CONSTANTINE BROWN
Reds Offer to Ban NucIeor Arms Tests
Called Plan for Pulling Our Teeth

Only II years later World War
II broke out.
The novel element in the
present disarmament proposals
is crystal clear to anyone save
him who likes to hide his head
in the sand. Communist des-
potism extending from the Elbe
River to the Pacific Ocean
possesses the largest land
forces in the world. Further
more, its boundaries are such
that its land forces can be
used effectively. In what is
known today as conventional
ornaments" such as tanks,
planes. and so on, the Soviet
Union is probably equal to, If
not superior in many cate
gories to, the United States.
Only in the field Of nuclear
weapons do we have any as
surance that the United States
maintains a chronological SUI
premacy. If there is a deter
rent to war, this is it.
1t will not surprise any STU
dent OF communism, therefore,
to note that the Soviet pro-
posals do not include any dis
cussion of the reduction of
ornaments in the areas where
they have supremacy. The only
objective of the present pro-
posals is to eliminate, if pos
Sible, the use of the weapon
with which the free world
presently restraints the bar
barians.

The Moscow 'blitz" for the
cessation Of nuclear weapons
tests continues undated. The
Russians are holding before
the peace-starved free world
the carrot Of peace in our
time" through n egotiated
treaties, which they are will
ing to sign and even more
ready to disregard as soon as
their sinister purpose of pull
ing our teeth" is accomplished.
In anxiety to bring back an
other agreement" raising the
hopes of the American people
that lasting peace is lust
around the corner" Harold
Stassen has rejected as I'M
timely the suggestion of real
lists in the State and Defense
Departments that the matter
of the unification of Germany
and Korea and free elections
in the satellite countries form
a part Of any understanding
with the Communists.
To solve any problem, one
must seek the cause of the
problem. The causes of war
are multiple: Fear, hate, greed,
distrust. conflict of interests,
religion, nationalism. Arma-
ment is not a cause Of war and
never was. War can never be
prevented. delayed, or elimi-
mated by disarmament. The
only way war can be elimi-
mated is by removing the de-
sire on the part Of one people
to fight with another.
1t is just as absurd to talk
about eliminating war through
disarmament as it is to at
tempt to kill an apple tree by
picking the apples. Apples are
the fruit of the tree, not the
tree itself. Armaments are the
fruit. not the cause of war.
There have been innumer-
able disarmament conferences
and agreements and not one
has ever prevented the next
conflict. In recent years war
was formally and solemnly
outlawed by the Kellogg
Treaty signed in Paris in 1928.

Protection of States From Federal Powe,
Where Legally Dubious Is Favored

unconstitutional If applied
without discrimination. But
they have been applied by local
election officials to bar Negroes
as such from the polls.
AS recently as the last cleo
ton. there were repeated and
well-supported charges that
Negro voters had been purged
from registration lists and that
intimidations were used
against potential voters by
individuals and organized
groups. 1t was this, and the
inability Of the Justice Depart
ment to protect the legal
rights Of such voters post
facto, that led TO the proposal
that it be allowed to proceed
by injunction to prevent the
denial Of constitutional guar
antees.
The proposed procedure is
not unique or new. It permits
the granting Of a temporary
restraining order Injunction
after which hearings must be
held, with the presentation Of
evidence and cross-examina-
ton Of witnesses before the
order can be made permanent.
The same procedure is used,
for instance. TO enforce anti
trust laws. II the final order is
disobeyed the violator can be
punished for contempt.
The opponents of the bill
attached, in the Senate, an
amendment providing for jury
trial instead Of contempt pro-
ceedings. Editors note. The
amendment would have au-
thorized a jury trial in a con-
tempt proceeding instead of a
trial by a Judge without a
jury Opponents of this
amendment say that in some
communities. where II would
be practically impossible TO
find a white jury free OF in
grained prejudice. the amend
ment would amount TO nulli-
fication.
The very States that are
pressing for the amendment do
not have provisions for Jury

After six days debate-al-
most q record in the House
Of Representatives-the South
has lost its effort to guarantee
jury trials to defendants ac-
cused Of denying civil rights
to citizens. especially voting
rights.
The administration, which
is sponsoring the right of the
Department Of Justice to in
woke the injunction process to
prevent denial Of constitutional
rights, will face a fiercer bat
tie in the Senate. and the
closeness of the House vote
does not indicate an easy
victory.
1t seems to me that con-
siderable confusion, for the
public at least, has arisen
over this issue. Southerners
attack the Federal Depart
ment of Justice for high
handedly assaulting the right
Of the citizen to trial by jury,
and undermining the whole
jury system. This, / think,
greatly exaggerates whatever
danger may exist.
The right Of every citizen TO
vote is clearly established by
the Fifteenth Amendment to
the Federal Constitution and
the protection Of that right is
encumbent upon the author
tiles Of the States. This is not
nearly so controversial an issue,
legally and constitutionally, as
the school desegregation ques-
ton. The Fifteenth Amend
ment. passed over 80 years ago,
says unequivocally:
THE right Of citizens Of the
United States TO vote shall not
be denied or abridged by the
United States or by any State
on account OF race, color, or
previous condition OF servi-
tude."
In parts Of the South. this
right has been, and is. notori-
ously abridged, not by State
laws but by public practices.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Now that the Supreme
Court has transformed itself
into what is being termed
another legislative body" a
movement has started to bring
about the election Of the high
court justices by the people.
1t would require a constitu-
tional amendment.
The idea. of course, is not
novel. This happens to be
the custom in the several
States with few exceptions.
Thirty-six States elect their
highest court judges at the
polls, four States elect their
top judges by vote of the
State Legislatures, and only
eight States follow the Federal
custom of appointment by the
Executive with the consent of
the Legislature.
since the Supreme Court
OF the United States has set
itself UP as having the right
to tell Congress how to run
its committees and the exec
utive departments that they
must retain employees they
don't like, the question of how
the Supreme Court, itself,
shall be held accountable for
its acts has arisen. This has
happened several times be-
fore in American history.
The late President Franklin
d. Roosevelt thought the an
swer to an arbitrary or capri
cious court was to increase the
number of justices so he could
appoint those who would de-
eide cases as he thought they
should be decided. This scheme
was called "court-packing." 1t
required legislation and was
frowned on by Congress in
1887. Former President Theo-
dore Roosevelt, as a candidate
for the presidency in 1912.
urged that there be a system of
recall Of judicial decision" SO
the people, by referendum,
could affirm or reverse deci-
sions. especially in State
courts.
Today the Supreme Court
OF the United States has rem
dered so many conflicting
and confusing decisions that
many lawyers throughout the
country are perplexed and
bewildered. The issue was sue
cinctly stated by q member

Movement Reported Begun to Make
Jurists Subject to Ballot. as in States

Of the Supreme Court itself,
the late Justice Robert H.
Jackson. who, in the course of
an opinion in 1858, wrote:
Rightly or wrongly; the be-
lief is widely held by the prac-
ticing profession that this
court no longer respects i'm
personal rules of law, but is
guided in these matters by per-
sonal impressions which from
time to time may be shared
by a majority of justices.
Whatever has been intended,
this court also has generated
an impression that regard
for presidents and authorities
is obsolete. that words no
longer mean what they have
always meant to the profess
sion. that the law knows no
fixed principles"
For the last 20 years many
of the professors of law in the
university law schools, par
ticularly in the East, have
raised a whole generation of
So-called liberals" who be-
lieve the Supreme Court
should make policy" and that
to adhere to historic principles
is out of keeping with the
spirit of the times. This is the
type of thinking which has
bred throughout the country a
feeling that the court pays
more attention to sociology
or political science or ideolog-
ical considerations nowadays
than it does to fundamental
Interpretation of the Constitu-
ton and to the enduring prin-
ciples of Jurisprudence.
If. therefore, the Supreme
Court is to make policies" to
whom should it be responsible?
1t now places itself above both
the Congress and the Execu-
tive, which are themselves ac-
countable to the people. The
justices. however, are account
able to no one but themselves.
Such an autocracy was never
envisioned by the founding
fathers when they authorized
life tenure for justices. The
several States have wisely
written into their constitu-
tons that judges must go be-
fore the people-sometimes
after six-year and sometimes
after twelve or fourteen year
