Lost Thinqs First

In reporting out the bill to increase
the District gasoline tax from two to
three cents, the House District Com
mittee is putting the procedural cart
before the horse.
The revenue from the tax increase,
which would become effective next
January l and continue until June
80, 1949, is to be used to pay for a
program of highway improvements
mapped out by Captain H. c. White
hurst, director of highways. But the
program still occupies rather
nebulous status.
Captain Whitehurst's plan was
made public April "a, and subse-
quently it was approved by the Com
missioners. Not until July rs was
the principal necessary legislation
that setting up a parking agency
with authority to establish and
operate automobile fringe" parking
lots-sent to the Budget Bureau, and
that agency has not yet acted on it..
Thus, the District Committee has
approved tax increase without any
certain knowledge as to what the
revenue is going to be spent for, or
even whether it will be spent at all.
1t is true that the subcommittee
which considered the matter, at the
suggestion of Representative Dirk
sen, requested and received from
Captain Whitehurst priority sched-
ule of Improvements to be made. But
this was only designed for use by
the subcommittee as a guide" in
estimating the cost of meeting the
schedule.
The proposed tax increase may be
enacted at once, but there is no as
surance that the appropriation COM
mittees would grant the authorize
tions and appropriations necessary
to carry out the schedule prepared
by Captain Whitehurst. Further
more, 1t is possible that the material
requirements of the defense program,
particularly In the case of such items
as steel, may seriously interfere with
carrying out the highway program
in the near future.
Under these circumstances it NAV
be wondered why there Is so much
haste in getting approval of the
higher tax. Why not follow the nor
NAL and sensible procedure of at
least getting the program in final
form, and enacting such legislation
as may be necessary, including the
congressional authorization for the
projects, before voting the tax in
crease?

out the middle ages. The second
printing press operated in that part
Of the world was set up in the clois-
ter. A modern university and a fine
museum of antiquities developed
from the inspiration of now forgotten
scholars.
In the memory OF an American
tourist Kiev is apt to be jumbled
impression. Streets crowded with
pilgrims in strange and picturesque
costumes; troops Of the Red Army
on parade: merchants coming and
going in the markets; Cossack horse
men riding By with naughty glances
at mere pedestrians; fishermen from
"the beautiful river" praised by
Gogol; women and children with soft
brown-black eyes-these are the con-
stituent portions Of the general pic
ture. At night, millions Of fireflies
flash and fade in the dark. How
much Of all this could Hitler change?

agents, but others are technicians
employed in the governments am
bilious program Of road and railway
construction and industrialization by
the building of cotton and woolen
mills. A blanket demand for the ex-
pulsion Of all Germans might arouse
Iranian sensibilities and thus play
into Berlin's hands.
Another factor that should be
reckoned. with is the attitude OF
Turkey. One of the late Mlstapha
Kenal's outstanding diplomatic
achievements was the negotiation of
the Saadabad pact, an agreement
among Turkey, Iraq, Iran and
Afghanistan for mutual support
against foreign aggression from any
quarter. Turkey already has shown
uneasiness regarding Persia since the
Anglo Russian alliance. A recent
editorial in the London Times init
mating that after the war Russia
was to be the leader in Eastern
Europe" caused alarmed comment in
the Turkish press, and a leading
Istanbul paper states editorially: If
Great Britain actually attacks Iran,
every heart in Near East Turkey will
be on the Iranian side" This shows
the delicacy with which the Iranian
problem should be handled.

Relations With Russio

Comments by official Soviet spokes-
men and the government
press Of Moscow indicate that Rus
STA realizes American material aid to
the Red armies is based solely on this
Governments policy of doing every
thing practicable to bolster the bat
tie against Hitlerism, and does not
signify any lessening of our opposi-
ton to Communism as such. All
Americans should have an equally
clear understanding of this Govern
ment's policy.
The Soviet reaction to the recent
exchange of notes between Under
secretary of State Summer Welles
and Constantine Oumansky, Russian
Ambassador here, which put in writ
ing American assurances of economic
assistance to Russia, was revealed in
an editorial appearing last week in
Pravda, authoritative Soviet news
paper.
Pointing out that the American
people long have stood with the
opponents of the Nazi barbarians,"
Pravda said: Nov, on the basis of
common interests rising from the
necessity Of fighting a common foe,
foundation has been laid for fruitful
cooperation between the Soviet
Union and the United States of
America. This cooperation is
based on the community of interests
of these two great powers faced with
the Nazi menace. This cooperation
corresponds to the state interests of
both the Soviet Union and of the
United States. Q) is calculated to
strengthen the national defense of
both countries and is directed at the
destruction of an enemy who threat
ems the security and freedom of all
peoples"
Moscow's understanding OF the
true significance of the exchange of
notes was explained further at press
conference in the Soviet capital last
week by S. A. Lozovsky, assistant
chief of the Soviet Information Bu-
reau. He was asked by a Brazilian
correspondent if the Welles- Ouman-
sky exchange of notes signified a
pact Of friendship and mutual as
sistance.
According to an account of the
press conference made public by the
Russian Embassy here, the Soviet
spokesman replied THE published
documents undoubtedly mark a rap
prochement between the United
States and the U. S. S. r., although
no pact of friendship was concluded
between these great countries. The
exchange OF notes testifles to the
fact that the United States has de-
cided to render economic assistance
to the Soviet Union in its struggle
against armed aggression. This
economic assistance resulted from. a
community Of immediate purpose of
the U. s. S. r. and the United States.
which is to annihilate at any cost
blood-thirsty Hitlerism. This. as
mentioned in Mr. Welles' note, is in
the interests of the national defense
OF the United States"

Threatened lron

The growing crisis throughout
the Near and Middle East seems to
be centering on Iran, better known
as Persia. The official change Of
name coincided with the revolution
which ousted the decadent Kajar
dynasty in 1925 and installed the
vigorous leader of the revolt as Shah
in Shah, or King of Kings. This man,
professional soldier of humble
origin, named Reza Khan Pahlevi,
undertook the modernization of his
country on the model of Mustapha
Kemal in neighboring Turkey And
in the sixteen years since he came to
power, he has done much to trans
form Iran along Western lines.
Unfortunately for the prospects Of
national regeneration, Iran is be-
coming a focal point in the game of
war politics. The Russo-German
conflict makes Iran both a possible
avenue for German attack upon
Britain's position in the Near East
via the Caucasus and an equally
possible avenue for British aid to
Russia via the same route. These
possibilities tend to place Trans neu-
trality and even independence in
double jeopardy.
Germany unquestionably has been
seeking to gain a foothold in Iran.
In this, Nazi diplomacy was favored
by the fact that Trans traditional
fears have been Russia and Britain,
both of whom intrigued against
each other for supremacy in the de-
crepit Persia of former days. A
generation ago, premature attempt
to modernize Persia under American
experts headed by Morgan Shuster
was thwarted by the joint opposition
Of Britain and Russia.
These baked hopes gave the driv-
ing power to the revolution which
seated Reza Khan on the throne.
The new monarch's foreign policy
has been characterized by a touchy
nationalism. America learned this
when Iran virtually broke of diplo-
matte relations some years ago be-
cause its Minister to Washington was
arrested on a speeding charge at
Elkton, Maryland, in disregard Of
his diplomatic immunity. Later on,
Trans relations with France were
similarly beclouded when a Paris
paper made bad pun which Reza
Shah considered reflection on his
dignity.
These episodes show how carefully
the Iranian government must be
handled. British diplomacy now is
putting pressure on Iran to expel
several thousand Germans who have
entered the country and who un-
questionably are seeking to make
trouble. Many of them are political

Doubts That Lasting Liberation
viii Be Promoted by Politicians.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star;
Secretary Cordell Hull forecast vic
tory "for remaining free peoples Of
the earth If they show unity of purpose. I"
He should be more explicit. The term
freedom is subject to many and varied
definitions. Certainly, to over 800 million
East Indians. British concepts OF free.
dom are far from acceptable, inasmuch
as these harassed, underpaid people have
been more or less enslaved for centuries.
Moreover, India Is not even remotely in
terested in New Deal theories of liberty,
which Is likewise true of millions Of pa
triotic American citizens.
According to the New Testament the
truth shall make men free and 1t seems
safe to say that lasting liberation will
not be promoted by politicians nor by
commercial interests. Eternal justice and
freedom emanate from higher and su-
perior sources. And in Ecclesiastes we
are reminded that wisdom Is better
than weapons Of war"

Defense First

The placing Of steel under 100 per
cent priority control to give defense
business "uncompromising" preced-
ence over civilian needs Is a neces-
sary step In the insurance of national
security. That this step has been
taken lends force to Leon Hender-
sons recent assertion that through
out the defense effort our sights have
been set too low in estimating raw
material requirements.
The steel priority order was based
on an anticipated shortage this year
OF 100000 tons. And the shortage
In 1912 probably will be greater. It
should be emphasized, however, that
the supply OF steel is ample for de-
tense needs. The pinch will be felt
in civilian lines-particularly by the
manufacturers of such products as
automobiles, refrigerators and wash
ing machines. Production Of these
commodities also will be seriously
affected by shortages in such metals
as copper, nickel and zinc.
According to current estimates.
IS 900 900 tons of steel should suffice
to meet the needs of defense. That,
on the basis Of present production,
would leave about $1,000 900 tons for
non-defense needs, total which is
in excess of civilian consumption last
year. With the national income
srising rapidly, however, and with
the Government having failed to
take effective measures to draw back
a substantial portion Of the increase
in taxes or savings, a heavy civilian
demand for steel products Is to be
expected. The basic purpose of the
priority order is to make certain, in
the face Of this potential civilian
demand, that there will be an ade-
quate supply Of steel when 1t is
needed for defense.
