The Trieste Elections

The elections just held in Trieste have
far more than local significance. Tech
nically, these were municipal elections for
a city administration. But the real issues
were criss-cross between competing ma
tionalisms and East-West 'ideologies. The
voters were called upon simultaneously to
register their preference for Italy or Yugo-
slavia and for communism or democracy.
Up to Marshal Tito's break with the
Cominform, the choice
would have been less complicated, because
Tito's Yugoslavia,. which, covets Trieste,
was at the same time an orthodox COM
munist state. But the breach with Moscow
at once split the Triestine Communists
into two parties, certain portion Of the
Slav-feeling Comrades subordinating their
nationalist sentiments to the party line"
held by the Italian-feeling Communists,
who were thus free to voice their national
ist feeling for union with Italy. That
swelled the impressive majority for Italian
union registered by the voters, most of
whom are Italian in speech. culture and
racial origin. This result indicated the
recommendation Of the Western Powers
that Trieste be reunited to italy rather
than remain Free Territory" under the
special administration of the United Ma
tions.
That territorial status had been tenta-
lively adopted as compromise between
Yugoslavia's demand for annexation and
the reluctance of the Western Powers to
such a solution, contrary as 1t would have
been to the wishes of the Italian feeling
majority and ulcerating to national senti-
ment throughout Italy But the opposition
of the Eastern bloc in the U. N. has pre-
vented the setting up of legal admins
tration under the q. NJ, so Trieste has re-
manned Professionally under the military
government set up by the United States
and Britain when their troops occupied
Trieste at the close of the late war. And
It is this Anglo-American military govern
ment that has sanctioned the current mu-
nicipal elections, in order both to permit
the inhabitants measure of self-govern-
ment and to enable them to register their
larger political preferences.
Another proof of the essentially Italian
character of Trieste Is the way the electors
voted for candidates of various parties all
most In the same ratio as those are rep
resented In the italian Parliament. The
Christian Democrats proved the strongest.
and, with their allies In the present Italian
coalition government, they won an abso-
lutte majority In the Trieste election.

because they do not deserve much more.
This tight little game that Is being played
has repealed me and many OF my acquaint-

Bedford Lawson Speaks
The principal address on this
occasion was made by Bedford v.
Lawson, general president Of Al
phR Phi Alpha fraternity, who
spoke on The Role Of the Fra
ternity in a Democratic Society"
Mr.. Lawson noted the great
concern all over the world toward
the achievement Of peace. He
challenged the representatives Of
the fraternities and sororities
that they must avoid the mistake
of confusing the symbol for the
substance. Peace" he said, has
equal TO human relations which Is
equal TO justice and freedom"
Peace is more than the alb
sence Of war; it Is the presence
Of justice, and for world peace to
be attained justice must be spread
all over the world"
Much of our present confu-
sion," he said, results from our
failure to develop social controls
as rapidly as we have developed
our chronological sciences"
Science" he said, must learn
that love and equality can conquer
when force fails.
II world peace is TO be attained,
according to Lawson, the leaders
Of the world must recognize the
aspirations Of the millions all over
the world who seek for them
selves freedom and equality.
AS an example, there can be no
peace in America as long as the
average annual income for the
white worker IL $500 as COM
pared 10 $1,000 for the Negro.
"our destiny is in our own
hands" Lawson said. He believes
that the approach to world peace
must give consideration to three
important factors: the sciences,
politics, and religion.
'In science" he said, I'VE must
recognize the Importance of hui
man relations, of psychiatry and
psychology Politics must guar
antee an economy which win pro-
vide freedom to all men, and the
