Not to Be Tolerated

In telling Communist Poland to order its
embassy here to put an immediate end to the
issuance Of all publications except routine press
releases, the State Department has taken much
needed action against Consciousness and effron-
terry Of the worst kind. It Is action. moreover,
that should be noted very carefully by every
other Red satellite with publicity outlets In our
country, and the Kremlin should Of course
pay particular attention to it
The Polish embassy, it need hardly be added,
is getting exactly what it has asked for in re-
Gently circulating material scurrilousy attacking
our Congress for investigating charges accusing
the Soviet Union of responsibility for the mon
strous wartime massacre of thousands OF
Poland's officers and soldiers in Katyn Forest.
In proper channels, and in decent language, the
Warsaw regime, along with any other regime
eager to take the Kremlin's part, Is entitled to
dispute or deny such charges. But it has no
right whatever to violate our hospitality by
issuing in our very midst publications vilely
assailing our institutions and daring to depict
our Nation as Nation whose ruling circles" are
to be looked upon with loathing' for melting
peoples to war and committing atrocities" In
Korea.
This sort Of thing Is familiar part Of the
ceaseless barrage Of poisonous propaganda di-
rected against us by the Kremlin and its StoogeS.
We are not in position to stop it from being
spewed out behind the Iron Curtain. But the
State Department. in cracking down on the
Polish Embassy. has made clear that such
abusive and Outrageous material cannot be
circulated by foreigners within the United
States. Presumably, II there are further offenses
along this line, the offenders viii be booted
back home, unceremoniously, as they ought
to be. host after ALL has right to get rid
Of malicious guests whose conduct becomes
insunerable.

CoUopsing Controls

The resignation Of Defense Mobilizer Charles
Z. Wilson raises a question that goes beyond
the equities of the formula proposed for settling
the steel dispute.
Mr.. Wilson'S position seems to come down
to this: He does not believe that the Wage
Sterilization Boards proposal-wage and benefit
increases that win aggregate 26 cents an hour
over an 18-month periods justified. In his
judgment it constitutes a serious threat to
the sterilization program. Nevertheless in the
interest Of avoiding steel strike, he had urged
management to negotiate with the union on the
WsB basis and had indicated that the Gov
eminent would grant some price rise to cover
the higher costs
Mr.. Wilson thought he was doing this with
President Truman's approval. MIR. Truman dis
agrees. He says he does not regard the WSB
recommendations as unreasonable, and suggests
that the steel companies can absorb the whole
cost without price increase. In any event, he
is unwilling to give assurance of any price in
crease unless and until the need for it Is DEM
OnStrated.
This, in Mr.. wilson's view, amounted to a
reputation of the assurances he had given the
steel operators, and forced his resignation. Mr..
Truman accepted the resignation, and named
his labor advisor, John r. Steelman, to succeed
Mr.. Wilson on a temporary" basis.
At this juncture It is difficult to say whether
Mr.. Truman pulled the rug from under Mr.. VIII
son. or whether their difference is merely
product of misunderstanding. It can hardly be
doubted however, that the Presidents attitude
In this instance adds up to surrender to pres
sure from Philip Murray and his steel union.
Nor IS there any reason to suppose that Mr..
Truman will resist comparable demands that
win be forthcoming from other unions. and there
Is even less reason to suppose that Mr. Steelman
will resist them.
The net result is to bring into question the
wisdom Of continuing the present sterilization
program after its expiration date this summer.
A control program that is applied with political
Considerations In mind can be worse than no
program, and in an election year the political
considerations will be ever-present. Congress
should take long look at this aspect of the
matter before voting to renew the program.

Gen. Gruenther isn't the sort who

was known as hard man to work Tor

A native Of Platte Center. Neb.. Gen.
Gruenther is the son Of weekly news
paper editor. Once when his father was
away, high school boy Gruenther wrote
an editorial taking Congress to task Tor

purposes that he considered too high
Ian opinion in direct conflict with his
fathers.

The Generals excellence as star
officer has often prevented him from
having a command Of his own. He
hasn't had command he could call his
own since he was lieutenant with an
artillery battery In the late twenties.
Thus, for two decades he has been o
virtual prisoner of his own ability. But
II he doesn't get his first major COM

Trouble in Tunis

Agreement by the Bey Of Tunis to name
q new Premier considered friendly to France
may avert threatened political crisis in Paris
Whether it serves to resolve situation in North
Africa that has been troublesome not only to
France but indirectly to the Western powers
is question that will be answered only by
time and further events.
With increasing vigor in recent months, a
Tunisian nationalist movement expressed
through the dominant New Constitutionalist
Party has attempted to work out with the
French, who hold protectorate over the North
African country formula for eventual inde-
pendence. Immediate objective Of the move
ment has been full internal autonomy although
there has been willingness that Tunisia should
remain for the time being under French guild
ance in matters Of defense and foreign policy.
The Paris government has acknowledged the
principle of self-government, but has been in
sistent that 1t come into being by gradual stages
and that the disproportionate political rights
Of the French minority in Tunisia be preserved.
Actually the succession Of shaky govern
ments which has been In power in Paris has
accorded relatively low priority to the TuniSian
issue-being more preoccupied with Frances in
ternal economic problems, the developing inter-
national relationships within Europe and the
troubles in Indo- China
It was because of these Illustrations en-
countered in dealing with Paris that a 15-nation
bloc of Asian-African states, having the common
bond Of Islam with Tunisia, prepared months
ago to bring the issue before the United Nations
Security Council
The current crisis stems from the drastic and
unexpected action Of the French government
in arresting the Tunisian Premier, Mohammed
Chenik, and three members Of his cabinet,
step taken when the Bey of Tunis declined to
dismiss them as q condition for new round
Of negotiations with Paris. simultaneously, the
French Resident General declared the country
under state Of siege and proclaimed martial
law.
The early reverberations were more extreme
IN Paris than in Tunisia. Two major political
parties, including that Of Foreign Minister
Schuman, indicated their disapproval Of the
action and threatened trouble In the Parliament
for the already troubled government of Premier
Antoine Pinay Before this threat reached q
point of action, however, the Bey retreated from
his position and named Salah-Eddine Baccouche,
former Premier and lro-French landowner, to
head new cabinet.
Unfortunately, the whole problem has Sc
rious Implications for more than France and
Tunisia. The independence movement In
Tunisia is another Of the many emergences
of nationalism which have marked postwar
political history particularly In Africa and Asia.
The Tunisian Arabs are relatively advanced IN
their political afd social capacities. Their de-
sire for Independence cannot permanently or
indefinitely BE- controlled by military action. a
solution Of reason would have salutary effect
upon comparable problems elsewhere;Sa half
