Soviet Newsprint

MEXICO CITY, Jan. rs P).-
Russia has offered newsprint to
Mexican newspapers. 1t was the
iSoviet's first gesture to Mexico
since Moscow's recent announce
Iment that it wanted to help
Latin American nations.
! Although Mexican newspapers
badly need newsprint, the offer
met little response. The news

DAVID LAWRENCE
Case for Parliamentary System

cause nobody could tell Just
when he should cease his
temporary duties and give the
Office back to the President
who had been i'll.
1t has also been suggested
that. if any President refused
voluntarily to leave his Office
when Ill or mentally inca
pacitated. he could be removed
by impeachment. But the
Constitution limits the power
of Impeachment to "convic-
ton of treason. bribery, or
high crimes and misdemean-
ors." There is no clause in
the Constitution at present
implying even remotely that
a President with integrity
could be removed by Congress.
An amendment to the Con-
stitution which eliminates the
word impeachment" has long
been overdue. The power to
remove" a President could be
vested in the Congress, with a
two-thirds vote required for
that purpose. Along with this
would have to go a provision to
remove the Congress itself II a
disagreement arises and to re-
quire a general election. as
often happens under the par
liamentary system.
Clearly under the existing
Constitution. the American
people could have a disabled
President, a sick President and
even a derarged President,
and they couldn't do anything
about it.
Similarly, if a President has
outlived his usefulness or no
longer represents the will of
the country. and the people
want an immediate transfer of
power to a new party, the par
liamentary system provides
that opportunity. This change
certainly would do away with
the dangerous interregnum
that occurs when a President
or his party may be defeated
in November of a presidential
election year and neither he
nor the new Congress can take
Office till January. Two months
is a long. long time in an
atomic age.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Suggested Chou Dulles Chot Put Down
AS Another Red Propaganda Move

The Chinese Reds have made
their most recent contribution
to world peace by telling the
world that only United States
obstructionism is preventing a
peaceful solution Of problems in
Asia. particularly the smolder-
ing Formosa question.
Everything could be solved.
Chou En-lai's representative
in Geneva suggests. If only

envoy, Mr.. Wang Ping-nan.

1t would be an injustice to

If We were to take these pro-
posals seriously. Red China
obviously does not expect them
to be accepted. in whole or in
part. The readily apparent
motivation behind this bizarre
performance is simply the fur

With the contention that
Formosa is a part of China

Complaints From the Soviets

the kind of tension which com
municates itself even when Of
flcials are talking discreetly
seems to be absent.
Experienced members Of
Congress are unhappy over
what they fear is undue COM
placency on Defense Secre-
tary Wilson's part. They are
probing but they have not yet
pierced his management Of
the military setup. Gen. Ridg-
way. retired Army Chief Of
Staff, has supported their
pessimism in his memoirs
without giving them the con-
crete material they need to
make case convincing to the
public.
Despite all the converse
tons, there has been no sub
stantive progress either on
disarmament or atoms for
peace. Stalemates of this
kind are not compatible with
the American temper, but OF
course are better than war,
hot or cold.
To many Democrats it seems
that Eisenhower is Just plain
luckier than Roosevelt and
Truman were. They specu-
late sometimes on whether he
thinks so too. and whether
it enters into his thinking
about another four years in
the White House. AS politi-
clans though. they don't dis
miss regulations for being
lucky or for having the magic
touch as political assets.

Illinois Senator'S Performance
In Fighting Cos Bill Stands Out

Senators to stand duty" and
attend to make it look good
from the galleries.
The farce gives itself away.
Too slick was his careful ar
rangement of full debate"
which, he decreed, should be
courtly and courteous - lot
angry like Southerners debat-
ing segregation --- so that he
could avoid a public split in
the party over this measure.
AS you know, it is being
pushed by a few big oil COM
panies which own most OF the
natural gas reserves and which
will enjoy a "markup" of
many billions in the value of
those reserves by price in
creases which are expected if
the bill becomes law.
Most of this week the bare
Senate stage has been DOM
mated by a big, standing
gentleman who, day after day,
ploughed through his exhaust
i've speech against the measure.
For a time one day he stood
alone. talking to an empty
chamber and the lone presid-
ing officer. He is the hero of
this Senate saga---in all other
respects so shoddy perform
ance. He Is Paul Douglas, a
Democrat from Illinois who is
daring to challenge the TEXAS
party leadership and several
billion dollars. For the millions
Of words he has talked into
the record, for all the statistics
he has inserted, he really said
it all in one sentence:
THE issue before us is
whether the interests OF wealth
and power are to run the Gov
eminent. or whether our Gov
eminent is to be run in the in
terests of the public"
That is the issue. How right
he is! II is dramatized in the
SIS million big oil men raised
among themselves and spent
on their lobby, the results
of which you have seen in
advertisements in newspapers
and magazines. and which we
have seen here in the high

adopted. It's one Australia and
New Zealand and South Africa,
as well as Great Britain, have
adopted. 1t is known as the
parliamentary system, which
grants to the peoples elected
representatives the right at any
time to remove their chief
executive and elect another
person in his place.
The question of whether a
simple majority should be
enough, as it is in many coun-
tries. or whether it should be
by a two-thirds vote might be
debated. But the system is
flexible because, if the head of
the government becomes i'll. he
can step down voluntarily or
be retired from Office, and yet
he can come back to his post
later if he RECEIVERS his health.

majority of the national legis-
lature desires him to do so.
There have been many OBJ
jections on the part of people
in this country to the adop-
ton of the parliamentary
system which works so well
in Canada. but it cannot be
denied that it provides a
fiexibility which the Consti-
tuition of this country does
not furnish.
Why. moreover. under the
present system. should any APP
pointed or elected officer or
committee of Congress decide
whether a President is too i'll
to serve? Why should such
authority be delegated to any
group of physicians? Only the
peoples elected representatives
should have that power, and
this means the Congress.
1t has been suggested that
in most instances a President
would voluntarily resign any

But if he hoped to recover
some day. why should he even
for a little while give up his
post if he can't get it back?
