People Ahead of Congress in Calling
For Strengthened United Nations

an objective Of our foreign policy
should be the strengthening and
development of the United Ma
tions into a world federation with
defined and limited powers ade-
quate to preserve peace and pre-
vent aggression through enact
ment, Interpretation and enforce
ment of world law.
The other. sponsored by q
smaller but representative group
of members of Congress of both
parties, would put Congress on
record for creation of an Atlantic
union of the Western democracies,
thus excluding Russia, as the basis
of an eventual world union. This
project Is more restricted in scope
but more far-reaching within
its confines, since it would involve
a common parliament and mutual
finance and defense arrangements,
Again it was a House member
from Arkansas, Representative
Brooks Hays, Democrat. who led
discussion in behalf of the all
embracing federation and who
gave it it's full meaning by ex-
pressing the hope that our Fed
eral system that works for
$4,000. 900 people can be given by
us to the world.
A young war veteran and fresh
man House member, Representa-
tive Bennett, Democrat. of Florida.
spoke for his proposal for a pleb-
iscite or referendum of the Amer
ican people on world government,
which he argued was the proper
way to proceed, and likewise he
would have Congress spell out
the powers and limits of pro-
posed world government. To this
Representative Vorys. Republican,
of Ohio, veteran House member
and an original sponsor Of the
Fulbright Resolution as of this
one, replied that a resolution
should be a prospectus, not a
blueprint.

But they are packed away in
the hills and wales of Hong Kong
and the new territory while the
British navy, which hovers around
the harbor. slips in and out with
the same noticeable lack of osten-
tation. There are no parades and
no warlike demonstrations of any
kind. To see the troops and their
maneuvers it is necessary to drive
into the hills over winding roads.
The roads themselves are still po-
liced by the Hong Kong civil
force, mainly Chinese.
There is no attempt, either. to
play down the presence of these
reinforcements. A British infor-
nation officer conducts cores
pondents or visiting V.IP.'s about
them on request. But their, pres
ence is left to speak for itself.
Some Surprises.
What it really says IS difficult
to assess in a quick visit. 1t is
hard to see a tank corps value in
such rugged terrain and the lack
of bombers surprises an air-con-
scious American
Military observers explain that
the Chinese Communists have no
air force but a big. old-fashioned
army of foot soldiers. Nor do they
have a navy. If any assault is to
be made on Hong Kong other
than from infantry. it would have
to come from New China's friend.

submarines, some of them very
good. 1t is not anticipated that
Russia will so move. Should she
do so. the fat would be in the fire
and Hong Kong would be only a
small part of the story.
Trade May Take Hold.
Here under the guns. nobody
is making fiat predictions about
what will happen eventually but
there seems to be a reasonable
optimism about the immediate
prospects. The red leaders are

Salaried Workers Hard Hit.
Salaried workers, whether clerks,
teachers. professors or army or
navy officers, are equally hard
hit. Most of them cannot qualify
for government-built apartments,
which are intended exclusively
for the workers. And with the
shortage of housing for middle
bracket workers rents, though
controlled, are higher because of
various devices by which owners
are able to squeeze higher rents
out of tenants.
But while dissatisfied elements
in all other countries are lured
by the promises of the Commu-
nists, in Britain even the small
flash of Communist red which
appeared after the war subsidized
to the point where it is now
the palest pink in the Western

alton of jealousy independent
states into a strong federal union
which now, exactly 160 years lat
er. is the most powerful single in
f1uence in the world.
1t was so, very close to this
time, with group of men in the
House of Representatives of both
political parties who gathered to-
gether in early 1943 in the midst
of war at the instance of a young
Arkansas Congressman. J. Will
liam Fulbright, now a Senator,
and worked out the Fulbright Re-
solution which, when approved by
both branches. put Congress on
record as favoring full co-opera-
ton by the United States with
other nations after the war to
maintain international peace and
justice.
That, in itself, was the genesis
of the United Nations.
May Be So, Again
1t may be so, again, with the
group of men and women in Con-
gress of both parties and private
citizens from all walks of life
who gathered in a House commit
tee room this week to talk and
plan for the next step. This is
the evolution of the United Ma
tions of various and diverse ma
tional states into a really strong
and effective world federation or
union. The objective is exactly
the same on a larger scale as that
which the men of Philadelphia
achieved so notably in 1889 when
they welded weak and loose con-
federation into a strong union.
We should by now have expert
enced enough, learned enough,
suffered enough, to do the bigger
job. 1t should be no more diff
cult If we have faith. persistence
and vision. A careful reading of
history reveals the skepticism with
which many regarded the aim of
those men in Philadelphia 160
years ago. Scof1ng cynics said it
was impossible. But history shows
how they accomplished their pur-
pose through faith, persistence
and vision.
These essential ingredients of
progress were mentioned in pub
lie hearings before the House
Foreign Affairs Committee this
week on pending resolutions for
a stronger and more perfect union
of nations of the world, and so
also were the long-ago meetings
in Philadelphia and the more re-
cent meetings here in 1943.
Two Resolutions.
Discussion centered chiefly
about two resolutions. One is
sponsored by nearly a fourth OF

This Changing World
Britons Pay Little Heed to Communism
Despite Hardships of Working Glasses

have not been leg1slated out of
existence. They have not been
interfered with in any shape or
form. The Communists have
simply talked themselves out of
public favor. 1t has been suf-
f1cient for the government to
show that their activities were
un- British in the sense that they
did not respect the traditional
freedom which has existed in this
country for so many centuries.
The British Communist Party,
which has a few representatives
in the House of Commons, has all
the advantages of any other polit-
ical parties. It's influence on the
overall political life of the coun-
try is practically nil.
There are a number of reasons
why communism is not a problem
in the British Isles. The Labor
government has promised the
workers British utopia and from
the first days of its coming to
power has striven- to fulfill it.:
promises.
Well-Disciplined People.
The policies of the Labor gov
ernment. while nowhere nearly
as drastic, revolutionary and far
reaching as those of the Com
munists, are satisfactory to the
British working class. Being WE'LL
disciplined and a patient people,
they are not alarmed that the
Labor Party's pledges have not
yet been completely fulfilled.
They believe firmly in parliament
tary processes and are willing to
bide their time until Britain has
been completely socialized.
In the process of making over
Britain economically the Labor
government has waged war on
the capitalists of this country.
But it is not a physically destruc-
tive war as the Communists
preach. 1t is a war of attrition
carried on by the process of legis-
lation and based on a Parliament
freely elected by free English
subjects.
At the same time the Labor
government does not intend to
interfere with what is dearest
to the hearts of the English peo-
pie, i.e.. its ancient institutions
and traditions. While the Com
munists in their early days ad-
vocated abolition of titles, the
House of Lords and private prop
erty. the Labor government hon
ors and respects them all.
1t was these institutions which
made Britain at one time a great
world power. They will continue
as monuments to the past, just
like st. Paul's Cathedral, St.
James Palace and other histori-
cal sites throughout the country.
Moreover. the rank and file of the
people-who are pure of blood
since there has been no immigra-
ton for centuries-dislike and
suspect anything alien.
