gressional committees, there
isn't a rule being proposed
now that would prevent the
damage done under the New
Deal administration through
the covert sending to Capitol
Hill by executive officials Of
information with which to
smear citizens innocent Of any
wrongdoing except to hold
views opposite from the in
cumbent party.
Every member of the House
and Senate enjoys a legal i'm
munity from restraint on what
he says about the citizen. No
libel law can reach any SEN
ator or Representative unless
he makes his damaging utter
ances away from the floor, and
he is privileged to repeat any
thing he has already said In
Congress or before q commit
tee.
So those persons who think
some kind of reform is being
sponsored by those Repub-
lican or Democratic members
Of Congress who have made
Understanding talks about a
substantial revision of the rules
are being misled. For it would
be absurd if a committee were
required to notify ahead of
time a witness who is under
fire what the charges are
against him. Such a witness
could, through his lawyer.
hamstring the committee in
definitely and prevent it from
getting at the truth.
Alger Hiss or his attorneys
could easily have checkmated
the House committee if all the
data possessed by the commit
tee had been turned over to
him in advance or If he had
been allowed to cross-examine
witnesses.
Another illusion rather
widespread is that the con-
gressional committee has no
legitimate reason for existence
except to gather information
for legitimate purposes and
that to expose individuals
who are guilty Of wrongdoing
not yet covered by any law is
somehow only an executive
function.
There are many hundreds
OF persons who have escaped
detection because the statute
of limitations has run on their
acts. yet they have been en-
gagged in Communist Party
activities which are close to
moral if not legal treason. The
congressional committee is the
only vehicle through which
they can be exposed before

Secretary Dulles proposed
the Southeast Asia pact idea
last April. The situation then
was far better than it is now,
with the French Union forces
in q fair position militarily
and Dien Bien Phu still in the
future. Mr.. Dulles wanted to
warn the Communists that the
free world would meet force
with force.
Had the British and French
not turned down that pro-
posal, there was at least Q

information developed later.
that the Western allies headed
by 'warmongering" America
would do everything in their
power to prevent further Red
victories. The Southeast Asia
defense proposal had then q
realistic value.
Unfortunately, our allies
seem to be afflicted today with
what may be called paralysis
of the will power. When the
American proposal had an ex-
cellent chance Of success it
was turned down; now that it
seems almost futile, 1t Is
eagerly sought.
This Southeast Asia pact, il

halt further Red advances in

One such is Senator Barry
M. GoldWater of Arizona.

remarkable speech in the SEN

us. We cannot act toward

the proposals for purchase
struck him as fair to the Amer

preventing congressional sane

toughest battle came when
Henry Ford made an offer,
since the Ford name had mag

because the Ford proposal was
even worse, price-wise, than
others that had been rejected.

us. however, that the COM
munists have two methods Of
conquest. If military agrees
sion is inadvisable or ineffec-
tive, infiltration and subver-
sion are resorted to. The lat
ter tactic is most successful in
areas already softened up by
an impression of Red invinci-
bility.
Diem Bien Phu made the
requisite impression on Indo-
China, including Laos and
Cambodia. There is little ques-
ton in the minds of observers
that as soon as an armistice
is signed, Communist political
skirmishers will seek to do In
Laos and Cambodia what they
did In Hungary and CEecho-
slovakia after the defeat Of
the Nazis. Their chances Of
success are much greater In
Asia than they were in Cen
trail Europe.
The proposed Southeast
Asia pact of last April was de-
signed to save the freedom Of
all the peoples Of Indo- China.
It would have encouraged the
Laotians and Cambodians and
all of Southeast Asia to resist
the Reds with courage and the
knowledge of powerful world
backing. 1t would have given
the ASians a new look at the
white man, and weakened the
old argument Of the Reds
that every move made by the
West in Asia seeks to perpetu-
ate "colonialism."
But when peace terms are
dictated by the Communists.
as Is about to be the case,
there will be little reason for
these Asiatic peoples to place
their faith in the free world
Of the West.
