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." Pat Cameron 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. (Copyright, 1945, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc) 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. (Copyright, 1945, N. Y. Post Syndicate) Past Tense "IT IS a deplorable fact," runs a Communication to the Editors of the Daily (March, 1892) that during the last few years, amid the boom- ing' of our athletics and fostering of our class spirit, we have neglected and almost entirely lost sight of thw value and necessity of such a thing as literary work."
