EINSTEIN OFF BASE

We read that DIR. Albert
Einstein, speaking in Chi
cago, said that "an agree
ment on a grand scale" with
Russia is necessary for the
future peace of the world,
but that the United States
has been travelling in the
opposite direction since the
end of the war.
The press dispatch did
not quote the renowned
scientist in connection with
his opinion of the direction
Russia has been travelling.
Apparently, he a u m e S,
along with many other
Americans, that "an agree
ment on a grand scale" can
be had for the asking and
that if it is not Immediately
inflated, the entire fault is
with the United States Gov
eminent.
While we are as anxious
as anyone else for some
thing like a cordial APP
proachment between the
United States and the Soviet
Union, we are frank to ad-
NIT that we do not see how
the United States can be eX-
pected to accomplish this re-
suit unless the Russians are
willing to cooperate.
So far, there has been lit
tie evidence from Moscow
that the Russians are ready
to coordinate their inter-
national affairs. The impress
sion prevails, and we think
Justly, that the Kremlin is
out to get what Russia
wants and only when this is
obtained, or it becomes posi-
lively clear that the goal
cannot be attained, will the
Russians enter into agree
ments with their Western
Allies.

JUDGES ARE STILL
HUMAN

Those persons who think
or thought that a halo de-
sends on a man just as soon
as he becomes a judge
probably were shocked by
the disclosure of the feud
in the supreme court of the
United States.
Politics, in the sense that
some supreme court JUS
tees are swayed by party
affiliations, cropped up in
the supreme court many
times during the Roosevelt
administration. When he
came into office, a majority
of the justices was Republi-
can, and, with an occasional
exception, notably in the
United States bond case, in
which the plaintiff insisted
he be paid in gold in the re-
demption of bonds, the vote
showed the political COM
plexion of the court.
Gradually, members of
the court died or retired,
and, by the time Roosevelt
had entered his second
term, the standing of the
court was pro-New Deal.
Readers of The Citizen who
followed the courts deci-
sions may recall the frequent
five-four decisions.
But that attitude was
tame in comparison with the
present flare up between
Justices Robert H. Jackson
and Hugo Black. Jackson
maintains that Black had
been unethical in not dis
qualifying himself in a case
in which a former law part
ner was chief counsel for
litigants.
jackson is right in his
view, but, in making the at
tack. he revealed that he
was peeved because he had
not been named chief justice
! to succeed the late Harlan
Stone. Jackson spoke about
a promise to make him chief
| Justice he had received from
the late President Roosevelt,
and in Washington it de-
veloped that Black had
threatened to resign were
Jackson named as the pre-
siding head of the court.
So there you have it: not
only politics but ambition
also, aside from the ambl'
ton to become an efficient
Judge, creep into the dignl:
fled supreme court. Had
Jackson not said what mo-
tive had prompted him tc
attack Black, official Wash
ington would have wonder
ed, and, in won ID e RI n g
would have advanced a doz-
en- conjectures. But Jackson
barred his motive, as we'll as
his resentment, when he
spoke about his ambition to
become chief justice.
He had known about the
! Black incident ever since
May of 1916, so it was asked
in Washington why he had
waited a year before max
ing his charge. The answer
is he had expected to be
made chief justice. Would
he still have made the at
! tack had he received the

No Report Cards?

Ordinarily the weighty delibera-
tions of the National Education As
ISOLATION are of little or no concern
to the average pupil of elementary
or high school. What with semester
exams staring him in the face, the
baseball season under way and GER
tain coed problems to worry about,
he finds it difficult to muster up
much interest in new methods of
measuring the intelligence quotient
OF subnormal pupils or means for
raising teaching standards in rural
areas. But the NEA has exploded a
bomb in educational circles that
should jolt even the most lethargic
student from his Spring-fever rev.
cries. Its Educational Policies Com
mission has come forward with a
proposal to do away with (get hold
OF yourselves, children) the tradi-
tional report card.
There is no need to take a poll of
school children on this subject.
Nothing could be more foregone than
the conclusion that the no-report
plan would meet with almost unani-
nous acclaim in every classroom
There are always a few pupils in
every school, of course, whose marks
are such that they have no hesita-
ton in presenting their report cards
to their parents. They are in class
by themselves, however. The great
majority of students receive their
cards with fear and trepidation.
Usually one brief glimpse is enough
to convince them that life is just
one report after another, the sole
purpose of each being to fray pa
rental tempers and otherwise to
upset the even tenor of domestic
tranquility. No report cards would
mean no parental wrath and hence
no student worries.
That is, if the NEA would let good
enough alone. But those educators,
always full of advanced ideas, do not
propose to leave the parents wholly
uninformed about goings on in the
classroom. AS substitute for report
cards, the NEA suggests friendly
little face-to-face chats between
parents and teachers, during which
many things would be discussed
including academic standing and
department of the respective pupils.
That face-to-face business is what
many students long since have
sought to avoid. It could have en-
barrassing repercussions. Maybe the
report-card system is better, after
all. 1t has the virtue, at least, of
keeping teachers and parents at a
respectful distance. Under either
plan, it looks as though the students.
as always, are doomed to be in the
middle.

To be sure, the starvation of Europe Is
partly the result of war, but is even more
the result OF insane economic policies
and mad natlonalism. The shifting of
frontiers; the expelling of populations;
lano reforms which violate all agricul-
tural experience; East-European govern
mentS which have no power of free
action: struggles between Allied powers
radical deindustrialization measures
which destroy the economic balance and
prevent the manufacture of the ma
chimes urgently needed on the land;
wholesale looting of livestock and agri-
cultural implements by the Russians;
creation in Europe of new closed eco
nomies-these policies have brought
and will continue to bring, the inevitable
harvest OF starvation or near starvation
resulting in decreased work energy ano
fall in food production which will be
cumulative.
Mr.. Hoover reports that the worst
food situation Is in Poland and Yugo-
slavia. This is despite the fact that
Poland has inherited the great grain
lands Of German Silesia. But these
lands have been seized and broken up
In an unmethodical manner. The in
disenous land population has been
driven of the soil; last years crop was
not even harvested. so there is grain
and potatoes neither for the Germans
nor the Poles.
Similar prosecutions of populations
have had the same result in Yugo-
slavia and Czechosle<akia. The former

apparently Yugoslav youth are spend

Armies are fed, they do not feed others.
Germany was, and could be, IS per
cent self-sufflcient in food, at a high
standard of diet-but there is no Ger

mics. Hungary was a great food-eX.
porting nation, but the citizens of Buda.
pest are starving. This is not just the
result of the war; it is the result of
Allied policies.
America can and must pull in her
belt, but as long as politicians and peo-
pies give first priority to hatred and re-
venge, and insist on continuing the war
against political minorities, social
classes and defeated peoples, they will
have to pay the price, which will be
poverty, wretchedness and hunger, and
we shall be pouring food into a sieve.
The whole peace" is a mockery of
nature and a defiance Of natural law.
And nature, though disinterested, takes
her revenge.

Chinese Reds Accuse Us

The charge printed in Chinese
Communist newspapers that one or
more American planes strafed Com
munist troop concentrations in Man
churia comes on top of what looks
like concerted propaganda cam
paign directed against America in
the Chinese Communist press which
began about fortnight ago and
conceded with the rupture of the
Communist Kuomintang arrange
ment over Manchuria and the out
break OF large-scale fighting there
between soldiers of the two factions.
This is reminiscent of a similar
anti = American Communist press
campaign that started last autumn
and was suddenly halted just before
the arrival of General George C..
Marshall in Chungking for his con-
ferences with the leaders Of the
Communists and the central govern
ment. The Communists then objected
to any aid given by us to the central
government, and they made the
same charges of American airplanes
firing on Communist troops, which
charges were subsequently investi-
gated and found to be wholly untrue.
The present charge has been cate
gorically denied by a Chinese gov
ernment military spokesman, and it
does not square with the known facts
regarding the disposition of Ameri-
can air forces in China. 1t has been
characteristic of both factions in
China to make loose accusations,
though the Communists seem to
have been more reckless in this
respect.
What the Communists seem to be
aiming at in this new propaganda
barrage is to bring pressure on
American policy at this critical time
when the Communists, in violation
of the truce agreement with the
central government, are taking Of
fensive military action in Manchuria
to dispute the occupation of that re-
gion by central government troops
and civilian officials. Such action is
likewise in contravention of the
agreement made between the Chi
nese and Soviet governments, under
which the Soviet forces in Manchuria
were to turn over the evacuated
areas to the Chinese government.
The Communists are thus injecting
themselves into a situation to which
they were not legally party. How
ever, they have never reconciled
themselves to this and are seeking
to compel recognition of new status
for themselves by forceful means.

Letters to The Star
Sees DANGER From Communism,
.;-~ -,

|
Not 5''Dead" Fascism
| To the Editor Of The Star:
What exactly do the Russian journal
lists, now on special visit in this coun-
try. mean by their dramatic warning
against fascism?
Italy, Germany and Japan, the lead
ing exponents of fascism, no longer
are to be feared. To accuse poor Spain,
| exhausted by disastrous civil war, of
being world menace is manifestly
absurd.
Where, then, are these Fascist enc
mics of mankind? The truth Is that
they do not exist. And they do not ex-
ist because there no longer is such a
thing as fascism.
There are number of totalitarian
relationships throughout the world, in
cluding Russia and certain countries in
Latin America. But this is nothing new
in political government. 1t certainly
cannot be defined as fascism in the
same sense as communism, which has
political and economic philosophy of
its own.
Why then are we urged by our Rus
sian friends to center our attention on
straw bogey? Is it not significant
that they denounce as enemies all peo-
pie who oppose them, including re
actionaries,' Capitalists" Imperial
ists," as we'll as "Fascists'? Premier
Stain recently has been quite outspok-
en- on the subject in his justification
of the expanded program for re-arma-
ment.
This special propaganda at this criti-
cal juncture in international relations
would seem intended to distract our at
tention from the aggressive foreign pol
icy of the Soviet Union. Like naive
children We are to be diverted from
these brutal facts, namely: The loss of
independence by the Baltic states, the
strangulation of Austria, Hungary,
Romania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, AL
bania and Iran; the threats against in
trigues in Germany, France, Spain and,
now it is to be feared, Japan.
The justification of this foreign pol
icy cannot be security. No nation bor-
dering on Russia can be considered q
menace to its safety. The purpose now
as ever, is to spread communism
throughout the whole world II the
Third Internationale ever was honor
ably inferred, it certainly is a most live
ly ghost even in certain countries of
Latin America
Appalling misery now prevalent in
many lands affords a perfect opportun-
ity for the creation of discomfort and
revolutionary radicalism. The Com
munists always have subscribed to the
sinister doctrine Of "the acceleration of
human misery"
In our desire to understand Rus
sia" and to collaborate for internation-
al peace, we Americans should guard
against such misleading and dangerous
counsels as this outcry about fascism.
We can be friends of the Russian peo-
pie but need not be blind to the menace
OF aggressive communism.

One Thinq at q Time

Dismissal of Howard B. Gill. sus-
pended superintendent of penal in
stltutions, should clear the way for
quick agreement between the Board
OF Public Welfare and the Commits
sloners on selection of a successor,
possibly loaned by the Department
of Justice. who will serve until es-
tablishment of new department Of
corrections.
The lawyers at the District Build
Ing have advised the Commissioners
however, that the Board of Public
Welfare cannot voluntarily divest it
self of administrative responsibility
over penal institutions, as recon-
mended in the Hebert report. That
can only be done by legislation.
The Commissioners are therefore
proceeding to rewrite their original
bill stripping the Board of Public
Welfare of all it's administrative re-
sponsibilities, and amending it to
establish a District department of
corrections and a department of
public welfare, both under the Com
misSioners.
The most important need now is
the legislation setting up a local
department of corrections. The
Commissioners might be wise if
they concentrated their efforts on
getting such legislation approved
before Congress quits for the sum-
mer. In the meantime, utilizing any
helpful suggestions which may result
from the current survey of welfare
work by the Council of Social
Agencies, additional legislation could
be prepared which would define the
future status of the Board of Public
Welfare in fields other than prisons
and correctional institutions.
There is general recognition at
this time of the desirability of es-
tablishing department of correc-
tions, with the responsibility for its
administration placed with the Com
missioners. Necessary legislation
would not be difficult to obtain. But
If it is tied up with legislation to
strip the Board of Public Welfare
of all its powers in the field of public
welfare as well as prisons there
may be delay.
If we are to abandon completely
the original conceptions of public
welfare administration which gave
the Board of Public Welfare it's pres
ent duties and powers, we want to
be sure that the substitutions are
sound from every reasonable point
of view. And this subject is i'm
portant enough to deserve more
study and discussion than can be
given it in the time remaining before
Congress- receSSes
