- Nightmare for Lobbyists
BY PETER EDSON :
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON. — The high-pressure boys of
Washington are worried. What bothers them is “The
Federal Regulation of Lobbying Aet” which slipped
through almost unchallenged in the new reorgani
zation plan for Congress.
The act looks simple enough on paper. But when
press agents, corporation lawyers, trade associaticn
representatives, and the paid agents of organized do
‘good societies try to fit their own operations into the
bill, a hundred questions arise. Nobody today knows
the answers—not even the people who wrote the
thing. It will take time and probably some court
tests, to decide whom the law covers and how.
' Section 307 of the act says that it applies to any
person who in any way solicits or receives money
1o influence legislation or federal elections. Anyone
making an open appearance before a congressional
eommittee would be exempt if he confined his
lobbying to that. Public officials acting in an official
capacity would be exempt,
. «political committees,” as defined by the Hatch
Act, and state or local political party committees
are also exempt.
" But is the CIO Political Action Committee a Hatch
Act political committee, and is it, therefore, exempt?
It can’t be denied that PAC and similar outfits try
to influence legislation and elections.
LOBBYISTS MUST REGISTER EVERY THREE
QIONTHS
¢ The lobbying act provides that every person who
gets money to influence elections or legislation
must register every three months with the Secretary
of the Senate and the Clerk of the House. Further
{hore, every such person must file a financial state
ment showing all receipts, with the name and ad
dress of every contributor of over SSOO included.
. These statements must be filed between the first
ind the tenth of January, April, July, and October.
They must be cumulative, showing all receipts from
every source during a calendar year.
i But this is only the beginning. Every person seek
ing to influence legislation or election must keep
books showing all expenditures, itemizing every.
expense of over $lO. These expnse-account records
must be filed with the Clerk of the House and kept
§vpen for public inspection for.two years. :
+ 'The final blow is that these financial statemenis
dre to be published in the Congressional Record
every three months. On the days these statements
appear, it’s a good bet the Record will be thicker
than a metropolitan phone-book. Before the war
fhere were only about 400 known and open lob
byists. Today the number is close to 4000.
. Their new accounting to Congress must show even
the names of any publication in which lobbyists
have caused anything to be printed, and the legis
lation such publication sought to influence.
NEWSPAPERS AND RADIO STATIONS ARE. ;
EXEMPT ;
Newspapers and other publications dealing in
current comment on legislation and elections arc
exempt. Presumably, radio stations are, too, though
they’re not mentioned specifically.
An individual citizen sending a wire to his con
gressman telling the big bum to vote for or against
a certain bill would not be considered a lobbyist.
A group of citizens sending Congress a petition
would be exempt.
- But anybody who influenced a lot of citizens tol
wire or petition their congressmen, and who was
paid for his efforts, would have to register and re
port on his salary and expenses. |
- In -an official statement on the lobbying act,
Senator Robert M. LaFollette of Wisconsin declared,
#lt does not apply to organizations formed for other
«flurposes, whose efforts to influence legislation are
merely incidental to the purpose for which formed.”
* Can the Association of American Railroads, the
American Farm Bureau, the National Association
})f Real Estate Boards, the American Federation of ‘
ILabor and other such outfits win exemption on the
grounds that their lobbying activities are merely
4ncidental to their fundamental purposes? Maybe
they can, but their congressional liaison-men, who
tramp the halls of Congress to influence laws, had
better register, . g
- United Foreign Policy
It has been suggested that Sen. Warren R. Austin
‘be appointed an Undersecretary of State or elevated
to a Cabinet post when he assumes his duties as
this country’s chief delegate to the United Nations.
The suggestion, though Republican in origin, seems
logical, desirable and untinged by politics. Further,
it is likely to find favor with President Truman as
well as Congress.
Such a move would be consistent with the bipar
tisan, or rather nonpartisan, complexion of our
foreign policy. This lack of political division on
international affairs is certainly one of the happiest
pages in the current history of our foreign relations.
That history is not unclouded, but at least there is
now no fear that the United States will repeat the
unfortunate chain of events which followed the first
World War. i
Credit must be given to the men and women of
both parties who have refused to make political
capital of mistakes of judgment and potential divi
sions of public sentiment. But a large- share of that
credit is due Mr. Truman, whose shrewd appoint
ments have paid off handsomely.
Perhaps it should be said thai a precedent was
set for him by the late President Roosevelt, who ap
pointed the prominent young Republican liberal
!Harold Stassen as a delegate to the UN meeting in
‘San Francisco. ' It should be added, however, that
Mr. Stassen achieved his place of prominence at
that meeting rather through his own talents than
through special consideration. 3 N
Mr. Truman’s political wisdom led him to name
Republican Sen. Arthur Vandenberg as Secretary
Byrnes’ associate and adviser, along with Demo
cratic Sen. Tom Connally, in the Big ¥Four foreign
ministers’ negotiations. This has resulted in unde
viating support of Mr. Byrnes by one of the most
respected, able, and persuasive members of the Re
publican Senate delegation.
Then, in appointing the equally able and respect
ed Senator Austin to his important seat at the Unit
ed Nations conference table, Mr. Truman assigned
to the Republican Party a further active responsi
bility in the nation’s external affairs. '
In this connection it is hard to avoid a rueful
speculation on what might have happened if Wood
row Wilson had shown the same political wisdom.
But instead of listening to the sensible advice that
he choose such-outstanding Republicans as Lodge,
Taft; Hughes or Borah, he picked an aging and ob
scure 'diplomat named Henry White as the chief
Republican representative in the American dele
gation to the Paris peace conference of 1919.
This snub, which Lodge and Borah felt keenly,
probably accounted for much of the bitterness with
which they attacked and defeated the League of
Nations in Congress.
A similar mistake today might have had even
more dire consequences. Instead, we have the
spectacle of alinost unanimous public support of the
American government’s program for world justice
and world peace. And for this both the nation and
the world have cause to be thankful.
Essential Purchases
The British government has begun to spend some
of its $300,000,000 credit from America in this coun
try, says a news story, for “‘essential purchases’
such as dried eggs, cotton, motion picture films,
wheat and other food itegns.” . . . . 5 g
There is something for thé scoffer at the cinema
to ponder. Among the stark necessities for a hungry,
threadbaréd nation, even ahead of such stark necessi
ties as shelter and the tools of industry, stands the
motion picture film.
The story does not state whether the film is the
finished Hollywood product or the raw material for
British movies. Nor does it matter particularly. What
is important is that the British government, aware
of its citizens’ utter weariness of austerity living,
has recognized the need of entertainment and
escape in large doses. *
The building materials and machine tools can
come later, when America has filled her own needs
and has a surplus to sell. Meanwhile Britain will
make bricks without straw. But her people, ill
housed, ill-clothed, ill-fed though they may be, will
have their quota of hours for absorption in the
inconsequential romancing, music, color and jokes
of our average movie fare. i
It may not make good common sense. But we'll
bet that there will be a minimum of complaint
from the British citzenry who know as well as we
the sad effect that all work and no play has upon
Jack.
America and Russia, rich in men and resources,
compact in territory, naturally protected, seem in
vited to an expansion that, according to eternal cus
tom, wraps itself in doctrine, but that in the last
resort is an unfolding of power.—Charles De Gaulle.
The Soviet Union will continue to build a strong
lnavy and strengthen its naval might in the interests
Fof security and independence.—Red Navy Vice-
Adml. Abankin. o
We have seen so much and cheered the wrong
people so often, there is not much sense in cheering.
—French veteran outside Paris Peace Conference.
Tt is high time we became hardboiled about our
determination to have lasting peace through intex:-
national teamwork.—John Stelle, national com
mander American Legion.
Rising prices cannot be expected to bring a flood
of goods into the market. The economy is too close
to full production to allow a significant overall’in
crease in output except through increased man-hour
productivity —CPA Administrator John D. Small.
Only as the leaders of Moscow become convinced
that their present expansionist, unilateral policy
‘has earned the condemnation of the labor-liberal
forces of the world will they be disposed to abandon
‘it for a more honest, cooperative policy.—Dr.
‘John L. Childs, New York State Liberal . Party
}chairman.

' Americans accept change as normal, but they live
rin terms of an ideal state of society, a dream to
which they cling tenaciously. Only by .including
other people’'s dreams within ours can we accept
tthem as part of a future world—Dr. Margaret
Mead, American Museum of Natural History an
thropologist.
e
Our country is capable of maintaining an economy
free from the evils of both inflation and deflation.
