Southern Clamor on Civil Rights Bills
Seen AS Hardy Prediction Perennial

it is the price. The votes are there,
any time a roll call can be had
The instant excuse now is such q
filibuster would delay the Marshall
Plan. 1t might. It would always
delay some vital piece OF legisla-
ton. The Southerners Of course
press this advantage.
1924 Din Recalled.
Meanwhile, they are working or
the Democrats in the time-honored
headline -reaping fashion. The leg
islatures will resolve, the Governors
confer and a big-name SoutherneI
will finance a nice summer vaca-
ton by selling a hell-for-leathel
attack, Oh President Truman to
national magazine owned by a Re.
publican. If past history is any
guide, the South, large part o1
which has said nothing all along
will then walk quietly to the polls
and vote Democratic.
In 1942-1944 the din was terrific
The rebels also boasted Of a secret
weapon: Southern white women, in
eensed by Mrs. Roosevelt's cham
pionship of the Negro which hao
cost them their cooks, were all 60
ing to vote Republican. The uproa1
probably helped effect the discard
ing of Henry Wallace who had
however, a great many other i'm
pressive enemies. Experienced cor.
respondents repeatedly canvasseo
the South in that period; none pre-
dicted real revolt.
But politicians are a timorous
breed, and the Democrats remember
they gambled against prejudice
once with AL Smith and lost. Ac-
tually they we're gambling against
several widespread prejudices evoked
by Mr.. Smith-the Catholic church
prohibition, Tammany Hall. The
emotional attitudes now being ad-
vertised are fairly well confined tc
the South.
The candidate who may suffer
most now is Supreme Court Justice
Douglas. The White House has
proved responsive to suggestions
that the young Western liberal is
their answer to the Wallace threat
But the court has been forcing the
South into a corner on civil rights
Justice Douglas in the van.
Won't Compromise.
There Is no compromise in Justice
Douglas on these issues. He
preached civil liberties at the
Altgeld Centennial last month as
a matter of conscience because he
had heard an important lawyer say
he did not think many lawyers now
could afford to defend certain civil
rights cases.
Last week he seized the occasion
of a dinner attended by the top
level of the Truman administration,
which happened to fall on January
30-Mr. Roosevelt's birthday-to
make a moving affirmation of love,
gratitude and allegiance for the late
President. And he added bluntly:
But for him. few Of us would be
here"
What is missing amid the battle
of words here is concrete evidence
that the challengers to the Southern
attitudes are practicing what they
preach. Minorities have had in
creasingly less representation on top
government levels as the circle
around the President has steadily
narrowed. It is reported that some
Southerners are mulling over the
propriety and advisability Of doing
some highly personal attention-call-
ing on their own.

money and big taxpayers a lot of
money, while incidentally reducing
Government revenues by six and
a half billion dollarc. the Demo-
cratic leaders opposed it, but they
couldn't hold their houn' dawgs in
line.
This sort of setback is serious.
from the Democratic Party's point
Of view. President Truman, the
party's candidate come next No.
vember, has been doing astonish-
ingly well in the unofficial polls
this winter; he appears to have a
decisive margin over any Of the
Republican contenders. The best
explanation of this satisfactory sit
uation is that the performance of
the Republican Congress to date
has caused many voters to regret
the revolt Of November, 1916. Meas
uring what this Congress has done
against what the President has
asked 1t to do, the voters have been
turning to Mr.. Truman.
Canny on Legislation.
However inept the President may
have proved himself in some re-
spects, he has been canny concern
ing legislation. His veto last ses-
sion of the Republican tax reduc-
ton bill helped him because he was
able to make clear that it unduly
favored the wealthy taxpayers. This
session he anticipated the Repub-
licans' renewed attempt by offering
a bill Of his own, his $40-per-person
cut for big folks and little folks
alike, with the loss Of revenue to be
made up by restoring part of the
excess profits tax. They liked that
at party headquarters. It was
something that could be under
stood and 1t spelled votes.
Offered as a substitute for the
Republican bill, it had the support
of even the Southern Democrats, all
but 20 of them. This may have
been because they knew 1t would
be defeated. In any case, when
the $500, 900 COO dollar Republican
bill came up SO Democrats voted
aye. =
So now when the campaign gets
going the Republican orators, de-
Tending their tax bill, can point to
the record: More than a third Of
the Democrats voted for 1t.
The President really has a prob
lem. He'll never get rid Of very
many foxes unless his dogs begin to
remember which side they are on.

In Washington. But it was obvious
that it was another seven-league
step toward war.
I cabled Davis on March 9, asking
for his comment in view of the new
European situation created and in
view of the possibility of rumors or
news stories which might connect
the United States with develop
ments there. I added: I'm any
event, we are unquestionably enter
ing into a period of increasing
tenseness in European affairs"
BY March 20 we had submitted
the final draft of the treaty to the
President.
Disappointment Expressed.
The President approved the treaty,
but made q suggestion, which we
passed on to Davis, on March 20,
that Davis should state that the
American Government and dele
gates are deeply disappointed that
the new treaty does not provide for
Quantitative Overall tonnage) limi-
tation."
On March % I cabled Davis the
Presidents thought that Davis and
Admiral Standley should sign a
letter of thanks to Anthony Eden,
head of the British delegation, "ex-
pressing pleasure and satisfaction
over their association during the
conference, and incidentally to men,
ton the fact that, while no quanti-
tative limitations are provided in
the new treaty similar to the provi-
sions In former naval treaties, this
Government desired to avoid COM
petition with the British in naval
construction; that the British En-
pire and the United States accept
as well-recognized and established
principle fleet parity; that condi-
tions and circumstances are such
that the two governments should
continue on the principle of parity;
and that adherence thereto would
contribute to friendly relations Of
the two governments and to world
peace" The British could reply in
the same strain.
This had no sooner been done
than the news leaked out, and vari-
GUS news stories were published
about a Secret understanding" on
cooperation between the British
and American Navies. Minister VIII
son In Geneva informed me that the
"leak" originated from the Japanese
observer at the conference who was
kept informed, in confidence, by the
British. We accordingly arranged
for the release Of both letters.
Had Discussion With Davis.
When Norman Davis came back
from London in April. 1896, he and
I had a long talk on the world stu
alton. We went over the major de-
velopments since I entered the State
Department.
Before us lay a tremendous prob
lem and responsibility which our
Government was obliged to meet
1t involved the accurate determine
ton of when. in the light of chaotic
conditions in many areas Of the
globe, this Nation should, to all
practical intents, abandon the
undertaking to preserve peace
through disarmament and proceed
rapidly to arm sufficiently to be able
to resist the plainly visible move
ments toward military conquest by
Germany, Japan and Italy.
AS Norman Davis and I talked
over these developments, it became
clearly manifest that peace on the
basis of disarmament was next to
impossible. The question that then
presented itself was whether and

first place, we were usually deck
ed out in new suits of clothing on
the great holiday and it was
pleasant to show yourself in Schulz
all dressed up in your blue knee
pants and blue coat. In Schul on
Rosh Hashonah you met the whole
town, as well as Jews from Will
ages that were many miles away,
and native sons and daughters
who had gone to the big cities
to settle returned to town to
spend the High Holidays with
their families. 1t was interesting
to hear the grown-ups talk and
gossip about all these people,
some of whom had made a great
success in the great, wide world
that seemed too remote from our
small, narrow one.
Though Rosh Hashonah was not
"a holiday for visiting neighbors
and friends in their homes, one
made up for that by the informal
chats outside the Schul during
the two long morning prayer SER
vices. And in the afternoon of
the second day, as the New Year
holiday was about to end, folks
went together to "Tashlich" to
the river, where by saying GER
tain prayers and turning their
pockets inside out they would
symbolically throw away their
sins.
To get to the river we had to
go through some thickly covered
woods. Woods their trees, wild
flowers and birds are always ap-

However, it was not until Presi-

Mr.. Daniels, who was a political
and personal dry all of his life,
banned all intoxicating liquors from
naval vessels shortly after he became
Secretary of the Navy.
Ridicule became widespread when
he signed an order abolishing port"
and "starboard" as terms for cleft"

was attacked as an absurd thing for
a "landiubber editor" to tell sailors.

Later, Mr.. Daniels established
schools aboard ships for enlisted
men.
But despite criticism, he sailed
serenely on, and led the Navy De-
partment during World War I. It
was a source of pride to him that
the Navy safely escorted 2,000, 900
American soldiers to overseas points.
He also was proud that during his
period the Navy spent $4,000, ,000, ,00o
without coming in for serious critic
ism.
During the war, Mr.. Daniels
assistant secretary was Franklin D.
Roosevelt. The two formed a warm
mutual attachment. Mr.. Daniels
was the only man Mr.. Roosevelt ever

Truman Still Hopes for Law
To LET Kufer Take CAB Post
By the Assoeiotsd Press

President Truman has not given
up hope of congressional approval
of legislation that would enable him
to appoint Maj. Gen. Laurence s.
Kuter as chairman of the Civil
Aeronautics Board.
The Senate Armed Services Com
mittee unanimously rejected this
week legislation authorizing Gen.
Kuter to retain his Air Force rank
and higher Army pay while serving
as chairman of the board.
Presidential Press Secretary
Charles G. Ross said today that Mr..
Truman has made no decision on his
next step, but other White House
sources said Mr.. Truman still hasn't
given up hope that members of the
committee may change their minds.
