Seattle, Wash | | | A NEW TECHNIQUE Buried in one of the lesser paragraphs of a recent Washinzton news letter is what purports to be & descripticn of the tactics organized labor intends to use in the forthcoming elections. After commenting on the fact that the labor unions are engaged in. raising a huge political slush fund—a fund which may run as high as $20,000,000—this writer concludes that 1 bor learned a lesson in tactics when they made repeal ¢f the Taft-Hartley law the big issue in a Congres- sional contest in Pennsylvania a few months ago and took a bad boating. As a result of this experience, according to this writer, labor has adopted a new technique. He describes the situa*’on in a fairly close Ccn ressional district in Illinois as follows: “The present Congreesman, a Republican, votel for the Taft-Hartley Act and is seeking renomination and reelection. Labor leaders are out to get him. Are they lining up behind a man pledged to vote for rezer1 of that law? Not at all. They have gone to an outst nding, well-hceled resident who has already made his pile but who is a political unknown and they have made him % proposition. “‘We are nct going to tie a single string on you,’ !Lhe Willow Run ae Washington 1‘5 per share during his first year [ 1s the proposition. ‘We are not going to embarrass | you by giving you a labor endorsement. But if you will run against Congressman Blank in the prmmr.\',i' we’ll finance your campaign. It won't cost you a cent.| And we'll get out the vote to nominate you. When youre nominated, we'll get out the vote to elect you. ; We aren’t asking anything from you after that. All| | we expect of you is to beat Congressman Blank.'"” Labor leaders are getting politically smarter by leaps and bounds and this year there is every likeli- | hood that they will have campaign funds to play with| that will make the war chests of the old-line political sarties look like -small change, . 1 Equality for Aliens H (Washington Post) The Immigration and Naturalization laws oi the United States still contain a considerable element of racial discrimination which is af onee an irritant to our relations in the Far-East and a denjal of our own vital principle that all men are created equal. The exclusionary features of the Immigration Act of 1024, ] directed against persons of Oriental origin, were modi- fied with respect to the Chinese in 1943 and with, respect to the Filipinos and East Indians in 1946, How- | ever. persons from Burma, Japan, Siam, Indonesia Korea, Indo-China, the Malay States, and the Pacific Islands are still barred from becoming naturalized as citizens of the United States and are, therefore, in general ineligible even to enter this country as immigrants. | Representative Walter H. Judd has introduced a bill designed to cure this inequity. Its effect would be to do for other Orientals which has already been done for Chinese, Filipinos and East Indians—that is, to erase from our nationality and immigration volicy any discrimination on racial grounds and treat them as we treat- Europeans seeking to enter the United States. In practice, because stringent quotas are ap- plicable to the pgoples in question, no more than a few hundred” Asiatics now ineligible to enter the United States would be granted admittance. Mr. Judd’s pro- ' posal would not change the quota law in any respect: it would merely extend it. The most important etiect of his bill would be t¢ make eligible for naturalization an estimated 88,00 persons now in the United States and Hawaii who ar barred from becoming citizens because of racial origin | The President’s Committee on Civil Rights urged tha’ this be done. Most of those who would be affectec was amply demonstrated during the war; they pro duced, among other things, the 100th Battalion and the 442d Infantry Combat Team which, as the late Gen Joseph W. Stilwell put it, “bought an awful | big hunk of America with their blood.” Their present status makes them the victims of discriminatory land laws in some Western States prohibiting “aliens in elizible to- citizenship” frem buying, selling or con- vevinz lend. In the Ovama case, the Supreme Court pointed out the other dav the invidiousness of this kinc of discrimination. Ceongress rather than the court can furnish the most effective remedy.
