A Piscatorial Senatorial Odor

IICE-President-ele Lyndon B. John
son pulled a surprise in Washington
recently when he was given the right
to preside over meetings of Democratic
Senator'S. This has not been the custom
in the past, although some say that
Alben Barley, when he was Vice-Presi-
dent, had what amounted to similar
prerogative
By good vote, as most of the john
son victories in the Senator in the last
eight years have been won, of 46-17 and
1918, Johnson was given the right to
preside at the meetings - if the new
Senate Majority Leader, Mike Mans
field (D.-Montana) invited him to do so.
Since Johnson tapped Mansfield for
the job of Majority Leader, and since
Mansfield was considered johnson
protege, it is highly likely that Mans
field will ask Johnson to preside at
meetings of Democratic Senators in the
future.
The Importance of this latest ma
neuver by the Vic -Pres dent is
that it widens his influence in the new
Administration. AS Vice-President, Lyn-
don johnson would have voted only to
break ties in the Senate, and would not
have played major role in shaping
Democratic strategy in the Senate,
under a role similar to that which has
been exercised by Vive-President Nixon
for the past eight years.
Now, however, a representative of
the Executive Branch of government
will be actively participating in Senate
Democratic caucuSeS. Even some Demo-

cratic Senators objected to this, on the
principle that member of the Execu-
tive Branch of government should not
be acting in a legislative capacity also.
Most Democrats, however, obviously
believed that the proposal would give
the Vice-President more realistic re-
sponsibility, and job, and that it would
not conflict with the theory of separa-
ton among the three branches of gov
eminent.
Whatever the opinion of the new
delegation of authority to Vice-Presi-
dent johnson it must be agreed
that this is something of historical de-
parture from the past, and that it opens
up new and larger role for the Vice
President. In the opinion of many scho-
lars of the Constitution, the Vice Presi-
dent has had a surprisingly ineffective
voice in Washington affairs, over the
centuries, and this is step in the op-
posite direction.

Half Slave Half Free

DEAN MANION SAYS if there
had been a true conservative on
the ballot in 1860 he would have
been overwhelmingly elected.
Taking the dean as conserva-
tism's epitome, a better way to
put it is that Nixon would have
won like that if he and the dean
and the South had all been will
ing to make sacrifices for each
other. Nixon would have had to
sacrifice Rockefeller for the dean
and the NAACP for the South.
The dean would have had to sac
rifice his idea that the extreme
right without Nixonites can or
should ever win an election. And
the South would have had to
sacrifice its political slavery on
the one hand and its fateful L.
fusion on the other that it can
ever elect a segregationist.
The winning hand IN this nation
now doesn't belong to conserva-
tives. It belongs to the Coalition
ict of Constitutionalists.

Pressure Tactics

counsel discreteness in thought and
word in the days ahead and not fall,
into the slough which would lead to
misfortune to the people of this COM
munity.
The pattern resembles that which has
resulted in difficulties in so many
places, which, it appears, is the purpose
of some forces at work in the South.
Scars are left which are slow to heal.
Let the courts decide Prince Edwards
situation. This problem has been before
the courts for almost nine years. Is it
not proper that the courts should de-
eide finally upon the question raised
by the NAACP, rather than by tensions
produced among our people?
In the meantime there are friends of
long standing ready to assist the Negro
people to provide educational oppor-
tunities for their children in their own
private schools. Conditions at the train
ing centers' SO avidly pictured in north
ern newspapers are of the choosing of
these who, willingly or not, have refused
to accept aid from their own neighbours
May we counsel more wisdom than
emotion; discretion in thought and
words; to the end that we, the people,
of Prince Edward County, will not be
used as pawns in our own destruction.

are wages. Economics is vicious circle.
When wages are increased the increase
is reflected in higher prices. Incidently,
prices would be even higher but for
competition. Only by increased product

costs be held in check or reduced Com
