Freedom for Thought We Hate

barred, then what about words?
The famous Tydings report used
the word fraud" with refer
ence to some of the charges
investigated. This was dis
puted. Candidates sometimes
use even harsher words in de-
scribing each others qualifica-
tions for Office. Shall a man
who wins a Senate seat be sub
ject to an investigation of words
used in a campaign before he
is admitted to the post to which
he is elected? Or, even if he
is admitted, is his seat to be
left open to question by an in
vestigating committee because
of the nature of his campaign?
Who is to be the judge of
standards-a partisan majority
in Congress?
The Senate has on occasion
refused to permit an elected
Senator to hold his seat when
too much money has been spent
in his behalf. The implication
was that the election resulted
from a purchase of votes. It
is to be assumed that, if there
were a similar contest today,
the outcome would hinge not
on> how much money was spent
but what it was spent for.
Words, of course, can be de-
ceptive and prejudicial. In a
country where freedom of speech
is supposed to be one of the
basic guarantees of the Consti-
tuition itself. laws or regulations
abridging such freedom cannot
be valid unless they touch on
actual fraud or libel or obscen-
ity. These limitations have been
accepted by the Supreme Court,
but at the same time the court
has allowed some very scurrilous
and even profane language to
be used in political warfare
without holding it to be subject
to legal redress. The definition
to which the Supreme Court ad-
heres is the one given by the
late Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes, who defined it as free
dom for the thought We hate"

ate's time and Senator McFar-
land for conniving with him.
The record of the exchange has
another sacred custom-been
rendered more articulate by the
conscientious Senate stenogra-
pliers but it was both heated
and confused.
There is a certain humor
about one of the keepers of the
sanctuary of endless talk, the
Senate. worrying about the Sen
ate's time but humor is not one
of Mister Republicans strong
points. Also, as Senator Nc
Farland finally got around to
pointing out, both sides have
yet to name their committees
without which business cannot
proceed. Republicans especi-
ally have their headaches with
only minority places and At
ambitious Senators, who are at
each others throats now.
The Senate finally recessed
until Friday but Senator Taft
darkly said he would have more
to say about the Truman-Mc-
Farland dilatoriness.
There was more to the ex-
change than stage play for the
crowded galleries though that
was no doubt a factor. Un-
deniably many spectators were
asking where's Taft?" and he
obliged them. But he can be
expected to oblige like clockwork
wherever opportunity offers
from here on in.

New Congress Playing for Keeps

a resounding 244-179 vote to
restore all their old powers,
through rules, of the high, the

legislation.
AS the Senate Democratic
caucus votes did, this only for

ton. The Fair Dealers are a

their way at the will of the
South. 1t is kind of three
party system in which the con-
servatives have the largest ag-
gregate vote. No doubt it will
often confuse Europe but the
Administration must cope with
it.
What tempted Senator Taft
to hex his muscles was that the
President postponed his estate
of the Union" message to next
week, a little beyond ordinary.
and his budget message a week
beyond that. The Majority
Leader therefore proposed a re-

with Mr.. Hoover, that we should
abandon Europe unless or until
it has effectively rearmed. To
do so would invite Europe to
scuttle into the camp of the
Soviet Union with ourselves
adding the last straw to
European defeatism. We believe
that there should be European
army and the whole of Europe
should be given an unequivocal
pledge that if any action of
force is taken against any part
of it, the United States will
fight for her own protection.
For we are convinced that the
notion that the Western Hemi-
sphere can be defended politi-
cally against a Soviet Europe is
q mirage. In Latin America,
European influences are stronger
than ours. A Sovietized Italy,
Spain, and Germany would rap
idly undermine Latin America.
But one policy does not auto
matically eliminate another. We
should be strong, and Europe
should be strong because only
in strength is there bargaining
power. In strength we should
try to neutralize Europe, using
reasonable diplomacy. And it
certainly is not diplomacy to
announce on the eve of a four
power conference that we know
that nothing will come of it, or
