or three years, but Congress Is
beginning to move. The wall of
honest doubt and ingrown preju-
dice is slowly giving way before the
persistent efforts of various organ
lzations who want to see this decent
and intelligent thing done.
From the House Judiciary Com
ton, has come a bill that would
permit 100000 OF the displaced per-
sons to be received by the United
States during a two-year period.
Representative Fellows, Republican,
of Maine, is the author. 1t is a
much more generous measure than
that recently approved by the Sen
ate judiciary Committee. This is
SO, not merely because it provides
for the entry of twice as many
persons-which is still only half
the number proposed by the Presi-
dent-but for other reasons. The
Senate bill is mean in spirit. con-
tanning more than a trace of thinly
hidden anti-Semitism.
Doubtful Points in Bill.
Even so the groups which have
been working for the legislation,
patiently seeking out the necessary
job opportunities for the newcomers
at the same time, are not too
happy over some of the provisions
of the Fellows bill. One is that
which would require a recognized
voluntary agency engaged in aiding
the entry of the DPS, to post bonds
for every individual thus aided.
This is intended to eliminate the
possibility of any immigrant be-
coming public charge. But fur
nishing bonds on this mass scale.
it is feared, would bankrupt any
OF the interested agencies. Such
bonds are not required in the case
of immigrants coming in under
present quotas.
Another doubtful provision Is one
requiring that the Governor of any
State prepared to receive a given
number of the immigrants must
certify officially that there are that
many job opportunities in his State.
This, it is feared, some Governors
otherwise ready to welcome the
refugees will be unwilling to do.
Still another disturbing provision
is that whereby the number of aliens
admitted during the two years
would be charged against the regu-
lar quotas of their native countries
in future years. Poland's quota, for
example, would thus be mortgaged
for about 80 years; Latvia's for
nearly a century.
Finally, under the language Of the
bill only those displaced persons
now waiting in Austria, Italy and
Germany, would be eligible. The
thousands of hopefuls gathered IN
Shanghai are ignored.
OAR Action Stirred Protests.
How ready the House may be tc

Speaker Martin has heretofore in
dicated cautious degree of SYM
pathy for the proposal and no hos
tility Is known to exist within the
Rules Committee. From the stand

tionships have the tendency to
establish and preserve peaceful con-
ditions throughout the world. This
results from the fact that it is the
economic interest of all to keep the
peace in order to profit from mutual
exchange of commodities.
In the present situation, however
when it is the desire and purpose of
one member of the society of
nationS-Soviet RusSia-to grasp
more and more nations within its
embrace and harness their produc-
ton as well as their consumption
to its own system, the principles
which underlie a free economic
world system cannot be considered
valid.
Political Aims Would Rule.
That is to say, the hope that east
west trade can be revived to any
great extent. or if revived, can
exert any real influence on the basic
causes for eaSt-weSt conflict, is a
futile one.
In the first place. there will never
be greater trade between the free
trading countries of the west and
the Soviet bound countries of the
east beyond the point which the
masters of the Kremlin believe wise
and desirable for their political
purposes Trade in the Soviet sys-
tem-unlike the capitalistic west
does not represent source of profit,
for profit as such has been extirpated
from the Soviet economy.

it can to those people who need and
can use foreign products, and the
desire and ability of each country
to import everything it needs and
can use above its own production.
Mutuality Cannot Exist.
Essential to this exploitation of
foreign markets and satisfaction of
domestic markets with foreign goods
is private enterprise, operating as
freely as possible from government
restriction and from application of
government policy to international
trade. And private enterprise means
profit system which has been
totally excluded from the Soviet
Union and every country over which
it has extended it's sway.
Healthy international trade pre-
supposes mutually between all the
trading nations and this mutuality
cannot exist when on one side trade
is carried on by private enterprise
seeking profit and on the other by
the totalitarian state, whose motives
are not economic profit but political
influence and the desire to choke
off dependence on foreign sources
of materials or manufactured goods.
The only way that Russia and her
bloc could engage in truly extern
Sive international trade is by open
ing up their.markets to foreign pro-
ducers and permitting the needs of
their populations-which are tre-

bloc,s inability to provide for them

surplus producing countries.
May Unload Low-Quality Goods.
Short of that the Soviet Union
may attempt - as Germany at
tempted-to penetrate foreign mar
kets by unloading low-quality goods
made under slave-labor conditions
in competition with the higher
quality products of free-labor coun-
tries.
Such an attempt by Russia would
not be a healthy solution to the
problem of international trade, but
would be more vicious attack on
the free world economic system than
Germany made in the '30s. To an
even greater degree than Germany. !
Russia will only excite bitter an
tagonisms and further divide

The prospects, then. on the inter-
