This Changing World
By Constantine BroUu

Southern Hemisphere. In two feminist
schools the instruction is given in Por-
tuguese, for use in Brazil but in the
others the language is Spanish
The graduates are sent into the field
to learn the practical side of their jobs
under the guidance Of experienced agi-
tators. Their centers are located in
every Latin American country, and on
the surface they act independently, but
always report to the main center in
Havana
In Cuba the Popular Socialist party
Is engaged in a strong electoral cam
paign. In few months Cuba will elect
new Senate, House Of Representatives,
governors and "alcaldes" (mayors). ;.
The mayor OF Havana is considered as
second only to the President in poll
tical importance.

Although the Cuban Communists
showed themselves weak at the polls in
1944-they obtained 10000 votes out
of an electorate OF 10000 0,000-they are
making a strong bid for the forthcom-
ing election. In Havana alone they have
been provided with SO trucks with
loudspeakers. Ample funds are placed
at the disposal Of the party leaders for
the campaign.
Observers in Havana believe that the
Comintern-Which has been disbanded
in name. but not in facts endeavor-
Ing to place Communist government
In that country By legal means, that
is to say through bona fide elections
rather than through a coup detat or
through forceful imposition, as has
been the case in the satellite states in
Eastern Europe and the Balkans.
The relative discomfort of the work.
Ing classes in Cuba is being exploited
by the Communists, who expect to
make important electoral gains with
their assistance. Meanwhile the middle
classes are lackadaisical and disorgan-
lied in comparison with the efficient
Communist action, directed by able and
fanatical agents who are provided with
plenty OF money and glibly promise the
Cuban workers paradise on earth.
The Communist newspaper Hoy is
very active and provides its readers
with complete service from Moscow
Articles and editorials appearing in
Pravda and Izvestia are published the
same day In Hoy, just as in the Rus
sian provincial papers.
The other political parties, which Iull
themselves in the belief that ut can
not happen here" are making only mild
efforts to counteract this Communist
propaganda

form part of a process of devolution
whereby, yielding to the pressure of
Arab nationalism, Britain forgoes
formal control In exchange for
treaty Stipulations safeguarding
Britain's special interests in those
countries and provisions for mutual
assistance against common oppo-
nentS.
This revolutionary process, in
turn, ties in with the trend toward
mutual understandings between the
Arab states and Turkey under the
growing pressure eXerted by the
Soviet Union. The remuneration of
Britain's mandate over Trans
Jordan will undoubtedly be displeas-
ing to Moscow. But it is a logical
consequence of Moscow's aggressive
policy throughout the Middle East.

The Cuban government is reported to
have asked the United States to with
draw its forces by May from the vari-
Gus bases which they occupied during
the war
On the surface the Cuban govern
ment's request is neither unfriendly nor
illogical. Cuba co-operated with us dur
ing the war, and now that the shooting
is over the Havana government sees no
valid reason why American troops should
continue to be stationed in the country,
with exception, of course, Of Guanta-
namo, where we have had a naval base
for many years in accordance with
treaty.
But while the action of the Cuban
government Is reasonable. there is in
creasing concern in Washington over
the agitation and activities of the Mos
coW-dominated Communists in that
country.
After the accidental death of Russian
Ambassador Constantin Oumansky in
Mexico City the center of Communist
propaganda for Latin America was
transferred from Mexico to Cuba.
The Soviet Embassy in Havana, with
a staff of some 81 officials, is reliably
reported to be engaged in widespread
activities directing Communist agitation
in all South American republics.
The Cuban Communist party, which
until two years ago went by the name
OF Partido Revolucionario Comunisto
Revolutionary ommunist party), ,
changed its name-on the advice of "ex-
perts"-to Partido Popular Socialista
popular Socialist party At the same
time 1t changed its emblem from the
hammer and sickle to the hammer and
machete.
In order not to draw too much fire
from the opposition, the head Of the
party is a nice. scholarly gentleman
named Juan Marinelo, former wealthy
sugar baron who lost his money. But
American observers in Havana regard
him as a mere front. The real leaders
are Bias Roca. the secretary general of
the party: Anibal Escalante, a Moscow
schooled Cuban, and Fabio Graubert,
who Is Russian n-born but Cuban natural
ized
Under the able administration Of
these three men, who have large funds
at their disposal, the Partido Popular
Socialista has become far more active
and effective than the other parties In
the Escuelas Leninistas Ueninist
Schools)-of which there are now So
students are being trained to spread the
Communist gospel throughout the

Miss Alton

Few women of her generation will
be remembered more gratefully by
the people of Washington than
Maude E. Alton, now dead at sev-
enty. Her life was devoted to
single cause, and she identified her
self so completely with it that in
the Nations Capital, if not else
where, she is certain always to be
associated with the immortal legend
of it. What instinct or experience it
was that first turned her attention
to the education of persons of for
eign birth for citizenship in the
United States may not be part of
the present story, but if ever a
formal biography is written about
her the start of her work in that
field inevitably should be explained
In detail
Meanwhile, the public well may
suppose that it was merely natural
love of her own wonderful country
that prompted Miss Atoms dedi-
cation of her talents to the cul-
tural business" of Americanization
She was an ardent patriot, and she
possessed the power to make others
feel about the Flag, the ideals and
the traditions of the Republic as she
did-enthusiaStically, constructively,
helpfully. Her own belief in what
America had been increased her
faith in what America might be.
She knew that progress was slow
and tedious of achievement, but she
also understood that it would be of
little worth if it were easy and cheap
to attain. Most of her pupils were
adults when they came to her. They
were familiar with the need for toll,
for competition and for co-opera-
ton. Under her guidance they
learned the essential lesson of
American life-the balance between
freedom and mutual responsibility.
Miss Alton proved the elemental
merit of her philosophy day by day
and night by night in the old red
brick building at Tenth and H
streets Northwest. Particularly in
the publications of her classes and
in their annual bazaars, she demon
strated what individuals of the most
notably diverse origins could &C
complish when they pooled their in
tellectual resources. The arts, the
crafts, the skills of fifty different
lands beyond the seas were brought
into focus in the programs over
which she presided. Her advisers
included the authentic leaders OF

No Time to HuqqIe

The unanimity of House approval
Of the Philippine trade bill is in
itself a fine gesture, in keeping with
our obligation, as Nation, to the
Filipinos. AS for the trade bill itself
it contains a flaw which the Senate
has opportunity to remove. Rep
resentative Dingell of Michigan
pointed it out, during House de-
bate, in words worth reproduction
here:
I'm this bill, unfortunately, the
Ways and Means Committee de-
cided to make cut in the Philip
pine sugar quota.
That cut amounts to 100000 short
tons. Now we are going to rec
ognize Philippine heroism during
the war, our long-standing obliga-
ton to the Philippines, by slashing
100000 short tons from the Philip
pine quota. Some may think that
this will benefit domestic interests.
I come from State which produces
a considerable amount of beet sugar.
I cannot see how this proposed
action will benefit Michigan by one
pound OF beet sugar. Even II it did,
l could not in good conscience ap-
prove this niggardly action, which
tells the world that we are weighing
in the balance 1000 short tons of
sugar quota against the unlimited
heroism and sacrifices of great
people in the cause of democracy.
What cheap way of paying off our
obligation! What a miserly way of
reckoning our debt to a heroic peo-
pie! Let me tell the members Of
the committee today that, in my
opinion, America will not benefit
from this short-sighted action. The
only interests which can possibly
benefit will be the Cuban sugar in
terests, already grown rich on the
profits of this war. I cannot pass
over this bill without expressing my
disappointment in this action. We
are here engaged in a great, gen.
erous gesture toward our heroic
wards, toward people who saved
us billions of dollars and thousands
of lives, and yet we have under
taken to haggle over 100000 tons OF
a sugar quota, which we would with
hold as a sop to some group which
has not known the terrors and sac
rifices of war"

the resultant community. Literally
thousands of men and women were
admitted not only to citizenship
but, in much more important
sense, into fellowship with Ameri-
cans of earlier immigrations under
her gentle management. These
friends paid her the homage of their
profound respect She was their
elder sister, they were her family
The ties between them are not
broken by "the most beautiful ad-
venture"

Power. Embodied
From the Wall Street Journal.

From the Wall Street Journal.
When Admiral King warned against
any arrangement which in case of war
would place the entire armed forces un-
der the head of a "superman," he made
what seems to us very valid argu-
ment against the merger of Army and
Navy.
The supreme commander who can
say, March here and do that or Sail
to this place and do this" may be an
attractive figure in the romantic treat
ment OF history. But in actual present
reality, such an embodiment Of un-
checked power may present quite an
other aspect.
Herr Hitler held supreme power and
by all testimony he was not military
ignoramus. Yet Herr Hitler started q
war holding all the trumps and pro-
ceeded to lose the war.

All Fools Caprice

To the Editor Of The Star:
It's ever so human to rationalize-tc
flatter ourselves that we're pretty smart
guys-to claim we're correct when we
make mistake-to argue TITS real!'',
though we fear it's a fake.
To shout that our bias is based upon
facts-to justify each of our derelict
acts-in essence, to live like the monarch
of song, whose courtiers told him he
couldn't do wrong
Perhaps April First is the finest Of
days to tighten our minds of this mes
meric haze; to call on Dame Reason
and all Of her elves for aid in the rid
dance Of kidding ourselves!

The 'Riqht to Strike

While the Government stands by
in confessed helplessness, not even
proposing an extension of the work
contract pending further negotia-
tionS, John L. Lewis and his 100000
coal miners have begun a strike
which, if long continued, will inf1ict
a Gripping blow on the national
economy.
No Federal official has raised a
voice in protest against this strike 1t
is interesting to note, however, that
despite this attitude of resignation
some concession has been made to
public rights and public opinion.
Mr.. Lewis has agreed to continued
operation of certain mines directly
connected with public utilities, and
the mine chieftain, although pos
sibly with tongue in cheek, has
pointed out that the strike did not
begin until such time as house
holders would suffer no inconven-
ience.
This is indicative of at least some
respect for the basic premise under
lying the attitude of Governor Tuck
toward the power strike which
threatened the State of Virginia
last week. 1t may be that the Gov
ernor acted prematurely in drafting
the power workers into the un-
organized State militia, and it is
possible that this would not have
proved to be an effective remedy.
The great majority Of Americans,
however, will indorse his main
position, namely that no group of
men have right" to strike against
the public interest, health and
safety of the people. Happily, the
power strike did not materialize
because the representatives Of the
union, as we'll as the representatives
of the employer, acting as mature
and responsible men should act,
have agreed to submit their differ
ences to arbitration.
Unfortunately, however, there is
too little of this responsible leader
ship in our industrial relations.
Too many people, both in official
life and otherwise, put an entirely
literal Interpretation on the phrase,
"the right to strike" Although a
certain measure of lip service still
is paid to the lockout" not one
person in ten thousand would con-
cede that the management OF
public utility has right to lock
out it's employees in a wage dispute.
And as a matter Of fact it is
ridiculous to talk of such right,
for it simply cannot exist in the
face of the public need for con-
tinued supply of such things as
water, power and food.
But the concept of an unqualified
right to strike" continues to be &C
cepted without challenge by many,
if not most, people. This. is an out
growth of the days when organized
labor had to fight for it's existence,
when the lockout was an ever
present reality rather than just
bitter memory, and when public
sympathy, reacting to abuses by
management, was strongly on the
side of labor. Those conditions no
longer exist, however. With the aid
of helpful laws, unions have become
firmly and permanently established
in our industrial system, and the
time is at hand when union leaders
and the public, too, should recog-
nize that the right to strike is not
an absolute right, but one which must
be subordinated to the right Of the
public to enjoy essential services.
Anything which helps to this end,
such as the courageous stand taken
by Governor Tuck and even the
limited concessions made by Mr..
Lewis, should be welcomed.

This and That
Bu Charles E. Trdce,UeU.
BETHESDA. Md.


Dear Sir:
II was not satisfied that spring was
really here until saw a robin in bush
outside our window.
The thing that convinced me that
spring is really here was the fact that
this robin remained there on the bush
for full hour.
He didn't move, you see, because he
had come to stay!
previously I had seen some robins
in the grass, one or two at time, but
they just seemed to be passing through.
They were not our robins, with the
possessive; they did not seem to belong,
and were on their way some place else;
they were not our fixed and final birds.
This fellow in the shrub was at home.
"He had been here before.
ITO me, that is appealing, that few
birds come all the way back, hundreds
of miles, to the exact place they spent
the previous summer.
Il am not bird bander, but I would
be willing to bet any sum-well, almost
any-that this particular bird was here
in our yard all last spring, summer and
part of the fall,
1T did me good to see him.
mo matter what the weatherman
says, know spring is really here at last.
Your very truly, G. T. E.
x X
Real resident robins have an air all
their own.
They belong, in definitive sense.
Perhaps they understand this as much
as their admirers.
Land is supposed to be the basis of
all things, and the robins know what
land is for.
Land, according to the robins, is for
worms and other good things to eat.
That is their primary understanding.
Perhaps if men every get as good one,
they will have an end to wars.
Land, according to minor robin
definition, is to fight over sometimes
not all the time.
Robins often engage in fights, but
these are purely personal affairs. They
are not the main use of land.
Food, in robin tongue, means worms.
A worm, if we may believe the robins,
and then drag out.
This sensing is done with the eye, and
the aid of the birds hearing.
Lie SllIllcI VI ali dCtlNt WO1ll lew
inches below the sod comes to those
aural canals. and the eye picks up the
very place.
That is how Old Man Robin can take
his stand, cock his head, and then with
one stab of that powerful bill drag a
part of his meal Wriggling into the open
air.
A worm is helpless in the air, as much
out of his element as fish from the
water.
A robin that belongs to ones yard is
different from a robin just passing
through.
Our own Lily Belle, raised by hand six
years ago, has come back every spring
We know her by her selection of the
same bough on the same maple tree
each spring, and the way she chatters
from it on arrival
No other bird performs in just the
same way.
The music of all robins is we'll worth
studying. There are many variations
and they blend so we'll with the songs of
other birds that too many friends miss
hearing them altogether. This is too
bad, because few bird songs offer more
being full, free and loud, varying with
the weather. and full of the zest of
living. The song is warble, lively and
interesting, and never forgotten, once a
listener becomes really acquainted with
it; but before that he is all too likely to
lose 1t amid the general hum and buzz
OF the outdoors.
