On the Record
Freedom of Political Organization
Does Not Include Right to Conspire

ing to overthrow the Communist
Czechoslovak government. And
these men were tried before tribu-
mails without any Of the protection
regarding rules Of evidence that
obtain in American courts. Did
any Hungarian, Czech or Ameri-
can Communist protest this mar
tyrdom?"
II q man is convicted Of murder
he, too. can appeal his case, but
he is not, meanwhile, released on
ball to commit another murder.
These convicted Communists out
on bail are not barred from
further political activities pending
appeal. Before the trial they
were innocent until proved guilty.
Since it, they are guilty unless
they can get the verdict reversed.
I cannot understand the Amer
lean troubled conscience about
these fellows. No democracy has
ever "martyred" Communists.
They are not victims of lynch law.
It is lynch law that they would
establish, If they could. as a means
Of martyring their opponents.
Right and Obligations.
We all must learn that no
country can retain civil liberties.
IL it divorces them from their
purpose, takes them entirely out
Of their frame Of reference, and
interprets them to mean that
anything is permissible. The
object Of constitutional liberties
is to protect the freedom Of the
citizen within constitutional
order. If that is lost sight of,
what results is not democracy
but anarchy.
Liberty within constitutional
order cannot logically be invoked
by would-be assassins of the con-
stitutional order which guaran-
tees the liberties. That is like
q man who has murdered his
parents arguing for clemency on
the ground that he is q poor
orphan.
There is not one single civil
right that does not imply q
reciprocal obligation. Freedom
of speech is not freedom to libel
and slander; freedom to strike is
not freedom to foment q riot;
freedom Of assembly is not free
dom to organize a private pro-
tective police; and freedom of
political organization cannot in
clude the right to conspire to
destroy society.

Cautioned to Rest
Truman Heads for Key West Nov. %
For Real Vacation at Favorite Resort

White House staff-Special Coun-
sci Clifford. Secretaries Connolly,
Ross and others-are known to
be included among the Key West
vacationers. National Chairman
William M. Boyle, jr., probably
will find it convenient also to
drop in for few days.
However, the leisurely Key West
days will afford that charmed
circle it's chance to consider how
best to handle the oncoming Con-
gress which will convene only
about three weeks after the Presi-
dents return. The remaining time
in December is broken by the holi-
days and it is the period also
when final decisions regarding the
budget must be made.
Policy of Moderation.
The post-election Key West
jubilee last year saw Chief Justice
Vinson in the forefront and to
his influence is attributed the
policy of moderation the President
followed with the new Congress.
On the domestic side that policy
had its drawbacks since it sur
rendered a large measure of con-
troll to Southern conservatives.
Twelve of the 20 House commit
tees went to Southern chairmen,
nine to conservative Democrats
from Southern and border States.
/ Notably in the civil rights fight
the initiative was seized by a coali-
ton of these Southerners with the
Republicans so that a Stiffened
cloture rule confronts civil rights
advocates next year. About a
score of other Fair Deal measures
also found the going too tough.
These are underlying difficult
ties but they can be ameliorated
by better Congressional planning
and staff work. Already a New
Deal Southerner. Senator Spark
man of Alabama. has warned that
If another civil rights fight breaks
out, the Fair Deal will be leopard
lied. Republicans admit they are
planning to push civil rights; it is,
they hope. one way of embarrass-
ing the President.
/, Many influential New Dealers II,
Congress, including Senate Ma
jority Leader Lucas. believe that
the social and economic measures
which profit masses of people af-
ford a guarantee also to the Negro
that his wants are considered:
they therefore will put them first
If permitted. This group will

the Spanish economy collapsed.
Spanish politicians and econo-
mists maintain that the Com

has not been removed yet. The
Communists in Italy and France
now are merely on the defensive.
So long as the peoples in the
Marshall Plan countries receive
American gratuities to the tune

East is being contained, every
thing appears all right on the
surface.
Heavy Sacrifice Made.
Spain has been able to carry
on without any outside assist
ance for a number of years. It
has been able to heal some Of
the more obvious wounds caused
by the civil war. This has re-
quired hard work and heavy sac
rif1ce. particularly on the part Of
her industrial and farm workers.
Since the end of 1948. when it
became apparent that the present
regime would not be overthrown
by any internal move against Gen.
Franco, the Western nations have
resumed economic relations with
this country.
Spain's trade agreements with
all the Marshall Plan countries
amount to nearly three-quarters
of a billion dollars. But most of
the goods thus obtained-by vir-
tual barter-are not of real value
to the economy of this country.

 The goal was pictured by Nor ris E. Dodd, director-general of the TAO, at the opening of its an- nual conference. Representatives of 48 nations are here to tackle the job of how to increase food production in some countries and how to handle unmarketable sur pluses in others.
 Dodd is former undersecretary of the U. S. department of agricul- ture. He said in his prepared text:
 "In respect of the state of food and agriculture, 1949 has been in general what farmers call a good year, even if not quite as good in total as 1948.
 Food scarcity is no longer per ilous for nearly the whole world, as it was through 1947.

JUNEAU, (P)-Settlement of the northland's airline problems on the spot, rather than 4,000 miles away in Washington, D. C., was advocated Saturday by Harold Jones.
 He's a civil aeronautics board member from the national capital, and is meeting here with South eastern Alaska airline officials.
 "We want airlines to work out their own problems so better serv- ice may be given, rather than have the CAB make plans from 4,000 away" he declared.
 Jones said he is interested in the need of a more integrated and economical service, and expressed surprise at the heavy freight serv- ic by air.
 "I don't understand why so many things come to Alaska by air when they could just as well come by ship"
 After Juneau consultations. he will go to Anchorage and Fair banks.

LIBERALIZATION FOR ALASKA

 No matter what Alaskans may say desire, Assistant Secretary Warne of the Interior Department, is going rgh ahead with his pet Federazed plans for Alaska.
 Recent press dispatches say he has withdrawn areas of 900 each known the kaSof The idea is to develop paternastic farms of 15O acres each.
 The government will do the clearing build roads, construct farm buildings and loan money at low rate of interest
 On the face of it it sounds good.
 Maybe it will do as he expects, increase Alaskas pop ulaon some 20000 Maybe, also, it may in time prove to be an excellent farming community, real asset to Alaska
 without consent of Alaskans land that should belong to future State This any other such withdrawals, will be morgaged to the government, will be tederalzed sections inside State over which the state residents will have say.
 The principle is socalistic paternastic, un-Ameri can and without the consent of the governed.
 Look at it from another point of view.
 The farmers" will essentially be tenants They will have to do exactly what the government agents tell them to do. They cannot their individual initiative to build the kind of residences they want barns fences and put in the kind of crops they want.
 They must follow government pattern, whether they like 1t or not
 We all know that farmers cannot make go of it in Alaska without financial assistance But if they will ing to take chance they should be allowed longerm loan at low rate of interest and let them do their own planning They could do this if they secured money from private sources Moreover they government work under direction will cost them great deal in the end, since if they their own, they would do much of the necessary work themselves. We thought when had gotten rid of lckeS the nte rior Dept. would be through with making Alaska an experimental ground without consent of the inhabitants and highhanded ukases for land withdrawals, but it looks like against the old government rack eteer game.
