What Softness Did
If the only reason for Premier Stalin’s
postwar policy is fear of American im-
perialism." it is unlikely that he would
have okayed the Communist «coup in
Czechoslovakia. If he had any regard.for
the American third party that would
guarantee peace by giving him free rein,
he probably would not have embarrassed
that third party by this aggressive act.
The third party has every reason to be
embarrassed. For President Benes gave
the Communists as free a rein as was
possible and still preserve a semblance of
parliamentary democracy. And the Rus-
sian-directed Communists showed their
appreciation by seizing control of the
Czech government. Ce
There was a bit of window-dressing to
justify the Communists’ action. But even
they didn’t seem to take it very seriously.
The Communist-led police, searched the
National Socialist Party headquarters for
several hours on the first day of the up-
rising and "discovered" documents sup-
posedly revealing a conspiracy of armed
revolt against the state.
The Communists' subsequent actions
were not what would be used to quell a
revolt against the status quo. In the first
place, they destroyed the status quo. They
did such things as turn the legal owners
out of factories and other business places
and replace them with “national mana-
gers.” This scarcely comes under the
head of defense measures.
There seems to have been no bitter op-
position to the Communists in Czechoslo-
vakia so long as they operated within the
framework of the republic and permitted
some democratic freedoms. As President
Benes said, “It is clear to me that social-
ism is a way of life desired by an over-
whelming part of our nation.” But he
added “I believe that with socialism a
certain measure of freedom and unity is
possible, and that these are vital prin-
ciples to all in our national life.”
But that did not square with Commu-
nist policy. It was not enough to have the
biggest popular vote and majority control
of the cabinet and parliament. The pat-
tern of terror and tyranny had to be re-
peated. for communism seems to know
no other way. So free Czechoslovakia is
no more.
Czechoslovakia did not oppose Russia.
She was a neighbor and an ally. She was
not militaristic or imperialistic. She did
not threaten or demand Her only sins
were independence and freedom In
short, she was about what Henry Wallace
and the third party would have this coun-
try become as a means of ensuring peace.
It seems to us that Czechoslovakia's
is a challenge to Mr Wallace and his
theories. Thus far he has parried the
challenge by saying. “It is impossible to
know what the truth is from the Amer-
ican press " The American press can en-
dure the insult. But the insult is no
answer to the voters whose support Mr
Wallace is seeking.
A policy of softness and subservience
cost Czechoslovakia her freedom Would
the same policy satisfy Russia and ore-
serve freedom in the rest of Enrone if
the United States should adopt it? That
is the question which Mr. Wallace must
answer honestly if he is to justify the
claim that his political gospel holds the
key to world peace.
The Cost of Steel

They stand out against the harsh
glare of swiftly moving history like

play.
One, it is hardly necessary to say.
Is Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg of
Michigan. The tribute that the Sen-
ate paid him. when he finished
his speech opening the debate on
the European Recovery Program,
was the kind of thing that comes
been made—by the Harriman Com-
mittee, for example. He says this
despite Secretary of State George
C. Marshall s warning that such a
cut would reduce the whole busi-
difference. No one doubted his abi-
lity. But he coasted along pleasant-
ly and he rarely had to extend him-
self.
World War II brought to him an
understanding of what the weapons
of modern destruction meant it
brought maturity and h crushing
sense of personal responsibility.

partisan policy” is a reality, as both par-
ties in Congress polish their glasses for a
close examination of the concerted rise
rarely in any man's career in Con-
gress. It was a recognition, disre-
and ideological differences, of a
great achievement.
The other man is Sen. Joseph H.
in steel prices.
The President turns loose "all interest-
ed agencies of the government” on the in-
quiry. Press and public cheer from the
sidelines And there are some who ponder
the possibility that, in spite of legal safe-
guards, “monopoly capitalism" may be
something more than a stock phrase of the
left-wingers.
The big chiefs answer back. They ar-
gue that the estimated $68,000,000 that
the new price will cost steel users is only
1 10th of one per cent of total steel out-
put. But they don’t argue away the fact
that the new price is also 68.000.000 bucks
that somebody's got to pay. And they
don’t argue away those record after-taxes
profits of 1947.
So now the hounds of the law are in
full crv The next question is what they
will do to Big Steel when they have it
treed. For there is a second danger in
this price rise. One. obviously, is that it
will help cancel out the good done by the
drop in food costs. The other, more re-
mote. is that it may bring regulations that
could get out of hand
The investigation will give leftists a
wonderful chance to point out again that
Big Steel's behaviour illustrates one of
the basic evils of our capitalistic system.
They will say that steel is a basic industry
that should be taken over by the govern-
ment, or at least operated as a public
utility.
Actually Big Steel's behavior is rather
a denial of the capitalistic system of free
enterprise than an abuse of it. Competi-
tion is the life blood of private enterprise.
And absence of competition is the prin-
cipal sin that the steel industry is charged
with in the present case
There will be temptation, even in a
Republican Congress, to throw the book
at Big Steel This isn’t a capital-labor
matter The price rise in steel has an-
gered other industries, consumers, and a
government that is at least talking about
ways to bring living costs down
But corrective measures will have to
be chosen carefully Severe restrictions
on steel would tend to restrict its users’
activities, just as steel costs affect the
cost of a vast number and variety of pro-
ducts. 1
To substitute government monopoly of
decision for private monopoly would not
help. If steel’s leaders have a restricted
sense of public responsibility—and they
seem fo have—then that sense will have
to be legislated into them. But govern-
ment controls should he designed to pro-
mote healthy competition among steel
makers Since steel’s influence in all in-
dustrv wo-ls for aned as well as had the
result ought to be a healthier ecenomy.

In the morality plays of the Mid-

were always labeled. They were
Virtue, Vice, Malice, Envy, Lust.
Our time is perhaps too complicat-
ed for such simple labels If you
had to apply tags to two such con-
trasting personalities and perfor-
mances as those of Vandenberg and
Ball, maturity and immaturity
might fit as well as anything else.
That, It seems to me. is the real
meaning of Vandenberg's achieve-
ment-maturity.

"I never dreamed I would come
to accept the weight of responsibil-
ity that I feel today. And if I had
thought it would be anything like
thia. I'm afraid I might have turn-
ed my back on it."
But the point is he didn't turn
his back. Politically speaking, Sen.
Vandenberg is e conservative. He
is a conservative in the truest sense
of the word. That is to s«y, he be-
lieves in trying to conserve what
is best in our system in the face
of the revolutionary changes that
are blowing across the w >rld.
In 1944, Sen. Ball bolted the Re-
publican party and came out for
President Roosevelt’s election to a
fourth term. He said he was doing
this on the issue of foreign policy
and the vigorous prosecution of
the war. By taking this step he
greatly embarrassed Harold Stas-
sen. who first appointed him to
the senate.
MUST GET RE-ELECTED
Today his objective seems to be
to erase any thought that he ever
favored Roosevelt or the policies of
Roosevelt. After all, he does have
the problem of getting re-elected in
November on the Republican tick-
et
But this gives to his course a
zigzag effect. When he was a work-
ing newspaper man at the time of
the formation of the American new-
paper Guild, Ball was one of the
red-hot* who wanted to demand
that employers negotiate every con-
ceivable circumstance and condi-
tion. Yet when the Taft-Hartley law
was being debated, he took such an
extreme position that Stassen
could not go along with him.
Perhaps the zig and the zag in
Ball'a career can be put down to
the process of growing up. He ia
20 years younger than Sen. Van-
denberg.
The maturing process does, how-
ever. seem to be a little drawn out,
particularly in view of the state
of the world The kind of immatur-
ity exhibited in the senate, where
every kind of irrelevant proposal
is thrown in with ERP, thus insur-
ing delays, conflicts, and confusion,
is a perilous extravagance in the
face of the threat to this nation’s
security. If anyone la seeking a
model of maturity, there is Arthur
Vandenberg of Michigan, %

his friends and his staff member# Two months
