Our Unbalanced BUDGET

Two influential citizens organiza-
tions-the Board of Trade and the
Federation of Citizens Associations
are advising the Commissioners
not to go in the red with the budget
they submit to Congress in January.
They suggested, in testimony at
the budget hearings yesterday, that
1t might be done this way: Limit
the budget recommendations to
maintenance and operation items
II necessary, which ought to bring
the budget within revenues known
to be available; then see what Con-
gress proposes in the way of addi-
tional revenue sources to finance
program of capital expenditures.
Some such method is to be pre-
ferred to the somewhat reckless pro-
cedure which has been under con-
sideration at the District Building.
That procedure would be to send to
Congress an unbalanced local
budget, accompanied by the local
tax legislation required to put it in
balance.
The Commissioners most assuredly
should not initiate local tax legisla-
tion at this time. If they propose
any revenue-raising legislation, it
should take the form of legislation
committing Congress to a fixed and
definite policy of matching, in some
proportion and by some formula,
Federal dollars with local tax dollars.
In opening the budget hearings
yesterday, Commissioner Young re-
ferred to the serious financial
problem" facing the District. But
that problem is not due to any
evasion of full tax obligations by
those in Washington who pay taxes.
It is due to the evasion of the Ma
tional Governments own financial
obligation to Washington, plus
scarcity, created by widespread tax
exemptions, of local taxpayers. This
problem is not to be solved merely
by soaking the local taxpayer again.

On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

Now that the Nazi leaders have
swung from the gallows, and Goering has
taken the hemlock, thereby Joining his
q final triumph under all the circum-
stances-we cannot escape queasy ap-
prehension that what has happened is
not justice. but lynching. remembering
that lynching Is not justice even when
the victims are not innocent.
Perhaps the best comment on the
trials was made back in 1943 by E. B.
White, that witty and lucid moralist of
the New Yorker, whose originally anon
ymous essays in behalf of world law
have been published in most COM
mendable little book. "The Wild Flag"
Speaking. not of German, but OF
Japanese crimes, Mr.. White said:
During the great storm which broke
following the Jap executions Of Ameri-
can flyers, two phrases were heard
the Japs had violated military
law and would be brought to Justice
1t is time now for remembering that
such phrases are false, such words
dangerous, when misused. The 6aps
violated no law, and their leaders will
not be brought to justice. though they
will be brought to something else
The laws of warfare are . merely
set Of rules for quarreling which any
nation can disregard if it chooses. When
war comes, each nation makes its own
rules =. When at last Japan is
punished, as she will be, the
act of Furnishing will not be justice. To
call 1t justice is to do ourselves dis
service because it defects attention
from the terrible spectacle OF world
without law
There is a sharp need for definitions
In the words of Saroyan's bar
fly, there is no foundation all down
the line Nothing Is more frightening
than to hear what is not law called
law. and what is not justice called
Justice"
II what has been retroactively de-
clared to be law in the case of the
Nuremberg defendants is to become law,
the next thing for the Nuremberg tri-
bunal to do is to call upon the United
Nations to declare that the crimes
charged against the Nazis are hence
forward crimes wherever and by whom
soever committed. The next thing for
the United Nations to do is to legislaue
a new law of nations containing, on the
Evening star., 1946-10-18

basis of the Nuremberg trials, most care
full definitions OF what is prohibited to
states and persons in the service of
states. and to create a supreme court
of nations, before which breaches of the
law may be prosecuted and an inter-
national police force to enforce the
judgments of that court
That, of course, means the beginning
of world state, for it involves the re-
linquishing of the basic principle of ma
tional sovereignty, which is the right to
live outside any law except the nations
own
Yet. the essence of justice-and no
honest man can get away from this
is that those who make, prosecute
judge and punish must accept and live
under the rules they enforce, and if
they refuse to do so, there is no justice,
there is only force. And if the law is
not now created, then the lesson of the
Nuremberg trials is that any victorious
state Tor victorious political party may
dispose of its enemies however it pleases,
which does not lead us into law and
justice. but backward to the pre-
Christian era and the practices of pagan
antiquity.
According to Justice Jackson's highly
philosophical report to the President,
the proceedings at Nuremberg were to
establish jurisdiction under interna-
tional law to call to account, as crimi-
mails, breakers of peace and the laws of
humanity" actually. at the time, non
existent as laws.
This. which is highly desirable in
principle, has, in procedure, been un-
fortunately contrary to accepted and
unalterable standards OF justice. This
fact will overshadow the whole issue
and compromise the very underlying
idea, unless further steps are taken to
embody it in an institutional frame
work.
Otherwise, the principles advanced by
the United States cannot be regarded
as more than a sham "legalization" to
cover much less lofty motives; and the
Nuremberg trials, instead of opening
new epoch of humanistic international
law, will open an epoch of lawlessness
and arbitrary peoples tribunals" in
which no mans head will be safe from
the moose, and in which the forms and
concepts of Nazi and other totalitarian
and usurpational justice" will, in fact.
have been confirmed.
