Counterfeit Prosperity
By David Laurence
From Montreal Information.


1t Is a return to real prosperity
which we should long for, for everything
that certain periods in the past, every
thing that the war years just over,
have meant to us in terms of comfort
and ease were nothing but a counter
felt prosperity. Thus it was that Cam
ada enjoyed only semblance of pros
perity during the era of railway con-
struction because, when the lines
were finished we discovered that our
country had neither population nor pro-
duction to make their operation profit
able in normal times. 1t was a
semblance Of prosperity that we knew
during the first great World War and
during the years of 1927-28-29 which,
in the enthusiasm of the moment, we
considered to be the starting-on point
OF an era OF endless enjoyment and
happiness, and which ended in the
great crash Of 1929. It has been q
semblance Of prosperity which we have
enjoyed since 1899. the ransom Of which
Is the enormous debt which we have
accumulated and which will weigh
heavily on the shoulders OF succeeding

defense Of the country, as we are doing
now, is a supreme sacrifice without rep
resentation. Besides, 1t is not right to
deny the returning soldiers such a share
in the Government which would not
interfere with the Federal interest.
I want to continue to repeat, for the
purpose Of emphasis, that notwith-
standing all the things have said or
that may be said, indicating the rights
of the people. there must be no con-
fiict with the public interest. Every.
body must concede that the public Fed
eral interest is dominant In the Dis
trict of Columbia and must remain
dominant. Whenever 1t conflicts with
the local interest those things local must
disappear, because the Federal Govern
ment came over here to establish its
workshop. The people understood they
could not vote when they came to live
in Washington even If they didn't un-
derstand 1t when they were born here.
But that does not modify the funda-
mental, basic human rights Of the
people here. Those rights are rooted
in the philosophy of free Government.
It is our high duty to give to these
people whatever can be given that does
not interfere with the public interest.
That is the picture, gentlemen Of
the subcommittee, as it presents itself
to me. II we can get the country to
understand the reasons ON which the
statement which has just been made
are based and, In addition to that, have
them also to understand that II the

To Remove q Wrono

One Of the best statements of the
Districts case for representation in
Congress and the electoral college
was made last winter by Chairman
Hatton w. Summers of the House
judiciary Committee. appearing be-
fore a subcommittee in behalf Of
the resolution for a constitutional
amendment sponsored by himself
and Senator Capper of Kansas.
In view of the hearings tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock before sub
committee of the Senate Judiciary
Committee on the same amendment,
Mr.. Summers statement is reprinted
in the fourth column of this page
today. 1t would be difficult to find
a better summary of the issues in
volved or a more convincing argu-
ment. No one has ever publicly
attempted to answer Mr.. Summers
and The Star doubts that anybody
will. To deny the truth of what he
says is to repudiate the basic prin-
ciples of democratic government
Mr.. Summers would win in any
debate.
The opposition to this amendment
takes a more insidious form than
open attack on its merits and is
therefore more difficult to combat.
The opposition is inaction. 1t is
hard to beat because it operates
under the surface, and there is no
direct pressure from the voters to
bring it out. Voteless ourselves, we
lack this means of applying pressure.
This makes all the greater our
reliance on men in Congress who
are motivated by their own desire
to correct a fundamental injustice.
There is no question as to the abso-
Lutte wrong of continued denial to
the people of Washington Of the
right OF representation in their Gov
ernment. There is no question that
the people of Washington want that
right, that its exercise would vastly
improve local government, that it
would be of invaluable assistance to
Congress in its exclusive legislative
control over the seat of government,
and that it would remove mocking
contradiction between what we
practice and what we preach.
Our chief hopes rest with men in
Congress who are willing to under
take the removal of a wrong because
they know it is wrong.

number OF different interpretations.
To some readers 1t will have radical
connotations; to others 1t will be too

opinion 1t is both conservative and
progressive. But he wants a "defini-
ton Of the essentials of a basic
American education" as related to
the great doctrines of our heritage,
the tremendous, bare truths that
have made and kept US a free peo-
ple." Many of his contemporaries,
both old and young, will share with
him the faith that: "Only by the
development of and agreement upon
such a granite body of common
knowledge may we proceed in

Education and the Bomb

Writing in the New York Times
Frank D. Ashburn, headmaster of
Brooks School at North Andover,
Massachusetts,, says: There has
probably never been an academic
year in American history which
opened with as great a sense of
urgency and responsibility as the
present one" The business of edu-
cation, he explains, is "still dis
tointed from the war" Teachers
are lacking, student bodies have yet
to be organized, many young men
and women, boys and girls, who
should be back with their books are
absent overseas, in Army camps and
Navy stations, in factories still en-
gagged with Government contracts
or "just resting" from the expert
ence through which they recently
have passed.
Mr.. Ashburn continues: "A period
of adjustment is inevitable" and
there is no reason to believe that
1t will not Involve pain and trou-
BILE" A season of "cynicism, expert
mentation and revolt" followed the
First World War. Young people, like
people not young, are reacting
against being pushed around and
fenced in. They would be less than
human If they did not wish to be
free from the restrictions and
coercions of the war. But there is
another factor in the overall pic
ture of education in the United
States. Mr.. Ashburn refers to the
atomic bomb as "a major symbol
Everybody is puzzled about what
this new vast power" signifies "fol
benefcence or evil" In the event OF
the employment of this dynamic
force only for good there is no oc-
casion for worry-in the schools OF
anywhere else. 1t is in the danger
that the disintegration OF the atom
may be misapplied that the primary
issue is found.
Children now in their teens, Mr.
Ashburn argues, will grow up TAX
ing this as a matter of course" But
they must be prepared for their fu-
ture, whether it is to be beautiful
or hideous." The progressive spirit
IN education is challenged by tn.
imperative demand thus expressed
A child must be taught a vocation
he must be trained for a Job, vel
he also must be instructed in hov
to be a citizen, how to be "a mora
and spiritual being" And that, Mr.
Ashburn declares, is where tn,
atomic bomb comes in" The libera
sshoolmasters for whom he speak

liberal education are made tn,

there can be nothing but catas

-
This diplomatic defeat, which may
appear Of secondary significance to the
average man in this country, may have
important repercusSions in the future.
In fact, the Western democracies are
placing their stamp Of approval on fur
further territorial conquests by Russia,
which will have complete control over
large and rich territories inhabited by
tens Of millions Of persons. These peo-
pies have to choose between accepting
this situation, much as they dislike their
new police of government, or op-
posing 1t. In the latter case, they know
the fate that awaits them-mass depor-
tations, concentration camps, starvation
and frequently legal assassinations.
Russia also has taken advantage OF
this first meeting Of the Big Five For
eign Ministers to peg her claims to naval
and air bases in areas far removed from
her. She has indicated that in the
settlement Of the Italian peace she
wants slices Of the former Italian En-
pire, such as Eritrea, q port In Tripoli-
tania and some strategic islands in the
Eastern Mediterranean.
The American, British and French
governments felt that while Italy should
be clipped Of the political control OF
her empire, some portions should be
returned to her under the guise of
trusteeship, supervised by the Trustee
ship Committee of the United Nations
ORGANIZATION. In this manner Italy
would not be in q position to use these
territories for future aggression and at
the same time would be able to obtain
raw materials and have q place for her
surplus population.
Russia showed little interest in Italy's
future. But she insisted, and is re-
ported to have obtained, in principle
at least, the consent Of the other Allies
to the bases she has selected.

that nothing definite has been settled

personal relationship which only ex-
perience can bring.
Also, it would appear that due to these
various reorganizations, rs well as to
the short time available, there was in
sufficient preparation in the way of pre-
liminary discussions. It was known that
the subjects to be laid before the coun-
Gil would include the making of peace
treaties with Italy, Romania, Hungary,
Bulgaria and Finland, and that an i'm
mense amount of detailed discussion
would be necessary.
II such q conference is to be success
full in the limited time available-and
in these difncult days, foreign minis
ter cannot be long absent from his own
capital-it Is vital that there be care
full examination before hand. by trusted
subordinates, of the many details to be
taken up. most Of which can be disposed
of by the subordinates so that the time
Of their chiefs will not be wasted In
endless examination Of trifles. Only the
major issues should ever come before
the principals.
In the case of the present meeting
this was not done, for the reasons al
ready stated; or at any rate it was i'm
perfectly done. Moreover the agree
ment on the agenda appears to have
left something to be desired. so that
subjects were brought up which were
not originally intended for discussion at
this session.
The present meeting of the foreign
ministers must, therefore, be regarded
as merely preparatory. 1t has produced
no peace treaties; but it has, at any
rate, begun to clear away the debris of
detail. The five foreign ministers have
come to know one another, and to begin
to understand each others point of view.
They depart for their respective capi-
tails, leaving behind their deputies to
continue the labor over details, leaving
behind also the secretariat which will do
so much of the hard work which is the
foundation for successful accomplish
ment at any international gathering.
When the five ministers meet again
it will be under better-ordered condi.
tions and with much improved prospect.
for constructive results. The staff wori
has been begun, even though the min.
tsters had to begin it themselves, and
from now on the new organization can
be expected to function much more
smoothly and effectively, though it may
still suffer from growing palms." The
next meeting Of the ministers cannot
be far distant: when it takes place, the
results Of the present preliminary and
exploratory discussions, and Of the In
tervening period Of star work, win be-
come apparent.
There Is no reason for grave anxiety,
considering the circumstances, over the
departure of the ministers from London
this time without major results to be
chalked up. Should the next meeting
fail likewise, it will be time enough to
talk Of dismal failure and insurmount-
able obstacles. But it is safe to venture
the prophecy that it will not fail, be-
cause the reasons for the present failure
Will have been largely eliminated.
