and the Chicago Daily News. "Your
people still look to Europe. This is
wrong. Every nation in the Western
Hemisphere can and should look to
Its own artists for new and vigor-
Gus expression Of the spirit of these
countries"
Such views admittedly are nation
alistic. BUT are they on that account
necessarily deplorable? The answer
would seem to be: No. Greece has
a right to be proud of Euripides and
Phidias, Rome of Horace and Vergil,
Italy of Dante, Germany OF Goethe
and Wagner, France of Moliere and
Millet and Rodin, England OF its
Stratford Bard and Defoe and Chris
topher Wren, Russia of Tschaikowsky
and Tolstoy and Anna Pavlova.
Certainly America owes as much to
its own Dalis and Shostakoviches,
its own Russell Flints and Eric
Coateses as it does to the foreign
creators who are their active COM
petitorS.

More on O'Daniel's Apartments
To the Editor of The Star:
Senator w. Lee O'Daniel has intro
duced bill to abolish rent ceilings. The
personal origin Of this bill in sheer
hostility ought to defeat it by unanimous
vote. The Senator has just moved into
his remodeled 14-family house at lis
Second street NE, which has re-
manned vacant for nearly two years
after dispossessing the blind and the
aged. Except for his own occupancy, 1t
still is vacant. In court he defeated
the tenants on the specious plea that he
wanted all IA apartments, IA baths and
IA kitchens for the use OF his family
and in-laws. The court said that since
occupancy by his own family was in
tended there was nothing else to do but
decide against the tenants. Now those
tenants are watching that apartment
house to note what other purposes than
tenancy by in-laws it may be put to,
and I am violating no confidence by
saying that If the former tenants find
that the Senator imposed upon the
court they are going to take proper
measures. A movement so antjsocial
as removal Of rent ceilings is fittingly
spearheaded by an O'Daniel

and London. the impasse between
Soviet Russia and the western
powers, over the Polish, issue and
the Yalta principle, seems to be
complete.
Just what the western powers pro-
pose to do about it is not yet known.
Logically, 4 withdrawal OF their cur
rent provisional recognition of the
Warsaw regime would be justified.
Yet the repercussions of such drastic
action on the whole diplomatic pic
ture may well incline Washington
and London to some middle course,
such as continuation of the limited
recognition that now obtains. Ger
tainly Anglo-American acquiescence
in the Russo Polish thesis and full
recognition OF the Warsaw govern
ment would spell a diplomatic +capit-
ulation Of the first magnitude.

On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

against participation in the London
Conferences was supported by only III
out Of 375 delegates. While 1t drew more
votes than other resolutions, it did not
obtain real majority.
But it was this resolution that decided
DR.. Weizmann to retire from Office. A
resolution for participation obtained
154 votes. A second group of pro-
Weizmann votes, rs in all, was dissipated
because it was cast for third resolu-
tion. The merger Of the rs and the
154 would have defeated the American
sponsored resolution against participa-
ton. Had DR.. Weizmann been placed
as. candidate before the Congress,
think there is no doubt that an over
whelming majority of the delegates
would have been for him.
Unfortunately it was the Americans
who SO maneuyered it that this clear
issue of leadership was never placed
before the Congress. Instead, provoc-
atiye resolution was put on the agenda
whose passage, as they foresaw, de-
cided DR.. Weizmann against seeking
office.
point this out to show that there is
substantial evidence that the Zionist
movement as a whole has not for
saken the course symbolized by DR..
Weizmann, which has been always to
defend, never to agrees 1t was only
technical victory for the militant"
forces. Actually, three-quarters of the
members Of the new Zionist Executive
were members Of the Weizmann ad-
ministration. Only one-quarter are
"Activists."
Quoting Jeremiah's words to Zedekiah.
DR.. Weizmann warned the "Activists"
Of great and tragic parallel in ancient
Jewish history and counseled them to
return to moral force as the founda-
tion Of the fight against British policy.
For DEATH" he quoted 'is come up into
our windows, it Is entered into our
palaces; to cut of the children from
without, and the young men from the
streets"
I cannot, therefore, believe that the
Zionist movement has been finally de-
rallied from its historic course. The
fact that even the so-called Activists
now seem ready to participate in the
London Conference seems to indicate

believe that all those interested in
the problem Of Palestine should bear in
mind that there is only one Wei1mann.
Further Illustration, added anguish for
the Jews, may undermine the moral
position of this great leader. consume
the noble ideals of the movement, and
make it prey to influences which would
imperil all that is involved in Palestine.
And Palestine is not an island unto
itself, and, as DR.. Weizmann has re-
peatedly warned, what happens to the
Jews is usually forecast of what hap
pens to the world.

Biaots and Grass Roots

freSlQeut 4TuMdu ldS OAcI Gu 6OOu
advice to his newly organized Com
mittee on Civil Rights. Fearing
tendency toward a serious revival OF
bigotry and intolerance in this coun-
try, he has called for action to head
it off. To this end, he has directed
the committee, together with the
Attorney General. to determine just
how far the Federal Government
can go in coping with the problem.
But most of all he has emphasized
chat the corrective program must
begin at "the grass roots, in the
hearts of the people themselves.
AS far as specific measures are
concerned, the President wants leg
islation to implement the Bill of
Rights. He wants the Federal Gov
ernment to protect all individuals,
of every race, creed and color, in the
enjoyment of those rights. He wants
it-if the Constitution permits-to
move in and take action of its own
should State or local authorities suf-
fer an occasional breakdown in law
enforcement and fail to offer that
protection. At the same time, how
ever, he realizes that this approach
can accomplish little unless Ameri-
cans in all sections live up to the
best traditions of America-to the
decent, unbigoted principles that
give true substance and meaning to
our free way of life.
At "the grass roots, in the hearts
of the people themselves"-that is
where the mean, the ignorant, the
ugly and frequently brutal forces of
bigotry can be best fought. Federal,
State and local laws, and the en-
forcement of those laws, are impor-
tant; but more important still, more
fundamental, is the personal factor,
the factor of each individuals atti-
tude toward the problem. What is
needed, as the President has sug-
gested to the Committee on Civil
Rights, is not merely legislation but
a vigorous educational effort to
spread a livelier appreciation of the
basic tenets of our American system.
Given that, given conversion in the
mind and heart, then real headway
could be made toward having those
tenets practiced everywhere as well
as preached .-..-.
