Reciprocal Nostiness

If one bad turn deserves another, If tit-for-
tat or eye-for- -eye diplomacy is sound, then the
State Department has certainly done the right
thing in clampng down strict travel limitation
on members of the Romanian Legation. Under
the new order their trip taking in any direction,
north, east south or west, must be confined to
an area within IS miles of the boundaries OF our
fair city. If they want to go farther than that
up to New York say, or to Virginia Beach-they
will first have to fill out, in five separate copies,
an elaborate formal request and after that they
will be obliged to wait for an indefinite period
of time until our chief of protocol 1--WE have none
at the moment) makes up his mind whether or
not to grant them special permission.
Since our own diplomats are subject to the
same kind of treatment in Bucharest all this
adds up to quid -pro-quo justice. Nevertheless
although it conceivably may have Salutary
effect there is some reason to wonder whether
we ought to stoop to it, When country like ours
copies the tactics of a pipsqueak Soviet puppet
we tend-if only slightly-to make ourselves over
into the image of the very thing we despise. In
a way, the whole business seems not merely
family ridiculous and less than grown-up but
also bit demeaning. The tatterdemalion Ro-
manian Reds hardly deserve the f1attery of our
retaliation. If they can't behave decently, why
bother trying to deal with them? Why not just
o complete and clean break?

THE SUPREME COURT gets itself
l. into neat knots ON the question Of
freedom of speech.
The Constitution says Congress shall
make no law interfering with freedom Of
speech.
In 1919. backed by the other eight
justices of the Supreme Court, the late
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote an
historic opinion on this highly contro-
versial subject
"The question in every case" he said,
"is whether the words used are used un-
der such circumstances and are of such
a nature as to create a clear and present
danger that they will bring about the
substantive evils that Congress has a
right to prevent"
Since 1919 this "clear and present
danger" test has been a guide for other
Supreme Court justices to follow, in
deciding whether some law which comes
before them is in keeping with the con-
stitutional guarantee of freedom of
speech.
No one will argue that a man should
be allowed to shout "Fire!" in a crowded
theater to- cause a panic. That's a
clear-cut case of when man shouldn't
be allowed free speech. It's an abuse
of freedom and harmful to others.
But other cases which have come be-
fore the court since 1919 are not so
clear cut.
The Communist Party, on the sur
face at least, is a political party. In
this country, any one is free to join any
political party he chooses. This is an
exercise of his guaranteed right of free
dom of speech.
Since the Communist Party has never
been outlawed by Congress, any one is
free to join it. But in 1947, Congress
passed law. the Taft-Hartly Labor
Act, which said that if the officers of
labor union are Communists, the union
can't get the benefits and protection of
the law. This has been a bitter point
with labor leaders ever since.
The argument against that part of

Is q Mans Health Worth 1t?

The other day. when he finished making an
address to the Connecticut State Federation OF
Women's Clubs, DR.. Timothy Brewer-a Hartford
heart specialist-had the satisfaction of hearing
thunderous applause from his all-female au-
dience He would be well-advised, however,
not to let that little fact go to his head. He
would be well-advised to remember that this
country is inhabited by men, too, and that
great numbers of them, after they have had
time to null over his words, probably will feel
that they have been devilishly Ill served by him.
For what DR.. Brewer has done is to call upon
women everywhere to climb on their high horses
and stage a militant campaign to force their
husbands into becoming scullery hands and
kitchen slaveys. He has summed up his justifi-
cation for this in the following words: "If men,
especially the business and professional type,
would get up from the table and wash dishes
instead of settling comfortably in an easy chair
to go promptly to sleep, they would gain less
weight, delay the onset of hardening of the
arteries of their vulnerable hearts, and live
much longer"
This is pretty clever. He has pitched the
whole idea to a high note Of health. He has

However, no consideration was given

its doors to colored youth. The reason
for this isn't clear, because eolored and

Petrol for Britons

For the first time since September, 1899,
Britons with automobiles may now have all the
gasoline they can afford to buy. The long period
of stringent rationing, which severely restricted
pleasure driving has come to a sudden and
complete end-a development made possible by
deal in which Standard Oil of New Jersey and
the California-Texas company have agreed to
sell the fuel to the United Kingdom for pounds
instead of dollars and to use those pounds to
buy from the U. K. tankers machinery and other
equipment.
The agreement should be politically helpful
to Prime Minister Attlee's Labor government for
two main reasons: % Because it is likely to
speed up settlement of Anglo American differ
enceS over the British decision, based on an
avowed desire to conserve dollars, to cut down
on oil imports from United States sources; and
(2) because it will remove another drab element
of austerity and thus restore little more bright
ness to life in the u K-a fact that could serve
to win votes for the Laborites.
Despite these two factors in its favor, how
ever, the Attlee government may discover that
its gasoline decision will prove to be even more
helpful to the Conservatives. AT any rate, they
certainly can make some political capital out of
1t. They can recall, for example, that they advo
Gated derationing at the time Of the general
election last February, that they attacked the
Laborites for being much too slow with it, and
that the latter accused them of irresponSibly
urging the impossible Mr.. Attlee and his col
leagues are likely to find that fact bit en-
barrassing now.
But far more mportant-potentially far more
embarrassing-is the Conservative intention to
pounce upon the derationing move as an oppor-
tunfty to force vote-of-conf1dence test on the
Labor governments recent very heavy increases
in taxes on gasoline and commercial vehicles
Winston Churchill and his party apparently hope
to make great deal of the argument that the
motoring public, with rationing now ended, will
buy so much extra petrol" that revenues will
mount proportionately and that the taxes ought
therefore to be cut sharply.
The showdown on this is expected to come
after Parliament reassembles on June 49, Con-
cevably, unless the Laborites are present in full
strength, Conservative-Lib coalition may
succeed in upsetting the Attlee government and
forcing a new general election. Thus, even
though gasoline derationing is happy event
for Britons its political effects could prove to
be anything but happy for the derationers them
selves In short, it involves not merely a revival
of pleasure driving but also the possibility Of
change In governments.

"Wha. wha-wha, wha!"

That's Caroline in action.
About five years old, with a voice like
a soprano foghorn, she screams from

Caroline
Just what the "Wha" represents In
her extensive vocabulary, we have never
been able to find out.
The succession of "whas" must be an
intensive form Of her own peculiar ami
nation.
1t has no known derivation, except
that sometimes in comic strips there is
slightly similar expletive called
"wham." This usually accompanies the
picture Of guy getting hit over the
head.
AS far as one can tell at distance,
Caroline's thoughts are of q peaceful
character.
1t is pretty hard for small female
to be anything else, of course. except at
times, and Caroline's scheme Of things
is timeless.
