supervision over all territories with de-
pendent status. On the other hand, the
colonial powers seem Justified in their
contention that no such jurisdiction was
contemplated when the Charter was
signed. France has stated, categorically
that it would never have signed the
Charter if 1t had known that any such
claim would have been raised.
The dispute is especially unfortunate in
that it gives the Soviet bloc fresh ammuni-
ton In its assaults on "colonialism" and
imperialism" allegedly practiced by the
Western Powers Unless the issue can be
constructively settled, q rift will have
opened within the non Communist world
that could have grave repercussions on
other issues. It should be understood that,
technically, Soviet Russia has no depend
ent" areas in the traditional sense of col
onies. 1t Is thus enabled to strike virtu-
Gus pose and denounce the conduct of
others which, at most, are combinations
of long-established conditions and institu-
tions. Meanwhile, Soviet Russia is sub
jecting lands and peoples to oppression and
exploitation worse than any "colonialism"
known in modern times.
Evening star., 1949-12-06
u. N. and Colonies

What seems to be an issue of funda-
mental Importance has arisen within the
United Nations concerning jurisdiction
over dependent peoples. Despite the ac-
quirement of sovereignty by most of the
peoples of Asia formerly under the colonial
rule of Western nations, some 200,000,000
people in various parts of the world are
still in colonial status, the bulk Of them
in Africa. The suzerain powers are Britain,
France, Belgium, the United States, Portu
gal and Spain, the last two not yet being
members OF the United Nations. The quar-
rel has arisen over the action of the Gen.
eral Assembly which, by large majorities
has passed series of resolutions providing
for continuing U. N. investigation and re-
view OF conditions in all colonial areas.
These resolutions are bitterly opposed by
Britain, France and Belgium, who contend
that this action Of the Assembly is an illegal
attempt to amend the U. N. Charter by
arrogating rights to the Assembly which
were never contemplated when the U. n
was formed. They argue that the Assembly
would be empowered to intervene in the
affairs of colonial areas, determining what
political changes should be made including
the grant of government and eventual
independence. Such claims by the As
sembly are denounced as unconstitutional
and illegal. The colonial powers, there
fore, together with South Africa and Lux
embourg, have announced that they con-
slider the resolutions invalid and refuse to
be bound by them.
In all this, our Government takes
middle of -the-road attitude. Itvoted "No"
on the especially contentious resolution on
political matters, believing that the colonial
powers are not required under the Charter
to give the Assembly such jurisdiction.
And we likewise abstained from the resolu-
tion empowering u N. investigation into
what constitutes non-self governing ter
ritory. Our Government did this despite
the fact that 1t has voluntarily provided
such information concerning Hawaii,
Alaska, Guam and other American depend
encies.
Obviously, the issue cuts deep. The ma
jority Of the q. N. membership clearly
favors what amounts to far-reaching
Evening star., 1949-12-06
Mr.. SaWyer's Bid

It would seem wise to welcome with
some reservation the apparent bid from
the Truman administration for improved
relations with the industrial community.
Secretary Of Commerce Sawyer says the
President has directed him to head up a
move to unity and strengthen Federal
antitrust policies. A major goal will be to
seek voluntary compliance with the anti
trust laws from businessmen and to clarity
for them what is prohibited by the law
and what 1t permits.
Something of this sort is needed. and
there is no doubt that Mr.. Sawyer is en-
tirely sincere in undertaking the program.
But the left hand of Government has a
way of not knowing, or not caring, what
the right hand is doing. Only this week.
for instance, the Supreme Court handed
down an opinion which in effect is a
rebuke to the Antitrust Division OF the
Department Of Justice.
This agency, which Is responsible for
enforcement of the antitrust laws, had
brought suit against the Yellow Cab Com
pany for an alleged conspiracy to violate
the law. The trial Judge, after hearing the
evidence, decided the case in favor OF the

A Local Responsibility

Representative Oael1, Va AeASuSAJ'
blames inadequate laws and inadequate
law enforcement for the alarming series
of sex crimes throughout the Nation. But
the remedy which he suggests for the situ-
ation-transferring responsibility for sex
crime eradication from local authorities to
the Federal Governments neither prac-
ticable nor desirable.
Mr.. Chelf, a member Of the House Judici-
ary Committee points to the Federal kid
naping law as an analogous use OF Federal
power to control crime. The analogy Is
not q good one, however for the Lindbergh
law covers only kidnapings in which the
victims are transported across State lines.
Sex crimes which happen to involve
transportation across State lines can be
handled now by the Federal Bureau Of
Investigation under authority of the Lind
bergh law or of the Mann Act.
The vast majority of sex offenses do not
involve an interstate angle, however. They
involve, for the most part, rapes or
murders within the jurisdiction of State
laws and State, county or municipal au-
thorities. There is no more reason why
the FBI should take on the enormous job
Of investigating all sex crimes than that
Of investigating murders In general, or
robberies or other felonious crimes.
Mr.. Chelf is on the right track, however,
In urging that sex laws be made stronger
and enforcement of them more vigorous.
The District of Columbia has set good
example for other local jurisdictions to
follow. It has begun enforcement OF
new sex-crime statute that affords real
safeguards for the public. The law attacks
the sex-fiend menace in two outstanding
ways: First, it lifts from the misdemeanor
to the felony category the crime OF molest-
Ing children-a move that enables the
courts to put offenders out OF circulation
for longer periods than in the past; second
1t provides for psychiatric examination of
repeated offenders and for their commit
ment to Saint Elizabeths Hospital for
treatment. They are kept in the hospital
rs long Is they are considered dangerous
to be at large. number of habitual sex
offenders already have been committed to
the institution under the new system.
Only q few States have similar anti-sex-
crime laws. There Is good reason to believe
that If all States had such stiff laws, fewer
sex maniacs would be at large and fewer
crimes of the sort that have shocked so
many communities In recent months would
have taken place. The proper body to
strengthen sex-crime law enforcement
generally is not Congress but the State
legislature
