LocuI Tuxpuyer's Part

In discussions of the broad prin-
ciples underlying urban redevelop-
ment and alley elimination legis-
lation for Washington, too little
emphasis has been placed on the
part to be played by the local tax
payer. Senator McCarran would be
we'll advised to request report from
the District Commissioners on this
subject, with special reference to the
differences between his own and
Senator Capper's bill.
The Capper bill provides twenty
million dollar advance from the
Treasury. to be repaid after ten
years. If there is deficit, the Dis
trict is to repay half OF it in ten
annual installments. The Budget
Bureau has indicated some objection
to this plan, evidently preferring
that no ceiling be placed on the sums
to be advanced and that the money
be authorized as needed. The Budget
Bureau would specify the manner in
which the District is to repay its
part of the deficit. matter which
the Commissioners correctly feel
should be left to their Judgment.
There has been no report on the
McCarran bills financing provisions,
either from the Commissioners or
the Budget Bureau. That bill pro-
vides a $3O,0O0.0OO Federal loan. to
be secured by bonds of the proposed
Housing and Redevelopment Agency.
The method of repayment is not
specified. In view of the Budget Bu-
reau's comments on the Capper bill
plan, it presumably would find some
objection to the McCarran bill plan.
Under the Capper bill, publicly
built. low cost housing would be
financed by the Federal loans and
grants utilized by the National Capt.
tai Housing Authority, as at present,
with tax exemption constituting the
Districts contribution. Under the
McCarran bill, the NCHA would go
out OF the picture. Only two million
dollars of the thirty million dollar
initial loan would be available for
publicly built, low-cost housing and
Federal subsidies would be limited
to eight million dollars. In addition,
rent subsidies would be furnished
through direct local appropriations
to the Board of Public Welfare.
1t is important that the local tax
payer know something about the size
Of the obligation he would assume
under either bill. There are now no
official estimates available. There
should be. It is unlikely, for in
stance, that the local taxpayer would
be willing to forego taking full ad-
vantage of Federal subsidies which
might be available to other commu-
mites but which are arbitrarily
limited under the McCarran bill.
Local budgeting authorities also
should be asked to state their views
on the probable cost of the rental
subsidies, as provided under the
McCarran bill.

Crisis Within japan

1t is an interesting commentary on
the intensity of the play of hidden
forces behind the scenes that, just
when most eyes were fixed on Ger
many to discern signs of domestic
crack-up, an internal crisis appeared
in its Axis partner, Japan.
That this crisis is very real there
can be no reasonable doubt, eSpe-
cially since it occurred only few
hours before Soviet Russia's formal
denunciation of the Russo-Japanese
nonaggreSSion treaty. For weeks,
qualified foreign observers have pre-
dicted that the fall of Premier Koiso
was certain; that he would have to
be made the political Scapegoat for
the shortcomings of his masters, the
war-lord clique which sat behind the
curtain and pulled the strings. How
ever. the fall of Koiso might, under
certain circumstances. have meant
no more than the previous fall of his
predecessor, General TOTO, last July,
which did not basically alter the
political situation. In that case, one
more front man" would have been
showed forward to carry the load and
assume outward responsibility.
Today, under the combined impact
of cumulative military disasters and
the diplomatic threat from Moscow,
it is possible that more far-reaching
political changes impend. Indeed,
almost anything is possible. The
fact that not merely Premier Koiso
but also his entire cabinet have
resigned cleans the political slate,
while the Emperor's reported sum-
mons to Baron Kentaro Suzuki to
attempt the formation of a new
cabinet can be variously interpreted.
The 77-year-old Suzuki has been
classed as a moderate and was
wounded by the fanatical officers
clique which staged an abortive
revolt a decade ago. This might be
the first move toward bid for
compromise peace with the western
powers before Russia entered the
picture.
On the other hand, it might be a
gesture to gain time for the delivery
of an ultramilitaristic coup whereby
the army. discarding any further
disguise. would proclaim a full
fledged totalitarian dictatorship with
a program of war to the death. De-
spite the presence of some moderate
elements in Japan, it is difficult to
imagine the army and the ultra
nationalists who effectively rule
Japan renouncing their power and
surrendering Internationally to ia
pans enemies. At any rate, the true
significance of current events in
Tokyo should soon appear.

Early Spring Rains

After March winds are done with
their gusty, unpredictable playful
ness comes the period Of spring
rains. The countryman admits
april showers" is a poetic term for
the precipitation. But on the farms
when condensed moisture falls in
drops for more than an hour or two,
it is just rain. There is something
about early spring rains, however.
that distinguish them from those
of summer and fall.
In the first place it does not make
much difference so far as farm work
Is concerned. There is no planting,
cultivating. haying or harvesting
with pressing demands. Early rains
help pull the frost from the ground;
they mean that the locally famous
mudholes in dirt roads will dry up
sooner. The sooner the frost is out
of the ground, the sooner man
will not have to carry a roll Of
chicken wire in the back Of the
truck in case he gets begged down.
It is pleasant to work in the farm
shop on an April day when the rain
is drumming a steady rhythm on
the sheet-iron roof. In the tool
shed, man can overhaul his plant
er, drill, harrows and other ma
chinery to the accompaniment Of
falling drops. There is always a
job in the woodshed. cutting more
kindling and piling up tiers of split
wood for the winter that is sure to
come. And yes, one might as well
face it. mother always has few
jobs in the house for a man on q
rainy day.

To postpone the San Francisco Con-
ference would involve great difficulties.
The appointed date Is not far distant,
and in conference of this magnitude
the physical preparations are stupen-
dous. Delegations from distant countries
are no doubt already on the way. Trav-
cling becomes more difficult as the war
approaches a climax. Loads of docu-
ments and assorted papers must go from
Washington and the other major capt.
tails
But these considerations are small
compared to the dangers involved in the
present state Of unpreparedness on the
major issues to be considered. There
appeared to be some danger while ago
that public opinion would expect too
much of the conference. Now 1t Is clear
that the public reaction will be extreme
ly skeptical. If the conference is held,
out soon to re-establish public conf
dence. for it has been severely knocked
about since Yalta.
-
Regrettably, the blame for much of
this failure must fall on the President
We have seen repeated almost every
defect that has always characterized his
handling of foreign policy. He still uses
amateurs and personal cronies in great
international affairs. His State Depart
ment and major diplomatic agents
abroad offer no great assurance of con-
fidence to the public. Secretary Stettin-
ius is man of real capacity, but it is
evident that he must handle things only
as the agent Of a President who, be-
cause of absences from Washington and
preoccupation with many other prob
lens, cannot give diplomacy sufficient
personal direction.
There is also plain the tendency to
imprOVise from day to daY which al

Fumbling Diplomacy
Bv RAYMOND NOfe,

ways has been the Presidents great
weakness in foreign affairs. The fuss
over the votes in the proposed assem-
bly, shows this. This matter is not really
important because, under the Dunbar
ton Oaks plan, the assembly is largely
limited to discussion. With a veto in
the council of the proposed league,
Russia and the United States would
be as well served by one assemblyman
as by three But the plan agreed to at
Yalta was kept secret, thus magnifying
its significance far beyond what was
warranted. Then the plan for three
votes was announced.
At last we shift our position with the
meaningless gesture of proposing to
reduce our votes to one. What was the
purpose of this? To shame Russia into
renouncing two of its votes? If so, what
must the Russian government think of
such coquettish behavior? What is this
meeting at San Francisco to be-a game
Of competitive throw-away or an effort
to write constitution of the world?
Once before, in 1888, an international
conference was held in which all the
great issues were undecided before the
meeting began. When things started,
delegates wandered around in a fog,
trying to learn by remote control what
Mr.. Roosevelt was currently thinking.
The whole conference fell to pieces.
Is the San Francisco meeting running
into the same shallow water? If that
be true, any inconvenience caused by a
postponement would be worth while For
the glow Of victory at arms should not
be dinmed by an exhibition of fun
bling diplomacy.
Is this the experienced hand in foreign
affairs that campaign orators told us
was indispensable in the four years

This Changing World
By Constantine Br0wn

Some of the major mistakes of the
German high command on the western
front are so inexpucable to those who
know how the Germans operate that
some military observers believe they
have been committed on purpose in
order to open up the richest portions Of
the Reich to the western Allies.
The German general staff, whose
military ability Is undeniable, always has
lacked political understanding 1t is
assumed that when these professional
soldiers realized that defeat was in
evitable they decided on this course Of
action without consulting the Nazi po-
itical leaders in the hope that it would
facilitate the negotiation of an Honor
able surrender" to Gen. Eisenhower.
The various reports received in the
last 10 days about the supreme Allied
commander being approached by Ger
man military chiefs with the view to
negotiating a surrender have not been
confirmed from any quarter. But they
are not entirely discounted either in
Washington or London.
The German military men still seem
to think they can strike bargain with
us and the British. They fail to under
stand that while unquestionably there
are a number Of political differences
among the Big Three, militarily we
stand together and no American COM
mander would accept anything but un-
conditional surrender in the full mean
ing of the word.
The most outstanding German stra-
tegic mistakes are listed as follows:
When German reconnaissance gave
positive information that the Allied
forces had been strongly reinforced
after the German temporary success in
Luxembourg and Gen. Eisenhower was
set to strike. no less than 20 divisions,
including the strongest armored forces,
were ordered to the eastern front This
could not have been an error of judg-
ment because no capable officer would
have parted with the best available
forces on the eve of a strong enemy
attack. Moreover the German high
command was fully aware that the
Allies had such an air supremacy that
these departing forces would be under
constant air attack. But it apparently
was not difficult to convince the
Fuehrer's headquarters Of the wisdom
of such move, for the Red armies then
were driving in force toward the Oder
River
1t is recalled that for several days
