BY a circuitous route she

Time for This

In approving an arbitration pro-
cedure for settling inter-union disputes,
the AFL-CIO has taken a self-Serving
step that should also be welcomed out
side the labor movement. For the record
of labor management relations contains
far too many incidents Of industry, and
the public welfare, becoming helpless
victims of inter-union Squabbles result
ing in work stoppages, boycotts and
other forms of damaging curbs upon
operations.
For labor itself the potential value
is obvious. Basically, it was this very
type of dispute that split the movement
a quarter of century ago and led to
the long factional warfare between the
ALL and the new CLIO. Even since their
merger few years ago, there has been
a continuing record of jurisdictional
disputes and inter-union raiding-with
the same kind of unfortunate effect in
many cases upon industry.
The new formula provides that
panel of prominent and well-qualified
persons" will be set up to arbitrate dis
puteS which are not settled voluntarily
by the unions involved. The arbitration
rulings will be binding and special
convention of the Federation is to be
called to confirm the plan when 1t is
completed in detail. There should be no
question about its approval and its ap-
plication when the machinery is set up.

A Bow to Mrs. K

If she does not know 1t already,
Mrs. Nina Petrovna KhruShchev, now
that she has returned to her home in
Moscow, ought to be told that she has
made very big hit with the American
people. AS wife, mother and grand
mother, she has deeply impressed all Of
us with her graciouSness, her friendly
spirit, her good humor, her pleasant
composure under sometimes trying cir
cumstances, and the unfailing kindli-
ness and warmth of personality she has
displayed throughout her visit to our
country
Certainly, in terms Of promoting
understanding and good will between
the United States and the USSR, the
Soviet First Lady has put on virtually
fiawleSS personal performance during
her travels among us. In that sense,
she has suddenly emerged as Premier
Khrushchev's secret weapon in the field
of international public relations. In
deed, the mere fact that he has had
such a fine helpmeet for the past IS
years (they were married in 1924 Sug-
gestS that he must be, in private life,
an amiable and devoted family man.
In any case, as far as Mrs. Khru-
shchev herself is concerned, she can be
sure that she has won the respect and
admiration of Americans from coast to
coast and that she has done exception
ally well in fostering better relations
between her country and ours. We hope
that those relations will steadily improve
no matter how slowly-and that she
will find the time in the future to make
another visit and give us the pleasure
of her company once again.

Our Troubled World

The basic truth from which
the most successful interna-
tional policy will stem is that
the human beings of all ma
lions are physically, mental
ly and morally equal. and
equally deserving.
Thus, international hate is
invalid. Armaments are IRA
tional. Immigration-emigra-
ton restrictions and tariffs
are unjust. Persistent inter-
national good will and CO.
operation only are sensible.
So long as human life
exists there will be changing
problems in group relation
ships. But, if a human collec-
tive "a nation) adopts the
policy of recognizing the abb
solute equality Of other peo-
pies, having no special friends
or foes, expressing good will
for all equally. experiencing
injury without retaliation,
acting always constructively
rather than drifting to de-
structive practices or revenge,
1t will experience the mini
mum Illustration of the des-
tiny it seeks, century after
century.

DISPUTED Book

Democracy Versus Commu-
nism," complaining that the
book was controversial.
The book, which is the only
textbook on the subject. COM
pares factually the two sys-
TENS and. of course, 1t is con-
troversial to those who favor
the Soviet system. The book
has been approved by author
tiles in the school systems OF
Cleveland, New York City and
Boston, and is on the reading
lists sent out by the Citizen
ship Education Division of the
State Department Of Educa-
ton of New York State. The
book is in use in schools in
more than half the States of
the Union including Roosevelt
High School in Honolulu. The
Defense Department has
taken ten chapters of the
book and made them into
pamphlets. ordering over
1,4O0,000 for use in their
training courses.
Why anyone who believes
in the American system

beyond my comprehension.

The West Speaks Up

A new and potentially influential
force in Democratic Party politics has
emerged from the Western Governors
Conference, Just concluded at Idaho's
Sun Valley resort. On invitation Of Cali
fornia'S Governor Pat Brown, already
showing promise of becoming a formi-
dable figure in the partys national
councils, Ave of the Rocky Mountain
West Coast Democratic governors joined
for the avowed purpose Of establishing
a common front on issues, and eventu-
ally on candidates, for the party's presi-
dental campaign next year.
In this instance, California was
Joined by Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico
and Washington. Significantly, how
ever, the group announced that 1t would
meet again at party conference in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, in mid
November and would broaden its ranks
by inviting the governors of Texas,
Oklahoma, South Dakota, Nebraska and
Iowa.
Avoiding for the moment any COM
nitment to possible nominees on the
presidential ticket, the Sun Valley con-
fereeS emphasized that their first intent
is to further Western interests on such
issues as reclamation, development of
natural resources, housing, aid to edu-
cation and economic policies. BY impli-
cation, at least, they made 1t clear they
will seek to have the Western view in
cluded in the party platform-and that
they will measure their choice of cam
didates against these regional interests.
While it is not unusual for regional
groupings to emerge in national con-
ventionS, 1t is a matter of record that
the powerful blocS in the Democratic
Party heretofore have been those Of
the South and of the industrial North.
While there has been consideration for
Far Western interests in the party plat
forms, the Democrats have not matched
the Republican practice Of reaching to
the Pacific Coast for nominee to either
Of the top places on their national
ticket. Four times since 1910 the
G. o. p has turned to that area for
a vice presidential nominee-in the
persons of Senator McNary of Oregon,
Governor Warren Of California and Mr..
Nixon, also of California.
With the West Coast States growing
rapidly in population and in industry,
and with the strong figure Of Governor
Brown available to keynote their drive,
the new bloc is making its push at
a favorable time. It is quite likely
that the party's national headquarters
has been tuned in attentively to the
proceedings at Sun Valley.

The trouble with the pro-

Senator Humphrey, for ex-

that bill. Stevenson actually
would not. He is far more
conservative than Mr.. Hum
