WASHINGTON -- There have
been angry mutterings in the
cloak rooms before, but there
are now for the first time real
signs of a serious rebellion
among Senate republicans
against Senator Robert A. Taft's
leadership of the Senate MAORI
ty. If the rebellion materializes
it will center, of course, around
the price issue. For number
of Senate republicans are max
ing no secret of the fact that
they regard Senator Taft's root
and-branch opposition to the ad-
ministration program fo r infla-
ton control as b a d politics if
nothing worse.
The revolt is still in the talk
stage, and it may never crystal
lie into action. Yet already
close observers of the Senate
scene are beginning to tick off
the names of those republican
Senators who might be expected
to defy the powerful Taft. High
est on the list are the names of
two freshmen from New Eng

land, Ralph E. Flanders of Yer
mont and Raymond Baldwin of
Connecticut. Already they have
outspokenly criticized what they
regard as Taft's negative ap-
proach" to the price issue.
Baldwin and Flanders might
well be joined by at least four
other N e w Englanders, Massa-
chusetts' Senators Henry Cabot
Lodge and Leverett Saltonstall,
Vermont Senator George Aiken
and New Hampshire's Senator
Charles Tobey. Tobey has al
ready summed up his own atti-
tude towards the price issue in
the phrase damn the torpedoes
and full speed ahead;;" an ap-
proach which seems to indicate
something less than full agree
ment with Senator Taft.
This hard core of Ne W Eng
landers may well be reinforced
by a scattering of recruits from
elsewhere. The perpetual NAV
erick, Senator Wayne Morse of
Oregon, although an outcast
from the party councils, is ex-

Feel Each Other Out
By PETER EDSON

WASHINGTON, - A great dip
lomatic game of Feeling Each
Other OUT is now in progress
among representatives of the 21
American republics, meeting
here in Washington at the Pan
American Union.
The Latin-American countries
are anxious about the Marshall
Plan, and apprehensive lest the
United States become so involv.
ed in saving Europe and possibly
China that she may neglect her
good neighbors to the south.
It's too early to tell what may
come out of these meetings.
Opening in mid-November, they
will run for another month. They
are officially designated as meet
ings of the Inter-American Eco
nonic and Social Council. They
are preliminary to the ninth Pan
American conference at Bogo-
ia, Colombia, scheduled for ear
ly 1948.
At Bogota, it is hoped that an
organic pact for Latin-America
will be approved. This will be a
Western Hemisphere charter.
The Bogota pact will assign
definite duties to the Union, the
Council of Foreign Ministers a
the Pan American Conferences.
Special agencies will be set up
to handle financial, economic,
social, juridical and military Sc
curity relations between the
American republics, and with
corresponding agencies of the
United Nations.
After the Bogota pact is ap-
proved, conferences of all these
special agencies will be called to
carry out the work assigned
them. The present meetings of
the "Pan-Am. Ec. and Soc.
Council" as it has been nick
named, look ahead to these con-
ferences, later in 1948.
There has been some gossip
that the current closed meetings
are for the purpose of drawing
up a Marshall Plan for Latin
America" but that is reliably
reported to be a little premature.
None of the Latin diplomats or
technical experts has come right
out and said what his country
does want.
The only real idea anyone
seems to have had so far is
Colombia's proposal, before the
UN, for a S. billion International
Bank for Latin-America, set up
under the World Bank to finance
development in the Western
Hemisphere. But this is all very
vague.
The southern republics, for
their part, would like to have an
idea of how far the U. S. is

lWllllng to 60. And y. 5. repre-
sentatives are apparently listen
ing for hints of how big a touch
the others have in mind.
The World Bank now has on
file applications for a $208 mil
lion loan for Mexico and a SAC
million loan for Chile. Export
Import Bank recently granted
Mexico $50 million. These are
straws in the wind.
From a perfectly hard boiled
point of view, the trouble with
all this chatter is that it sounds
a good bit like old proposals to
set up another lending institu-
ton with this country furnishing
the money and others furnishing
the management - one deposi-
tor and 20 withdrawers.
That situation may be a little
different now. The Argentine
government seems to be lousy
with money and feeling chesty
about it and may emerge as a
creditor nation.
Behind all this jockeying there
are some real problems. All Lat
in-American countries want to
buy machinery from the U. S.
During the war they all built up
good dollar credits, but they
couldn't buy then, because all
U. S. production was going to
war.
When the war was over, they
began buying and ordering
too fast. Now most of them
have put curbs on buying to save
dollars. It is to the interest of
the U. S. that they do this-first,
to reduce inflationary demands,
and, second, to keep financially
healthy, themselves.
There is now said to be new
feeling of responsibility in all the
Latin American governments.
They want to develop their own
industries. They want to produce
more materials to sell to
the U. S. and more food to sell
to Europe.
Private capital investment of
the right kind would be welcom-
ed, if the bad loan practices of
the 1920's could be left out. Ruth
less exploitation of natural re-
sources by foreign capital isn't
wanted, either. The Latin coun-
tries want to own and operate
their own utilities.
But the big thing the Latins
seem to want is some form of
regularized financial backing,
government - to government
What the U. S. government ne
gotiators have to figure out is
what they can get out of such an
arrangement in raw materials
Ivitally needed by this country, to
make it a two-way trade.

Works In Charlotte;
Why Not Here?

The declaration that the New Hanover
County ABC board has not discussed the
proposition of keeping one liquor store open
after o'clock pm. is to be regretted.
Certainly the proposal ought not to be
IGNORED by the board. Rather 1t deserves
to be carefully studied and its advantages,
as demonstrated in Charlotte, investigated.
Nothing is to be gained by passing II
by, whereas adoption might prove to be
in the interest of the public welfare, as 1t
assuredly would strike an effective blow
at booticgging which thrives after the ABC
stores close.
Whatever ones individual attitude to-
ward drinking may be, it remains tact
that persons who want drink WILL get
it, by legal means if possible and If not
by the only alternative available, from a
bootlegger: a transaction which not only
deprives the community Of revenue but also
makes the purhaser law-breaker.
At this tirne of year motor parties spend
the night in Wilmington, en- route further
south Many arrive after the ABC stores
have locked their doors. After long days
drive they frequently crave an appetizer
ana plCkeI-up De1OIc Suppel, allA PSAAA0P
a nightap later. Their only means OF ap-
peasing their thirst is to seek an illegal
purveyor. Too often the re: 1T is consump-
ton of something invariably of doubtful
merit, with the deal surreptitously COM
pleted in dark corner.
This southwark hygera will continue un-
til spring, with an inter.nission during the
holidays, and be resumed in the opposite
direction throughout the spring. 1t brings
dangerous and unwanted prosperity to a
breed of law breakers and disregard of
lav generally.
Much OF this illegal traffic could be stop
ped, we are convinced, if the ABC board
kept at least one Of its stores open until
8 o'clock, or even o'clock, at night. By
staggering it's staff's hours of service this
might be done without imposing additional
hardship upon clerks.
It works in Charlotte. Reasonably it
would work as well in Wilmington.

Revolt Is Brewing

pected to support a positive
price program on the Senate
floor. Another probable recruit
to the rebels is Senator John
sherman Cooper of Kentucky.
Cooper has told intimates that
he is convinced that the republi-
can record on prices was direct
ly responsible for the recent re-
publican debacle in Kentucky.
Senator Arthur V. Watkins of
Utah has also amazed his col
leagues by proposing govern
-ment purchase of the entire
wheat crop, proposal which
goes beyond anything contained
in the Truman program, and
which was greeted with horror
in the Taft camp.
Other possible recruits for the
republican price rebellion in
clude the able Senator Irving
Ives of New York, and Senators
William Knowland of California,
Edward Thye of Minnesota,
Alexander Smith of New Jersey,
c. D. Buck of Delaware, and
Zales Ecton of Montana. Ecton,
a member of the price sub-com-
mittee for the west, received a
vivid object lesson in the mean
ing of the price situation from
his daughter and son-in-law, who
were trying to live on the West
Coast on $4,000, year. Finally,
Senator Arthur Vandenberg of
Michigan might move quietly
into the rebel camp. Vandenberg
will never trespass openly on
Taft's domestic policy bailiwick,
but he too has undoubtedly
heard from industrial Michigan
echoes of the mounting anger
about prices. And he is in bet
ter position than most to judge
what five dollar wheat might do
to American foreign policy.
This Ii sting is, of course,
largely speculative. Yet if even
a dozen or so Senators openly
defied the Taft leadership on the
price issue, that would amount
to the first really serious break
in republican Senatorial ranks.
The episode of last weeks re-
publican conference illustrates
why such break is now a seri-
GUS possibility.
At this conference t hi Flan-
ders Baldwin group urged that
the price issue would certainly
decide next years election, that
the republicans must avoid
whiting down on the
Truman program, and that they
must emerge instead with pos
tive republican program. Taft
seemed to agree. Yet immedi-
ately after the conference, he
announced his intention to whit
tie away still n other Truman
item, that calling for controls on
the feeding of high-priced cattle.
Hard feelings resulted, and they
have not been soothed by an edi-
torial in 'The Republican News,
written by fatuous republican
chairman, Carroll Reece. The
editorial is captioned, "a Cop in
Every Kitchen" and it consists
of furious semantics about "to-
