grated as the urgency of that op-
Grafton becomes clearer to those who
hold the power to provide those
sinews.
The disclosure that Field Marshal
Montgomery would become chief OF
the yet to = be created Western
Unions armed forces-a selection
which was deplored in more than
one quarter-inaugurates new
phase in the step-by-step procedure
of building powerful defensive
force for Western Europe.
Future Steps Defined.
The succeeding steps are not diff
cult to discern. When the general
staff for Western Europe comes into
existence the problem will have
three principal facets: Cd to pro-
vide for that instant coordination
of all the land, sea and air forces
which will be necessary in the event
of a Russian blitz; Cd to conclude
arrangements with the United
States for the latter to rush to
Western Europe's help Immediately
the attack starts; and 80 most
important of all, to commence a
flow of ultra modern arms and
ammunition to the defenders Of de-
mocracy from the arsenal of de-
moracy, the United States.
Solution of the first phase of the
problem will be a task of no small
proportions, not only because Of the
diverse nationalities of the forces
involved, but because of multitude
of differences in many respects
which makes it pretty difficult to fit
these cogs into smoothly function
ing machine. The job is one which
must be handled successfully by the
five nations themselves.
The second phase is where the

Successor to Wagner?
Dewey Could Replace Ailins Senator
With Own Choice If He'd Resign

York's Republican Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor, Joe Hanley. inherits that
prerogative. So Senator Wagner
has not resigned.
Has Right to Seat.
It Is doubtful that he will be or

Senate in January. 194s, however
Tradition protects his right to hi.
seat so long as he chooses to re.
tain it. Another elder statesman
Senator Glass of Virginia-kept hi!
place during several years of mac
tivity, and legal actions to dislodgt
him never got beyond the lower
courts. 1t is to the highest degree
unlikely that the Senate itself woulc
ever take action in such q cast
against a member.
Currently a shift of four Senate
seats would give the Democrats con-
troll of the Senate. And the odds
are on their candidates in at leas,
four states-Wyoming, Oklahoma
West Virginia, Minnesota-andp pos
sibly a fifth, Kentucky. Hence the
Importance of the Wagner seat.
If there is any one question about
which the Dewey camp is cagy-
and they are notoriously wary-it is
that of successor to Senator
Wagner. The Governor keeps his
lips we'll buttoned lest he now
make the classic "one migrate and
100 enemies" by revealing his fav-
orite earlier than necessary. A good
guess: Representative Coudert OF
New York City, who, like the other
Dewey selection, Senator Ives, is
an Albany alumnus.

mist which would stand up in court
nothing would give it more pleasure
than to bring him before 1t.
But in this country, as Gov. Dewey
pointed out in his famous debate
with Harold Stassen, you cannot
prosecute q man for not holding (to
use q Communist adjective) the
correct" ideas, but only for COM
mitting overt illegal acts. And
whether an act has been committed
must be judged under strict rules OF
evidence.
OF all the rights that need to be
upheld at home and restored
abroad, the right implied in habeas
corpus is the first, because without
it there can be no other freedoms
whatsoever. To fail to resist en-
croachments on this right, at the
very moment when the United
States is carrying the torch of free
dom in the world, is to display
neither legal nor political sense.

hoped both to send Mayor ODwyer
of New York City to the Senate
and to strengthen the Truman
ticket.
The Dewey countermaneuverS not
only stopped this but insure that
| the priced Senate seat - should his
party inherit twill be safely Re-
publican until 1850.
Senator Wagner is one of the last
of the titans. who, by progressive
economic and social measures, built
long -invincible Democratic rule
of New York State, furnishing their
party its 1928 nominee, AL Smith,
and its four term President. Frank
lin Roosevelt. Senator Wagner's
national monument is the act which
insures labor's right to collective
bargaining. But time and Ill health
have overtaken him and he has
rarely been in Washington OF late.
Party Made Plans.
With Mayor O'Dwyer's growing
political strength. the party laid
plans - should Senator Wagner's
health continue to fail, as it has
to secure his resignation and
draft Mayor O'DWyer to run for
the seat this fall. They were and
are confident Mr.. O'Dwyer could win
even with Gov. Dewey at the head
of the Republican ticket. And they
knew he could help the President.
But up in Albany, Gov. Dewey
is the undisputed master of a
Republican legislature and he also
looked ahead Without public ref
.erence to the personalities involved
he had passed and he signed a bill
giving the Governor the right to
appoint to a Senate vacancy, not
until the next general election, but
for the remainder of the unexpired
term.
This means that Gov. Dewey
can appoint the Republican of his
choice, should Senator Wagner re-
sign, to serve until 1850, when Sena-
tor Wagner's term expires. If Gov

Chinese actors have a habit Of

walls early in the morning and
shouting in order to develop their

of this they are thirsty and hungry,

can't hold candle to the beaters.

We might ask ourselves, I think,
what 1t is that disgusts US most
in the Communist system. Is 1t
that it substitutes q system Of state
capitalism for the mixed system OF
public private corporate capitalism
that exists in the Western world?
No. it Is not. One may believe,
as this column does. that no form
Of total socialism ever will work

Substitutes Terror For Law.
But it is not such criticisms which
constitute the primary charge
against the Communist system. The
primary charge is that it substitutes
terror for law. and persecution for
prosecution. 1t arrests without in

apogee in "the peoples tribunal"
form of inquisition Identical
even as to name-in the Nazi and
Communist regimes.
Now. the Committee on Un-
American Activities Is coming dan
gerously close to developing into just
such a tribunal, in its zeal to ferret
out those who, If they had their
way, would make such tribunals
the substitute for legal justice.
Fighting fire with fire Is q dubious
political procedure at any time. As
Emerson said, We are very likely to
become what We hate.
The committee is pillorying and
bullying persons. accepting hearsay,
injuring persons in their reputa-
tions-and, as q result, in their
economic positions-and unquesti-
onably alternating from Government
service distinguished men unwilling
to- submit to thought control. And
above and beyond this, as the state

separation Of powers, which is the
most basic ingredient OF our Con-

This Changing World
American Arms Seen Vital Factor
In Western Europe Defense Force

United States and its future policies
begin to become involved. In spite
of all our appearance of toughnes,
toward the Soviet program of ex-
pansion, we are still very much in
the dark as to the exact point al
which we would consider it neces-
sary to take up arms in defense OF
Western Europe, and just how oul
strength is to be eXerted.
As a matter of fact, there is some
reason to believe that in the event
of a Russian sweep toward the
Channel it might be Allied strategy
TO retreat behind the Pyrenees and
use the Iberian Peninsula as the
base from which to launch the
counter attack. In any event, Il
Western Europe is to be held fast on
our side, arrangements must be
made to join those countries &C.
lively in their defense.
Third Phase Important.
OF more immediate Importance Is
the third phase, namely, some
prompt steps to begin supplying
Western Europe with the arms and
ammunition which its war -impov-
erished industries have not vet been
able to provide. The five Western
nations collectively possess q total
manpower which could serve as an
effective defensive force against q
Russian attack, but that manpower
Is pitifully unequipped with the i'm
plements of war which would make
it a useful force.
If the world Is going to have to
exist in a state of armed peace, all
of the Western powers have q long
way to 60 before they can feel Sc
cure against Soviet aggressive ex-
pansionism. We have made some
progress in eradicating the enemy
in our midst, but we still have to
face the enemy outside our gates.
And that enemy is powerfully
armed, prepared to work his will by
force If he Is finally and definitely
frustrated in his war Of norves and
offensive Of threats.
When we have restored our own
armed strength, when We have made
up our minds how and at what point
that strength IS to be used, when
we have so strengthened those who
want to stand with us that together
we constitute an invincible bastion
against Communist assault-then
we can breathe easier and can turn
with greater attention to the
domestic needs of all the Western
democracies.
But for the present our task is to
put the flesh and muscle on the
skeleton of force which the Western
European Union is creating.

You can divide the vendors rough
ly into two classes-the yellers
and the beaters.
Cries Garry for Blocks.
The yellers use their vocal chords
to announce their presence and the
type OF wares they have for sale.
Through years Of practice these
merchants have developed cries
which torture the ear drums and
carry for blocks and blocks. Chief
among the criers are those with
food to sell. There must be at
least = hundred types of food ven-
dors, ranging from those who have
a few persimmons or walnuts to
sell, to those who push big carts
from which they can cook and serve
an entire meal.
The food sellers are uncanny in
their knowledge of the eating and
drinking habits of the people who
live in the area which they work.
If a man and woman go to a
party and come in late. the food
vendor, figuring the couple will want
light snack before retiring, is
right on hand, ready to serve.

how find out about it and are at

could possibly want for his break
