his present visit to these shores. He
wants the United States to recognize
his island nation as an equal partner
in the struggle to establish peace
If not equal in power and wealth.
at least equal in wisdom and worth.
One practical field in which the
demand for equality seems certain
to be pressed is that of atomic energy.
Mr.. Churchill is reported to feel that
his government should be fully in
formed Of all atomic Developments in
this country, and should be in on any
decision to use the A-bomb.
Bombs and Boses
In his Guildhall speech last Noyem-
ber. Mr.. Churchill tied this question
to our use of British bomber bases.
His point is not that we should not
use. the bases; at Fulton, Mo-, in l946.
he said implicitly that Britain and
America should make Joint use of
all naval and air force bases in the
possession of either country all over
the world" His point is merely that.
providing these bases for our strategic
bomb groups, Britain is in an ex-
tremely exposed position, and is
therefore entitled to a full voice in
the use to which the bases and the
bombers may be put.
There are other specific conces-
siorls which Mr.. Churchill probably
wants to win here. One is the alloca-
tion by this country to Britain of
about one million tons of steel. which
would make up key deficiency in
the armament -burdened British
economy. Another is an agreement on
our part to resume the purchase of
British-controlled tin. We stopped
buying this tin for our stockpiles be-
cause we thought the price was too

on Congressmen's activities to the
extent of forbidding congressional
interference in tax cases pending
before the Internal Revenue bureau.
The Monroney plan also would
make mandatory any intervention
by legislators in Reconstruction
Finance Corp. loan cases, and would
cut off the pensions of officials
convicted of breach of public trust.
Kesouvers Aims
Senator Kefauver, whose anti
crime activities built him up to
the point that he is being men,
toned for place on the Demo-
cratic ticket, wants a Federal crime
commission established. He also
would like to see the creation of a
commission on ethics, which would
formulate code of standards for
Government a~employes.
Hand in hand with clean Govern
ment goes clean politics, though
to bring up the subject in an
election year is like talking about
rope in a household where father
is about to be hanged. Senator
Monroney is behind a clean-elec-
tions bill that has been developed
by committee which investigated
the Butler -Tydings Maryland elec-
tion among others.
This elections and privileges
subcommittee of the Senate Rules
Committee also has before it
resolution sponsored by Senator
Benton of Connecticut for the
custer of Wisconsins Republican
Senator Mccarthy. The New Eng
lander says the Midwesterner's
activities against former Senator
Tydings in Maryland constituted
unseemly senatorial conduct. Sem
ator Mccarthy, on the other hand,
says the Benton resolution is part
of a campaign to "get Mccarthy"
whose scalp has been publicly
called for by President Truman as
a top, prize of war this fall. I'm
fortunately, however, the Demo-
Gratis can't give Senator Mccarthy
a thorough working over without
the subject of leftiSt influence in

Domestic Program

Senator TAFT being a strong con-
tender for the Republican nomi-
nation, a blow struck at him for
his labor views would be Tin the
Democrats way of thinking) a blow
for victory. Besides, repeal of the
Taft-Hartley act is high on the
Truman domestic agenda.
1t was popular some time ago for
anti-Taft forces to refer to the
Taft-Hartley measure as the slave
labor act" This tag lost some of
its effectiveness in the 1850 cam
paign in Ohio, when labor went
all-out to defeat Senator Taft but
failed, even in some strong labor
baliwicks. Opponents of Taft
Hartley, fighting on the line that
the act has disenfranchised the
unions, have been unsuccessful so
far, and appear to have scant
chance to overturn the law at this
session.
The Republican, coalition men
toned earlier is certain to reject
the civil rights portions of Mr..
Truman's program. The President
is committed to urge its passage,
but too strenuous Efforts in behalf
of civil rights might again, in 1852,

against further tax increases.
Most observers give a new and
sleeper tax bill not the echo of a
prayer at this session. Yet every
body who is anybody in Congress
is. against infiation-a safe stand,
like opposing sin-even those peo-
pie who would like to swing the

The friends of the Interests
and there are alleged to be some on
Capitol Hill-want no controls on
prices, but feel that curbs on wages
would prevent imitation. The
friends of the Working Man-and
there are many who style them
selves thus-feel that while wage
controls are unfair, price controls
are the only answer to the infla-
tion question. As economics, such
one-Sided views don't make a great
deal of sense; in the pragmatic
game of election-year politics,
however, they are not as strange
as they might seem.
Regardless of what happens,
there will be heavy Government
expenditures authorized in the
coming session. Too, there are
very likely to be substantial appro-
priations for foreign aid, despite
bitter opposition to what foes of
internationalism call handouts"
Some of this adm what form,
it is impossible to say-probably
will go to Britain. Prime Minister
Churchill, who will address Con-
greSs in a few days, is represented
as not wanting any more Yankee
dollars, at least for the present.
But, since he obviously didn't make
a stormy midwinter Atlantic cross
ing for his health, he wants some
thing, and if he gets it, it will be
up to Congress to give it to him.

japanese Treoty
High among the items on the
I'd Session agenda will be another
international matter: The Japan
ese peace treaty. This pact, signed
at San Francisco last September
must be ratified by the Senate in
order to become operative. Eventual
passage of the treaty may be taken
for granted, but debate on tin
the unlimited forum that is the
Upper House-is certain to be long
and strong. Much that is irrele-
want to the approval or disap-
proval of the treaty will be dragged
in by the heels; for instance, de-
. bate on the Japanese pact will
open a fine avenue of approach to
the whole question of our Far East
ern policies and will give admins
tration foes golden opportunity
to utter such political cuss- words
as Amerasia, baltimore and John
Stewart Service.
There will be some objection, too,
to the idea of leaving Japan free to
make treaties with other lands
such as a trade pact with Red
China-but it is unlikely that such
arguments will be particularly eff
fective when time for vote rolls
around.

high. If bargain could be struck
along this line, it would take lot of
red ink out of Britain's international
trading accounts.
Many Tolkine Points
In addition to these material aims,
there is wide variety of political
and strategic subjects which can be
expected to come in for their full
share of attention during the talk.
There is the question of how to
simplify the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization and make it more ef-
fective. British Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden, who will be at Mr..
Churchill's right hand through the
talks, is said to feel strongly that
some arrangement must be worked
out to cut down the number of cooks
involved in brewing NATOs vital
broth.
There are the Iranian and Egyp-
tian crises to discuss. There is the
German question. There is the Far
East, and the tough problem of the
part Britain should play In attempts
to establish supernatural West
European army. No one here believes
the British will change their minds
on the last two problems, on which
they pointedly disagree with our of
ficials. There may. however, be some
worthwhile Qualification Of thinking
in these vexing areas Of contention.
But above all, the question is
whether Mr.. Churchill viii succeed
in convincing Americans, from Pres
ident Truman on down. that Britain
is on our side and that we must be
equally on hers. II he can do that,
his mission viii have been success.
II not, the loss will be ours as well
as his.

First, the Budget

If nothing else is done between
now and July, the appropriations
for fiscal 1858 will have to be taken
care Of. The budget is not yet a
matter of public knowledge, but it
takes no pipeline to the White
House to predict that it will be
whopper. The forecast is for re-
quests totaling over $50 billion, the
lions share in money for direct
defense purposes.
Congress dragged along for
months last year before passing
supply bills. But last year, Con-
gress wasn't going anywhere in
midsummer, and special tide-over
funds could be-and were-made
available to take care of agencies
still awaiting final action on ap-
preparations as fiscal new year
July 1-rolled around.
There appears to be plan to
have committees plunge right into
hearings on appropriations as soon
as the budget is submitted. Such
an early start will give money bills
a good chance for early passage,
but it won't prevent long and loud
wrangling in committee and on the
floor.
Traditionally, in an election year
(and especially in a presidential
one) the congressional attitude is
supposed to be one oriented toward
repeating all taxes and passing all
appropriations. Obviously, this
procedure would please every one
for the moment, but If carried to
such an illogical extreme would
wreck the country in no time.
Practically, what happens is that
legislators refuse to boost tax rates,
but at the same time fight bitterly
against trimming those appropria-
tions that will benefit their indi-
vidual areas.
This attitude toward taxes may
very well catch the taxpayer him
self-for whose benefit a hold-the-
line policy is supposed to be de-
signed-in a bind. Economists
have been harping for years on the
fact that in an inflationary situa-
ton, it is necessary for Govern
'ment to pay as it goes, lest by
deficit-spending it add fuel to the
inflationary fire. If Government
expenditures appreciably exceed
income, the result is likely to be
higher cost of living and attendant
woes for the common man.

the Hill already are on record

The serious business of Winston
Churchill's Washington visit - his
first as a peacetime Premier-is
scheduled to get under way tomor-
row. This flamboyant personif1ca-
tion of John Bull will have spent the
week end retaking the measure of
our man from Missouri. They will
be ready to go to work.
What is the serious business before
them? Clearly, from Mr.. Churchill's
point of view, it is the re-establish-
ment, insofar as possible, of the COM
radeShip which characterized the re-
lationship Of the two nations during
World War II. Truly and primarily,
as has been pointed out. this is a
good will visit. It is always risky
to predict what Mr.. Churchill will or
will not say on any specific occasion.
He is not the sort of man to be in
Inundated by an agenda. Yet the
advance indications all point to an
intention on both sides to leave aside
for the present the hard problems of
economics which underly most other
British-American problems, and to
try meanwhile to produce a climate
of political understanding and good
will in which those basic problems
can be tackled later with more hope
of success.

the close Anglo-American wartime

ments of that legislative period.
Asking the Biblical question, Should
a man full of talk be justified?"
Senator Nicely told his fellows that
while the eternal Word of God had
been uttered in 1,143 pages in the
Bible, the ephemeral business Of
the Senate alone occupied 1920
pages in the Congressional Record.
There is no reason on this earth
(for this) excepting the application
of verbosity and loquacity from
morning to night by men who are
infatuated with the sound of their
own voices, ;" Senator Neely
lectured his colleagues.
my Christian friends, we have
used 11,780,000 words (in)
senatorial verbosity"
Then he promised his colleagues
that he would move in the session
that opens Tuesday to have the
Senate sergeant at arms period
ically and publicity identify the
leading blabbermouths of the
Senate.
"If we can get that done, :"
he said, I'VE can leave here on the
first day of next May, and go home
and learn what the sensible, un-
diSmayed, unterrified, thoughtful,
prudent, stateSmanlike people back

doing here, and we will learn what
they want done to make the Nation
greater than it ever was before
there was any ). column of YER
bosity, loquacity and redundancy
such as there Is before me on this
desk"
1t remains to be seen whether
Senator Nicely was speaking seri-
ously or in jest. But with years
work to be done, and only half a
year to do it in before convention
time, Congress won't be able to
indulge its traditional passion for
oratory and still accomplish its
important 1852 task.

The great boost he gave the Allied

Some time toward the middle of 1943,
however, he began to lose control of

Roosevelt, was embarked on an effort
to draw Russia into useful association

The result is history. In the clos

proposals were rejected and his OBJ

West to protect its position in
Europe. while it still had the power
