Wallace Backfires Again |
BY PETER EDSON
NiA Washington Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. — What makes Henry Wallace
say the things he does will always be one of the
greal miysSieries of Washington,
The ‘man is unquestionably one of the ablest
politica! philosophers of modern times. But his
sense of timine or something is off so frequently
that his sparks of wisdom backfire. They make
nice explosions, but they get Henry into no end‘
of trouble.
Given any bad political situation, Wallace canl
be counted on tersee that it is bad and to focus‘
national attentiomi on it by saying exactly the
wrong thing at precisely the correct moment. ‘
That's the waysit is with Wallace’s latest wise
cracl about wanting to expel from the party any
' congressman who does not follow the party line
on a fundamental issue.
What Wallace-was shooting at are some pf the
worst shuses in American government. The abso
lute mcaninglessness of both Democratic and Re
publican party platforms. The utter irresponsibil
ity of both party machines. And more specifically,
the appavent inability of Democratic members of
Congress to-get going on President Truman's post
war program. | ”
In three months of wrangling, Congress has
completed action on only one major issue —the
“31l emplovment bill. Hearings, debate, and bick
ering still go on over extension of stabilization
sontrols, soctal seeurity referm, labor legislation,
unification of the armed “services, atomic energy
' pontrel, housing, and so on. {
lmbryo Coalition Ties Up Congress g
Further tving up congressional action is an em
brvo coalition of southern Democrats and northern
Republicans which, if it is ever really born, may
well srow up to wreck the Democratic party. No
wonder Wallace and other Democratic leaders are|
nlarmed, snd ready for-drastic action even to the
extent of proposing to purge from the party or
panization all dissenters, denying them the benefit
of the party label in re-election contests unless
they follow the party line on major issues. s
Such a svstem -as Wallace proposes would, of
course. ruin any chance for non-partisan politi
eal action or for independent voting on national
josues. And freedom from machine-dominated
politics has .long been sought as the ideal of
ciraishi-ihinking independents who put country
above *pari¥. : §ly 2
The; good that Wallace's blast may dO."h.OW'
ever, is {o call more attention to proposals made
by the Joint Committée bn Congressional Organ
ization as insiruments for building up party re
sponsibility, After a year's study of what was
wrong: vwith Congress, this 12-man committee,
headed b¥ :Sr“r&‘.:flobefl M. LaFollette of Wisx‘
conein and Congressman Mike Monroney of Okla~
homa, came uwp Wwith three suggestions for in=-
creasing the importance of party platforms and of
Congressional “Policy Committees” Recommended
First. the taFollette-Monroney Committee rec
ommends replacing she present ineffective and
celdom - convened Steering Committee of the two
parties in the House and Senate with four seven
* man “Policy Cemmittees.” On national issues
where paiiy policy was involved, the decisions of
. ihese : Palicy Committees would be formally an
nounc ‘t.hd made & part of the public record of
the :fic&eflm@ of Congress. Thus the voters
_ would''know where each party stood.
‘Second; . the LaFollette-oMonroney repost rec
ommends, that the majorjty party’s Policy Com
mitteees of the House and Senate should meet
regularl¥ with the 'President and his cabinet
mém s aa Joint Legislative-Executive Coun
cil, to{formulate party policy on new issues arising
Finally, the report recommends that the four
Polic)’f‘Cflmu)ittees each be given an appropria
tion of $30,000 a year—a total of only $120,000—
with which to pay a secretary and staff to keep
the party records and to assist in the study and
' analysis of problems connected with party poliey
s S )
The Dispossessed
By what are ecalled civilized standards, Bikini
Atoll wasn’t much of a place to set up housckeep
ing. It was shy on topsoil and altitude, and there
was always the possibility of a tidal wave sweep
ing inhabitants and dwellings into the sea.
But most Bikinians probably would echo the
sentiment of the elderly and diffident resident of
the Walderf-Astoria whe said to an out-of-town
friend, as they entered the lobby, “It isn’t much,
but I call it home.” The natives are used to the
place. They tolerated its vagaries and appreciated
its comforts.
_Now they are gone, bag and baggage. We have
been looking at the pictures taken just before
their departure. The people appeared confused
and unhappy, from King Juda on down to the
breech-clouted infants. .
* And as we looked at them, we had the uncom
fortable feeling that their expression could be
come typical of the atomic age, unless the world’s
leaders acquire, quickly and permanéntly, more
good sense than any world leaders haye. shown
before. i siee £ Sl
For the Bikinians are the first people to: be
uprooted and dispossessed by the atomic bomb.
They were lucky, of course. Thev didn’t see the
bomb coming, but those who did were Kkind
enough to come and lexplain the situation care
fully, then take them by the hand and lead them
away to safety.
The rest of the world will not be so fortunate,
unless both war and the atomic bomb are out
lawed through agreements oif mutual sincerity and
good will. If war ~ should ever threaten again,
there would be no advance warning for the peo
ple of Detroit, Caleutta, Vladivostok, or wherever.
The Bikinians’ uncasy expression—the knit brows
and apprehensive eyes—would become a sort of
universal mask.
The earth’s billions would cast about them in
cold desperation for a place of safety. First the
dwellers in the likely target cities, then everyone.
And there would be no place to go.
It is significant that these early vietims of the
atomic age lived on that handy and hardy symbol
of escapism, a South Sea isle. On such an isle,
palm-fringed, sun-warmed and sea-girdled, where
fevered effort and frantic competition were out
lawed, people used to dream of “getting away
from it all.”
But the Bikinians were getting away from
something specific. Their remote, insignificant
strip of coral is now charted on maps and minds
as the No. 1 danger spot of dry land on the face
of the globe. ;
If the threat of war should grow with the pro
gress of science, every piece so land on this planet
could come to enjoy Bikini’s temporary and du
bious distinction. With a force that knows no
earthly bounds carried in a missile which knows
no limits of distance or location (and this would
surely airive) safety would be an eventual im
possibility.
There is only one escape — in the hearts and
minds of the political and military leaders who
make The decisions and guide the destinies of their
fellow creatures in this alleged age of the intelli
gnnt, emancipated, and individualistic man,
Where Has He Been?
New York state’s industrial commissioner, in the .
course of figuring unemployment insurance tax
rates for proprietors of eating and drinking
places, has worked out a scéhedule of tips for ¢
waiters which he thinks proper for tax purposes
and, apparently, for the custmoer as well,
He suggests a 712 percent tip for food and bev
erage service at tables, and a 5 percent tip for
counter and drug store service.
The commissioner, obviously, didn’t eat out
much during the war. Either that or he is pos
sessed of a tough hide and a charmed life. All but
the most cloistered must surely have learned by
now shat the tradNonal 10 percent gratuity earns ‘
the giver a sneei at best, and is accompanied by
the reasonable likelihood of getting a eup of coffee
down his miserly neck or the chair pulled out
from under him to speed his departure.
No Plan for Palestine
The British government seems to have rejected
the plan American engineers’ suggested for settling
the long-unsolved Palestinian dispute by the de
velopment of irrigation and water power. The
British attitude is reported to be that the required
money could be spent better elsewhere, and that
‘the Arab-Jewish quarrel creates a bad’ atmosphere
for the proposal:
This seems a rather lame dismissal of a plausi
ble suggestion. There are, of course, reasons for
the violent disagreements in Palestine other than
the ability of the land to support a greatly ihcreased
“population. But if the land could be returned to
fiiitful abundanee, a way might be opened for set
tlement of* the political and religious disputes.
“In Old Testament times Palestine blossomed like
the rose. Neglect and c:osion brought it to its pres
iént barren state. American engineers who have
‘*stu‘d.ied the country believe that, t\hmggh terrac
ing and irrigation, the desert cogld i)c‘, made to
l ploom again. They point to the fact that Zionjst
settlers have already made a good start in that di-~
rection.
It seems a pity if the British, confronted with
an apparently insoluble- situation, are -ready to
give up on a semsible and hopeful ‘scheme without
even a try. x ey vk
It will not be many. days before egmmercial as

or* landing fields closed. to approaching aircraft,
because of weather conditions. Flight schedules
will be maintained safely. Foo .
Russia’s whole foreign policy, as I see it, is
founded on a desire -for -security—President
Eduard Benes of Czechoslovakia. 1

makes a mistake, but she never does. He may
dance before a female of the wrong species. If he
does, she eats him. Sometimes if he has not danced
long enough or energetically enough, she eats him
anyway.—Miss Jocelyn Crane, New York Zoologi
cal Society researcher. 6
Our policy in recent months has beer one of
shameful neglect. —Paul V. McNutt, Philippines
