Flanders Hos New Reason
Why Toft Should Step Down
by the Associotsd Pres,

A Republican Senator who op-
poses the policies of his party leaders
came up with new reason TODAY
why Senator Taft should step down
from his top Republican post in
the Senate.
The Ohioan is hurting his
chances for reelection" said Sena-
tor Flanders of Vermont.
Senator Taft heads the Senate
Republican Policy Committee, which
has come under sharp attack from
group of IA Republican Senators
who disagree with his views and
those Of other veteran leaders. The
dissatisfied IA failed in an effort to
unseat Senator Taft earlier this
month.
Senator Flanders, who at 68 calls
himself lone Of the grizzled Young
Turks" OF the party, said the group
personally likkes Senator Taft and
appreciates his abilities, but dis
agrees with him on what is polit-
ically wise for the party and his own
political future"
He said that Senator Taft. as de
termined holder of the reins, the
throttle and the rudder of Repub-
lican Senators, is hurting his
chances for reelection by exhibiting
the qualities which do him the least
justice"
I'm certain he would be more
popular with Ohio voters if he acted
as an independent sharpshooter, :"
Senator Flanders added.

greatness of Nehru rests in the fact
that he is not an Asia for the

tionalist, Western minded and East
conscious.
No Monopoly on Know-ho
But can we Americans set out to
help make. not an American CEN
tury, but a century of men of good
will? Can we steadily realize that
we have no monopoly of know how
that many European countries with
long experience in the East have
greater knowledge of conditions
economic. religious and lingual?
There will be plenty of people
scheming to grab up in the name
Of anti-imperialism the spoils of
dissolving empires. Can we keep
them back from the trough?
Can we meet, and master, the
conflicts that surely will arise out of
such a program, among and be-
tween the Eastern and Western ma
tions?
If we can, we shall be on the way
toward a genuine East-West COM
monwealth. The task is enormous,
the difficulties immense, the prom
ises overextended in terms of fore
seeable time. 1t took centuries to
build the empires now dissolving.
1t will take more than decades to
build the cooperative common
wealth envisaged-for that is pre-
cisely what is envisaged, If Presi-
dent Humans words are carried to
logical conclusions.

penetrating. We would be described
by Moscow propagandists as "fail
weather friends" who abandon
those who were loyal to us when
adversely strikes. Thus we would
lose more face throughout Asia. and
particularly in the Middle East
Our policies would be described as
spanked by opportunism.
From the practical viewpoint
these high officials point out, we
have never been able to maintain
listening posts in any of the coun-
tries behind the Iron Curtain
Movements Of our diplomatic. and
consular officers are drastically re-
stricted. ANY contact with the ma
tives, outside of those especially
designated by the powers that be, is
impossible There are strong "sani-
tary cordons" around American
embassies and consulates, which are
watched closely by the secret police.
Unauthorized visitors. that is all
but secret police agents, are arrest
ed on charges of conspiracy and
high treason.
Reports From Missions.
Official reports from our missions
in Moscow, Warsaw, Prague, Bucha-
rest and Sofia tell sad story about
how American foreign service Of
ficers, from chiefs of mission down
to lowest ranking clerks, are mis-
treated by local governments under
strict orders from Moscow.
Information from those embassies
and legations is based on gossip
picked up in conVe1 SationS with
other nations diplomats and ON re-
ports from the daily newspapers,
which publish nothing but what
the Red dominated governments tell
them to publish.
Under such conditions, say those
who oppose the maintenance of
diplomatic relations with any Com
munist government in China, it
would be useless to sentence Amer
ican foreign service officers to q
diplomatic concentration camp"
These men maintain, and they have
tangible evidence, that our moral
stock would have been higher in the
world if we had refused to keep a
diplomatic mission in Hungary, for
instance, after the Soviet pulled its
coup and organized a puppet gov
ernment in Budapest.
We deprecated the arbitrary action
of the Russians and denounced the
new Red government, but we kept
our legation in Budapest because
we wanted listening post in the
capital of that Danubian republic.
Experience has shown. however, that
our mission in Budapest Is of little
practical value for such a purpose.

Conflicts Sure to Arise in Movement
Toward East.West Commonwealth

niscent Of the worst epochs Of 18th
century imperialism, forming com.
panies of nationalized industries
with the Soviets holding 81 per cent
of the stock, and forcing states te
sell commodities at fractions of the
world market price. Tito's revolt
is a protest against this new CO.
lonialism.
Will the West succeed? Yes, If il
keeps pure heart, and holds indi-
vidual enterprisers to clear condi-
tions of cooperation with the end
envisioned.
The end envisioned is to free the
colonial areas and keep, extend and
equalize their economic ties with the
West on terms which will bring
equal benefits to the West, espe-
cially Europe, and to the new states
of the East-which are lacking in
scientific technology, rational eco
nomic organization and industrial
know-how.
The West is far better equipped
to create mutually beneficent ties
with former colonial areas than is
the Soviet Union. And, unlike the
conditions of the Marshall Plan,
American cooperation would not be
IA one-way flow. Still under the
British crown are vast areas of Al
rica with huge resources which, If
developed. would be of mutual bene-
fit to the indigenous populations
adjoining Europe and ourselves.

Nor by a footnote reminding us
to listen every Sunday evening to
the excellent and expensive radio
program, The Theater Guild on

President Truman may have the
answer. He suggested recently that
the Government might have to
build a steel plant of it's own to
help meet the Nations needs. And
when asked on Thursday he COM
mented on the special dividend just
declared by United States Steel, out

Attitude in Congress.
Returning to the matter Of slum
clearance, the times have changed
in another respect. There has
ceased to be any important political
opposition to public housing. Re-
publicans in the House and the Sen
ate have introduced bills on the
subject identical with that intro
duced by administration Democrats,
save as to the amount of housing
to be authorized.
The Senate bill bears an imposing
list of names: Senators Baldwin,
Flanders, Tobey. Aiken. Margaret
Smith, Morse, Saltonstall, Young,
Knowland, Lodge, Thye, Ives and
that hardy warrior in the housing
field. Senator Taft. 1t would pro-
vide for 100000 housing units in six
years. That's 100000 more than was
contemplated by last years bill for
which Senator Taft fought, bled and
died.
1t was in the House that Senator
Taft and his Democratic and Re
publican cosponsors met their de-
feat. But the House bill now intro
duced by 10 Republicans-Javits,
Bolton, Case. Garfield. Hand, Lodge,
Patterson, Pfeiffer, Riehlman and
Tollefson-goes further than the
Senate bill. 1t would provide
100000 units in six years.
The administration bill proposes
l,05O,o0o units in seven years.
These three forces coming together
are certain to produce a new and
far-reaching public housing and
slum clearance program. 1t is now
only question of the number of
houses to be built.

the United States Government to
deal directly with the newly estab-
lished government.
The advocates of such a step say
that as much as we may distrust
the new government, admittedly
headed by Moscow stooges, it is
important for our national interests
to continue diplomatic relations in
order to have listening posts in a
country which eventually may be-
come our enemy, if Moscow orders it
See Nothing Gained.
To withdraw American diplomatic
and consular representatives, say
these officials, would be to cut off
our nose to spite our face. There
is nothing to be gained, according
to the proponents of normal,
friendly diplomatic intercourse"
with all nations, in arguing with the
inevitable. Maintenance OF tore,gn
service officers in potential enemy
territory would be only to our ad-
vantage, they contend, since we thus
would have American eyes and
ears" in Communist China.
" "A, more realistic group of Govern
ment officials says that maintenance
of any kind of diplomatic relations
with the puppet government which
Moscow expects to establish now in
Northern China would hurt us
from the moral point of view and
would bring us no advantages in
gathering of information of Com
munist activities.

If it prevails it must ultimately

on how he views the state of the
Nation and the future of the Re.
publican Party.
Despite five consecutive defeats ir
presidential campaigns, Senator
Taft said the Republican Party will
survive and prevail" He said the
losses have been due more to its
failure in presenting its principles
to the people than in those princi-
pies"
Concerned Over Foreign Policy.
While most of his talk was de-
voted to domestic issues, Senator
Taft also expressed concern over
what he called tendency" in
American foreign policy Ito inter-
fere in the affairs of other nations,
to assume that we are kind of
demigod and Santa Claus to solve
the problems of the world
This attitude, he warned, lis
more and more likely to involve us
in disputes where our liberty is not
in fact concerned"
Senator Taft, who comes up for
reelection in 1850, said he was not
speaking for his party, but express
ing only his own belief with which

agree"
Outlines Principles.
He then outlined these as prin-
ciples of the Republican Party:
Human liberty, equal justice under
law, equality and no special priv
llege, peace, higher standards of liv-
ing and prevention of hardship and
poverty.
There was a time" the Ohioan
said, when these were the prin-
ciples of all American parties, while
they differed on less consequential
matters. Even today the Demo-
cratic Party gives lip service to
many of the various principles
which its policies are certain to
destroy. " ="
Perhaps the greatest miscarriages
of justice which have ever occurred
in the United States" he added,
occurred under the National Labor
Relations Board interpreting the
Wagner Act

Yet, today, President Truman is
trying to restore the unlimited and
unrestrained power of that board" "
Reaffirming his intention to fight
administration efforts to repeal the
Taft-Hartley Labor Act, Senator
Taft said:
THE Republican Party should
stand today as it has stood in the
past, for rule of law instead of
the rule of arbitrary men,
