Doris Fleeson:
New FEPC to Be Created
Record of Agency in Last War Being Studied
With Eve to the Lessons 1t Can Teach

boot was applied after hardly
more than weeks of service.
An immediate White House
problem is where to get the
money for an FEPC. The Bud
get Bureau is hunting for avail
able funds now. At first blush
it appears that an amendment
thoughtfully inserted some time
back by Senator Russell OF
Georgia has hedged in the Presi-
dents emergency fund so 1t
can't be used. However. certain
other sums designed for inter-
agency commissions may be
tapped.
The full employment Of war
time, of course, gives minorities
unusual opportunities to better
their condition. These may be
even better than they were dur
ing the last year when the first
group to move ITO the labor
force were the women. Many
stayed but many returned home
and the great baby boom of post
war years has kept them there.
With fewer women in reserve
for wartime employment. the
minorities must be used to a
greater extent than ever. Nat
urally some kind of FEPC be-
comes extremely important to
them, and they are pressing for
1t. apparently to good effect.

Thomas l.. Stokes:

The Federal Power Commis-
sion is having a time deciding
whether to proceed with an in
vestigation of natural gas rates
in q case that affects consum-
ers of four States and poses a
rather important test of the
regulatory agency's attitude that
affects natural gas consumers
generally.
The significance of this case
goes beyond the company dl-
rectly involved, Phillips Petro-
leum Co., of Bartlesvillc. Okl-
homa, one of the nations big
gest oil and gas interests. If
Phillips is able to stop this in
vestigation for the duration OF
the emergency" as it is trying
to do, that would seem to set
precedent. The duration" may
be a long time. Other circum-
stances, too, including the pres
sure brought to bear, raise a
pertinent question Of public in
terest as to what extent the FPC
intends to exercise authority
delegated to it by Congress In
the 1888 Natural Gas Act.
The FPC ordered this inves-
tigation over two years ago, on
November 2, 1948. on complaint
of the State of Wisconsin and
the city of Detroit that the Phil
lips Company was charging ex-
cessive prices for natural gas to
the Michigan Wisconsin Pipe
Line Co. which serves the States
of Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin and
Michigan. FPC staff members
have completed their field in
vestSations and everything Is
ready for the customary public
hearings.
On December 10. by vote of
3 to /, the commission deferred
the investigation until it's fur
ther order and set another
hearing of the issue for January
8. It found in its December 19
postponement order that good
cause" had been shown by
Phillips. Tie company claimed
1t would be too busy. with de-
fense business of the Govern
ment to prepare for public
hearings. This argument was set
forth first on September II on
the basis of "its obligation to

satellites, etc. And such settle

would be worth nothing more
than the intention which lay
behind them. And If there Is
the intent to reach settlements
in specific areas, this can be
done without a Big -Four meet
ing and a formal document Of
settlement.
The touchstone of Soviet sin
cerity, American officials con-
tend. is not its word, written on
a piece of paper and formally
signed. It is Russia's day-to-day
actions, which give a practical
demonstration of the Kremlin's
desire to cooperate or not to
cooperate with the Western
democracies.
Thus, Russia could demon
strate her desire for a settlement
with the West on Germany by
demilitarizing the East zone

Constantine Brown:
Soviet |nsincerity Shown
Chance for U S. Conference With Russia
In Near Future Is Infinitesino

Despite the American Govern
ment's sincere desire for con-
ference with Russia at which a
real settlement of differences
could be reached, the chances
of such a conference at any
time in the near future are al
most infinitesimal.
The stumbling block is the
Soviet Unions apparent lack OF
sincerity in it's proposal last
November that the Big Four
powers hold a conference of
Foreign Ministers. The cor
respondence since then gives
no indication that the Kremlin
has adopted a policy of any
greater cooperation than it has
followed since World War II.
American Government officials
feel that Russia, which pro-
posed that the conference be
limited to the subjects Of Ger
man Standardization and uni
fication, is using the whole dis
cussion Of such a meeting for
propaganda purposes In an ef-
fort to convince its own people
that the West is turning a cold
shoulder to Moscow's peace"
overtures.
They also feel that even II a
preliminary conference.-the pre-
pare an agenda for a full-scale
conference-were held. 1t prob
ably would bog down just as It's
countless predecessors since the
war have begged down. that is
on Russian obstinacy in de-
manding that the conference
be strictly limited in scope and
be prevented from arriving at
real settlements on scores OF
issues-major and minor-which
separate the East from the West
AS a matter Of fact, no deci-
sion has been. made by the
United States on exactly what
issues it would be desirable
from the Vests point Of view
to take up at a Big Four meet
ing. Nor has the order Of i'm
portance or the approach Of a
possible general settlement on
these issues been settled.
While Germany. admittedly,
is the chief point Of difference
between the two worlds. 1t is
only one point, and a settlement
could hardly be reached on
Germany which did not involve
many other areas OF conflict.
Actually, it would be almost
impossible to get to the root
cause of all our trouble in Big
Four conference. for it would be
necessary for us to get a COM
mitment from the Russians to
forsake their whole campaign
against the West-propaganda
as we'll as political and military
and such a commitment would
imply an admission on Rus
sia's part that she had been
engaged in such campaign
against the West.
The only result that could
possibly come out OF a Big -Four
meeting would be settlements on
specific points of conflict

The Congress of the United

declaring Red China an aggres-

Despite it's limitations pres
idential FEPC can be largely

It also represents a public opin-

the United States would feel
free to disassociate itself and

Clearly the future of the
U. N. as an effective inStru-
ment of international policy
hangs in the balance. America
may have to develop foreign
policies now without regard to
the collective action of the AS
sembly and may consider a
move to abandon the plan
whereby a majority of the ma

Thus the U. N. might have to
become merely a debating forum
and not a parliament OF ma

The United States, as the
sponsor of the recent move to
utilize the Assembly for the
PRONUNCIATION of measures to
resist aggression, can with con-

This would mean that reciprocal

they pledge themselves to fur

ated many people here who
hitherto have been ready to ex-
cuse the dilatoriness Of the
the Attlee government. Such
apologies are no longer heard.
For the Attlee government has
repeatedly shown itself much
more concerned about its in
vestments in Hong Kong than
in the continued support Of the
United States.
In the final analysis. it is pre-
dicted that the British will re-
luctantly go along with Ameri-
can policy. But the cost already
has been considerable and
Anglo American relations have
suffered an injury which only
a Churchill may some day be
able to heal.
Out of all the resolutions voted
by Congress, what stands out is
the Senate resolution, also
adopted unanimously, which
would bar Red China from ad-

ought to accentuate to Euro
pean countries the lengths to
which American legislators

and the Arab countries. Plainly
America is beginning to discover
that she has fewer friends
