New York. com Query for Foreign Ministers There is an amazing similarity between the basic voiced by Secretary of State Byrnes and Foreign Minister Molotov in their reports to their people on the failure of the Paris conference, mere Byrnes asks, in effect, "What is Russia up Molotov counters wltb "What is the U. S. to?" Neither answers the question outright, but he leaves no doubt in the minds of his what he thinks. Each recognizes the so-called "legitimate security" moves of the other.

Mr. Byrnes makes it clear that it is all right for Russia to bolster her borders with friendly states, if her intention is only to avoid a repetition of the frightful destruction that swept across to Stalingrad. But he also makes it clear that he suspects that the cause of "security" is an alibi cloaking a new imperialism. Mr. Molotov voices the same complaint, and he makes it specific.

It is indeed.difficult to determine where the desire for security ends and expansion begins, he the U. S. is concerned. Referring to U. S.

efforts to secure bases in Iceland, he Saytt "What matters here is by no means the security of the United States, but entirely different aspirations. The world press is replete with reports that cemin circles in the United States, having formed a bloc with their friends in Great Britain, are seeking to establish naval ana 1 military air parts of the This mutual suspicion, since it involves motives, scarcely be resolved on the level at- which Mr. Byrnes and Mr. Molotov are attacking it. It is tragic cliche that each-nation imputes the best of motives to its own action, while viewing parallel acts a foreign power -wjth dark suspicion.

We know that the does ndt want war, and brush aside any such implications with irritation. It is almost certain that.Mr. Byrnes' complaints'arouse tbe tame exasperation in Russia. Associated Press Corre- spondeftt Eddy Gilmore, just back from five £ears in Moscow, asserts flatly that neither Russian people nor the Russian, leaders "want war, and lists cogent teasons for his belief. Since the issue reduces itself to a question of what is "security," the foreign ministers might take a look at what is happening to military science, and measure its advance alongside their arguments.

The atomic bomb, new developments in bacteria -warfare, and atc-snic poisons give an archaic air to the whole dispute. Both Byrnes and Molotov arguing about the world of power prior to these frightful discoveries. Of what'importance to U. S. security are bases in Iceland, when by General Arnold's own estimate, the atomic war, will be won or lost in a matter of hoiirs? Wherein will Russia's security be affected by the type of government in Bulgaria, with atomic rockets cruising the stratosphere out of sight of national boundaries? can 25 Years Ago June 6, 1921 3.

A. Miller, superintendent of, Altotf-Water appeared tiie city council finance caauhUte? with two engineers and asked that the committee present a resolution to the council to raise water rates.

Alderman Davis, 'Chairman of the committee, objected to allowing the council to have anything at all to do with the proposal, demanded to know how the water company expected the council to act In a few days on something the Utility commission would consider two or three months. However, two other members Of the committee appeared to favor the water company suggestion and engineers asserted on behalf of the company that the company went in the hole $6500 during the past 12 months.

The aldermen asked if the plant was being operated efficiently and the engineers said the company employed a chief engineer for $175 a month "when he is worth twiceLthat'' The Arkansas Hive? went on a rampage and BOO persons in Pueblo, and vicinity were reported dead.

The vote against continuing the Royal family power, and for establishment of a republic In Italy Is so overwhelming that the new King, who-was to succeed his father, Victor Emmanuel III, must go into exile and leave his country to be reorganized under a republican form of government.

The House of Savoy has, with few long held the controlling power of Italy. The new King, in whose favor Victor Emmanuel III abdicated: recently under pressure, in the hope of changing the-manifest intolerance of Italian people for the monarchy, is a strong powerful young man who was the fruit of a scientifically arranged marriage between Victor Emmanuel III and a Montenegrin Princess. Victor Emmanuel was sickly in his boyhood and his growth was stunted so that he was most un- kingly in appearance. Short in stature, afflicted with ill health in boyhood and young manhood, the gravest considerations of state, for improving the stock, caused the match to be made with a huge woman of sturdy Montenegrin stock. The crown prince, Umberto II, named for his distinguished grandfather, grew up into a fine specimen of manhood, far more impressive than his dwarfed father, but even that did not move popular opinion in Italy to retain the monarchy and the House of Savoy.

Perhaps Victor Emmanuel III, in surrendering his authority in the first place to Mussolini, had in mind the teaching he had been given in his own case that size and strength were desirable in a ruler and he believed, too, that perhaps some Fascist doctrine would be good for the national ills of a then enervated 'Italy which had declined in national importance. i But Victor Emmanuel was to be compelled later, bc- causa of his moral weakness in yielding to Mussolini repeatedly, to yield finally his throne to his own son, Umberto. But his move to appease his people was too Jate to save the monarchy. The people voted overwhelmingly in favor of abolishing the monarchy and substituting therefor a republic, but did not go so far as to vote communistic. Perhaps the Vatican's hold jn the Italian people was the strongest influence communism, though it could not save the JJpiHKof Savoy, if it desireU June 6, 1896 Through George H.

Smiley as agent, the First Presbytejrlah Church at southeast comer of Second and Market had been sold at $8250 to a St. Louis syndicate, represented by Manning Maytieid, which was to remodel the structure Into a business building, the main floor to be occupied by the postoffice. The newAowners proposed a three-story structure, the second floor to house offices, the third, a hall suitable for lodge quarters. For several years, the Presbyterian congregation had been 'planning for erection of a new church on lots-already acquired at Fourth and Alby. The building sold was erected in 1844, when the Rev.

Norton was pastor, and In 1854 was enlarged. The Rev. C. became pastor just after the city hall was'erected, opposite the church, in the late 50's. Other pastors who had 'occupied the pulpit of the church were the Rev.

WASHINGTON, June may bfc the merits of the la- Serf controversies which James C.

Petrlllo, head of Hhp musicians union, is engaged-In with broadcasting certainly within his in refusing to obey a law of Congress aimed at its union alone. This is but another way of say- Ing, he must be pretty sure the law will be declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States or else he will face the penalties of the law even though his purpose may be merely to test the validity of the law-and not just to flout it. Many persons who read about Mr. Potrillo's of the statute immediately Jumped to the conclusion that he was doing something improper or rebellious. Actually there la no way by which any law of the United States with criminal provisions in it affecting a citizen can, be tested as to its constitutionality unless a citizen chooses to challenge that statute by violating it or refusing to abide by its Memories art sttor) but few years July 1935 and April employers felt the same way about the Wag- rjer Labor' Relations Act as Mr, Pettillo does about the recently passed Congress endeavored to restrict some of Mr.

Petrlllo's activities hi relation to broadcast music! Many employers in 1935 were confident that the Wagner Ivft would! not be upheld by tfce. Supreme CourtT' Some able lasers under the auspices of the Liberty League issued a symposium or brief stating" in detail why they thought 'lert was unconstitutional. Unfortunately for them the Supreme Court later did uphold the law. Yet many employers in the period between the passage of the law and the rendering of the Supreme Court 21 they could ignore the law and enforcement did not become widespread until after the Supreme Court decided the first test case. Mr.

Petrlllo no doubt has competent legal advice but it must be said in all Candor that he has a better chance of seeing the recently passed law declared unconstitutional than had the Liberty League lawyers, One reason is that the coercive practices which Congress prohibited in the statute aimed at Pe- trlllo's' union were specifically barred only as industry, namely broadcasting. The Constitution requires that the laws cf the United States must enforced equally so that all ctt- usens receive equal protection so that also no', group of citizens shall be discriminated against; b. Congress in the imposition oft pen allies or criminal If Congress had barred all coercive practices and had made it unlawful for any union to compel an employer to hire more persons than he; needed the situation would different.

WASHINGTON, June 6. It is now possible to give a play-by-play account of what happened Inside the White House during the This columnist has been around Washington a good many years, but the events preceding Harry Truman's labor message to 'Congress were the most bizarre ever witnessed. They prove that Harry Truman's worst enemy is his own loyalty to friends.

Here is what happened: On Friday morning, just after the strike started, Truman does invalidate the Petrillo law as unconstitutional, the country will be faced with a continuance of the coercive practices complained of 91- else Congress will have to make such things unlawful as applied to all industries or businesses and all unions, Mr. Petrillo is probably taking no chances in disregarding the law and at the same time he will bej.inadvertent- ly rendering a service exposing the negligence of duty by the Congress of the United States.

Secretary ot Labor Schwellenbach was equally burned up, but not at the strikers. He was sore at likable John man, the White House labor expert, and John Snyder, the war reconverter, for messing up the negotiations. At the cabinet meetirig, Postmaster General Hannegan wanted Truman to go on the air with an appeal to the public, but no crackdown on labor. Secretary of War Patterson wanted the to take t-ver the railroads at once, even produced a blueprint for army's 1 strike-breaking operations.

They claimed It was fantastic to let the ry be tied up when both sides were so close to agreement, A settlement, they Insisted, was both pos sjble and probable, and it was unwise in the light of this information for the President to take the strong action he contemplated. John Snyder, however, insisted that was too late, had already gone out to the public that the President would address the nation and talk, to Congress. He could not turn back. Truman agreed with Snyder and asked those present to return at 7 o'clock with drafts of the speech he was to deliver at 10 p. pitifully short time for any chief executive to a momentous pronouncement.

He interrupt ed the speech-writing from time to time with inane cracks which served no useful purpose.
