They answer that the economic

political future of Europe can be

call a European conservatism.

should have an in
tensive study made of how and
where power to make European
laws can be given to the Assembly
and power to enforce them to the
Committee of Ministers.

An unusually large field Of

DixieCrats Nav
Be in for Scrap
Democrats Apt to Buck
Them and G. O. P. in
1850 Elections
By jack Bell

President Truman's friends may
find themselves campaigning
against Dixie Democrats as well as
Republicans next year in attempt
ing to win real control Of Congress
instead of just paper control.
Real control now rests in the
hands of a loose coalition Of Re-
publicans and Southern Demo-
Gratis. Once in a while the admin
istration can get a piece Of legis-
lation through, but even then 1t
usually is not in the form first
proposed.
On the other hand, when the
coalition decides to work together,
as it does on most major issues,
it rubs the administrations nose
in the mud with comparative ease.
Hint From Douglas
What does the administration
propose to do about 1t?
Senator Douglas, Democrat. Of
Illinois may have furnished a
hint in q little-noticed speech at
Urbana, III.
Senator Douglas spoke right out
about ''the Dixiecrats and the
conservative Republicans who
dominate Senate affairs.
"The November elections found
a paper majority Of SO Democrats
in the Senate" Senator Douglas
said. "On the face of things
there was reason to believe that
they could enact the progressive
program which voters expected.
But that majority of SO Democrats
was illusory.
1T included at least IL Dixie
Gratis whose vote on all important
matters were indistinguishable
from the more extreme forms of
Republican conservatism. 1t also
included three Northern conserv-
ative Democrats. This left work.
ing core Of but 80 liberal Demo-
Gratis in the Senate who were
helped now and then by from
four to eight liberal Republicans"
Good and Bad Democrats
He went on to observe that
"the affinity of interests between
the Dixiecrats and the Repub-
licans as reflected in their voting
records is too pronounced to be
ignored" .
There are signs that admins
tration supporters won't ignore
this affinity in next years con-
gressional campaign.
Some Of them, particularly
those campaigning in Northern
industrial States, may have just
as much criticism for their
Southern party brethren as for
the Republicans.
In the past. Northern Demo-
Gratis usually have ignored the
votes Of their Dixie colleagues.
If the administration campaigns
for the real control it wants, it
will have to explain to the voters
that-from the administration
standpoint-there are good and
bad Democrats.
BY the time the general elec-
ton rolls around, a goodly share
Of those bad" Democrats may
have been elected in effect in
primaries.
So even the Presidents best
friends admit, there is no easy
road ahead Of them. =,
