Russian Strategic Reasoning
+: By Georee FieIdine Eliot

The strategic considerations which
underlie Russian policy toward Iran
and Turkey are worth examining. They
are probably much more important
factors in Russian reasoning than the
chances Of finding oil in Northern Iran.
The Russian leaders are obsessed with
the idea Of security for Russian from
tiers. They are well aware that they
have very little long-range air power,
and very little naval power. They are
well aware that it is these two types
of powers which make up the bulk of
the fighting strength of the United
States and Great Britain-Which are
the only other nations possessing any
military resources worth immediate So
Wet consideration. They are likewise
well aware that these two types of pow
er are of long reach and great mobility.
Finally, the internal communications
of Russia are poor, and grow poorer
the farther one gets away from the
central area of Russian power. Around
the vast fringes of the Russian land
mass, there are good many places
where American and British sea and
air power could produce concentrations
of strength much more rapidly than
Russian land power could be concen-
trated to meet it. This fact makes the
Russians nervous about such parts of
their frontiers. The total inability of
the Germans and the Japanese to meet
and deal with unsupported amphibious
concentrations has not been lost on the
Russians. The answer which they seek
is more space in front of important
strategic areas in order to gain time for
counter-c concentrations.

One may, of course, point out that
such defensive arrangements are rather
out of date. and rapidly becoming more
so with the development of new air.
borne weapons. But as long as they
seem important to the Russians, they
will continue to affect Russian policy.
So considered, the Russian frontiers
with Turkey and Iran are obvious soft
spots" The reason is the great Cau-
casus range Of mountains. This range
strikes right across from the Black Sea-
to the Caspian, great and virtually

peradoes like those In death row."
This is no job for mediocre officers.
1t Is to be hoped that the Attorney
General will go into the whole mat
ter of jail administration, from top
to bottom, with a view not only to
fixing responsibility for the recent
series of breaks, but to reorganizing
the setup as necessary. And it is as
sumed that he. like many OF his
predecessors, will take note of the
deficiencies of the plant itself and
use his influence to have them
corrected.

Suppressing the Evidence

ms subcommittee winch prepared
this year's District appropriation bill,
on the basis of more than a thousand
pages of testimony, devoted gener-
Gus portion of its report to discus
sion of the inadequacy of the $6,000,-
600 lump-sum payment.
1T is becoming more evident each
year." the report said, that the $6,-
100000 Federal contribution, which
in fiscal year 1946 amounted to only
9.28 per cent of the total appropria-
tions, is not fair proportion of the
expenditures required to provide and
maintain on an appropriate and ex-
panding scale local government in
the District" That statement was
supported by statistical illustration
of the diminishing area of taxable
property in the District and a listing
of purely Federal functions financed
by the local taxpayer.
The full House Appropriations
Committee ordered all such refer
ences to the inadequacy of the Fed
eral payment stricken from the re-
port. The report which accompanies
the bill to the House will not con-
tain them. In other words. the evi-
dence relating to unfair dealings
with the local taxpayer is suppressed.
This is not merely intolerant and
despotic. 1t renders almost hopeless
any opportunity for the unrepre-
sented people of Washington to have
their case presented fairly to the
members of the House.
Without a consideration of the
Federal payment, the picture of the
Districts financial condition is dis
torted. That financial condition ex-
plains the decisions of sympathetic
subcommittee to cut nearly SO 900 900
out of the items approved by the
Commissioners and the Budget Bu-
reau. Most of the cuts take the form
of postponing construction projects,
among them branch libraries, school
buildings, new Home for the Aged
and the new Children's Receiving
Home.
The postponement is rationalized,
to some extent, by the curbs on con-
struction ordered to stimulate vet
erans' housing and the inflated con-
struction costs which handicap &C
ceptance of bids. But the postpone
ment of authorized construction also
represents a method of obtaining
revenue to meet other costs of the
District government and it dodges
an issue which will be met only by
fair and square division OF costs
between the local taxpayer and the
exclusively controlling National Gov
ernment.
The action Of the Appropriations
Committee in suppressing the evi-
dence relating to the need for this
fair and square division is a dis
creditable performance. 1t must
have been humiliating to the sub
committee which considered the Dis
trict bill and endeavored to do an
honest lob

Closer Parking Advocated

To the Editor Of The Star:
I am one of the persons who drives
my car to work and engages In the
sport of hunting for parking space.
What gripes me more than anything is
to see good space going to waste that
cannot be used. I refer to the excess
space between cars, the excess space
around fire plugs and stop signs We
all tend to be on the very safe side as
regards distance from fire plugs and
stop signs.
Personally, think it would be good
idea if the street were painted with
lines to outline where a person could
park. OF course, by parking cars closer
together there would be few more
scraped tenders, but honestly believe
that it would add S to 10 per cent more
parking space. w. GORDON LEITH.

China and Philippine Security

To the Editor Of The Star:
China Is going to have a navy greater
than she ever had in all her history.
With the Japanese navy at the bottom
Of the sea, the Chinese Navy will ride
the Orient waves.
On March IL last the House passed a
bill Oh. r. 5356) authorizing the Presi-
dent to transfer to China not more than
271 naval craft, with the proviso that
the consent Of Congress must first be
obtained before battleship, plane car
rier, cruiser. destroyer (not escort) or
submarine could be transferred. In an
extraordinary gesture, the British gov
ernment also is Offering China battle
ship and several cruisers. Probably
knowing that they may prove to be
white elephants, China nevertheless is
expected to accept the gifts.
But the Philippine republic is offered
no naval presents on its birtlv on July
4, 1916. The prospective Chinese Navy
would be highly disturbing to the new
republic if it were not for the two fol-
lowing considerations: G) The possible
naturalization of the new nation at the
instance of the United States and (2)
the erection on Philippine territory Of
a formidable American military estab-
lishment. t-
Section II of the Act of Congress of
March "a, 1884, reads: THE President
of the United States is requested, at the
earliest practicable date, to enter into
negotiations with foreign powers with a
view to the naturalization of the Philip
pine Islands, If and when Philippine
independence shall have been achieved"
Such naturalization sponsored by the
United States and joined in by Britain,
Russia and China would be effective
in maintaining the international secur-
ity of the newborn republic The au-
thority to negotiate a naturalization
treaty is only permissive, not mandatory,
on the President but 1t is meet that he
proclaim whether he will or will not
negotiate treaty.
Naturalization might be considered
as incompatible with the idea contem-
plated in the resolution OF Congress No.
"a, dated June 10. 1914, of an American
military establishment in the Philip
pines after its independence is achieved.
1t might be alleged that the Philippines,
by consenting to have that establish
ment on its territory, has given up its
international neutrality and thus allied
itself militarily with the United States.
In other words, the militarization Of the
Philippines by the United States pre-
cludes it's naturalization as unnecessary
and even incongruous.
What the Philippines needs which the
United States can supply is not a navy
but feet of suitable vessels to be used
to enforce the customs laws, suppress
piracy, prevent smuggling and patrol
the coasts. The American Government
already has decided to increase from
10000 to $4,000 men the size of the Fill
pino Scouts organization, part of the
United States Army, that in time partly
will man the American military estab-
lishments to be built in the Philippines.

Letters to The Star
Robby Ayres' Death Prompts

To the Editor Of The Star:
AS read OF the accidental death Of
little Robby Ayres, become physically
ILL., for have three children who each
afternoon also crowd around the Good
Humor truck. Time and again, even on
the relatively secluded street on which
we live, have seen autoists whizzing
by, unmindful of the half a dozen or
more children playing on the sidewalks
although any one of the children care
lessly might run into the street on the
slightest provocation or on no provoca-
ton at all.
To me, father, these autoists-many
of whom also likely are fathers-are
criminally careless If they go over Is
miles an hour through suburban streets
which are not broad avenues and OBJ
viously are filled with houses, making
visibility poor at corners. What can be
wrong with companies which allow men
who drive their delivery trucks to speed
up from just starting position and
rush, like mad, then put on brakes and
stop half block away to service some
oIlS else! Is I'll tfle IlIIle SdVeQ worm
the life of one child?
Just looking at the problem from an
academic standpoint, not many persons
can become excited. But we parents
together with newspaper editors and
other responsible persons in the city
ought to stay excited about carelessness.
Knowing, as I do, how much time,
money, effort, love and affection the
father of Bobby Ayres already had spent
on the boy who now is dead, I realize
fully what an investment the city and
the Nation have lost when any single
healthy child is killed in the twinkling
of an eye. Your newspaper and every
newspaper ought to feature appeals to
safety and good driving all the time.
1t is q tragedy that our people can be
so intelligent In some directions and
so stupidity careless in others. A child
killed by carelessness, either on his part
or any one elses, is just as lost as one
who is killed deliberately. FATHER.

Ohio State University says that a
survey extending through a per-
iod of 10 years has shown that
much of the winter loss of bees in
Ohio is due to inadequate stores,
in other words to starvation.
He urges beekeepers to check
the honey stored in their hives, and
if it is found to be low, he recon-
mendS supplementing it with sugar
syrup or honey from other colonies
that have an abundance. On ac-
count of the Qnfavorable weather
this fall bees have not had the OPP
portunity of gathering and storing
honey advantageously, making this
fall checking more important than
usual.
The amount and position of
stores are the key points to be
carefully checked, says DR.. Dun

have at least eight solid frames of
honey; a story and a half hive,
