Rule by Reasonable Doubt
New Concept Of Justice, Inflicted on Our Country
By Loyalty Review Board Cries for Correction

United States Senator from Con-
necticut. On November 4, 1929,
the Senate voted, 81 to %. to
censure Senator Bingham for
an action contrary to good
morals and senatorial ethics"
1t absolved him. however, of
corrupt motives" and permit
ted him to keep his Govern
ment job.
The Senator's offense was
that he had listed as his clerk a
highly paid official of the Con-
necticut Manufacturers Associ-
alton and taken him into a
secret session of the Senate FL
nance Committee at which a
tariff bill was being written.
The Senator's embarrassed de-
Tense was his passionate loyalty
not to the Government, but
to his theory Of the tariff. APP
parently if he had any doubt
concerning his own conduct the
doubt appeared less than rea-
sonable to him.
None of this is intended to
disparage Mr.. Bingham. The
only point being made, or, at
tempted, is that most humans
are fallible and that the power
now resting in Mr.. Bingham's
hands is a power too terrible to
entrust to fallible humans.
The American Civil Liberties
Union has renewed it's drive for
the appointment of a national
commission, either Government
or non-Government, to study
the problem of maintaining ma
tional security without forfeit
ing the rights of citizens. It
probably will have to be non

congressional quarters after the
Hanley report was made public
that neither the United States
nor our Allies who have token
forces in Korea protested this
Red .barbarism. 1t was per-
petrated by. the Chinese Reds
whom so many of our friends
in the United Nations still in
sist should be accepted into that
organization. Senator Edwin
johnson. Democrat, Of Colorado,
cabled Secretary General Trygve
Lie of the u. N. asking the
reason for this silence. No
answer from Mr.. Lie was made
public. But others who inquired
into the matter were told by
State Department officials that
it would be inexpedient to bring
the matter officially before the
United Nations because it would
run into foul weather. It would
be difficult. it was said to the
amazement Of those who dis
cussed this question with our
officials, to get a vote of censure
under existing conditions. More
over. what good, from the prac-
teal point of view, would this
do?, The victims of the Red
atrocities could not be brought
back to life and Moscow would
become even more incensed and
impossible to deal with than it
is at present.
We are now looking forward
to a possible cease-fire agree
ment. This in itself will be only
a temporary relief. unless it is
followed by a satisfactory peace
treaty. Otherwise it will give the
enemy more time to increase its
air and ground forces to resume
an offensive. The question which
arises at present, preSuming that
an armistice can be concluded,
is with whom are we going to
negotiate a peace treaty? We
do not recognize the North

Washington unquestionably has
enhanced the Importance of the
Eisenhower candidacy. For here
is a man who has not been
actively identified with politi-
cal parties and groups and yet
is widely known to the people
and runs ahead of all other
names in the public-opinion
polls Of both parties.
A few weeks ago the fact that
Gen. Eisenhower had not been
political" in the sense of. as
ISOLATION with political groups
or organizations was considered
a handicap. Today it suddenly
has become a big advantage.
For when the people finally
learn all the sordid details of
how Washington functions po-
litically, when they discover
if there is really a searching
investigation-that most of the
Republican and Democratic
national committeeman are the
usual centers of political in
f1uence and. as such, are much
sought after in the dispensing
OF governmental favorS both in
the executive and the legisla-
tive branches, there may be so
intense a revulSion of feeling
against all politicians that only
a non-political personality can
win public endorsement at the
polls.
Some of the symptoms that
may be expected to multiply
have appeared already in the
movement to get the Democratic
nomination for Senator Kefau-
yer of Tennessee, who won
Nationwide attention in the
Senate investigations of crime
and gambling. The Tennessee
Senator wouldn't even be men
toned today were it not for a
growing recognition of the fact
that the independent voters,
who will hold the balance of
power In the next election, are
the ones to be satisfied as to
the integrity Of the nominees.
The scandals have by no
means run their course. In

Korean government and neither
do any Of the participants in
the police action" The Peiping
regime is recognized by Great
Britain but it claims that it is
not participating in the war.
Only volunteers" armed with
the latest modern weapons and
well above the level of the known
Chinese military establishment
are engaged in the Korean
campaign. Consequently, we are
not supposed to discuss peace
terms with the Peiping puppets.
And in any event how can
our Government rely on any
treaty signed by the murderers
Of prisoners of war? The treaty
with Japan was possible because
Japan had been utterly defeated
and occupied by our forces. The
criminals had been punished
and the present government is
clean. This is not the situation
in regard to the Chinese and
North Korean Communists, who
claim victory.

Lowell MeHett:

And now we've got govern
ment by reasonable doubt.
Where that will lead us there is
no telling. Perhaps down the
road to government by panic.
We appeared to be headed in
that direction just a little while
back, but reversed our course
when we discovered certain flaws
in our peerless leader, Senator
Joe. We decided to stick to the
principle that no Government
employe should be fired in
manner to ruin his reputation
and deprive him of a fair chance
to earn a living unless there
were reasonable grounds for be-
lieving him to be disloyal to the
Government. But we didn't stick
very long. Some of our panicky
patriots, convinced we were not
firing people fast enough,
evolved a new pattern of justice.
We'd just fire anybody about
whom we had any reasonable
doubt" And we'd be the sole
judges of what was reasonable.
We, in this case, is the Loyal
ty Review Board. Head of the
board and author of this new
concept of justice new to
America, at least-is Hiram
Bingham, distinguished and
well-meaning citizen. Under
his leadership the board has
decided that a State Depart
ment employee who had been
cleared of any suspicion of dis
loyalty or corrupt motives after
seven or eight Investigations by
the department is still subject
to the boards reasonable doubt.
He must go and the board will
rereview five or six hundred
other cases that had been closed
under the earlier concept.
So now the fate OF all Gov
eminent employees rests with a
few men like Hiram Bingham;
rests with their sense of fair
ness and their capacity for
doubt. Let's consider then the
case of Mr.. Bingham, after,
first defining loyalty. Loyalty
to the Government means put
ting the interest of the Govern
ment above any other interest.

In exercise of these rights, Japan
desires, as a provisional arrange
ment for its defense, that the
United States of America should
maintain armed forces of its own
in and about Japan so as to deter
armed attack on Japan.
The United States of America,
in the interest of peace and secur-
ity is presently willing to maintain
certain of its armed forces in and
about Japan, in the expectation,
however, that Japan will itself in
creaSingly assume responsibility
for its own defense against direct
and indirect aggression, always
avoiding any armament which
could be an offensive threat or
serve other than to promote peace
and security in accordance with
the purposes and principles of

Accordingly, the two countries
have agreed as follows:

Truman, Coming Back
After ; Days Of Rest,
Pleased al Jap Pact
By Joseph A. Fox
Star Sioff Correspondent

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. g.
President Truman was winding up
his home town interlude tonight
and preparing to get back to
Washington tomorrow, after three
quiet days in Jackson County.
The President was represented
as pleased with the San Fran
cisco conference on the Japanese
peace treaty.
Two student nurses were granted
permission to see the President
at his home. They were Miss
Carolyn Jones and Miss Mildred
Ishikawa, from the independence
sanitarium and Hospital School of
Nursing. They presented Mr.. Tru-
man with copy of their yearbook,
Late in the morning Mr.. Tru-
man went across the street where
he visited for 35 minutes with his
two cousins. the Misses Ethel and
Nellie holland.
Gets Back for Lunch.
Returning home for lunch, he
said he had no further plans for
the day other than go out in the
country to visit IAN old friend I
knew in the Army"
He plans to take off from
Municipal Airport at pm. (EDT)
and arrive in Washington about 7.
AS customary. the President has
kept up with his paper work"
here, but the layover from San
Francisco has given him an op-
portunity to rest. Most of his time
has been spent in Independence in
the old family home where the
Presidential flag goes up to her
aid his arrival.
The hometown people also be-
come more aware of the high fence
around the Presidents home when
he is in residence, and it is very
evident that they resent it. The
Secret Service a long time ago
thought it was a good idea to-
throw one of the factory-type
fences around the rolling lawn
where the President at times
rambleS. But the natives haven't
gotten used to that break in their
landscape.
InSpectS Flood Damage.
Mr.. Truman goes back to the
Capital with some new impressions
of the flood damage in this area
that may cause him to prod Con-
gress again to speed relief meas
ures.
Along with other things it
looked as though the President
might be taking to the road next
month to talk things over with
the people.
California Democrats, already
riding the third term bandwagon,
think that they have the Presi-
dents promise to speak at $100-
per-plate dinner in Los Angeles,

Text of Security Treaty

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. g.
The tert of a security treaty
signed today by the United
States and Japan:
BY the Associated Press
Japan has signed treaty OF
peace with the Allied powers. On
the coming into force of that
treaty, Japan will not have the
effective means to exercise it's in
herent right of self-defenSe be-
cause it has been disarmed.
There is danger to Japan in this
situation because irresponsible
militarism has not yet been driven
from the world. Therefore, Japan
desires security treaty with the
United States of America to come
into force simultaneously with the
treaty of peace between Japan and
the United States of America.
The treaty of peace recognizes
that Japan as a sovereign nation
has the right to enter into COL
lective security arrangements, and
further, the Charter of the United
Nations recognizes that all nations
possess an inherent right of in
Idividual and collective self defense
