Washington Post | The CIO appears to be genuinely on the way to- ward “cleansing” itself, as President Philip Murray put it, of its Communist influences. These have been controlling* in a few unions, although by no means dominant in the CIO as a whole. Henceforward, ap- parently, they will be barred from the CIO executive board. Moreover, the several unions controlled by Communist leaders, or by leaders who are stooges for backstage Communist wire pullers, seem slated for swift expulsion by the convention now in sessions at Cleveland. The United Electrical Werkers and the Farm Equipment workers have already been thrown out This kind of self-cleansing seems to us to be the one proper and effective way of dealing with the problem raised by Communists in the labor movement Attacks from the outside are almost certain to be unavailing, especially when they may be pretexts for s upon the labor movement itself. This was certainly the fundamental error of the non-Commnn- ist oath provision of the Taft-Hartley law. It en- deavored to force what could be accomplished only voluntarily from within. Left to themselves, Ameri will handle their own Communist problem TODAY’S VIEW—BY COLUMNIST On October 24 a consul of the United States was arrested and thown into the Chinese Communist jail in Mukden.

S. could get no information about the nor of Finally the State Department called on 30 nations, including Russia, to aid the United States in securing the needed information and also obtain the consul's release.

It was particiularly in the China | policy of the United States that | Soviet Russia was interested, and | the fareastern division of the State | Department was lcaded down with | pro-Russians, to say nothing of ‘spies‘ as the courts and the Con- gressional Committees are indicat- ing. At any rate, the State De- partment changed its far eastern policy, after such cld-timers, as Dr. Stanley Hornbeck, were kicked out. Into their place came a group ol men who favored a pro-Russian and adopted an anfi-Chinese poli At the head, at least, was Johh Carter Vincent, who had had a {long career in China. After he had been made minister to SwitzerlanG in 1947, his place was taken by W. Walton Butterworth whose exper- ience in China has been n ibl His first contact with China was January 2, 1946, when he was made Counselor of our embassy at Chung- king, but by September 15, 1947, he was at the head of th ffice of Far Eastern Affairs— a very rapid rise in the face of the existence of men in the State Department of very wide experience For instance, compare Butter- iworth’s career with that of Joseph E. Jacobs, who presided over Chinese court when I was in ti country. He entered our Fore Service on November 5, 1915, as student imgerpreter in China. From 1918 to 1925, he served as a 'in the Mixed Co the lar of which is several dialects of 1 jese. He served in Consu s in Fc (chow, Shanghai, Yunnanfu. He was | chief of the Office of Philippine | Affairs in the State Department What do you suppose he is doing inow? He is our representative in Czechoslovakia and he has been looking after our interest in Al bania. ¢ I picked Jacobs because his name /. jcame to me. I might have picked a} dozen of our far eastern experts who are scattered in far easiern) | affairs—or very little--are making | | American policy. I The result is our complete debacle | in China, the conquest of that country by Soviet Russia, and the policy of humiliation and umbrage| which the- Chinese Communists are practising against us. The arrest of Angus Ward and William N. Stokes, | jour Consular officers in Mukden, | 1is now obviously due to a desire to ! make the United States “lose face” not only in China but throughout | Asia. The object is to show that | this country amounts to nothing, | that it defends neither its honor, its i prestige, nor its sons who represent | it abroad. Tt is a good propaganda | for the Russians, who would kill Innyone who threw a spithall at Joe| Isv.ann's picture. | ! So we have that kind of peace| jand it is slowly adding up to war. |For if the Russians continue to, |shame us, there will finally be an explosion of shame in this coun-| try which no politician could quiet.
