PLAYGROUND PLANS
NOW BEING STUDIED
Citizens Forum Committee Wants
Proposed Supervision to
Help Older Youths.

Consideration of the proposal Of
Henry l. Quinn, member Of the Board
OF Education, to combine all District
Fairgrounds under the Community
Center Department, instead of the
two departments which they are un-
der at present. is being made by the
Education Committee of the Citizens
Forum of Columbia Heights. Mrs.
c. j. Fernald, chairman, has reported.
Just when recommendations of ap-
proval or disapproval of the plan
would be submitted to the forum could
not be stated, she said.
1t was Mrs. Fernald's opinion, how
ever, that if the Fairgrounds were to
be governed by the Community Center
Department entirely, too much time
might be spent in the interest of the
small child. forcing the older boys
and girls to be neglected.
She favored Mr.. Quinn's recon-
mendation as she understood 1t, she
said, that enough money should be
appropriated to open community CEN
ters at all schools School Fairgrounds
should be devoted to the younger
child, she contended. and the separate
recreation centers to the older boys
and girls Of the teen age. Mrs. Fer
nald said she was more interested in
securing recreational facilities for the
older youths.
The question would be gone into
thoroughly before any recommenda-
ton on the part of the committee
would be made. she said.
Other committee members are DR..

Is Barbarism Spreading?

and the guilt which in their hour Of
victory they took upon themselves.
We can cling like them to this moral
comfort: that the character and the
crimes of the Third Reich are such
as to wipe clean the slate of Ver-
sailles. But the danger that arises
from the character and the crimes of
that Third Reich and from its machi-
nations in the world is ours no less
than theirs. The frontier of all civil
lized men, Of all free men, Of ali
Christian men in the world today is
not the frontier of their homeland,
but the frontier that separates the
French Republic from the German
Reich. =
To be convinced of this. to know
this, is to harbor no hostility, but
rather a tragic love for that eternal
Germany which may be reborn some
day. To the symbol of the cry of
the Jews of Harbin there may be
added this other symbol: That Thomas
Mann, perhaps the greatest of living
Germans, perhaps the greatest of liv-
ing literary artists, is in exile. Where
he Is, there is that Germany that
nothing can diminish or harm.
Nazis Will Breed and Arm.
Meanwhile the conflict between the
new barbarism and western civiliZa-
ton exists; it is engaged; 1t Is on.
Whether and when the conflict will
be transferred from cities and bar
racks to fields and trenches and
clouds of poison gas sweep over civil
ian populations-that Is question
which will be answered not the least
by America and by the moral attitude
Of the American people. For France
and Britain cannot reconcile 1t with
their conscience nor take upon them
selves the responsibility for a preven-
tive war or marching up the Rhine,
where millions would welcome them as
liberators. Hence the NaZis will breed
and arm, and so will the succession
states Of Versailles, excepting only the
more civilized Czechoslovakian Re
public.
Where do We stand? The Com
munist critics assert that FaSciSm,
with all its horrors and all its cruelties
and all its miseries, is a necessary
temporary phase from which the pro-
letarian state and the proletarian die
tatorship will arise. In other words,
one tyranny Is to be succeeded by
another. In either case, all that We
call civilization. all that we call liberty
and justice and decency are doomed.

rnocracies Of the world hold firm and

Gold to Pay Debts Lacking.
To all Of which the provincial
American isolationist, careless of the
doom of his children, answers queru-
lously: The French should pay their
debts. And that isolationist Ameri-
can, forgetting conveniently enough
that he also lent money to perfectly
honest and perfectly reputable bank
ers in his home town who, struck
down by the economic crisis, could
not pay, fancies in self-defense a
France rich and untroubled, secure
and powerful and selfish and un-
willing to live up to obligations VOL
unfairly incurred. This fancy pic
ture, this bit of wishful thinking
would be amusing If 1t were not
freighted with consequences SO dire
and dreadful for the future of man.
kind.
The facts are simple enough and
are astonishingly different from pop
ular fancies. There Is not gold
enough in the world to pay the war
debts. These debts, like all such
debts, should normally have been
paid in goods. But since we cannot
find ways at present of consuming
what we ourselves produce, We can
not buy from Britain and from
France goods in such quantities as
would make possible the gradual and
normal liquidation of the debts.
In brief, the debts were incurred
without prophetic knowledge which
no man on any side possessed Of the
appalling disturbances which have
struck our entire order of production
and distribution. These in turn led
to unforeseen disturbances in the
worlds monetary systems, accompa-
MED by strange results wholly un-
known to our American iSolationiSt,
such as the stories Of Frenchmen
who, desiring to secure their fright
fully diminished patrimonieS for their
children and distrusting their small
franc, fled first to the pound and next
to the dollar. and are now stripped by
fat of one third to two-thirds of the
little that remained to them.

men are uneasy at an increase in their
business, since the higher taxes may
leave them poorer than they were.
OF every IS cents in gold paid for
slightly over a gallon Of gasoline, the
state takes 20 cents.
Where does the money go? Let us
remember, first, that the French are
not, from an American or Russian or
even German point Of view, a very
numerous nation. To place the popu-
lation of France at a bare 10000, 900
is undoubtedly optimistic. The actual
number of people who can be taxed
is not, in view of the needs of the
state, enormous. And the needs of
the state are, first Of all, the largest
and dearest military establishment in
Europe. There is today scarcely q
thoughtful pacifist in the world who
would seek to deny that need. The
French army and navy guard not only
and not chiefly the soil of France,
they guard the diminishing and en-
battled liberties of civilized mankind.
Words like these were spoken and
were written between 1914 and 1918,
and their truth was q very partial
truth, although the legitimate doubt
now assails those who desired justice
for the German people whether the
French were not more realistic and
more far-sighted than they seemed
and whether Prussian "dreadfulneSs"
was as exaggerated as many conscien-
tious men in those years hoped and

tation; today there can be no quib-
bling. A strong France Is the rock
to which all free men must cling.
The guilt Of Versailles Is the guilt
OF the allied and confederated nations,
including the United States. That
guilt has helped to bring the barbar-
ian to our gate.
Who, granting those historic facts
who has clean hands today? The
French republic. When the Italian
Fascists tortured men with castor oil
and deported them to desolate is
lands, the liberals and intellectuals OF
Italy who succeeded in crossing the
frontier found refuge and hospitality
in France. When a dictator expelled
BlaSco Ibanez and Unamona, they
went to France.
Finally, in this time Of confusion
and great economic distress for all
peoples, including the French. there
burst forth the Brown Terror in Ger
many. Thousands Of men and women
fed for their lives. France opened her
frontiers and sheltered the fugitiveS.
In brief: there is one major country
on the continent Of Europe, and only
one, in which the principles on which
the American Commonwealth was
founded are active and still the prin-
ciples of life of the nation. That
country is France. And 1t is for this
reason that, amid the billows Of the
Evening star., 1934-03-18

engulfing sea Of tyranny and bar
barism, France is the symbol Of our
liberties as well as the defender Of
her own. Our place in the world con-
hict is by her side and Britain's.
For choose we must. History itself
will force us to do so.
1t cannot be that we will repudiate
our past and all our ideals and league
ourselves with tyrant and barbarism.
1t cannot be that we desire to sell our
children into Fascist or Communist
slavery or into the power Of the bar
barian, whether white or yellow. Then
our place is beside the embattled de-
mocracies left in the world. And
France stands almost alone In the
whole Of Eurasia today. II she goes

the seas Of our two coasts will not

Wrong Heaped on Wrong.
We entered the war; we sent our
armies overseas; we anticipated the
wants Of oE allies and poured our
treasures out to them without stint.
Our representatives, including the
Chief Magistrate of the Republic, went
to Europe and sat at those council
tables and consented to the terms OF
the peace treaties. He sat in that tall,
tragic chamber in the Trianon Palace
Hotel in Versailles whittier came the
representatives Of the German repub-
lie, the genuine republic of FREDERICK
Ebert and Walther Rathenau, to hear
the treaties merciless provisions.
In those provisions, as all instructed
men now agree, there was heaped up
wrong upon wrong, injustice upon in
justice-the insane figures of the
reparations, the establishment of the
Polish Corridor. the humiliations and
chicaneries that burdened intolerably
the young republic we had demanded
for the liberation Of the German
people itself. Dragons teeth were
sown there. We sowed them no less
than our allies. Guilt in the tragic
and fatalistic sense was incurred
there. We incurred our share.
Now that seed of dragons teeth has
produced its bitter harvest. We are
in danger as We were not in 1914. We
are in danger from the drawing to-
gether, East and West, of the new,
self-created barbarisms of the world.
