In Invitation to irrv/tl
The Senate should accept promptly the
American China Policy Association's invita
tion to investigate it . . .
It should look specifically into the activi
ties of Alfred Kohlberg, who apparently is
the real power in the American China Policy :
Associat ion.
Mr. Kohlberg organized the association.
He finances it. Its headquarters are in his
office. He charges off part of its expenses
against his business operations importing
textiles from China. . . .
A Senate investigation should find out in
revealing detail what Mr. Kohlberg does to
influence opinion and legislation in favor of
Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist Government
if government it can still be called.
What are his activities with respect to in
fluencing members of Congress? He has con
firmed reports that he has been feeding ms- j
tonal to Senator McCarthy of Wisconsin for
the latter’s vicious attacks on the State De
partment. He verified that he has supplied
material to fascist-admiring, ex-Father
Coughlinite William .) Goodwin, who was a
paid, registered foreign agent of the Chiang
Kai-shek “government" (Goodwin re
signed. he said, after the spotlight was
turned on his activities in the McCarthy 1
case). I
Du not Mi Kohl boil's highly organized
eflorts to bring pressure on Congress, in bc
hall of more American millions for Chiang,
constitute lobbying? If so, shouldn’t he be
prosecuted for failing to register under the
Registration of Lobbying Act?
Have lawyers anil others with political
influence been retained at fat fees to do
jobs for Nationalist China so that their sen
timents would naturally — be pro-Chiang
whenever the matter came up? If so, what
does Mr. Kohlberg, who knows all about
vbat jhe Cm.ted States should, do in China,
know about that'.' St. Louis Lost Dispatch •

Feeding on the Absence of Reforms
It is something to be against the isms, but
it is something to be against the things that
the isms feed on.
The record of the isms is that they have
flourished in the absence of reforms.
When the farmer experiences one crop
failure, he tightens his belt and renews the
fight. If prices are low one years, it was
in the scheme of things for him to plant
more and work harder the next year. But
when the farmer, year after year, produced
his crops and received a below-cost price for
his produce, a situation favorable to literally
suck the isms was created. We hate to think
what would have happened had the depres
sion in the early thirties lasted much long
er. The laborer was not receiving a living
wage. The farmer, so the system ruled, was
not entitled to electricity. He along with
the working man was relegated to the status
of slaves. '
We do not know what’ll happen under the
debt burden and a budget gone hay-wire,
but if there is an explosion one thing is cer
tain and that is we won’t lost any more
than was lost under Hooverism; it’ll be lost
in just a different way. And it’ll be lost
with everyone knowing that this country
had tried to give everyone a fair chance
to live and let live.
Irrespective of the huge debt and the
budget bugaboo and all the ism talk not
withstanding, we feel in our very souls that
this country is farther from the isms today
than it was in the last days of the Hoover
period when there was no great tax bur
den, when those who headed the govern
ment had free rein to act as they wanted to
act, and without the social planners and re
formers.
And we should remember that the vast
part of the existing debt was created to pro
tect all of us, that a few crumbs were drop
ped to help relieve the plight of those who
could not, despite repeated efforts, help
themselves.

Worchester (Mass.) Telegram.
It is perhaps one of the more discouraging
signs of our times that it became headline
news when the citizens of Mount Vernon,
N. Y., a Westchester County community, de
cided It) try out the gentle art of being
courteous to one another for a whole week.
Visitors to Mount Vernon this week are
likely to be surprised to find how much real
courtesy people can muster up, although it
must be said that Mount Vernonites say they
are usually pretty polite anyway. This week,
however, they will be even more polite;
there will be smiling traffic cops, eager as
sistance to help elderly folks across busy
streets and a return to an era when folks
seemed to take courtesy as a matter of
course, and not something for which to be
awarded a special medal.
It all started when a trio of teen agers, of
all people, persuaded Mayor William H.
Ilussev that he should proclaim the week as
a “courtesy week.” The mayor agreed with
the youngsters that perhaps much of the
world's troubles do come from the fact that
too many persons are inconsiderate of one
another. Perhaps Mount Vernon could lead
tlu way back to a courteous age, a period of
gallant manners when life was casual and a
lot happier.
It is to be hoped that this will be so. It is
perhaps slightly encouraging that the idea
for a courtesy week did come from some
teen agerp.
| BEAR GRASS G, EVERETTS 5
Bear Grass could get but one
run in any one inning but they
[ made that pace good enough for a
fi to 5 win over the Everetts Cubs
Saturday night under the lights
at Williainston when they got a
run in the first of the eighth and
the Cubs bon Id not mutch it.
Although Garland Wynne of
the Bears and Boggard of the
Cubs gave up a goodly number of
hits they kept them scattered and
j not big damage was done in any
! inning despite a home run, three
triples and four doubles.
'Harris of Bear Grass got a hom
er in the fourth but there was no
one on. Jr. Stalls and Ted Miller
of Everetts and Smith of Bear
Grass hit triples while Rawls of
Bear Grass got two doubles and
Virgil Wobbleton of the same
team got one double.
The victory helped to tighten
the Bears grip on first place and
was a tough one for the reinforc
ed Cubs to lose.
