Though in general it follows the pattern of the historic declaration of August 20, 1789, it differs from that document in several important respects. These differences are worth some consideration as having possibly important implications for the future of freedom not only in France but throughout the world. ' Certain guaranjees—for example, that defendants at law shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty and that none shall be placed twice in jeopardy f the same offense—are incorporated in the new declars tion without change or modification. But whereas the old declaration was mainly negative, in the sense of setting narrow limits to the authority and power of the state over the individual citizen, the new declara- tion is positive in the sense of assuring certain social and economic benefits to all citizens. The most striking difference perhaps is in the clauses relating to property. The original declaration defined the rights of property as “imprescriptible,” “inviolable,” deprived of his property save in cases of manifest publjc necessity. The new declaration, however, stipu Jate§ that, although no citizen may be deprived of | property “save in cases of ascertained public utility,” nevertheless “the right of property may not be exerted contrary to public utility.” At the same time it provides that any property which has acquired “the character- istics of & public service or of a de facto monopoly” is to become the “property of the collectivity,” thereby giving constitutional sanction to nationalization of basic industries. Again, where the declaration of 1789 declared the “sacred,” and insisted that none could be | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1946 “free communication of thoughts and opinions to be one of the most precious rights of mian” and guar- anteed that every citizen might “speak, write and print with freedom” but should be answerable for the abuse of that freedom, the new declaration merely guarantees the right of free speech and free pres within the limits set forth in the declaration itself. g the limitations thus placed upon freedom of expression is a prohibition against any “propaganda” in favor of any political or social system that might theoretically discriminate against any “sex, age, color | or religion.” Also the new declaration insists that all men have both the right and the duty to work and that in matters of employmeni none may be discriminated against because of his “origin, opinions or belief.” It stipulates that all children have the right to full educa- tion and that any discrimination in matters of educa- tion must be wholly on the basis of personal aptitudes From all this it will be seen that the new (lv('la‘.':\-i tion places its greatest emphasis on the principle of | o equality, whereas the old one, like our own Decelaration lo of Independence, placed the emphasis on liberty.

Some years pefore this, however, Lew Douglas had come to Con- gress in 1927 as a Democrat at the sprightly age of 33, when Congress was packed with dignified Republi- cans of the conservative Coolidge era. He remained six years, got io know Franklin Roosevelt as Gov- ernor of New York, campaigned for him, and resigned from Congress to become FDR's Director of the Budget. ROWS WITH ROOSEVELT Less than a year later, the two were in vigorous disagreement, chiefly over the public works and spending program. FDR believed the Government had to spend to win back employment. Douglas was for a balanced budget. Finally he resigned. Lew then went up to Canada for A while as Vice Chancellor of Mc- Gill University, later became head of the giant Mutual Life Insur- ance Company of New York, did his best to elect Wendell Willkie, was privately though briefly men- tioned by J. P. Morgan Partners as Republican candidate for Presi- dent, and then, with the war on, he and Roosevelt suddenly kissed and made up. Douglas became head of the War Shipping Administration, where he cut red tape, rowed with the Army, and did a reasonably good job. At one time, Roosevelt nearly appointed Douglas to be Under Secretary of State. This was when FDR made the worst foreign re ticns mistake of his many long years by ousting his best State De- partment executive, Sumner Welles However, Douglas was conside too close to Wall Street, and Stettiniis got the job instead Later, Lew turned up myster- fously in Germany, where he serv- ed as a War Department adyiscr where he persuaded his broth- -law, Assistant Secretary of War McCloy, to held up Truman's “tough peace” Directive 1067 for Germany. Douglas was cne of those who velieved that Geriuaay should be built up as a buffer state against Russia; and that was where he in- curred the opposition of Henry Morgenthau. Henry has now writ- ten to Truman warning that Doug- , as head of the World Bank, would be a tragic mistake. Despite the fact that everyone likes Lew personally, there is vio- lent opposition to his policies and his off-again-on-again method of ambling through life. However, Secretary of the Trea- sury Vinson is for him, so are the British, and, what with strong Wall Street support, he will pro- bably get the job.
