individuals do. however. In re-
lation to Congress. whether
they be American citizens or
foreign nationals or foreign
government ofiicials, seems to
be largely between them and
the members Of Congress. One
thing Is clear-nothing can be
negotiated" by Senators or
Representatives that binds the
executive branch. though much
can be done TO influence policy
on the legislative side and In
directly the executive policy.
too.
Senator Mccarthy has no
right. legal or otherwise, to
negotiate" with any foreign
government any agreement
that presumably would bind
the United States. But none
Of his Agreements was with
foreign governments, anyway
only with individual ship
owners. His committee can
deal. however. and can "nego-
tiate" with individual citizens
anywhere In the worldso long
as no commitments are made
that involve pledges Of action
or inaction by the executive
branch Of our Government.
Senator Mccarthy says no
such commitments were ever
made.
Actually. the problem is
complicated somewhat by the
fact that the Greek govern
ment, for example. can agree
with the State Department
that it will bar its ships from
carrying on certain trade, but
those same ships, though
owned by Greek citizens, when
transferred to the nag Of an
other country can escape the
jurisdiction Of the Greek gov
ernment Greek nationals re-
siding in Britain or America
can direct the voyages of these
same ships. That's why in
formal agreements among
foreign ShipownerS themselves
is a desirable objective, and
that's why the President and
the State Department COM
n1ended broadly the objective
of the Mccarthy staff and
committee as ''in the national
interest"
The important thing about
the recent agitation is that
attention has been focused,
even though belatedly, on the
way American boys in Korea
have been stabbed in the back
through shipments OF war ma
terials to Red China and So
Wet Russia. These materials
have assisted in the making of
munitions, planes and equip
ment that reach the Korean
battle front. And the trade in
rubber, for instance. with Red
China still goes on despite the
State Department, Senator
Mccarthy, and certain foreign
governments supposed to be
faithful to the objectives Of the
U. N. war In Korea.
What Is important is not
the fine points Of diplomatic or
constitutional etiquette, but
why trading with the enemy
has not been stopped during
the last two years, and what is
being done now to stop it.

Several other cities are in the
first dozen and 10 cities have
larger budgets than those of
% States.
One mayor commented
wryly after the White House
session: I'VE were asked to ex-
plain ourselves to a former
Governor Of one Of those %,
and it's a State which doesn't
have a city in it of over 50,-
600 people," He was referring
to Mr.. Adams, q former New
Hampshire Governor whose
sole previous national expert
ence was one term in the House
OF Representatives.
What stirred the mayors into
action through their organ
ization, the United States
Conference Of Mayors, was the
emphasis President Eisenhower
has been placing on States
Rights. To these men, who are
on the firing line Of democracy
every day in a direct and per-
sonal way, such emphasis
seems old-fashioned; at the
very least, they think it does
not allow for their problems.
Their determination to make
the struggle to be heard and
understood followed reports Of
the White House conference on
Federal-State relations. They
plan to go on with 1t even
though their first impression is
that the Governors have got to

control is dominated by the
Midwest wing Of the party,

in House and Senate are in
its hands. This element is
headed UP in Senator Taft,
who also is administration
leader in the Senate. He will
find himself not only in the
strategic position. but on the
hot spot, in rallying enough
