tary and diplomatic planners in the
White House, Pentagon and State
Department, with the idea they
shall be forewarned about the con-
sequences of our policy which has
led to the collapse of China's gov
ernment defenses.
The first ship Of arms and am
munition consigned to the Nation
aliSt armies is leaving the West
Coast this week. 1t will take her
five to six weeks to reach China. But
developments are 50 rapid and the
rout of Nationalist forces appears
so complete that it is doubtful
whether eleventh-hour assistance
which, If 1t had been sent several
months ago, might have been some
help will change the situation at all.
Concerned Over Shanghai.
In the meantime the Chinese gov
ernment is preparing to evacuate
Marking, which is in the path of
the advancing victorious Commu-
mist armies. The Nationalist gov
ernment, however, is more con-
cerned about Shanghai, the prin-
cipal port in the Far East which
1t has no means to defend. In
order to avoid the loss of that once
prosperous city, which also Is an
important strategic center, Chang
has taken the surprising step of
asking the Western Powers to re-
sumo the extraterritorial rights

QcSu, IL Is u1~
ready being demonstrated this very
week.
Up on the Hill q Senate sub
committee is conducting an in
vestigation." 1t Is investigating the
effect on business of recent rulings
of the Federal Trade Commission
and recent decisions of the U. S
Supreme Court. The inquiry is
being conducted chiefly by Senator
Homer Capehart of Indiana, author
of the resolution authorizing 1t. He
is chairman of the subcommittee
and most of the witnesses called are
Of his selection.
The obvious purpose Of the hear
ing is to lay the groundwork for
legislation designed to nullify the
recent decision of the Supreme
Court concerning the basing point
price system in the cement in
dustry.
Complaint After 10 Years
Ten long years ago, following an
extensive study, the Federal Trade
Commission issued complaint
against most of the members OF
this important industry, charging
that its pricing practice was con-
trary to the law. Five years were
spent then in taking testimony. A
cease and desist" order resulted
But the cement indusry didn't cease
and desist. It went to court. Five
years of litigation resulted in the
Supreme Courts finding that, just
as the FTC had said, the cement
makers were violating the law and
that they really should cease and
desist.
Thereupon Senator Capehart
rushed to the rescue He arranged
to have his subcommittee sit be-

Whip in New Congress
Lucas Is Confident He'll Inherit Role
Of Barkley as Cloakroom Commando

The New Dealers always were sat-
isfied with Senator Barkley because
he was wholly loyal to the White
House and they recognized fully his
peculiar merits. Being in a minority,
they were, in fact, getting from Sem
ator Barkley q far better leadership
than they could have earned in any
test of strength.
With their nine new Senators,
however, the New Dealers now have
clear majority over the South
erners. Not himself a Southerner
and lacking that felicity in human
relationships which Senator Bark
ley has to q peculiar degree, SEN
ator Lucas, as leader, may find
himself in some difficult situations.
ClOakrom Commando.
Luckily for him, Senator Barkley
will still be on hand as Vice Presi-
dent and probably continuing to do
a major share of the tactical work
in the cloakrooms This is the role
which James j. Byrnes so we'll per-
formed during his many years in
the Senate, when he bore no Of
ficial title but was well known as q
cloa kroom commando.
The New Dealers are already
quietly organizing to get a larger
voice on the steering committee,
which hands out the committee as
signments. This Is of the first i'm
portance over the long run because
of the seniority rule. They are
keenly aware of the Senate vital
statistics: OF the ten ranking Dem
ocrats in the Senate. eight are over
10, which is an indelible ausury of
new order soon.
They also have their candidates
for whip: Senators Mcmahon and
Myers, both aggressive, quick -witted
and young.
Until November 2 last, the Sen
ate never quite swallowed the fact
that ex-senator Truman, a rather
routine New Dealer from Missouri
who had obeyed the leadership in
all particulars, was now President
of the United States. The Presi-
dent has convinced the country he
Is President: his new standing In
the Senate will be plain when the
roll calls start.

On the Other Hand
Old Guard Still on Guard; Never
Dies and Only Seems to Surrender

tween the two sessions of Congress,
with the purpose of getting his
proposed legislation quickly before
the Eighty-frst Congress. He as
sumed, of course, that the Eighty
first would be no different from the
Eightieth.
In the light of the election re-
turns, it is quite unlikely that Con-
gress will invalidate the work of
the Trade Commission and the Su-
preme Court. 1t is more likely to
agree that the pricing system fol-
lowed by the cement industry and
many others not only constitutes an
unfair method of competition, but
also involves unlawful price dis
elimination. A lot of ceasing and
desisting appears to be in prospect.
But the Old Guard hasn't died
and hasn't really surrendered. Sen
ator Capehart and his llke-minded
colleague, Senator Hawkes. of New
Jersey, are solemnly questioning a
list of surprisingly big businessmen
in an effort to show that the COM
mission and the court are doing
grievous damage to American small
business.
Action In Another Center.
In another sector of the same eco
nomic field the Old Guard is on
guard. Three years ago Senator
Joseph C. O,Mahoney and Repre-
sentative Estes Kefauver introduced
identical bills intended to correct
glaring weakness in the Clayton
Antimerger Act. Corporations now
are free to violate the intent of the
law by buying the assets of competi-
tors. The law only restricts the
purchase Of competing company's S
stock.
The bill has not yet reached the
floor Of the Senate or House. Twice
1t has been approved by the House
Judiciary Committee, but each time
it has been bottled up by the House
Rules Committee.
The House Rules Committee soon
will have a new complexion. At least
Democrats will be in the majority.
If the present partisan division Is
retained there will be four Repub-
licans against eight Democrats. Two
of those Democrats, however. are
certain to be Representative How
ard Smith of Virginia and Eugene
Cox of Georgia, not usually listed
among the liberals. Two plus four
Is six, which is half OF the commit
tee. And, Of course, nobody yet
knows who the new Democratic
members will be. The only thing
certain is that here, too, the Old
Guard will be on the Job.

Senator Lncas, now the whip. thus
feels confident that he will inherit
from Senator Barkley without a
struggle.
1t will mean a new life for the
Senator from Illinois who. like the
rest of his Democratic colleagues,
coasted while Senator Barkley bore
the heat and burden of the day.
Senator Barkley moaned they were
lazy; their alibi was that Senator
Barkley preferred it that way. The
fact that Senator Barkley almost
never called them into caucus tended
to support their story.
Wanted to Avoid Split.
OF course, the reason Senator
Barkley avoided caucuses was the
split between the Southerners and
the rest of the party. His feeling
was that If he could avoid the af-
front direct in one of those family
gatherings where the awful truth
always gets out, he himself could
gain a maximum Of Southern votes
for anything really important. This
was possible to him as Kentuckian,
a charmer and an old stager who
has done O hundred OF the little
favors for everybody on the floor.
