Popularity of Probes
By Congress Depends
On Who Is Grilled
By David Lawrence
Congressional investigations are \
popular or unpopular depending on j
who is being grilled.
Looking back at the shafts of ridi- 1
cule and satire
aimed, at the
House Commit
lee on Un-Amer
ican Activities,
there was no
committee of
Congress per
haps denounced
more by the
‘left wing” ele
ments. particu
larly the Demo
crats. : Now, as
the news comes
out that the
State Depart
ment ‘‘for se
curity reasons” iiad uiu^ytu ov» . ,
eral Communists and the fact has j
been uncovered that various per- j,
sons working in the interest of ,
foreign countries have been per
petrating passport frauds, the Amer- .
ican people are not being reminded ,
that this very movement had its ]
origin with the Dies Committee. i
It is true that the rules of evi- <
dence are disregarded by congres- 1
sional committees, but this is a 1
legislative custom on which there i
are varying opinions. Very little
criticism has come during the past i
12 years from the ‘‘left wing” as
the National Labor Relations Board
has actually made decisions affect
ing civil rights after hearings in ;
which the rules of evidence have ;
been avowedly disregarded. Trial :
examiners have the chance and do!
go further afield than congressional j
committees, because there is no mi-1
nority party representative to check
vit ai/uovo,
Securities Act Recalled.
7t will be recalled also that the
technique of sweeping investigation
by congressional committees has re
sulted in the passage of important
legislation. The present Securities
and Exchange Act owes its origin
to the Senate Banking Committee's!
inquiry in 1933 into financial oper
ations of big holding companies.
Individuals were pilloried before .
that committee, whether guilty or
innocent, and innuendoes were is
sued every day to the press to
prejudice public opinion. But that
was a Democratic Party affair.
Likewise, under Democratic con
trol in the ’30s, the income-tax re
turns of several successful business
men were held up to scorn because
they took advantage of legitimate
deductions. Investigating commit
tees have a way of running all over
the lot with their questions and the
Democratic committees did not
seem to be any too polite or digni
fied about it when they were in
power.
The courts have upheld the right
of congressional committees to ask
almost any question on any subject.
The courts have ruled that Congress
has a right to elicit information
whether the legislative body decides
to use or not to use the information i
in the writing of subsequent legis-i
loti /-»*■*
Recently some Democratic spokes-1
men, with a little touch of self
righteousness, have condemned some
of the Republican committees for a
“lack of dignity.” This implies per
haps that the conduct of congres
sional investigations bv the Demo
crats has always been dignified.
But there is no rule requiring Sen
ators to consider “dignity” in ex
amining a witness. If there were
such proprieties in the Senate,
some of the new-found champions
of ‘dignity” would not have been
filibustering recently for days at a
time under the pretense of discuss
ing a public question while they
read from books piled high on Sen
ate desks that contained matter ,
wholly irrelevant to the subject '■
under debate and merely consumed '
time. Such tactics are considered
proper though obviously hypocriti- .
cal and undignified. I1
Bulwark of Government.
The rules of “dignity” seem to!,
come to the fore when someone j |
doesn’t like congressional inquiries. ,
Dignified or undignified, the investi- (
gating committee is the chief bul- ,
wark of our representative form of |
government. It is a means whereby ]
the party in power is checked up ,
by its successor's inquries. It is a
warning, moreover, to those who win ,
power not to forget that the public ,
some day may vote another regime ,
into the saddle and the checking j
process will be begun all over again.
To ridicule the system of congres- .
sional investigation is to reflect
doubtless the irritation of onlookers
and also the irritation of persons '
being grilled. But, adding it all up,
the advantages are on the side of
sweeping inquisitorial powers. One
important rule is that investigating
committees shall not be the vehicle
for the wielding of private axes or
the airing of private grudges.
About all that experience with
recent investigations seems to prove,
however, is that Democrats don’t
like congressional investigations con
ducted by Republicans and the Re
publicans don’t relish inquiries con
ducted when the Democrats are in
power. If the public will observe
the long-range results carefully, it
will find that congressional investi
gations usually result in the eradi
cation of abuses and often in legis
lative restrictions in the public
interest.

Russia Out to Extend Zone in Germany
To the Rhine. Reoorts From Berlin Sav
By Constantine Brown
Russia intends to push her en
roachment against Germany as far
,s the Rhine. This is the gist of
eports received from American au
thorities in Ber
in. where activ
ties of Soviet
\rmv agents
ind their Ger
nan and Rus
lan stooges are
>eing watched
nore closely
han ever.
State Deoart
neiii. officials fn
Washington are
treparing ma
erial for the
inference o f
he Big Four
Foreign Minis- Constantine Brown,
ers to be held in London November
.5. This conference will be a con
inuation of the Moscow parleys last
ipring, which had to be “postponed”
lecause of the lack of understand
ng between the Soviet government
ind the other Allies.
When Secretary of State Marshall
igreed at that time to hold another
neeting this fall he hoped that this
ong cooling oft period might make
he Kremlin more tractable and co
iperative. Unfortunately, the fact
hat our armed forces—and particu
arly the Air Forces—have dimin
shed even further since spring has
ailed to make Russia's masters
nore amenable to reason.
IT. S Ic ll>ak
Like Hitler before Pearl Harbor,
he Kremlin relies heavily on the
•eports of its agents in the United
States and has come to the conclu
iion that this country is too weak
,o do more than talk and attempt
o buy the support of other nations.
Every time the Russian agents in
form Moscow that there has been
mother substantial jump in Ameri
:a's cost of living the reports are
-eceived joyfully, because they lead
he Russians to believe that social
mrest here may not be far off.
The Comintern does not hide its
houghts, which fill the editorials
n the government press and the
adio broadcasts. In sum, these
houghts are that America will never
•isk a showdown with the USSR
>ecause it would mean new hard
ships for the American people, who
cannot live without the “luxuries to
which its capitalist leaders have
accustomed them.”
The same idea was expressed in
1936 by Admiral Kichisaburo No
mura. who later became the last
Japanese Ambassador to Washing
ton. He told a small gathering in
Washington that "there is no
danger of war between Japan and
America.” When asked the basis
for this pleasant and optimistic
prophecy, he replied: "Because of
the Beauty-Rest mattress.” He went
on to say that the American people
are soft and used to luxuries. Con
sequently, he said, they would never
indorse a war w'hich could be waged
nnlv hv rh*> st.rone
‘Tougher’ Molotov Seen
This same conception of America
in 1947 is believed to be the principal
reason why the USSR is so unco
operative and why she follows her
present provocative line. The re
ports from Berlin say we must ex
pect an even tougher attitude on the
part of Foreign Minister Molotov
when—and if—he goes to London.
Available information based on a
careful analysis of the Russian ac
tivities in the Reich lead American
observers to believe that the Soviet
Foreign Minister's attitude in Mos
cow last Spring was far more co
operative than it will be in London
in November.
DnlUinol orwl militomr nvaocurcc
ire under preparation in the Russian
zone of Germany to confront us
with accomplished facts before the
time fixed for the next parley. The
Russians may try to maneuver us
into abandoning Berlin to them.
They may also attempt to force the
withdrawal of all Allied forces in the
western zones of Germany to the
western bank of the Rhine.
The largest and most productive
part of Austria is also expected to
be added to the expanded Russian
zone, which would immediately be
come a "free and democratic”
(German Republic, with its capital at
I Weimar. The Russians are reported
to have informed the present Aus
trian government of their plans,
which amount actually to another
Anschluss.
The American Government Is
forewarned of the shape of things
to come. But because of our pres
ent military weakness there is little
that can be done to offset Russian
plans.

New Banner Flies Over Union of India;
‘Democracy’ Development Questioned
By Dorothy Thompson
Today, August 15, two new states
af vast extent, numbers and re
sources come into being: The Do
ninions of India and Pakistan. A
new flag flies—
the banner of
the Union of
India, a tricolor
af saffron, white
and dark green
with a centered
dark-blue circle,
the Aryan wheel
if life, symbol of
he ancient Em
peror Asoka. *
Though the
two states are
called “domin
ions” the trans
ference of power
from Great Dorothy Thompson.
Britain is total. No British rights
ire reserved. Both Indian states
may withdraw from the Common
wealth or one may stay and the
Dther withdraw.
The last tribute to British sin
;erity was the decision of the India
Congress to make Viscount Louis
ilountbatten Governor General for
he interim period during which the
tew constitution and law's shall be
Irawn up. The reason given is
;igniflcant. Nobody fears that
klountbatten will usurp powers,
vhich many Congress members ob
ect to giving any one of their own
tarty.
Picks Own "wader.
But Moslem Pakistan—not be
ause it objects to Mountbatten. but
lecause it wishes no symbol, even,
if all-India unity—has chosen its
iwn leader. Jinnah, as interim Gov
ernor General. In this capacity,
ilus his control of the Moslem
..eague, Jinnah becomes head of
he greatest and richest Moslem
tate—150,000.000 people—with com
nensurate influence on the Arabian
vorld. On August 12 he was pro
laimed “Caid - el - Azam,” ‘‘great
eader"—or fuehrer.
Not all of India is absorbed in the
ndia Union or Pakistan. Though
he British recommended that the
>rincely states align with one or the
ithertif the great entities, Kashmir,
Hyderabad, and Bhopal have de
:lared independence. Belatedly
rrnvancore joined India, thus put
ing her in possession of three-quar
ers of all available thorium—a ra
iioactive element used in develop
ng atomic energy.
A study of the two provisional
;abinets reveals great concentra
ions of power. Nine persons hold
itj pww in tuc inuiit uaumci, nvc
iold 15 in the Pakistan cabinet.
Will ‘’democratic” governments
ievelop? That depends on deflni
ions. The concept of “democracy”
generally accepted since the Ameri
■an Revolution was of strict di
vision of powers, protection of equal
•ights for political minorities, gov
ernment “of laws, not men.” and
specific freedoms reserved to the
individual citizen.
This concept is waning even in
:he West, and was never native to
Asia. Alexander Hamilton would
nave called the “new” democracies
Catiline States.” Based, not on
the suffrage of uncoerced individual
citizens forming in commonalty “the
people, out on organized, propa
gandized, and autocratically con
trolled ‘‘masses,’’ they centralize In
stead of diffusing power, rule by ma
jorities obtained in police-controlled
plebiscites, accord no rights to mi
norities, and reserve none to the in
dividual citizen. By classical defini
tion and analogy they are tyrannies
by mass-seducing demagogues.
Oppression by Kin.
It is not written in history nor
destiny that men may not be worse
oppressed by kin and kind than by
strangers. In Pakistan enlightened
Moslem elements attracted to their
Hindu brethren are steam-rollered
by Moslem chauvinists. In the
struggles for national self-govern
mcnt tho v®ru i Hpcj rtf cAlf.crnvArn.
ment undergoes strange metamor
phoses. Nations may be “free” and
their people enslaved.
In Britain itself, birthplace of po
litical liberty and personal freedom,
a' struggle threatens the basis of
British society.
A government with a huge but
normally transitory majority—ob
tained by a largely accidental coali
tion of opinion against a previous
wartime regime—has voted itself
extraordinary powers, refusing the
right of the minority even to in
quire into their specific purposes. If
the government so desires, it can—
under these powers—liquidate whole
economic classes without due proc
ess of law, establish workers’ serf
dom, and alter basic institutions.
Though British public opinion still
functions and the natural modera
tion of the British mind may coun
sel restraint, nevertheless the words
of Lord Acton about the inevitable
corruption engendered by absolute
power come forcibly to mind.
Lord Acton and liberty will be re
discovered as the wheel turns. But
in how long, no mind can foresee
or foretell.

Britain ajid U. S. Should Find Solution
To Palestine Issue Without Delay
By Harold L. Ickes
The tragedy of Palestine becomes
deeper with the days. If the na
tions of the world cannot solve this
proolem, how can they hope to
deal successful
ly with greater
ones? The two
countries prin
cipally responsi
ble for Palestine
are, first and in
far greater de
gree, Great Brit
am and, to a
lesser extent, the
United States.
Both love peace.
Both are under
solemn mutual
pledges, as well
as promises to
the Jews to pro- H»»ld l. ick«.
mote a Jewish homeland in Pales
tine.
Yet, what do we find in Palestine
today? Behind broken pledges ter
rorism stalks. Kidnapings and mur
ders follow executions. One hun
dred thousand British soldiers dot
the land. One soldier for every six
Jews, regardless of sex or age! But,
overwhelming as this army is, ter
rorism continues. Terror begets
terror until even the British, who are
probably self-disciplined to a higher
degree than people of any other
nationality, engage in reprisals.
Default in Statesmanship.
Neither the great majority of the
Jews in Palestine nor few, if any, of
the Jews of the United States and
England accepted with any feeling
short of despair and horror the re
cent hanging \>y the terrorist Jews,
of Palestine of two British soldiers
who had been kidnaped and held as
“hostages.” Yet" one who regards
objectively the whole question of
Palestine cannot but wonder
whether it was either necessary or
wise for the British to proceed re
lentlessly with the execution of the
Jewish terrorists whose sentence to
death inspired the kidnaping of the
British soldiers and whose death on
the scaffold led to the retaliatory
VioMrtirifr f ho o rroc ’’
The most desperate aspect of the
whole question of Palestine is the
total default in British and Amer
ican statesmanship. I include our
own country in this condemnation,
although, primarily, it has been
Great Britain that has budded
tragic error upon tragic error, into a
veritable Chinese Wall of criminal
error. To judge the Great Britain of
today by what is happening in
Palestine one would envisage Cham
berlain back in power. And yet the
government of Great Britain con
sists of men who outspokenly have
condemned the White Paper, men
who are leaders in the party which
went on record in favor of rescind
ing the White Paper and returning
to the Balfour declaration.
The moral responsibility of the
United States is as clear as is that
of the British, even though we
have had no hand in the repressions
and terrorism in Palestine. We
underwrote the Balfour Declaration.
We, too, have condemned the White
Paper. Long ago. President Tru
man demanded the immediate ad
mission into Palestine of 100.000
Jews. Publicly, he has reiterated
this policy, which, if carried out,
would be both humane and states
manlike. He has been content
with pious words.
To What Purpose, Britain?
The time came when Great Brit
ain could no longer afford the lux
ury of maintaining the German
royal house that oppressively rules
Greece. Great Britain talks of re
ducing the number of its troops
in vjcimaii) . vjica.u uiiiaiu « wv,
coining worried about the rapid dis
appearance of its American dollars.
And yet. Great Britain seems to
be able to afford 100,000 troops in
little Palestine. One might well ask
for how long and to what purpose.
The only claim that Great Britain
has to any authority in Palestine
is under a mandate from the
League of Nations. As a matter of
fact, there is now no League of
Nations. So, it might be asked
whether Great Britain is in Pales
tine legally, or as a usurper.
Without arguing this point, it is
suggested that the United Nations
ought to issue to both Great Britain
and the armed Palestinians a
“cease and desist" order. Not only
for humanitarian reasons should an
end be put to this internecine war
fare, but because it is a spark vthat
may ignite a larger conflagration
that it might not be possible to
extinguish. In any event, it does
not comport with the prestige and
dignity of the United Nations to
permit these two recalcitrant hot
heads to be murdering each other
under the guise of “legal execu
tions," or “reprisals" or otherwise
Tf. 1c incf oc nmnor tVyof ilia
; United Nations should order a ces
sation of this conflict In Palestine
as it was that it should tell the
Dutch and the Indonesians to stop
their bitter and unwarranted war.
And, having rung the curtain down
on the terrorism in Palestine, the
United Nations, and particularly
those two powerful members, the
United States and Great Britain,
should find a quick and satisfactory
way out of the Palestine issue with
out further delay. There must be
some solution that men of good will
can find. Failure to solve this
question is tantamount to admitting
that executions and reprisals shall
follow each other interminably in
bloody sequence.

McLemore—
Can't Pick Winner
Even in Rio Races
By Henry McLemore
RIO DE JANEIRO.—Tomorrow
morning my barrister, a Brazilian
named Billingsley Shor. will enter
suit against Pan American World
Airw&vs. He will t
sue them for
$750, that being
the amount I
lost at the races
a few days ago
when Brazil’s
hioroAcf v o n n
Grande Premio
Brazil, was run
at the Hipo
dromo de Gavea.
I flew down
here with Pan
Am, and not,
once did they
mention the
danger an Henry MeLtmcre.
Americano ran in attending the
races in Rio. They told me that
Rio's climate was perfect, and it is.
They told me that the {ood is as
good as anywhere in the world.
Buenos Aires excepted, and they
were right. They told me it was
the gayest, happiest city of them
all, and they were right.
But they didn't tell me that a
horse player can go broke just as
quickly in Brazil as anywhere else.
Given no warning, I figured that
with the horse lore I had picked
up from such men as Bill Corum,
Paul Lowry, Oscar Otis, and Frank
Ortell, I would be able to knock the
horses dead down here.
Instead, I am now selling flowers,
pencils and shoe laces on a street
corner.
Same in Any Language.
Brazilian horses that you bet on
run just as horses you bet on do in
the States—meaning, they don’t
come in. I am satisfied that a horse
player is a sucker in any language,
any country. I have been taken
here, in Budapest, in London, in
Paris, in Rome and in Prague.
1 went to the Hipodromo da
Gavea with a pocketful of cruzeiros.
I was ready to make a killing. Five
minutes after I had entered the
gates I was in the hands of a tout
who professed to know everything.
At Hialeah, Santa Anita, Belmont
or Arlington Park I would avoid
a tout as I would poison. But not
in Rio. The tout suggested that I
make a good play in the first on
Nacarado. He had to point it out
on the program, since we didn’t
speak the same language. I looked
at the program and it said: “Na
[carado—Preto e bonet encarnado—
6-m. zaino-collarin e Noria 11—
Argentina—Oswaldo Aranha—Levy
rerreira.
That looked mighty good to me.
so I made what amounted to a
plunge for me. My horse ran a
great race, if you happen to be a
sportsman of the first water and
don’t care about winning. He fin
ished a driving seventh, with the
jockey hitting him with everything
but Copacabana Beach.
This went on for seven races. But
I shouldn't be mad. I didn’t know
what the tickets I had meant, so
even if one of my Brazilian beau
ties had managed to win I wouldn’t
have known it.
CUA..1J D.i am Ua4a
The Grande Premio Brazil is
chiefly a fashion show, like the
opening day at Ascot. And it is a
fashion show dedicated to hats.
The Rio gals show off their dresses
and jewels at the opening of the
opera season, and their hats at the
Grande Premio. You never saw
such hats. I saw at least 50.000
hats that would have made Hedda
Hopper's bonnets look like blue felt
berets. Feathers. Flowers. Silk.
Chiffon. Little hats. Big hats.
Bigger hats. Giant hats. How I
wished I had bet on the hats in
stead of the horses.
Let no one tell you that Atlanta,
Dallas. Los Angeles, Montreal, or
any other north side place has the
most beautiful girls in the world.
Rio has. Never have I seen such a
mess of pulchritude. I am mighty
glad that Jean was there to hold
my hand and keep me from making
a fool of myself. I might have just
upped and proposed to one of those
luscious creatures.
Yes, ma’am, Rio is all it is sup
posed to be.
