dia In Rome. Indeed, during that time,
1t was impossible to- buy In the italian
capital anything made out Of American
flour, any English or American ciga-
rettes, nor any chocolates, candy, or any
thing else coming from Allied coun-
tries. BY this tender attention they
indeed spared La 9uardia the disa-
greeable prospect Of seeing personally
that the commodities delivered by the
Allies to alleviate distress were traded
on the streets at exorbitant prices by
black marketeers."
La Guardias may have undergone .
somewhat similar Illusion In the home
land Of the great Potemkin. He Is Just
publishing some articles rejecting his
impressions on going through Russia
Nothing In his articles points to the ex-
ceedingly low standard Of living In
Russian towns and villages, for he had
seen only happy and hearty children
and an astonishingly clean subway In
Moscow. He reports little Of the abso-
lutte compulsion OF political and social
opinions. His description has only praise
OF everything he saw.
However, Mr.. La Guardia may, to .
degree, be excused for this. In Rome
he could not see what the black mar
keteers did, but since he understands
the language, he perhaps should have
heard echoes Of their work. In Russia
the new Potemkin had an easier job.
La Guardia could not hear what went
on around him, and what he saw, he
saw through the eyes Of those who
wanted him to rec exactly what pctem-
kin wanted his empress 70 see.

Hioher Cos Tax

If the District is to get the high
way improvements that are so ur-
gently needed, it does not seem
possible to avoid the increase in the
gasoline tax rate said to have been
recommended to the District Com
missioners by their special tax COM
mittee.
During the war the. street and
highway program had to be dras-
tically curtailed, but as construction
opportunities improve it is essential
to go forward with this program.
And 1t is only reasonable that the
gasoline users, who will be the prin-
cipal beneficiaries of the program,
should carry the burden of the ex-
pense. This is all the more true, of
course, in" view of the Districts
Strengthened financial condition-a
condition which would not permit
of the diversion of funds from other
sources to highway work.
Last June Engineer Commissioner
Gordon r. Young recommended a
SAT, 900, 900 highway and traffic pro-
gram during the next six years, pro-
posing to finance it through an
increase in the gasoline tax and by
securing an additional $l9,000,000
from Federal aid and loans. At the
present rate of three cents a gallon,
1t is estimated that the gas tax this
fiscal year will bring in about
S4,800,000. The contemplated four
cent rate would increase this to
around $6,3OO,OO0.
Any tax increase, of course, is un-
palatable. But in the situation pre-
vailing here there seems to be no
alternative to the higher gasoline
nevy. Even at the higher rate, the
Districts tax would be two cents
less than Virginia's and equal to
Maryland's.

There are many legends in Russia
about Prince Grigory Aleksandrovich
Potemkin, most durable minister Of
Catherine the Great. One Is that. after
q devastating war, the empress wished
to see the true state of the countryside.
So, when the empress travelled down
great river, Potemkin managed to dis
play q colorful state of well-being by
erecting on the shore theatrical back
drops portraying prosperous villages,
with actors dancing about to imperson-
ate happy inhabitants. It is said that
Catherine was much impressed by the
wealth and gaiety Of her subjects.
Something like this show seems to
have been staged for the emperor Of
UNRRA, Fiorello H. La Guardia, on his
recent visit to Italy. UNRRA has be-
slowed upon the homeland Of Fiorello's
fathers not much less than billion
dollars worth OF goods. It Is not un-
known here and there that black mar
keteers have hourished. despite these
foreign benefactions. But 1t now appears
that the black marketeers Of Italy, re-
sponsive to the spirit Of dramatic gaiety,
participates in bit of drollery for the
eyes of La Guardia. A Swiss news

The most that one can say about the
lhukov episode, at least until more con-
crete evidence Is available. is that there
Is nothing inherently implausible about
the notion that the marshal, one of the
great heroes of the war against Germany,
has been removed for political reasons.
The nature of the Russian state is such
that grave strains can and do occur
within it-strains which may have moth
ing to do with mass public opinion. or
even fundamental policies, but which
simply reflect the conflicts OF groups at
or near the center Of power. It cannot
be forgotten that before the war there
was very far-reaching and drastic
purge Of the Red Army Although this
was much more elaborately documented
than the zhukov incident, there is still
controversy outside Russia as to the mo-
tives and effect Of the purge-although
some Of the more sensational theories
Of the time have been convincingly dis
proved. Hence it Is hardly profitable to
indulge in idle fears or wishful thinking
at every unexplained or apparently in-
explicable action Of the Soviet hierarchy,
even though, in Russia's present position
Of power. such speculations are almost
inevitable.

On the Record
By Dorothy Thom bson

Of, the future of Germany and Europe
Is, at least, ineligible. The Russians
realize as does Gen. De Gaulle the
chief geopolitical fact OF our era, namely
that real sovereignty" is the property
only Of vast powers and that even YES
terday's great states, such as France.
are no longer powers" They believe
in the unity of Europe, with its capital
IN Moscow, and they know as well as
Hitler did that who rules from the
Channel to the Urals rules the world.
TO accomplish this 1t was first neces-
sary to partition Europe. which was
done with our collaboration.
1t was, second, necessary to prevent
the other powers from bringing forward
any constructive ideas Of their own.
For this they have the instrument of
their own political movement in every
country on earth. Mr.. Molotov is now
denouncing the Morgenthau plan-and
Mr.. Byrnes had to run to Stuttgart to
say, sMe, too"
But eight months ago, to attack the
Morgenthau plan in the United States
meant to bring down upon ones head a
chorus Of abuse from American Com
munists and fellow travellers and the
leading tntellectuals of the PAC, who
were all strongly supporting, not
Morgenthau plan sponsored by Russia.
but one. as it turns out, to put the
United States on record as the enemy
Of the German workers, and any one
who opposed 1t was branded an enemy
Of peace"
The Soviet Union, through the device
OF union Of multinational states, each
of them sovereign" and equal" dixie
the Ukraine), is infinitely expandable,
not necessarily by war, but through
legal or illegal seizures of internal
power. Against this the United States
has had and still has no other idea
than the revival of the European pre-
war status quo.
Why did not the United States of
America raise the banner of a United
States of Europe? Why does it not still
do so? But no suggestion emanating
from Britain, as it did during the war,
was more quickly squelched in WASH
ington, and all that Mr.. Byrnes could
suggest for Germany leaves unanswered
the basic problem Of Europe as q whole
without solution for which no Ger
many can recover. The fate Of Austria
and western Germany Is hardly less
involved in Venezia Giulia, for instance,
than is the fate Of italy and italian
democracy.
Today the veto power which the
European Communist parties have,
even as minority, and which they
use to prevent anything other than
Russian solution, could only be over
come by dynamic modern democratic
program and international party en-
joying as vigorous and unequivocal
support as the International Commu-
mist party gets from Moscow.

dous enough to keep the evaluators
busy correlating and interpreting 1t
for some weeks to come. Perhaps
the deep underwater test may be
found to be worthwhile at some
later date, but the United States in
particular and the other nations in
general have already acquired a
vast amount OF fearsome knowledge
that should drive them, with a sense
of urgency, into an enduring peace,
the biggest demonstrated fact of all
being that the worlds only sure de-
fense against the bomb is the perma-
nent elimination of war itself.

This Changing World

at San Francisco specifically makes it
the business Of the United Nations to
settle al territorial disputes between Its
members, and between 4 member and
q nonmember.
OF course, the whole situation springs
from the attitude with which Soviet
Russia now treats the Greek govern
ment, especially since the plebiscite re-
suited in favor Of the return Of the
monarchy. Russia acts-and requires her
satellites and member states, Byelorus-
sia and Ukraine, to act-toward Greece
as If she were an enemy state II there
was ever any reason for Greece to fight
for liberty and democracy at the side Of
Russia as member Of the United Ma
tions. that reason has been forgotten in
the heat Of Russia's campaign-befors
both the peace conference and the Unit
ed Nations-to force Greece into the
Red sphere behind the iron curtain" I"

any progress and come forth with any
acceptable recommendation for the
peace treaties-which must ultimately

dispose promptly Of these territorial
claims which have no relationship to
the work the conference was called to
do.
There can be no just peace settlements
which include recognition of either
Yugoslavia's or Bulgaria's claims. This
Is not to say that their claims lack the
element OF justice. That is beside the
point. No matter how just they may be,
they are not At subjects for action by
the peace conference, and their inclu-
sion IN the treaty recommendations
would merely provide the basis for fresh
dlssension when they reach the Council
OF Foreign Ministers and, If accepted
there, when they reach the United
Nations.
Soviet Russia has attempted to turn
the Paris Peace Conference into a tool
Tor her own expansionist policies, and
no happy results can be expected from
it II she is permitted to continue so to
dlstort the aims and purposes of the
conference. She enjoys, Of course, greater
relative influence in the peace con-
ference than she does in either the
Council Of Foreign Ministers or in the

1t Is therefore to her ADVANTAGE to

If we take Russia's obstructionist tao
tics at Paris in conjunction with her
demand for postponement of the United

weeks from today-we cannot escape the
conviction that her great single purpose
right now appears to be to prevent any

With Mr. Byrnes' speech in Stuttgart
the struggle for Germany between west
and east oficially began. Actually,
1t began long ago, with all the ele-
ments of Greek tragedy in its inevi-
liability. It has come about through
the logic Of the events set in motion
at Teheran, Yalta, and. above all,
Potsdam.
The partition and disintegration of
Europe, the abandoning of all princi-
Piles of any universal validity in favor
of the most naked power politics seen
In centuries:f the adding by way of
Preparations" "deindustrialization" and
transfers of population, Of new economic
and human wreckage to the dreadful
devastations wrought by war; the blast
ing of democratic hopes with conse-
quential mental and spiritual despair
have all deepened the chaos which is
far more than merely material We
have on our hands a Europe mortally
i'll; the struggle at the deathbed is
shoulish-the would-be heirs dividing
the estate while breath still rattles
In the dying throat and the patient
looks on with eyes in which the last
expression will be, perhaps. contempt
At any rate the struggle for what
is left of Europe will be unequal. Mr..
Byrnes may have been in Stuttgart
Offering hope, but what could he offer
that is tangible? While he was in
Stuttgart offering hope to the Ger
mans, Signor De Gasperi was facing
political crisis In italy, q crisis de-
liberately created by the Big Four
including the United States, which may
easily remove from office that Italian
leader and party Of any size most
firmly oriented toward western civil
ization.
The United States might have stood
firmly for the treatment of post-Mus-
solinis Italy as a co-belligerent, which
1t was We might have reminded Mr..
Molotov that the Soviet Union itself
set the precedent for a regime repudiat-
ing the errors and debts Of its prede-
cessors, as Lenin did of the Cars We
might have asked for little conse-

also. though most belatedly, accepted
that judgment.
But inconsequential ourselves-so in
consequential that every speech and
utterance of our leaders has m air of
irrelevance-we. cannot demand conse-
quentiality of others.
Besides, the Russians are in all mat

consequential. They possess, in the
first line, dynamic idea, framework
of reference, purpose. and an his

barbarious, brutal and treacherous. BY

is defeating the other; each is defeating
himself.

Atom Test Postponed

In postponing for an indefinite
period the deep underwater A-bomb
test that had been scheduled for
early next year. President Truman
appears to have been governed solely
by the fact that the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, on the ground that it would
serve no useful purpose at this time,
have recommended against staging
it "in the near future"
The news will please those who
have been deploring all such expert
ments as "menacing gestures" likely
to offend other powers, notably Rus
sia. But II international political
considerations have had any real
bearing on the Presidents decision,
the White House postponement
statement makes no reference to
them.
Actually, like the two Bikini tests
early this summer, the now-deferred
deep underwater test-involving pos
sibly the deadliest atomic explosion
of all-was originally planned to
serve but one primary purpose: To
increase our knowledge of the atom
in terms of both pure science and
military security. Our experimental
ton, in other words, has not been
designed to show of our power; If
it has acquired any political con-
notation at all, it has done so only
incidentally, as result of what some
people have read into 1t and not
because the United States has
planned it that way.
Similarly, the postponement OF
the deep underwater test may be re-
garded as politically motivated only
to the extent that that interpreta-
ton is placed upon 1t by those who
have called the earlier tests a mere
exercise in atomic diplomacy. But
the White House explanation makes
a good deal more sense-the simple
explanation that the scheduled event
has been called of (not necessarily
cancelled) because the Joint Chiefs
of Staff feel that the Bikini explo-
sions, together with the original
New Mexico explosion and detailed
studies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
will enable our scientific and mill
tary experts to make proper evalu-
alton" Of the A-bombs effects.

Assembly Meetino

WIN many now supporting Rus
sia's request for a postponement,
there is little likelihood that the
United Nations General Assembly
will convene in New York on Sep
tember %, as scheduled. The pro-
posal to delay it has been made or
the ground that the Soviet Union,
together with several other coun-
tries, might otherwise be hard put
to find enough trained diplomatic
personnel to take part in it and in
the Paris Peace Conference at the
same time. This view seems per-
suasive, but If the Assembly ses-
sion is to be put off at all, the de-
ferment period should not extend
beyond the proposed new date of
October %.
Conceivably, with the Security
Council also in session, simultaneous
deliberations in Paris and New York
could lead to some confusion, at
least to the extent that they would
increase the already great volume of
international speechmaking. Con-
ceivably, too, they could place an
extra strain on the diplomatic stats
of some countries, but neither this
nor the possible confusion would
warrant an indefinite postponement.
The Peace Conference, after all, is
open only to twenty-one nations
and has one kind of business to per-
form, whereas the Assembly, which
will convene with thirty additional
nations in attendance, has a differ
ent sort of work cut out for it,
entirely separate from treaty
ing but of long-term Importance to
the United Nations.
This work includes both techni-
cal and political matters-organiz
tional measures, consideration of a
site for United Nations headquarters,
the drawing up of budget, voting
on new members and debate over
such issues as the Big Five veto.

ing of prompt attention. To defer
them indefinitely would be to cause
a harmful delay in action essential
to establishing the Assembly on firm
foundations as the all-inclusive par
liamentary organ of the U. N.-the
one agency in which the smaller
powers have full freedom to let their
voices be heard in the world.
Accordingly, if there is to be a
postponement, the shorter it is the
better. In the sense that the United
Nations as whole will have a
chance to dig its roots in deeper that
much sooner. the Assembly should
be hampered by as few delays as
possible In getting on with Its vital
work. Actually, though 1t might
