could not express their senti-

amazed that the man who had

mainly on account of our wide
spread commitments.
The Tokyo government knows
that it must proceed with
speedy rearmament program
lest it become the target of the
Kremlin's imperialist expansion.
Despite efforts to prevent in
filtration by Communist agents,
many Kremlin stooges have
reached the japanese intellec-
tuals and penetrated the labor
movement. Although many re-
turned prisoners of war were
indoctrinated in the Commu-
mist tenets during long years
of captivity, they changed rap
idly when they realized the diff
ference between actual free
dom and what they had been
told in the stockades of Siberia.

fore to examine the language
used then. 1t follows:
1.-The Democratic Party is re-
sponsible for the great civil
rights gains made in recent
years in eliminating unfair and
illegal discrimination based on
race, creed or color.
1.-The Democratic Party COM
mits itself to continuing its ef-
forts to eradicate all racial, re-
ligious and economic discrimina-
ton.
I'VE again state our belief
that racial and religious minor
tiles must have the right to live,
the right to work, the right to
vote, the full and equal protec-
ton of the laws, on a basis Of
equality with all citizens as
guaranteed by the Constitution.
I'VE Highly commend Presi-
dent Harry S. Truman for his
courageous stand on the issue
of civil rights. We call upon the
Congress to support our Presi-
dent in guaranteeing these basic
and fundamental rights: ID.
The right of full and equal
political participation: co the
right to equal opportunity of

security of person; "a the right

rival in the States primary,
Senator Kefauver, and on SEN
ator Douglas, Democrat, of Il
linois, who is speaking here for
Senator Kefauver this week.
This last is deftly done with
no resemblance to the old meat
ak approach of the wavers of the
bloody shirt. The key words are
Hubert Humphrey (the Min
nesota Senator who wrote the
1948 civil rights plank, un-
American. communistic, social
istic, free enterprise and Tru-
manism. Apparently. a great
deal of spade work has been &C
complished, or so it is hoped,
to equate Senator Humphrey
with the menace of social equal
ity, FPEC with communism,
Trumanism with the all-power-
full state.
Senator Russell does not men,
ton the Negro question at all,
nor does Senator Smathers. But
the Georgian says. for example,
with meaningful pauses for the
audience to recognize the SYM
bols for their social attitudes:
II would rather trust your
Senators from Florida, George
Smathers and Spessard Holland,
to guide me in what is American
and constitutional than those
who are supporting my oppo-
nent-as Senators Humphrey

Japan has taken its place in
the ranks of free and sovereign

herself seated with the so-called
"peace-loving" countries in the
United Nations because of the
Soviet veto. But she will be in
good company. Switzerland,

West to permit aggressor coun-
tries like Red China and other
satellites to enter the U. N.
The Tokyo government and
the overwhelming number of
japanese people realize that
their task henceforth will be
more difficult than it was under
the benevolent occupation Of
American and Allied forces.
The japanese know that their
present emergence as free and
cohesive nation is due mainly to
the wisdom of the adminiStra-
tion of Gen. Macarthur as Su.
preme Allied Commander. They
recognize freely that this Amer
ican general-their bitterest foe
during the war-made possible
the political, economic and
social reconstruction of their
country. 1t also was his pres
ence as the head of the Allied
forces in Japan which decided
the Russian "allies" not to send
occupation troops to that coun-
try. Had Macarthur not in
sisted on his full prerogatives
as Allied commander to desig-
nate how many Reds should
come to Japan and where they
would be stationed there is no
question that the country now
would be divided like Germany.

any more taxes than the arbi-
trary limit which the OPS i'm
poses. Here is the language of
the new tax-writing agency
which ignores both Congress and
the Treasury:
Congress, in enacting tax
legislation, expresses it's judg-
ment as to the manner in which
the tax burden shall be distrib-
uted. If the contention of the
steel companies were accepted,
it would mean that OPS was. in
effect, altering this congress
sional decision by permitting
certain industries or certain
groups to shift their just share
of the tax burden to those who
must buy from them"
Congress made no such "de-
cision." Congress did not say
that earnings should be re-
stricted beyond certain point.
Congress merely fixed the rates
that should apply as earnings
went up and up. The only pur-
pose Congress had in applying
heavy tax rates was to siphon
off purchasing power in the
case Of individuals and to raise
revenue by getting a larger and
larger share of the income re-
ceived by companies from the
sale Of products used in the
defense program.
The OPS theory is wholly un-
supported by any legislative
standard and in some respects is
a much greater abuse of con-
stitutional power than the action
of the President in seizing the
steel mills. If it were adopted, it
would mean that a govern
mental agency not only could
represS and restrict revenue
Congress expected to raise but
it could regulate profits by dip
ping its hand into the pocket
book of any business or industry
and advising another govern
mental agency to pay 1t out to
the workers or any other group

votes.

leaflet to justify its attack on
the steel companies by arguing
that its own industry earnings

gress. Nowhere In the debates
or legislative history is there
the slightest foundation for the
claim made by the OPS that it
can take the excess profits tax
law and, without authority of
Congress, apply it to an alto
gether different objective-the
paying out of private sums from
company treasures without
warrant of law.
Every price increase that has
been forbidden by the OPS in
disregard of the Constitution
can be attacked in the courts,
and sums recovered through the
United States Court of Claims if
the evidence shows that the
OPS acted without legal sane
ton.
Similarly. every wage increase
or refusal thereof could be
equally invalid. For the chair
man of the Wage Sterilization
Board conceded before the Sem
ate Banking and Currency
Committee only last week that
the board was acting without
statutory authority"
Here then is a wage board
set up by executive order with
out any legislative standard
prescribed by Congress and yet
debating to an entire industry
what it's expenditures for wages
shall be. Indeed, the stipula-
ton in the law that there be a
labor management conference
to set up standards has not
been followed by the President,
and it is doubtful whether any
such standards would be con-
Stitutional, since the Supreme
Court in the NRA case held in
valid such a broad delegation
of power to any private in
tereStS.
The Congress, of course, has
the power to regulate wages
and prices by writing specific
laws on these points, but no
power to do so has been dele
gated to the executive agencies
within the meaning of the Con-
stitution as set forth in previous
decisions of the Supreme Court
of the United States.

Senator Russell has an
nounced that if he is nominated
for President by the Democratic
convention and the convention
adopts a platform recommend
ing FEPC legislation, he will
fatty declare that he is not
bound by the recommendation.
Presumably he will go ahead

the same, for he points out that
AL Smith did just that in 1928.
the Democratic convention hav-
ing adopted a prohibition plank
with which he disagreed.
The party seemed to want to
give Smith the nomination that
year regardless. Not many OF
the leaders thought a Democrat
could win and some OF them
thought it was good time to
override the unwritten rule
against nominating a Catholic.
Smith was badly beaten by Her.
bert Hoover, but his refusal to
accept the prohibition plank was
not generally regarded as play
ing an important part in his
defeat.
The situation is a little differ
ent this year. The Democrats
think they can win. given a
good candidate. Senator Rus
sell, in fact, thinks he at least
can win or, as he puts it, that
he is the only Democrat who
can defeat Gen. Eisenhower. If
the convention agrees with him
he is giving 1t warning that it
must take him on his own terms.

nounced that if he is nominated
he will accept and support the

clares for a compulsory FEPC.

So the line between the two
Southerners has been drawn
very sharply in advance of the
only presidential primary to be
held in the South, that in Flor

over civil rights has been drawn
sharply for the coming con-
Vention.

David Lawrence:

Private property in America
is today in greater danger of
being confiscated by Govern
ment than at any time in the
entire history of the United
States. A governmental admin
istration has not merely seized
an industry and begun to tell
its management what it shall
do with its income, but the Of
flee of Price Sterilization, with
out warrant of law. has an
nounced that in effect it will
hereafter regulate taxation Of
profits. Up to now Congress
alone has fixed tax rates and
applied those rates to unlimited
earnings. The Treasury never
has put a ceiling on earnings.
Just II years ago this month
the Supreme Court of the United
States rejected the National
Industrial Recovery Act as in
valid because no Legislative
standards" had been provided
by Congress for the President
to follow in issuing his execu-
tive orders. The court by a
unanimous vote of all nine JUS
tices-liberals and conservatives
said there had been no consti-
tutional delegation of power by
Congress to the executive agen-
cieS.
Today many of the opera
tions of the wage and price sta
bilization agencies are plainly
unconstitutional, for private
property is being confiscated
every day at the caprice and
whim of the officers appointed
by the President.
What is worse, the Office of
Price Sterilization has begun to
distribute leaflets at public ex-
pense which absolutely contra
dict the facts of the law and the
Constitution.
Thus, statements in the latest
leaf1et issued by the Office of
Price Sterilization usurp the
power to tax by simply assert
ing the right to determine
whether or not an industry
should pay certain tax rates.

right to enforce the tax laws
