Power, Politics RECENTLY, Secretary of the State, Edward Stettinius stated that he planned to draw up a Pan-American mutual defense treaty to pro- tect the American nations in case the proposed international peace council fails. In effect, the secretary is drawing together the Pan-American countries into a small clique inside the peace organization. The inerits of this are dubious. If each of the Big Three was to form its own clique within the organization, the world would soon find itself divided, once again, into power- politics with each nation looking out for its own interests. The evils of power politics are many, as the past history of the world has shown only too frequently. With Russia bringing together the Balkans and possibly the Scandinavian nations and post-war China, with England attempting to counteract the arrangement by forming outside alliances with the European nations, and the United States already planning to bring together the Americas, the world may soon find itself in an- other bigger world war. Rather than try power politics again, let the Big Three bring together the. entire world, re- gardless of the geographic locality of each na- tion, into one mighty political unit. This one unit would leave no space for conflicting smaller political enterprises like Stettinius proposed to entangle themselves in a mess. Unity would be obtained, and one less cause for another world war would be eliminated. -Phil Elkus Allied Unity THAT President Trumian should stay at houme where he belongs is the thesis of a strongly worded editorial in a metropolitan newspaper. Wondering what could be the reasons for this anachronism, we read further to discover that "the Moscow press would not be boosting for another meeting of this sort if Russia were not eminently satisfied with the bacon Stalin brought home from Teheran and Yalta." No conclave can be termed successful unless each of the participants feels that some measure of satisfaction has been obtained. This princi- ple of mutual 'satisfaction is the basis for world peace. The British and French clash in Syria. A Pul- itzer prize winning newspaper says we must dis- like a thing because Russia likes it. And this is Allied unity. -Annette Shenker FEPC Funeral A BILL appropriating $599,000 to the perma- nent Fair Employment Practices Committee has been laid aside "for future consideration" by the House Appropriations Committee.

A committee which has ac- By DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON-Despite all the ballyhoo about grandiose plans for the trial of war crimi- nals, the real fact is that as of this writing not one Nazi has been listed for trial by the American section of the War Crimes Commission. The British have proposed aames. The Rus- sians have gone ahead with an undetermined number. And the U. S. Army has tried and punished various Nazis who committed crimes against American soldiers. But not one name so far has been listed by the U. S. section of the War Crimes Commission under U. S. Su- preme Court Justice Robert Jackson. Furthermore, at a secret meeting held in Wash- ington a few days ago, Justice Jackson would not be pinned down to conviction of any large group of Nazis, such as the Gestapo or SS Elite Guard, before Christmas. He even said he wasn't sure they were guilty under interna- tional law. How peculiar the whole runaround regard- ing the trial of Nazi war criminals is, has just been emphasized in a confidential report to the White House by Herbert Pell, former minister to Portugal and Hungary and until recently U. S. chairman on the War Crimes Commission. Mr. Pell reveals in his report that some State Department officials did not agree with him that Hitlerites who beat up and killed innocent victims because of their religion should be considered guilty of war crimes. Pell took a vigorous stand on this, and eventu- ally his differences with the State Department caused 'him to be euchred out of the War Crimes Commission. His confidential White House report dated May 23, 1945, follows: Pell's Secret Report .. . "LATE IN JUNE, 1943, I was appointed Amer- ican member of the War Crimes Commis- sion by President Roosevelt. I immediately went to the State Department and in a few weeks was ready to sail. I was informed that the British government did not want the American com- missioner to get to England until the commission was ready to meet. I discovered afterwards that no such suggestion had ever been sent through the American embassy in London. "I tried to get as assistant, Professor Sheldon Glueck of Harvard, who was willing to come, and a friend of mine, Paul Lienau. The depart- ment sent neither of these gentlemen but pre- ferred Mr. Lawrence Preuss. After a very short time in London I discovered that a part of Mr. Preuss's duties was to write private letters, mostly abusive to me, to Mr. Sandifer of the State De- partment, who in turn gave them to Mr. Hack- worth, the legal adviser, whose division had charge of war crimes in the department. When I discovered this I told Mr. Preuss that he should file his private letters of this character with the commission's documents. lie did file some of them but not all. "In February, 1944, I moved, in a committee of the War Crimes Commission, that crimes against whomsoever committed for reasons of race, religion, or political opinion should be . treated as war crimes. Mr. Preuss, although officially subordinate to me, rose in committee and opposed this suggestion, "A few weeks later a British general sent ine by special messenger a document marked secret, for which I had to sign. Mr. Preuss asked to have some copies made of it. I refused to allow this but told him that he could see the original. Shortly thereafter he was discovered dictating a copy of this document. I confiscated the copies, the stenographer's notes, and the carbons and immediately reported to Ambassador Winant, representing the President, that I could not accept the responsibility of secret documents if anyone in my office could arrogate to them- selves the privilege of making copies, "Mr. Preuss was immediately returned to the United States but to my surprise instead of be- ing reproved for making private copies of military secret documents he was placed in honor in the State Department and has been maintained and is now in a responsible posi- N SECOND HOIJGHIO - - - - - -_ _ - ~ tion in San Francisco.

When New York Congressman Gus Bennett prcsented President Truman with a special pocket Bible recently, Truman pulled a magnify- - ing glass from his pocket and told Bennett, "You see, I'm all prepared to read this gift, which I'm very happy to receive." California congressmen headed by Helen Ga- hagn Douglas wet to the White House to ask presidential support for their fight to block a congressional ban on the transmission of public power to San Francisco from the huge Shasta dam. They didn't even get their story told be- fore Truman interrupted. "You don't have to tell iie about what you want," he said. "I've been out there, I'm acquainted with the fight and I'm definitely on your side. I'm ready to veto any legislation to block use of the dam for public power."

I'D RATHER BE RIGHT: War Measure By SAMUEL GRAFTON r "HE NAVY laments. piteously that it, cannot find 15,000 skilled workers to repair dam- aged vessels in West Coast yards. The situa- tion was "pretty good" until a few weeks ago, but since the end of fighting in Europe, work- men have begun to head east, toward old homes and peace-time jobs. A wave-motion has set in, away from the war. Every man for himself; and maybe it's a poor motto. But it is the motto which has been given to our labor force by Congress, in its stern refusal to set up any kind of dignified unemployment insurance plan, adequate to tide war workers through the agonies of per- sonal reconversion. The situation in the West Coast yards is merely the application, on the wage-worker level, of the general principle of every man for himself, which Congress seems to favor as its guiding rule for reconversion, Laissez-faire, no government interference, ev- ery man for himself, and when's the next train back to lemphis? Meanwhile, however, we are closing in the Japanese. As we do so, they become more des- perate; their resistance stiffens. But our own economy relaxes, our own mobilization slack- ens. The natural result is that the Japanese bring out increasing numbers of "Kamikaze" or suicide pilots, while we can't find the workers needed to repair the ships they damage. The fighting grows more intense at the front, while our organization at the rear shows signs of going mushy. 1IHERE COULD BE no clearer proof that demo- bilization of war workers is a war job, to be handled by the federal government, with federal funds, as a war measure. The way in which we have botched it so far, And tried to make a states' rights matter of it, is actually interfering with the conduct of the war. Workers are fright- ened. Chairman Krug of the War Production Board, says there will be 1,900,000 unemployed within three months. But even this figure was dated before he issued it, for it did not include a sudden Army Air Forces cutback of $3,500,- 000,000. It is a characteristic of our day that statistics don't stay fresh very long; they simply won't kep. It is in this setting that Congress has chosen to go on an ideological bat, prematurely bring- ing out its slogans concerning a return to states' rights, an end of war-time planning and controls; all done agitatedly, avidly, like children who can't wait for a party to begin, We hear, for example, that the way to solve the food problem is to get rid of the OPA; suppress the OPA, in other words, instead of the black market. This is only another way of saying every man fir himself' and if that slogan has seeped down to the shipyards, it can also be said that it has started at some of the highest political levels in the land. T[HERE WAS something rotten about the last war, and we all remember it; a snide, shift- less profiteering went on on the home front; my child's memory of it is filled with pictures of a suddenly expanding luxury all around the town. It was a war which laughed, on the home front, like a lady with scarlet lips, and if she ever spoke, it was only to say every man for himself. We have avoided most of that this time, and it would be wrong to slip into it dur- ing the last chapter. To avoid it, it is worth having a few war- time controls, and spending a little money on unemployment pay, and holding back the slogans about individual freedom, which end in the curious spectacle of a cruiser left unrepaired because a man has had to fix himself up, running for safety in the dazed selfishness of the helpless poor. uCopyrght. 1945, N.

To assert that the Digest's con- densation is a loaded distorted mis- representation ef author Hayek's book is no overstatement. Specifi- cally, the Reader's Digest emitted all mention of Hayek's discussion of "the supremely important prob- lem of combating general fluctua- tions of economic activity and the recurrent waves of large-scale un- employment which accompany them. Planning in the good sense" is Hayek's solution for this prob- lem. "In any case," he says, "the very necessary efforts to secure protection against these fluctua- tions do not lead to the kind of planning which constitutes a threat to our freedom." In another passage which the Di- gest glibly passed over, Hayek, after calling for a basic minimum suste- nance for everyone, stated, "that with this assurance of a basic mini- mum all claims for a privileged se- cuxity of particular classes must lapse, that all excuses disappear for allowing groups to exclude newcom- ers from sharing their relative pros- G ood Rcord DESPITE discouraging rumors of wholesale redemptions, less than thirteen per cent of all money re- ceived from the sale of war bonds has been refunded through redemp- tions. It's a good record. -Marge Jackson By Crockett Johnson perity in order to maintain a special standard of their own." Hayek again took up the pen after the Digest misrepresented his ideas in their April issue. In a refu- tation of the Digest's condensation, reprinted in the Congressional Record of May 16, Hayek wrote- "There is no justification- for tak- ing up my argument against cer- tain kinds of Government inter- vention in internal affairs and leaving out the equally strong case against tariffs based on the same principles; or to stress solely the necessary restrictions of Govern- ment activities which I discuss, and leave out the equally strong argument for the Government's taking steps to curb the power of the various monopolies." And yet more - "My main con- cern is now that I find far too many people talking about what I am rep- resented to have said rather than about the argument that I have ac- tually used. I certainly do not wish to be held responsible for all the interpretations of my views. If those who wish to use part of my argument for special pleading are allowed to get away with it, this is not my fault; there is enough in the book to an- swer and refute them." From the very start of their mis- treatment of Hayek's book, the edi- tors of the Reader's Digest zealously attempted to fool the public. In their foreword appears the following mis- statement of fact: "Prof. Hayek . . . sounds a grim warning to American' and Britons who look to government; to provide the way out ofrall out economic difficulties." Retorted Ha- yek-- "I wrote mainly with the Brit- ish public and the British progres- sives in mind." In referring to the reception his book met in America, Hayek wrote. "I was first a little puzzled that a book written in no party spirit should have been so exclusively welcomed by one party (Alderman Smith's party) and I still feel that the interpreta- tion of my book as a party document is the result of some misapprehen- sion." But what makes Alderman Smith's attempt at propagandizing the faculty so serious is that the insemination of political dogma in- to the ranks of a University facul- ty, whose very value as men of research and instruction demands that they evaluate a-ll views, TONIGHT at 8:30. 8:30 will be presented tonight at Maybe we should add EWT.
