only a legation. At different
times he has been counsellor,
charge d'affaires and a delegate
to most of the recent inter-Amer-
lean conferences. Today he serves
both as Minister Plenipotentiary
in the Embassy and Ambassador
to the Organization Of American
States.
Trujillo Takes Defensive
In Port-au-Prince, Mora and
his committee heard the testimony
of the Haitians in support of their
accusations against the Trujillo
regime. In Trujillo City and later
in Cuba and Guatemala they
listened to all sides of the tangled
dispute. The Dominican dictator
and his henchmen, as they have
so often succeeded in doing be-
fore, prepared to wine, dine and
smother the group with hospitali-
ty and propaganda. But their
well-laid plans did not quite jell.
The committees investigation
was so searching and thorough,
and at the same time so nett
culously impartial, and the evil
dence against Trujillo so strong,
that the generalissimo himself
was forced to assume the defen-
sive. No doubt with the hope of
circumventing a public report that
might show him up as one of the
principal troublemakers in the
whole area, he began trying to
make up with his neighbors. He
sent a warm message of friend
ship to the President of Haiti,
pledging friendly cooperation and
good will He promised the COM
mittee and has already called
upon his subservient Congress to
rescind that law giving him
blanket authority to declare war
on any neighbor at his own dis
erection. TruJillo has further PROM
ised to expel from his country
any exiles of other countries who
use Dominican territory as a base
to plot against their own govern
ments.
In an effort to save the dicta-
tors face the Dominican Embassy
later called a news conference in
washington and tried to convey
the impression that Trujillo had
MADE all these gestures voluntarily
and gratuitously after the COM
mittee left the country. Mora
immediately, issued a statement
showing that the generalissimo
made all these promises directly
to the committee while it was still
in Trujillo City.
Officials and other interested
parties in Cuba who have at least
given comfort. If not aid. to anti
Irujillo subversives, as well as
those in Guatemala who have
openly encouraged the activities
OF the Caribbean Legion" have
also drawn in their horns as a
result Of the committees in
quiries. Abandoning its stand
omsh attitude. Cuba has sent a
charge d'affaires to Trujillo CITY
so as to have a representative on
the job to take up directly i'm
portant questions and disputes
between the two countries instead
OF merely lambasting the dictator
in the newspapers and over the
radio.
The committees report, now be-
fore the GAS Council, while not a
shocker. reveals that none of the
countries involved In the contro-
versy Is entirely blameless In
tanning the flames of political
dissension in the Caribbean. It
further recommends that greater
authority be given the Organiza-
ton Of American States to make
It's findings and decisions stick.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1950-03-05
By Edword TomIinson

There is new star on the Latin
American horizon. A new and
youthful statesman, certainly a
new champion of hemisphere
democracy and peace. has moved
to the center OF the stage. Diplo-
matte circles in Washington are
admiring the way in which di-
minutive Jose A. Mora of Uruguay,
the bantam nation of South
America, flew down to the Carib-
bean, bearded and went far to-
ward tanning the Sword-rattling
dictator, President Rafael Trujillo
Of the Dominican Republic.
Naturally in this spectacular
adventure young Mora was not
without the assistance ct other
able lieutenants, his associates on
the Inter-American Peace Com
mission of which he is the chair
man and spokesman. The other
members of this group are also
straight thinkers, and the ma
jority of them reliable supporters
of free government and demo-
cratic institutions.
Except for the scholarly DR.. Ed
uardo Zuleta- Angel Of Colombia,
whose country is at present under
a state of siege and ruled by a
single political party, they repre-
sent some of the best Of what
is left in this hemisphere in the
way Of duly elected governments.
They are Guillermo Gutierrez Of
Bolivia, Alfonso Moscoso of Ecua-
dor and Paul Daniels Of the
United States.
The five-man group, appointed
by the council of the Organization
of American States, was directed
to make an battle-ground inves-
tigation Of, and report on the facts
behind, all the rumors Of inva-
sion, threats of war and political
plotting that have emanated from
that region in the past year and
a half.
Trujillo Screams Plot
For months Dictator Trujillo,
and his powerful propaganda ma
chine located in this country. had
been screaming that "Commu-
-nists" and other enemies in Guate-
mala, Cuba and elsewhere were
plotting his downfall. AS a conse-
quence his country was com
PEELED" to buy war planes, guns
and even munitions plant in
Europe to defend" the father
land. Finally in a loudly heralded
speech he ordered his stooge Con-
gress to vote him discretionary
powers to declare war on any ma
ton that permitted invasion
plots on its soil, or gave hospi-
tally to subversive groups that
planned invasion Of Dominican
territory.
On the other hand, Dominican
exiles and nti-Trujillo elements
throughout the Americas agitated
and unanswered against Trujillo.
Interested parties in several coun-
tries, and undoubtedly more than
one government ofI1cial encour-
aged, and even contributed to the
support Of, small group Of exiles
and soldiers Of fortune known as
the Caribbean Legion" Leftist
labor leaders and their friends
among officials in Guatemala,
while maintaining a virtual reign
Of terror against their own critics
at home, bombarded the air and
printed millions Of words Of prop
uganda about the tyranny Of
dictatorships" In the Dominican
Republic. In Nicaragua and else
where.
All the while, according to Hal
tian authorities. Trujillo himself
was engaged in his own subversive

However, Tito, like all realistic
Communists. respects power. He
was convinced that in spite Of the
obvious fumbling in Washington
and despite reports that America
was nowhere near ready to meet
q Soviet onslaught, there was
far more power in America
ready to be used on short notice
than appeared On the surface.
Since last December he has
feared that he might have mis-
calculated. The report from
Washington last September that
Russia had the atom bomb began

locked in new struggle.
Two courses have been advo-
Gated to settle the coal problem
once and for all One looks to
Government ownership and oper-
ation-the naturalization of the
coal mines, as England has ma
tionalized her mines. Senator
Murray of Montana, a Democratic
member Of the Senate Committee
on Labor and Public Welfare. has
been quoted as pointing to ma
tionalization as the way out.
Some Proposals
The second course is to retain
the mines and operation in pri-
vate hands and at the same time
make such production stoppages
impossible. Supporters Of the Sec
ond course propose amending the
Taft-Hartley labor law so as to
prohibit industry-wide bargaining
They would also amend the anti
trust laws to cover labor unions
and their members.
Senator Taft OF Ohio, Repub-
lican leader on domestic problems
in the upper house, believes that
an amendment prohibiting indus
try-wide bargaining would be eff
fective. He does not, however,
believe that making the unions
subject to the antitrust laws
would fill the bill. Senator Rob-
ertson, Democrat. of Virginia is
author of bill to bring the unions
under the antitrust laws.
Representative Howard w.
Smith, Democrat. of Virginia con-
tends that both prohibition
against industry-wide bargaining
and the imposition of the anti
trust laws in labor causes should
be used.
A middle -the-road proposal
is to give the President authority,
in cases of emergency. to seize
the coal mines and have the Gov
eminent operate them temporar-
lily, until some agreement with
the miners may be worked out.
Some Action Imperative
Had the administration been
willing, this authority would have
been placed on the statute books
at the first session OF the 8lst
Congress. It is contained in the
Taft-Hartley revision" bill which
passed the Senate and then
pigeon-holed in the House Educa-
ton and Labor Committee, be-
cause it was entirely unpalatable
to President Truman, who hac
called for outright repeal Of the
Taft-Hartley law. Under the pro-
visions of the Senate bill, how
ever. after the seizure OF the Goa.
mines-or other kinds OF plants
the terms of employment would
remain the same as before seizure
until an agreement between the
employees and management had
been worked out. It was so writ
ten because, when the Govern
ment, working under the terms
of the old Smith-Connally Act,
seized properties, like the coal
mines. labor got pretty much what

Six Months to Report

The commission must report
within six months Of It's appoint
ment to the President and to Con-
gress and will cease to exist 80
days after the submission Of its
report. A sum of $250.000 is au-
thorized. by the resolution, for the
use of the commission.
Whether the Taft-Hartley law,
as it stands, is capable of dealing
with controversies in the coal in
dustry and others unionized on q
national scale. such as that which
has grown out of the coal sCrike.
is still a moot question. In the
face OF repeated demands, Presi-
dent Truman declined to invoke
The Injunction provisions Of that
act over a long period. And when
the Government moved, 1t was
after the battle lines had become
firmly fixed. The contention is
made that Mr.. Truman waited
too long. Certainly the admins.
tration has been hostile to the
law which the President has re-
peatedly denounced.
Big government and big labor
can play hob with industry and
free enterprise-particularly when
big labor is a dominating force
in big government.
