April 29. 197*2 f The China Lobby % Senator Wayne Morse's demand for an in ? vestigation of the China Lobby has put Con » gresS in an awkward position. To conduct ; such an inquiry might expose certain sen ators and representatives to the sort of i harsh light which they appear to believe [ should be turned only on members of the t executive branch of government. Yet it is difficult to see how the legisla tors can continue to investigate possible pro Soviet influences on the development of America’s China policy while continuing to ignore startling evidence of powerful in i' fluence from another foreign source—the ! Nationalist government of Chiang Kai-shek Especially is this true if—as has been charg 1 ed— American aid funds have been used i by the China Lobby to conduct a campaign of vilification against American officials and ■ policies. There is nothing inherently wrong in the Nationalists’ maintaining a lobby in Wash ington. even as the United States lobbies \ for its own interests in foreign capitals. But it is a serious matter when, as a result, an atmosphere is created in which many Amer i leans do not hesitate to label as a "traitor” any official in their own government who takes sharp issue with Chiang. This is a very curious concept of loyalty and bears an upside-down resemblance to the “loyal ty of the American Communist. It lias been stated by some close American observers that the Nationalists’ great hope i et staging a comeback on the Chinese main- ! land with all-out American aid rests on the ! starting of a third world war. If this is so, then those Americans who wittingly or un wittingly make loyalty to Chiang the test of loyalty to the United States should do some hard thinking. Though their patriotism and good faith may be beyond question, their judgment needs to be held up against what ever ineontrover**ble facts an investigation . ,«• tV iw-' -*«« U ::.du/.:>•. tion Science Monitor. Lmply Pv.ipits The Duke Divinity School reports that there are 15,000 vacant pulpits in th< Ignited States, presumably in the protestant field. Most of the decline came during compara tively recent years, and the implications are recognized as being serious. It would seem that religious zeal is les sening, that too many individuals are not willing to properly finance their church op erations. On the other hand, it is a little hit apparent that the dollar and not the Lord alone that calls recruits to the pulpit. While plowing in the fields on a hot sul try day, the perspiration flowing freely down their faces, many have heard the “call” to preach, to preach. The call was answered, and un fortunately some were not properly equip ped. The almighty dollar has served the devil long enough. If dollars will do it, the people should employ them in rounding up a suf ficient number of ministers to serve the need, and it is admitted that the need is great. Just For Promises? A political writer, a bit woeful about it all, deplores the one-party system in the South, and goes on to point out that the re gion could get good promises from both the Democrats and the Republicans if a strong two-party system existed. If a two-party system is to be just to get promises, it would not be worthy of its name. However, a strong two-party system would keep each one alert, but it would clear up the confused air now existing in the De mocratic party. The system would make it possible to kick out those Republican rascals who have long paraded under the Demo cratic banner. Not for promises, but for simplifying pol ities and determinings just where candidates stand‘.before election, the people of the South should favor the two party system. And let the man with the best program win. ..^ No matter what a man’s aims, or resolu tions, or professions may be, it is by one’s deeds that he is to be judged, both by God and mam—-H. W.

Taft have announced that na 1, tional petitions are being circulat ed, which call upon General of •pWGfflyyUiJ? hot , lions on current issues. This, of couse, is an effort to put Eisen hower squarely on the spot on many eontroversal issues on which Senator Taft has already been forced to commit himself. Taft* supporters do not deny | this, and, in fact, say that every Presidential candidate should commit himself on the major issues of the day so that the peo ple will have an accurate idea of what the candidate stands for. Some of the questions General Eisenhower is to be asked are j very interesting ones. For instance one would have Eisenhower say whether he aproved the firing of General of the Army Douglas MacArthur. Another would have i him say w hether he would re-! move Secretary of State Dean j Acheson, if elected. Still another would have him say if he would [support any Republican nominat ed. Senator Taft, as the reader knows, has said he would support any Republican, who is nominat ed at the G. O ,P. convention. Taft workers think the petitions will be signed by millions of Americans before they have com pleted the rounds. They say the petitions originated because of a widespread demand from voters for General Eisenhower’s position on this or that issue. I Only recently, General-Eisen hower declined to answer a series of questions on President Tru man's civil rights program, and other issues, put to him by Rep resentative Adam Powell, Jr., of New York. Eisenhower wrote Powell that be did not have the time or the staff to make the de tailed studies necessary to an .sv'.'i'i..! hr. tsU.: '..rid i bower in the Taft petition will ■put General Eisenhower squarely | on the spot. While he probably | will not answer the petition in de tail and point by point order, he wil. be forced to answer some cf them m the course of the nomina tion campaign—and many more of them if he is nominated by the Republicans. Whether he answers these questions or not, it is clear the petition effort of the Taft forces is the most successful move by them to date to put Eisenhower i on record on several controversial I issues. , Immigrant Shoirs Good Will To Government -♦- gg ] Chicago.—The Treasury of thgg !
