try and is composed of many
eminent men in the field of law.
The real purpose is to find some
indirect way of removing Dean
Acheson from public Office.
The attempt, of course, was
slated for defeat because a sub
stantial number of Republicans
in the House of Representatives
did not vote with their COL
leagues in the party conference
held on the subject. Such an
item should never have come
before a party conference, any,
way. No political party can in
the long run justify sponsor
ship of that sort Of amendment.
There are plenty of members
of the House-both Republicans
and Democrats-who feel that
Dean Acheson should resign.
This correspondent has called
attention before to the political
factors which cause some Dem
ocratic members to feel that
MIR. Acheson's continuance in
office is liability to them. But
the answer lies in a change of
policies and in the system of
administering the State De-
partment, and this is something
that the President is as much
responsible for as is Mr.. Ache
son.
The Secretary is a conscien-
tiouS man. He may have been de-
ceived by subordinates or misled
by their reports, but nobody can
justly question his loyalty to the
United States. His judgment
may be severely criticized and
his mistaken policies have been
responsible for American fail
ures in the Far East. But the
legal remedy for this is for the
House, by majority vote, to pro-
pose a removal of the President
by impeachment. Then, if there
is no tWo-thirds vote for it in
the Senate-which there is not
the step fails and the question
of a successor can be decided
inside the Democratic Party at
the national convention and
subsequently at the polls.

1t is part of Senator Taft's
strength that he is vigorous, in

He sometimes has a certain hui

A Douglas sample: Seeking
economy in the appropriations
for agriculture. he suggested
that Soil-conServation subsidies
were not needed nor wanted for
the rich farming acres of Illi-
nois; he said he was willing such
payments should be made to the
less fortunate South. His pride
touched, Senator Russell of
Georgia opposed such language
in the legislation. pointing out
that the Illinois farmers need
not request soil-conservation
subsidies unless they chose to
do so.
Turning the Bible on the Bible
belt, Senator Douglas quickly
countered: "Ah, but when our
good Lord admonished us to pray
to be delivered from evil, he also
told US to pray to be delivered
from temptation. Do not tempt
even our splendid Illinois farm
ers."
Senator Douglas found 1t easy
to keep smiling. The bar asso-

The White House Won't Like 1t
Magazine Poll of Washington Correspondents to Name
Douglas of Illinois as the Best Senator Of the 96

The biggest single alteration
of the past two years in Sen
ator Taft's conduct of his af-
fairs is that he has stepped for
ward as a foreign policy spokes-
man. Criticism of him in that
role has been directed not just
at his opinions but at their wide
variety and inconsistency, also
at his tolerance of Senator Nc
Carthy's tactics against the
State Department.
Nobody can accuse Senator
Taft of cowardice. Disregarding
the lessons of experience en-
bodied in the ancient wish:
Would that mine enemy would
write a book" Senator Taft has
written a book and it is on
foreign policy. 1t will be pub
lished soon.
A large sale can safely be pre-
dicted among politicians though
they are not as a rule a read
ing race.
Press approval Of Senator
Douglas will hardly have atomic
impact: the public and poll
ticians have long since given
evidence of sharing it.
Perhaps the factor that most
influences reporters is that Paul
Douglas is a national-interest
Senator who with unusual con-
sistency practices what he
breaches even when it may hurt.
That he can take care of him
self on the floor with sunny
humor as we'll as knowledge
doesn't hurt-the press galleries

David LoWrence:

No more serious mistake in
strategy could be made by the
Republican Party in the House
of Representatives than to sup
port an amendment to the pend
ing appropriation bill seeking to
cut off the salary of the Secre-
tary of State, Dean AcheSon.
1t is a mistake because, while
the Secretary formulated the
foreign policy of the United
States, President Truman has
taken full responsibility for
every phase of it. If, therefore,
it is because of disagreement
on foreign policy that it now is
sought to force removal of Mr..
Acheson, then the courageous
and direct thing for the Repub-
licanS to do is to propose a
resolution impeaching the Pres
ident.
The Republicans have fire.
quently contended that Mr.. Tru-
man violated the Constitution
when he failed to seek ratiflca-
ton from both houses of Con-
gress and carried on a prolonged
war in Korea, although the Con-
stitution states specifically that
only the Congress can declare
war.
Under a parliamentary system
of government such as prevails
in Canada and Britain, it would
be the head of the government
as we'll as the Secretary of State
who would be voted out of Office.
Simply changing a cabinet Off
Ger would not be enough if the
issues were fundamental.
The opposition to Secretary
Acheson is. in fact, opposition
to President Truman. That is
one Of the reasons why the Pres
ident has never felt justified in
listening to the demands which
have come from some of his own
party to remove Secretary Ache
son or to permit him to resign.
For, after all, if Mr.. AcheSon
has erred, so has the President.
The two men together have
worked out every important step
in our world policies.

Constantine Brown:
Warnings Cannot Be Questioned
United States Would Be Foolish to Let Down Its Guard
On Basis of Vague Peace Words of Reds

Nobody can question the
warnings of Secretary of State
Acheson and other top admin
istrative spokesman that this
country would be criminally
foolish to let down its guard
and allow the Muscovite propa-
gandists to lull us into a feeling
of security by some vague and
empty peace words. The
Kremlin conspirators are far
more dangerous when they smile
than when they froWn.
Professional military men,
while agreeing that the U.S.S.R.
and its satellites in Europe and
the Far East may have 9 mil
lion men under arms" point
out that armies must be judged
qualitatively rather than guam
titatively. Otherwise, the West
may make the same mistake it
made in regard to Japan the
day after Pearl Harbor, when
the might Of the Japanese was
SO exaggerated on the basis of
strength on paper"
Today, more than at that
time, overemphasis on Red
capabilities could undermine
the morale of the NATO ma
tons whose hesitancy about
fighting Red aggression in the
recent past has been one of the
main handicaps to their mill
tary preparedness.
There is not the slightest
doubt that we are behind the
U. S. S. r. in air power. Al
though Congress has appropri-
ated sufficient sums to build a
70-group Air Force in 1949, the
administrations optimism pre-
vented the spending of that
appropriation. The Nations air
arm was cut down by executive
order to less than 48 groups.
In spite of stepped-up construc-
ton orders, we are still we'll
behind Russia, although it is
now stated that we need at
least $50 groups to establish our
superiority over the Axis.

9 million Russian and satellite

Doris FIeeson:

President Truman won't like it
but a forthcoming magazine poll
of Washington correspondents
will name Senator Douglas of
Illinois as the best Senator
among the Sc.
The White House may find
some consolation in the fact
that the same group selected
Senator Mccarthy as Mr.. Doug
las opposite number. The SEN
ator from Wisconsin noSed out
Senator McCarran of Nevada
for the title of worst Senator.
Two years ago Senator Taft
won the laurels about to rest on
the handsome head of Senator
Douglas. In fact, Ohio was IT'LL
lated to discover that the press
corps was, in a manner of
speaking equally attentive to
both its Senators. 1t rated Sen
ator Taft best, Senator Bricker
worst.
The Ohio election returns fol-
lowed the press poll; Senator
Taft was re-elected with his first
whopping majority. But the cor
respondents have changed their
minds in a provocative fashion.
They now rate him fourth
best-but also fourth worst.
Why? The magazine may
shed light on the reasons. A
safe guess is that many of the
press date their change of heart
from tire loss of Senator Van
denberg, architect of the BIZ
partisan foreign policy, one of
the few men to whose Judgment
Senator Taft was willing to
yield.

tality, which has existed for
centuries. 1t may be that more
Ivans can read and write than
in the past. But that is about
all. There have been thousands
of instances called to the at
tentions of our officers, showing
how beWildered the Russian SOL
der was when he crossed the
borders of Russia and came into
contact with the West.
The fighting quality of the
main Moscow satellite, China, is
even inferior to that of the in
habitants of the Russian Empire.
This has been amply demon
Strated in Korea, where Ameri-
can and Allied troops, far in
ferior in numbers, were able to
hold back the wild onslaught Of
solid Chinese hordes. The fact
that a soldier does not care
about death no longer is an adj
vantage. The main thing is to
know when it is important for
him to lay down his life for the
cause for which he is fighting.
The reported l million men
from the European satellites are
soldiers of a different caliber.
particularly those from Poland
and Bulgaria who were rated in
the past among the best troops
in the Balkans and Eastern En-
rope. But the loyalty to the
regime imposed on them by
Moscow is highly doubtful.
Until year ago the Russian
general staff, which has a far
more realistic problem than the
Kremlin, had earmarked these
troops as mere auxiliaries. 1t
was only in the past year
that the Politburo decided to
lntegrate them into the forces
to be used in Europe. They are
now given full combat training.
There are serious doubts, how
ever, whether in the event Of
a showdown these intensely
nationaliStic men, who have
struggled for centuries for the
independence of their country,
would give their best in a war
against the West.

Lowell MeHett:

Tomorrow is Friday. So to-
morrow afternoon the House of
Representatives will discuss
briefly and then vote on the
measure commonly called the
tidelands oil bill. This is a
misnomer. Tideland is the mar
row strip of shore which is
submerged at high tide and I'M
covered at low tide. The DILL
relates to what is more properly
called offshore lands, always
under water. Under an act Of
the Texas Legislature it could
include the ocean or gulf bed
81 miles out to sea; under an
act of the Louisiana Legislature,
100 miles out to sea.
The bill before the House is
intended to settle a dispute
over the ownership of this land
by vesting title in the States ad-
jacent. The effect would be
to overrule a decision of the
u. S. Supreme Court that the
land properly belongs TO the
United States, not to the vari-
Gus States affected. The issue
has become a hot one because
of the recently discovered value
of, the land. Off California,
Texas and Louisiana it has been
found to contain fabulous de-
posits of oil. Government geol-
ogists estimate the value of the
oil at $40 billion dollars. The
three States want the right to
lease and collect royalties from
this underwater colorado for
the benefit of their citizens.
The Federal Government asserts
the right of all American citi-
zens to a share in the revenue
to be obtained from the oil.
In the name of States rights
a good deal Of hocus-pocus has
marked the effort to reverse the
Supreme Courts decision. The
present bill purports to protect
all the States against seizure by
the Government of any sub
merged land, even in the inland
States. But everybody in Con-
gress understands that no State
faces any threat Of that kind.

Army transports docking at the
Port of Embarkation have recently
been discharging Japanese war
brides and their CT husbands in
large numbers. Many wind up at
the hotel on Fourth Ave. near Main
St.. prior to showing off for distant
points in the United States.
Many of the brides are seen in
and around the international Cen
tre', just looking around and show
ing off. Judging from the comments
We have heard about these girls.
they are not creating very favor
able impression, mainly because of
their arrogance.
This naughty attitude toward
Issei and Nisei can be said to be ty-
pical of Japanese girls who marry
Caucasian CTS or keep company
with them.
We saw 1t in Japan, and it GER
tainly did no credit to the girls. It's
no wonder they are acting the same
way over here.
The Japanese girls running a.
round with American CTS in Tokyo
wouldn't even look at other Japa-
nese.
And they turn their noses up at
Nisei.
In crowded areas, in company
with their CT boy friends, they
would go pushing around slow-mov-
ing Japanese, and display the worst
manners imaginable.
For some silly reason, some of the
Japanese girls seemed to acquire
queer notions about their impor-
lance when they started taking up
with CTS.
They acted as though they had
risen a step higher in the social
ladder if they had soldier cornpa-
MON, and that it was their privi-
lege thereafter to look down on
their less fortunate" brothers and
sisters.
It seems strange that Japanese
girls should harbor such exalted
ideas.
The Japanese, it must be remem-
bered, have always regarded them
selves as superior race of people
from long ways back.
They held some pretty fancy con-
victions about the purity and great

ness of the Japanese racial strain,
much in the same way that Hitler's
gang glorified the Aryan stock.
The Japanese must have slipped
an awful lot. If we are to judge by
the conduct and attitude of the cur
rent crop of war brides.
They have placed On high plane
the Caucasians, whom they former
ly referred TO with insult and snide
remarks. and have turned their
backs on their own kind.
Yes. it's quite reversal of form
and principle. and we suppose we
must just write it off by saying,
well, that's war for you"
AS time passes on. these snooty
war brides who have come to live
in America win realize they are no
better Than the rest Of us. And
that's going to hurt.
They'll find out. among other
things. that being married to Cau-
casian CTS will in no way insure
them against any of the discrimina-
ton and prejudices that are our
lot.
1t may take little time for it to
sink in, but they will eventually re-
alize that a matrimonial link-up
with Caucasian does not consti-
tute a passport to happiness.
Instead, they VIII come to the
painful awakening that their mar
riage, conceived as it was in many
cases in haste and under abnormal
circumstances, is constructed on
shaky grounds. and that as result
they must struggle and suffer and
use good common sense If they want
to keep it from fallin gapart.
