Congress because of the ever
present threat of Senate fllibuster.
It was because of this threat that
Senator Smith administered his
sleeping pill. The bill, Of which
he is one of the authors, was favor
ably considered last summer by a
subcommittee of the Labor and
Public Welfare Committee, of which
he is a member. But when it was
proposed to make favorable report
to the full committee, he suggested
delay for further study. What he
wanted studied was an amendment
that would permit any State to
exempt itself from the enforcement
provisions of the act. It was his
notion that this might remove the
opposition of the Southern Sena-
tors who could otherwise be ex-
pected to filibuster, probably sue
cessfully, against the bills passage.
Storm Of Protest.
The immediate effect was to delay
action by the full committee until
January at the earliest and also
to bring a storm of protest down
upon the New Jersey Senator's head.
Attorneys for the various organiza-
tions seeking antidiscrimination
legislation agreed that the proposed
amendment would make the law, If
enacted, not only futile but uncon-
stitutional.
Senator Smith has now allowed
himself to be persuaded of this and
agreed to join with Senators Ives
and Murray, making a majority of
the subcommittee, in reporting the
original bill favorably to the full
committee. Senator Taft, chairman
Of the full committee, has declared
his support and likewise his willing
ness to fight any fllibuster to finish.
As reported to meeting Of the Ma
tional Council for a Permanent
FEPC by the chairman, A. Philip

Friends of FEPC Are Promised
Republican Fight on Filibuster

of Senate leader is prepared to make
discussion Of the bill an all-day and
all-night matter until a, vote is
obtained.
In the past that has been the
only way to beat a fllibuster unless
a cloture rule, limiting debate, could
be obtained. To obtain such a rule
has required a tWo-third vote, which
has seldom been possible.
However, near the close Of the
session last summer the Republican
whip, Senator Kenneth Wherry
of Nebraska, declared his purpose to
work for a change in the Senate
rules designed to put an end to the
filibustering practice. Limitation of
debate would be made obtainable by
a majority vote instead of two
thirds. Discussion with Republican
colleagues caused him to believe the
change in rules can be had.
1t Is Good Politics.
More than majority of the Sen
ate members have expressed them
oC1fCS Ill SuppOlt Va tilC GI ~ JILL.
If for no other reason, it is good poll
tics-at least for the Republicans and
for Northern Democrats. And. the
1948 campaign is getting under way.
The filibuster stands in the way
not only of the FEPC bill, but Of
anti-lynching and anti-poll tax bills.
Further, it makes possible the inclu-
sion of segregation clauses in bills
for school lunch funds and federal
aid to education, housing and health.
Republicans have made no secret
of their efforts to win back the
Negro vote in the North, taken from
them by Roosevelt. They have es-
poused most of the -discrimina-
ton legislation that has been Of
fered. But, as witness the most re-
cent elections, that hasn't been
enough. Apparently they must do
more than espouse. They must pro-
duce.
And they can't produce until they
find way to lick the filibuster.

other willing countries. to bolster
the resistance Of the Greek nationa
army.
Secretary Marshall is aware thai
the ground forces Of this country
are at a low ebb. He is worried
particularly when he looks as pro-
iessional staff officer at the battle
order of the Yugoslav and Soviet
armies. They have ground forces
vastly superior to those which the
nations outside the Iron Curtain
can put in the field at this moment.
Way to Meet Commitments.
Even If Britain, Turkey and some
other members Of the U. N. con-
sented to send troops In accordance
with the decisions of the Assembly
they would be far outnumbered by
the Reds. The only way to live up
to the commitments of the Truman
doctrine-which the President re-
iterated on December ID in connec-
ton with a threat to Italy-would
be the proclamation of partial
mobilization In this country And
this is frowned on by the politicians
who have an eye on the elections
in 1948.
Hence the first impulse Of Gen
Marshall and some of his intimate
advisers is to do nothing and watch
the future course of events. There
is a reluctance among top-level
policy trainers in the State Depart
ment to make even a strong state
nent in response to the new chal.
lenge from Russia.
I But the Secretary Of State anc
all his collaborators are aware that
political and power minded Euro
peans would interpret our silence
as an indication Of weakness. The
entire policy of the administration
to improve conditions in Europe
and keep the Russian bear in CHECK
is based on the European Recovery
Plan. Although neither the Secre'
tary OF State nor his advisers admi
it publicly, they are fully aware thai
this plan is doomed to failure if tht
Communists in France, italy anc
other Western European countrie!
are strengthened by an impression
created among the peoples IN thost
countries that America as a mill
tary power is incapable of wardine
off Russia's aggressive blows. Tht
conditions created on Christmas ev'
in Greece have as one of theiI
obiectives proving to the peoples O.
Western Europe and Asia thai
America cannot defend then
against the Kremlin's power poll
cies.
Thus, unless the American Gov
ernment is willing to honor th'
official and implied commitment
of the Truman doctrine, the crea
ton of stooge Communist govern
ment in Northern Greece may hav'
an even greater worldwide impli
cation than Hitler's actions in 1888

chairman Of a five-man Student
Committee formed to investigate tht
situation, urged the veterans to re.

school ended their program.

Mr.. Hoover said many students
have left the city to go to their
homes for Christmas. Many Of
them, the meeting brought out, are
to finish their two-year training at
the institute next June.
He said attorneys offered by vet
erans' organizations would be at

Freedom AT Last

This is a week that will live long in his
tory, for this is the week that 400, 0O0, 900
persons-one fifth Of the human race-sev-
cred the chains of imperialism and became
politically free men and women.
India, after nearly two centuries of bond
age to the British, became on Friday, August
Is, an independent nation - or rather, ma
tions, for even at the great moment of liberia
ton, India was divided in two between Hin
dustan and Moslem Pakistan.
In a world that is sick with selfishness
and corroded by a lust for power, gain, and
expansion, the granting Of independence to
India is a wonderfully welcome reminder that
man has not entirely lost his soul to Caesar.
In this moment of rejoicing for all men
who love liberty, it is worth recalling that
special recognition is due the British Labor
government, and especially Prime Minister
Clement Attlee, for that daring and vision in
freeing India at this decisive hour in world
history.
But most Of all recognition must go to a
frail little man whose great ideals and re-
fusal to traffic in violence proved stronger
and more enduring that all the weapons of
his enemies. Mohandas K. Gandhi has proved
to a world that seeks its short cuts by vio-
lence that love and pa%cifism are the surest
road to the greatest goal.

international Trade Is
TwO-Way Street

We are learning. the hard way, that inter-
national trade is a two-way street. If we
wish to sell, we must also be prepared to buy.
Our southern %neighbor. Mexico, informs
the State Department that it is going to place
an embargo on imports that will affect about
IS per cent of our commerce with that coun-
try. The reason is that Mexico is running
short Of dollars with which to pay for the
goods. We have been selling Mexico much
more than we buy and that has proven up
setting to her economy.
Virtually every nation in the world is in
much the same fix. 1t is predicted that by
the end Of this year our booming export bust
ness will be reduced by half or more.
There is a group of economists who con-
tend that our prosperity depends on our trade
abroad, but they would have a hard time
proving their case. 1t helps, Of course, and
a certain amount of this commerce is essen
tial.
But our big market is right here at home.
If Americans are steadily employed at good
wages, they can and will consume the prod
ucts of our farms, mines and factories.
Montana labor news., 1947-08-21

Trade unionists may wonder, sometimes,
why it is that so much fuss is made over high
prices so long as employment is at a high
level. They may note, for instance, that
when prices are low, as they were in 1888,
unemployment is exceedingly high and when
prices are high it is often true that employ
ment is high also.
Is it not better. the trade unionists might
ask, to have high prices and employment,
rather than low prices and many men out
of work?
That question puts the cart before the
horse. Men are not unemployed because
prices are low, but prices drop because the
people do not have money enough to buy
what is being produced. The best insurance
against depression is adequate purchasing
power.
In our history every period of high prices
has been followed by a period Of bust. The
greater the boom, the more severe will be
the depression and the unemployment that
is sure to follow.
That is why trade unions are concerned
over prices.

Hog Hungry Profiteers
Push Up Prices

Those who argue that Big Business is not
hog-hungry for profits ought to study the
business sections Of the metropolitan press.
For example United States Steel recently
lacked up it's prices. This was in c~onjunc-
ton with other steel companies. The raise
was from IS to $40 per ton throughout the
industry and will nave an i%nflationary effect
throughout the entire economy Of the nation
Of which steel is the backbone. The same
day that US. Steel increased the price of it's
product it announced second quarter of 1947
earnings which aggregated $4,000, 900,
more than double the $14, 000, 900 for the

same period last year. If Big Business would
have been satisfied with conservative profits
the price structure would not have been de-
molished. But Big Business has proved
greedy. 1t is a demonstration of the inability
of Big Business to run the nations economy
for the benefit of the nation. 1t constitutes
startling proof of the assertion, often made,
that there is far more danger of the capital
lists destroying the capitalist system than from
the communists.
