Plans Are Announced
For World Cultural,
Educational Group
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

Plans for a permanent interna-
tional body to foster a worldwide
exchange of cultural and educa-
tional ideas in cooperation with
the newly formed United Nations
organization were announced today
by the State Department. A final
blueprint for the association will be
drawn up at conference in Lon
don beginning November /.
The London conference, at which
moer than 20 nations will be rep
resented. will consider proposals
drawn up by the Conference Of Al
lied Ministers of Education, which
have been meeting periodically
there during the war. These pro-
posals, in turn, were based on an
informal series of suggestions drawn
up by the State Department in CO.
operation with American educators
artists and scientists and submit
ted for study to Great Britain
China, France and Russia in addi-
ton to the ministers in London.
World Amity Is Goal.
In making public the draft pro-
posals today. the State Department
expressed the hope that there would
be widespread discussion OF the
aims of this organization"
The fundamental purpose of the
new organization is to work for in
ternational amity through a more
widely diffused knowledge in each
country Of the culture and educa-
tional methods of others. It's long
term objective is to reduce the pros
pect that the military provisions of
the United Nations Charter will
have to be put into effect.
Under the present tentative draft,
the conference Of the Educational
and Cultural Organization, which
would be affiliated with the Social
and Economic Council of the United
Nations, would be composed of five
delegates from each State. Mem
bers of the United Nations would
be eligible automatically. Other
countries would be admitted by a
two-thirds vote of the conference
acting on the recommendation OF
the Executive Board.
Limited to One Vote.
The conference of the organiza-
tion, roughly comparable to the
General Assembly of the United
Nations, would consist Of a delega-
ton of not more than five members
from each state. Every nation, re-
gardless of size, would be limited to
one vote. An executive board, chosen
by the conference. would consist OF

No more striking evidence of the
change in public opinion in the United
States toward the once-sacred prin-
ciple of high tariffs could have been
asked than the action of the Senate In
agreeing to give the President the
extraordinary authority to reduce them
by as much as so per cent on a recip-
rocal basis with other countries Com
mentators had hoped that the Senate
might follow the lead of the House in
this direction. But even the most opti-
mistic could scarcely have expected SO
complete a reversal of the traditional
Republican tariff policy as that shown
by the agreement of nine Republican
Senators and 47-33 vote for a meas
ure which, few years ago, would
have been regarded by many Demo-
Gratis and all Republicans as at least a
complete surrender of the legislative to
the executive branch of Government.
Even President Roosevelt in his hey
day was never accorded such control
of an implement which so fundamentally
affects the country's trade, although he
repeatedly urged that power to modify
the tariff was of FAC utmost Importance
to a President engaged in international
negotiations for the establishment and
maintenance OF peace.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

per cent normal tax is one of the
recommendations made by the CIO.
Secretary Vinson, In his statement to
the Ways and Means Committee, urged
that full consideration be given to re-
lieving the direct pressure of wartime
taxes on lower income groups. He
argued that whatever relief can be
given in reducing personal income
taxes will be most beneficial, in sustain
ing mass purchasing power, when given
to the individuals and families to whom
a dollar means most" At the same
time, he advanced the idea that the
amounts of tax taken from these fami-
lies with low incomes are relatively
small from the viewpoint of the Gov
eminent"
There is certain inconsistence in
these statements 1t is clear, however,
that If the administration has its way,
lot of these low-income families will
be relieved of Federal income taxes
without delay-and before the elections
of 1916.
There is another idea in other quar-
ters-that each individual no matter
how low his income-unless it be less
eAiuAA VooS q SSoA-o2iOdlo pay oOlllC
come tax, even though a very small
one. 1t is contended that such a system
makes the people tax-conscious and
therefore more careful of public ex-
penditures.
Supporters of this idea are demanding
that, instead of the outright repeal of
the normal tax there shall be a per-
centage reduction of all income taxes
either 10. Is or 20 per cent-on all in
dividuals. There is very considerable
support for such tax reduction plan
in both the Ways and Means Commit
tee and in the House itself. The pro-
ponents of the two plans will fight it
out.
The feeling exists at the Capitol that
eventually the cut in the personal or
individual income taxes in the bill now
being drafted will be increased over the
recommendations of the administration,
with more relief to those of moderate
incomes. The Administrations proposal,
it is pointed out, gives greater measure
of tax relief in dollars and cents to
business than it does to individuals.
For, by taking off the excess profits
taxes entirely business gets tax cut
of two and a half billions, while the
individual tax reduction takes off a
little more than two billions.

There is a great deal Of uncertainty
In official quarters here as to whether
the United States will continue to ex-
ercise the deciding voice in the destinies
of Japan or whether an Inter Allied
Commission Is to become Gen. Mac
Arthur's boss.
The confusion originates from the fact
that President Truman said at his press
conference on September Is that such
an Inter-Allied Council was neither nee
essary nor desirable.
Five days later, Secretary Of State
Byrnes was reported from London to
favor such a creation, demanded by
Foreign Commissar Molotoy earlier and
supported half-heartedly by Britain's
Foreign Secretary Bevin.
The wires seem to have been crossed
somewhere between Washington and
London.
Mr.. Truman explained clearly that
Gen. MacArthurs appointment as SUI
preme commander in the Pacific-with
very great powers-was discussed and
agreed on at the Potsdam Conference.
Premier Stain and Prime Minister Att
lee concurred in the view of President
Truman and fully Endorsed his decision
to name the American general to the
post. Mr.. Byrnes, Mr.. Bevin and Mr..
Molotov were present when the decision
was made.
President Truman further informed
his press conference that the organiza-
ton of an Inter-Allied Council was not
necessary. At Potsdam 1t had been
agreed that America should be the
dominating power in Japan. The
other Allies had various means of pre-
senting their observations and desires
to the American supreme commander.
Thus, it appeared last Tuesday that
any attempt to create a situation in
Japan comparable to that in Germany
or Italy had been snuffed out by the
President himself and nothing more
would be heard on the subject.
Although Secretary Byrnes has more
of free hand than his predecessors, it
is within the province of the White
House to formulate major policies which
are then implemented by the Secretary
of State and his associates.
That President Truman had de-
finite political plan for the Pacific was
evident from the manner in which he
replied to the question concerning the
reported Inter-Allied Council. Had he
been uncertain about what should be
done or had he wished to leave addi-
tional bargaining powers to Mr.. Byrnes
in London, he would have answered
either that there was no comment or
that he had no official information on
the subject. This is the old cliche by
which a responsible official can dodge
an untimely question.
Thus, Mr.. Byrnes announcement OF
last Saturday of an Allied commits

Sergeant Witchey

On Friday, November II, 1921, The
Star told in detail the story of the
entombment of the Unknown Soldier
at Arlington Cemetery. 1t described
the lying-in-state at the Capitol and
the solemn procession down Penn
sylvania avenue, past the White
House and over the Potomac to the
south side; next the ceremony of
commemoration with President
Harding as the eulogist and General
Pershing representing all the COM
rades of the subject of that eulogy.
Further, it reported how Marshal
Foch brought to the grave the Legion
of France, Admiral Beatty the Vic
toria Cross of Great Britain, General
Diaz the homage of Italy and
General Jacques that of Belgium.
Many columns of space were re-
quired for the chronicling of the
rites. Near the end, The Star ex-
planned how Chief Plenty Coups paid
"the tribute supreme" for the Crows,
when he laid at the casket his war
bonnet and coup stick. All that then
remained of the sacred program was
the most notably impressive moment
of the entire occasion.
A triple salvo of guns announced that
the greatest homage a devoted nation
could pay to its fallen heroes had been
rendered AS the echoes of the blast
carried out toward the Nations Capital,
the thin, pure call of bugle sounded
taps. the soldiers requiem and good
night.
Those persons who were present at
the ceremony and still survive after
nearly twenty-four years will re-
member how the throbbing music
moved through the Virginia hills
and over the quiet river like living,
singing spirit.

given in the entombment account
But many knew that he was Sergeant

from France to Fort Myer. An

later sounded taps for President
Wilson, Chief Justice Taft and many
