-strange Fl It, told
New York recentlys e
matter of racial andre
tolerance America has arr
slst abcut where Germany was in
1885 when Hitler came into pow
er.
AEiss raith's opinion, If correct
- far rom comforting. We can
not dispute what she says on the
grounds that the pure and virtu-
tuous American people would au-
tomatically reject an American
Hitler of an official policy OF an
ti-Semitic and anti-Negro bigo-
try. The 5000 odd victims of lyn-
ching in all sections of the coun-
try and the Negro casualties in
race riots would certainly testify
to the mob spirit in placid, run
of the mill Americans.
Colored citizens have no illu-
sions about the farce and pre-
tense of a square deal for all. But
unfortunately, considerable mum
ber of Americas focal minority
do not take time out from their
own woes to spot the mote in their
own eyes. AS fantastic as it seems
from logical standpoint, a fair
share of anti-semitic prejudice and
bigotry are to be found in the
hearts of 100000 Negroes.
OF course its easy to explain
why members of minorities echo
the sterotypes of defamation OF
other minorities. But it still can
not be justified. Psychologists tell
us that a man who is kept down
by someone more powerful feels
the need to kick still another per-
son in order to bolster his pride
and ego. Thus on the Texas bor-
der we find exploited Negro wor-
kers blindly helping their cracker
bosses to oppress even further the
illiterate and hapless Mexican i'm
migrants. Thus also in our big
urban centers we find even intel
ligent and educated Negro pro-
fessionals slandering Jews and
Catholics.
Sometimes it seems reasonable
TO hope that new day among
minorities is developing. We got
a glimpse of it during the war
when many a Negro felt kim
ship and bond of despair with the
prosecuted Japanese-Americans.
Quite a few Negroe soldiers bit,
terly resented the racist epithets
that various admirals and gener-
ais hurled at our yellow-skinned
enemy. Certainly the times are
ripe for a growth of solidarity be-
tween Jews, Negroes, Nisei ano
other victims of discrimination
The FEPC has found that equal
job opportunities are denied to all
these minorities. If anything, the
problem is getting worse.
A crisis is ahead for America
Sometimes people react intelli
gently to the needs of the hour
and unite, as in the 80 ties. The
CIO and unization of mass indu-
stries was a principal result OF
this solidarity. On other accasions
We become panicky and strike out
blindly, clinging to the straw OF
individualism and sinking a knife
into the backs of our fellow men
in an effort to keep afloat
These are the two paths ahead
Let us hope that we Americans
of color analyZe the situation at
hand and choose the rational
course. Then no longer will any
of us mouth the Hitler-like doc
trines of anti-semitic, anti-Jap-
anese or anti-Catholic bigotry.

In the Middle of q Middle

the House subcommittee on Dis
trict Appropriations decided not to
recommend a specific increase in
the Federal payment, for that would
involve legislation in an appropria-
ton bill and thus would be subject
to a point of order.
Instead, it included in its report
an argument for increasing the Fed
eral payment and the full Appro-
priations Committee deleted the
argument from the report on what
seems to have been the contention
that its approval by the full COM
mittee would commit the committee
to a point of view which it lacked
the time to investigate thoroughly.
There also seems to have been some
fear of precedent.
1t was not ever thus. In 1923 an
appropriations subcommittee, under
a chairman who was hostile to the
District, amended organic law by
writing into the appropriation bill
whole new act, changing the fifty
fifty ratio to Sixty-forty, and the
full committee approved it. Two
years later the subcommittee ignored
its own amendment of the law and
changed from a fixed-ratio basis of
appropriations to a lump sum, and
the full committee approved that.
There were points of order in the
House against such legislation in
the appropriation bills, but they were
overruled on misapplication of the
so-called Holman rule, under which
it seems to be possible to legislate
in an appropriation bill if any sav-
ingS to the United States result. The
point, however is that fears of prece-
dents of legislation on appropriation
bills do not disturb the Appropria-
tions Committee unless they happen
to benefit the local taxpayer.
Take, for example, legislation that
has been riding through on District
bills for years-a clause forbidding
use by the District of highway
materials testing laboratory which
cost the local taxpayer 100000 to
build and equip and which has re-
manned idle for eleven years. The
subcommittee, after hearing the
facts, struck out the clause. The
Appropriations Committee stuck it
back in. In eleven years the local
taxpayer has paid the Bureau of
Standards $151,329 more than it
would cost to maintain and operate
the idle testing laboratory.
When the House Appropriations
Committee lacks the time to inquire
into the facts and repudiateS the
recommendations of it's own sub
committee which does, the voteless
local taxpayer ends up in the mid

not aggressive, attitude abroad. They
fear the dissipation of the national
strength through foreign adventures,
and are against any Soviet attempt to
sacrifice internal national strength for
the creation Of any special sort of order
in Europe.
The second category embraces two
wings of specifically Communist theo-
reticians, though both are in contradic-
ton to the nationalists of either camp.
The right wing regards with uneasiness
the power politics of the Soviet They
fear that the means by which Soviet
foreign policy is conducted will preju-
dice European and American workers
against Communism and hold that pow
er politics is in contradiction to the
Russian revolution. They wish mod
crate foreign policy, no extension of
Communism by force, but rather the
building up of Moscow as withdrawn
spiritual center of the world proletariat
"a Red Vatican
The left-WingerS. on the contrary,
take a cosmopolitan view that Commu-
mist prestige has risen, but, Interestingly
enough, are also in favor of toning down
eXpansionism. They are not isolation
lists, but want to concentrate on build
ing up Soviet internal economy and then
throwing the country wide open to the
World-as they believe will be desirable
within few years. They believe that
through friendly contact with the out
side world the Communist idea will be
better spread than by official propa-
ganda
AS yet these are opinions, not fac
tions. The Soviet government wishing
to avoid factionalism, is making con-
cessions to all of them, and trying to
steer a middle course. (This is the
more necessary, since the death of
Stain might lead to split in the
country, if divergencies are not previ-
ously focused)
The writer's report seems, in common
sense, probable. Differences of opinion
exist in the most totalitarian states
and are bound to form over every new
position, such as the postwar situation.
In totalitarian politics, once decision
has been made, whether by accepting
one view or compromising several, fur
ther opponents are "liquidated."
But which line is followed will also
be influenced by the behavior of Brit
ain and America. If we open oppor-
tunity to the imperialists they are more
likely to triumph. If we support the
caution of the moderates, they are more
likely to win credence in Moscow. 1t is,
therefore, necessary for us to consider
which groups in Russia We wish to aid
or hamper by our policies.

Local Daylight Saving

The advantages of daylight-sav-
ing time have become so generally
recognized since it first was tried
out during World War I days that
it is not surprising that all or parts
of % States and many of the larger
cities of the country will resume the
extra-daylight schedule the latter
part of this month. Unless Congress
acts promptly, Washington will not
be among the favored communities
this summer. The District Commits
sionerS lack legal authority to insti-
tute the system locally. However,
Corporation Counsel West, at the re-
quest of Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee, is pre-
pairing a bill which would provide
the necessary authority.
The Parks and Recreation Com
mittee of the Washington Board of
Trade reflects popular sentiment,
The Star believes, in urging passage
of legislation to give local residents
an extra hour of daylight from April
Is to October IS, so that they may
spend more time in their gardens,
in the parks and Fairgrounds or in
other places of outdoor exercise and
recreation. 1t is unfortunate that
Maryland and Virginia so far have
taken no action looking toward
summertime return to daylight say
ing, for a disparity between time
reckoning in the District and adjoin-
ing areas would make for confusion,
especially in the transportation field.
Apparently the nearby counties
could not adopt the plan without
State approval.
Most of the New England States
will go on daylight-saving time on a
Statewide basis, while many others
