“Imitating Russia

2 THE American delegation to the United Nations followed { ne a bad precedent set by the Russians when it announced 1 "jt would veto anyone but Trygve Lie for secretary general. Eh Such a stand conflicts with the spirit of the United ‘Nations charter. It reflects an arbitrary spirit not becoming to a nation of our political maturity. Five years ago, the United States was hoodwinked fhto nominating Mr. Lie for this office because Russia seemed determined to veto anyone else. Now our delegation ‘is supporting him for re-election, apparently for no better reason than that Russia is against him, which isn’t a very good reason. » . MR. LIE is by no means an indispensable man. On the contrary, this newspaper does not even consider him acceptable for the position. He sought to appease and please Mescow, whenever he could, until the Korean crisis. He lost the Kremlin's favor because of that single deviation, for Moscow accepts nothing less than 100 per cent servility. But that should not entitle Mr. Lie be pliced on a. 4 pinnacle above such men as Carlos ‘PF, Romulowof the Philippines, Dr. Luis Padilla Nervo of ‘Mexico, Lester B. Pearson of Canada or Dr. Charles Malik of Lebanon—who Is not to be confused with Russia's Jacob A. Malik. Five vears ago, Mr. Pearson was the American choice « for secretary general. The Russians would not approve : him. Now, when Russia might find Mr. Pearson acceptable, : our delegation is supporting Mr. Lie because Russia. has . turned against him. : That kind of negative logrolling will not build confi- ‘ dence in the character and stability of American foreign

~ policy.

The Work Week

ILSON, C. E., president of General Motors Corp., says a temporary 45-hour work week would enable indusAry to fill the government’s rearmament orders and also Lturn ott an ample supply of civilian goods. “_. He predicts that shortage of manpower, rather than

production problem. A longer work week, effective only until the emergency ends or armament reaches a safe point, “is the only way to avoid more inflation and at the same time have both guns and butter,” Mr. Wilson contends. if

What he says makes sense, but it will get “tion in official Washington. For labor-union 1 testing bitterly that Mr. Wilson wants to dep protection guaranteed them by the federal

Tea. o » o . =" THIS law provides that employees “more than 40 hours in a week must be/paid for the extra “hours at one and one-half times the normal wage rate. It Tanlies to almost all large industries’ and to many small

ones.

When the Worchon law wag enacted, this country “Was deep in depression and vast/unemployment was the “great national problem. It was, for those times, a good and “Rppropriate law, designed to help spread the available jobs “Among the greatest possible number of workers. This news“paper strongly urged its passage. “>. But in a time of full employment—afid there is every Cfeason to believe the next few years will be such a time— ‘the law has an effect that many of its advocates did not sEnticipate. It impels employers to keep the work week short, and thus avoid paying premium rates for extrd hours, “even though there aren't enough workers for the jobs that “need doing. yw 8 nN 8 DESPITE present tremendous demand for consumer’ "goods and the growing volume of defense orders, the most recent government statistics show the average work week in mgnufacturing industries only slightly above 41 hours. . It exceeded 45 hours, but by a bare 12 minutes, in only one year of World War II. That was 1944. It has been above | 40 hours in only nine months of the booming years of high . employment since the war, afid only since the Korean crisis ' has it passed 41 hours. Mr. Wilson doubtless is correct in believing that strict . application of this law in the period just ahead. will pre- . vert maximum production of defense material and consum- * er goods, and so will Be inflationary.

The Real Issue International Morality e Is Key to China Question

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30—The London Labor

Government's campaign to seat Red China in

the United Nations has reached the point of

ridiculing the standards of international morals,

which Britain helped 30 establian, and of splitting

the British Commonweal In the United aGals. committee debating tests of membership, the London spokesmen resorted to this argument: “Must we always support a moral position? No advantage would be obtained by boycotting or making an outcast of a government of which we do not approve. The practical value of not recognizing a revolutionary government is completely nil.” He was challenged by his Commonwealth

that the international morality test is necessary to save the United Nations.

. Enough Half Truth

THERE is just enough half-truth in the London argument to make it plausibly deceptive to those seeking a face-"aver for more appeasement of Stalin, It is true that there can be no international organization, or indeed peaceful relations generally, if we or any other group boycott governments simply because we disapprove of them. If we tried to penalize all those who do not practice our kind of democracy, there would be ‘véry few governments in the world to which we could speak. Of course that is not the issue. The United States, like Britain and other governments, recognizes and has peaceful relations with many regimes whose origin and internal policies we abhor. The reason for this is both moral and practical. According to American standards and to international ethics, the internal affairs of a nation are its own business, oe

Government Outlaw

. THIS is a moral policy because, thereby, we do to others as we would have them do to us— we object to them interfering in our domestic affairs, and therefore we have no right to mix in theirs. This is a practical policy because the alternative would lead to incessant wars. The test is not whether a government is good or bad at home, wise or unwise, democratic or undemocratic, capitalist or socialist or communist or fascist. The test is whether that government—if it actually is in control of a country — observes international law and its treaty pledges, or whether it threatens others’ rights and world peace, That government is an outlaw which outlaws itself by aggression. The Red China regime outlawed itself as a puppe’ fifth column and invader of China. And by tearing up China's international treaties, and by violating American and other legal rights in that country. And by the crime of providing & base of aggression against the Korean Re-

public. And by the same crime against Indohind. And now by aggression against little bet. - ’ :

Limiting Factor

“PRACTICAL” or not, “moral” or not, subject to cynical idicule or not, the British Government helped to.write into the United Nations

Charter an anti-aggression pact. That limits -

United Nations membership to “peace-loving states which accept the obligations centained in the present charter and which, in the judgment of the organization, are able and willing to carry out these obligations.” In justice to the British government, this t be added: It has sent somé of its sons to X: a to die In “support of moral position” and is generally the most ardent advocate.of international moral

Clear Thought Needed

. By Theodore B. Marshall, 1114 Tecumseh St. OUR politicians are really getting warmed up in their endeavor to confuse the voters on the issues. No one is wrong except the fellow on the other side and he is never right. This will continue ‘until the common man learns to use the power that is given to all men, but which 80 few have learned to use, the power to think clearly for oneself. In this way only, will man reach the goal he has been seeking since social organization began on a large scale,

Appeasement Fails Again

NDIA’S Premier Nehru seems to have made the belated discovery that there are no dividends but grief from a * policy of appeasing communism.

Alarmed by the report that Red Chinese troops have “invaded autonomous Tibet, which. separates India from Red China, the Indian government is understood to have ‘instructed its delegation to the United Nations to make no further efforts to seat the Chinese Communists in the United Nations until the Tibetan situation has been clarified. Until now it has been the Indian position that giving China's seat in the United Nations to the Reds would solve most of the problems in the Far East,
