The Roman Senate called it
lad hominem," which means
an attack on the man rather
than the issues he raises, and
evidently senatorial h habits
haven't changed through CEN
turtles Of time.
The effort to "get Nc
Carthy" is slowly reaching
the proportions of a widely in
stigated hysteria. Judging
from some of the vituperative
letters which are coming to the
members of Congress from
anti-McC arthyites, the writers
want to use any totalitarian
method-from abuse to con-
viction without a trial-if only
to rid the Senate of it's most
spectacular prosecutor of Com
munists.
Even United States Senators
of the so-called liberal" school
are saying that. while the Con-
stitution declares that no
citizen shall be deprived Of his
right of free speech-and JUS
tice Oliver Wendell Holmes of
the Supreme Court defined
this as freedom for the
thought we hate"-the Wis
consin Senator nevertheless
must be publicly "censured"
for the opinions he expresses
The Constitution says in an
article about the rights Of
members of Congress:
"And for any speech or de-
bate in either House. they
shall not be questioned in any
other place"
This now is being construed
by a small number CT anti
Mccarthy Senators as mean
ing that a Senator can be
punished for his views by the
Senate itself, which is but an
other way of saying that, be-
cause each house of Congress
makes It's own rules of pro-
cedure and passes on creden-
tials after elections. this gives
Congress the right to invoke
that same authority to censure
a member publicly for his at
titude toward public policies.
This is a form Of thought
control which does not square
with the utterances of So
called liberals who have been
claiming that citizens were
being punished for being
members of the Communist
Party. The courts have ruled
that leaders of that party are
engaged in a conspiracy to

Japan 10 Lei Red China
Seek Trade Contracts
By the Asseeiated Press

TOKYO, Aug. 4.-Japan will
permit carefully screened" trade
representatives from Red China
to enter the country to negotiate
trade contracts, Kyodo News
Service said today.
The Foreign Office sources en-
phasized that the move repre-
sents no change in Japan's for
eign policy, Kyodo said. Japan
does not recognize Red China
and it's foreign policy closely
parallels that of the United
States.
Kyodo also reported the For
eign Office was 'cornered" into
approving the visit here next
month of representatives Of the
Red China Red Cross.
The Japan Red Cross put
heavy pressure on the Office tt
approve the visit. Many thou
sands of japanese are believed tt
be still in Red China. The Japar
Red Cross hopes to dicker fol
! their return.

libel suit for its attack on
Senator McC arthy on this very
charge finally acknowledged In
a public statement 1t was
convinced that Senator Nc
Carthy's part in this tranSac-
ton was on the same plane as
the common practice among
legislators Of accepting fees
for speeches and earning other
fees for legitimate services"
The same newspaper stated
that there has not been any
evidence presented before any
committee or elsewhere that
Senator cCarthy in any way
attempted to intercede in be-
half of LuStron." This refers
to any possible improperly in
doing a favor for the Lustron
Corp, which was then doing
business with the Government.
It's contracts were with the
Truman executive agencies.
with which the Wisconsin Sem
ator, of course, had no in
fuence.
Yet United States Senators
on the liberal side have been
demanding that the Senate,
without taking any further
testimony, without giving any
hearing and without getting
all the facts. should render a
verdict of guilty against the
Wisconsin Senator. That's the
trend now among the liberals
Ito forget all the rules of fair
play and to condemn the SEN
ator from Wisconsin just be-
cause many of their constitu-
ents, swept with an emotional
prejudice, are demanding his
scalp. If that isn't witch
hunting" then the anti-Mc-
Carthyites have been misusing
the term.
So far as the Senate lib
erals are concerned-many of
whom have been accepting fees
for speeches before labor
unions and trade associations
they cannot cast the first
stone, as they are not now
without sin themselves, If in
deed it be sinful for a Senator
to make a speech for money
before an organization which
has legislation pending in Con-
gress. The rise in hypocrisy
here seems to coincide with the
rise in temperature on Capitol
Hill.

For thousands of Americans
Senator Mccarthy is the en-
bodiment Of the 100 per cent
American" spirit that is de-
termined to tolerate no for
eign-inspired "isIns" that con-
sciously intend or unconscious
ly collaborate to undermine
the American system.
AS such the Senator is no
new phenomenon. The United
States has always tended to
swing, sometimes to extremes,
between tolerance and intoler-
ance. liberty and conformity.
I think there are reasons for
this, rooted in the structure
of the Nation, which. unlike
any other great nation-state. is
bound together by no natural
cohesions of blood kinship or
native language. Except in
times OF national emergency or
strain, this Nation is normally
more tolerant and receptive Of
aliens and imported ideas than
any other. This creates waves
of reaction and accounts in
considerable measure for the
American emphasis on loyalty,
since so little else binds Amer
leans together.
In an article not yet pub
lished, I have developed this
theme as it is impossible to
do in a brief column. Here
one can only remark that in
America a swing toward CON-
formity has followed every
war, occurs in every national
crisis, and is partly prod
uct of disillusionment with
wartime promises of the mil
lennium.
The question, to my mind.
is not therefore whether an
increased emphasis on loyalty
and unity is or is not inevi-
