New 'Do-Nothing” Congress
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Corvespondent .
WASHINGTON-—Democratic congressmen are
pasging around the word that Republican majori
ties in Congress have adopted a “Do-nothing” pro=-
gram. This is being cited as one reason why Pre=
sident Truman can afford to take off the month of
March to visit Mexico and the Caribbean islands.
According to this version, the Republican strategy
follows the line that if Congress does nothing, the
country will have a chance to recover from Demo
cratic administrations that tried to do too much.
This is merely another way of stating the old GOP
platform promise to have “less government in busi
ness.” Take off the controls, give free enterprise
a free rein, and everything will be dandy.
From a political point of view, it can also be
argued that by not doing anything this year, the
Republicans will have that much more to do and
take credit for in 1948, the presidential election
year, ;
All this adds up to make z plausible political
dope story. Only trouble widh it is that it isn’t an
accurgte picture of what’s going on,
GOP leaders say they want to avoid hasty legis~
lation. It is a matter of record that no new Con
gress ever got organized fast enough to pass any
major legislation before April 1. Eauly in March,
the Republican Senate at least will start holding
both afterncon session on #¥riday, Tuesday and
Thursday will be left dfor committee meetings. On
this schedule, the New Congress hopes to have three
important accomplishments to its credit by April
32 .
1. Cut the budget by from three to six billion
dollars and balance it at the new low level.
2. That will provide promised economies and
make room for possible tax cuts. They may not be
as-large as the flat 20 per cent originally promised,
but they will be something,
¢ 3. An anti-strike bill of some kind will be pass
e’El'ln addition, Republican Senate leader Taft has
promised renewal of sugar, rubber, and other
carce commodity controls, a portal pay bill, a two
term limit on the presidency and possibly a presi
dential succession bill.
Congress will then have four months in which to
do other things. Here again Taft has an ambitious
Pprogram. It includes passage of a new housing bill,
a national health bill, an aid to education bill, and
extension of social security coverage.
. Ratification of the peace treaties and other inter
national affairs will take wup considerable time.
Unification of the armed services will also come
up. But the bill to effect this has not yet been draft
ed by ghe War and Navy Departments.
There are a number of other important matters
which may not be handled in the present session
of Congress, and here there is some ground for the
“Do-nothing” criticism. - .
Writing of a new farm program is being deli
berately postponed till next year. It now appears
that revision of the reciprocal trade program and
the tariff will be put off till next year, though a
ntimber of throwback Republicans would like to
make speeches about it. Neither of these measures
has to be handled because present laws and pro
grams carry through 1948.
The Wagner Act may not be revised this year.
Senator Taft’s idea is that there should be more
study before there is action. =
The Republicans gave the President’s first eco
nomic report a curt brush-off. Matters which should
have had more attention include planning for
scientific research, public works, regional develop
ment through valley authorities, anti-trust action,
encouragement of small business, the combating of
business cycles which cause booms and depression.
The first through railroad train operated across
the United States ffom the Atlantic to the Pacific
was an excursion frain sponsored by the Boston
Board of Trade in May, 1870.
Hunting authorities agree that the best way to
compute the “live” weight of a dead deer is to con=
sider the weight of a dressed deer as 78612 of the
“live" weight, = % ;
APATHY AND CROOKED POLITICS
Can a man go into politics and remain
honest? According to a recent poll, cited
by theNew York Times’ Lester Markel in
a speech before a group of schoolteachers,
50 percent of those questioned answered
no. And 67 percent said that they did not
‘want their children to go into polities.
~ There is, as Mr. Markel said, “some
thing wrong, very wrong with our view
point.”” Why?
Theoretically, a political career is one
of the highest goals that a citizen could
aspire to. Theoretically, it offers an op
portginity to perform eminent publie serv
ice and gain public esteem. Yet, too often
the Word politician is spoken cynically.
I The reasons for this are no mystery.
| Few public offices offer much salary. But
many of them open the door on an invit
ing thance for graft. -
| Despotic individuals and groups have
organized machines to control the vote,
continue in office, and perpetuate graft.
Som# machines have protected vice,
crime, and racketeering and have profited
thereby.
It is these cases that come to mind
when people sneer at the word politician.
Yet few of them look squarely at the un
derl¢ing causes. Mr. Markel correctly de
fined them as gullibility, apathy, and bias.
| The first and last are veflected in ptb
lic acceptance of politicians’ cigars, com
'pliments, beer, barbecues, and empty
promises, and of the inflammatory ap
peald of a Bilbo or a Talmadge to the
“wool hat” mentality.
These, however, are less prevalent and
less serious than public apathy. The atti
|tude of “Oh, well, politicians are a bunch
lof crooks and what can you do about it?”
probably has had more to do with keep
ing crooked politiciaris in power than
anything else.
"There is something that Americans can
do about it, even though some will always
|be gullible and apathetic. The more en
lightened have the obligation to exercise
their democratic rights more actively. It
is not enough to turn out dishonest or in
competent bosses and office holders. The
hard job is to keep them from returning. |
It iz a job for the citizen as parent and
‘teacher as well as voter. Not only should
he strive for honest, efficient, democratic
| government. He should also try to: give
iback to politics its rightful good name.
Who directed the course of our nat
jonal, and much of our individual, life in
lthe past few critical years? They were
men like FRanklin Roosevelt, Harry Tru
man, James Byrnes, Fred Vinson, Arthur
Vandenberg, Tom Connally, - and Paul
McNutt. All were professional politicians
and undoubtedly proud of it.
‘ Their competence or incompetence, and
'that of their successors in the ecritical
'years ahead, comes right back to the vot
ers: Only the voters can restore and pre
cerve the integrity, dignity, and honor of
a political career and make it desirable
'enough to attract the highest type of citi

l TOWARD PEACE BY LAW
[ Lawyers from 22 nations last week
formed the [nternational Bar Asgociation.
Their first goal is to affiliate with the
United Naticns and assist it, in a consul:
tative capacity, with the legal aspects of
|of international co-operation. o
‘ In general the group’s program seems
to be aimed at simplifying and unifying
some basic procedures, and at offering
world citizens protection from certain in
equities.
This appears to be another step toward
international maintenance of peace and
justice by law rather than by treaty. The
concept of a legal world authority over
these vital matters is gaining strength.
l The growth of this concept is perhaps
one of the most hopeful aspects of the
~ United Nations’ brief history. So long as
;it continues the UN’s difficulties seem
less discouraging.
Unless we reduce our debt when busi
ness is good, we shall never reduce it at
any other time.—Senator Irving M. Ives
(R) of New York.
Shortages of capital goods an an ample
supply of funds may contribute in the
future to an excessive investment boom
such as we experienced in the 1920’5.—
Dr. Thomas Norton, School of Business
dean, City College of New York.
It is folly for anyone to talk about wip
ing out the Wagner Act altogether, pass
ing laws absolutely prohibiting all strikes
and taking similar drastic all-out steps.—
Rep. Charles A. Halleck (R) of Indiana.
I'm proud of the Missouri coterie I have
with me. They also are making a coniri
bution to the country’s welfare. — Presi
dent Truman,
1 have been trying to persuade people
to come here. When they get ‘here the
first thing they are told is to report to the
police. That just disgusts me. — Lord
Hacking, British Travel Association.. .
There is no air, ground or sea warfare.
There is tactical force applied to a prob
lem.—General Eisenhower,
Nothing that I can see has yet emerged
from the discussiont and decisions of the
Security Council or General Assembly
that encourages me to believe in the effis
cacy of the crganization as a reliable pre
server of peace.—General H. D. C. Cre

Chief. 5 -
