labor, including various grades of tenant
farmers and year round employees Of large
estates who receive annual compensation
or share In crops.
While the strike is q demonstration of
the power still welded by the Communist
leaders of the confederation, and therefore
rebounds to the prestige OF the Communist
Party, the effectiveness of the walkout
appears due to genuine economic griev-
ances rather than to political motives. It
LIS thus warning to the government and
the nation as a whole that this weak spot
must be strengthened in the interest Of
public security and stability.

Representative league Of Texas, mem
Der OF the House District Committee, viii
render the District schools a real service
IL he succeeds in finding the reasons for
the sad deterioration OF the washington
High School Cadet Corps. Mr. league. who
knows from personal experience the value
of military training in the schools, has
sent a QUESTIONABLE to school authorities
and to military officials on the local cadet
crisis. The Texan found that his early
military training at school and In the
National Guard stood him in good stead
when he went into combat In World War II.
And he Is convinced that, entirely apart
from the military aspect, the cadet routine
builds good citizens.
The poor showing of the Washington
Cadet Corps in the recent competitive drill
prompted Mr. league TO interest himself
In the cadet problem here. The drill this
year was a most disheartening AFFAIR to
those who remember the days when the
corps was fully manned by enthusiastic
young men, bent on winning honors for
their school in the annual competition.
Tech, once leading contender, was unable
to muster enough men to enter the contest
the first time this has happened since
Tech has had cadet organization. Two
other schools had to merge companies in
order to fill out spare ranks. Today there
are only TBS cadets in the white high
schools, compared with an average pre-
war enrolment Of 1900.
It Is obvious that something Is wrong
with the cadet system here. Friends OF
the corps believe that several things are
wrong, including inadequate interest and
support both by some parents and some
school authorities, "old-fashioned" close
order drill methods, use of part-time
instructors, failure to integrate the pro-
gram more closely with the regular class
schedules and expense Of uniforms. These
and perhaps other factors in the waning
prestige and strength of the cadets should
be thoroughly explored. Mr. leagues
inquiry could be very helpful in diagnosing
the corps troubles and in formulating
remedies for them.

Itoly's Farm Labor Strike

The mushrooming Of agricultural labor
trouble into general protest walkout
emphasizes one of Italy's gravest problems
the condition of It's rural population.
This problem has been much discussed OF
late and certain remedial measures are
planned by the De Gasperi government.
But the current strike shows emphatically
the need for action, both speedy and con-
structive In character.
More than half of the people Of Italy are
country folk. But only small proportion
own farms of adequate size. Arabic land
is scarce in italy proportionate to its dense
population, which continues to grow
rapidly even under adverse economic con-
ditions. And much of the best land is held
IN large estates, worked for the big land
owners by resident or seasonal labor. while
another considerable fraction, though
owned by big landlords, Is rented out on
onerous "share-cropper" tenancies. In
Southern italy, especially conditions are at
their worst. the lot of the landless farm
1cally wretched.
It Is due to these hardships and griev-
Ances that, in Italy, farm labor has been
highly susceptible to Communist prop
uganda, the agricultural unions being one
of the mainstays of the Communist
dominated General Confederation Of Labor.
Just q month ago, the confederation called
q strike of 1000, 900 seasonal laborers for
better pay and q better degree Of job
security. The walkout was timed at a
strategic moment, for many key crops are
entering the harvest stage, and failure to
garner them could work irreparable
damage to Italy's already short domestic
food supply.
When the original strikers failed to win
their demands. 100000 more agricultural
workers staged q twenty-four-hour protest
walkout Of sympathy, to demonstrate their
solidarity. These demonstrators cover
virtually all other categories Of agricultural

Tyranny in the Wuy

Nothing could be less surprising than
the Soviet reply to the recent Anglo
American notes requesting the formation
of three-power commissions to see to 1t
that Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria stop
ply is nat mo" couched in words that
add up to q masterpiece of brazenness
turning truth upside down.
During the war, Romania, Hungary and
Bulgaria fought on the side of Hitler. AS
the victors, Russia, Britain and the United
States agreed on peace treaties under
which the defeated trio solemnly pledged
themselves to guarantee fundamental
human rights and freedoms to the Ro-
manian, Hungarian and Bulgarian peoples.
Almost as soon as the pledge had been
made, however, 1t was broken, and the
Communist regimes in control of the three
countries have since resorted to every form
Of force and oppression to wipe out all
vestiges Of democracy and make them
selves as tyrannically strong as possible.
All this has been done with the hearty
approval and help of the Kremlin In order
to convert Romania, Hungary and Bull
garia into obedient satellites. That Is why
the Soviet government has refused to join
Britain and the United States In invoking
the enforcement clauses of the peace
treaties to organize q corrective Anglo
American-RusSian commission In each Of
the offending countries. The refusal
flying In the face Of facts known through
out the free worlds based on the simple,
bare-faced falsehood that the three Com
munist regimes have not only not violated
their pledge on human rights, but on the
contrary have been fulfilling that pledge
by suppressing forces hostile to democracy.
The reply could hardly have been any
thing other than that. After all. the Ro-
manian. Hungarian and Bulgarian "gov-
ernments" are mere puppets of the
Kremlin, and the Kremlin naturally can
not take action against them without
taking action against itself, nor can 1t con-
denim their morals without condemning
its own morals. In short, in this crime
against human rights, the master tyranny
is in a sense even more guilty than the
satellites. and obviously 1t viii have moth
ing to do with any move calculated TO
advertise its guilt or end its crime. As
well expect hardened thief to cooperate
In stopping his own thieving.
Accordingly. the lo-American effort

to the United Nations. The u. N. can help
organize special commissions without So
Wet membership, or 1t can consider the
issue In the General Assembly or Security
Council Such action. however, can do
little more than keep the record straight:
1t will not restore freedom to the world
behind the Iron Curtain: nothing will.
