ton of the traditional pattern,
which consisted of wealthy ruling
class, chiefly big landholderS, and
a backward tenant peasantry. Two
new social classes are appearing, a
rapidly swelling industrial working
proletariat in the cities and an
aspiring professional middle class.
Other elements in the picture are
the large foreign colonies, especially
the Greeks and Italians, who monop-
olize much of the trade and COM
merce and who until recently were
protected in a privileged alien status
by the so-called "capitulations," or
extra territorial legal rights.
Until now much of Egypt's latent
discomfort was canalized into patri-
otic agitation directed against
Britain. But with the approach of
full emancipation from foreign
tutelage, nationalist slogans begin
to fall fiat and economic and social
grievances come automatically to
the fore. 1t is this change which
Communist propaganda appears to
be exploiting. How the government
proposes to deal with it beyond
forceful repression remains to be
seen,

Airport Cob Rates

Abandonment by the District
Public Utilities Commission of its
control over taxicab rates to the
National Airport, the Pentagon ano
other points in nearby Virginia to
which it had extended its jurisdic-
ton leaves the public holding the
bag. TaXicab rates to those points
automatically become a matter for
determination by the cab lines or
individual drivers concerned, which
means, of course, that the passenger
will have no protection whatever
against exorbitant charges by those
who care to take unfair advantage
of the situation.
The PUG decision is the outgroWth
Of the settlement by Congress of the
long controversy between Virginia
and the District over boundary lines
in the filled-in areas across the
Potomac River where the airport
and the network of approaches to
the Pentagon were built. The Dis
trict for years laid claim to all the
territory extending to what once
was the high water mark on the
Virginia shore. This line ran far
inland in some places, due to drain
ing and filling in of marshes The
Boundary Act of october 81, l945,
while establishing Federal jurisdic-
ton over the airport, held that the
airport, the Pentagon and other
Federal works in the disputed area
were within the Virginia boundary.
The Corporation Counsel cited this
act as foreclosing further efforts by
the PUG to regulate taxicab service
to the area.
1t is unthinkable that the state
of affairs thus created should be
permitted to continue without re-
medal action. The Corporation
Counsel has indicated that the area
properly is under jurisdiction of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
The commission was given control
over motor carriers by special law
passed in 1885 and while this con-
troll has been exercised principally
with respect to interstate buses and
trucks, it might be stretched to cover
taxicabs. If this cannot be done
under existing authority, the next
Congress should see that the au-
thority is provided. Meanwhile, the
taxicab patrons would do we'll to
follow PUG Chairman Flanagan's S
advice that they make an agreement
with cab drivers on the fare to be
paid before starting on a trip to the
airport or other destination in the
unregulated zones across the river.

Here again, though, there is room

when 1t is remembered that it COM

Mr.. Shuw's Miracle

Bernard Shaw, celebrating his
ninetieth birthday, well may already
have set a record for productive
literary enterprise in terms of years
as well as in other ways. Beginning
to write for publication in 1875 when
he was only eighteen, he now has to
his credit more than seven complete
decades of successful endeavor. His
nearest rival in this respect would
seem to be the celebrated positivist
philosopher Frederic Harrison, who
practiced the art of letters continu-
ously from 1853 until shortly before
his death in 1928.
The generality of authors, how
ever, are relatively shortlived-at
least so far as the creative aspect
of their careers is concerned.
Thomas Hardy, it is true, reached SO
and was busy up to near the last.
Thomas Carlyle and Robert Bridges
saw SO, but both had slowed down
considerably toward the end. The
same observation applies to Lord
Tennyson at 80, George Meredith at
81 and William Wordsworth at 80.
Much more tragic was the case of
John Ruskin, who ceased to work
in 1885 yet languished in pathetic
retirement until 19O0-81 years of
breathing but only 66 years of con-
scious living.
Literary lions who passed the
biblical standard of three score and
ten in more or less active perform
ance included Daniel Defoe, who
attained an even 10; Geoffrey Chau-
Ger, Algernon Charles Swinburne
and Gilbert K. Chesterton, all of
whom achieved 72; Thomas De
Quincy, "a; DR.. Samuel Johnson,
rs, and Robert Browning and Sir
James Matthew Barrie, both IT.
Dean Swift died at 78 and Rudyard
Kipling at II, but they had done
nothing notable in their sunset days.
Among the writing folk who finished
their courses in the sixties were Sir
Walter Scott and George Eliot, 81;
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, 81; Ben
Jonson, 50; Francis Bacon and
Richard Brinsley Sheridan, IS; John
Milton and John Galsworthy, Sc;
John Dryden, William Cowper,
Robert Southey and Sir H. Rider
Haggard, all SO.
But the record thus set forth may
be deceptive. Shakespeare, the
greatest of British writer's, was fin
ished at So; Henry Fielding and
Joseph Addison at At, Oliver Gold
smith 46, Robert Louis Stevenson

At Dover, Del, so years ago 1t was
a dangerous business openly to advocate
the relatively mild and
SinoIe Tox unprovocative doctrines Of
Mortyrs Henry George. Persons
speaking in behalf of the
single tax idea were in danger of being
arrested for disturbing the peace"
According to The Star for August l, 1896,
Is of them, indeed, were incarcerated
in the lookup for violating an ancient
ordinance against NOISY assemblages or
gatherings in the streets, squares,
lanes, alleys or other places within the
limits of said town." The potential
martyrs to free speech of the Georgian
variety included DR.. D. F. Longstreet,
lecturer; Arthur H. Stephenson, mer-
chant; Charles A. Brothers, teacher:
Victor Durand, farmer; Rev. August
Dellgren, minister; Frederick w. Moore,
printer, and Joseph w. Gross, barber.
But the Dover police and the Dover
magistrates and Doverites generally
relented. Nobody was burned at the
stake. II it had been otherwise, the

refuge and underneath are the ever
lasting arms How did he ever
think he could never sing them
again?
Not only did he discover that peo-
pie were the same in this far away
land; the same in their joys, their
sorrows, their heartaches and long
ings, but: THE earth was the Lords
and the fullness thereof" True, there
were no hills Of home-he could not
lift his eyes to some distant hill and
sing: II will lift up mine eyes unto
the hills, from whence cometh my
help" But now outside the city of
Babylon the sun Is down and the
stars are out in all their glory, so
in spite Of himself he is singing. We
have recorded the song: "The heav-
ems declare the glory Of God and
the armament showeth his handi-
work-day unto day uttereth speech
and night unto night showeth
knowledge"
Not only were people alike and the
earth was good. but God, his God,
was there, too-no longer tribal
God, no longer a God circumscribed
by boundary limitations. He was a
God of all the earth, a God who
could be found and worshiped even
in Babylon. So, he is singing again:
whittier shall go from thy spirit?
Or whittier shall 7 flee from thy
presence? If I ascend up into
heaven, Thou art there: If I make
my bed in hell, behold, Thou art
there. If I take the wings of the
morning, and dwell in the uttermost
parts of the sea, even there shall
Thy hand lead me, and Thy right
hand shall hold me-"
Why was it that back at home 1t
was so easy to sing? We belonged
to the community, we were at home
in 1t, we felt safe and secure in
familiar surroundings. Now we are
in big cities, customs are different,
temptations are ever before us. Have
we been telling ourselves that the
reason we have lowered our moral
standards, the reason we have quit
singing the Lords song Is because we
do not feel at home and no one really
cares what happens? If that is true,
let's open our eyes. These strangers
are not strangers at all. They are
lonely; Just little frightened, too.
They need us; they care. Why, they
even love us! Let's go to the concert
together: let's share cur apartment!
Why, we even belong to the same
church! Isn't it wonderful to sing
the Lords song?

The 18th Conuress

ering the closing stages of the
worlds greatest war and almost a
year of troubled peace, the Seventy
ninth Congress has adjourned sine
die and its members have hurried
homeward, most of them to await
the verdict which their constituents
will return in November.
The going was rough for the
Seventy-ninth Congress, and it
served as the target of far more
criticism than praise STILL on the
record Of its whole session. it
can justly lay claim to creditable
| performance.
This is especially true Of its han
ding of the international issues
which came before it. AS q result
of decisions taken by this Congress
the United States has moved well
out into the stream of world affairs,
| and it seems unlikely that there will
be any turning back. Such things
as the votes for participation in the
United Nations, extension of the
British loan and acceptance of COM
pulsory jurisdiction of the World
Court in international disputes are
persuasive evidence that most of the
members of the Seventy-ninth Con-
greSS recognized the need to commit
the United States to the responsible
tiles it must assume as a great
power.
In some respects, however, where
domestic political considerations in
tervened, the Congress refused to
provide adequate measures for the
proper discharge of national re-
SponSlbilltleS. One instance of this
was the shameful political COM
promise on the draft. Another was
the fiat refusal to do anything about
compulsory military training. And
it is all too clear that this putting
of personal political considerations
ahead of national interests has
gravely handicapped Secretary of
State Byrnes and his associates in
their efforts to secure a real peace
settlement.
On purely domestic issues, the
record of the old Congress was good
or bad, depending on ones own
political and economic philosophy.
Many, if not most of the domestic
measures advocated by the Presi-
dent were rejected by the Congress,
and of those enacted some were so
Watered down as to bear little re-
Semblance to the original proposals.
Neither did the Congress do any,
thing constructive with respect to
labor legislation, the Presidents
proposal for study of the problem.
following his veto of the Case bill,
having fallen by the wayside in the
closing days of the session.
1t is manifest, however, that the
Seventy-ninth was not a rubber
stamp" Congress, and the presump-
ton is that the members did what
they thought a majority of their
constituents would want them to do.
Whether they guessed right or
wrong will be revealed by the num-

Strategic Arctic

Further evidence of the growing
Importance given the Arctic regions
on military maps of those who have
the grave responsibility of planning
| future strategy is to be had in the
Army Air Forces announcement of
arrangements for extensive cold
weather maneuverS from Alaskan
bases. Aircraft, guided missiles,
detection devices and other equip
ment are being assembled at Ladd
Field, Fairbanks, it is disclosed. Men
and equipment will be subjected to
rigorous ordeals late this summer
and during the winter, with a view
to mastering the air routes across
the top of the world.
Before World War II the frigid
North Polar area was considered to
be an effective bulwark against at
tack from the North, but the amaz-
ing development of long-range
bombers, of guided missiles and of
rockets - all capable of carrying
atomic bombs over great distances
has made it plain that the Arctic
no longer is a defensive barrier. On
the contrary, as General Arnold,
former commander of the AAF, has
pointed out, the Arctic regions offer
an inviting short-route path for
aerial invaders. With the perfection
OF 1O,000-mile bombers, the polar
pathway brings most of Europe's,
Asia's and Americas important in
dustrial centers within range of
bases located near the Arctic Circle.
This means that in planning fu-
ture security our high command
must consider not only the possibil-
ity but the probability of atomic
attack by way of the polar cap. This
IS a problem that concerns our
northern neighbor. Canada, too. 1t
is but natural that Canada and the
United States should work together
on solving the mutual defense prob
lem involved. 1t may be expected,
therefore, that the rolling up" of
wartime bases already begun in the
Pacific will not affect our northern
outposts. Rather, they probably will
be multiplied and strengthened, in
recognition of the vital strategic
position which they would occupy
If war should come again to the
American continent
