"Byrnes Strikes
Back At Hurley
' at
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 ()
Secretary of State Byrnes hit
back sharply at MaJ. Gen. Pat
rick J. Hurley today for his at
tacks on state department
foreign service diplomats, ana
asserted that Hurley had failed
to sustain his charges.
Byrnes appeared before the
senate foreign relations commit
tee which has been looking into
the background of Hurley's
abrupt and dramatic resignation
last week as ambassador to
China.
Byrnes specifically upheld the
two "career men" whom Hurley
has charged with seeking to
sabotage his efforts to bring
about a unified China while
he held the Chungking post
Hurley assailed this conduct as
"disloyalty."
The secretary of state told the
committee:
No Evidence
"Ambassador Hurley has not
lurmshed me, nor do I under
stand that he has furnished the
committee, any specific evidence
to prove that an employe was
suilty of such conduct."
Hurley was in the audience as
Byrnes began his testimony and
listened intently from a front
row seat.
Byrnes also challenged Hur
ley's assertion that during his
service as ambassador to Chung'
king, he had been unable to get
a public statement of American
policy toward China from Presi-
dent Truman or secretary
.Byrnes or other ranking officials.
- Appearing before the senate
foreign relations committee
which is hearing evidence on
. Hurley's resignation of the
China post last week, Byrnes
said that Hurley had never asked
him for such a statement nor
made a written request for it to
the state department so far as
Byrnes had been able to find
out.
Truman Quisled
; The secretary said he also
asked President Truman whether
Hurley requested a China policy
statement from him and the
president, "does not recall such
a request."
Byrnes appeared before the
committee after Hurley had
spent two days attacking state
department career diplomats and
specifically accusing George
Atcheson and John Service,
formerly on duty in China, of
having worked against Hurley's
efforts to unify the Chinese
central government and -the Chi
nese communists.
Byrnes said that "in my opin
ion, based upon the information
which has thus far been pre
sented to me, there is nothing"
in rlnroimnntc written tiv Atnh.
eson and Service while in China
"to support , the charge that
either Mr. Atcheson or Mr. Serv
ice was guilty of the slightest
disloyalty to his superior of
ficers." The secretary of state declared
that while every American
foreign service officer must ad
minister "the declared policy of
his government" he should "not
hesitate to express his views"
when he believes changed con
ditions require it
Before Byrnes opened his
testimony. Chairman Tom Con
nally (D-Tex.) said Hurley would
be recalled before a subsequent
session of the committee to am
plify his contention that Under
secretary of State Dean Acheson
"defeated" American foreign
policy in Iran.

This is a decrease of .644 ner
cent under November, 1944,
wnen receipts amounted to $19,

LONDON, Dec. 7 (P) The
major assault against tho: now
labor government by me con
scrvatives, under the leadership
of former Prune Minister win.
ston Churchill,
didn't get the
Tories very
far a result
which the vet
eran general
issimo of
course had ex
pected, since it
was a fore
gone conclu
sion that the
socialists
would defeat
the motion of
censure by a smashing mnioritv.
I sut in the commons gallery
during the two-day debate and,
while Churchill's pcrsonul con
tribution was impressive for Its
superb craftsmanship, it struck
me that it didn't carry the con
viction we've been used to get
ting from him. Still, it was like
old times to watch him in action
again on the floor of the house,
as I first did 30 years ago.
Let's sec, he would have been
in his happy forties then a nice
age at thot, when you're old
enough to have acquired wisdom
and still young enough to want
to climb fences. Churchill hasn't
lost any of his punch with pass
ing time, and the laborites lis
tened to him with vast respect,
but I'm afraid he was trying to
lay bricks with very thin mortar.
However, that's neither here
nor there. What we are con
cerned with is the significance of
this reaffirmation of socialist
strength. Where do we go from
here?
Well, there can be no doubt
that this battle royal will give
the laborites further confidence
in pursuing their program of na
tionalization which the conserva
tives declare means regimenta
tion of the individual and infla
tion. Whatever the reol mean
ing may be, the government un
doubtedly -is determined to keep
forging ahead in molding a so
cialist state during its five years
of office, for it has its mandate
from the voters.
We must recognize that the
working people, and many of
the middle class as well, are de
termined on betterment of their
way of life. Workers such as
the vast army of coal miners,
who for generations have been
terribly under-privileged, never
will abandon their fight. 1
