While 1t is perhaps not possible

Mrs. M eSta D"s feon'
will succeed Admiral Alan G. Kirk
who has been transferred to Mos
COW. Admiral Kirk also served as
Ambassador to Belgium. The pos
sibility that Mrs. Mesta might also
do the dual job has not been
foreclosed but 1t Is considered
unlikely.
These two diplomatic plums for
women Democrats will shortly fol-
low the Presidents nomination Of
Mrs. Georgia ,Neese Clark. Kansas
banker and national committee
woman, to be Treasurer Of the
United States. Mrs. Clark will
sign the folding money in her
pleasant prestige post In the
Treasury Department.
A Danish newspaper has COM
mented adversely on the possibil-
ity that Mrs. Mesta might be as
signed to Denmark. 1t can be
stated authoritatively that the
present arrangements were made
before such reaction was received
here.
Mrs. Mesta Qualified.
The fact happens to be that
Mrs. Mesta is fully as qualified as
many Of the men assigned abroad.
Her party giving is an amiable
failing rather than her purpose in
life, as it was to the late Evalyn
Walsh Mclean. to whom she is
often compared.
Apparently in this instance she
has done herself an injustice. be-
cause she Is actually a shrewd
business woman who has held on
to fortunes bequeathed her by her
late father and late husband. She
has proved an excellent money
raiser and organizer in her work
with the National Committee.
Like Defense Secretary johnson,
she was fearless about pointing
out to people who profited from
the Truman administration that
loyalty is d two-way street.
The Danish reaction does prove
again what women In politics al
ready realize. which Is that women
who expect preferment In govern
ment must operate on q little
higher level than men. They are
simply better received II they have
made ties In the fields of educa-
ton. child welfare and similar

Strategy of Delay
Congress Talk of Quitting for Summer
Plays Into Hands of Truman's Foes

Roosevelt Administration, includ-
ing the war period, Congress sat
almost all year round. and nobody
seemed to suffer from it particu-
larly. If a Congressman can't
stand the gaff. then he shouldn't
ask his people to send him here
in the first place. Once having
appealed for their votes and hav-
ing pledged himself to do the job
required and having been elected.
it is certainly his responsibility to
do his job. He asked for it.
What all the talk Of going home
is about may be explained by a
very simple fact. This is that the
best strategy Of opposition Is de-
lay. and opponents Of the Presi-
dents program are playing that
strategy now to the limit. Both
in and out of Congress they are
promoting the back home for
Congress" campaign. That is the
real story. No one should be
fooled.
The fiimsiness Of the argument
about waiting until next session is
illustrated by what happened in
the 80th Republican Congress.
Republicans put over their social
welfare program until the second
session. Nothing whatever was
done. for the postponement played
right into the hands Of the delay
ing strategy. The party's failure
to enact q social welfare program
contributed a great deal to its de-
feat.
This Is the time for action and
the Democratic Party can't escape
that fact.
