Lobbying in Washington is
dramatized once again by the
Supreme Courts decision up
holding the Lobby Registration
Act which earlier was declared
unconstitutional by a lower
Federal court here.
The decision directs atten-
ton to the scope of lobbying.
We can get some approxima-
ton Of that in the acts re-
uuirement for reports Of con-
tributions and expenditures by
lobbying organizations and in
dividuals. The court in its de-
cision also directed attention
to ways in which Congress
might amend the act to make
certain that it protects the
rights of free speech, free
press, petition and assembly.
On this point, the dissenting
minority of three judges
Justices Black, Douglas and
Jackson-expressed fear that
the law because of its vague
ness might infringe such
rights. That was recognized
likewise by the majority-flve
judges-in the opinion written
by Chief Justice Warren which.
itself, narrowed the act
through Interpretation to pro-
tect those rights.
AS for lobbying in Washing
ton, it is no revelation to say
that 1t has become rather big
business. Expenditures OF $4,-
ST., 291 were reported to Con-
gress by some 375 organiza-
lions and individuals for the
year 1853, according to a tabu-
lation made by this reporter
from final reports that recently
became available in the Con-,
gressional Record. Reports are
required to be submitted quar-
terly.
The organizations ranged

presSuring France to grant full
Self-government to states of
Indo-C China. Voted for legis-
lation to admit 214,000 aliens
during next three years, most
of them refugees from behind
the Iron Curtain.
Senator Mccarthy IN his
voting record went along with
various Democrats and Re-
publicans on several amend
ments to cut down particular
appropriations in foreign-aid
bills but, when beaten, he
always voted on the roll call
for final passage for the sums
desired by the majority of the
Senate. He is not recorded as
voting against any final bill
for foreign aid.
There have been no impor-
tant votes on international
questions in the present Ses-
sion. The Wisconsin Senator
has made several speeches
about EMBRACING all trade
with Red China-an issue
which is not confined to any
party or political faction in
the Senate.
II, however, voting records
as a whole are to be classified
as "isolationist" or "co-opera-
ZIONIST" Senator Mccarthy
cannot justly be characterized
either by Europeans or Amer
leans as in the "isolationist"
category.

Dovid.Lowrence-

A natural question asked OF
any one returning from abroad
is: What do Europeans think
about the Mccarthy contro-
versy?"
It actually is. far more
topic of conversation among
Americans living in Europe
than it is, for instance, among
the citizens of Switzerland or
France or Britain. Americans
there divide about as they do
in this country. Most Euro
peans have exhibited relatively
little concern about the issue
of internal communism, even
though Communists have been
discovered in high places in
the government of some Of our
allies. Lately there have been
some manifestations of a grow
ing awareneSs of the menace.
But, basically, whatever in
terest there is in the Mccarthy
episode stems from a belief
that the Wisconsin Senator is
unfriendly to international CO.
operation. Many of the press
dispatches and editorials ap-
pearing in European newspa-
pers regularly refer to Senator
Mccarthy as a "right-wing
iSolationist." To Europeans, Of
course, an "isolationist" is one
who doesn't want to send
American troops to Europe or
who doesn't want to appropri-
ate money for economic or
military aid abroad. In Europe,
they are far more interested
in whether an American Con-
gresham is sympathetic to
them on economic Corpora
ton than in what he does on
domestic issues within the
United States.
In order to set the record
straight on this point-which
is susceptible of producing
misunderstanding about the
attitude of the American Con-
gress toward Europe-this cor
respondent has examined the
roll-call votes of Senator
Mccarthy on international
questions since he entered the
Senate in 1947. There is no
evidence to justify the char
acterization of the Wisconsin
Senator as an "isolationist."
In fact. the evidence-which

Those inside and outside the
Government who look realis-
tically at the world situation
and recognize that whether
we like to admit it or not we
are at war with the Commu-
mist dictators are diSmayed at
the do-notEing policies Of the
Western governments and par
ticularly at our own indeciSion.
There is much talk in WASH
ington about what to do and
particularly what not to do to
meet the Red aggression in
Asia.
There seems to be strong
feeling in administration quar-
tiers that short of a Red at
tack on the territory of the
United States, the American
people are not sufficiently
awake to recognize the threat
to their freedom; that so long
as the Red bombers have not
attacked our cities they will
not consent. to any drastic
steps to put a halt to the per-
sistent advances of the Red
avalanche in Asia. The policy
of "let the dust settle" of the
Truman administration is be-
ing followed in fact by its sue
ceSSor.
The present administration
continues to think along the
lire that unless Great Britain
and France give us the green
light to tangle with the Com
munists in Asia, we would ap-
pear to be going it alone.
The fact is that even II
these two Western European
allies were to associate them
selves with a concrete action

Oddly enough, little is
known in the United States
about "Ho Chi MIMI" Com
munist leader of Indo- China,
who is presently causing the
West its chief troubles and its
greatest danger of large-scale-
war.
Ho Chi Mini ("The En-
lightener") is. like the names
of most Communist leaders, a
pseudonym. Now 81 years old,
he fell afoul of French au-e
thorities as far back as 1910
when his father. an official
employed by the French. was
fired for supporting the first
Iiationalism movement in In
do-China. Neither he. nor his
18-year-old son. Nguyen All
Quoc, were then radicals"
Upon his fathers dismissal
the youth enlisted as a kitchen
hand on a French liner and
travelled for 7 years, settling
down in Paris in 1918, and
Joining the Socialist Party.
In 1919, he addressed a petit
ton on Indo-China to the
Versailles Peace Conference,
demanding not even autonomy
but only freedom of press and
assembly, and the adding OF
a native delegation to the
French Parliament.
Nothing happened, and a
year later the young man to-
gether with the French So
cialist left wing Joined the
Communists, headed the CO.
lonial section of the French
Communist Youth Organiza-
ton, and in 1923 was sent to
Moscow for two years, re-
turning only in 1925 to the
Far, East, when he was sent to
Canton, China, to recruit Com
munist cadres among 1ndo-
Chinese exiles. Thenceforth
he was a Comintern official in
Southeast Asia.

This is true to some extent
only. The many contradic-

elastic mind, however. There
is little doubt that If President
