Promotion on Merit

While the appointment of a cor
poration counsel is the legal pre-
rogative of the Commissioners, there
have been times in the past when
the appointee was chosen by the
President and the Commissioners
were directed to act accordingly.
Thus the job itself has not always
been filled without first regard to
the political amenities. The ap-
pointment of Vernon E. West as cor
poration counsel Is all the more
gratifying to Washingtonians, there
fore, because it is so completely nom
political in character and because,
like the choice of his predecessor,
Richmond Keech, in 1910, it is based
on merit and comes in the form of
a deserved promotion of a competent
man who has made a career of local
public service. The son of a former
District Commissioner, native
Washingtonian and a real authority
on municipal law, Mr.. West was the
logical choice and the Commission
ers were swell advised in so quickly
naming him to an Office for which
his experience and his own capa-
bilities fit him so well. Mr.. Keech's
strong recommendation of his sue
cessor and the quick unanimity with
which the Commissioners accepted
it are in themselves a tribute to Mr..

every effort be made to rehabilitate
the industry. agriculture and public
utilities Of the stricken countries in
order to get those countries back on
self-supporting basis as quickly as
possible. Up to the end of last June,
UNRRA had contributed more than
100000 tons of supplies as part OF
its program and had arranged to
ship equipment for more than 1000
hospitals, but a great deal remains
to be done-notably in the Far East
before the situation passes the
critical stage.
Our part in all of this has been by
far the largest, based on the UNRRA
principle that each uninvaded mem
ber-country contribute to the or
ganization sum equivalent to per
cent of It's national income for 1943.
With congressional approval, this
has obligated us to the extent of
81 $50, 100000, Of which $3.50 0,000, 900
has yet to be appropriated-an ap-
preparation needed now because the
rest Of our share has been either
already expended or committed. The
situation calls for prompt action.

comings, 1t is still the only organ

Germony's Future
rom the London Daily Mail.

From the London Daily Mail.
It follows from the root-and- branch
elimination of Prussianism and Naziism
that Germany must be democratized,
the judiciary made clean, and the Ger
man people re-educated. These are
enormously difficult problems, but they
will be the vital test by which the
success or failure of the Potsdam Con-
ference will be judged. To destroy the
arms, dismantle the factories, control
i industry and science Is a colossal under
taking, but 1t will be comparatively easy
If the spirit Of aggression is exercised
There will be little, In fact, upon which
it can feed If these proposals are carried
out to the letter. Germany will be
without aircraft of any kind and with
out ships. Her economy is to be de-
centralized in order to destroy the trusts
and cartels. She will emerge as, pre-
dominantly agricultural nation, with
secondary industries of a peaceful, do
mestic nature. But she will still be a
powerful ktate by virtue Of the size ana
diligence Of her population.

more deeply British puritanism, do not
have greater influence on mems minds.
This is certainly true of labor and

On the Record
By Dorothy THOMPSON

hensible to a Western mind; but re-
ligion is ''the substance of things hoped
for; the evidence of things unseen" and
in all religions there are beliefs that
are impossible to explain nationally. The
japanese concept of imperial divinity
affronts the sKeptic, but so does the doc
trine of ranssubstantiation in which
millions of Westerners profoundly be-
lieve.
From purely practical standpoint it
would seem well that if the Emperor is
cooperating with us, the Japanese
should continue to believe in his divine
infallability To break down one in
fallability is no guarantee that another
will not take its place. The Divine right
of Kings has often given way to the
Divine right of a political party, or a
dictator. The breakdown of trans
cendental religion has, in our days, led
to the rise of secular religions, to the
confusion of both religion and politics.
Shinto-to our minds-is primitive
and backward. So, to some minds, are
all religions. In Japan it has always
had to contend with other Oriental re-
ligions, especially Buddhism. The word
"Shinto" is. of Chinese origin, not
japanese, and the primitive japanese
religion only was called "Shinto" after
acquaintance with the Chinese language
and the arrival of Buddhism 1t has
been inextricably interviewer with the
latter. Shinto, which started as an
animistic religion. imagined the gods as
peopling the earth with their own off,
spring-as did the Greeks-from which
comes the concept of the divine sue
cession in the flesh as well as the spirit.
1t Is racial religion, like most early
religions.
If Gen. Macarthur is to do away with
these ideas he has my heartiest SYM
pathy. Eliminating myths is not a mat
ter of decree. Centuries of Christianity
have not removed all traces of pre-
Christian Paganism in it's own rituals,
as any other reader of The Golden
Bough" by Sir James George Frazer
British anthropologist, knows. Religions
evolve through fresh interpretations
not through suppressions
But for foreigners to lay rough hands
on peoples myths is likely, in the long
run, to revive, not eliminate them.
Politics is still the art of possibilities.
OF course, the Japanese people may
themselves overthrow the perial
structure and the religion so intimate
ly associated with it. That is another
matter. But the ultimate success of such
revolution will not be aided by the
support of foreign conquerors-if ex-
perience is any guide.
