Decentralized Swiss Government Is Seen

left to the cantons. In some parts
of Switzerland the Lutheran Church
is established; in others the Catholic
Church is established, and in still
others there is no establishment of
creed. Such matters are none of
the business of the federal author
tiles.
AS a result, Switzerland is the
master example in Europe OF unity
with diversity. 1t is the one country
where the creative elements in
varieties of cultures are preserved
at no threat to the unity of the
state, and at no advantage or dis
advantage to smaller or larger lin
guistic groups. Each canton conducts
public affairs and education in the
language Of the people. Most Swiss
with more than a high-school ed
ucation speak three languages.
Some years ago a tiny group of
mountaineers who speak an anach-
ronistic, corrupted Latin, called
"Ladeinisch," petitioned for courts
and schools in that tongue. A pleb-
iscite approved their petition by a
90 per cent majority. No country
is more tolerant of racial differences.
No country has greater spiritual and
political unity.
Switzerland Is the microcosm of
Europe. It's form of federalism is
the only form tried in Europe, sue
cessful for centuries, and applicable
to European ideals and realities.
Switzerland is Little Europe.

dependence through the actions OF
Stains mentor in world domination
politics, Adolf Hitler.
Nothing was attempted to save
Poland, Bulgaria, 'Yugoslavia, Ro-
mania and Hungary from the claws
of the Eastern Bear. The reason is
easy to understand. They had been
designated as Soviet satellites at the
Teheran and Yalta conferences
where secret deals were reached by
President Roosevelt, Prime Minister
Churchill and the Soviet dictator.
Czechoslovakia was not included.
President Eduard Benes had gone
to Moscow and reached an agree
ment which he expected the Krem.
lin to honor whereby Czechoslo-
vakia, while remaining nominally
sovereign, would continue on her
own volition strong, friendly policy
toward the U. S. S. r. Mr.. Benes
was fooled like all the others who
made agreements with good -natured
Uncle joe"
Papanek's Dismissal Anticipated.
The Czech representative at the
U. N, DR.. Jan Papanek, presented
his country's case last week. His
plea was rejected by Trygve Lie,
the secretary general, on the
grounds that DR.. Papanek no longer
represented his government. The
secretary general of the q. N,
whose impartiality has been ques-
toned for long time, conveniently
anticipated the dismissal of the
Czech representative. At the time
when the plea was submitted
Prague had not yet indicated that
the republics spokesman in New
York had been dismissed.
The case will be presented anew
Wednesday by the representative
of the Chilean Republic, Herman
Santa Cruz, who will, of course, be
dubbed by the Russian and satellite
representatives as a Fascist servant
of American and British capitalism.
From all indications during the
week end, the Chilean plea will be
a test case, bitterly resisted by
the U. s. S. r. and her satellites who
argue that nothing but cabinet
reshuffle has occurred in Czecho-
slovakia. Consequently, they will
argue, the U. N. has no right to
interfere and President Benes him.
self has given his voluntary" ap-
proval to the changes which are
now taking place.
The other nations are expected
to fight the Soviet assertions, fully
aware that unless there is a show
down in this matter the U. N.
might just as well be written of.

q man who looks closely like that in
print. :.
Once this household was running
like a mighty Diesel locomotive
on the downgrade, Miss Swanson
started making home for Michael
Farmer. BY now her skill at home
making was SO superb that it didn't
take her long to get his house in
order, and she was able, with q
clear conscience, to come to the
assistance of lucky man whose
name do not recall. Let's Just call
him Mr.. No. S.
However, who. in his right mind.
can picture Miss Swanson giving
kitchen hints?
e Not Mop and Apron Type.
I can't.
She just doesn't seem to be the
mop, apron and broom type.
She's too lovely for one thing.
For her to talk about how to
cook stew, or what to do with
leftovers, or how to line a kitchen
cabinet properly with frilled shelf
paper, is as incongruous as Typhoid
Mary listing herself as baby sitter.
Who can picture Miss Swanson,
the lovely Miss Swanson, bending
over hot stove? Who can visual
ize her working a dull can opener
on a can of pink salmon?
OF course, her kitchen hints may
be q bit different. She may open
her program with how to make
delicious dish from leftover caviar
and plover eggs. She may advise
the housewives Of the country on
the best way to prepare crepe
suzettes.
But it still gave me a surprise
to read that glamorous Miss Swan
son was to give kitchen hints. =

ton, there are too many people all
over the world who are asking the
questions: What is happening to
the U. N.?" and Has 1t become
within two years even more impo-
tent than the old League OF Ma
tions?"
Since its inception, the United
Nations has been used principally
as a mild sounding board for It's
democratic members and powerful
propaganda agency for the U. S.
S. r. and her satellites.
At this time the U. S. S. r. Is
penetrating" Western Europe and
China by what may be described as
deceptive methods" She will con-
tinue to do so until challenged by
the United States and the Western
nations. Then, she will throw of
her mask.
U. N. Has No Military Power.
The United Nations has no mill
tary power, although its trainers
provided for a force to compel any
recalcitrant nation to obey its in
functions. The military organiza-
ton of the U. N. is only on paper.
The Soviet government has taken
care to prevent it from becoming an
actual force.
The rape Of Czechoslovakia
aroused the indignation Of the dem
ocratic nations not because 1t was
the first case of nation brought
forcibly under the knout Of the Mos
COW political Cossacks, but because
by frantically attempting to main
tain even shadow of sovereignty,
she had become semisatellite. She
was created as an independent re-
public principally through the efforts
of Woodrow Wilson and lost her in

as their neighbors across the i'm
mediate frontiers. But no Swiss
wants to be Frenchman, Ger
man or an Italian. For his state
has given him the greatest freedom
enjoyed by a European, and the
most uninterrupted peace.
Switzerland is the most decentral-
lied state in Europe. 1t has central
government ruled by a cabinet, and
does not even have president or
prime minister as other states
understand those terms. The cabi-
net, or council, elects a president
(really a chairman) from its own
number, who serves q year, and in
rotation.
Cantons Have Much Autonomy.
The cantons or states - have
almost complete cultural, and a high
degree of political, autonomy. Al
though each sends representatives
to the central or federal parliament,
the constitution does not even fix
the manner of their election. Some
cantons send representatives elected
by conventions of the whole body
of voters. In others the members
of the local legislature elect the
delegates; and in still others the
people directly elect candidates from
party lists. If the cantons are
satisfied, the federal government
raises no questions.
A foreigner, naturalized in Switz-
erland, is naturalized in the canton.
1t assumes responsibility for him.
To become a citizen of a Swiss can
ton makes a man automatically a
citizen of Switzerland.
Under the Swiss constitution, 1t
is impossible for one racial or lin
guistic group to gain control of the
country. There is no way that any
one can vote as a "German-speak-
ing" "French-speaking." or "Ital-
ian-speaking" Swiss. Everyone can
vote only as citizen; he can vote
as a left-Winger, right-winger, or
middle of the -roader. But he can
not vote as national" Switzer-
land, therefore, has no minorities.
More Of its people speak German
than any other language. but they
enjoy no rights or privileges not
enjoyed by every other Swiss citizen.
Federal Law Is Limited.
There Is strict separation of fed
eral and cantonal powers and re-
sponsibilities. The federal constitu-
ton makes this plain, and not only
defines the form Of the government
but also embodies the basic prin-
ciples, limits and responsibilities Of
federal law.
Practically all cultural matters are

South Plots Moves
Truman Opponents Seen Facing Difficulty
In nSearch for Candidates of Their Own

Hill is a New Dealer, who stands
by the South on civil rights and
is pleading with it to stay in the
Democratic Party.
ANY Southerner who runs with
Mr.. Truman on that civil rights
platform will be Benedict Arnold
in the eyes of the South" exclaimed
one Of the rebels.
Actually most of them admit they
have no real chance of stopping
the President at Philadelphia
debating silence on civil rights in
the platform or. restoring the two
thirds rule on nominations which
once gave them veto power. But
they expect to kick up a row which
will dramatic the issues and make
it safe for them to take a walk
in the '4S election.
Question of Boiling Party.
That they still are nervous about
jeopardizing their party regularity
was shown by their carefully word
ed resolutions outlining ways Of
throwing the election into the elec-
toral college without boiling the
party.
A family mulish look takes hold
of an anti-Truman Southerner when
asked what the South expects to
get from the Republican President
it will help elect BY its rebellion.
Replies range from scholarly dis
sertations on the necessity of start
ing the two-party system in the
South to personal attacks on Mr..
Truman.
Airing of their grievances clearly
has not caused them to diminish,
as party leaders had hoped. In
stead q -last-stand mood
prevails on which practical consid-
erations now make no dent. Unless
something can be done to crack 1t
before June, the party is in for a
bitter convention.

hard to imagine Henry McLemore.
Miss Swanson discussing fashions,
she having been one of the world S
classiest dressers for long time.
For years, believe, she stood well
up in the list of the 10-goal wearers
of silks and satins and dotted Swiss
and percale.
Nor is 1t difficult to picture Miss
Swanson in the interview about
her forthcoming television project.
In her time she has known the
