Proof of the Pudding

Commissioner Young, calling on
the President to discuss local af-
fairs, brings out the word that the
President is sympathetically con-
scious of the Districts poor financial
condition and favors the O'Mahoney
formula as one method of remedy.
The President has expressed the
same thought before. The question
is whether the Commissioners have
been able to persuade the President
and the Budget Bureau to do any
thing about this condition-beyond
expressing some interest in 1t.
That will be revealed when the
voteless local taxpayers are &C
quainted this week or next with the
budget and the Presidents accom-
panying budget message. The Dis
trict's budget will doubtless recon-
mend the expenditure of more
money than is now available. In
other words, it will be an unbalanced
budget, showing prospective deficit
unless means are found to raise
additional revenue.
The Commissioners have prepared
a local tax program. But II the Com
missioners have permitted them
selves to be hornsWoggled by the
Budget Bureau into proposing that
the entire deficit be made up out OF
new and higher local taxes, they
have not done a good job for them
selves or for the taxpayers of Wash
ington. The keystone of any local
revenue-raising program should be
an increase in the national pay
ment, and the O'Mahoney formula,
presented as legislation in the last
Congress, offers a fair and reason
able method of measuring precisely
the amount of the increase. Any
local tax increase which is not &C
coMpanied by an increase in the
Federal share of Capital City ex-
pense is unjust.
The appropriate place to present
the full picture of the Districts
financial condition is in the Presi-
dents message on the budget. 1t
is to be hoped that the President
will recommend the O'Mahoney
formula, or something like it, as an
essential part of any program to
raise local revenue. If local tax in
creases alone are depended on to
balance the budget, we shall have
the combination of unfair taxation
and inadequate revenues.

AS we stand on the threshold of
new year, there are three obvious,
but important, truths that we would
do well to consider. The first Is that
this is a small world. Science has
made it so. Moscow now is closer to
New York, so far as getting from the
one place to the other Is concerned,
than New York was to Philadelphia
in the era of George Washington.
Today, by radio we can speak around
the world in fraction OF second.
Today, the most distant part Of the
earth is only sixty-four hours away
from our nearest airport. This Is 3
world where recently eggs laid in
Ohio and Indiana were hatched IN
Warsaw, Poland. It is world where
two Pennsylvania men went hunting
with new piece of equipment. BY
using a walkie-talkie outfit in addi-
ton to their rifles, they managed to
track down, and shoot, q bear. 1t is
a world where man bought gift
in Washington, D. c.. on Thursday
to give to his wife IN Australia the
following Sunday. 1t is a world
where jet planes can fly from Cali
fornia to Washington and back to
California again the same day. 1t
Is small world.
X 4
The second truth is just as evident
and even more important. A small
world calls for big men. DR.. Basil
Mathews is said to have asked Sir

the courts attention to the fact that as
a result Of bringing the suit, Whirls had
been ousted from the CIO union for
conduct unbecoming union member"
It was therefore the unions contention
that the veteran could no longer be
employed by Trailmobile under the
terms of the closed-shop agreement,
While the question before the court
is close one-because of the one-year
rroyision-the tactics employed by the
union in this case may well prove,
boomerang to the CIo generally. It
would be unfortunate for the labor
movement If the impression became
widespread among veterans that unions
could use the power they acquired as
result Of collective bargaining elections
held during the war to defeat the gen.
eral intent Of the Selective Service Act.

The Price Trend

Apart from any market naulpu-
lating behind 1t, the sudden decline
in New York butter priceS-followed
by an accompanying drop here and
elsewhere-seems symptomatic OF a
somewhat hesitant but general
downward trend on several other
cost-of Living items in many parts
of the country.
As far as butter in New York is
concerned, the decline is tied in with
charges that dairy organizations
have been buying it to maintain it
at high price in order to keep up
the price of milk, whose ceiling is
fixed on a monthly basis, under
State law, in keeping with the cost
of butter. This alleged rigging" OF
the market is now being investi-
gated. Whatever the findings, how
ever, the fact remains that there
are evidences of mild natural de-
fation in a broad field of living
essentials.
Actually, because of an improved
supply situation, the price of but
ter has been declining steadily in
more than few parts of the coun-
try. AS for other commodities, an
Associated Press survey shows that
within the past few weeks the cost
of citrus fruits in various cities has
dropped about a third, meat and
lard about 10 cents pound and
clothing, shoes and furs from rs to
so per cent.
Some of the decline undoubtedly
is seasonal, in that it represents
little more than post-Christmas
sales clearance to make room for
stocks of new merchandise. More
over, many competent economist
private and governmental-predict
that prices as a whole are likely to
keep on rising, or at least remain at
their present high levels, for the
next three or six months. But after
that they are expected to go into a
substantial dip Of course, should
there be production Gripping strikes,
such a decline could hardly ma
terialize.
In short, with uninterrupted pro-
duction, we can expect constantly
improving supply situation, and as
the supply comes closer to demand,
lowering of prices will be natural.
The year 1947 thus promises to be a
year of cheaper living. The decline
probably will be gradual and mod
crate, but it will be novel in this
sense: That, generally speaking,
since 1933-and particularly since
is39-the cost of living has followed
an inhationary course. Most Amer
leans will welcome having it level
of and move downward in the

General McNarney hopes that the
denazification program can be ma
terially speeded up-an end advan-
tageous not only in the interest of
effective justice but as a means OF
shortening the overall occupational
assignment. Even so, the undertak-
ing remains an enormously COM
plicated and tedious one for all con-
cerned. In a sense, the American
system of deliberate justice is under
going a test in German eyes that
may have far-reaching effects. 1t
is essential that the experiment be
conducted in such a way as to insure
success. The amnesty move is
evidence that our forces in Germany
fully understand this fact.

Careers in Conservation

The bulletin from the Forestry
Service, United States Department
of Agriculture, Some Plain Facts
About the Forests" is a hard hitting
document regarding this vital re-
source. Ever since the Pilgrims
landed on Plymouth Rock we have
used our national resources with a
prodigal disregard Of future needs.
Forests have been slashed and the
fertility mined from our soil. To-
gether, the facts presented by the
Forest Service and the Soil Con-
servation Service are a SOLDERING in
dictment of our national tendency
to harvest in the present without
thought of tomorrow.
For a generation a few men of
vision have labored to bring the
situation home to average citizens.
Now that we are a nation 80 per
cent urban and 20 per cent rural,
food is increasingly matter of the
national welfare. The conservation
of the Nations woodlands has a
deeper implication than merely the
future production of lumber es-
sential for the Nations industries.
Upon the efficient and far-sighted
handling of our timber lands de-
pend in large degree such national
problems as flood control and soil
erosion over vast areas of the coun-
try.
1t all adds up to the fact that in
the years ahead conservation will
become one of the major vocational
opportunities for young men inter-
ested in outdoor life and a type OF
work directly tied to the welfare OF
the people. Millions of acres OF land
need to be replanted to trees in the
immediate future. The commercial
timber companies have already
made a good start in reforestation.
The some 1876 million acres in public
ownership can be increased. The
great need at present is campaign
among the Nations 100000 farmers
to put into tree growing some 1oo,-
100000 acres of marginal and sub
marginal land. Along with the
reforestation must go a great ex-
pansion of soil conservation work.
The two together mean that in the
decades ahead there will be many
chances for satisfying careers in
conservation.

Our Dicker With Poland

0uI OISNST WIN TVtOUQ
The agreement just arrived at be-
tween the American and Polish
Governments on compensation for
American private interests in the
latter country will come to many
informed observers as a distinct sur
prise. 1t is so at variance with other
aspects of American policy regard
ing Poland and other countries, es-
pecially Argentina, that legitimate
query may be raised on the. state
Departments description of the deal
as satisfactory"
This particular dispute between
Washington and Warsaw arose over
an announcement last September by
the Polish government that it was
going to nationalize some 500 COM
panies without compensation and
approximately another 500 with
compensation. Most of the COM
panies in the first category are in
the provinces of Eastern Germany
unilaterally annexed by Poland
without the assent of America or
Britain. No provision was made for
American holdings. The action with
respect to the others was almost
equally disregardful of American in
terests, owing to the methods of
naturalization, which clearly vio-
lated the terms of the prewar COM
mercial treaty between the United
States and Poland, still legally in
force.
American diplomatic representa-
tions failing to get redress, Wash
ington froze Polish gold, assets and
accounts in this country aggregating
nearly $40,000,000. And, Of course,
it should be remembered that, to-
gether with this commercial dis
pute, there is the controversy over
the Polish governments failure to
honor its commitments to hold free
and unfettered elections according
to the terms of the Yalta and other
agreements among the great pow
ers. The upshot of all this was the
application of economic pressure by
the American Government, not only
through the freezing of Polish as
sets above mentioned, but also
through the suspension of loans and
credits previously negotiated. Fur
thermore, this action by Washington
paralleled similar action by London.
The defiant attitude of Warsaw
regarding its political obligations,
with the indubitable backing of
Moscow, makes it apparent that
economic pressure is the best, if not
the only, method of obtaining an
equitable settlement of all outstand-
ing issues. The State Department
has now discarded one of its eco
nomic trumps to bail out some pri-
vate interests and has seemingly
done so at variance with London,
which has given no indication of
abandoning its policy toward War
saw. The question logically arises
whether the gains accruing to Amer
lean investors in Polish territory may
not have been dearly purchased.

Although this ruling was manifestly
in harmony with the spirit Of the old
collective agreement which had treated
the employees of both companies as one
/ integrated bargaining unit, it was. not
pleasing to the newer Trailmobile em-
ployes as they looked ahead to the in
evitable postwar contraction. The rival
UAW-CIO, alert for possible defections,
thereupon filed petition for an election.
Its campaign literature promised that
if the CIO became the bargaining repre-
sentative, it would subordinate the rights
of transferees from Highland to the
employees who had been in the Trail
mobile plant. Despite its discriminatory
character, this appealed to the newer
employees and since they heavily out
numbered the old employees of Highland,
the CIO carried the election with their
votes and shortly thereafter entered
into "a sed-shop contract with the
Trailmobile company, which provided
among other things, that for purposes of
seniority former Highland employees
should be deemed to have begun their
company, service on the date Of the
merger.
Conforming to the closed-shop agree
ment, Whirls joined the CIO in 1914.
1t was not until n-c..,th after the war
ended in l945 that lie was adversely
affected by the revised seniority plan.
Then, when layoffs and down-grading
began, he was denoted. He brought
suit to recover his old job end his
seniority status. The United S.stes
District Court found in his favor, and
the Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed
the Judgment. The company and the
union carried the case to the Supreme
Court, their position being that since
year had elapsed since Whirls' original
reinstatement he had no further rights
under the act.
In his argument, Frederick B. Wiener,
Special Assistant Attorney General, drew
