This Changing World
Congress Due to Pass Bill to Allow
Army to Enlist $500 Displaced Aliens

these experienced Poles the age
limit was raised 10 years over the
Lodge proposal.
Foreign Legion" Dropped.
The original idea of creating an
American Foreign Legion" has
been completely abandoned. In
the past only the French have
been successful in organizing such
a military force. which was used
primarily in the colonies and
particularly in Africa. The French
system of recruiting was not pal
atable to this country.
Our top military leaders were
reluctant to permit men without
a country and without a name to
join the American Army. Some of
the French legionnaires were
criminals, who found shelter from
the laws of their respective coun-
tries under the Foreign Legion's
flag. Others were simply shady
characters. while still others
sought high adventure in the
campaigns against African and
Asiatic tribesmen. Whether the
enlisted man was a doctor Of
philosophy or an illiterate was i'm
material to French recruiting Off
GERS. The only requirement was
excellent health,
The American Army. however,
seeks men of high moral charac-
ter and the Investigations pro-
vided for those foreigners who will
want to join the American Army
under the new setup are likely to
be more severe than they are for
young Americans who enlist in
the armed forces.
The bill permitting enlistment
of limited number of aliens in
the Army is expected to come to
the floor of the House next week.
According to current reports there
will be upwards of 10000 men ap-
plying for between $500 and 5000
vacancies. These positions will
give the successful applicants all
the advantages of pay and upkeep
of American soldiers. They will
also have the possibility of be-
coming citizens without having to
wait for already overfilled immi-
grafton quotas.

On the Other Hand
North Carolina Election Has Great
Significance in Southern Politics

little man with the heart OF a
lion had set q pattern Of democ-
racy for all of the Far East to
emulate.
What then could defeat him in
North Carolina? The race issue.
Raised i'm Rawest Form.
It was raised in its raweSt form
and not only by the Reynolds or
ganization, but by those who had
made Mr.. Smith their candidate.
The State was flooded with post
cards. post-marked New York
City, purporting to appeal for DR..
Graham's election, but in Ian
guage calculated to hurt him by
arousing both race prejudice
and resentment against outside
Northern - interference. Anony-
nous handbills appeared with pic
lures of American Negro soldiers
dancing with white girls in Eng
land and with captions insinuat-
ing Dr.. Graham's approval.
The specific case against the
Senator was his alleged sympathy
with the proposal for a compul-
sorry Fair Employment Practices
Commission. Two years ago he
served as q member Of the Presi-
dents Committee on Civil Rights.
The report of this committee de-
clared in favor Of the FEPC and
is the basis of the bill that now
has the United States Senate up
set, with the Southern members
engaged in a mass filibuster. The
report, however, said: "a minority
of the committee favors elimina-
ton of segregation as an ultimate
goal but opposes the imposition
of Federal sanctions"
The minority" was DR.. Gra-
ham, according to other commit
tee members. and that is the an
swer of DR.. Grahams supporters to
MIR. Smith. The question remained
as to whether, in those parts,
elimination Of segregation can be
condoned even as an ultimate
goal"

First Arms Shipment

ceases to divide the national
Democratic Party.
The contest lay between three
readily recognizable elements in
Southern politics: One had for its
candidate Robert r. Reynolds,
former United States Senator of
the old rabble-rousing school, COM
pletely dependent on illiteracy and
prejudice for its success. North
Carolina's steadily diminishing IL
literacy may account for Mr..
Reynolds rating a bad third in
the betting. Another element had
for its candidate Willis Smith. a
distinguished corporation lawyer,
a former president of the Ameri-
can Bar Association, a conserva-
tive gentleman capable of repre-
senting the views of the States
business and industrial interests
or the greater part thereof. His
hopes rested less on illiteracy, but
quite as heavily on race prejudice,
from which the well-born and
educated of the Carolinas are not
at all free.
Graham HI In Hospital.
Then there was the present
Senator. DR.. Frank p. Graham,
lying Ill in the hospital during
much Of the campaign, wondering
what the pople Of North Carolina
would write next in the open book
Iof his life; how much farther they
would go with him in the practical
liberalism that has marked every
step of his remarkable career.
He is Senator only by grace Of
appointment to fill an unexpired
term, not by election. But the
appointment. unexpected as it
was, thrilled the State when made,
for the people had great pride in
the man who headed the State
University. Recognized elsewhere
as the States No. / citizen, he
was not without honor also at
home.
After all. he had made the
State school widely known for
something beside football. And it
had come to seem that the Gov
ernment in Washington couldn't
function without summoning DR..
Frank to advise it. even before he
became a Senator. And when the
United Nations had need of q man
to clear q democratic path
through the. jungle of imperialism
and radical revolution in Indo-
nesia it had turned to him and
had been well pleased with the job
he did. It was said that the gentle

Baltic states, between the ages of
81 and 35 shall be permitted to
join the United States armed
forces. These aliens, who pref
erably should be "officer ma
terial," will be accepted as volun-
teers for five years.
After this term Of service they
will be qualified for full American
citizenship under the same pro-
visions of law which at the present
time permit aliens employed in
the merchant marine to qualify
for citizenship without the re-
quired five years residence in the
United States.
First Proposal by Lodge.
The proposal to allow reliable
foreigners to be inducted into the
American armed forces was made
by Senator Lodge four years ago,
but for various reasons his bill
was shelved. The Massachusetts,
Republican originally had sug-
gested that $4,000 such persons be
integrated into the Army in order
to provide a police force which
the reduced American military
contingents in Europe had diff
Guilty providing.
The new bill, as it stands now
will use a much smaller number
OF foreigners as specialists. That
is to say, they will be employed
as instructors of various languages
and will familiarize the members
of our military forces with the
customs and geography of various
parts of their native Eastern Eu-
ropean countries. After five years
in the United States Army abroad
these men will be permitted to
apply for citizenship and perma-
nent Army commissions.
The age limits of 81 to Is orig
inally proposed by Senator Lodge
were extended to 35 to enable the
Army to use some of the COM
petent officers of the Polish forces
which fought on our side in Italy
and other parts of Europe and are
now available.
The Polish divisions, led by Gen
Anders. were disbanded at the enc
OF the war. Some officers and mer
remained in England; others went
to France and Italy in civilian
status. But they are still vaguely
connected with their former com.
mander, who lives in London.
Many Of those men are too ole
to be useful in a modern army
even as instructors. But some are
still young enough to be on active
duty. In order to make use OF
