from the sea. the little city
looks startingly un-Chinese.
Rather does it appear a bit of
transplanted Portugal, with its
houses done in pastel shades of
blue, green and pink, topped
by massive old churches, mon
asteries and baroque cathedral.
All this despite the fact that
the Portuguese form only a
small minority of its 200, 900 in
habitants, the bulk of them be-
ing Chinese.
Garrison Strengthened
Macao is best known as the
Monte Carlo of the Far East.
Pleasure is there unconfined,
and is not limited to gambling.
The official "cut" from the va
,ried types of amusement is a
major source of the colony's
revenues. Yet this shady side
is not too obtrusive and subtly
blends with a decadent charm
which attracts the tourist. Just
now, Macao is a center of gold
speculation. Portugal did not
sign the Breton Woods agree
ment undertaking to peg gold
prices. So the import and sale
OF gold in Macao is free-and
gold in the troubled Orient is
worth from $50 per ounce up as
against the international price
OF $35. This makes Macao a
magnet for gold and Illicit
smuggling to other controlled
markets.

would be aggression" as de-
fined and penalized in the U. N.
Charter. Furthermore, Portugal
itself, though small and weak
in a military sense. has a
powerful protector in Britain,
which is obligated under the
terms Of an ancient Anglo
Portuguese treaty, to defend its
ally and the colonial possess
sions thereof. So Britain could
not stand idly by and see Macao
overwhelmed.
What, then, is Macao? 1t is
the oldest European settlement
in China. the Portuguese hav-
ing first landed there in 1851
nearly four centuries ago. For
a long time it hourished as the
sole gateway for trade between
China and the Western World.
It was only a foothold, a mar
row peninsula together with a
couple of islets which form its
harbor, the total area being
but six square miles. The Chi
nese authorized in Canton were
suspiciously watchful of these
"sea barbarians," building a
wall across the neck of the
peninsula to keep them within
their narrow bounds. Indeed,
it was not until 1887 that the
imperial Chinese government
concluded q formal treaty
recog n izing Portuguese SOW
ereignty over Macao. However,
during the intervening centu-
ries. Portugal set its imprint

their sovereignty. When Chinese
Nationalists years ago began
demanding the return of both
colonies to China. the Portu-
guese authorities stated that
the matter was not discussable
and warned that blood would
flow if any attempt was made
to dispoSsesS them. Militarily.
this might sound rather absurd,
for the tiny colony is strategi-
cally indefensible. Yet Portu-
gal knows it mas Britain COM
mitted to defend her, and the
evidence today is that the pro-
lection of Macao and Hong
Kong is considered joint mat
ter. There is close liaison be-
tween the British and Portu-
guese military authorities, while
the previously negligible, Macao
garrison has been reinforced by
some 5000 troops, part Portu-
guese, part Negro contingents
from Portuguese Africa. After
all, the Portuguese are a proud
people who will go far to pro-
tect what they deem their ma
tional honor and overseas patri-
mony. So Macao Is not apt to
bow meekly to a Communist
ultimatum to surrender. And a
Red attack on Macao could en-
tail consequences just as grave
as one on Hong Kong across
the bay. The two are really
twin facets of a potential chal-

an acute international crisis
will arise when the Chinese
Communists capture the south

the adjacent region. That crisis
is usually thought of in terms
Of the nearby British colony
Of Hong Kong. which the
Communists regard as Chi
nese territory to be delivered
from the grip of capitalist i'm
perialism." The British gov
ernment announces that Hong
Kong will not be given up, but
will be defended by all possible
means. And heavy land, sea
and air forces assembled there
denote that those are not idle
words.
Once Trade Gateway
However, few of us realize
that the Communist challenge,
if and when it comes, is likely
to be twofold. including not
only British Hong Kong, but
another nearby Western pos
session - Portuguese Macao.

pated have been IN line, in gen.
eral, with the views of the Su-
preme Court liberal group" that
usually consisted of Justices Black
and Douglas and the late Justices
Murphy and Rutledge.
BY all accounts Judge Minton
can reasonably be expected to side
with Justices Black and Douglas,
probably more often than the
newly appointed Justice Clark will
do.
Some close observers of his ju-
dicial career to date hazard an
opinion that on the Supreme
Court he will tend to be more
'legalistic" than Justice Murphy
was, but more "idealistic" than
some of the other liberal" jurists
in interpreting statutes on social
and economic grounds.
In the field of civil rights. a
major preoccupation of the court
at recent sessions. Judge Minton
seems likely to stand closest to
Justice Black. In 1910 he urged
appointment Of Justice Frankfurt
ter, but on the court now the two
may frequently differ.
The Court of Appeals record, so
far as Judge Minton is concerned,
provides a brief but revealing in
dication of the course he may fol-
low on the high court in opposing
monopolies and siding with labor.
At least two of the cases he
helped decide are especially timely
now and normally might reach
the Supreme Court at a compare
lively early session.
Sat Near Truman
He wrote the unanimous opinion
Of the appellate court upholding
the 1946 conviction of the Allan
tic & Pacific Tea Co. on criminal
charges of violating the antitrust
laws. The case centered about
Government complaints that the
company sought to fix prices. A
civil antitrust suit was filed
against the company early this
month in New York by Attorney
General McGrath.
Judge Minton also wrote an
opinion upholding the Federal
Trade Commission charges that
the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana
violated the Robinson -Patman
Act in Offering inducements to
gasoline customers.
Perhaps the most far-reaching
opinion in which he participated
was in the Inland Steel case. The
appellate court ruled that employ
ers could be forced to bargain on
pensions under the National Labor
Relations Act.
Judge Minton, while a Senator,
was so faithful to. the New Deal
philosophy and measures that he
worked as hard for labor legisla-
ton as almost any other.
He did not sponsor such legis-
lation but often urged that the
Wagner Act and other bills "be
given a chance to prove their
worth" Any changes, he de-
clared, should be made by the
friends and not the enemies of
labor and collective bargaining" :"
When Senator Minton arrived
at the Capitol in January, 1895,
he was probably even less known
nationally than the new man who
occupied the adjoining Senate
desk. Senator Truman.
In Indiana, after a locally
prominent career in private prac-
tice of law and two unsuccessful
attempts to obtain nomination to
Congress, he got the senatorial

two years and the probability of
an economic crisis similar to that
now troubling Great Britain.
Philippine prosperity has been
maintained since the war by ex-
penditure Of hundreds of millions
Of dollars by the United States
Government. The outflow of
American dollars is due to taper
OF to . comparative trickle In
1851.
The Philippines have been buy
ing abroad. mostly from the United
States, much more than they could
pay for with the dollars earned
from their own exports. American
dollar expenditures in the islands
have more than made up the diff
ference. When this special flow
Of dollars dries up, the Filipinos
will have to cut down drastically
on their foreign purchases or step
up their exports greatly in order
to pay for them.
Imports Restricted
Experts here see little prospect
Of Philippine production increasing
sufficiently to boost their exports
to a level anywhere near enough
to pay for imports at the current
rate or to make the islands self
sufficient enough not to need to
import more than they export.
The Philippine government is
taking action to try to head off
the crisis by steps to curb its i'm
ports and to increase domestic
production. But officials here

said to be limited and experts here
doubt If Philippine production
itself can do much to Offset the
islands unfavorable trade balance
for some time at least.
The 10 per cent drop in the
value Of Philippine exports during
the first half of this year was due
largely to a drastic decline in
the price and movement Of copra,
which has been the islands big
gest dollar Garner. Copra exports
declined from 464, ,906 long tons
in the first half of 1947 to $685.
732 in the first half of 1948 and
to 239,652 for the first six-month
period of this year. This was at
tributed to lower prices for fats
and oils in the United States. In
less than two weeks in January
Philippine copra prices dropped
from $345 to $3.50 per ton and
were down to $152.50 at the end
of June.
This sharp drop in copra prices
debated Philippine hopes of bal
ancing her foreign trade by in
creasing the value Of exports, and
forced attention to the alternative
OF restricting imports-as had
been recommended by the Joint
commission two years ago.
There was little sign Of doldrums
in Manila business. however, with
luxury sales increasing. Sales of
cigarettes. liquor. beer and petro-
leum products climbed during the
first half of this year. The index
of gross sales Of 10 leading Manila
business firms compared favor
ably with the same period of
1s48, and we're appreciably higher
than In 1947.

Blasted Nine Old Mem
Conceding that Judge Minton
as a Senator, uttered harsh words
about the Supreme Court of that
day. his supporters today contend
that his 1887 attack was not on
the tribunal as such, but was to
achieve reform in the public in

The proposal to add a justice
for every one over the age of 70
would have increased the number
from 8 to Is. It never came to
a vote, but eventually Congress
provided that justices could re-
tire at TO after 10 years on the
bench.
Senator Minton fired the ad-
ministration's legislative guns
with such blasts as these:
"The blight of the cold, dead
hand Of the court must not be
permitted to contaminate the
blood stream Of the Nation. =
The court has not been in step

Of that branch have in their
minds a f1xation on certain funda-

seems able to change it.
How He May Vote
"The Supreme Court is setting
itself up as a super-legislature
There is no place the people may
turn for redress of judicial abuse
Of power unless they turn to Con-
gress."
Before he took the Senate floor
on that historic issue, Senator
Minton made no secret of his dis
taste for the Supreme Court trend
at the time, and his determina-
ton to help do something about
changing some of the justices as
well as the trend.
The power Of the Supreme
Court to declare laws unconstitu-
tional should be limited, he told
the Federal Bar Association here
in 1886. He suggested that no
law should be invalidated unless

The conversations dragged al

described the Malta discussions

said that prolonged food subsidies,

Malta now is responsible for her
