The Senate Internal Secu-
rity subcommittee has been
studying and analyzing for al
most a year some 900 volumes
of minutes. memoranda and
personal observations which
Henry Morgenthau kept during
his 10 years as Secretary of the
Treasury. But it has held only
one perfunctory hearing at
which he appeared in execu-
tive session as a friendly and
cooperative witness.
According to available infor-
nation, the so million words of
notes and memoranda con-
tain highly revealing informa-
ton as to how the interna-
tional game was played by Mr..
Morgenthau's underlings in the
Treasury before, during and
after the war. They tell how
officials connected directly or
indirectly with the Treasury
on numerous occasions framed
and influenced foreign policies.
They repeatedly show how
these individuals frustrated de-
cisions Of the Chief Executive
by delaying and run-around
tactics.
Should the subcommittee,
headed now by Senator East
land, decide to hold public
hearings, the so-called Nor
genthau diaries" will not only
throw light on how history was
actually made during the fate
full five years of war and there
after but may also serve as an
object lesson for present and
future administrations.
The diaries will disclose how
a few men In sympathy with or
welded to the Red theology
were able to sidetrack decisions
taken at the highest level. The
documents are said to be far
more important and revealing
than the Institute Of Pacific
Relations papers which formed
the basis of the investigation
by the same committee headed
by the late Senator McCarran.
For some reason the sub
committee has done little to
bring the facts before the pub
lie. 1t has busted itself with
other matters which. while in
teresting, are of only relative
importance. For instance, on
June II it heard a number of
witnesses in connection with
the dissemination Of Commu-
mist propaganda through some
foreign-language newspapers
in this country. Many Of the
witnesses refused to testify on
the ground that this would in

Justice Douglas Foreign Policy

United States has forever cut
them OF from the opportunity
to regain their liberty in their
own homeland, the Nationalist
government viii collapse over
night. Their case would be
hopeless. America would lose
face throughout Asia.
Also, when a Supreme Court
justice advances that kind of
a formula. it is bound to give
the European governments
which have been at odds with
Secretary Dulles on this issue
considerable encouragement.
Now, it so happens that
American sentiment against
the admission Of Red China
has on the whole not changed.
There is still a deep-seated
feeling that the aggressor
should not be rewarded by a
seat in the United Nations.
The latter organization de.
nounced the Peiping govern
ment as an aggressor In Feb
ruary, 1851, and 10000 Amer
ican boys were killed and no.
600 wounded in repelling that
aggression.
Many Americans formerly in
public life-as, for instance.
former Senator Austin of Ver-
mont. head of the United
States delegation at the U. N,
and Gen. George Marshall
are members Of a Committee
of One Million Against the Adj
mission of Communist China
to the United Nations.
But. irrespective of the rner-
its or demerits of Justice Doug
las proposals, will the left
wingers" in America be as vo-
ciferous in criticizing him for
butting in on the executive
branch of the Government as
they have been in the case of
Senator Mccarthy? Indeed,
will they criticize Justice Doug
las at all? It will be interest
ing to watch for any such
comments from the '1eft wing"
press in America.

press-they took the usual
refuge in the Fifth Amend
ment.
On June n the committee
interrogated MARCEL Hitcha-
nova. a member of the Paki-
stan Times staff, and re-
portedly a Communist espio-
mage agent accredited to the
United Nations Office.
And finally the committee
heard a former member of the
staff Of a New York newspaper
which recently ceased publica-
ton. He testified that while he
was an active reporter he be-
longed to q Communist cell.
This Communist organization
was acting more than in its
usual subversive capacity. 1t
was actually a coverup for the
Soviet military intelligence.
The reporter took credentials
as a foreign correspondent in
1889 and used them not for
reporting purposes, but to help
the Red military espionage
services in Finland.

esting but only relatively i'm

diaries" which are said to cover
our major war and postwar
policies not only in Germany
but also in the Far East. Many
of the actors" have already
appeared on the congressional
stage during the IPR hearings.
Others are newcomers insofar
as the public is concerned.
The consequences of the ac..
tionS of these high Govern
ment officials In key positions
are still being felt and are at
least partially responsible for
the sad plight of the world and
the costly difflculties in which
this country finds itself today.
There is no doubt that the
Communist plots engineered in
Moscow by people talented in
subyersion Of all types will be
with us for q long time. In
vestigations by congressional
committees cannot avoid the
termiting Of this country. But
highly important revelations by
these committees, If done in
the judicial atmosphere which
existed at the McCarran hear
ings, can alert the Nation to
the dangers of Communist
penetration. They also could
alert the executive branch
which sometimes is shy about
stirring up another hornets
nest. particularly at times when
delicate" international con-
ferences are on the way.

President Eisenhower's Com
mission on Intergovernmental
Relations came in like a dino
saur and went out like a
lamb,
One of the first fruits of the
Republican triumph in 1852,
the commission was established
by the 83d Congress in early
1853 at the Presidents re-
quest. In his message asking
for it, the President said the
commission was to seek means
of achieving a sounder rela-
tionship between the Federal,
State and local governments"
In his campaign. the Presi-
dent had spoken palmer than
that. He had promised to cut
down on big government and
return to the States duties and
responsibilities ssum e d in
Washington by the New Deal.
The new commission was
widely hailed as the beginning
of the fulfilment of that prom
Use. That understanding was
underscored when Mr.. Eisen-
hover appointed Clarence
Manion, former head of the
Notre Dame Law School. as its
first chairman. Mr.. Manion
was, and is, an articulate
spokesman for the Republican
right.
Two years and three months
later, the commission. under
another chairman, Meyer
Kestnbaum, has now reported.
Its discussions constitute a
polite political lecture on Fed
eral-State relationships which
can be read with profit by
anyone interested in that ad-
mitted problem. What 1t def
initely is not is a blueprint
for dismantling the govern
mental structure built up here
In 20 years Of Democratic rule.
The Federal Government is
criticized. though not all mem
bers Of the commission always
agreed with the criticism. But

sion. They are warned to get

could conceivably be Of con-
siderable embarrassment to
the American Government in
its relations with other pow
erS.
The justice urged, for ex-
ample, that the West should
recognize Communist China
and recommended that China
itself no longer be a member of
the Security Council.
There are two Chinas to-
day." Justice Douglas said.
"The thing to do is to recog-
nize that fact and work out a
settlement with Red China
toward her recognition. At the
same time we should protect
Nationalist China"
The Supreme Court justice
suggested that Formosa be
placed under a United Nations
trusteeship until its future is
decided and that q decision
might be reached by a plebi-
scite or referendum. He added
that Rec China, If admitted to
the u. NJ. should not be given
a seat on the Security Coun-
cii and that the Nationalist
governments seat should be
given tt some other power so
that neither China would be
on the Council.
This is exactly what many
Europeans and not a few
Asians really want to see hap
pen. It's the way to kill the
Nationalist government and
deprive the United States of
the biggest military force it
now has allied with it for the
protection Of Southeast Asia
against Communist aggression.
