The unlikeness of Spirit is matter, and the opposite of the real is not diyine-it is a human concept.

How Not to Hold Congressional

hearing where the Forest Service
had its hands tied behind its back
while some Of the ardent advocates
of selling of the public domain were
invited and encouraged to slug away
even below the belt at times"
Lack Of Dignity, Fairness"
Says the Grand Junction Senti-
mel: "The general public had la
bored under the impression that
congressional hearings were for the
purpose of establishing facts and
hearing testimony from all sides in
volved in a controversy worthy Of
congressional consideration. But
the total lack of dignity and fair
ness that characterized this hear
ing .. disillusioned any neutral OBJ
server as to the real purpose OF the
hearing as staged in Grand juno
tion." ,..
Arthur II. Carhart attended the
Grand junction hearing for the
Izaak Walton League. A few ex-
cerpts from his report: "At the
opening Of each Of these meetings
Representative Frank A. Barrett,
Wyoming's lone Congressman and
chairman Of the subcommittee,
launched into q shouting. fist-
clenching outburst that was in
temperate in language and at times
reached screaming intensity.
Never at any time or any place
have I heard such use Of distortions
such deliberate bias and unfairness
such unbridled attacks on fellow
citizens, or such misuse of position
by a Representative of our Congress.

artillery supplies.
This decision, it is assumed, was
made outside the State Department,
in keeping with our wartime pledge
to our Chinese ally. The Wede-
meyer report not only criticizes Chi
nese ofacialdom, but also contains
comprehensive suggestions that we
help the Nationalist forces in thelr
struggle against the Communists
lest the Reds take over not only
Manchuria and Northern China, but
also the coastal areas on the Yellow
and China Seas. Such Communist
success might have serious reper-
cussions on our global strategy
which now receives priority consid-
Grafton in the newly created Ma
tional Defense Establishment.
"Top Secret" Not Explained.
No plausible explanation is given
as to why Gen. Wedemeyer's report
is being concealed from the public.
Gen. Wedemeyer was not sent on
secret mission. He was sent openly
to study conditions in China, and a
fanfare of publicity accompanied
him and his staff of economic, in
dustrial, agricultural and scientific
experts. when they went to the Far
East last July.
The brief explanation from the
State Department that publication
of the Wedemeyer report might
cause international embarrassment
hardly explains why the report was
classified "top secret" In a state
ment issued at Nanking before re-
turning to this country, Gen. Wede-
meyer bluntly criticized the nisdeeds
of some Kuomintang officials.

This Changing World
Public's Confusion on U. S. Foreign Policy
Seen Due to Mishandling of Reports

According to reports received in
Washington from those who at
tended Gen. Wedemeyer's confer
ence with members of the Execu-
tive Yuan, at which the general
spoke with characteristic bluntness,
his subsequent statement to the
press must have undergone some
"doctoring." Criticisms of Kuomin-
tang ofhcials-particularly in the
provinces-were pointed up in the
statement, and equally severe de-
nunciations of Communist actions
appear to have been watered down.
This method OF handling the re-
ports of impartial American inves-
tigatprs abroad is partially respon-
sible for q certain amount Of con-
fusion in the American public mind
about our conduct of international
affairs.
Ethridge Mission Recalled.
In 1946 Secretary of State Byrnes
sent Mark Ethridge, the liberal
newspaper publisher, to investigate
the application of the Yalta and
Potsdam agreements in Bulgaria
and Romania. He IS said to have
found the situation so contrary to
what it should have been, accord
ing to Soviet pledges, that resump-
tion of relations with those satel-
lites of Russia would have been un-
justified.
Because Mr.. Byrnes had some
ideas Of horse trading with Russian
Foreign Minister Molotov at the
foreign ministers meeting in Mos
COW, the report Of the Ethridge in
vestigation, like the Wedemeyer re-
port, was classified "top secret" and
joined other similar documents in
the State Departments steel safe.
An official blackout enveloped the
reports from the Balkans. Only oc-
casionally, through some coinci-
dence or indiscretion of returning
officials, did the public learn some
thing about conditions in those
countries.
There is every justification in the
world to keep certain official docu-
ments away from public gaze dur
ing a shooting war. It is equally
justifiable that at certain stages Of
international negotiations matters
should be kept confidential. But 1t
is not justif1able to order a veil Of
secrecy around reports from officials
who are openly sent abroad to study
and recommend the manner in
which the taxpayers money shall be
spent.
