fused to recognize some of the gov
ernments established in those coun-
tries because these fail to meet the
Yalta and Moscow tests.
If the complaints now made by
the opposition leaders in Romania
are valid the Groza government
there certainly stands in default
For the charges are that the repre-
sentatives of those opposition par
ties formally taken into the Groza
cabinet have remained mere figure
heads, their remonstrances ignored
while the government has prosecuted
the parties they represent, ruling by
virtual martial law albeit declaring
the constitution in force. The con-
tention is that such "fagrant
breaches with respect to the liberties
granted by the Moscow agreement"
will, unless remedied at once, render
the pending elections farcical.
Here is a matter that cannot well
be soft pedaled or overlooked by the
western powers when they meet with
Soviet Russia on April Is in Paris.

The Labor Party's Budget
By Raynn ond Moley

When the Labor Chancellor OF the
Exchequer, Sir Hugh Dalton, presented
his annual budget to the House of
Commons, the London stock market
went up like a balloon. For months
there had been fears Of great capital
levy and that there would be rich gifts
for the low-income groups. 1t was
further expected that there would be
plenty of deficit spending and sociali-
zation projects.
and the capitalists were agreeably sur
prised. Perhaps, they are now saying,
the Labor party Is once more going
orthodox in finance. The Labor party
under Ramsay Macdonald had an ex-
ceedingly orthodox chancellor, Philip
SnoWden.
It is little early to celebrate, how
ever. The Chancellor Of the Exchequer
says that his favorable picture can be
realized only if the American loan goes
through. Only that sum will bridge
the gap between British purchasing
power and earnings through exports.
X \ X \
One point on which Sir Hugh follows
the Labor party line is the estate tax.
On an estate Of $4,000, 900 or more, the
heirs must pay three-quarters to the
government.
The deficit of Britain for the past year
was $8.4 billion. But the total budget for
the next year is $15.5 billion, with a
deficit Of $2.8 billion, which is probably
more than we shall have. Sir Hugh
promises balance two years hence.
Sir Hugh makes the dry remark that

Trouble in Romuniu

With the projected Foreign Min
isters' meeting in Paris, slated for
April Is, so near at hand, any COM
plication in the countries logically
under discussion is potentially seri-
GUS. This consideration lends addi-
tional weight to the formal charge
made by the opposition party lead
ers in Romania that all promises of
Premier Groza's government to carry
out terms of the Big Three Moscow
accord have been broken.
That Moscow meeting between the
Foreign Ministers of America, Brit
ain and the Soviet Union last De-
cember was essentially a reaffirma-
ton of the understanding arrived
at by the heads of the same Big
Three Churchill, Roosevelt and
Stalin) when they met at Yalta early
in that same year. The Moscow ac-
cord specifically affirmed the inten-
ton of the signatories that the lib
Grated countries of Europe should be
aided in the establishment OF truly
representative regimes, elected by
fair and free elections; which, in
turn, postulated the assurance of
freedom of the press, speech, asso-
citation and religion. It is well known
that these specifications have been
more honored in the breach than
the observance in all the liberated
countries under Russian influence or
control, with the notable exception
of Finland. However, America and
Britain have not renounced their
attitude that these specifications
should be observed in Albania, Aus
tria. Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania
and Yugoslavia. and they have re-

Whole People Cove Aid

From the New York Times
The German people had submitted to
the rule of arrogant beasts who could
describe members of another race or re-
ligion as "lice" to be exterminated-and
proceed to exterminate them. The Ger
man people meekly obeyed the orders
OF man like Himmler, who said that
whether nations live in prosperity or
starve to death interests me only in so
far as we need them for slaves for our
kultur." A few Germans fought the
regime and suffered for it. Many may
have obeyed out of fear. But the mass
of the German nation was the effective
agency behind these horrible deeds and
the mass of the German nation was
our effective enemy in the late war.
When all the testimony is in We shall
find that what the Germans did in Eu.
rope was paralleled by what the Japa.
nese did in China and other parts of the
Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity
Sphere" In both cases the ruling power
was not merely an enemy Of certain ma
tions or certain races or certain re-
ligious groups, it was an enemy Of the
human race.

Britain Is paying reparations to Ger
many" Three hundred million dollars
are marked for German occupatio and
feeding.
The low-income groups will pay
lower tax because Of the increase in
personal exemptions. But there is no
indication of full return to the old
habit Of exempting all who earn less
than $3.50. All other incomes pay mine
shilling Of the pound" which means As
per cent. During the war the rate was
SO per cent. Some sales taxes will be
reduced in proportions varying from 80
to 100 per cent.
The entire impression given by the
Chancellor is that his budget and the
speech accompanying it were aimed at
America. Sir Hugh bears the reputation
OF being one Of Britain's most intelli-
gent labor leaders. He Is trying to say
to our Congress that the Labor Govern
ment does not intend to equalize income
and assets artif1cially roughly and me-
chanically. He is saying that a bal
anced budget and sound financing are
his objectiveS. For this reason he wants
us to know that, if loan is made,
Britain will live up to her obligations
under it. This will, under the Dalton
plan, be quite possible, for the first
payment under the proposed loan will
not be due until 1880
The net of the Labor Governments
gesture to us is that, If we make the
loan, Britain will conduct her finances
on traditional lines.

New Deal at the Jail

Investigation of the District Jail
by Representative Hebert's subcom-
mittee of the House District Com
mittee has won public confidence
because 1t has been fair, straight
to the point and without headline
seeking excursions by the investi-
gators.
1t has supplied additional evi-
dence of the mismanagement, lack
of discipline and general incom-
petence in Jail administration which
were the chief contributing factors
in the scandalous escape of prisoners.
Deficiencies in the Jail structure
itself are only in part to blame.
The investigation points to two
steps which should be taken. One
is the selection of superintendent,
even on a temporary basis, who can
take charge at the Jail and restore
morale in the custodial force while
instituting reforms in prison routine.
The other is legislation which will
transfer administration of penal
institutions in the District from
the Board of Public Welfare to the
Commissioners.
For several years the Commission
ers have been recommending legis-
lation to strip the Board of Public
Welfare of all its many administra-
tive functions, making it purely an
advisory body. But specific legisla-
ton for penal administration, per-
haps setting up within the Municipal
Government a department OF cor
rections, should precede any final
decision on the Board of Public
Welfare's competency in other fields,
or assignment of its future role in
public welfare.
The legislation needed now should
be aimed at correcting the specific
faults already revealed in the ad-
ministration of penal institutions
and one of the most glaring of these
is the absence of fixed responsibility,
In the discharge of which public
agency under the Commissioners
may be held accountable.

OfSenutors and Such

When the President Of the United
States starts throwing things at the
Senators in public, spring is here
indeed and summer cannot be far
behind. But the Senators can take
it-and take it they did yesterday
from Southpaw Truman and Joe
Cronin's invading sluggers and chill
winds from New England.
There is nothing like an opening
baseball game to bring out the best
in the worst of us. Yesterdays game
at Griffith Stadium brought out
more than that. 1t brought out
office boy and executive Occasion
ally in embarrassing juxtaposition), 3,
sportsman and scientist, the woman
with the new Easter hat preview and
the faithful bleacherite willing to
stand in line for hours to be tar
get for one of Ted Williams atomic
blasts. 1t brought out pop bottles
and popcorn and score cards and all
the other traditional ingredients Of
the great American pastime.
That the home team let the local
fans down in the initial contest of
the 1946 pennant race is matter
of passing regret to the dyed-in-the-
wool supporters of Manager Bluege's
Mats. If those bleacher experts had
been running the team, of course,
the result would have been different.
But, after all, the opening game is
just the opening game, any way you
look at it. Those Senators were just
f1libustering yesterday in protest
against presidential lobbying from
the gallery. Wait and see what
happens when the campaign really
gets under way!

This Changing World
Bv Constantine Br0,vn

Secretary Of State Byrnes Is going to
Paris next week convinced that he will
face rough road ahead when he starts
discussing the peace problems" Of Eu-
rope with his Russian colleague
The unity of the Big Three, for which
President Roosevelt and later Presi-
dent Truman have paid an exorbitant
price, is laundering This has been
demonstrated at the United Nations
Security Council meetings In New York.
Two, very distinct political philoso-
phiesAless obvious during the war than
now-are separating the western powers
from the U. S. S. r. We believe in a
world peace based on fair play and
justice. Russias conception is the domi-
nation Of her neighbors near and far
by means Of political coercion backed
by military strength.
For the sake of postwar unity, the
American Government has sacrificed
many of the principles for which we
fought the Axis. President Roosevelt
is known to have said privately to some
Of his advisers who were protesting
against the continued yielding to Rus
sia's territorial demands that he himself
did not like to give in but it was neces-
sary to keep the Soviets in the war.
Mr.. Roosevelt, and later President
Truman, were convinced that the situa-
ton would change, once the war was
over and Moscow realized that 1t had
no cause to suspect the intentions of its
wartime associates. Russia's need for
peace and for Americas economic sup
port was considered among the para
mount factors for maintaining the unity
of the Big Three.
The American Government, which re-
luctantly yielded Central Europe and
the Balkans to the Soviets, was con-
vinced that our war associates appe-
tite had been satisfied and close and
sincere cooperation would ensue there
after. Washington recognized some Of
Russia's puppets, although none of the
conditions required of them at the Yalta
Conference had been fulfilled honestly.
Moreover, the American Government
was careful to take no action regard
less OF how humanitarian it might
have been, to offend those puppets who
took particular delight in treating Amer
lea and her representatives with disdain.
This reporter is in possession of a
letter from an officer Of the 376th Bonn
bardment Group stationed in Italy dur
ing the war. This officer writes about

known" he writes, that the 376th had
within It's group an air force all its own.
1t was the Yugoslav Air Force, operated
by Yugoslav nationals trained in the

orators presented by President Roose-
welt to the Yugoslav government and

can colleagues Their losses, for such a

OPEN LETTER TO U. N.

OPEN LETTER TO Y. N.
Gentlemen:
You are sitting in New York with the
support and consent of the people of
the world. from whom alone you derive
any authority whatsoever. You have
been intrusted by them to found this
earth on peace. You are failing In that
function.
AS I write these lines the headlines
tell me, Sharp Fight in U. N. Expected
on Iran" When I turn on my radio
this afternoon I anticipate a heated
fight on Spain. In fact, we can antici-
pate the discussion Of almost anything
except that for which We wait with
caught breath, namely. what any or all
Of you are doing to stop war. That is
what you are there for-to stop war.
We clearly see through the issues"
and "menaces to peace" that you raise.
We clearly see that the fate Of small
nations concerns mono Of you who rep
resent great nations. The small nations
are but pawns in your own schemes.
Your moves are directed, not toward
peace. but against each other.
Each Of you Is afraid.
My country's people. Mr. Gromyko,
and those Of Great Britain, have read
the speeches of the Russian leaders We
watch as your country nights for exclu-
sive control over vast Russian states
and economies. We observe your delay
ing tactics on the peace conference. We
take heed of the repeated cry that you
are surrounded by enemies" We know
that your armies are not diminishing,
but growing augmented by new armies
Of vassal states. And over every deci-
sion hangs the fact Of 400 armed Soviet
divisions.
Your country, however, also has rea-
son to fear. You know that America
has stores Of atomic bombs, that Amer
leans do not like Communism, especial
ly expansionist military Communism.
You justify expansion, secret plans,
planting of agents to spy and confuse
on the ground that you are not safe.
And there is some truth behind your
fears. as there is behind ours, and as
there is, above all, behind the fears of
Great Britain.
Yet you hold the whole world between
you. Your enemies are totally defeat
ed, broken and disarmed.
Why, then, do you not disarm your
selves? Your government. Mr.. Gromy-
ko, once recommended to the League of
Nations the abolition OF all the armies,
navies and air forces of the world. Mr..
Litvinov was rejected then. Then Russia
was weak. Today she is strong. Is that
why you do not recommend 1t again?
Then you are hypocrite!
Your government, Mr.. Byrnes, initi-
ated a solemn treaty, signed by all gov
ernments, never to resort to force as

small air force, were extremely heavy.
Being personally acquainted with
them, know they possessed the highest
loyalty for the Allied cause. When in
April, 1945, it was decided to return my
group to the United States, an incident
unparalleled in American history oc-
CURED and caused me to lose quite a
bit of respect for my own government.
The Yugoslav airmen-all MihAlovich
men-Were denied the right to return to
America with my outfit as it would
possibly displease some foreign govern
ment."
The writer concluded with sad
comment about the United States,
which has always been the spokesman
for the downtrodden and has always
offered haven to political refugees from
fuse asylum to men who have fought
loyalty for the American principles of
justice because it might displease
Marshal Tito and his bosses in Moscow.
The appeasement policy of the Amer
ican Government was prompted by the
desire to establish a lasting peace This
policy was interpreted, however, in the
Soviet camp, as proof of extreme weak
ness. The American motives were mis-
understood. They were ascribed to the
fact that we had no choice but to yield
to the demands of the U. S. S. r. and
its satellites. The eastern bloc" in
stead Of realizing that the American
concessions" were based on a long
range policy of international co-opera-
ton, believed that America, having be-
come a secondary military power, had
lost all its fight.
Secretary Byrnes Is we'll aware that
he will be confronted with this Russian
frame of mind when he begins the dis
cussion of peace treaties regarding
Italy, Bulgaria and Romania Reports
from Moscow indicate that the Russian
representative-eithe Foreign Minister
Molotov or his deputy, Andrei Vishinsky
intends to be as tough as ever. Russia
will demand full satisfaction of all
Yugoslavia's demands on Italy, the full
compliance with Russia's own demands
regarding the Dodecanese Islands and
naval and air bases in the Italian colo
nies in Africa, and MoscoW-drafted
peace agreement with Bulgaria and
Romania which would change their
status from temporary to permanent
Russian satellites.
The Secretary of State is not disposed
to yield to any unreasonable requests
which the Russians are expected to put
forth. He is expected to maintain the
same reasonably uncompromising atti-
tude" he has adopted before the Sc
curity Council in New York. Mr.
Byrnes is aware that further policy of
appeasement is fraught with greater
danger for this country than a forth
right policy Of standing by the princi-
Piles for which this country entered the

Investing in the Atom

There Is nothing particularly sur
prising in the report that the Gov
ernment is still spending about a
half billion dollars year on atomic
energy operations. At present the
work is being financed by war funds
which run out next July l. but Con-
gress will have to arrange to support
1t after that, and there is scant like
lihood that any spectacular cut in
costs will be possible in the next few
years.
When the Special Senate Commit
tee on Atomic Energy questioned him
on this subject a few months ago
General Groves, administrative head
of the project gave a lucid explana-
tion of why the cost factor promises
to remain high, even after the all
civilian control commission takes
over. The work, to begin with, in
wolves the administration of two
wholly Government-owne cities,
one at Oak Ridge, Tenn, and the
other at Hanford, Wash. 1t involves
also the operation of the important
Federal laboratory at Los Alamos,
N Mex, and such federally financed
affiliated laboratories as the Argonne
of the University of Chicago. At its
wartime peak the whole undertaking
directly employed $4,000 individuals.
This total is now down to about TO-
600 and by 1947 or 1948, according to
General Groves rough estimates, it
may be cut further to $4,000. Even
then, however, the outlay will be on
the order of about $400,00O,000 a
year if the present great plant is to
be maintained on scale guarantee
Ing adequate research and develop
ment.
In other words, as result of SCI
entific genius, the Federal budget in
the years Immediately ahead is going
to carry a major cost item which
never existed in the Nations prewar
history. This item will be roughly
equivalent to what we spent annual
ly to maintain our entire Army es-
tablishment before 1899. Progress
in this particular, besides giving
mankind a revolutionary new power,
thus seems at first glance to have
saddled us all with an extra load,
meaning extra taxes, more or less
as if an expensive luxury had been
imposed upon us overnight.
But to take this view OF the un-
paralleled progress represented by
atomic energy is to take narrow
view. Wholly apart from the price
less gains it may mean in such fields
as medicine, the outlay promises to
yield vast economic profit in the fu-
ture. Conceivably, for instance. we
may eventually find that giant bat
tleships and aircraft carriers are
unnecessary, and we can economic
greatly there. Similarly, even more
Importantly, by licensing and other
arrangements, the whole operation
may become more than self-support-
ing and lead to tremendous new in
dustrial advances enriching every
one.
Atomic energy, moreover, contains
q bright promise in a social and po-
litical sense. Thus the very fact that
It Is fantastically capable of endan-
