Challenges View of 'Trusteeshir

Challenges View of 'Trusteeship'
To the Editor Of The Star:
One does not question the honesty OF
purpose nor the integrity of DR.. Phillip
Marshall Brown when he writes about
trusteeship for subject peoples and pos
sessions.
But one wonders whether he read
correctly or was deliberately misled by
World Affairs for June, 1914, when he
states: This principle has been ac-
cepted explicitly by all of the larger
colonial powers, namely, Great Britain,
France. The Netherlands, Belgium, Por-
tugai and the United States"
We have not seen any announcement
that Great Britain, France and The
Netherlands have agreed to place the
Bahamas, the Greater and Lesser An
titles, Trinidad, Aruba, British, French
and Dutch Guiana, British Honduras,
Hongkong, Indo- China, Sumatra, Java,
Borneo. New Caledonia, Macau, Hainan,
or even Goa, Pondicherry and other
small places around India in the hands
OF world trustees, and we doubt very
much If such information is going to
come to us.
1t would be much better for the
United States If the people at this par
ticular period listened with greater
care to the statements of men like
Gen. Marshall, Admirals King and
Ninitz, and those intelligent profess
sionals whose sole interest Is the safety
OF the country, rather than to the
visionaries who want to play Santa
Claus to a disbelieving world. -

Judicial Advice

The Supreme Court this week re-
fused to review a District Court of
Appeals decision sustaining a con-
tract which bars the sale of prop
erty in white neighborhood to
colored persons. Since the effect of
this action is to confirm the appel
late ruling in its application to this
city, some of the language used by
the Court of Appeals is worthy of
thoughtful consideration.
Chief Justice Groner wrote the
majority opinion. After disposing OF
the purely legal questions involved
he turned to the social aspects of
the problem arising. in part, from
housing restrictions based on racial
considerations. The Chief Justice
concluded his remarks in the follow
ing words:
That the broad social problem, of
which the question In the instant
case is but one aspect, is both serious
and acute, no thoughtful person will
deny. That its right solution in the
general public interest calls for the
best in craftsmanship and the highest
in patriotism is equally true. But 1t is
just as true that up to the present
no law or public policy has been con-
trived or declared whereby to erad-
icate social or racial distinctions in
the private affairs of individuals,
And it should now be apparent that
II ever the two races are to meet on
mutually satisfactory grounds, it
cannot be through legal coercion or
through the intimidation of factions,
or the violence of partisans, but
must be the result of a mutual ap-
probation of each others problems,
and voluntary consent of individ-
uals. And it is to this end that the
wisest and best of each race should
set their course.
This expression is not statement
of law. but IS rather in the nature
Of judicial advice. It has a signifi-
cant application to some of the most
troublesome problems of the day,
however, and it merits the careful
attention Of those persons who are
striving in good faith and with good
will to find a solution which will
be equitable to both races and there
fore enduring in character.

There are those who are nationals

Letters to The Star
Contends for Real Municipal
Government of District

To the Editor Of The Star:
In The Star of May II there are two
articles and an editorial which, when
taken together, point to a conclusion
that should be obvious to all intelligent
readers of your paper.
The news articles are % Representa-
tive Stefan's protest against the mon
sensical" congressional prohibition on
the use of the Districts 100000 high
way testing laboratory and CD Repre-
sentative Coffee's comments relative to
. hearings before his subcommittee on
the District of Columbia budget. Your
editorial refers to the disgraceful con-
ditions at the Children's Receiving
Home and the competency of the ad-
ministrative officials of the District of
Columbia in that connection.
Representative Coffee is quoted as
saying that he is tired of hearing COM
plants directed 'at Congress for failing
to provide funds for needed. services"
and that 'it is not the duty or the
responsibility of Congress to perform
administrative acts" the same being
vested in the administrative officers of
the District government" who should
''get together on concise, definite pro-
grams" before asking Congress for ap-
propriations from the money raised by
taxation of the voteless residents of the
District Of Columbia.
Congress prefers to exercise its SOW
ereign right to control directly all taxa
ton and appropriations for the District
of Columbia instead of delegating those
powers to the District government. Yet
Mr. Coffee and other members of Con-
gress admit that they have neither the
time nor the facilities to ascertain the
facts relative to conditions in the Dis
trict, without which facts they are in
no position to act intelligently on ap-
preparations. Mr.. Coffee's only solu-
ton of the problem is to Pass the re-
sponsibility to the administrative Of
ficers of the District government" who
are neither chosen by nor responsible
to the taxpayers.
The obvious conclusion is that Con-
gress should charter real municipal
government here with powers similar
to those held by municipal governments
elsewhere, retaining for itself only the
supervisory power that all State Legis-
latures have over the governments Of
municipalities that they charter. To be
in consonance with the American sys-
tenn the officials Of such a government
should be chosen by and responsible to
the people, including the taxpayers
whose money they would appropriate
for the activities Of the municipal gov
ernment.

Tribute to the Gray Ladies
To the Editor Of The Star:
One Of the pleasant things about
life today is the untiring. unself1sh,
gratuitous ministrations of the attrac-
lively costumed Gray Ladies.
While I was hospitalized recently for
10 days. their visits were my daily Joy.
The doctors and nurses are almost
too busy to smile these days, but the
Gray Ladies come smiling with the
query, What can do for you today?"
They carry out Emerson's maxim,
There's always time enough for
courtesy"
I had the pleasure Of debating letters
and phone calls to those ladies, which
always met with quick response from the
recipients who otherwise could not have
been reached. Also, things hard to buy
were quickly purchased by them as by
magic, and interesting bits OF pleasant
news communicated from the outside
world. My first information of We day
came from the lips Of charming Gray
Lady.
When they were asked their names,
their reply invariably was: 1--WE wish
to be unknown except as Gray Ladies
from the Red Cross" My mind recalled
Clara Barton, Florence Nightingale and
my own Maine Dorothy Dix, always
ready to serve for neither name nor
gain.
AS I think of all these Angels of
Mercy" feel like saying:
In just that very place of His
Where He hath put and keepeth you,
God hath no other thing to do"
I am grateful to the Gray Ladies who
came on my life's horizon and helped
me. Because OF them make this aspira-
ton more earnestly my prayer.
Life come to me today.
This I intreat;
Flow into my hands,
Inform my tagging feet;
Shine in my eyes
And smile upon my lips;
Oh, lift my spirits flame
From dull eclipse

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

. SAN FRANCISCO, May 3l-Moscows
announcement of the biggest peacetime
military training schedule ever ordered
in the Soviet Union, with thousands
of Is and 16 year old boys called up
for Red Army training, lays an empha-
sis on national defense, an emphasis
which should not be lost sight of in
the United States. Not because this
country need expect or fear war with
the Soviet Union-there is every reason
to believe that the two nations can and
will live at peace-but because of the
wisdom Of universal military training
Twice within q quarter century the
United States was caught without ade-
quate military forces when attacked. It
can happen again. This country, along
with Russia and the other United Ma
tions, is at work in San Francisco on
q charter for q world organization to
maintain peace. 1t is great adven-
ture. Nevertheless, the United States
must take adequate measures to insure
its own safety-certainly until it has
been proved the world intends to live
in peace.
For months there have been pending
in Congress proposals to establish
universal peacetime military training
system. Similar proposals were made
after the close of the first World War,
but were kicked aside. If they had not
been thrown into the discard the whole
course of history might have been diff
ferent, and this country might not have
been compelled to fight the greatest
war Of all time-war which is not yet
ended.
In order to avoid giving an impress
sion that the United States was talking
Of world peace in San Francisco while
in Washington Congress was preparing
to set up universal military training,

posals aside. Let's do nothing to rock
