the Oder
Neisse line would only sow new seeds
of conflict in Eastern Europe when the
day comes that the Germans are able
again to raise voice in world affairs
The United States, for one, has set
itself against the Oder -Neisse line for
Poland in the meetings of the Deputy
Foreign Ministers in London and the
coming sessions of the Foreign Min
listers themselves in Moscow The Rus
slams, of course, will move heaven and
earth to gain for their stooges the
frontier they demand. The Oder River
the Poles blatantly proclaim, has al
ready become a Polish river, implying
thereby that everything east of it
has become Polish, too.
If Poland had conducted a free and
unfettered election, as the United States
and Britain demanded in three notes,
there might have been some basis for
an appeal to the Western Allies in the
final settlement with Germany But it
will not be consonant with the aims and
purposes Of the western powers to per-
NIT Polish Communism to expand at the
expense of a natioh-defeated though it

With new proposals for labor legis-
Iation in every days headlines, the on
locker is likely to believe that revision
of the Wagner Act is only one OF the
many tasks before Congress. But 1t
should not be forgotten that the Wag-
ner Act itself has brought about ma
tional demand for relief. Almost every
inequity which moved people to vote
for a change stemmed from that act.
Almost every current proposal for new
laws could be satisfied by a Wagner Act
revision. Our labor problem is Wagner
Act problem.
The Wagner Act, in its explicit pro-
visions and in the countless decisions
of the NLRB, has created not only a
legal prison for management, but po-
tential one for labor. Wise people
pointed out, when the act was passed,
that labor would live to regret its vora-
cious appetite for law. For what has
made management captive might, un-
der certain conditions, make labor
captive, too. Labor in reaction may
be "hoist with his own petard." The
broad terms of the act, with certain
changes, could conceivably sweep away
all that labor has gained in 30-odd years.
The NLRB could, if its present tyran-
nical power were administered by en-
emies OF labor, destroy the labor move
ment.
This situation illustrates the fallacy
of Wagner and others when they estab-
lished q partnership with government.
The state is faithless and dangerous
protector. For governments change
with tickle majorities. There is no tyr
amy like that of the majority. Conse-
ouently, the wise trainers of the
American Constitution conceived Of law
not as a means of benefaction and privl-
lege, but as means of keeping govern
ment from crushing the individual.
Messrs. Roosevelt, Wagner and others
thought they knew better. The found
ing fathers, to these rulers Of brave
new world, were old fogies. When
Roosevelt told the press about horse
and buggy" days. the Wagner Act was
before Congress. Papa knew best: Gov
ernment was the way to freedom. But

Why Not Find Out?

Chairman Wiley of the Senate
Judiciary Committee and Chairman
Dirksen of the House District Com
mittee have taken the initial steps
toward consideration of voting rights
for Washingtonians. Senator Wileys
committee has the Capper resolution
for national representation; Mr..
Dirksen has said that he hopes to
get agreement on some proposal for
"home rule" and has appointed a
subcommittee to. look into it.
Both of these gentlemen are
friendly and sympathetic. But in
stead of tackling the question of
voting from two directions, why not
find out what the people who live
here really want and then combine
all forces to obtain what they want?
On last election day some 10000
Washingtonians turned out and
voted overwhelmingly in favor of the
right to vote. But the questions
were necessarily generalized-"Do
you want the right to vote for
officials of your own city govern
ment in the District of Columbia" ?"
and "Do you want the right to vote
for President of the United States
and for members of Congress from
the District of Columbian" There
was an overwhelming Eyes" on both
questions, although opposition was
more marked as to the first than to
the second.
It would be helpful if there could
be an official referendum on the
precise meaning of obtaining "the
right to vote for officials of the city
government" and the right to vote
for President and our own repre-
sentatives in Congress. The first
right is available through legiSla-
ton; the second right is dependent
on a constitutional amendment. #
the first right means surrender by
Congress of its control over the Dis
trict, or even substantial division
of control, The Star doubts that it
would gain local support or that it
would have any chance in Congress.
There is much greater support for
the constitutional amendment, leav-
ing control of the Federal City by
Congress unaffected while extending
representation in their government
to qualified residents. An official
referendum on both issues, ordered
by Congress, would resolve all doubts,
both as to demand for voting rights
In Washington and the manner in
which the majority prefers to exer-
else those rights.
