Chairman Hayden, a fair

Congress Growing q Conscience
Senators Propose q Curb on Abuse of Immunity
And Reform in Congressional Investigations

1t is good to see Congress
growing a conscience. The av-
erage member of Congress, of
course, has as much conscience
as anybody else, but that can
not be said of Congress as a
body. Its membership protected
by constitutional immunity from
the haraSSment of citizens, Con-
gress never has accepted the
obligation to protect citizens
against the abuse of this i'm
munity. Irresponsible members
have been free to slander whom
they will so long as the slander
is uttered within the precincts
of Congress. Their victims have
had no adequate recourse.
Congress will never relinquiSh
It's immunity. It is not desirable
that it should. But it has long
been evident that Congress must
find means of protecting citizens
against abuses to which this i'm
munity lends itself. Efforts are
now being made in that direc-
ton.
Senator Hunt has suggested
legislation under which the
United States would be liable
for damages for defamatory re-
marks made by members of
Congress. Aside from the con-
stitutional question that would
raise, it might result in curbing
free expression of honest views,
and that is not to be desired.

He would not be accorded the
privilege of the floor for this
purpose, of course, or permitted
to shout his rebuttal from the

as follows:
Any member of Congress pro-

remarks concerning any citizen
would be required to make a
reasonable effort to notify the
citizen of the exact nature of the
remarks, where and when they
were to be made, and advise
the citizen how to submit his
answer. If such notification is
not given, the Secretary of the
Senate or the Clerk of the House
would mail a printed copy of
the remarks to the citizen with
an explanation of his rights in
the matter. The citizen then
could send in his answer to be
read on the floor by the secre-

Constantine Brown:

Great Britain'S obvious effort
to have Mohammed Mossadegh
replaced as Premier of Iran, in
order to get some one as head
of the government who will be
more tractable in reSuming oil
negotiations, is an ill-advised
maneuver from the standpoint
of her own interests and of
all the Western world which de-
pendS on Iranian oil.
There is no doubt that Pre-
mier Mossadegh has been q
difficult person to deal with.
There is no doubt that he has
made completely impossible de-
mandS and that he has done
more TO obstruct a settlement
with Britain on the oil question
than he has to help one.
Nevertheless, for Great Brit
ain to inject herself into Iranian
politics by making what
amounts to a demand for his
overthrow is a piece of power
politics from a bygone era. 1t
is hardly likely to work in
these days of extreme national
ism and extreme resentment
against the strong hand which
Britain-aS well as some other
countries-haS exercised over
the affairs of weaker powers.
The reaction to the British
maneuver can be only a rising
tide Of extremist feeling and the
encouragement. within the al
ready tense and difficult oil Sit
uation, of a factor which was
partly responsible for the oil
naturalization in the first place.
That is fanatical nationalism,
which is nothing more nor less
than ammunition for the Reds
in their campaign to deny the
West access to Middle Eastern
Oil resources.
The Anglo-Iranian Oil Co.

was accused, at least-and may
have been somewhat guilty
of interference in Trans in
ternal affairs. 1t was on
the argument that any vestige
of the AIOC remaining in Iran
would only permit further in
reference that the Iranian gov
ernment based its refusal to
consider Britain's most recent
proposal for the formation of
an operating company to work
the oil fields.
The British government ap-
parently fails to see what ac-
tually lies behind the difficult
position taken by DR.. Mossadegh.
1t is not the Premier himself.
He represents a very small
group in the Majlis, which if
it had to stand on its own
strength wouldn't last two min
uteS in the government.
But standing behind DR.. Mos
sadegh, and forcing him to as
sumo his hostile and adamant
position, is widespread fanati-
cal nationalism, whipped up by
the Communists, who use every
British move in the oil dispute
as ammunition for even greater
incitement of the Iranian people.
Thus. before Iran becomes
reasonable, before her govern
ment leaders can go into nego-
tiationS with every sincere pur-
pose of reaching an agreement,
this fanaticiSm must be quieted
and the power of the Reds de-
Stroyed. This carries with it the
obligation on Britain'S part to
refrain from any actions which
suggest interference in Trans
internal political affairs. If the
