Secretary of State-designate
John Foster Dulles is busy se-
lecting his subordinates. He is
said to have decided to follow
the political tradition of ap-
pointing an outsider" as his
Undersecretary of State. but
to make, for the time being
at least. only very few changes
in the upper echelons Of his de-
partment, that is to say. among
the present assistant secretaries
in charge of the various geo.
graphical areas.
The appointment of MIR.
Dulles received almost unani-
nous applause from members
of Congress sof both parties.
The secretary -designate's popu-
larity among the Republican
legislators is of recent date.
His handling of the British gov
ernment on the question of the
Japanese peace treaty gained
him the respect and friendship
even of Senators who had de-
scribed him in the past as
confused ideologist."
When, after the election. Gen.
Eisenhower discussed with a
number of legislators four sug-
gested candidates for the num-
ber one job in the cabinet he
was strongly urged to give that
position to Mr.. Dulles.
During the last few days,
however, there have been some
misgivings in Congress about
Mr.. Dulles willingness to place
new faces" around him.
Nobody doubts that Mr..
Dulles will keep his pledge to
do whatever cleaning up of the
State Department may be nee
essary. But the rumors that he
intends to keep the present as
slstant secretaries and heads Of
geographical desks are causing
some uneasiness in congress
sional quarters.
Nobody accuses or suspects
these officers of being disloyal
or incompetent. But most of
them have been intimately as
sociated for the last 10 years
with policies which the Ameri-
can electorate repudiated at the
polls when it sent Gen. Eisen-
hover to the White House and
made it possible for Mr.. Dulles
to become Americas top diplo-
mat.

Lobor's Shift on Toft-Hort|ey Act

When the labor leaders chose
to use the word repeal" as a
slogan, many candidates for

Thus Gov. Stevenson earlier this
year said he favored amend

Senator Russell Of Georgia,
an aspirant for the Democratic
presidential nomination, got
caught last July in the verbal

anxiety among Senators of his
own party in the South who
knew the implications OF the
battle over the two words

The fight no longer is over
procedure. but substance. Labor
union leaders would have been
glad to wipe out Taft-Hartley
altogether. because they really
wanted to get rid of the pro-
visions that prohibit the CLOSED

have to mobilize enough votes
in Congress to eliminate that

Somewhere Our Idea Got Lost
The Freedom Revolt We Started in 77o Fored in China Too,
But Emphasis on Business Couded the Human Goal

In this season the herald

peace on earth! Good will to
men!"

young men under arms on land
and sea-in actual combat in
the frozen wilderness of Korea.
on the alert in Europe and
other parts of the globe, and in
training camps in this country.
Military service and its inter-
ruption of normal careers has
become the accepted lot with
our present generation of young
men, as it has, likewise, with
young men of other nations all
over the world.
Those of us among peoples OF
the earth who cherish freedom
and peace are in the 18th year
of a continuing war that began
in 1889 when one tyranny OF
mind, soul and body struck.
Now, warily and uneasily, we
watch the maneuvers of another
tyranny of mind. soul and body.
We must continue to stand
guard patiently, and work for
peace. however we can. mean
while.
We in the United States have
a responsibility above all others.
not only because of the leader
ship of the free peoples to which
we have been called, but because
of our own origins. To under
stand the latter, we only have
to inquire into the nature OF
what is going on in the world
today. We find that it is world
wide revolution in which subject
people are striving to throw of
ancient bonds long imposed by
others and outside powers and
to control their own deStinies as
nations in their own rights.
We started that back in 1776.
The spark we kindled then has
now, at long last. become a rag
ing fire. We started the first
revolt against what has come
in these latter dayS to be called
"colonialism." That gives us a
mission to satisfy it, to help
direct it, to keep it out of the
grasp of tyranny. It is, indeed

a grave responsibility. and an
honorable one.
It has become. to a large ex-
tent. our burden.
Maybe it is well boldly to
plunge directly into one vast
area where we started well, then
missed our opportunity-even at
the expense of heresy and a
summons from the McCarran
committee. That Is China. Ours
was the original inspiration for
the first Chinese revolution,
back in 1911 and 1912, the
Chinese Republic of Sun Yat-
sen. modelled along lines of ours.
That was great news for us in
those days, as some Of you may
remember.
Somewhere our idea got lost.
Rather than because of some
reasons you may hear today, it
was perhaps because of too
much emphasis on business and
too little on the human side.
Communism eventually saddled
the great upheaval of forces
there, and China has become. at
least for the time being, hand
maiden of Russia.
We cannot afford to lose an
other such battle in the basic
conflict between our idea and
the Russian idea. The battle
field is spreading rapidly. A
whole new terrain of conflict
was illuminated graphically dur
ing the recent United Nations
sessions in New York, as If by
giant star-shell-an area
stretching across the Middle
East and Northern Africa, with
currently explosive sectors in
Iran, Tunisia and Morocco.
Significantly, it is the old colo
nial empires of Britain and
France, but chiefly the latter
now, where revolt is most in
tense.
Among the empires, Holland
and Great Britain sensed the
new day first. We saw Indonesia
turned loose by the Dutch and
given an independent status
under United Nations auspices
and at our initiative. and India

policy makers and probably
played only an insignificant
part in the decisions made
there. All the same. they all
not only helped through their
positions in the department to

also had to defend them before

It is difficult for any human

any length of time and not be-

that it was the best that could

whether they were in violation

Yugos|avia S Seizure
OF 26 Italian Boats
Reightens Tension
By the Assoeicfed Press

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Dec.
24.-The Yugoslav coast guard
has seized 26 Italian fishing YES
sells on charges of operating IL
legally in Yugoslav territorial wa
ters, the government organ Borba
reported. The boats and their
crews, totaling 215 men, were
brought into the Adriatic port Of
Pula Monday night.
Qta!ian reports in Venice said
the boats radioed that they were
taken while in international wa
ters outside the Yugoslav terri
torial zone. These reports said
that "a boats we're seized.)
Borba reported the roundup was
the largest number of Italian
fishing boats seized by Yugoslavia
since the end of World War II.
An Italian-Yugoslav agreement
which permitted Italians to fish
the Eastern Adriatic expired last
May /.
The seizure was only one of sew
eral new incidents which tended
to worsen the already strained re-
lations between the two nations.
Yugoslavia told Italy formally
last night that she would not ac-
Icept an Italian suggestion that
the Hague International Court
settle the future of disputed
Trieste. That strategic Adriatic
seaport was declared a free ter
ritory under the Italian peace
treaty on 1948 and since has been
the subject of bitter dispute be-
tween Yugoslavia and Italy. Both
claim it.

quoted responsible Italian govern
ment sources as commenting that

casion to deteriorate her relations
with Italy"

Dovid Lowrence:

When the headlines tell the
country that labor leaders are
saying they now are for amend
ment" instead of repeal" of the
Taft-Hartley Act. the incident
serves to accentuate how easily
the public can be misled by mere
words that have a phony mean
ing.
Anybody who knows anything
at all about procedures in
writing legislation is aware
that an amendment" can &C
tually repeal a whole section of
a previous law, and that, if
repeal" is literally meant, then
the entire law is wiped from the
statute books, and there is no
legislation on that particular
subject in force until a substi-
tute law is passed.
Labor leaders for the last
several years have shouted so
loudly for repeal" Of the Taft
Hartley Act that they never
; cared to admit that something
would have to take its place
simultaneously or a gap would
occur during which the country
would not have a collective
bargaining law or any other
regulation of the relations be-
tween labor unions and manage
ment.
The strategy always was to
get the Taft-Hartley Act re
pealed" completely as a matter
of tactics so that, with no law
on the books. the opponents Of
what the labor unions might
propose would be under a pam
icky pressure to vote quickly for
almost anything in order to
get a labor management law
adopted.
Yet, in a broad sense, the
problem always has been how
to rewrite the Taft-Hartley Act
so that the moment the rewrit-
ing was done-that is, the
amendments were adopted
the country would go instantly
from one labor management law
to another, thus avoiding legal
technicalitieS and litigation that
might arise from an interval in
which no labor law was in effect.

of these men do not have the
confidence of members of Con-
gress.
Our foreign policies have suf-
fered a good deal from the
serious rift between the legis-
lative and executive branches
of the Government. Many mem
bers of the Senate Foreign Re.
lations and Appropria tionS
Committees look askance at a
number of these officials with
whom they had direct dealings
during the Democratic admins
tration. And these legislators
fear that their continuation in
the posts might hurt what they
expect to be a long honeymoon
with the department.
There is no question of inter-
fering with the career of these
relatively young officials. What
many legislators would want
Mr.. Dulles to do is to bring in q
new team of trained and expert
enced career officers. while the
present holders of key posts in
Washington would be sent to
responsible diplomatic posts
abroad.
