lead in calling for the rearming
of Western GermanY-a complete
turn about from the policies of
four years ago. And the new
policies are only improvisations
to meet the menaceS inevitably
arising out of previous decisions,
thoughtlessly made.
That the American people f.
nally should begin to call for a
reckoning is also, we think, in
evitable.
We foresee new inquests as a
result of changes in Congress.
These, though they will not bene-
fit the Truman administration,
will be mostly post mortems. In
foreign policy, events set in mo-
ton are not reversible no matter
what changes may occur in the
national administration. But one
may rightly question whether ac-
cumulated errors and improvised
responses to their consequences
justify leaving the conduct of our
affairs in the hands of those who
had the responsibility and pre-
sumably competence.
But the Republican opposition
will not serve the country merely
by airing past errors and seeking
scapegoats. They are going to
have to consider serious alterna-
tives.

It is true that Mr.. Billingsley

why a man of his apparently sane

his own free will and accord, ask
me to appear on the Stork Club

this world every policy has conse-

has been lacking in our State De-

To give Illustrations: The pass
ing of any great nation as a power
factor inevitably creates a vacuum
into which something is bound te
flow; the division of nations be-
tween powers of contradictory in
terests and principles inevitably
creates a condition conducive tc
new conflict; the total disarm-

great powers have resisted the

G. o. P. to Hold Line.
How much effort the discour-
aged Democrats will feel like ex-
pending to reverse this new ap-
proach is problematical. But
those Republican leaders who had
wanted the whole subject deferred
until January and only reluctant
ly agreed to consider the matter
during the recess session can be
expected to hold the line against
definite action before final ad-
journment Of the 81st. BY the
same token the prospect is de-
creased for making the assess
ment retroactive in order to cap
ture a sizable portion of the
profits that have been piling up
in some industries and businesses
since the beginning of the Korean
war.
The same appears to be true
with respect to extension of Fed
eral rent control. Regardless of
other considerations the Senate
opponents of rent control have a
situation made to their order.
They can delay action until the
final gavel falls. Communities that
want rent control and haven't yet
taken positive action of their own,
as provided for in the present law,
would be we'll advised to get busy.
The President has expressed a
desire to see action in the short
session on statehood for Hawaii
and Alaska. There has been no
partisan controversy on this sub
ject and it was not a political is
sue in the campaign, but there is
some opposition in the Senate Of
a bitter-end character. Once a
vote is obtained the indications
are that the Hawaiians and Alas
kans will get their wish, but OBJ
tanning the vote has been impos-
sible thus far. For one thing there
are virtually no Hawaiians or
Alaskans among the Senators
constituents. The Senate as a
whole, in a rush Of sweet reason
ableness, might suddenly decide
to jam through the long-delayed
legislation, but that is a good deal
to expect.
Time Devoted to Alibis.
In short Senator Taft may have
said all there is to be said when
he suggested that the coming ses-
sion won't be able to do much
more than adjourn.
Much of the time during the
short stay, of course, will be de-
voted to alibis. Those Representa-
tives and Senators who won't be

what happened to them. Scott
