Senator Dulles

John Foster Dulles is so well qualified
for the United States Senate that it is
too bad he will be able to serve there only
very briefly. Under Governor Dewey's ap-
pointment, his senatorial role will be lin
tied to the period between now and next
December /. Apparently he has no in
tention of running in New York's special
November election to fill the vacancy
for the full unexpired term-caused by
Senator Wagners retirement
Mr.. Dulles is one of those able Ameri-
cans whose presence in any branch OF
our Government is beneficial to the Nation
at large, and not merely to single State
or district. Particularly in the field Of
international affairs, both as a key ad-
wiser to Governor Dewey and as an out
standing United States representative at
Big Four meetings and in the councils Of
the United Nations, he has been great
contributing force in the development of
our bipartisan foreign policy. He would
almost certainly have been our Secretary
of State today had Mr.. Dewey been
elected President last November.
But perhaps it is just as well that Mr..
Dulles seems determined to be a Senator
onlv until next December. 1t is true
enough that in these days of the cold

Steel As d Test

The impending showdown in the steel
industry, with its threat of strike
against big Steel" on July 16, certainly
will have profound bearing on the ma
tional economy.
The United Steel Workers, headed by
CIO President Philip Murray and repre-
senting about 100000 workers, is bidding
for fourth-round wage increase. 1t has
asked for an hourly increase in an un-
specified amount, certain improvements
in employe insurance provisions, and
$3.50 monthly pension for retired workers.
The steel industry is willing to negotiate
on the insurance proposals. but has turned
down the wage and pension demands.
Thus, the two real issues are wages and
pensions. Mr.. Murray will be hard
pressed to justify the unions position with
respect to the latter. The contract runs
until April, 1850, and contains a provision
! that it can be opened prior to that date
only for discussion of wage increases and
certain types of insurance benefits. The
union says that the request for pen
sion is, in effect, a wage demand. Steel
spokesmen deny this Hence, there is a
dispute as to the meaning of the language
of the contract, and in such situation
the contract provides for arbitration. The
industry says it is willing to arbitrate, and
Mr. Murray would be in an untenable
position if he should refuse to arbitrate
and resort to strike on the pension issue.
So the chances are that the showdown
will come over the wage demand The
management says that it cannot and will
not agree to any wage increase in the light
of present business conditions. 1t says
that since 1940 the average hourly wage
creased 97.7 per cent as against cost-of-
living increase of 68.9 per cent in the same
period. Living costs, the management says
are declining, and at the same time there
has been drastic falling off in orders for
steel products, accompanied, of course, by
drop in steel production.
In short, the industry contends that
with business falling off and living costs
dropping, there is no justification for a
fourth wage increase for the steel workers.
The unions reaction remains to be de-
termined. No doubt it will set forth argu-
ments in support of its demands But
there can hardly be any debate over the
two central propositions-t living costs
are down and that for the time at least,
the volume of steel sales is declining To
force pattern setting wage increase in
this situation would seem likely to result,
as the industry contends would be the
case, in still higher prices, further de-
crease in sales and production, and more
unemployment.
The term labor craftsmanship" fire.
quently has been associated with the in
dustrial policies pursued by Mr.. Murray
and his union. It looks as though the
country is in for a critical test of the
quality of that craftsmanship.

No Room for Communists

The firm and decisive stand which the
National Education Association has taken
against Communists in the teaching pro-
fesSion is certain to meet with general
public approval. 1t is also stand which
gives ample proof that these teachers see
clearly the dangers of extending academic
freedom to those who would destroy it.
DR.. John K. Norton. chairman of the
Educational Policies Commission which
recommended the Communist bar,
stated the issue succinctly when he asked
the 5000 delegates Shall persons who
have pledged their minds to an interna-
tional conspiracy, who have given away
that intellectual integrity and freedom to
think which is the very essence of and
purpose of academic freedom, have the
right to teach?" The commission, whose
members included President Eisenhower
Conant of Harvard, held fatty that Com
munists forfeited their right to teach
when they submitted to party line thought
control.
The associations unequivocal stand
against Communist teachers followed an
earlier resolution by the NEA Department
of Classroom Teachers opposing the sin
Cling out of teachers for loyalty oath re-
qurements. While it is understandable
that teachers might resent this dis
elimination" as being a reflection on their
loyalty as a group. the fact remains that
they occupy peculiar position that sets
them apart from other public employees.
For they have the unique privilege and
responsibility of instructing and molding
the Nations youth. 1t is because of their
strategic position that the Communists
have made special efforts to infiltrate
school and college faculties. They have
met with some success in various educa-
tional institutions. 1t is hard to see how
Communists can be exposed and excluded
from the schools unless there are ade-
quate loyalty screening measures, includ-
ing an oath requirement designed as a
basis for possible perjury proceedings
1t is because the teachers as a whole
are loyal Americans that they naturally
resent any implication that, as a class,
they are otherwise. But some workable
method of preventing Communist infiltra-
tion is necessary. The NEA anti-Commu-
mist stand leaves no doubt as to the
teachers recognition of the evils of
such Observation-Disclosures the screening
methods used to combat the infiltration.

Lowell Mellett Challenged
On Barden Bill Comments
rT,o ~ rd;tor ~ rrb> Ca,

Lowell Mellett in The Star of June %,
donated his column to the use of one of the
most violent and INSCRIPTIONS propaganda
campaigns on the American scene--the
Catholic hierarchys twin attacks on Ameri-
can public education and on the "separa-
ton" which undergirds all American free
donl-for discussion" of the Barden bill
His entire column carried tllinly yelled
implication that the bills hackers were dis
ciples of intolerance"
He made the same inaccurate and ir-
responsible statement that Cardinal Spell
man previously made: 1T 0he bilD would
specifically forbid the use of Federal funds
in any way for the bereht of parochial
school children" It is thoroughly under
stood-even by the hierarchy-that public
funds cannot be used legally for parochial
schools and that the only way parochial
pupils may directly benefit from such funds
is through giving the funds the status of
welfare" grants to the chlldren-not the
school, In legislatures and courts, the Cath
olics-with some success-have fought to
have transportation, health and textbook
services transferred to the welfare" cate
CORY. A number of State courts have re-
fused to accept the transfer, two Western
States having barred transportation in the
past few months. The Catholics probably
will not appeal these cases for fear of losing
the fnger-hold of legality they obtained
when deeply riven United States Supreme
Court, in tortured 5-4 decision, upheld
them on transportation few years ago.
These welfare" services-n they are such
cannot be educational" and. if they are not
welfare" they cannot legally be granted
to parochial schools. It is this legal fog
bank that the Barden bill avoids by confin-
ing its grants strictly to unquestionably
educational purposes. Obviously, such grants
can only go to public schools. The bill
simply does not provide funds for "wel
fare" purposes to any children-public or
parochial. However, it does not prevent the
States from using their own funds for such
purposes. In cutting itself free from the
highly controversial now it is-now it isn't
welfare field" the bill thus may well avoid
doing violence to the principle of "separa-
tion," which is under sufficient attack from
other quarters.

Puerto Ricun Visitor

This city now Is host to Luis MunoZ
Marin, first elected Governor of Puerto
Rico and leader of the Popular Democratic
Party which controls the political scene in
that island. Governor Marin is notable
alike in his Office, his personality, and his
ideas. His election to the governorShip
last January marked the climax of polit-
ical evolution extending over half CEN
tury which has transformed Puerto Rico
from a backward colony of Spain into
forward-looking entity closely and har-
moniously associated with the United
States.
Our relations with Puerto Rico consti
tute gratifying record of liberal policy.
No attempt was ever made to "assimilate"
it's people, in the sense of imposing our
language and culture upon theirs. While
integrating the island into our economic
system and instituting an educational
pattern familiarizing the rising generation
with our ideas, ideals and methods, the
Puerto Ricans were left free to develop
their own local identity and Individuality
The result has been genuine syntheSis
between their ancestral Spanish heritage
and the larger outlook conferred by the
American connection.
OF this SyntheSiS, Governor Marin is an
outstanding example. Much of his early
life was passed in the United States, and
so we'll did he absorb our culture and out
look that he became a successful writer in
English, occupying a recognized position
in New York's literary and artistic life a
quarter-century ago. Returning to his
.1lo IA
ing the ideas held by the party of which
he is today the acknowledged head. The
root concept is that Puerto Rico's destiny
lies neither in complete integration with
the United States as an undiferentiated
member of the Federal Union nor in
severing of the American connection and
full independence, which would be eco
nomically harmful and politically hazard
Gus. The Popular Democratic platform
envisages a special relationship of Puerto
Rico to the United States combining full
self-government with intimate association.
The nearest analogy to this projected
status Is perhaps that of Dominion
member of the British Commonwealth.
Such status, fully regularized by the
attainment of a separate constitution for
the island, could have profound repercuS-
sions upon our relations with the whole
of Latin America. It would symbolic
| what forward-looking Puerto Ricans en-
visage as their special role-that of an
theological cultural, and practical bridge
| between the United States and our south
ern neighbors. Such role would be highly
fruitful to ourselves, and could well be
stimulated by our aid in solving the is
lands pressing economic problems, helping
to raise its living standards, and improv-
| ing it's educational facilities Governor
Marin is doing his best to grapple with
those problems from the local end by his
current program of industrialization to
supplement agriculture as source of live
| lihood for the islands population.
