Fhe Eternal Question
Bv David Laurence

FROM the London Daily Nail
Coal Is the basis of all our industrial
and commercial life. The overhead
charges OF every factory and workshop

business undertaking will be increased
by this substantial rise in the price of
coal. 1t is ironical that the one raw
material We possess In abundance should
cost so much and be so scarce. Is there
no way of reducing the costs of produce
ton while leaving the miner adequate
remuneration? The answer to that Is
to be found in the Reid report, which
because 1t was by experts, is the best
report on the mining industry vet made
1t shows British collieries, always With
certain exceptions, to be old-fashioned
under-mechanized, and financially en-
barrassed. The result is dear coal and a
railing output Before the last war the
output per man-shift in this country
was the highest in the world, with the
exception of America Between the
wars our output went up by IA per cent.
In Poland it rose by 81 per cent: in the
Ruhr by 81 per cent; in Holland BY 1lS
per cent. The coal in the Ruhr and
Holland Is deeper placed, harder to get,
than In Britain. Yet these countries

we were once supreme. Why2 Because

Letters to The Star
Pleads for St. Johns COLLEGE
As "Herita8e of Beauty"

70 the Editor Of The Star:
II the Navy takes st. Johns College
there will be loss In beauty and tradi-
ton not only to the State Of Maryland,
but to the country as well. The coun-
try's loss in beauty-one of the few
buildings in the United States designed
by Sir Christopher Wren. Its loss in
tradition-the abandoning Of the edu-
cational institution which produced
Francis Scott Key, the author Of 1.-THE
Star Spangled Banner" The same Navy
that is willing to be the instrument OF
this destruction stands at attention
when this anthem is played.
What would be the reaction of the
country If the military proposed to take
over Mount Vernon? Is not st. Johns
College equally important from a his
torical and traditional viewpoint?
The Navy, to be sure, promises to do
"all that is possible" to keep the Co.
lonial beauty of st. Johns But who
is to decide what is possible? The
Navy did not find it possible" to keep
Fort Severn. All that remains of that
historic fortress is a neat bronze tablet.
Until the future policies of the Army
and Navy are made clear to the public.
would 1t not be more just, not only to
us living, but to future generations to
whom this heritage of beauty and ira
dition belong. If this irrevocable step
were not taken under pressure of war

This Changing World
By Constantine BrOwn

Under existing arrangements, the Inn
migration of Jews into Palestine will
be ended as soon as the quota has been
filled and the last 5000 immigrants
have entered the country within the
next few weeks.
Important demonstrations are being
planned in this country by the advo-
Gates Of q Jewish home in Palestine.
They are directed toward making Pal
estine home for the Jews rather than
attempting to induce the British gov
eminent to liberalize It's immigration
policies In that area.
Much pressure Is expected to be exer-
cised on the American Government and
Jewish leaders here hope that at the
forthcoming conference Of the Big
Three near Berlin, President Truman
might exercise his influence on Prime
Minister Churchill to that end.
The American Governments position
is not easy. The administration is on
record as desiring to aid in creating a
Jewish home in Palestine. Considera-
tions Of political expediency, however,
have In the past prevented Congress
from officially going on record in this
matter.
Last summer President Roosevelt
wrote Senator Wagner a letter, which
the Senator showed to the Jewish lead
ers in New York, to the effect that Mr..
Roosevelt favored Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee approval of a reso-
luton indorsing the movement.
After the November elections Sen
ator Wagner again attempted to bring
the question before his colleagues on
the committee. He was supported in
his action by the vast majority of
members. But Secretary of State Stet-
ttnius, informed that the committee
was ready to adopt a favorable reso-
luton, appeared before it's members
and urged them to let the matter rest.
He said that the United States Gov
eminent had committed itself to Brit
ain not to bring up any such issues
so as not to Great new difficulties in
the Near and Middle East. The Wagner
resolution was then tabled by agree
ment
Some of the Jewish leaders in this
country accepted the State Depart
ments verdict reluctantly because the
war had not yet been won and they
realized that additional troubles might
interfere with the military operations
against Germany.
But now that war is ended. they are
said to be prepared to bring the whole

Tribute to Stettinius

The American delegation to the
San Francisco Conference-Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike-have
joined in paying handsome tribute
to the leadership of Secretary of
State Stettinius.
Expressing their gratitude for
what the Secretary OF State has
done at San Francisco for "our
country and for mankind" the other
delegates declared: 1--WE have been
very proud of your courage, your
determination to achieve a new
world order, your unfailing per-
sistence through moments of dark
perplexity, your poise and good
temper, your tactful reconciliation
of those who have differed and
doubted"
Now that the conference has come
to a successful end, there will be
few to deny that this praise is fully
deserved. Mr.. Stettinius and, in
deed, the entire American delegation
merit the fullest commentator for
the splendid manner in which they
have handled difficult and delicate
assignment. This is especially true,
however, with respect to Mr.. Stet-
tinius. He has been handicapped in
his role as chairman of the Amer
lean delegation by repeated rumors
to the effect that he was living on
borrowed time as Secretary of State.
And he has been the target of UNI
precedently violent criticism from
those who opposed the admission of
Argentina to the conference.
These things added to the already
considerable difficulties with which
Mr.. Stettinius had to deal. But
despite the attempts, intentional or
otherwise, to undermine his position,
and despite the critics, the primary
goal has been attained. The nations
are in agreement on a charter, the
conference is ending in an atmos-
phere of good will, and the American
delegation makes a point of ex-
pressing its confidence in Mr.. Stet-
tinius and its high regard for his
work. For him, that will be vindica-
ton enough.

Life on Other Worlds

DR.. Henry Norris Russell of
Princeton has revived the discus
sion of the possibility of life on
planets Gin some distant parts of
the vast universe outside the solar
system" Within the past three
years, he told a radio audience on
Sunday, Photographic observations
have shown the existence of Gin
visible companion" revolving around
several of the nearest stars" Such
dark bodies" may move in the
cosmos in very great numbers" If
so, the chance of organic phe-
nomena" prevailing on at least a
few of them cannot be ruled out
arbitrarily.
AS regarded by DR.. Russell, it is
logical to believe that the necessary
combination of imperative factors
might occur on other portions of the
armament than our own. Water,
seemingly, is the principal require
rnent. In other words, world must
have atmosphere, if plants or ami
mails are to prosper on it. There
also must be tolerable mean of
Eeat and cold. Mercury is too warm;
the moon not warm enough But
liars or Venus perhaps might offer
2 congenial climate. Concerning the
former, Camille Flammarion, the
celebrated French astronomical
writer, insisted as long ago as 1879:
We should see it as living world,
adorned with landscapes similar to
those which charm us in terrestrial
nature; a new world which no CO.
lumbus will ever reach, but on which,
doubtless, human race now resides,
works, thinks and meditates as we
do .. These unknown brothers
are not spirits without bodies or
bodies without spirits, beings super
natural or extra-natural, but active
beings, thinking, reasoning as we
do here. They live in society, are
grouped in families associated in
nations, have raised cities and con-
quered the arts.
DR.. Russell, so far as the available
record of his address suggests. does

not 60 as far as his Gallo fore
runner. But If he did, no critic could
prove him wrong. The whole ire
mendous question is unanswered.
Possibly it never will be resolved to
everybody's satisfaction. Meanwhile,
however, the fact that many persons
share the idea of life abundant
throughout creation conceivably may
be an argument for such reality.
In Christian philosophy, anyway,
mankind reflects divinity in its
aspirations. The God that made all
things and quickened some of them
with vitality likewise gave to men
the power to desire illimitable fell
lowship as well as eternal immor-
tality.

Park Police Costs

There must have been few, in
deed, who thought that when Rep
reSentative Hebert of Louisiana in
troduced his bill to abolish the
United States Park Police there was
the slightest prospect that he would
get anywhere with it.
But the further he went into the
matter the more deeply convinced
he became that there was a condi-
ton here which needed remedy, and
being persuasive advocate he won
others to his point of view The
bill passed by the House yesterday
was not the original bill he had
introduced. The hearings on his
original measure led to revisions
which made it more logical and
effective in correcting a situation
which is rather typical of other
inequalities in fiscal relationships
between the District and the Ma
tional Government and is therefore
important.
The bill as passed assigns respon-
sibility, in felonies committed on
park property, to the Metropolitan
Police. That is in line with the theory
that the primary purpose of the
United States Park Police is to pro-
tect and oversee maintenance of the
parks. But, more important still, the
hn of
police to the Interior Department,
which is in exclusive control of the
parks and park police.
Under the anomalous situation
which has developed in Washington,
while the exclusive control of the
park police has rested with the
National Parks Office of the In
terror Department, the cost of main
tanning that part of the force which
operates in the District has been
passed on almost entirely to the
local taxpayer, who this year would
be paying over 80 per cent.
Mr.. Hebert's bill corrects that
inequity. But its correction accen-
tuates others, which still remain.
The cost of acquiring national park
lands in the District and maintain
ing them gradually has been placed
almost entirely with the local tax
payer, although control is vested
exclusively in the National Park
Service. Over 80 per cent of the cost
of the National Zoo, controlled by
the Smithsonian Institution, is made
a charge against the local taxpayer.
The cost of free water to the ma
tional Government is charged
against the local taxpayer. The
entire cost of street maintenance is
borne by the local taxpayer. The
cost of educating those Maryland
and Virginia children who attend
the local schools is charged to the
local taxpayer. 1t is only natural
that purely local services, with these
and other fixed charges to be met,
often suffer in comparison with
services rendered the National Gov
eminent by the voteless, taxpaying
Washingtonian.
Mr.. Hebert is to be congratulated
on a successful fight in the House
to remove one of these inequities,
of which an increasing number of
his fair-minded colleagues are be-
coming conscious.
