The late Cardinal Mundelein was known as
Mr.. Roosevelt's closest confidant among the
Catholic hierarchy on matters of domestic poll
tics, IN distinction to Cardinal Spellman
through whom. chiefly, Roosevelt dealt with
the Pope respecting international issues.
1t is remembered, for example, that Roosevelt
took time out to lunch with Cardinal Mundeein
on the day OF his famous Quarantine of
fascism" speech at Chicago in 1887 but the
luncheon was attributed at the time to uproar
among Catholics over the appointment of Hugo
Black, an alleged Ku Kluxer, to the Supreme
Court, rather than to the international situation
g. Roosevelt confirmed the congressional be-
lief that official as well as personal files are
in the Hyde Park lot, when he wrote:
"In all of the papers which are to be turned
over to the library from my personal files or
from nonpersonal official files, there will be
some which should not be published until a
lapse of certain length of time and which, in
the meantime should be put under seal /. =
I should judge that the average length of time
OF sealing should be from 10 to Is years, but
there may be some which should be sealed for
as many as so years" =
1t is the assumption, thus clearly expressed
that retiring President has right to seal up
iiohApci isoAal' oAucIaI 1nes except as parts OF
them may be released by purely personal
executors, that has aroused Senator Ferguson
Republican, of Michigan and other congress
sional investigators.
Particularly, in the Pearl Harbor probe, leads
drawn from other sources again and again
wound up at White House dead-end, due
to the making of decisions in conferences with
President Roosevelt as to which records, II
they exist, are bottled up.
Senators Ferguson and Brewster, Republican,
OF Maine now are setting out to determine by
decision of the Supreme Court finally, the
extent to which Roosevelts last testament
as to his papers, official and nonoficial, can
defy congressional subpoena.

Why Clayton Came Home

high authority says that the reason Under
secretary OF State Clayton was called back so
suddenly from the International Trade Con-
ference in Geneva was to lead the administra-
ton fight against the powerful wool tariff drive
in Congress.
This drive centers behind a bill to authorize
the Secretary of Agriculture to impose a .fee"
OF up to so per cent of the value of imported
wool and wool products
Clayton and the administration were repre-
sented as feeling that passage of the bill would
wreck their hopes of reducing trade barriers

MacArthur Told to Aid Japanese InOrganizationof Their Own Unions

WASHINGTON, D. C. = Direc- lions have been issued by the Far East el Commission under which Gen Dougl~o Macarthur is instructed tc encouragy Japanese workers to banC together in trade unions to build "s peaceful and democratic Japan" a, well as improve their working con ditions.
 Workers organizations with "mi1i- tarist, ultra-nationalistic, fascist ol other totalitarian aims" are banned under the directive adopted by the commission representing the United States and 10 other allied nations in terested in .the Pacific.
 The trade union directive asserted rights of workers to organize should be protected by law, with trade un- ions having rights of free assembly speech and the press and access tc broadcasting facilities.
 It called for mediation and arbitra- ton machinery be set up by the Japanese government for dealing with industrial disputes that cannot be set tied by direct negotiation between the unions and employers.
 Strikes would be prohibited under the directive only when they would directly prejudice" occupation ob- jectives.
 The directive stipulated that unions should be allowed to take part in po- litical activities and support political parties, as we'll as be encouraged to promote adult education and under standing of democratic processes"
 It provided that union officials should be elected by the workers "by secret ballot and democratic methods, , with records of union income and ex- penses available for public inspec- ton.
 The commission said the three di- rectives were adopted at its meeting on December 6. They were made pub lie after transmission to Gen. Mac Arthur.
