Morse Scores With Point on Atlantic Pact
Senator Morse of Oregon has been criticized from time
to time for his heckling tactics among republicans in the
United States Senate. His legal training has equipped him
with a readiness to throw legal barbs into, or to ask search
ing questions of, his colleagues' proposals.
A recent action of his followed his skillful route of cut
ting in with a basic question. His point deserves recogni
tion. This action was highly constructive, and a service
to the country. Morse, himself, considered it his most sig
nificant contribution since he has been in the senate, with
the possible exception of a resolution on the world court.
While the senate was deep in discussion of what the At
lantic pact would mean to the United States, Morse inter
rupted the thinking of some of his colleagues. He intro
duced the question of moral obligation that went with a
signing of the pact. Dulles and some others had contended
that legal obligations of the treaty were the only obliga
tions binding on the nation. Morse contended that the
treaty is no stronger than its moral obligation, which, in
the case of the pact, amounted to the providing of mili
tary aid as one of the means of implementing the treaty.
By his action, he cautioned his fellow senators on any
attempt to sell the country on the idea that furnishing
military aid is separate and distinct from any obligation
under the treaty. As a result, when the senate voted on
the Atlantic pact, he had given them due notice of the
implications of the treaty.
Morse's approach to the question of backing up the
treaty with arms aid is an expression of awareness of what
United States responsibility amounts to in the world today.
Senator Vandenberg joined Morse in putting it this way:
"There is no obligation except the very Important obligation
of honesty and honorably living up to the responsibility which
we accept as a co-partner in the mutual defense of the north
Atlantic area."
Morse described any attempt to sidestep the moral re
sponsibility that went along with the legal one as a "play
upon words." Oregon's junior senator explained:
"I say we pledge ourselves to cooperate in good faith, in the
negotiations relative to the area defense council, in building up
such military defenses as the council concludes are necessary
to be provided in order to carry out the very purpose of the
treaty by supplying such defenses and security as can be pro
vided, through military channels."
Union Curbs Urged in Anti-Trust Laws
Thurman Arnold, who was head of the anti-trust divi
, sion of the department of justice from 1938 to 1943, and
largely responsible for the present attitude of the govern
ment towards monopoly and the anti-trust litigation, tes
tified last week before the senate banking and currency
committee that "it is a very dangerous thing to permit
labor unions to monopolize the labor supply without any
. curbs whatsoever." .He urged congress to take steps
. to bring unions under the anti-trust statutes and let the
court decide the issues in each case.
Mr. Arnold said he would define these objectives in
the Clayton Act and that restriction of production, which
was not a legitimate objective in his opinion, should be
prohibited under the Sherman Act. He added that if the
United Mine Workers could limit production in the soft
coal industry, other unions could restrict construction or
output of other products. "The situation," he said, "was
a dangerous one."
The committee is inquiring into the economic power of
unions, particularly in the coal industry, which is limited
to operations on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday east of
the Mississippi river because the United Mine Workers
has ordered its members to work a three-day week. The
danger lay in the inclination of the employer to acquiesce
in a union pian to limit production for the purpose of rais
ing prices and thereby raising wages. He continued :
"The bill should name some illegitimate practices a strike
to exclude outside goods, a strike to exclude efficient methods,
a refusal to allow independent firms to remain in business,"
he continued. He said he thought the law should admit that
a legitimate purpose of labor unions was to monopolize the
labor supply but that the unions should be enjoined from seek
ing ends that were not legitimate."
The situation in the coal industry, where Lewis has put
his men on a three-day week pending agreement with man
agement on a new union contract, illustrates how such a
conspiracy to control production and prices, can be put into
effect under our anti-trust laws and decisions of the
' upreme court exempting unions from the anti-trust laws.
Abolishing the Poll-Tax
The house of representatives for the fifth time in recent
years has passed by a vote of 273 to 116 a bill outlawing
the poll-tax as a requirement for voting in primary or na
tional elections for federal officials. The other four times
in 1942, 1943, 1945 and 1947 the legislation was killed
in the senate without a vote, by filibuster or threat of one.
A similar snag may strike the present bill by a senate minor
ity of die-hard Dixiecrats and thus again deny to some
United States citizens, white as well as colored, the ele
mental right to vote without paying a tax to do so.
Poll-tax repeal was one of the late President Roosevelt's
musts in his New Deal platform as well as in Mr. Truman's
Fair Deal. It is the least controversial of the several major
features in his civil rights program sent to congress a year
and a half ago.
Southern democrats, led by the representatives of the
seven poll-tax states Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia were the
principal opponents of the bill.
But on the final vote even the representation from the
poll-tax states was not solid in opposition. Ninety-two
democrats, all but seven of them from the south, and 24
republicans were recorded in the negative. One hundred
fifty-one democrats, 121 republicans and one American la
borite voted for the bill.
The southerners fought the bill chiefly on the grounds
of constitutionality, holding that it was a matter for the
Btates or for an amendment to the constitution.
The poll-tax is undemocratic in principle and practice, a
discriminatory weapon against both the Negro and the
poor white of the seven states, an aid to the political ma
chines in the purchase of votes, and as remarked in the
debate, is used "to enfranchise the dishonest poor and to
disenfranchise the honest poor."
The house has now five times decisively held that anti-poll-tax
legislation is constitutional, and if it was permit.
Jed to come jjolje, the, senate would similarly hold. After
A all, the luprems court will decide thii issue not congress.

DULLES' NEW JOB
It may or may not have been
significant, but John Foster Dul

to the senate committee govern

In voteless Washington this
means that he will have a great
deal to say about governing
Washington including its pub

Significantly, it happens that
the Dulles law firm, Sullivan

the Washington Gas Light com

tric company, also for the Wash

which owns the Capital Transit
Co.

Dulles was appointed to the Dis

these utilities are asking for
rate increases, while the Wash

proposes the sale of its 44 per
cent interest in the Capital
Transit Co. to outside interests.

it should be noted that he

Waitt wanted to continue in his
lush Washington office in which
after quite a howl he had
just installed a new tile bath

etc.
So General Waitt, appreciat
ing Lobbyist Hunt's friendship
with General Vaughan, and also
appreciating General Vaughan's
power around the White House,
asked Hunt's help in securing
his reappointment. Hunt in
turn proposed that General
Waitt dictate a memorandum
which Hunt would then send to
General Vaughan.
This General Waitt did, using
Hunt's secretary. The memo-
