Leon Blum and
Harold Laski
BY DAVID SCHWARTZ

Copyright, J"Sn :Te''-'~N Telegraphic
Agency, Inc.)
The death of Leon Blum and
Harold Laski has removed in the
last several weeks two Jews who
played foremost parts in mould
ing the political history of their
respective countries. Blum was
the only Jew since Disraeli to at
tain the rank of Prime Minister
of a major country.
For eighteen hundred years,
Jews had been virtually quiescent
as far as political activity was
concerned. In fact, even in the
case of Disraeli, his rise was made
possible only by the fact that his
father, Isaac Disraeli, had bap-
tized his children. Jews who did
not embrace Christianity were not
even permitted to vote in England
until late in Disraeli'S career.
Leon Blum was born in a day
when the world shone with the
lustre of Disraeli's greatness. and
there appears to be evidence that
Leon Blum was. as a Youngster.
fascinated by that career. Blum
was never to achieve anything Of
the romantic grandeur of Disraeli.
but like Disraei. he. too was a
writing man.
Though never rising to the lit
erary distinction of Proust or an
Anatole France, he moved in their
circles and at the age of twenty
two was already considered as one
of the best French literary critics.
He wrote daring book for his
day-and even for ourS-on the
subject of marriage.
The book attacked the double
standard which permitted men
pre-marital sexual experience and
denied the same privileges to
women. Blum argued that it was
desirable for the success of a
marriage that the partners have
equivalent experience in such
matters. He argued that the un-
equal system was responsible for
prostitution which. he said. could
exist only by virtue Of the fact
that sexual experience is sane
toned only for those who are
married. He thought that people
went through natural polYga-
nous stage in the beginning and
that promiscuitY was acceptable
until people became ready for the
stability of marriage.
Blum came of well-to-do par
ents. It would appear that it was
from his mother that he derived
his social reformist slant, His
mother had a sense of justice

90 Planes Given Reds
By Hong Kong Court
BY the Associated Press

HONG KONG, Feb. 23.-The
Hong Kong Supreme Court to-
night lifted an injunction against
80 impounded planes claimed by
Claire L. Chennault. The surprise
action means that the planes pass
into Chinese Communist hands.
The planes, formerly owned by
the Nationalist-controlled Chi
nese National Aviation Corp. and
Civil Airtransport Co. Airlines, are
valued at $20,000,O00.
Mr.. Chennault and his associ-
ates said they purchased the
planes from the Nationalist gov
ernment. Pro-Red employees OF
the two firms claimed them fol-
Communist China.
The court earlier today ruled
against Mr.. Chennault's claim OF
ownership.
With lifting of the injunction
imposed by the Supreme Court
until it decided who owned the
assets of the two airlines, the
planes revert to the firms here
A CNAC spokesman said the
planes will be flown to Peiping
seat of the Chinese Communist
government, probably within a
week.
Today'S decision was based on
what Chief Justice Sir Leslie Glib
son described as sovereign i'm
munity" which was the basis for
a claim of the planes for the Chi
nese people. The court took the
view that the Chinese Communist
government is in possession of the
corporations of the two airlines
whether they actually were in pos
session of the assets.

drop the problem of ending the

The crisis was reaching the
mass-layof stage and more emer-
gency measures were being put

Provides Congress Action.
The Taft-Hartley law provides
for the President to report to
Congress if a labor dispute, af-
fecting the national health and
safety, continues after an 80-day
court injunction period. In the
present case John L. Lewis 370,-
900 striking United Mine Workers
have refused to heed the District
Court back-to-work order.
So some of the White House ad-
visers believe Mr.. Truman would
be justified in reporting the pres
ent mine situation to Congress
without recommendation for ac-
ton. He may take that advice.
A report from the President
that Taft-Hartley machinery is
poWerless to end the coal strike
would add pressure to a move al
ready under way in Congress tc
give Mr.. Truman authority to
seize and operate the struck mines
Drive Led by Lesinski.

ton is being led by Chairman
Lesinski of the House Labor Com

ton OF the mines with the profits
going to the Federal Treasury
Mr.. Lesinski said he will introduce
the legislation if some one else
doesn't. He said his committee
will have to do a rush" job be-
cause OF the emergency.
Mr.. Truman's last stated posi-
ton was that he does not have and
does not want seizure powers
However, the statement was made
before it was apparent that the
miners would ignore Taft
Hartley strike restraining court
order.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Lewis had his
last chance today to head off the
very real threat of a multimillion
dollar fine against the treasury of

The chance was that he could
