John c. Henry:

Some major shuffling among
top American embassies will
take place this autumn, with
the customary mixture Of polit-
ical expediency and foreign
policy requirements already be-
ginning to simmer.
OF high priority is the task
OF staining a new and first-class
embassy In Tokyo. Signature
Of a peace treaty with Japan is
scheduled for the first week in
September and ratification of
the document is expected soon
after Congress returns in Janu-
ary. Between these two dates
there will be a reconstruction of
the present Office Of the Politi-
cal Adviser in Tokyo, with our
first postwar ambassador prob
ably moving in shortly after the
ratification formality.
John Foster Dulles, principal
architect Of the treaty, has first
call on the nomination for
ambassador but the New York
Republican has indicated that
he prefers to remain available
for special service rather than
settle into an assignment of
lengthy duration. Tokyo will be
a diplomatic show window for
American interests in the Pa
cif1c with highly important po-
litical and economic responsible
tiles settling upon the mission.
Only q man of stature and
understanding comparable to
that of Mr.. Dulles could be a
suitable choice. A selection
based primarily on American
domestic political concerns, not
unusual practice in filling am
bassadorial posts, could be most
damaging.
That Washington has appro-
pirate consciousness of the pc
culiar demands involved In
stating the new embassy Is m
dicated by the formation here
of a special Committee for Ad-
ministrative Planning for Ja-
pan, under State Department
Craftsmanship. For the next
several months this group will
be engaged in reviewing the
Tokyo requirements and search
ing out the personnel best fitted
to discharge them.
A promising start has been
made in the choice Of John
Moore Allison, a career foreign
service officer, as deputy chief

1t takes a certain amount of

dent has been able to send his

never disavowed by the oppos-
ing candidate: In fact, he is
accused of Haunting it himself.
He lost and what he did would
not be subject to Senate rules

Nor should the anti-semitic
and anti-Catholic literature
circulated in the mails during

be overlooked or the activities
OF national labor unions which

ployes also give their time to

needs no Senate investigation
just some prosecutions by the

The answer to much of this
type Of thing. to be sure, is
''pitiless publicity" Extreme
tactics usually boomerang and
make votes for the candidate

disappoint many observers to
read that this Senate subcom-
mittee seems to have lost faith
in the capacity Of the people
to deal with these matters them

"It is not q sufficient defense
to say let the people them

fact is that the people them

Is the Report on Butler Serious?
Analysis by Senators of Only One Side in Maryland Issue
Roses Question Of Doubt on Its Aim and Purpose
David Lawrence:

Is the Senate subcommittee
on elections in earnest about
cleaning up American political
campaigns or is its latest re-
port on the Maryland contest
just a piece of ephemeral pub
licity?
The report calls attention to
the fact that it is "the inherent
right under our system of gov
ernment of each State to choose
its representatives in Congress"
and that the Senate "in exer-
cising its constitutional right to
be the judge Of the qualifications
Of its members must guard
against usurping such right of
each State and must require
the strongest and most subStan-
tial evidence before unseating
a Senator and nullifying the ac-
ton of the electorate of a State"
Thereupon the subcommittee
says fatty that "the facts de-
veloped from the evidence be-
fore this committee are not suf-
f1cient in our judgment to rec
ommend the unseating Of Sena-
tor Butler"
If the committee had stopped
there, it's work would have been
in keeping with tradition. But
the committee issued a long
analysis of the campaign criti-
cizing the tactics and statements
of only one candidate. the Re-
publican, ignoring entirely the
famous ''whitewash" report
which was sponsored earlier by
the opposing Senator, a Demo-
crat. and formed the basis for
the bitter campaign itself.
To deal only with one set Of
unfair attacks and not with an
earlier set of unfair accusations
which furnished the provocation
is not to make an impartial
study. There is another COM
mittee Of the Senate under the

Fortunately for us, the emigra-

some extent. Recently, however,
there has been considerable dis

persons from Europe. If, and when
this happens, and especially if
there is a return to normal indus
