many unless 1t can get its own
way. If these assumptions prove
correct, there would seem to be scant
likelihood that the Moscow Confer
ence can generate a constructive
settlement. Indeed, press dis
patches from London, where the
deputies have been sitting, report
a general feeling among the British
and American participants that the
coming Moscow meeting cannot
yield much more than a preliminary
approach to the German problem,
the settlement itself being perhaps
years away.
While it is to be hoped that these

Long-Ronqe Fighters

The Army Air Forces assertion
that the Honolulu-to-New York
flight OF the twin Mustang fighter
plane, Betty 10, was something more
than a stunt cannot well be dis
puted. It was spectacular from the
news reporters viewpoint, of course,
but 1t was also sensational from the
viewpoint of the military stratsgist.
The Betty JOS achievement indi-
Gates that the day Of the truly long
range fighter is not far off, if it is
not already here. It heralds an era
Of closer coordination between
bomhers and fighters in long over
land or overseas strikes against an
enemy. One Of the hazards which
our large bombers had to meet far
from their bases during World
War II was the menace of fast
enemy attack planes. Fighter pro-
lection was provided as far as the
limited range OF the fighters would
permit. After that the bombers
were on their own.
To deal with this problem, our
bombers were forced to carry heavier
and heavier armor and more and
more gunc-until they became, in
fact, combined fighters and bombers.
Accurate bombing when uncer direct
attack by enemy pursuit planes is
hardly to be expected. If the Betty
JOS flight is prophetic of future
tactics, our bombers in the next
war can depend on fighter protec-
tion all the way to a distant target
and back. The bombers thus will
be free to do the job for which
they were primarily designed-the
dropping Of explosives on enemy
targets.
The Betty 10 was stripped down
for her long hop Of nearly 5000
miles. In time of war, she would
have to carry guns, ammunition and
other heavy equipment that would
reduce her range. But, even with
this equipment, she is far ahead of
other planes of her type and un-
doubtedly precursor of even more
revolutionary fighter craft to come

The Corrupting Necktis
By Jay G.. HAYDEN !
From the New York Herald Tribune.

From the New York Herald Tribune
The necktie, unlike the mink coat, the
diamond bracelet and the well-filed
wallet, has never served to tempt the
discerning eye Of the rowing yeggnian.
The haberdasher Of more modest past
has felt that he had little to offer which
would attract those who like to pro-
vide themselves with valuable merchan-
disc by methods more direct than pur-
chase and sale. But the status of the
necktie has been changing during years
OF easy money and Frightening fnascu-
line tastes. The conservative knot of
color which once nestled beneath the
Adams apple for as little as 49 cents
plus, has now arrived at point In art,
finance and police reports where it rs
possible for $4,000 worth of super
cravats to be stolen recently from q
Park avenue shop by discriniihating
thieves. The ravished neckties, some
Of which were doubtless as vivid as
Turner's and weird as Dalis, were ifli-
tailed like new and old masters and
sold for SIS apiece. .-o,.,..
Let economists or prophets Of mans
decline and fall draw what conclusions
they like from the present luxuriotis
state Of the necktie, which, we believe,
bids fair to set new standards In store
robberies and corrupt a citizenry Just
emerging from sport shirts. Rome, We
know, did not go in for neckties, so
little could be gained by turning to
Gibbon on the subject. But certainly
some modern Cato should arise to con-
front the present crisis in cravats, both
in style and price. We have come too
far from the black string ties Of william
Jennings Bryan and John Sharp VII
liams and from the snappy bow ties, two
for quarter, which used conveniently
to fasten In back Of q stfn collar With

Sweet Tyronny?

The personal" classified ads in
the Times OF London have long
been celebrated as a mirror of the
wants and humors of humanity. It
is doubtful, however, that they have
ever contained more arresting item
than the one that appeared among
them the other day. This is how

tyranny of possessions will sell all

pictures, cameras, stamps, guns,
Ssc.-Write Box P. 104. the Times,
e. G. f."
For one reason or another, the
Times apparently did not do what
most American newspapers would
have done in this instance. It did
not assign a reporter to look up the
man of BOX P. 104" and write about
him in fine feature story, COM
plete with pictures of him getting
rid of his last pair of socks. Ac-
cordingly, at this distance, one can
only speculate over how he has Jared
in his rebellion. Has he unloaded
most of his worldly goods? Has
he undermined their tyranny?
Does he feel a fresh sense of free
dom, and is there q new song in
his heart?
There are many among us, in
any case, who will sympathize with
this man and wish him well, even
though we possess much less. It is
all rather bittersweet. It is nice
to own things, but they can in
deed be tyrannical. They tie us
down. They entangle us in their
accumulating clutter. They make
us keep our feet on the ground.
Sometimes they seem to possess us
quite as much as we possess them,
and we are a little like birds in a
gilded cage, or "like an ass whose
back with ingots bows"
The man of BOX P. 104" appar-
emily has had as much of this as he
can stand. He has taken to heart
st. ,Luke's admonition that "a mans
life consisteth not in the abundance
OF the things which he possesseth." !"
He has acted In keeping with
Charles Kingsley's dictum that
Possession means to sit astride
the world instead Of having it
astride you" And 50 he has de-
termined to start a new life un-
incumbered with stuff like yachts.
1t is safe to assume, however, that
this man Is just a lone rebel and
not the precursor of a trend. As
things stand, it looks as If the rest
of us will keep on holding to the
view, as has been written, that "a
heavy purse makes q light heart"
and that money is honey, my little
sonny, and = rich mans Joke is al
ways funny" That Is not always
true, Of course, but 1t has been TRUE

PreIiminories to Moscow

The deputies of the Council of
Foreign Ministers have completed
a six-Week period of almost continu-
Gus conferences and have formally
reported to their principals. The
objective of these understudies was,
OF course, to do the preliminary
spade work on the projected Ger
man and Austrian peace, treaties
which are to form the chief items
on the agenda of the Foreign Min
tsters' Conference slated to con-
vene at Moscow on March 10.
The overall result of the deputies
labors is certainly not encouraging.
While a measure of understanding
was arrived at over Austria, no
progress whatever was made regard
ing Germany, which is, of course,
the hard core of the problem of
Europe's postwar settlement. The
foreign ministers will thus be con-
fronted with an impasse on the part
of their deputies, who naturally are
mere reflections of their superiors,
possessing no power of initiative on
their own.
The measure of their failure is re-
vealed by the passage in their re-
port which states that they failed
to work out procedure for consulta-
ton with the Allied governments. !"
In plain English, this means that
their disagreement was not merely
on specific aspects of the German
problem but even on the method of
approach to it. Furthermore, the
report admits deterioration of the
diplomatic situation during the
deputies conferences when it states
euphemistically that relations be-
tween the western powers and the
Soviet Union have not improved.
This is, of course, the heart of the
whole matter. Everything indicates
. basic antithesis between Soviet
and Anglo-American views on the
future Of Germany. Furthermore,
It would seem to be equally clear
that Moscow would prefer to per-

Trimming the Debt

One measure Of the significance
of the Senate's decision to pay
$4,000, ,000, 900 on the national debt
in the 1948 fiscal year lies in the
fact that this would amount to a
reduction of only l per cent. In
other words, il the same payment
could be made annually, the Fed
eral Government would be free of
debt in hundred years.
Assuming a genuine desire to put
the country's fiscal affairs in better
ordsr, this serves to illustrate the
Importance OF placing debt payment
ahead of tax reduction. Senator
Taft, supporting a Republican move
for a 20 per cent cut in personal
income taxes, fought for a commit
ment to reduce the debt by only
$1,000, 100000. He was opposed in
this, however, by his Republican
colleague from California, Senator
Knowland, who was holding out for
a $3,000,000, 900 debt retirement. The
upshot was a compromise on the
$4,000, 100000 figure, and this was
adopted by a unanimous vote.
There are, of course, many pitfalls
in the path of any debt reduction.
For one thing, the Senate action
has yet to face the fire of hostile
House, where tax reduction has a
far greater appeal than cut in the
debt. Then there is the further fact
that any debt reduction is predicated
on an excess Of revenue over ex-
penditure, and while it looks now as
though there will be a surplus of
around $4,000, 100000 many things
can happen to destroy this rosy
outlook.
The basic fact remains, however,
that If we are ever to get out OF debt
a start has to be made. And if it
Is not made this year there Is little
hope that we will ever make 1t.
For this will be year OF exceptional
prosperity. The Government ex-
poets revenues in excess of $39, ,000,-
100000, and If in that fortunate
situation the people and the Con-
gress are not willing to put the
payment of their debt first and tax
reduction second, there is little hope
indeed for the future.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

the war, must be aided. Relief, in the
opinion of Mr.. Hoover, is an essential
measure of peace insurance, even for
the peoples Of former enemy countries
The former President, however, who
is the greatest authority on relief and
food control in this country or else
where, made it crystal clear that at
tention must be given to the American
taxpayer whose burdens are tremend-
Gus. Speaking to the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs in connection with
President Truman's proposal that Con-
gress authorize an expenditure Of $780,
100000 to be used for relief in five Eu-
ropean countries, not including Ger
many, he said that it Is generally be-
lieved abroad that our possibilities OF
giving are unlimited.
Already, he pointed out, this country
has spent between five and six billions
of dollars on civilian relief since the
war. And two years after the war the
Federal, State and local taxes in this
country take IS per cent Of the Ma
tional income. Yet the total of future
claims upon the generosity of the United
States comes to very large figure.
Mr.. Hoover,s recommendations for
large expenditures for relief in Ger
many (America's share Is $475, ,500, ,000
and that Of the British is the sanel
will be followed by Recommendation
for very considerable aid In Austria.
They come at time when the Repub-
ncan major7ties In the House and Sen
ate are bent upon curtailing Presi-
dent Truman's budget for the next
fiscal year by six to four and . half
billions OF dollars. They come, too, from
former Republican President, which
does not make the task Of the budget
pruners any easier. Mr.. Hoover does
not believe in playing politics with hui
man suffering, whether In the United
States or elsewhere. Nor does he believe
in minimizing the necessary steps to
prevent chaotic conditions In Europe,
which might easily lead to war and to
the complete domination by Communist
forces

placed on q loan basis, rather than
outright gift, and that everything pos

Recognizing the responsibility of the
United States to war-rayaged, suffering
and in some cases Starving-people III
Europe and Asia, former President
Hoover has advanced a common sense,
hard-headed program for the continu-
ance OF American relief.
In the first place. he has urged upon
the President and Congress the need of
an overall survey Of relief needs and
q coordination of American effort
under foreign relief administrator. In
the second place, In order to spare the
American taxpayer rs much as possible,
he has proposed that relief expenditures
be made contingent on repayment by the
nations receiving relief, where such a
course can be followed.
Further, he would give priority to re-
payments for relief Of former enemy
nations over reparations. This is
specifically mentioned in his first re-
port to President Truman on his recent
economic mission to Germany, in which
he recommends relief for the American
and British occupied zones in the
and half, or until July /, 1948. He re-
C0LlulCIlQCu tllht tlllS PAU4by VIC W4AGCCA
into any peace treaty that is made be-
tween the Allied powers and Germany.
How Soviet Russia, France and other
nations demanding reparations win view
this proposal remains to be determined.
Mr.. Hoover correctly pointed out, how
ever, that these relief expenditures are
q sine qua non II Germany Is to be able
to make reparation payments on large
scale.
Mr. Hoover's description Of conditions
in Germany-the Anglo-American zones
which have been combined for admins
trative purposes-leaves no doubt that
relief must be given if there Is not to
be starvation on large scale. Further,
he made it quite clear that II food is
not provided, it will mean larger armed
forces to maintain order at a greatly
increased cost in both men and money.
As Mr.. Hoover remarked, 1t Is some
thing new in history for q conqueror to
make large expenditures, over q period
OF years, for the relief OF 4 conquered
people. It Is equally true, as he said,
that II western civilization d to survive.
