A Task for Each.

Ii Cne 1uncJlOnS OF the volunteer
auxiliary police are confused with
those of the Metropolitan Police De-
partment, there is danger of injury
to both. We should be cautious
about any legislation which tends to
place members of the auxiliary po-
lice on the same footing with men,
bers of the regular force in the
performance of normal police work.
Creation of the auxiliary police, as
part of the machinery of civilian
defense, was in anticipation of an
emergency or series of emergencies,
such as air raids on the city, when
the volunteers would take over GER
tain duties performed by the police
In normal times, releasing the regu-
Jar police for other assignment. A
certain degree of service with regu-
lar policemen has been a part of the
training of the auxiliary police in
preparation for possible emergency.
This training has been excellent, and
both the auxiliaries and the regular
members Of the force should be
commended for the fine spirit of CO.
operation they have shown. 1t
should be possible to continue it.
But the Metropolitan Police De-
partment has its own problems,
which cannot be shared by the aux
iliary police, of furnishing adequate
police protection to the community
under normal conditions. 1t will be
mistake to attempt to divide these
problems with the auxiliary police.
The department now has an au-
thorized strength of I'LL. One
hundred ninety-five police were
added to the force last year and the
pending budget provides for 100
more. There are about 81 untitled
vacancies on the force, 10 to be
filled by the Women's bureau There
has been an extraordinary turnover
in the force, as in all organizations,
and existing vacancies are the re-
suit of turnover rather than of any
actual inability to get new men,
Major Kelly has had to fill some $50
vacancies in the past year.
1t is important, now, to train and
maintain an adequate police force
for normal police work, and as Com
missioner Mason has pointed out, it
Is the duty of Congress to provide
this force. If the budget slashes
have been too severe, the Congress
sional committees can remedy that
by adding more men. But the force
cannot be built up by utilizing the
part time work of volunteers, and
any such idea should be abandoned
for it's adoption would mean reliance
on an expedient that is essentially
unSound
1t is also important to maintain
the fine morale of the auxiliary po-
lice, and to continue enough train
Ing with the regular force to fit
It's members to take over certain
duties in time of emergency. But
they should not be made responsible
for any normal police work, and it
is highly essential to preserve the
basic principle of all civilian defense
work; that is, the spirit of the volun-
teer, who is offering his service for
the welfare of the community with
out thought of personal gain, ad-
Vancement or privilege.

Expresses Appreciation
OF Article on Peace Society.
To the Editor Of The Star:

40 the Hdltor OF The Star:
l wish to express grateful appreciation
OF the admirable article on the American
Peace Society by Frederic j. Haskin in
The Sunday Star January 3. His tribute
to the services of this society for inter-
national peace and order throughout its
long and honored history is most gen.
erous
The American Peace Society ALWAYS
has stood for the defense of Justice. 1t
always has supported patriotically the
American Government in its wars to
defend justice-and now more than ever
during this crisis of civilization under the
immediate menace of international
anarchy.
This society gravely is concerned not
only with winning the war but especially
IN plans for postwar reconstruction and
organization. 1t is placing its facilities
and its Official organ, World Affairs. at
the service of all who are helping to
plan international order where Justice
can be guaranteed and war prevented
The society, as democratic organiza-
ton, except by a referendum of all its
members cannot take definite posi-
tion either in the advocacy of, or opposi-
ton to, any particular project for in
ternational peace and order. 1t has not
expressed any opinion concerning vari-
Gus plans for world organization or for
the maintenance of peace by an inter-
national police force. Faithful to Its
great aims, it will continue to do all in
its power to help awaken public opinion
to the tremendous responsibilities the
United States has assumed in the estab-
lishment Of a sound international order
and In the firm maintenance of inter-
national security.

President, The American Peace Society.

SpeCtiVely at Washington and
Chungking marks an important step
in China's attainment of full
sovereignty and diplomatic equality.
1t is hopeful harbinger of that bet
ter era in the Far East which is ex-
pected after the defeat of Japan and
her aggressive usurpationS. AS the
Chinese Foreign Minister T. v. Soong
puts it, China'S legitimate aspirations
have now been satisfied and she can
go to the peace conference on an
equal footing with her Allies.
The event itself, so momentous in
its implications, passed off with what,
at first sight, appears singular
casualneSs. At Chungking, as at
Washington, the signing was rou-
tine diplomatic performance, with no
celebration or elaborate speech MAX

however, this was natural. Ever
since the revolution, more than 80
years ago, which overthrow the
Manchu Empire and at least out
wardly transformed China from an
Oriental monarchy into nation
state along Western lines, the
Chinese have been demanding the
abolition of extra -territoriality as
necessary part of their modernized
status. The United States Govern
ment has long since agreed to the
remuneration in principle, and the
British government has come to
much the same attitude The change
would probably have been effected
some years ago, if Japanese aggres-
sion had not thrown the Far East
into chaotic turmoil
Actually, the United States and
Britain have given up nothing of
practical significance. yet the psy-
Geological aspect of this formal
remuneration is important. Free
China is undergoing terrific
ordeal. For more than five years
Japan has been applying a COM
bined process of armed invasion
and economic strangulation. To the
Chinese it is bitter irony that their
situation has greatly worsened since
Britain and the United States have
become their formal Allies in the
common struggle against japanese
aggression. The closing of the Burma
Road last spring severed their last
practicable connection with the
outer world. The meager supplies
now being flown in by air from India
over the towering Hinalayas, though
perhaps equal in volume, as Presi-
dent Roosevelt has recently stated
can hardly compare in quality with
those previously obtained by land
and presumably cannot be greatly
augmented by this substitute
method
China today is hard pressed. In
this extremity, both her leaders and
her people feel growing resentment
that her Western Allies are not de-
voting larger share of their striking
power against Japan. Whether or
not such feelings are justified by the
larger strategy of truly global war,
they exist and must be recognized.
At so tense a moment, the formal
satisfaction of Chinas claims to dip
lomatic equality comes as a helpful
antidote to popular impatience and
disillusionment Nevertheless, this is
no lasting substitute for that mate
rial aid which China expects and
which must be forthcoming in the
| not-tOo- distant future.

1t goes without saying that the Nazis
will retire, or be eliminated" Hitler
will retire into the silence at Berchtes-
gaden, or into more remote eternal
silence. But the generals will not come
clanking forward to take his place. They
will never suppose us to be such fools
as to accept them as more trustworthy
than the Nazis. They will put forward,
instead, some figure whom they will hope
can command our conf1dence-and can,
of later or at convenient moment
when affairs are not so dangerously
pressing
They will put forward a man like
Banker Hjalmar Schacht, or even per-
haps Pastor Niemoller, said to have
been released some time ago from the
concentration camp at Dachau on mill
tary insistence, and from whom nothing
has been heard since. They may well
reason that it would be difficult indeed
for any American or Briton to find cause
to say that he would not take the word
of Niemoller, the enemy and victim Of
the Nazis, the pillar of Christian recti-
tude. The army leaders would OF course,
have to deceive Niemoller as well-but
what of that? He is a German. he
would make the best terms he could for
Germany-and afterward, WELL means
were found for disposing of Erzberger
and Rathenau when the time came.
Let us hope that we have all learned
our lesson from the past. In dealing
with Germany, we have one sure course:
Every sacrifice for dictated peace, no
thought to negotiated peace. They
have invoked the sword, so by the sword
let them abide"
