OF the picture of American COM
munity life for more than a hundred
and fifty years. The question is:
How can the people be at once free
and secure? Monsignor Johnson
and DR.. Slavin reply with a
great spiritual affirmation phrased
in these compelling words:
What America processes to stand
for, what America strives for, what
America is fighting for, what America
dreams, has neither reality nor sub
stance apart from belief in God. We
talk OF the brotherhood of man, but
men are brothers only because there
is a common Father in heaven. We
dilate on the sacredness of the hu-
man personality; but human beings
are sacred, not because we say so.
but because they are creatures whom
God has fashioned according to His
image and likeness, redeemed by the
precious blood of His Son and des-
tined for eternal union with Him.
There is only one Name -.
in which men can be saved"
Not only in Lent is such a pro-
nouncement worthy of deepest con-
Sideration.
Evening star., 1944-03-19
A Wise Course

The House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee has acted wisely in shelving
the so-called Palestine resolution.
Tor to have done otherwise at this
time might we'll have led to a need
less and possibly even dangerous
international controversy. The
measure would have placed Congress
on record as urging free migration
OF Jews into the Holy Land and as
favoring the formation of a Jewish
commonwealth there, all in dis
agreement with current British pol
icy under which the migration is to
be strictly limited. The issue in
volved is delicate, difficult and
explosive, and how best to settle it
is primarily Britain's problem, not
ours. The central factor is the view
point of the Arabs, their resistance
to the idea of a Jewish Palestinian
state being deep enough to express
itself in strong-and perhaps violent
reaction to any abrupt change in
the status quo or to any ill-consid-
cred American interference.
Since it is direct British worry,
moreover; since there is no simple
formula for eliminating it, and since
our own connection with it-in a
legal sense-is little more than that
OF an interested observer, the pro-
priety of a congressional resolution
on the matter would be seriously
open to question: Certainly such
action would at least tend to en-
parrass and offend one of our chief
allies and it could conceivably cause
trouble in an area important to the
war. In the circumstances, as the
State Department, Secretary Stim-
son, General Marshall and other
well-informed authorities have ad-
vised, its promotion in Congress at
this particular period would be un-
fortunate from both the political
and military standpoints. Later on,
In less tense and crucial time, when
the atmosphere is more propitious,
the United States may be able to
play a constructive role in helping
to solve the problem. Meanwhile,
however, it is best that the House
and Senate are not going to act
hastily upon it.
Evening star., 1944-03-19
Selling Surplus Equipment

Representative Cochran of Mis-
souri, has done we'll to make public
the details of one of the first scan
dals of this war resulting from sale
OF surplus or salvageable Army
goods. There is as yet no suggestion
OF fraud, but there Is indication of
what seems to have been almost
criminal carelessness in disposal of
public property. Unless a rigid pro-
cedure is established now and
scrupulously maintained in the ulti-
mate sale Of great quantities of
surplus goods, the opportunities for
fraud and tremendous losses to the
public will be unlimited.
The case mentioned by Mr.. Coch-
ran is relatively unimportant, except
as an example. It involved the sale
OF over-age dry-cell batteries by
the Army for $50, and a resale by
the purchaser of the same goods for
more than $4,000. For many years
after the end of the last war cases
of this kind were coming to light.
The whole wasteful extravaganza,
which seems to be an inevitable
accompaniment of arming for war,
and the excessive stocking up ma
terial which is never used seem to
invite lax disregard of values.
The Baruch-Hancock report en-
phasized the need for most care
fully drawn program for disposal
of surplus goods as protection
against dumping as we'll as outright
loss to the public. The battery in
cident is reminder of dangers
which are so readily foreseen.

One-Sided Casualties

Probably the most remarkable
single feature of the battles being
waged against Japan is the sensa-
tional one-sidedness of the casu-
altles. Thus, according to the latest
report, General Merrill's American
troops in Northern Burma have
slain $50 enemy soldiers at a loss
to themselves of only seven killed
a. ratio of about SO to |.
That this sort of thing is not a
freak, occurring only by accident in
rare instances, is clear from the
results achieved in other areas ever
since our forces assumed the initia-
tive in the Pacific by striking at
Guadalcanal in August, 1912 Like
the campaign in Northern Burma,
two other recent developments-the
invasion Of the Admiralty Islands
and the invasion of the Marshalls
-spectacularly underScore the point.
In the AdmiraltyS, within a week
after the initial landings, the score

wounded as against sos American
casualties. including only 81 dead
a ratio of roughly 10 to /. Similarly,
in the Marshalls, at least 1922 of
the enemy were slain as against 286
Of our own men, plus 80 missing
a ratio of better than % to /.
This amazing -sidedness, in
fact, has become so typical of our
Pacific battles that it is now be-
ginning to seem part of the natural
order Of things, for even at Tarawa,
where our losses were exceptionally
heavy, at least five japanese died
for every American killed. A COM
bination of factors appears to be
responsible--the enemy's refusal to
surrender, his reckless and militarily
foolhardy punched attacks (as in
the early phases of the Guadalcanal
campaign, and, above all, the over
whelming superiority and fierce in
tensity of our firepower.
AS result, on the ground as well
as in the air and at sea, our margins

Stain Acts Alone

Ihe decision by Marshal Stain to
play lone hand in diplomatic deal
lngs with the Badoglio government
in Italy would give rise to less con-
Germ If it could be viewed as an
isolated incident. But there is every
reason to believe that it is nothing
of the sort. On the contrary, it seems
rather evident that this latest Soviet
maneuver is part of a studied
pattern of diplomatic and political
activity tending to stifle the hopes
that were raised by the bright
promise of the Moscow and Teheran
declarations.
The known facts will not support
a conclusion that the United States,
Britain and Russia have come to the
end OF their experiment in political
collaboration. Although there un-
doubtedly are straws pointing in
that direction, it is much too early
in the game and the evidence is
altogether too meager to warrant
any assumption that the three most
powerful members of the United
Nations are faced with an imminent
failure of their effort to work and
live together.
If there is no ground for excessive
pessimism, however, there is ample
reason for concern at the direction
which Soviet policy is taking, and
the language used by Secretary of
State Hull in commenting on the
Badoglio incident clearly indicates
that he shares this concern.
One OF the more important actions
at the Moscow conference was the
setting up of the Advisory Council
Tor Matters Relating to Italy. This
council was composed of representa-
tlves of Russia, the United States
and Britain, and it was agreed that
nonmllltary questions arising in
connection with Italy would be re-
ferred to it. There is no question
but that this Government and the
British have lived up to the letter
and spirit of this agreement. But
Marshal Stain, in the highly impor-
tant matter of comforting diplomatic
recognition on the Badoglio regime,
elects to play a lone hand, ignoring
both the council and the American
and British governments.
This naturally is embarrassing to
us since we have not extended
diplomatic recognition to Badoglio
and, in fact, have had an under
standing with the British that the
Italian people would be permitted
to choose their own government once
Rome is in Allied hands. What effect
Stains unexpected move will have
on this arrangement remains to be
seen, but it seems plain enough, on
the surface at least, that it will tend
to hamper rather than help us. And
II the course which the Russian
Premier has pursued in this instance
is to serve as guide and precedent
for the future, one does not need to
be an alarmist to anticipate inter-
Allied difficulties of truly danger
GUS character.
