The End Of Dreams?
Ninety-four per cent Of the
escapes resettled in the last
two years have entered this
country under section &C of
the Displaced Persons Act Of
1948, which expires at mid
night June 80, 1854. Does that
stroke of midnight mean the
end Of hope and dreams for
the men and women in the
camps?
It shouldn't. The Refugee
Relief Act, approved by the
President on August Z. 1853,
provides for the admission of
100000 escapes and refugees,
above the normal quota, up
until December 81, 1856.
= This should be the key to
the golden door" for many
different types of homeless,
among the $4,000 ethnic Ger
man expellees from Com
munist countries, $4,000 ex-
cess-population Italians, 1000
Poles in Britain, several thou
sand Chinese ''intellectuals"
and 1000 orphans.
The act SPECIFICALLY provides
for the admission of $4,000
escapes residing temporarily
in West Germany and Austria.
1t is in conformity with the
controversial and rigid Nc
Carran immigration and Ma
turalization Act and then

finally managed to squeeze .
vote Of confidence from the
Chamber Of Deputies. Yet no
one would venture a guess as
to his staying power.
The Italian lawmakers tried
to build a few safeguards into
the new constitution. A dis
tinction was made between a
negative vote and a no-con-
f1dence vote. The first is not
sufficient to topple the govern
ment. A no-confidence vote
must be proposed by one-tenth
of the representatives and is
voted on after a three day
cooling off period.
But should one or both
chambers fail to come forth
with a vote of confidence, the
government must resign. One
chamber with a hostile ma
jority can therefore overthrow
the government, but one ia
vorably inclined chamber is
not sufficient to maintain it.
The powers to destroy are
greater than the powers to
create.
The Italian constitution also
provides the government with
the weapon of dissolution of
one or both chambers. But,
just as in France, dissolution
is almost never used. and gov
ernments have usually pre-
ferred to resign rather than
go to the expense. trouble
and risk-of a new election.
Accent the Positive
Germany's basic law is an
interesting and so far success
full attempt to avoid the in
stability of coalition govern
ment. Because of this new
constitution. Chancellor AIDE
nauer, who has to contend
with hostile factions in parlia-
ment, has dared to battle
through unpopular measures.
He felt reasonably sure of
staying in Office long enough to
prove their success. He did.
And during the latest elections
he ended up with q robust
majority to the surprise Of
everyone, including himself.
The majority. of course, adds
to German political stability.
Deep-seated political and
economic ills obviously can
not be cured by a new set of
rules. But there is no doubt
that the constitutions Of
France and Italy lean over
backwards to aid every dis
senting opinion and neglect
to emphasize what is positive
and constructive.
The new German constitu-
ton does not muzZle the oppo-
sltion. But it requires that in
addition to criticism there
must be a demonstrated ability
to act. Unless some such pro-
visions for government stabil-
ity are introduced into the
French and Italian constitu-
tons, political disintegration
could again lead to the emery
ence of a dictatorship. Free
dom again could vanish be-
cause not enough safeguards
exist to prevent its abuse.

In addition it would enable

Advice to Lawyers

Myers, criticizing lawyers for
tending to brush off civil ac-

Small litigants, like poor
patients, are entitled to the
best professional services.
Their need is as great and
they have equal right to re-

Refugee Program Logs Despite Womon's Touch
By Ann CottrelI Free

Mrs. Dorothy D. Houghton
has spent part Of her first
year as head Of the Govern
ment's escapee and refugee
program learning about barbed
wire. Her second year. it seems,
may be given over to learning
more about a less prickly, but
just as entangling barrier
red tape.
And the question she may
be asking herself before the
year is out is this: Which is
most effective in preventing
escapee resettlement in the
U. S. A.-barbed wire or red
tape?
Men, women and children
who found life unbearable in
Communist countries have
negotiated wire, mined from
tiers and other border hazards
on their own. But the free
world has been helping them
negotiate that second and very
important step Of finding a
new home
Year on the Job
Mrs. Houghton of Red Oak.
Iowa. former president of the
General Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs. was given a major
hand in this responsibility a
year ago this month. She was
appointed to head the Office
of Refugees, Migration and
Voluntary Assistance Of the
Foreign Operations Admins
tration. This is the first time
that all Of the United States
Governments programs in be-
half of the worlds homeless
have been co-ordinated under
one roof. It Is perhaps senti-
mental and corny. but fitting,
too, that they should be gath
cred under a woman's shelter
ing arms.
Mrs. Houghton'S Office can
not reach all of the 80 million
Of the world made homeless
by political events in their ma
tive lands. But it does its
best. Homeless are divided into
two categories. escapes and
refugees. Escapes are those,
like Hungarians, Czechs, Chi
nese, who have fled Commu-
mist areas. Refugees, like Pal
estine Arabs and India-Pak-
iStan Hindus and Moslems,
cannot return home for various
other reasons.
One of Mrs. Houghton's pro-
grams moving along most sat-
isfactorily is the United States
escapee program in Europe.
But now there is cause for
concern as to the future re-
settlement of many of the
escapes in the United States.
In the past two years, 26.500
East Europeans registered
under the program. Of the
$500 resettled outside Europe,
$3.50 came here. The remain
ing 17,000-a number that will
continue to grow-are still in
camps mainly in West Ger
many and Austria.

eminent. The constitution pro-
vides one day for cooling off
before the ballot Is cast, but
sad experience has shown this
to be a poor safeguard. The
presumably dread threat of
dissolution of parliament"
had little practical scare value
under the old constitution of
1875 and even less today.
Governments have toppled in
France after 1916 with the
same rapidity as before. The
shutting into position, the
dickering behind closed doors,
the bargaining for posts have
continued. Government after
government has tried to keep
its precarious hold on power,
not daring to carry out bold
and perhaps unpopular meas
ureS.
An Old Joke
THE French cabinet has
fallen again." good for a joke
in our grandparents time
takes on a sinister meaning
today when the Communist
Party, representing one-fourth
of the voters is ready to use
the constitution in order to
destroy it.
Many people in France want
a change. There is general
agreement that it should be
more difficult to cast out a
premier and less difficult to
dissolve a refractory parlia-
ment. All sorts of constitu-
tlonal amendments have been
proposed. but none agreed to.
In Italy, too. the 'constitu-
ton lacks proper provisions
for a stable government in
times of crisis. Premier Fan
FAM was kicked out of Office
by a medley of Communists,
pro-Red Socialists. Monarch
lists and neo-Fascists. Weeks
passed while a frantic search
went on for a premier who
might reasonably be expected
to secure a vote of confidence
from these mutually antago-
nistic elements. Mario Scelba

the afildavit. Under the Dis
placed Persons Act, welfare or
CARNATIONS often extended
blanket assurances of jobs and
housing. Unfortunately, some
Of the persons admitted under
this act later landed on the
relief roles. Now, a specific
job and housing must be guar
anteed in advance by a United
States citizen. And If there is
unemployment in that area,
particularly in the line of work
offered the immigrant, the
United States Employment
Service must be asked to ap-
prove the granting of the job.
With increased unemployment
in this country. it Is obvious
that jobs for immigrants will
not be plentiful.
Just what can be done to
get this program moving in
view of these obstacles is a
question for a seer. When the
Refugee Relief Act became law
last summer, Mrs. Houghton
thought 'it marked an impor-
tant step in bringing our do
nestle policy more closely in
harmony with United States
foreign policy detectives"
But her hands have been
tied by provisions of the act.
Some persons who favor a
liberal immigration program
for victims of communism and
other inhumanity are con-
WINGED the law was written as
it was just to keep the num-
Der of admissions as low as
possible. There has been no
administration move toward
amending the act, however.
AS escapes pile up on this
side of Iron Curtain barbed
wire, Dorothy Houghton faces
a grave problem. But no one
should underestimate the
power Of a woman-especially
an American clubwoman.

partment's Bureau Of Secu-
.rity and Consular Affairs.
Mr.. Mcleod told Congress in
January that he hoped $4,000
persons would be admitted by
June 80. To date his Office
comedies that less than so
persons have come in under
the act.
But more specifically. records
at the immigration and Nat
uralization Service Of the JUS
tice Department show that as
OF last week eight persons had
entered under the act.
Why the delay?
There are two big reasons.
One stumbling block is the
so-cAlled certificate of read
mission which each refugee
must obtain from the country
he is leaving. Another is the
required affidavit from an
American who guarantees a
job and housing for the indi-
vidual escapee or refugee.
Three Will Sign
All affected foreign govern
ments except three have
baked at signing certificates
of readmiSsion. This would
mean that these governments
would promise to take back
any alien who falsifies his
United States visa application
in any manner, important or
trivial. Aliens could even be
returned after they became
American citizens if it were
discovered they had misrepre-
sented themselves on their
politics. their health or family
status.
Italy. Greece and the Meth
erlandS are the only three
countries which have consented
to give United States-bound
refugees these certificates Of
readmission.

While Secretary Of State

which has qualified to appear
before the International Court
Of Justice as applicant.
The cases show how much
trouble money can cause when
it gets loose from a safe de-
pository. On September 16,
1943. the Germans seized 1888
Kilograms (5.145 pounds) of
monetary gold deposited with
the Bank Of Italy at Rome and
transferred 1t to the German
government.
The final act of the Paris
Conference on Preparations,
January IA, 1916, provided
that monetary gold found in
Germany should be distributed
in proportion to losses sus-
tanned by German looting.
France. the United Kingdom
and the United States set up
q commission for restitution,
with which Italy filed a claim
because 88.5 per cent of the
capital of the Bank of Albania
was supplied by italy. Albania
also claimed the gold for that
bank.

Those claims we're pending
when the International Court
of Justice inadvertently added
a complication. The British
destroyers Saumarez and Vo-
lage, in passing through the
international highway of the
Corfu Channel on October %.
1916, sustained heavy damage,
with loss of A lives. as a re-
suit of an explosion of mines
laid by Albania. The United
Kingdom brought a case to the
International Court of Justice
which, on April 9, 1949, found
Albania responsible for the
damage. but held that the
United Kingdom had violated
Albanian sovereignty in sweep
ing the channel three weeks
after the explosion without AL
bania's permission.
On December Is, 1949, the
court assessed damages against
Albania for $685. 900. Albania
was absent and paid no atten-
ton to the award: In due time,
London decided to collect by
claiming the gold which had
served as currency cover for
the Bank Of Albania. Since this
metal had an official value Of
nearly $2,632.000. 1t would

Why do governments topple
like tenpins in France and
Italy while Germany. which
was the essence Of political
instability during the days of
the Weimar Republic. has been
able to keep one strong central
government through all the
postwar crisis?
The answer to that question
Is of real interest to the
United States, for European
cabinet upheavals profoundly
effect the foreign policy of this
country.
Many explanations have
been advanced for the rapid
fire changes in governments
of France and, recently, of
Italy. The cause may be in
herent national characteristics.
lack of leadership, or faulty
constitutions.
National characteristics may
we'll form part of the eXplana-
ton - although the German
people certainly have not
changed as completely as has
their government. Leadership.
however. is not lacking either
in France or Italy.
But there is a basic differ
ence in the constitutions of
France and Italy and Of Ger
many.
All Storted Fresh
All three countries adopted
new constitutions after the
war. France in 1916, Italy in
1947 and Germany in 1949.
During the drafting of each,
the memory of a dismal past
doomed large in the minds Of
the lawmakers. Yet only Ger
many seems to have found
the answer to the important
