G. I.'s Muzzled. E DITORIAL criticism of the Japanese Chris- tian leader, Dr. Toyohiko Kagawa appears now to have been the reason for the "exile to the salt mines" of the managing editor and a col- umnist of the Army newspaper "Pacific Stars and Stripes." Banishment to Okinawa of Sgt. Ken Pettus of Chicago, editor, and Corp. Ber- nard Rubin of Waterford, Connecticut, column- ist, was delayed yesterday when it became ap- parent their dismissal concerned more than "a negative report on a loyalty check." The soldiers themselves said their ouster resulted from a statement "in which we charged open and implied pressure had been put on us to delete, distort and play down news to preserve the personal and professional interests of the Army hierarchy." They referred to a ban on stories concerning Dr. Kagawa who is known in the United States as a social worker and Christian leader. Using information largely supplied by the Federal Communications Commission and the counter-intelligence corps, Rubin seven weeks ago staged a one-man campaign in which he described Kagawa as a Japanese war propa- gandist, a glib opponent of the United States for "waging an unjust war on the oriental race," and a touter of racial prejudice. He promptly bumped heads with upstairs brass and Army and Navy chaplains who at that time were ap- parently upholding Kagawa as the white hope of Christianity in Japan. The Army banned fur- ther discussion of Kagawa by columnist Rubin. Later the Army and Navy Chaplain's Associa- tion voted 40-17 against lifting the ban. Evidence from Kagawa's record before and during the war does not at all justify the Chaplain's protection-a speech concerning Kagawa's junket to the States in 1941, for instance, is as anti-semetic as any which re- igious leaders on other occasions have con- demned. Kagawa told the foreign affairs committee of the Japanese Diet October 3, 1941, that many of America's chief war ad- vocates are Jews. "This was told me by Al- fred M. Landon (1936 presidential candidate), he said. "Up to this time, I'd always been as sympathetic as possible towards the Jews, but after hearing Mr. Landon's tale I couldn't )help entertaining the same unpleasant feel- ing as Mr. Landon because the Jews have certainly gone too far." Part of Rubin's indictment quoted Kagawa's statement in 1942 in which he described the United States as "a white grave," and attacked her as an imperialist. He said "I cannot believe that Almighty God will permit success for their inordinate ambitions for a world domination, which forced a spirit of racial superiority, but at the same time talks of freedom and liberty, using these words while waging an unjust war on the oriental race. Woe to America for so degrad- ing the name of Christ by this butchery." Even though he may now appear a Simon- pure Christian, a man in our government's confidence who has made such statements certainly deserves investigation. Editorial muzzling of Rubin for digging up these facts and branding him disloyal is farcical. Rubin may console himself that the publicity his puster has gained will make clear the posi- pion of Dr. Kagawa, and the reasons for Kag- aywa's popular support will come to the sur- face. -Clayton Dickey Filibuster Favors Case Bill To the Editor: IN YOUR EDITORIAL of Saturday February seventh, "Strike Control?", Patricia Cam- eron views the Case Bill as a usurper of labor's fundamental rights. The Norris-LaGuardia Act of 1932 makes it illegal for the courts to issue injunctions against laborers for striking, or for inciting others to strike unless the employer can show . that "every reasonable effort" has been made to settle the strike or that unlawful acts have been committed or threatened by the strikers. The employer's hands are virtually tied by this act. Today, the only practice he can resort to as a protection against the threat of a strike is the "lockout." Even in this case labor holds the upper hand. It is impossible for industry to keep manu- facturing on a paying basis if plants are locked up and machines rendered inactive. The lock- out has proven to be of. little value to the em- ployer. Today, the pressure of strikes is so great that in due time the employer is usually always forced to succumb to the demands of his workers. In turn, the employer is obliged to raise the price of his commodities to com- pensate for the higher wage he has to pay. This results in the skyrocketing of prices and sooner or later we have the inevitable result, inflation. I am not asking for a return to the days when every attempt of labor to secure higher wages was put down by an injunction. I fully support Representative Hoffman in his plea to strike the injunction clause from the Case Bill, but I cannot deny the right of contract to the em- ployer. I ask Miss Cameron if she considers a contract, in which both parties are held liable to its breach, as a destroyer of labor's funda- mental rights? What guarantee does an em- ployer have in a contract which the labor union can break at will? How many times have we heard the oft-repeated slogan of the "No Strike Pledge?" To me its the same old story over and over again. The ,Case Bill, or some other bill embody- ing- a binding contract clause, will serve to smolder the flames of our labor-management struggle. The House of Representatives has started the ball rolling. Let us hope that the Senate can divert enough time from its fili- buster to put a stop to the deluge of strikes that has swept the nation. -Lowell B. Komie * * .. ToternOation al ? V To the Editor: 'N REFERENCE to your report in Sunday's paper concerning the changing concept of international law, I doubt the accuracy of your report which accredits Dr. George Americano with saying that the Law of Nations until five years ago was solely concerned with the rules of war and neutrality. No international authority would make this statement, and in publishing this doctrine, the Daily is propagating one of the many current fictions that most people have concerning inter- national law. It is more likely that Dr. Amer- icano pointed out that war was recognized by international law and that it was one of the most flagrantly violated fields of its competence. In the definition of international law, the words "war" and "neutrality" are not even mentioned. The Law of Nations can be defined best as a body of principles and rules which govern and are binding upon states in their mutual relationships. Moreover, it can be shown that international law in comparable fields with civil law is equally effective. Changes are now taking place in the con- cept of international law which make even the above definition inadequate in certain respects. Although states are generally con- sidered to be the legal persons in the laws of Nations, other entities such as international organizations (U.N.O., Court of International Justice, Arbitrary Commissions, etc.), and even in some cases, individuals. Indeed, these international persons other than states were the exception rather than the rule, and such exceptions were usually provided for by treaty or convention. In the conventions setting up such bodies as the now defunct League of Nations, the International Labor Organiza- tion, the Danube Commission, and now the U.N.O., it was distinctly provided that said organizations shall have full international legal status. As these individuals and organ- izations become more than scattered excep- tions, their full international status will be- come an accepted principle of the Law of Nations. Getting back to the previous question, how- ever, there is adequate proof that the Law of Nations apply in peace as well as war. .In fact, international law serves in most cases as an adequate remedy short of war. Take, for ex- ample, the resolution of the North Atlantic Coast Fisheries in 1941 which was concerned with the fishing rights of Americans off the Canadian Coast. Then, there are the various cases arising out of our prohibition laws in which we seized foreign vessels, ostensibly bound for the United States, to smuggle liquor into the country; moreover, these seizures were beyond the traditional three mile limit, and in many cases, the foreign governments acquiesced to these seizures as valid under the law of nations. It is interesting to note that the Supreme Court, who has jurisdiction in controversies arising among the several states within the United States, applies by analogy principles of inter- national law to settle these disputes. That ex- plains why in many international controversies over territory, the international jurist cite cases of the U. S. Supreme Court arising between two states. And if the Law of Nations were solely concerned with the laws of war and neutrality, would the Supreme Court's application of inter- national law be a valid analogy? Very truly yours, -(Mr.) Sylvan M. Berman I'D RATH ER BE RIGH T: Bloc Voting " By SAMUEL GRAFTON A BREAKDOWN of the House vote on the new Case bill, to curb labor activities, gives naked evidence of the sectionalism which today divides the country. It is a scary picture, and it pro- vides the answer to those who are merchandis- ing the view that the Case bill was passed by impartial men, who examined the evidence, and who let their votes be determined by the facts. Their votes were determined largely by where they live. There are some notable and commendable ex- ceptions, but, in the main, it was a vote of the country against the city; it was a vote by the South and the rural North against the indus- trial centers of the nation. It was a vote to curb labor, put through by men who do not live with labor problems, and who do not know the color and feel and- taste of life in industrial communities; some few of them at least, might, just as expertly have been voting on the social problems of Afghanistan. The bill was put through by the bi-partisan bloc; that is to say, 109 Democrats joined with 149 Republicans to vote for it, as against 120 Democrats and 33 Republicans who tried to block it. To look at the list of 109 Democrats who voted for the bill is to be staggered; with the exception of two Californians, and three or four men from border States, every Demo- cratic Representative on the list is Southern. There is something almost undressed about bloc voting of this type; and the immediate effect is knock the intellectual argument for the Case bill on the head. It is not necessary to impugn the motives of the Southern Demo- crats who voted for the bill, but it cannot be maintained on their behalf that they were moved by cool logic alone; logic knows no neighborhoods, and beams with equal brilli- ance upon all men, like the round moon of heaven. THE REPUBLICAN vote for the bill is largely from the rural districts of the Middle-Wes- tern and Eastern States. When one finds an up-State New York Republican against the bill, like Mr. E. A. Hall, he turns out to be from in- dustrial Binghamton. I am not discussing mo- tives, now, but geography, and, though there are some exceptions, the pattern is general; Re- publican Representative Clare Boothe Luce, for example, who comes from the Stamford, Con- necticut, area, which was the scene of a brief general strike, voted against this bill to curb strikes; and most of the Democrats who have tried to kill the bill come from industrial areas. And if the Senate is, as reported, cool to the Case measure, that is perhaps not because the .Senate has a riper wisdom and a richer maturity than the lower Flouse, but because Senators are elected on a State-wide basis, which necessarily mingles city and country, industrial and rural voting. Somewhere in this pattern one may find the reason why, during the last few years, anti-labor feeling has been strongest in the House, less strong in the Senate, and weakest at the Presi- dential or truly national level; and this play of sectional and regional forces must, it seems to me, be found frightening by anyone who would like to see us adopt a national approach to na- tional problems. This angry, swirling play of sectional forces shows us quite clearly that what we have on our hands is not a purely intellectual problem, but the problem of reaching an accomodation among interests in our economy which have not yet agreed to live together, and which have not yet found their proper and stable levels in the whole picture. This is not a problem which can be solved by writing hasty bills, mail-order catalogues of miscellaneous prohibitions; that will merely raise the problem to a higher level, transform it, change it, perhaps, into a political fight; but it will not solve it. When a democracy is faced with the need of finding an accomoda- tion among conflicting interests, it must, in the end, find it; it is never allowed to beg off, short of that point; and the best contribution to the labor situation, at this moment, is being made by those who are trying to set up fair settlements, and not by those who are trying to throw a blanket, such as the Case bill, over the whole situation, and to sit on it. (Copyright, 1946, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.) By DREW PEARSON W ASHINGTON.-New York State Democrats are hopping mad at Jim Farley for "muscling in" on Car- dinal-designate Spellman's trip to Rome. It's no secret that Farley is run- ning like a jackrabbit for governor of New York. He hopes to blow Sena- tor Jim Mead's gubernatorial candi- dacy sky-high again this year just as he did in 1942, despite the fact that President Truman, Postmaster Gen- eral Bob Hantegan, Senator Wagner, and other top-flight Democrat poli- ticians are supporting Mead. Farley, however, hopes to upset the White House machine, win the gov- ernorship himself, and name the Democrat candidate for president in '48, with himself as possible nominee for vice president. Reascn Farley's enemies are sim- mering is because the former Post- master General has created the im- lression he was invited by Spell- man to make the trip to Rome. The fact isthat Farley asked to at- tend, thus putting the hierarchy on the spot. Farley isn't even travl- irg in the same plane with Spell- man. What has made the situation even more touchy is the fact that Mrs. Farley is accompanying her husband to Rome. Bess Farley, who so hated politics and FDR during the Roose- velt administration, will be the only woman in the party, a fact that has created considerable eyebrow raising among Catholics and Democrats alike. NOTE-If the Democratic guber- natorial feud between Jim Farley and Jim Mead gets too hot, keep an eye on FDR's old friend, Wayne Johnson, as a compromise dark horse. He was one of the mainstays in electing Bill O'Dwyer as mayor of New York. flawatwng uStatehozod REPRESENTATIVE HENRY D. LARCADE, Jr., of Louisiana and other proponents of statehood for Hawaii found President Truman an enthusiastic ally when they called on him the other day. "I declared myself very definitely for making Hawaii a state in my message (state of the union) to Congress," Truman told his callers, "and I am still of that opinion." He pointed out that the population of Hawaii, over 502,000, is greater than that of eight states already in the union, adding that with the is- land's vast resources and the inhabi- tants' proven ability to govern them- selves, they are more than qualified to be admitted. "Oklahoma and Arizona were brought in under the territorial status," Truman declared, "and have since been admitted as states. The cnly difference is that awaii is non-contiguxous. But that argu- ment doesn't hold water any more." "The people of the islands are deeply grateful to you for your atti- tude, Mr. President," interposed GOP delegate Joseph R. Farrington of Hawaii, who has the privilege of the House floor and can attend commit- tee session but cannot vote. "It may interest you to know that more than 85 per cent of my people are native- born Americans-that is, they. were born either in the United States or Hawaii." Farrington recalled that in a 1940 plebiscitetthe Hawaiian people had voted 2 to 1 in favor of statehood. The percentage would be much great- er if a vote were taken today, he said. "Well, Im in favor of an increas- irg measure of self-government for all our territories and insular pos- sessions," Truman replied. N Alaskn Statehood 1JOWEVER, he sidestepped commit- ting himself on the question of statehood for Alaska when Represen- tative Hugh Peterson of Georgia maneuvered the discussion in that direction. He indicated that Alaska needed more "developing," but that with proper transportation facilities its population and resources also could be built up to statehood stand- ards. Representatives George P. Miller of California and Homer D. Angell of Oregon,'members of the Larcade sub- committee which recently visited Hawaii, told Truman about the nat- ural beuaty of the islands. "It has a heavenly climate," said Congressman Miller. "That's a fine place then for an Angell," wise-cracked the President, looking at the Oregon Republican. Capitol Chaff GEORGE ALLEN suspects Tommy Corcoran and Jesse Jones of lead- ing the opposition to his RFC con-' frmation. Corcoran says Allen flat-' ters him. . . Democratic Congress- man Antonio Fernandez of New Mex- ico and his wife are becoming stellar attractions at Washington parties. Mrs. Fernandez is supposed to have a DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN better voice than singing Senator Glenn Taylor of Idaho. The Army could use more brass hats like Brig. Gen. Frederick Hop- kins Jr. G.I.'s serving under Ilop- kixxs in the Pacific say he was an outstanding commander who used all the transportation available to rush eligible men home, frequently sacrificing his own comfort to lbeep his men well-fed, well-clothed, and well-informed. State Department strategy in push- ing the loan to Britain through Con- gress includes assurances of recalci- trant legislators that they will not be asked later to okay a loan to Rus- sia. . . . The recent strike seige has resulted in increased cashing in of war bonds. Ex-war workers now on the picket line have been forced to sell heavily. . . . During January, $541,240,000 worth of V-bonds were turned in. Only $640,000,000 were sold. Under the Dome GENERAL MOTORS strikers relief committee now has an impressive list of backers, including publisher Henry Luce, Henry Wallace, ,Col. Robert S. Allen, and Harold Stassen. The British occupation chiefs in Germany, who advocate a soft peace, are reported to have hired one of Himmler's top aids, former SS brigade fuehrer Walther Schel- lenberg, to organize a "non-com- munist front" in the English zone. Movie actors Eddie Albert and Jack Fletcher, who used to teach English in the Friends' school in Washington, made a pact during the invasion of Tarawa that if they came out of the war alive they would organize a non- profit educational film outfit, dedi- cated to the expression of the ideals for which they were fighting. The new firm is now in business. (Copyright, 1946, Bell Syndicate, Inc.) Publication in the Daily Official Bul- Atin is constructive notice to all mem- bers of the University.
