the Mediterranean through the Turkish
straits and trusteeship over the former
Italian colony of Tripolitania. The i'm
plication of this last is clear: Russian
naval and air equality, at least, with
Great Britain in the Mediterranean.
What, however, would be the effect of
Russian naval and air power in the
Mediterranean coupled with eventual
in Spain? Clearly, reduction of the
Mediterranean and all its bordering
lands to a Soviet Russian hegemony
and the exclusion of British-along with
American-influence from another great
segment of European-African-M Middle
Eastern region.
That is why the United States, while
opposed to Gen. Franco and committed
to seek his replacement, has been placed
in the position of opposing before the
United Nations positive actions to
achieve his overthrow. Neither the
United States nor Britain can afford to-
see another great segment of humanity
disappear behind the iron curtain"
which encompasses Eastern Europe. now
Not unless we are prepared to enter
the Soviet sphere ourselves.
Russian strategy with respect to Italy
has appeared to take turn to concilla-
ton of those Italians whose national
pride is hurt by Russian support of
Yugoslav claims to Trieste and Venezia
Giulia. The Russians appear to have
withdrawn from their strong backing
Of Marshal Tito's claims to the great
Southern European port and its hinter-
land.
Evidence of this effort to appease
many Italians who might support Com
munism is found in the unanimity with
which the four-poWer commission sent
to investigate the Venezia Giulia issue
is making it's report to the Big Four
foreign ministers in Paris But more
than this is the fact that the Com
munists in the French cabinet raised
no opposition when Foreign Minister
Georges Bidault requested that instruc-
tions for the French delegation embody
recognition of Italy's claims to Trieste.
Thus, Soviet Russia's diplomatic and
propaganda war goes forth in the
Mediterranean area, with the prize
the great non-Communist area of
Southern Europe and Africa-depend-
ent on Russia's ability to use Trieste as
a bargaining weapon to get Tripoli-
tania and the Turkish straits.

Partial World Government
BY George Fielding Eliot

ment to prevent war-to provide for the
common defense"
But either this idea will be accepted
by all nations, or it will be accepted
as Mr.. Justice Roberts suggests-only by
those with a common basis of political
experience, common understanding
of the relationship of the citizen to the
state.
And herein lies the danger of all the
present insistence on world government.
1t is fatally easy to say: Every well, per-
haps 1t Is not presently possible for a
world government to be established
which can deal directly with Soviet citi-
zens on basis of exact equality of
process with American citizens. But
let us make a beginning by getting to-
gether in partial world government
those nations which do have institu-
tionS and traditions which make it pos
sible for such a supergovernment to
deal directly with the citizen. Then the
Soviet Union and others will see the
great advantages of joining such gov
ernment."
This is dangerous fallacy. 1t is the
rock on which all hopes of future world
danger is understood in time For what
would be the result? What is the prac-
tical meaning Of this idea? Simply that
the nations Of common political back
ground based on the liberty of the in
dividual should come together in a great
coalition, should strengthen the bonds
between themselves, should provide in
some respects a common citizenship,
should undertake to provide for the
common defense"-against whom? If
you were Russian, how would you in
terpret any such proposal?
Nothing could be better calculated
to split the world into two hostile
camps, to provide the cause and pro-
mote the development of a third world
war. The truth is that there cannot
be world government until there is a
basis OF common understanding on
which to base such government and
by which its future functioning can be
assured.
To put the matter bluntly: You can
not have half a world government. To
advocate such thing is in effect to
advocate a closely knit alliance of the
United States, Britain and the western
democracies of Europe, plus parts of
Latin America, against the Soviet Union.
To advocate such thing is to advo-
cate the destruction OF the principle
of unity on which the United Nations
is founded. To advocate such thing
is to advocate the immediate destruc-
tion of ali hope of world peace and to
make it forever impossible to provide
for the common defense-the defense
of mankind against his own evil pas
sions and his own follies.

Differs With Definitions

To the Editor Of The Star:
In The Star for April IA, under the
caption General Young postpones
Drive for Veterans Homes" Commis-
sioner Young, as chairman of the Dis
trict Veterans Emergency Housing
Committee, is quoted as inviting every
Government and business ONCE and
organization activity in the District area
to join in the drive to open up additional
housing units in existing homes here"
And Vice Chairman Brylawski is quoted
as saying: mo idle room can be justified
here; "the time has come for drastic
action; and "it is civic obligation
for any one with available accomoda-
tions to report them to the housing
center"
But, contrary to Mr.. Brylawski's
opinion. many idle rooms here can be
justified. Many people have idle rooms,
and many such rooms are idle because
OF the unreasonable and unlawful
regulations imposed by the Commis-
sioners. Acts of Congress define a
"rooming house" and lodging house"
as establishments accommodating 10 or
more guests. That is the law. But the
Commissioners, in defiance of the law.
have adopted regulations defining such
establishments as those having accom-
modations for five or more guests, and
requiring persons with Ave and less
than 10 guests to obtain licenses or be
prosecuted and fined. Many persons.
who accommodate less than 10 guests,
and hence under the law are not required
to have licenses, have been arrested
Many persons, having accommodations
for more, will not accommodate over four
guests, because If they do, they will be
subject to license or prosecution. In the
police stations one will see long lists
of addresses at which home owners are
suspected of having more than four
guests.
Commissioner Young might serve his
campaign to open homes to tenants by
having the regulation defining rooming
houses and lodging houses as those ac-
commodating five or more guests, made
to conform to the law, which defines
these establishments as those having
. 10 or more guests. And amends should
be made to those persons who have been
unlawfully prosecuted and fined.

Return to RELIGION

From the Putnam County IN. " Republican.
On a Nationwide hookup there has
been a debate whether the American
people are losing their religion or not
The very fact that the whole Nation has
shown keener interest than would have
been true decade ago seems to indicate
the serious-mindedness of the American
people today. What religion means to
each of us may vary: an Interpretation
OF this world, the supreme truth of the
Bible, an inside feeling" of sympathy
with the world about us and with our

Letters to The Star
The Single Tax Approach Again
Set Forth On War

Set Forth On War
To the Editor Of The Star
Gen. MacArthurs pronouncement for
disarmament by all nations is in re-
freshing contrast to the rattling of
sabers on Army Day, the demand for
conscription and military training. 1t
has been supposed that the extremely
important and expensive program for
international peace which was formu-
lated in San Francisco and which now
is in ponderous operation would be
taken seriously by our military men as
we'll as by others with the result of a
program for gradual disarmament.
With Russia as the only possible
enemy and with no good reason for that,
there would seem to be every reason why
the United States of America should do
everything possible to promote interna-
tional peace
Meanwhile, the two greatest factors
for international warfare remain unmo-
Tested. The first of these is Imperialism,
marked by the presence Of American
troops in so many foreign countries and
American ownership of island possess
sions far from the shores OF North
America. @e@
That influence for international war
Of next Importance is the tariff wall
around the United States which was
established upon the invidious theory
that all foreign nations are our economic
enemies and constantly must be treated
as such. Free trade, believe, would
liberate the great benefits of commerce
to all concerned and produce the amity
and good will between nations which is
the rule between neighbors at home.
A major, though indirect, cause of
warfare is the grossly unjust system of
taxation with consequent land monopoly
In all countries. 1t is time for statesmen
in Washington to adopt the right
measures for the securing Of interna-
tional peace and good will.

Curneqie Report

Andrew Carnegie has been dead
twenty-seven years, yet his name
probably is as constructively known
today as it was during any part of
his lifetime. The explanation of
this paradox is that the philan-
thropies established by the erstwhile
bobbin-boy and telegraph clerk from
Dunfermline are working forces Elm
the world from which he departed
in 1919. 1t was been said with obvi-
Gus justice that they constitute "in
some respects the most remarkable
group of charitable foundations" in
existence. Their sponsors ideal for
them was that they should contrib
ute to the solution of complex
human problems.
The 1945 report of the Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace:
Division of Intercourse and Educa-
ton, recently published, was written
against a background of achieve
ment which the general public
hitherto may not have appreciated
fully. DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler,
as director, opens his exposition with
the statement: "The year has
been one of unprecedented activity"
Much of the effort developed from
the termination of the Second World
War; much of it was independent
of the end of that struggle. The
most important procedures naturally
were those which were undertaken
in behalf of larger popular COM
prehension of the international
conferences held at Breton Woods,
Dumbarton Oaks, Mexico City, Pots
dom, Quebec, San Francisco and
Yalta. Human destiny perhaps for
centuries to come was being dealt
with in those gatherings, and it was
the divisions purpose to make
that fact and significant correlative
truths evident to as numerous a
company of students, lay as we'll
as professional, as might be feasible.
Meetings were arranged through
regional and local centers through
out the United States. Forum dis
cussion programs were devised and
staged. The facilities of radio were
enlisted to carry into thousands of
homes, schools and churches series

Eisenhower on Security,

eral ElSennOWer'S prime business is
to worry about national security.
This he defines. with great clarity
and force. as "a state of organized
readiness to meet external agrees
sion by quick and effective mobili-
cation of public opinion, trained
men, proved weapons and essential
industries, integrated Into the most
efficient instrument of armed de-
fense and reinforced by the support
of every citizen in the measure and
form necessary for the preservation
of our way of life"
But General Eisenhower is not one
who looks forward to a dreary and
fear-ridden future in which every
power of consequence must exist as
an armed camp. On the contrary,
as he made clear the other night to
members of the American News
paper Publishers Association, his
views on our security in no way con-
f1ict with the efforts of the United
Nations to establish a universal and
enduring peace. Progress toward
such a peace, he holds, must be
made along three paths, all of which
must be travelled simultaneously
organized international co-opera-
ton, mutual international under
standing and progressive interna-
tional disarmament. The travelling,
however, cannot be completed over
night, and until it is completed, until
the U. N. can guarantee our safety
and the safety of other countries,
we ourselves must be our own watch
dogs, adequately equipped at all
times to meet any threat to our in
terests.
Since numerous deep-rooted and
historic prejudices and antagonisms
exist among nations, since there are
almost as many different social, eco
nomic and political PHILOSOPHERS as
there are different peoples, the task
of achieving what General Eisen-
hover envisions is, of course, not
something that can be accomplished
swiftly and all at once. To suppose
so, in his words, is merely to make
the mistake of wishfully converting
hope into accomplished fact, for the
whole program will require years of
effort, unflagging determination and
vast amount of good humor, pa
tience and tolerance" Yet, as the
habit of cooperation is acquired, as
mutual understanding grows, as dis
armament - undertaken simultane-
eusly by all nations-progresses, the
worlds march along his three paths
will become increasingly marked.
Indeed, an advance on any one of
the three will tend to promote a
more rapid movement along the two
Others" their interaction thus has
tening full attainment of the ulti-
mate goal"-a just and lasting peace
Meanwhile, in keeping with Gen
eral Eisenhower's counsel, the Ma
stion must be firm without being
offensive" in its foreign policy, must
maintain sufficient force to carry
out it's commitments and "prescribed
missions in enforcing the peace"
and must never again-as it has
after past wars-be neglectful of its
own security. In time, if civilization
is not to be blown to bits, the world
must be so disarmed and organized
as to make another major conflict
impossible, but until then We must
be on guard. This is an obvious i'm
perative in the new age of fantastic
reality.

ITO provide for the common de-
fense' is one of the objectives of the
people as stated in the Constitution of
the United States. This may be mar
roWly interpreted as meaning defense
against foreign foes, but it has to be
read in context: ITO form more per-
feet union, establish justice, insure do
mestic tranquility, provide for the COM
mon defense" now it becomes clear
that the purpose is not only to defend
the territories and rights of the United
States against foreign attack, but also
to uphold the processes of justice and
the internal peace of the Nation against
domestic disturbance: Insurrection or
armed defiance by individuals or groups
of individuals.
These IDEAS underlie the fundamental
law of almost all federal governments,
that is, collective governments to which
a group OF existing sovereignties have
delegated certain defined and limited
powers. In virtually every case-Aus-
tralia, Canada, Brazil, the late German
Empire. the Swiss Republic are examples
which come to mind-the federal gov
ernment is charged with the common
defense, and with the conduct of foreign
relations as being inseparable from the
duty of defense. In every such case,
the federal governments powers re-
garding defense extend to the mainte-
nance of the internal as well as the
external peace of the nation. In every
such case, the federal government Is en-
powered to deal directly with the indi-
vidual citizen in the matters thus COM
ing within its jurisdiction, because there
is no other way in which it can carry
on its duties
x \
These two great inter related fields of
responsibility-th conduct of foreign
relations and the maintenance Of tho
common security-are inseparable from
the idea Of federal governments as the
world has hitherto known them. So
considered, however, it becomes less easy
to define the duties of the world federal
government, as proposed by Mr.. Justice
Roberts and other protagonists of the
idea of world government now, or
else"
Obviously, granted worldwide ac-
ceptance, there can be no foreign rela-
tions for such government to conduct,
barring the extension of our knowledge
into interplanetary realms. It's politi-
cal affairs will be in the field of its re-
lations with its member states. Its
policies will be domestic, not foreign
Nor can its security problem be other
than the problem of maintaining do
mestic tranquility.
1t is worth while to think through just
hat this means. Nothing is easier than
say: eve must have a world goverrfI

The House already has passed an

get them.
Were price controls removed, he, the
grocer, would make more money but in
turn would spend more to buy other
things. He would be worse off. The
same applies to men in other businesses.
Conditions are not as good as before
the war or even during the war. The
basic foods now are scarce as they were
not during the war.
Now is no time to dispose of OPA.
Limiting price control is like cutting
