Newspaper TercentenurY

From the Manchester Guardian.
The Swedish press is celebrating its
tercentenary this year, and the Post
Office is issuing special stamp to COM
memorate the event. The distinction of
being Swedens oldest newspaper writes
a Stockholm correspondent belongs to
an official publication on the lines of
our London Gazette-Post and In
rikes Tidningar. 1t has appeared more
or less regularly since l645, and is
thus 20 years older than the Gazette.
The royal decree under which the
Swedish newspaper was established
instructed the chief postal officer of
the time to employ correspondents in
the principal foreign cities and to print
short extracts of the news thus obtained.
The paper was to be edited with 'dis-
cretion and judgment" and the post
master General was directed so to mod
crate what he printed that no injury
was done to crown or government. All
of which has rather modern ring
about it. A curious fact about Post
and Inrikes Tidningar is that it is
owned and published by the Swedish
Academy and is the principal source
of income of that institution. The
academy also owns one of the show
places of Stockholm-a restaurant once
frequented by the poet Bellman. One
wonders whether the idea would bear
the strain of export How would 1t be
to turn over the London Gazette and,
say, Fleet Streets Cheshire Cheese to
some deserving cultural institution-the
much-talked-of National Theater. or the
Halle?

Approaches to Singapore
By Maj. George Fielding Eiof

will only be undertaken, We may pre-
sumo. if the state of the japanese de-
tenders is such that the risk of defeat
may be heavily discounted.
So much for the immediate prospects
of the Southeast Asia Command, max
ing their plans and concentrating their
forces as they await the breaking of
the monsoon. Meanwhile, the second
part of this campaign is in progress
around the shores of the great island
of Borneo. 1t is being conducted, under
the overall direction of Gen. Mac
Arthur, by the lst Australian Army,
supported by units of the British Far
Eastern feet and the United States 7th
fleet, and by American and Australian
Air Forces.
For the moment, the objectives appear
to be to gain control of the principal
ports and oil resources of Borneo; but
obviously We do not stop there. Only
two Australian divisions are at present
engaged, the 7th and 9th; but another
will shortly be available from New
Guinea, and there are two others, now
mopping up on Bougainville and New
Britain, respectively, which may be avail
able by the end of the year or before.
Also veteran New Zealand division
from Italy will shortly return home, and
later on may become available for
further use against the Japanese.
Finally there is the prospect that a
Netherlands division, to be followed by
one or two more, soon may arrive in
the Far East.
So there seems to be a very good
chance that a drive for the liberation
of the Netherlands Indies may be de-
veloping, and that a hand may be
stretched out across the South China
Sea to aid Admiral Mountbatten as he
progresses toward Singapore. In that
case, as the forces join, it seems likely
that the Australians and Dutch will
pass from MacArthur's control to
Mountbatten's, and that the latter
officer will take charge of all these
southern operations against the scat
tered but still formidable elements of
the Japanese army which still must be
dealt with. Fortunately, they can be
dealt with one by one, as their loss of
sea and air command have isolated them
from each other.

Charter HEARINGS

There is no occasion to dwell at
length on the statements submitted
to the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee in behalf of the San
Francisco Charter as that body
opened the hearings which surely
will lead to ratification by the
Senate
AS the committee got down to
consideration of the text of the
Charter, there were number of
questions designed to clarity the
meaning of technical points, and
this is as it should be. But the
significant thing is that at no time
did there develop within the COM
mittee the slightest suggestion of
opposition to the Charter itself.
This results from the fact that
the fight for adoption of the Charter
by this country has long since been
fought and won. Perhaps the most
important factor contributing to
this victory was the firm resolve of
the vast majority of our people that
we must do everything within our
power to prevent another war. A
second and hardly less important
factor was the wisdom and the
patience shown by Mr.. Stettinius
and his associates in the various
steps eliminating in the negotiation
of this agreement. AS far as cir
cumStances permitted their work
was done in the open, and when they
were through the American people
as well as their representatives in
the Senate were satisfied that the
Charter in its present form is the
best agreement that could be made
among the fifty nations in attend
ance at San Francisco.
There are those who say that the
Senate will ratify the Charter be-
cause it is, in fact, an innocuous
and futile thing. 1t is possible, of
course, that events may confirm this
cynical judgment. But, as has been
said before, it is this Charter or
nothing, and most of us will go
along with the Charter as it is,
hoping and believing that the con-
science and the good sense of men
throughout the world will insist that
it be made to serve the purposes for
which it is intended.

A Desirable Project

It is difficult to understand why
Congress has been so dilatory in ap-
propriating money for census of
manufactures and related studies
bearing directly upon plans for re-
conversion. A bill to this end has
been languishing in the House, al
though the need for it's enactment
seems obvious. The war has scram-
bled our economy. New industries
have been born. Old ones have been
changed, expanded or relocated. The
population has shifted, incomes have
greatly increased, spending habits
have been modified, and any number
of other factors have been affected
in such a way as to make the last
available statistics woefully made
quate from the standpoint of revert
ing to peacetime production and
marketing.
The bill now stymied in the House
would make available some $18,000.-
900 to permit the proper Government
agencies to undertake a complete
census of the Nations manufactur-
ing establishments, to make surveys
of the war-induced shift of our labor
forces and population, and to gather
reliable and comprehensive data on
consumer income, consumer spend
ing and consumer savings. Months
before his death President Roosevelt
strongly urged the adoption of such
a program President Truman has
urged it. Judge Vinson, outgoing
head of the Office of War Mobiliza-
ton and Mr.. Morgenthau's successor
as Treasury Secretary, has urged it.

Dr.. Brooks

No man of his time lived a more
useful life than the Reverend Doc
tor Walter Henderson Brooks. His
fame may not have been world
wide, wealth in material terms
never came to him, his principal
achievements were not sensational
nor spectacular; but he served his
God, his country and all its people
with zeal, dignity, an efficiency
and a fruitfulness rarely if ever ex-
celled by any clergyman. Dying at
ninety three. he has laid down his
work with all his faculties of mind
and body unimpaired. The last of
his days were golden with fulf1lment,
and it was part of his reward that
he was permitted to enjoy them still
young and still ardent in spirit.
DR.. Brooks was born in slavery.
His boyhood was spent in his native
Richmond, bonded to tobacco fac
tory. Freed by the Emancipation
Proclamation and prepared by a
white Sunday school teacher, he en-
tered Lincoln University in Pennsyl-
vania in 1866. His experience there
provided a cultural foundation for
his whole career as minister of the
Word. It was in 1882 that he took
up his labors in Washington. He
was pastor of the Nineteenth Street
Baptist Church during sixty-three
years. The number of other causes
to which he gave himself was legion
His name is woven into the record
of religious, educational and social
progress of the Nations Capital
Immortality.
But DR.. Brooks will be remem-
bered not merely for what he did.
His larger claim upon the gratitude
of his contemporaries and upon the
appreciation of future generations
derived from his own character and
personality. He was wise and Just,
tolerant and kind, eloquent in silence
as well as in speech. clear and direct

More on Maryland University

To the Editor of The STAR
In recent weeks at the University of
Maryland there was a sincere and in
dignant protest of the student body
against what its members termed "one-
man rule and autocratic-d -dictatorial
control in the university of a democratic
State. A mere catalogue of all the
events, with quotations, would astound
the fair-minded person. Specific charges
convincingly challenge the efficiency of
such system. as well as its injustices.
am sure that the public, and espe-
cially the citizens of Maryland, If they
knew, would be in complete accord with
the students and would want different
educational system, in which their chill
dren would be encouraged to learn and
to live democratically and to feel free
to express themselves intelligently.
should like to see H. M. S. and others
in Maryland develop sincere and active
interest in the university and, by care
fully examining all the facts in the light
of basic principles of justice, democracy
and education, arrive at an organization
and program for the university as
a whole which would spell new era in
its development and academic position.

ROME (By Air Courier I'm Yugo-
slavia, land of strange contrasts, the
strangest contrast of all at present is
the one between what they say they
want to do and what they seem to be
doing.
The government is very anxious to
have us believe that they are going to
establish a moderate, mildly socialistic,
democratic setup, with lots Of civil rights
and plenty of opportunity for private
enterprise. While in Belgrade I re-
ported their assurances on this score.
1t is no exaggeration to say, however,
that at the moment Tito's Is sort OF
police government" and that civil
rights as we understand them and rule
by law as we understand 1t do not exist.
This is a truth which nobody writing
from inside the country is allowed TO
indicate. Marshal Tito,s regime does
not tolerate criticism, domestic or for
eign.
Once in Belgrade filed descriptive

shade of irony in one or two of the

not so much a question of seeing other

what is behind them.
might have seen, for example, Tito
and his men In the mountains, fighting
the wars greatest and most successful
guerrilla campaign, and earning the
right-if such right has ever been
earned that way-to try to govern in
peace the country they redeemed in
war.
I might have seen that in some very
practical respects they have made a
good start: BY providing common war
heritage for the dissident components
of the nation, they have done much
to bring them together IN sensible
federative setup; by attacking problems
boldly and imaginatively, they have al
ready gone far in the physical recon-
struction of the land.
I might have seen that the war in
Yugoslavia, as in all Europe. has been
more than a war against an outside
enemy, has been and still is a genuine
revolution-and that revolutions COM
monty go through politically unpleasant
stages.
1 might have seen, too, that the po-
htical and economic chaos which now
prevail make it hard to blame the gov
ernment for not Immediately starting to
play the political game under the rules
of democracy as we know it.
Finally, I might have seen that de-
mocracy as we know it is to consid-

Letters to The Star
Says Majority of Ruthenians
Are Roman Catholics
Are Ron

To the Editor Of The Star:
In your editorial of July 2, entitled
"Ruthenia to Russia" 1t was stated that
the Ruthenians are Greek Orthodox in
religion. This statement is not accur-
ate. The fact that the great majority
of Ruthenians in the Carpatho- Ukraine
are Roman Catholics is further inter-
esting element in the transfer of this
region to Russia.
For many centuries the Ruthenians
belonged to the Russian branch of the
Greek Orthodox Church, but toward the
middle of the 17th century they sepa-
rated from that body, acknowledged
the supremacy of the Pope. abjured
Orthodox errors, ETC., and thus became
Roman Catholics. AS in the case of
other groups separating from orthodoxy
and uniting with the Roman church,
they were allowed to retain their own
local hierarchy, liturgy and customs.
For example, they use the old Slavonic
language in the mass and other sery-
ices. and most of their priests are mar
ried men. Since their return to Cathol-
icisn there has been certain ten
dency to adopt Latin customs and prac-
tices, so that in minor details there are
some differences from Orthodox prac-
tices.
On the other side of the Carpathian
Mountains there is the much larger
and closely related body of Galician
Ukrainians, whose religious history and
situation is very similar AS long as
the Ruthenians and Galicians formed
part Of such strongly Catholic countries
as Austria and Hungary, there was not
much doubt as TO their adherence to
the Catholic Church. Under the some-
what anticlerical republic of Czechoslo-
vakia movement for return to ortho-
doxy was started among the Ruthen-
ians, but did not affect the great ma
jority of them. Now they will find
themselves part of a state that is pre-
dominantly Orthodox in religion and
with government whose intentions to-
ward all religious bodies are doubtful.
1t would seem probable in any case that
strong pressure would be brought to
bear on the RuthenianS to sever their
allegiance to Rome and to unite with
the Russian Orthodox Church.
According to recent dispatches, the
Vatican has commented unfayorably on
the action of Russia and Czechoslo-
vakia in arranging for the transfer of
this territory to Russia. The criticism
ostensibly was directed at the bilateral
feature of the arrangement, but prob
ably reflects also the anxiety of the
Vatican regarding its relations with the
Ruthenians
There are considerable numbers Of
persons of Ruthenian descent in the
United States. They are concentrated
mostly in Pennsylvania and in other
Midwestern and Eastern industrial
areas. The Official Catholic Directory
for lS43 lists 1856 churches in this coun-
try, with total membership of 262,-
604. There is bishop for them, who
resides in Pittsburgh. The Galician
Ukrainians have bishop in Philadel-
phia and about an equal number of
churches and members.

Retirement Bill Next?

To the Editor of The Star:
Now that Congress has disposed of
the Government pay bill, why not take
up the retirement bill?
OF course, the high-salaried people
are well provided for, as the $4,000 man
may retire on $4,000, provided he has
the age and service. But what about
the low-salaried people who would re-
tire at $1,000? Where can a person
live on 81, 200 year? One might do it
alone, but suppose there are two or
more persons to be supported.
The low-paid employees certainly have
never been able to save any money, and
at 60 years of age or more the chances
of any employment after retirement are
very slim indeed.
So why not make the annuity 1880,
and with full annuity at SIS years of age,
instead of so as it is at present?

Improvements Suggested

To the Editor OF The Star:
The Fourth of July show at the Mon
ument Grounds was very enjoyable and
well handled, but the following sugges-
tions would add greatly to the enjoy
ment and comfort of the people:
/. Have fireworks just as soon as 1t is
dark. There were thousands of little
children who were only interested in the
fireworks; the speeches and entertain
ment, which they couldn't even see,
meant nothing to them. To begin the
fireworks at 1890 Is too late! Even the
adults there didn't get to bed before
IL, which is hardship to many who
have to get up early.
2. There were three hours of talks,
entertainment and music, besides 80
minutes of fireworks, which is much
too muchi Also, to make average peo-
pie happy and relaxed, the program
should consist mostly of patriotic and
popular music, past and present; most
people are interested in tune, not tech
nique. Fifteen minutes of music, IS
of speeches, 30 of entertainment and
30 of fireworks would be plenty, with a
minimum of tiresome explanatory talk
ing in between.
5. The stage should be high enough
so that entertainers could be seen by
all when sitting. AS 1t is, the stage can
not be seen even when people stand.

1t is penny-wise and pound foolish
to oppose the project on the ground
that it would be waste Of money,
forgetting entirely that such sta
