Poor Dave Beck Gets Sympathy

eral years much stress has
been laid on the fact that a
man is innocent until proved
guilty" in a court of law. This
is supposed to be American
fair play. Often the rule is
quoted--it's as old as any of
the principles Of Anglo-Saxon
jurisprudence. But without
waiting to give Mr.. Beck his
day in court. where witnesses
can be cross-examined. the
teamster chief has been con-
demned by his fellow union
leaders as well as by many
of the reading public.
What has suddenly hap
pened, therefore. to the sacred
principles of justice that are
so emphatically proclaimed
when there's a Communist
sympathizer involved? Why is
no such mercy shown a mere
union leader who happens to
have gotten into q mixup on
the handling of the funds of
his own union? He says even
now that the union won't lose
anything in the end. Maybe
he should have spent it all for
political contributions" and
then nothing more would have
been heard about it.
Certainly Dave Beck was in
discreet. He was more than
that-he used poor Judgment
in espousing the cause Of per-
sonal materialism when he
might better have championed
"dialectc materialism." What
glory might have been his if
he had then taken the Fifth
Amendment He might even
have been helped by some big
charitable foundation, with
law school professors conduct
ing a research on his case.
Maybe some civil Liberties"
organization would be rallying
to his side in a defense Of the
Fifth Amendment. AS Ralph
Waldo Emerson once wrote:
"A foolish consistency is the
hobgoblin Of little minds.
sdored by little statesmen and
philosophers and divines."

The decision of the British
government to cut to the bone
its military establishments is
regarded in responsible quar-
tiers in Washington as the
most important Development
insofar as this try is
concerned-since the end Of
the war.
Despite the mild official re-
action of the administration,
the consensus of those in re-
sponsible positions is that our
British friends have pulled the
rug from under us in regard
to the effective defense of
Western Europe.
1t is expected that other
European countries, which in
the past have taken their cue
from Britain, will follow Lon
don's decision in the near flu
ture. They will not abandon
NATO. But because of their
need to capture markets which
are now rapidly going to West
ern Germany and Japan they
will concentrate on trade and
consumers goods production.
Our German and Japanese
allies are doing a roaring bust
ness. Their factories, smashed
during the war. have been re-
habilitated with the most
modern tooling. Neither coun-
try is rearming. They have
barely a military constabulary.
Because their budgets are not
burdened with heavy military
expenditures they have a
privileged economic posture.
Britain had to yield its posi-
ton as the foremost shipbuild-
ing country to the Japanese.
The Germans are now the most
important industrial country
on the basis of actual cash
sales. While America still ex-
GELS them all, we are giving
away much of our production
in accordance with our man
fold foreign aid and Point
Four programs.
The Germans are selling for
