Loyalty Commission

REMINISCENT of those panicky and
fascist days under the Alien and Sedi-
dion Acts of 1798 is the recent proposal of
the House un-American activities commit-
tee for creation of a "federal loyalty com-a
mission" to insure, that no one enters the
federal government payroll who is engaged
in "subversive activities."
Rep. J. Parnell Thomas, chairman of the
committee, announced Thursday that such
a bill had been approved in a secret session
and it was to be presented to the House.
If passed it would establish an agency of
seven members, serving ten year terms and
appointed by the president, and give it
"broad powers" to eliminate subversive ac-
tivities in the government. In fact, the pres-
ident himself, members of Congress, and
cabinet heads would be the only government
employes exempt from the commission's
authority..
Whenever the agency, acting entirely in-
dependent of the government, "has reason
to believe an employe is disloyal," it will
conduct investigations and hearings. If his
loyalty is thought to be "in doubt," it will
judge the employe guilty and remove him
from office or other government position!

NIGHT EDITOR: GAY LARSEN

Judgment of the commission would be fin-
al and not subject to repeal in any court!
Of course this bill is aimed at the case
of the "communists" in the Oak Ridge
atom nmb plant, and all similar cases.
A very possible ulterior motive behind
this proposal is discredit to David E. Lil-
ienthal; if the persons in question were to
be found "guilty," he would be made to
look as if he tolerated the Oak Ridge
"conditions."
But it seems that this is an excessively
drastic measure for Thomas and cohorts
(whoever they may be) to take in order to
weed out truly un-American activities with-
in the government's maze of bureaus and
commissions. What committee of seven
members can ever be capable, no matter
how large its staff, of getting the real Com-
munists out of government positions?
On the other hand, Thomas may be
thinking that quicker action can be had by
charging the Communists with violation of
.'the Corrupt Practices Act. Quick action and
settlement of the Communist uproar is cer-
tainly what the public wants, and a plan of
attack on this line would do more to con-
form to the public's desires.
The real danger of creation of a federal
loyalty -commission is that it would be poi-
sonous to democracy and comparatively
harmless to real Communism. Its existence
in the government would be worse that the
existence there of Communists. The very
proposal of such a bill is as un-American an
act as has been seen in a long time.

Discriminaton Clause

GRAND CHIEF Alvanley Johnston and his
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
are on the spot again. This time it is not
a strike but a clause in the brotherhood's
constitution that is causing the difficulty.
The New York State Commission Against
Discrimination, set up over a year ago by
the legislature, has made the flat demand
that either a discriminating proviso be elim-
inated as far as it affects that state, or the
brotherhood will face legal action. Field of-
ficers and heads of the 63 locals in New
York, if found guilty each would face $500
fines and a year in jail under provisions of,
the statute which makes racial discrimina-
tion in employment illegal.
This railroad union, says Henry C.
Turner, commission chairman, is the on-
ly organization in the state which has
failed to remove such discriminatory pro-
visions from its governing laws. About
13% of the brotherhood's total member-
ship of 75,000 will be affected if action
MATTER OF FACT:
D 'I'm 1

by the commission in pressing its de-
mands is successful, which seems assured.
In dealing with complaints against em-
ployers, the New York commission has been
highly successful. The great majority of
cases which came within its jurisdiction
were satisfactorily disposed of. Many in-
stances of improved race relations resulted.
In one case, a bank hired Negroes on con-
dition that they not patronize its restaur-
ant, but eat outside. Soon afterward, on in-
sistence of the white employes working with.
the negroes, the latter were permitted to
dine in the restaurant.
The experience of this agency in settling
complaints brought before it concerning
both employers and unions in its short span
of existence should give encouragement to
advocates of a Fair Employment Practices
Commission in Michigan, and cause all cit-
izens to give this issue serious thought and
attention.

I'D RATHER BE RIGHT:
Left vs. Right
By SAMUEL GRAFTON
PARIS-Americans are people who wan-
der around the continent, shaking their
heads and saying, "Europe is dead." Eu-
rope is not dead, though it is very old, and
in a curious way it derives a certain cyni-
cal resilience from its age very different
from the jumpy optimism of youth but very
real.
An old French editor talks about the
Communists here. "They will grow," he
says, "but they will grow only as they be-
come more official and more governmental
and more French." He runs his hand ov-
er his face. "We have-seen all this before,"
he says. "The Communists will grow, but
the price of their growth will be their de-
struction. The other day they declared in
the assembly that they are in favor of free
business relations in France." He smiles, a
very cynical, most un-American smile. "We
will digest them," he says. "We have digested
many things". He may be right or wrong;
my only point is that it is almost impos-
sible for an American to think in terms of
political process in this way. "The Com-
munists have become responsible for the
future ofaFrance," says the editor. He is
almost laughing now. "This means they
want credits, it means they can no longer
attack the United States. They will split
into Right and Leftwings".
I ask a Frenchman what Europe needs
most and he says, "Credits". "How will you
repay them?" I ask him. "I do not know,"
he says. You must not ask us to have
answers to all our problems. We live with
unsolved problems. It is not so hard; one
gets used to it. Set up an official category
of unsolved problems and put it in that and
it will be all right." To an American this
seems like treason to logic itself, but the
French are old enough to have digested log-
ic too.
This is a very old civilization and it has
in it that special unadorned will to live
which very old organisms sometimes have.
To an American, who takes the progressive
view of life, and who cannot believe that a
wood violet can be content going on being
a wood violet without wanting to be ten
percent closer to an orchid each month, it
is a little baffling. An American looks at
Czechoslovakia, sees Communists all over
the place, and says, "Well, Czechoslovakia
is gone." A Frenchman says, "They have
not collectivized the farms, and as for the
factory worker, what difference does it
make to him who owns the plant?
The other thing is that in Europe the
battle between Left and Right is accept-
ed as a normal part of life, while in Aier-
Ica the existence of a Left is considered
an outrage. There are memories of a
thousand years of repression and strug-
gle here, whih .play a part in this ac-
ceptance. Besides Europe has worked
through its period of fascist reaction;
these who went off readily into fitsat the
sight of a Leftist have swung from every
gibbet on the continent, and this particu-
lar type of response has been thinned out.
It may be the absence of this sort of re-
action to what in America would seem-
extreme provocation that makes some vis-
itors feel Europe is dead. They didn't
feel it was dead ten years ago, when on-
ly fascists could use the sidewalks.
It isn't dead; it has an ability to accept
life, without illusion, that is even a little
terrifying. A Czech details the problems
his country faces; it is going to have to
watch Germany against a new rise; it must
get along with Russia, and it will need to
avert American displeasure. To many an
American, life, I think, would seem rather
awful under such circumstances, unless-
problems could be settled somehow in a
paper to be drawn up next week. Not a
Czech; these happen to be the problems of
the next hundred years, and he accepts
them. Don't sell Europe short. It is in

trouble, but it ieans to live.

T HE FOLLOWING statement was issued
by His Excellency, Mr. Asaf Ali, India's
first Ambassador to the United States of
America, on arrival at New York on Febru-
ary 20, 1947:-
"I am very happy to have arrived in the
great Republic of the United States of
America. Yours is a powerful and progress-
ive, prosperous and purposive country, with
the unique distinction of twice having es-
tablished, within the last thirty years, noble
precedents of national and international
freedom. I have come from an ancient
country, literally loaded with the cordial
greetings and sincere good wishes of 4004
million of my countrymen and women for
the friendy and large-hearted men and
women of the leading Republic of the New
World. My people have sent me with san-
guine hopes that it will be granted me, dur-
ing my stay here, to be instrumental in
strengthening closer political, economic and
cultural relations between the peoples of
America and India on the sure and lasting
foundation of freedom, equality and recipro-
city. From what experience it has been my
privilege to have had of the friendship of
your countrymen and women in my own
country, I already feel the warmth of con-
geniality in spite of the freezing winds
through which I have voyaged across the
oceans and lands which separate your coun-
try from mine."

Electricity,
To the Editor:
The Willow Run bureaucrats
have stirred themselves out of a
year-long lethargy. We had got-
ten used to their monthly diat-
ribes against electrical appliances,
about which they never really did
anything except threaten. And'
gradually we looked about us out1
here and saw that hot plates and
water heaters were almost stand-
ard equipment. They were a lot'
better than the coal range which'
alternately belched clouds of'
smoke and went out. So we took
the bit in our teeth and hooked'
up our own electrical appliances.
Butasome son-of-a-gun must
have asked for a second bowl of
porridge. The bureaucrats are
aroused. They are concerned a-
bout our safety. All electrical ap-
iliances must go. Washington says
rewiring the units to permit these
appliances is not allowed.
It poses a good problem for so-
ciological discussion, here in this
center of learning. What is an,
Okie? Are Willow Run denizens
people? Shall electricity and gas
and the necessary wires and pipes
to carry them be distributed to
those. teeming multitudes on the
Ypsi prairie or shall those mater-
ials be used instead in the build-
ing of bigger and better garages
(with no cars to sell), bigger and
better 10-room houses for those
patriots who suffered through 4
years. of war in their old 8-room
Job?
This is all academic, of course.
We, have received the WORD from
above. A "directive" from Wash-
ington says that Willow Village
cannot be supplied with "capital
improvements." Electricity and
gas are not for sale. That is, to
residents of Willow Village. And
to carry this on.a bit, this proves
that Willow Villagers are not peo-
ple. "It says so right here in this
directive: 'Cook on your coal
range, like your grandmother did."'

Non-Appreciation
To the Editor:
At the excellent "Skeleton on
Horseback" movie Saturday, the
preliminary film was Soviet made,
revealing the fine participation of
the Russian people in celebrating
Russian progress. Some misguid-
ed youth, apparently inspired
by anti-communist propaganda
thought to interrupt the en-
joyment of the truly delightful
Russian film by contemptuous re-
marks.
This suggests to me that today
in the discussions of Communists
and certain peculiarities of Rus-
sian bargaining about lend-lease
that too many Americans seem to
forget the nature of our indebt-
edness to Russia. Seven million
Russians died - more than the
French, English and American
dead. Had fewer Russians died,
millions of Americans now in our
colleges would be dead. In all ne-
gotiations let the price the Rus-
sians paid be remembered.
Entirely apart from the atomic
bomb, war with Russia, to which
some propaganda seems to be di-
rected, would be fatal to Russia
and America.
The Russians have brought ed-
ucation to millions of their citi-
zens even during the war. America
should welcome and participate
in their progress out of gratitude
for their services to our sons.

If these sentiments make me a
Communist, I am willing.
-Louis C. Karpinski
Loyalty Probe
To the Editor:
A strange fear is sweeping across
the country. It is the fear of
communism.
Latest in the series of investi-
gations and "red" probes is the
proposal of the House Committee
on Un-American Activities to cre-
ate a seven-man Federal Loyalty
Commission which would have the
power to discharge federal employ-
ees whose loyalty is in doubt. With

each member serving for ten years,
the commission would be free from
any control by the executive, leg-
islative, or judicial branches of the
government, and its decisions
would be final with no appeal to
any court.
Outside of the tremendous con-
centration of power that this Com-
mission would have and outside of
the great temptation for abuse
were men like Senator McKellar to
get on it, there is also a striking
parallel in recent history that
should be recalled.
It happened in Germany back in
1933. One of Hitler's first acts on
coming to power was to enact a
series of laws dealing with the
civil service. Allow me to quote a
few passages:
"Those persons who have parti-
cipated in communisticactivities
are to be discharged event if they
no longer belong to the Com-
munist party, or its auxiliary or
collateral organizations."
"Only such persons may be ap-
pointed national officials who..
guarantee that they will support
the national state at all times
without reservation."
The parallel is there for those
who will observe. If we are to
avoid the pitfalls of home-grown
fascism, we must be careful not
to let our almost fanatical fear of
communism drive us into a denial
of basic rights to some of our citi-
zens. Once one step is taken to
suppress freedom, othbrs easily
follow.
At the present time, the Aer,
ican Communist party is not so
much a menace as it is a challenge
-a challenge for us to inlprove
our ownesystem by giving more
people better homes to 'live iln,"
better medical care, better Job
opportunities, and better secur-
ity. Communists are Coimmun-
ists, not because they wish to be
disloyal to the United States, but
because, having witnessed many
of the injustices in our present
system, they have lost faith in the
American people, specifically in
their ability to choose 'loyal"
Americans.
Rather than spending all our
energy hunting "reds," let us reaf-
firm our faith in American de-
mocracy and in the American
people, and let us press vigorous-a
ly for the continued improvement
of our country. While we may
have made a good start, we've
still a long way to travel on the
road to the "American ,Dream."

,vatestute jitepurt

By HAROLD L. ICKES
FOREIGN SECRETARY Ernest Bevin of
Great Britain has charged that Presi-
dent Truman is responsible for the unhappy
situation today in Palestine. He seems to
feel that the President's demand that the
100,000 homeless Jews be admitted into Pal-
estine was- a political move at a badly chos-
en moment during the 1946 campaign. As
a matter of fact, the admission of these
Jews was the unanimous recommendation
of the Anglo-American Committee of In-
quiry. Moreover, Mr. Bevin's speech, which
was also undoubtedly made for political ef-
fect, told only that part of the story tht
he wanted to tell.,
It is unfortunate that President Trim-
man waited until the heat of a political
campaign to speak vigorously in behalf of
the 100,000 homeless Jews. However, if
the British government had done what it
should have done and accepted the recom-
mendation of the Joint Committee of In-
quiry to admit into Palestine at once the
100,000 homeless Jews, there would have
been no issue of which the President
could have taken advantage during the
campaign. He was right in demanding
that Great Britain act on this part of
the Anglo-American report, even if it is
to be regretted that he had apparently
no disposition to be forthright about it
until the Democratic candidates were
clearly in a desperate plight.
To get a correct perspective of this whole
question of Palestine, it is necessary to go
back to the Balfour Declaration. Everyone
knows that Great Britain by that declara-
tion stimulated the hopes of the Jews ev-
erywhere that they might establish a home-
land in Palestine. Then came the unfortun-
ate White Paper which dashed the hopes
of the Jews by peremptorily denying any
further immigration. As a war measure
this might have been understandable, es-
pecially in view of the acquiescence by thiA
country in the pronouncement of the White
Paper. But, with the war won, the Jews
naturally began to demand that Great Bri-
tain and the United States live up to the
Balfour Declaration. Considering all of the
circumstances, the Jews were extraordinar-
ily patient. So, too, was the United States
government.
The United States accepted the report of
the Joint Commission, particularly its re-
commendation that the 100,000 homeless
Jews in Europe be allowed at once to go to
Palestine. Great Britain stalled, declining
to say either "yes" or "no" but, in fact, un-

of the 100,000 homeless Jews, this Cabinet
Committee weakly agreed, without author-
ity, to a partition of Palestine which, if it
had been carried out, would have proved to
be a gross caricature of justice.
Protests poured into the White House to
such degre that President Truman had to
call his members of the Cabinet Committee
back to Washington, thus completely re-
. pudiating them. Meanwhile, much valu-
able time had been lost. An election was
coming on apace as the British must have
well known, but they stubbornly refused to
permit any further immigration into Pal-
estine. The British continued to trifle with
an extremely dangerous situation until they;
found themselves in the deepest sort of
trouble. That is where they are today.
The Palestine question is sufficiently
grievous without adding fuel to the fire as
Mr. Bevin did in his speech in Commons
last Tuesday. On balance, the American
record, including even the statement on
behalf of Palestine made by President Tru-
man on the eve of Yom Kippur last fall
will stand up. Mr. Bevin's charge, undoubt-
edly also made for political effect, was un-
fair and gave a decidely distorted presenta-
tion of some facts, while omitting others
that were at least equally important.
The whole episode causes a distinct shock
to those who have had an implicit belief
in British fair play.
