Congress and Seizure

The Supreme Courts steel decision
IN, 1852 turned on the question of the
Presidents power to seize private prop
erty In the absence Of authorizing legis-
iation. No such question would arise II
Congress authorized the Commissioners
] to seize and operate the Capital Transit
Company, although such an action would
b, raise other legal questions of equal I'M
portance.
In the Supreme Courts opinion on
=, the steel case, however, Justice Black
made reference to the historical attitude
of Congress toward seizure as a method
of ending labor disputes. His remarks In
That connection are not without signifi-
7eance as regards pending proposals to
seize the transit lines
The use of the seizure technique to
solve labor disputes in order to prevent
work stoppages, Justice Black wrote, was
mot only unauthorized in the steel case
by any law, but prior to the steel con-
troversy Congress had refused to adopt
that method of settling labor disputes.
When the Taft Hartley Act was under
>. consideration in 1947, Congress rejected
: an amendment which would have author
: ized such governmental seizures in cases
of emergency. Apparently it was thought
that the technique Of seizure, like that Of
compulsory arbitration, would interfere
& with the process Of collective bargaining.
Consequently, the plan Congress adopted
in that act did not provide for seizure
In any circumstances. Instead, the plan
: sought to bring out settlements by use
: Of the customary devices Of mediation,
: conciliation, investigation by board Of
inquiry, and public reports. In some In
stances temporary injunctions were au-
e thorized to provide cooling-of periods.
s ALI this failing, the unions were left free
to strike if the majority Of the employees,
by secret ballot expressed desire to do
So"
In view of this historical attitude OF
Congress, it is rather difficult to believe
that in the case of the transit company
Congress is now to introduce seizure as a
method of temporarily ending labor dis
pute. On the other hand. no suggestions
for legislation in this case apply the
principles Of mediation and fact-finding
that Congress has followed elsewhere.

THE GAME OF POLITICS
BY FRANK R. KENT
The General at Geneva

With the President now
actually participating in the
so-called summit conference, !"
politicians Cboth those who
like him and those who do
not) are somewhat at q loss.
The potentialities are so vast
and SO unpredictable that they
dwarf all ordinary political
issues to microscopic size and
make personal attacks such as
have been emanating from
Senator Kefauver and others
seem particularly stupid and
absurd.
For it does seem that this Is
the most momentous meeting
of statesmen or rulers ever held
anywhere at any time. It is.
of course. possible that,
through agreement and good
will. some step win be taken
by the "Big Four" that will
be recognized as definitely in
the direction Of peace and the
tightening Of the crushing
armament burden which bears
so heavily on US all. We have
been clearly warned not to ex-
pect too much. But even a
small move in the right direc-
ton will have q tremendously
beneficial effect. It would raise
the whole worlds morale. How
ever little the step. II it should
be in the right direction and
not just propaganda, it would
have, throughout the world, an
extraordinarily stimulating and
healthful response.
All Want Success
Certainly, 1t is reasonable to
assume that every one Of the
four principals In this extraor-
dinary conference - Eisen-
hover for the United States,
Eden for Great Britain. Bull
ganin for Russia and Faure
for France-personally wants
1t to be q success. personally
is anxious for 1t to fulfill the
hopes Of the masses Of the
people In his own country and
In all countries. It Is almost
inconceivable that any one Of
the four is SO congenitally evil
and unbalanced as to want to
plunge the world into the worst
Of all wars from which no ma
ton could survive and as a
result Of which the human race
itself would be destroyed. The
fact, Of course, Is that for every
one Of these four representa-
tives it will be Of immense
personal advantage for this
conference to succeed. 1t will
stabilize the government Of
every one Of them, politically
strengthen him immensely.
add vastly to his prestige and
power.
Looking at 1t from the most
selfish and cynical point of
view, there is othing for any
Of these men in having this
conference a failure, every
thing in having it succeed. no
matter who is responsible for
its success. Because Of these
practical facts, the Eisenhower
optimism seems l-founded

and the outlook brighter than
had been hoped. At any rate.
the pessimists In both parties.
while spreading q good deal Of
gloom, do not at the moment
dare to 60 out on the limb to
the point Of predicting an a1l-
around failure at Geneva. To
be sure. there are some COM
plicated and extremely diff
cult problems to be solved. To
be sure, there are some con-
cessions that must be made
which seem impossible to make
and no one has all the answers.
Also, it Is more true than
most people realize that one Of
the greatest blocks to the sue
cess Of this great conference is
language. So few Englishmen.
Americans and Frenchmen
speak Russian. So few Of those
who do speak Russian speak
it well. Likewise it is true that
not many Russians speak
either English or French well.
Language Is on an occasion
such as this a great barrier.
It makes complete understand
ing very dificult. indeed: it
makes some misunder erstanding
easy and almost inevitable.
The President is exceedingly
fortunate in having as his in
terpreter and adviser Arnbas-
sador Charles E. Bohlen. who
has represented US in Russia
for the past three years. Prob
ably Mr.. Bohlen speaks, reads
and understands Russian bet
ter than any other man in this
country. He Is able, expert
enced and trustworthy. With
his help Mr.. Eisenhower may
not do all he hopes at this
conference but he certainly Is
going to be In there trying.
Hiatus In Shipping
Despite the violent anti
Russian denunciations. which
the President deplored before
he left, 1T seems that even
his most waspish congressional
foes have abandoned their
sniping over such things as the
Cancelled Dixon-Yates contract
while he Is at the conference.
OF course, If nothing should be
achieved there or should 1t be
generally recognized as Q fall
ure, this Sniping would be inn
mediately renewed with in
creased malice and force. That
is to be expected at q period
so close to the presidential
election, especially on the part
Of presidential aspirants. On
the other hand. II without loss
Of dignity and without giving
real substance to the charge
Of "appeasement" or "surren-
der" (Which. it will be agreed.
are somewhat foreign to the
Eisenhower nature) the con-
ference ends with a justified
better feeling in the civilized
world, 1t will be immensely dis
couraging to the Eisenhower
political detractors Of the
Morse, Kefauver and Hum
phrey type.

against racial discrimination,
as the article mentions.
The Bible quotation under
"The Case Against Segrega-

should read Galatians iii, 20"

and is a perfectly valid argu-
ment The complete verse
reads, "There is neither Jew

other forcible means of "in-

The quotation given for

Death Of John Hay

of State John Hay at his sum-
mer home on Lake Sunapee,
near Newbury. N. H. He had
been Ill for several weeks, yet
the end was sudden. "At the
hour Of IL (midnight), all was
quiet. In another moment
nurses and physicians found
themselves summoned to the
bedside. There had been a
collapse. Twenty-Five minutes
later all was over" Death
was caused by pulmonary en-
bolism. President Theodore
Roosevelt, notified at Oyster
Bay, Long Island, N. Y, de-
clared: "The American people
never had a greater Secretary of
State than John Hay, and his
loss is a national calamity"
In The Stars obituary article
he was described as "a great
exponent of the new diplo-
macy" and in its editorial ap-
probation he was praised as "a
safe adviser and as safe an
executive" Mr.. Hay had come
into public life originally as
secretary to Abraham Lincoln.
He shared with John G. Nico-
lay the task Of writing the
official life of the martyred
President. Later he was am
bassador to Great Britain. He
returned to Washington to
enter the cabinet of William
Mckinley, to negotiate the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty relating
to the Panama Canal and to
set up the principle Of "the
open door" in China. In the

Hope at Genevo-H

AMeIicaNS OF all creedS-indeed
peoples everywhere-have reason to heed
President Eisenhowers plea that they
pray for the success Of the Big -Four
summit" conference opening tomorrow
IN Geneva. For the meeting, although il
cannot Of itself solve the great problems
that bedevil and divide mankind, has in
1t at least the potentials of profound
and far-reaching change for the better in
the affairs Of our fear-ridden world. That
promise is certainly implicit in it, and
something bright must therefore come
Of it II only the Soviet Union-not less
than the Western powers-participate
In 1t with genuine sincerity and good
faith.
This Is very big "if," of course,
and because Of it, and because OF the
Kremlin's past record, there Is no ground
for excessive optimism But hope can
surely be justified, and the President,
for his own part, has arrived in Geneva
with considerable measure Of it in his
heart and mind. The key to his mood
can be found in his statement that pes
simism has never won any battle. And
accordingly, as he has indicated to the
Nation and the world at large, he has
gone over there with an affirmative feel
ing that the summit" meeting-beca
the pressure Of public opinion in all lands
Is pressure for peace and better living
may well be able to transform from bad
to good the spirit that has blighted inter-
national relations for the past ten years.
To that end, in concert with Premier
Faure Of France and Prime Minister Eden
OF Britain, the President has pledged that
he will do his best to inject into the
Geneva get-together the priceless ingre-
dent Of IAN honest intent to conciliate,
to understand, to be tolerant, to try to
see the other fellows viewpoint as well as
we see our own" Soviet Premier Bulganin
has voiced essentially the same sentiment,
and MIR. Eisenhower has been at pains to
declare that If that sentiment truly re-
fleets the Kremlin's real position, "then
there will be no trouble between the Rus
sian delegation and our own." On the
contrary, in that case, it is conceivable
that the meeting will succeed in taking
"the greatest step toward peace -. that

mankind"
The fulfillment of such hope may
seem to be exceedingly remote at the mo-
ment. The fear-breeding Iron Curtain,
the status Of the captive lands, the DOM
ina,,ce-seeking drive Of international
communism, the tensions of the Far East,
the evil Of Germany's partition, the dead
lock on diSarmament-a mere listing OF
these complex and dangerous issues is
enough to demonstrate why the summit"
conference can be no more than The be-
ginning of long promoting eff
fort. But it can be most significant
beginning If the Kremlin is willing to
translate It's fair words into equally fair
deeds. For If there is that willingness
which is a thing that all of us must pray
for-then the Geneva talks, as the Presi-
dent has suggested, may in fact lead to
one of the brightest turning points in the
long and troubled story of world that
can now 60 to war again only at the risk
Of literally obliterating itself.

1.-THE firmness with which
the people have withstood the
late abuses Of the press. the
discernment they have mani
tested between truth and false
hood. show that they may
safely be trusted to hear every
thing true and false, and to
form a correct judgment be-
tween them"
Eight years later and three
years after he had finished his
term as President he stated:
"The boys Of the rising gen.
Grafton are to be the men Of
the next. and the sole guar
dians Of the principles that we
deliver to them. Truth and
reason are eternal. They have
prevailed. And they will
eternally prevail, however in
times and places they may be
overborne for a while by vio-'
