the charge that the hearings
were rigged to the advantage
OF those who never have ac-
cepted the system in principle.
The hearings ended in an at
mosphere of confusion and
bad feeling.
Early in the fray, in fact
helping to precipitate it, ap-
peared the United States
Chamber of Commerce. Al
most Immediately after Gen.
Eisenhower's Inauguration,
mindful of his campaign
promise to work for an ex-
pansion of the system to take
in some millions of citizens
not now covered, the chamber
announced a plan to achieve
just that. The plan provided,
however, for putting the sys-
tenn on a pay-as-you-go basis.
This Is just one facet of the
issue now coming to a boil,
but it is interesting to see how
Labor's League for Political
Education (AFL) handles it.
by expanded coverage,"
says the leagues latest letter,
"the chamber means that the
social security insurance sys-
tenn would be eliminated and
replaced by a charity system
under which every one would
be eligible for a pension
about $25 per month. The
cost of this charity system
would be met first by using up
the $18-billion insurance re-
serve fund which the millions

OF people now under social
security paid annual premiums
for out of their paychecks and
thought was being held as a
sacred trust fund for their own
retirement or for their sur
vivors. After this reserve fund
was wiped out, the size of the
charity benefits and who
would be eligible would be
determined from year to year
by the whim of each Congress.
Pay as you go means hop
ing that Congress will set taxes
and appropriate enough money
to pay pensions each year.
-. We would be at the mercy
of Congress without any right
to benefits based on past
wages and paid for out of a
reserve fund built up from our
own payroll deductions, such
as We now have"
Having in mind the years
during which the Townsend
Plan kept the politicians of
both parties in a state of jit-
tiers, it is surprising now to
witness a tendency on the part
of the Republican managers
to trif1e with the vote of the
old folks. which grows larger

New French-Soviet Pact Seen
Significance Attached to Flight by Doodier and Others
To Poland, and Possibility They Met Russians There

While the conference was
in progress a group of IL
French parliamentarians, in
cluding such powerful oppo-
nents of the European De-
fense Community treaty as
former Premier Eduoard Dala-
dier and the leader of the
De Gaulle representatives,
Jacques Soustelle, few to Po-
land without fanfare. Accord
ing to informed reports, they
met important men from the
Kremlin in addition to repre-
SentativeS of the host country.
The Kremlin men are said to
have suggested that France
consider the world situation
from the standpoint of her
own security and in the light
of future German threat.
1t has been obvious for some
time to all observers who have
taken the trouble to analyze
the present structure of the
NATO that the French people
regard the organization as
more or less a milestone around
their necks. The French Par
lament has obStructed the
ratification of the EDO treaty
because it felt that it bad such
a mandate from the electorate.
The fear of Germany's eco
nomic and military revival
transcends by far the French
peoples fear of the U. S. S. R.
1t should be noted that the
20-year treaty of alliance be-
tween France and the U. S.
S. r. signed in 1945 in Moscow
is effective for another IL
years. Hence, Soviet sugges-
tion that this treaty be imple-
mented on the basis of the
allies wartime promises that
they would see that Germany
never again becomes military
power appears logical from the
French view.

There are strong, and to a
certain degree substantiated,
rumorS in Washington that
the u. S. S. R. is preparing
another diplomatic "Molotov
cocktail in the shape of an
offer of a security pact with
France against any outside
aggression.
Although the Bermuda con-
ference has been held in a
"Yalta- like" secrecy insofar as
the press is concerned, there
are reasons to believe that
the French representatives,
Premier Joseph Laniel and
Foreign Minister Georges
Bidault, have felt that they
have not received the con-
sideration due to great world
power, particularly from Prime
Minister Winston Churchill.
What Is more important,
however, Is the fact that
President Eisenhower and Mr..
Churchill have been unable to
give France formal assurances
that the numerical strength
of the American and British
forces in Germany would not
be reduced after Germany has
begun its rearmament. This
is a matter which is as much
in the hands of the respective
parliaments as it is in those
of the policy makers. More
over the heads Of the Ameri-
can and British governments
have refused once more to
intervene in the Saar dispute.
which they consider a matter
to be settled directly between
Germany and France.
All these questions were
considered in Paris before a
limited vote of confidence was
given to Premier Laniel to
enable him to participate as
an equal-and not a mere
observer - in the Bermuda
conference.

warned of another almost
irrepressible conflict. The
Negroes say that 13 million
Negroes will be unhappy if
segregation gets Supreme
Court approval in any form.
The Southern leaders threaten
to close their public schools,
the foundation stone of Amer
lean democracy, if segregation
is barred.
This is the issue politicians
duck, usually under cover of
arguments about cloture rules.
The court has no such privi-
legged sanctuary. The cases
have reached it and it is
listening.
That the nine judges are
thoroughly mindful of the ex-
plosive possibilities was proved
last spring when 1t asked for
the present arguments. There

instration. they knew, and
they wanted the new Presi-
dent and his people to under
stand the issue and give the
court the benefit of their
views. After all, theirs will
be the executive RESPONSE
bility.
Perhaps more light will be
shed on just what those views
are when Assistant Attorney
General j. Lee Rankin speaks
up later this week. Attorney
General Brownell's brief was
a side-step. He told the court
it had the power to decide the
case. He did not-in contrast
to Attorney General McGran-

The few shreds Of informa-
ton which have reached Paris
from the Bermuda meeting Of
the Big Three indicate that
Eisenhower and Churchill have
strongly warned France that
unless the EDO pact is ratified
by the French National Assem-
bly, before early next spring
Germany would proceed with
the organization of a military
force on the basis of an agree
ment with the United States
and Britain. The fact that we
signed an agreement with
Spain this fall whereby we will
help increase the military po-
tential of that country shows
our French friends that we
mean business in regard to
Germany as we'll.
MeSsrs. Laniel and Bidault
are in no position to promise
much less guarantee-the
ratification of the EDO by their
Parliament even if they were
disposed to comply with our
and Britain's requests. They
are in Office now only on suf-
ferance. They will be compelled
to resign, unless they are over
thrown on their return to
Paris, when a new President Of p
France takes Office in January
on the expiration of the term
of Vincent Auriol. Their pres
ence at Bermuda has not
helped in any way America and
Britain's future planning for
the NATO. But the French
have found out that we remain
firm in our decision to increase
the European Western defense
system by the addition of Ger.
man forces. b.,
The reported Soviet offer for
a security pact between Paris
and Moscow will find many
more advocates and supporters
in France than the European
defense pact.

Twelve years ago this week
the Japanese attacked Pearl
Harbor-and the general i'm
preston in America ever since
then has been that the war
came Unexpectedly and sud-
denly, without warning of any
kind. This is fallacious, and
it is important to refute such
a notion because wars do not
come without warning. The
Nation expected war with ia
pan. There was absolutely no
justification for the failure of
the Army and Navy chiefs in
Washington to establish the
kind Of defense against attack
which would have prevented
the loss of more than 5000
American lives.
Not only was the fleet kept
in the harbor when 1t should
have been at sea, but the Army
did not have the necessary
planes in Hawaii to thwart an
airplane attack launched from
the decks of naval aircraft
carriers in the event that the
first line Of defenSe-the Navy
was penetrated.
The American people were
aware Of the prospect Of war
with Japan, but why, there
fore, did not the Army and
Navy know that war condi-
tionS were virtually begun sew
eral days before December 7,
1941, when the attack on Pearl
Harbor occurred?
This correspondent reflected
in his dispatches before the
fatal December 7 the aware
ness Of official Washington on
the gravity of the war crisis.
On December /, 1941, this
correspondent wrote:

cry for the Truman admins
tration-tell them they ought
to decide it against segrega-
ton.
Even this did not please the
Eisenhower Democrats of the
South, including Gov. Byrnes.
They are seriously embar-
raSsed by the fact that a
victory against segregation may
be won in an Eisenhower ad-
ministration after they had
successfully STAYED it off during
Democratic tenure.
Whichever way the decision
goes, it will have significant
political repercuSsions. Since it
affects the lives and traditions
and deep emotions of so many
people it is also one of the great
social decisions of the era.
Nothing is more fruitlesS
than to attempt to forecast a
Supreme Court decision. Most
of the men now on the court
have had immediate and direct
contact with the same pres
Sures put upon Congress and
State legislatures. Chief JUS
tice Warren. lately California;
Governor, understands better
than most people all that is
involved in matters affecting
the social system. He is in no
sense an extremist although a
man of principle.
The question is often asked
whether it is within the power
of the court to set time table
for the abolition of segregation.
Legal authorities say yes. 1t is
the solution many politicians
hope for.

Warnings Before Pearl Horbor
American People Were Aware Of Prospects OF War,
So Where Wos the Sip-Up? High in the Mi!itory?

"The situation has not taken
on a final pattern, however.
The chance for a peaceful
settlement is dependent on the
absence or presence of an overt
act that can at any moment
end the discussions and con-
versations between the two
governments"
Most of the dispatches writ
ten by this correspondent in
the days prior to the break
were taken up with arguments
as to how peace could be main
tanned. and 1t was suggested
that an agreement to preserve
the status quo of the military
forces be worked out so that
peace conversations could pro-
ceed without threat of inter-
ruption by an overt act.
The gravity of the whole sit
uation was described to the
newspaper correspondents by
Sumner Wells, UnderSecretary
of State, several days before
the attack came at Pearl Har-
Dor. The press reflected the
seriousness of the turn Of af-
fairs in our relations with
Japan. War was definitely in
the headlines. Yet somebody in
the military services in Wash
ington blundered. The neces-
sary orders to make sure the
Army and Navy were on the
alert at Hawaii were never is
sued-and there never was a
court-martial of the late Ad-
miral Kimmel and the late
General Short, both Of whom
demanded it in vain. So the
truth of what did happen
inside the military establish
ment in Washington has never
been fixed, and the blame has
never been imposed where it
belonged.

eff the United States and
Japan are on the verge of war
and the headlines would
seem to indicate it, as do also
the strange maneuvers behind
the scenes-then it is the first
time in the history of the
United States that a major
war approaches without in
forming the American people
of just what the issues are and
why war is so essential to the
settlement of the difficulties"
On December 2, 1941, this
correspondent wrote as fol-
lows:
For reasons best known to
the exponents Of secret di-
plomacy, the United States is
taking the lead in the Far
East. One wonders what the
President will say to Congress
If war between Japan and the
United States does come.
That's one reason why 1t is
desired to do nothing to take
the initiative in q military
way, leaving the aggression
to be an act Of the Japanese"
The same day Prime Minis
ter Churchill had announced
that, II war came between
the United States and Japan,
Great Britain would within
an hour declare war against
Japan.
On December 2, 1941, after
speculating where the covert
act" might come, the writer
said:
War with Japan means war
between the United States and
Germany, too. But even this
risk is in the minds Of high
officials as one that cannot
deter the United States from
standing firm in its relations
with Japan.

Social Security Becomes Issue
Labor Press Indicates That Proposals Change System
May Cause Hottest Controversy in Next Compoion

It is beginning to appear
that the hottest campaign is
sue next year so far as organ
lied labor is concerned will not
be the Taft-Hartley law, or
even what happened to Mar
tin Durkin, the plumber per-
suaded to sit for a time in
President EiSenhower's well-to-
do cabinet. At present there
seems little prospect of any
important changes being made
in TIL, either good or bad
from the standpoint of labor,
and that will minimize the
law as an issue. AS for Mr..
Durkin, the feeling among
labor politicoS seems to be
that Gen. Eisenhower should
have known better than to
appoint him and that Mr.. Dur
kin should have known better
than to accept.
Barring a serious downtrend
in employment, which would
submerge any other issue,
labor is likely to be fighting
hardest next summer against
efforts to weaken the national
social security system. This is
being made clear by the labor
press and by the political
literature pouring out weekly
to the millions of members of
labor unions. AFL and CIO
and their aff1liateS are endeav-
oring to educate or re-educate
the workers and the country
on the subject of social Sc
curity.
Social security is a compli-
Gated subject. Most people
simply consider it a good thing,
something to be perpetuated,
but few understand how it
works. That applies even to
those who see 112 per cent
of their wages taken from
them each week to match an
equal assessment on their
employers to build up the fund
from which benefits are paid.
Which may account for the
fact that the labor econo-
miSts have started their edu-
cational campaign early. That,
plus the fact that a subcom-
mittee Of the House Ways and
Means Committee, undertak-
Ing some hearings on proposals
for changes in the present sys-
tenn. laid itself wide open to
