ernor. broke the tension.

politics are getting" he sighed
'I agree. The States got them
selves into this mess by their
apathy and indifference to the
needs OF their people. and we bet
ter not pass any resolutions to
decrease Federal aid"
Resolution Doomed.
Gov. Warren reminded his
Western colleagues that he had
found people in the East who saw
no national good in funds poured
out for reclamation and programs
which are vital to the West. Utah
said 1t refused some Federal
grants aid; had 1t refused the
grants for old-ase assistance and
reclamation. he asked. Since ap-
parently 1t hadn't. he said calmly
be saw no very great virtue in Its
stand.
These discussions clearly doom
the resolution framed last August
as all decisions of the governors
conference must be unanimous.
Constructively. several gov
ernors suggested that possible
solution was regional or inter-
state compacts on these matters.
This might meet the contention
Of Gov. Williams that some States
would be reluctant to act in the
social welfare field lest they lose
their industries to less advanced
low wage States.

The results of the conference
will be only as good as the pledges
! OF the Russians prove themselves
to be. Those pledges can be dis
counted, as was illustrated Mon
day when, after the official COM
munique had been drafted and
initiated by the foreign ministers
Mr.. Vishinsky rushed back and
asked that 1t be reconsidered be-
cause Moscow did not like some
Of its provisions.
Other Pledges Questioned.
1t is in the cards that Moscow
will find fault with many other
pledges given in Paris.
When the German treaty was
discussed in the early stages OF
the meetings between the Big -Four
ministers the question Of the
eventual withdrawal OF occupation
troops in Germany was discussed
The Western foreign ministers ex-
pected, on the basis of Moscow's
propaganda. that Mr.. Vishinsky
would demand an early evacuation
Of the Reich by the conquering
powers.
To everybody's surprise the Rus
sian proposals provide that the
occupation armies should be re-
moved within one year plus X
after a peace treaty had been con-
cluded for Germany. Mr.. Acheson,
British Foreign Secretary Bevin
and French Foreign Minister
Schuman failed to get their Soviet
colleague to explain how many
years were represented by the

gether with all other plans to uni
fy Germany and to create q truly
democratic republic
The same thing happened with
respect to Austria. with the differ
ence that Mr.. Vishinsky explained
that Russia wished 70 start moving
her troops out Of Austria within
a year after the treaty was rati-
fed. Eventually 1t agreed 70 dis
cuss the matter-this was one Of
the pledges" which the deputies
left In Paris will have to carry
out-and to reach q compromise
between the 90-day period sug-
gested by the Western powers and
the 12-month period suggested by
the Russians.
Soviet Moves Understandable.
The Russians reluctance to
hasten the departure OF their mill
tary forces from Austria Is under
standable. The day the last Soviet
soldier leaves Austrian territory.
tn Red armies in Rumania and
Hungary will have TO be with
drawn In keeping with their peace
treaties. This Is the last thing
the Russians want right now,
when "Titoism" is making deep
inroads into the Danublan pup
pet states and particularly into
Hungary.
According to reports received by
the Western governments. the in
ternal situation in Rumania-and
particularly in Hungary-is far
from satisfactory. The hungarian
people-wf1o are 10 per cent { ath-
olic-still are wrought up over the
Mindszenty case.
So long as there is a Russian
military force variously esti-
mated at 10000 to 10000 men-in
Hungary, the Hungarian state po-
lice is bound to enforce the Red
terror in the best MD-approved
manner. But If the Soviet is rep
resented in Hungary only by its
theological prestige" there is no
telling what might happen.
So long as the Red army is
available to suppress any tendency
toward independence, the situa-
ton will remain well In hand. But
If the Russian forces are with
drawn. Titoism may gain in Hun
gary and other satellite countries.
Moscow does not like this and
is expected to use the customary
tricks to delay the departure Of
its communication troops" for a
long time.

Gov. Warren put the question:
was 1t the intent thereafter for
States to levy those taxes and
themselves use them to give their
people social services with which
the Federal Government now
helps us?" The reply was that
the States reserved to themselves
the right to apply the proceeds
from the new tax sources as
they pleased.
Then no reduction In the cost

Too Hot to Handle

OF Cut in Federal Grants to States

grants.
No hands were raised.
That" said Gov. Peterson,
clearing his throat. rs Q pertinent
question. 1t was q hot day In
Chicago-and the economic sit
uation of the country has changed
since then"
A few hur-rumphs-and he was
done. Nobody else spoke up i'm
mediately. Then Gov. Lee said 1t
was "A hard question" the Gov
ernor of California posed. and he
went on to say that II the States
collected the tax money that the
Federal Government now collects
in the fields that would be re-
served to the States the people
would be more conscious Of 1t. and
would think before they imposed
taxes on themselves. It's all lost
in the blanket Federal income
and excise taxes.
The heat OF that day In Chi
cago was translated into the de-
bate on this subject as others got
In, and all of them were Repuo-
licans until the near the end
which once again showed the still
wide split in the Republican
Party at the national convention
last June. and In Congress since
between those who advocate Fed
eral aid of various sorts and those
who say they'd like to go back to
States Rights"
Out With Stark Truth.
Another freshman Republican
governor, Luther w. Youngdahl
of Minnesota. one OF Harold Stas-
sens contingent, finally came Out
with the stark truth when he said
the States have gotten themselves
into the position where they mus1
take Federal grants because oi
their apathy about social legis-
lation. He warned bluntly thai
the governors had better stop
and think before they passed any
resolutions on this subject.
Another freshman governor
Adlai Stevenson Of Illinois. q Dem.

row toward the end to line-ur
with Governor Warren which. oi

where he belongs.
Watching all this with amused
tolerance was Governor Thomas
E. Dewey of New York. who pre-
sided over the session. He hac
learned something about tht
split In his party from bitter per.
sonal experience and 1t was yer,
clear what he meant when HI
said. with q smile, as he steeret
the conference to another sub
ject:

here. After that session the gov
ernors' committee representing the
governors conference. drew up q
report suggesting that there be a
fiat 20 per cent cut in such grants
to the States, and that the States
take over certain tax fields ex-
clusively up to 20 per cent SO
they would get this revenue them
selves to use for similar or other
purposes.
That report was before the
governors conference here.
Governor Val Peterson OF Ne
braska, who helped draft the re-
port. said, apologetically. that 1t
was a hot day in Chicago. after
his fellow Republican from Cali
fornia, Governor Earl Warren. had
taken issue in very frank and
outspoken manner with any such
hard-and-fast cut and, in the
course of his remarks, had de-
Tended Federal grants to the
States as being very essential, to
his own West, among other areas.
Compelled to Speak.
The 1s48 Republican vice pres
idential candidate had been COM
PEELED to speak up finally by q
stump speech delivered by q
freshman governor, Bracken Lee
of Utah, also a Republican, who
said that local government was
being ruined by these handouts
from Washington. and when was
it ever going to stop and how is
the Nation going to pay the debt?
He wound up by explaining that
his State had refused several mil
lions of such Federal grants be-
cause 1t was unwilling to tax its
people to match such grants as
is required under the law.
Gov. Warren said it was all
right to refuse such grants. but
different States would want diff
ferent grants, and how could you
draw up a hard-and-fast rule
about a 20 per cent cut? In this
day and age, with Government on
a national scale. certain things
must be done for the people. and
the Federal Government had tc
do some of them In the very ma
ture OF things. He ended his
lecture by asking bluntly what

drafted the report was willing te
