fulfill. But the facts Of his
tory show that he did every
thing humanity possible to
keep America out of war and
that circumstances beyond the
control of any man in this
country forced the United
States into the conflict. 1t was
the German attack on Ameri-
can ships on the high seas
which brought the climax.
"It is q fearful thing" said
Wilson to Congress on the
night Of April 2. 1917. ito lead
this great peaceful people into
war, into the most terrible and
disastrous of all wars, civiliza-
ton itself seeming to be in the
balance. But the right is more
precious than peace. and we
shall fight for the things which
we have always carried near
est to our hearts-for democ-
racy, for the right of those who
submit to authority to have a
voice in their own govern
ments, for the rights and lib
critics of small nations. for a
universal dominion of right by
such a concert of free peoples
as shall bring peace and safety
to all nations and make the
world at last free"
There comes a time. in other
words, when all the efforts to
maintain peace are fruitless,
and war becomes inevitable.
President Eisenhower is en-
deavoring by moral force-by
public discussion and appeals
10 the conscience of peoples
everywhere-to seek peaceful
solutions. Every day there are
evidences that world opinion
is making itself felt.
So in this Thanksgiving
week. the peoples everywhere
can be grateful that at the
head of the United States
Government is a man who
sees clearly that moral force
must supersede anger and pas
sion and that hope must be
placed in the ability Of free
men to assert their concerted
will in each country so as to
compel autocratic governments
to give way to free govern
ments.

The Foreign Relations Vacancy

that although Delaware is
the second smallest State in
the Union. both Of its Senators
Democrat Allen Frear and
Republican John Williams
are members. Delaware is pow
crful businesswise through the
DUPONT interests and others.
The committee which costs
Democrats the most votes,
however. is Senate Judiciary
with James o. Eastland of
Mississippi. an unabashed anti
segregationist. as chairman.
EaStland lost them the Negro
vote coming in the South and
going in the North.
To help take that curse of,
it seems probable that another
rising star, the new Senator
from Pennsylvania-Joseph S.
Clark-will go on Judiciary,
replacing Price Daniel who has
been elected Governor Of
Texas.
This committee will be
watched on the Republican
side as an indication Of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's real zeal
for remaking the Republican
Party. With the defeat of
Senator Herman Welker Of
Idaho, reaction lost a judiciary
seat on the Republican side.
A Republican truly devoted
to what Eisenhower describes
as his brand of moderate Re-
publicanism can do much to
enact civil rights legislation,
protect the courts and gener-
ally tip a committee balance
unfavorable to anything left
of Mckinley.
Senator ELECT John Carroll
OF Colorado is headed for Sen
ate Agriculture; Senator-elect
Frank Church Of Idaho for
Interior and Insular Affairs.

austere economy which is en-
forced in all strata Of society.
This is no hardship: the Chi
nese people have been accus-
toned to an austere life for
centuries. The only difference
between now and then is that
it is now shared by everybody.
In order to save foreign ex-
change the government has
forbidden the import Of lux
uries-Coca-Cola is a mong
such items. The Chinese are
great gourmets. Among the
cherished delicacies are shark
fms and bird nest soups. There
are no edible sharks in these
waters and no swallow nests in
Taiwan. Hence, nobody, from
Generalissimo Chang Kali
shek down, can enjoy a real
feast. The inventive Chinese
cooks have met this CASTRO
nomic crisis by supplanting
shark fms with fish bowels.
These are quite tasty until the
unaware foreigner is told what
he has been served. AS a rule
he does not repeat the order.
Men at the highest govern
ment level, such as the prime
minister and foreign minister,
are paid between 800 and
1000 Taiwan dollars a month.
This represents slightly more
than 40 American dollars. In
addition. they are provided
with a house, q car with a
chauffeur and a few staples,
such as rice. Neither they nor
other high-ranking officials
have any allowance for enter
tanning. Whenever duty de-

sent to the appropriate au-

cation on interstate buses that
grew out Of the Montgomery
(Ala.) bus boycott by Negroes.
Mr.. Brownell's promptness
in the bus segregation matter
was noted here as a sign that
the Attorney General, one Of
the shrewdest political opera
tors in his party, has been
reading the election returns
from the South. Heretofore,
he has gone through the mo-
tons on civil rights matters,
but not with the celebrity Of
action or the force Of language
with which he capitalized on
the latest chapter in the. seq
regation story. Previously, he
seemed to take his cue from
the purposely vague and def
nitely conciliatory attitude Of
President Eisenhower.
Republicans are aware Of
one danger in exploiting Negro
disaffection from the Demo-
cratic Party in the South. II
the Negro vote there should
become too solidly identified
with the Republican Party to
create what is known as "block
voting that would ALLEVIATE
white voters which the @. O.P.
must attract to carry South
ern States. as the Negroes do
not cast a sufficient vote TO
carry any State themselves.
II the Republican Party Is
to become q potent influence
in the South. and II there is
70 be an effective two-party
system there, 1t still win be
necessary for Republicans to
build from the bottom by run
ming candidates FOR local and
State ofices and for Congress
in every congressional district.
Without that. however. as
Democrats now are beginning
to realize. the Republicans
might pull out victories IN
some Southern States in pres
idential elections every four
years. That would be possible
by a combination Of Negroes
and white conservatives Who
are numerous in the South and
now seem willing 70 vote their
Republican convictions.

The American people have

they are not engaged in armed
conflict anywhere.

to ignore the passions Of an

Many persons in this country,
however, when asked whether
they would favor the use Of
American military force, and

with Soviet Russia, immedi-
ately concede this would not
be desirable and would not
meet with widespread ap-

FIorido's Holland May Oppose Kennedy
For Seat of Retiring Senator Georqe

Senator George leaves va
cant a second plum-mem-
bership on the Senate Finance
Committee. Here johnson is
caught between the ultra
conservative chairman, Harry
F. Byrd Of Virginia, and
liberals who are demanding a
greater voice in the economic
and tax policies of their party.
BY a kind of tacit consent,
the ruling conservative coali-
ton of Midwest Republicans
and Southern Democrats have
co-operated to see that Finance
remains above any partisan
battle and in what to them is
safe hands.
In recent practice 1t has
made very little difference
which party controls the SEN
ate. The Finance Committee
does not rock the boat and
the differences between Chair
man George or his successor,
Chairman Byrd, both Demo-
Gratis. and Chairman Eugene
Millikin Republican,, who is
now retiring. never were
obvious to the microscopic
eye.
After a long wait, Senator
Paul H. Douglas Of Illinois, a
liberal economist, could not be
denied Finance. Senator Rob-
ert S. Kerr, from the middle
ground, made it, too. The lib
eral Democratic candidate for
the George vacancy is Senator
John o. Pastore of Rhode
Island.

doomed to failure. The friends

happens that Dulles is getting
stronger every day and is in

With the apparently certain
prospect that attention will re-
main concentrated on foreign
affairs for many months. the
dueling has begun for the SEN
ate Foreign Relations Commit
tee seat about to be vacated
by Senator Walter F. George.
Senator John F. Kennedy
of Massachusetts,, the conspic-
uously bright young man Of
the Democratic Party, wants
1t. Senate Majority Leader
Lyndon B. johnson, who likes
to put rising stars under OBJ
legations to johnson before
they rise too far, wants to give
1t to him.
But it also has occurred to
Senator SpesSard L. Holland
of Florida, who comes up for
reelection in 1858, that a For
eign Relations seat would be
an excellent way to get ones
name in the press more often.
Holland has seniority and can
not be denied if he persists.
An effort is being made to
suggest to Senator Holland
that his many rural constitu-
entS care considerably less
about foreign affairs than
about what the Agriculture
Committee, where Holland
now is. may do for them. The
impression is conveyed that
he cannot have both.
He is further urged to re-
member that his conservative
influence on Agriculture is
needed TO hold such radicals
within bounds as Senator
Hubert H. Humphrey of
Minnesota, and others.

their best chance ever to break

and start to build a two-party
system there. For this they are
quietly laying plans. but with
special care not to press too
hard and everyday their hand.
Their opportunity was re-
vealed in what was perhaps
the biggest surprise of the re-
cent national election. the

wholesale switch OF Negroes to
