Constantine Brown:

The Kremlin has pushed a
button which has set the "in-
ternal Communist armies" on
the march. These armies exist
In most free nations except the
United States. Britain, Switzer-
land, Spain, Sweden and Por-
tugal. They are subject to the
Kremlin's discipline and are
well provided with small weap-
ons.
In France these forces have
been known since 1946 as the
Marty legions." Marty was an
engineer lieutenant in the
French navy who organized the
.mutiny of the French fleet in
the Black Sea in 1919. He
escaped to Moscow where he
learned all the tricks Of in
ternal warfare.
After the liberation Of France,
he accompanied the Communist
leader, Andre Thorez. who also
had deserted from the French
army in 1889. back to Paris. He
was put in charge Of organizing
into a militant Communist force
the goons who had taken part
in the resistance move against
the Nazis.
During the years Of confusion
following the retirement Of Gen.
de Gaulle from the government,
the hidden Red army in France
was estimated at about $4,000
strong. Between 1945 and 1947
the French Communists were
included in the various French
governments. They held key
positions, such as ministers Of
air, army and industry. These
men took good care to provide
the Marty forces with neces-
sary equipment to have ready
for the "day." These forces are
particularly strong in the south
and center Of France, ready for
a showdown whenever Moscow
gives the word.
In Italy similar COON squads
have been organized under the
command Of Luigi Longo. Pal
rimo Togliatti's right hand man.
The core Of the Italian Com
munist forces also is formed
Of former members Of the Ital-
ian anti-Mussolini resistance
forces. Their key organization

In America, any such faction

An example Of the bitterness
which sometimes crops out in
the theological debates Of the
House Of Commons occurred
the other day during discussion
Of proposals to rearm Germany.
Julian Amery. a Conservative
member. was answering the
Bevanite faction Of the Labor
Party as follows:
EITHER the right honorable
gentleman and his friends are
fellow travellers. but will not
admit It.: or they are so irre-
sponsible that they regard the
struggle for the soul Of Europe
as o pawn In the struggle for
the soul Of the Labor Party"
The problems England faces
are complex indeed. Industrial
disputes are not as acute as in
the United States because the
rise In wages means o rise in
the cost Of production and this
can lead to curtailment Of the
export market on which Britain
depends for survival. This pro-
vides Q restraining influence.
Britons here smile at Amer
ica's troubles between labor and
management and say, "It
couldn't happen here" Even the
Left Wingers" concede that to
set up governmental tribunals
Is not the way to settle disputes
and that collective bargaining
between the parties is really the
only way.
It is recognized. nevertheless,
that there are some acute situa-
tions affecting the national in
terest and that the government
may step In in those cases with
compulsory arbitration. But any
such tribunals are ir-minded
and objective and are just as
sacrosanct as judges on the
bench. They never have been
known to make deals with labor
or management, especially while
cases are before them.
In that respect there is no
parallel here with what is hap
pening In America.

Republican battle. The question
Is:
How and under what condi-
tions can Southern Democrats
ever become Republicans?"
Lots Of them presumably
want to this year. That's their
right. The real" Republicans
as defined by the Taft camp are
few and far between in the
South as recurring elections
have demonstrated-not nearly
enough to carry any Southern
State. A victory in any South
ern State must depend upon
converted Democrats-for there
is no other way in the South
and, II the truth be known, no
other way In the country at
large.
Texans know that-as do
Ohioans and New Yorkers and

Senator Taft's henchmen may

Dovid Lowrence:

LONDON, June 2.-Politics Is
politics the world over. but that
fact IL particularly conspicuous
when one visits the House Of
Commons and listens to the de-
bate.
They call them Conservatives
and Socialists here, but they
might just as well label them
Republicans and Democrats, or
rather administration and anti
administration, and the parallel
would be complete.
Tactics and n1aneuvers are
naturally somewhat different,
because here they have a Parlia.
mentary system, which means
that the executive and legislative
branches Of the government are
merged In one.
When the Prime Minister and
his deputies speak In the House
Of Commons. they are talking on
behalf Of the entire government
In power and not Of just one
branch. This makes the STRAIT
egy which the opposition party
uses even more sharp and pene-
trating It affects the whole ma
ture Of the debate.
Thus, for example, the other
day Prime Minister Churchill
and Foreign Secretary Eden
were explaining o very irnpor-
tant step In negotiations for re-
building German armament.
The two parties faced each
other across the benches. and 1t
waSr Apparent the entire argu-
ment, both on the part Of the
Government and those In op-
position. had been prepared
more with the idea OF putting
the other side in q hole than in
presenting the case to the coun-
try on an objective basis.
The repartee often is tinged
with humor and looks on the
surface to be good-natured. But
many . barb and many q jeer

ton and tension.

organization were his opera
tives.
But this year. for the first
time. it was hauled out and ex-
posed to the whole nation be-
cause Of the wide popular in
terest In Gen. Eisenhower and
the tense and close and bitter
fight that has developed be-
tween him and Senator Taft,
where every delegate is going to
count. The South. consequently.
has become q critical area, per-
haps q decisive one.
Never before has Southern
Republican bossism been chal-
lenged as this year by the Eisen-
hover forces. The folks" have
swarmed into the fight on his
side. This not only is a refresh
ing development. but it may
open the way finally to creation
Of q real Republican Party in
the South which Is 50 sorely
needed, especially II the General
should be nominated and elec-
ted. For the dead mackerel Of
Southern RepublicaniSm has
been dragged into the moonlight
and there. as John Randolph Of
Roanoke once remarked about
an entirely different circum-
stance. it shines and stinks and
stinks and shines.
It will continue to do so. This
year, also for the first time,
people all over the nation will
sit In the audience for the con-
vention by benefit Of television.
There before their eyes will be
re-enacted the whole story Of
what happened. not only In
Texas but In other Southern
States. For the fight over
Southern delegations ultimately
is bound to 60 to the floor Of
the convention in full view. It
cannot be hid away in the
smoke filled rooms any longer.
It probably is much to Gen.
Eisenhower's advantage that it
Is on the very heels Of this
shabby and most spectacular Of
Southern raids that he arrives
here to make his own brief CAM
paign for the nomination.
The Texas farce also raises
another question because Of the
contention Of Taft managers
that It was not ''real'' Repub-
lcans. but Democrats and inde-
pendents who swooped into. the

You recall the saying around
the prize ring about q boxer hav-

A variation Of that is going
the rounds here-and seriously.
It is to the effect that Senator
Taft Of Ohio may have left his

dental nomination in the
smoke-fllle rooms down in
Texas where was cooked up
the brazen coup by which his
managers seized the States dele

even for politically hardened
stomachs.
Senator Taft might be sur
prised to hear the disturbed
private comment from respon-
sible party leaders-realists who
are not finicky or overly sensi-
tive about political manipula-
tions-as they contemplate the
possible bad effects Of this
buccaneering on party morale
generally. That must be high for
the campaign, whoever IL the
nominee.
Such brutal tactics might well
drive Independents away from
the party-for Senator Taft Is
q powerful influence in the
party, as he win continue to be
whether he wins the nomination
or not.
His chances for getting the
nomination could very well be
diminished by the Texas exploit
of derring-do, as astute and

recognize. For they know the

talized for all it's worth by the

Many caches were discovered

1948. But according to available
reports the Communist military

In Japan the Communists
organized themselves quietly
