War Crimes
THE U. S. chief counsel in the prosecution of
Axis war criminals, Supreme Court Justice
Robert H. Jackson, left a day or so ago for
London.
Jackson's task and that of other members of
the War Crimes Commission is to lay the ground-
work for the trials of war criminals. This
groundwork includes only listing the accused and
compiling evidence.'
According to the current Time, the basis
for judging the accused, who may number
between four and six millions, has been widen-
ed to comprise those who enacted, controlled,
or shared in policies leading to planned under-
nourishment, concentration camps and slave
labor. Lord Wright, chairman, included Nazi
diplomats, financiers and business men as
well.
The program suggested by the American rep-
resentatives is moderately fair. International
courts representing all the victorious powers are
to deal with criminals of Goering's calibre.
Blanket judging and punishment of criminal
organizations will be by the same court. Former
occupied nations are to try those who committed
crimes against their people and the power oc-
cupying the district will try the staffs of con-
centration camps.
The program is fair, too fair, many claim, as
they clamor for more stringent punishment.
These are unusual people, separate and some-
how psychologically different from us. Their
crimes are so inhumane that they call for in-
humane treatmept in return.
But, as Robert M. Hutchins, President of
the Universit'y of Chicago, said in his speech
on V-E Day, "We cannot support the thesis
that because German leaders acted illegally
they should therefore be treated illegally. Two
wrongs do not make a right .
If we do not intend to rule the Germans as
slaves by military force till the end of time, we
must treat them with justice and, if possible,
with mercy. Otherwise we lay here and now
the foundations of the next war.
"The wildest atrocity stories cannot alter
the simple truths that all men are human,
that no men are beasts . . . Let us remember
that vengeance is the Lord's."

By DREW PEARSON
WASHINGTON-In picking Tom Clark as his
new attorney general, President Truman fol-
lowed his old yen for exposing war frauds.
Clark, astute, crusading former head of the
justice department's war frauds unit, has a not-
able record, had prosecuted some of the cases
which the Truman committee first exposed.,
Also he originated many cases of his own.
Clark prosecuted the Anaconda Copper Com-
pany three times for manufacturing faulty wire
for the armed forces; also moved against the
Durham Manufacturing Company of Ft. Wayne,
Ind., for covering up cracked shell bases made
for the Navy; also convicted one company in
Truman's home town, Kansas City, the Baker
and Lockwood Company, for war frauds against
the air forces.
Clark has served as assistant attorney gen-
eral in charge of anti-trust, succeeding trust-
busting Truman Arnold, and later as assist-
ant attorney general in charge of the criminal
division . . . If the big city bosses who put
Truman across at Chicago are looking for some-
one to pull their chestnuts out of the fire in
the Justice Department, they may have a hard
time with young Clark. He once indicted one
of the men who nominated Roosevelt at Chicago
in 1932, ex-Governor James Curley of Boston,
now a congressman.
Clark faces sonie interesting and important
city boss cases almost immediately. One is the
case of Mayor Kelley's friend Bill Johnson,
the big gambling boss of Chicago, who has
been convicted but is still out on appeal.
Another is -whether to prosecute further ex-
Governor Leche of Louisiana, who faces parole
soon ,but has three other indictments standing
aginst him . . . Another is the case of
Freeman Burford from Clark's home town of
Dallas, still facing a criminal indictment in
connection with hot oil and bribing Governor
Leche of Louisiana . . . Tom Clark was sold
to Truman chiefly by Bob Hannegan and
Speaker Sam Rayburn of Texas, both his very
close friends.'
New Agriculture Secretary .. .
NEW MEXICO'S Clinton P. Andersor, new Sec-
retary of Agriculture, is one of the newest
members of Congress and one who has made a
notable record in a very short time . . . And-
erson is an Albuquerque insurance man who
voted against the insurance companies consist-
ently with legislation aimed to exempt insur-
ance companies from the Sherman anti-trust
.laws was before Congress . . . He is one of
the toughest, most liberal members of Con-
gress, has an A-1 standing with his colleagues,
and was given the two important jobs of in-
vestigating food and also probing campaign ex-
penditures last year . . . In the latter job he
did his best to expose wealthy flag-waving groups
which tried to get around income taxes by mak-
ing political contributions in the guise of educa-
tional gifts.
Though -a successful businessman, Ander-
son has been a consistent battler for labor
.One remarkable speech got absolutely
no publicity shortly after Pearl Harbor when
he accused big business of a carefully planned
conspiracy to crack down on labor to divert
public attention from huge war profiteering,
refusal by business to convert to war pro-
duction and the operations of dollar-a-year
men in the War Production Board . . . And-
erson especially blasted Arthur Bunker of
Lehman Brothers for operating inside the
WPB to hold up a government magnesium
plant because it would compete with the Dow
Chemical Company.
New Labor Secretary. .
NEW LABOR Secretary Lew Schwellenbach
was one of the so-called young Turks during
the days of the Roosevelt administration. Along
with Senator Sherman Minton of Indiana there
was almost no job too liberal or too politically
dangerous for Schwellenbach to tackle. He was
especially vigorous in supporting Roosevelt in his
Supreme Court battle at which time he also had
the support of Senator Truman . . . The
Washington senator also served with Senator
Hugo Black (now Justice Black) in his lobbying
investigation which eventually sent Howard Hop-
son of Associated Gas to jail . . . Schwellen-
bach's appointment to the cabinet will bring no
joy to Seattle Collector of Customs Saul Haas,
formerly Schwellenbach's campaign manager,
'Human Rights'
SECRETARY OF STATE Stettinius proposed
last Tuesday at the San Francisco Confer-
ence that a "Commission on Human Rights" be
established to draft an international bill of
rights which would be accepted by all nations.
The proposed international bill of rights is
different from that of our national constitution
in one way. Our constitutional bill of rights
applies only to the national government. Stet-
tinius' international bill of rights would be
adopted by the member nations of the world
organization as "an integral part of their sys-
tems of law."
The San Francisco Conference, by Big Four
agreement, is not to attempt the drawing up
of any bill of rights. This will come later, if
Stettinius' proposal is accepted, as a function
of a commissio nunder the Economic and So-
cial Council. The sooner this is done, and
the Bill of Rights accepted by all member
nations, the better it will be for the advance-
ment of a secure world organization.
-Frances Paine
who turned against him. It was partly because
Haas vowed to defeat Schwellenbach for re-
election, and because the Democratic party in
Washington state would have been split wide
open that Lew retired from the Senate to the
federal bench,
Schwellenbach's most notable Senate
achievement was breaking a filibuster by the
late Ruey Long. In those days almost no one
dared brave the Kingfish's vitriolic tongue.
He had veteran Senate leaders completely
cowed by threatening to enter their states to
defeat them. Once when Long was staging
one of his filibusters and other Senate leaders
had thrown up their hands in despair, Schwel-
lenbach took command of the fight, forced
Huey to stay on his feet for 14 hours and
finally drove him from the floor . . . Schwel-
lenbach was proposed for the labor post by
Dave Beck of the Teamster's Union. Orig-
inally, the AFL wanted Dan Tobin to get the
job, but the CIO opposed. Therefore, the
AFL, fearing a CIO candidate might be ap-
pointed, withdrew Tobin's name, and got
behind Schwellenbach.

I'D RATHER BE RIGHT:
Eastern European
By SAMUEL GRAFTON
THE ORGANIZATION OF EUROPE: 1. The
eastern regions of Europe will be organized
and functioning, long before the western areas.
This, it seems to me, is one of the key political
facts of the current transition period. What-
ever we may think of brusque Soviet methods,
it remains true that these methods will set up
eastern Europe as a going concern in a rela-
tively short space of time. It is precisely what
we think of as the most backward sections of
Europe, the Balkans, Poland, etc., which will be
operating the soonest.
2. The Soviets obviously hope to have east-
ern Europe in order, while the west is still
debating policy. What was a theory yesterday,
is today a condition, and will tomorrow be
an old fact. It is hard for us to learn to think
of the jumble of eastern Europe as a region
which will from now on speak in world affairs
with a single voice, and yet that is the way we
must begin to think of it.
If HE ONLY point I am making here, disregard-
ing the rights and wrongs of it, is that it is
happening; that the question of unity in eastern
Europe, which the world has debated for so
many hundreds of years, has been resolved,
though amid astonishment and dismay. The
west can carry on a great debate with Russia,
in terms of morality and the rights of small
nations to independence, but Russia can al-
ways shift the ground of the debate to her suf-
ferings in the war, her right to security, and so
on. This makes the debate an unending one.
Meanwhile Russia organizes.
3. She i moving fast. It is characteristic
that she has already organized the purchase of
food from the farmers of eastern Germany, and
has set rations for Berlin and other German
cities at levels higher than obtained under the
Nazis. She is paying little attention to the
former politics of small people, and while she
talks punishment, she is actually concentrating
on organization. Berlin, described a week ago as
"forever ruined," is now reported to have 500
food stores functioning, 22 movie houses, 10
music halls, etc.
We face an odd prospect, for Russia's great
power will make eastern Europe, traditionally
unstable, the most stable portion of the con-
tinent; while western Europe may, in its
confusion, lack of organization and cross-
purposes, become the new Balkans.
rJHE FACT that eastern Europe will be organ-
. ized, however crudely, and will be function-
ing and working, will sharpen fears and antago-
nisms within the nations of western Europe.
The quarrel over whether to accept or reject
Russia's new position will be conducted on a
domestic basis, in each country. The west does
not care to fight Russia, but left and right may
fight it out, in little, at home. The results of
such conflicts will not in the least affect Russia's
position in eastern Europe, but they may pro-
foundly affect western domestic policy. Some-
thing like that seems to be happening in Brit-
ain already, where Mr. Churchill first asked his
Labor ministers to remain in his cabinet indefi-
nitely, i.e., to surrender unconditionally; and
failing that, has thrown them out and precipi-
tated an election, but the results of it will prob-
ably not affect Russia very profoundly, and are
much more likely to show up only in the size of
social security payments.
We have had a taste of that at home, where
Polish voters and Yugoslav voters are stirred
on the question of Russia; but the result of
their voting is only to change the composition
of our Congress; it doesn't change anything in
Europe.
So long as the issue between Russia and
the west remains unresolved, the very color
and shape of our lives at home will be af-
fected; and that is one of the thoughts Presi-
dent Truman must keep in mind as he makes
another try at a big three meeting, another
try at finding a basis for legality and set
procedures between east and west. The game
is definitely worth the candle, for we are
deciding much more about our futures than
we can at the moment appreciate.
