THE senate’s labor bill is, in almost all respects, better “and fairer than the one passed by the house. ‘We hope the conference committeesnow adjusting dif-

publican congress is, as it should be, to put sound, corrective labor legislation on the statute books this year. It would be a wise withdrawal from an untenable position. No labor measure will become law unless it is either signed by President Truman or passed over a veto by two-to-one majorities in both house and senate. ~ Anything approaching the house bill in severity almost certainly would draw a veto which could not be ovérridden in the senate, The senate bill, in its present form, deserves to-become law. It would have an excellent chance to survive a veto. More than two-thirds of the senators voted for its passage. But it would have lost several supporters if it had béen any tougher than it is. And it cannot keep the support of the two-thirds needed to over-ride a veto if the conference committee puts into it too many of the house bill's teeth. We know all about pride of authorship. But that won't justify the house bill's framers if, by stubborn insistence on saving their handiwork, they succeed only in | prev enting | | enactment of any labor legislation whatever. And that, we think, is all they could possibly accomplish by objecting to a conference report following closely the provisions of “the better senate bill.

REFLECTIONS

NEW YORK, May 23.—A man never knows when he will grow an ulcer which will be standing in the need of nutriment. With that in mind, we have paid a call on Mr. Norton Roth, the restaurant man who is letting a little gastronomic light into the life of the ulcerous. Mr. Roth is a sort of culinary Father Damion to the vast horde of advertising executives and radio producers whose daily chores have bred that symbol of our chaotic: times, the gastric ulcer. An ex-G.

Then he strolls over and gets a short case history of his diners’ stomachie misery.

Events Uncover Facts

BOME OF THE FACTS are known. They were uncovered by events themselves. Others have been hinted at. PBnough is known, however, to make it plain that in, 1939 Russia was playing both ends against the middle. What Stalin wanted was a free hand in eastern Europe. That is said to have been his price for collaborating with France and Britain. But as the British and French were a bit squeamish about bargaining away the independence of the Baltic republics, for instance, the conversations lagged. ’ Hitler was anything but backward about disposing of other peoples’ territory. ‘He let Russia’know that she could have almost anything she wanted in eastern Europe in exchange for a free hand for himself iy central and western Europe.

Expecting the Nazis to be as hard as nails, they were all set to drive a hard bargain. To their surprise, however, agreement came easy. It came in that one session, well before dawn. : ‘Thus while the British and French, in total ignorance, sat in the Kremlin's front parlor patiently waiting for some kind of agreement, the Nazis had sneaked in the back way and obtained just what they wanted-—namely Russias neutrality and 'a green light for war,
