Same Old Story

Secretary of State Marshall has intro
duced note Of self-interest into the
administrations appeal to Congress to do
something about the problem Of the
displaced persons. ~
AS long as these people remain in the
detention camps, General Marshall said,
they will be continuing source of inter-
national friction He meant that the
Russians are anxious to get their hands
on those among the DPS who fled from
Poland, the Baltic states and other coun-
tries to escape the westward march of
communism. But these people do not want
to go back to whatever fate awaits them
at the hands of the COMMUNISTS, and we
have said that we will not make them go.
So General Marshall wants to get them
out of Europe. He asks that some 100000
of them be admitted to this country over
a period of four years, and he hopes that
the others-about 450,000 in number-will
be taken in by other countries If that
were done, he reasons, the Soviets would
drop their demands and the international
climate would be a little improved.
It Is difficult to appraise the weight Of
this argument. If the removal of the DPS
from Europe would reduce friction be-
tween Russia and the western powers, that
is important. But it is not the basic argu-
ment. We ought to help the DPS for the
basic reason that we have a moral obliga-
ton to do something for them. We can
do what has been proposed without any
hardship to ourselves, although even If
some hardship were entailed, we still ought
to do it.
For more than two years now, these peo-
pie have been living on diet of hope mixed
with despair. And with every month that
passes they have new reason to wonder at
the seemingly unbridgeable gap between
Americas fine words and poor deeds. For
more than six months Congress has had
before it proposals to aid the DPS. And
now the congressional leaders are saying
that nothing can be done at this session;
that time is too short.
This is the same old story OF procrastina-
tion that has been heard so often before.
Fer there has been plenty Of time. There
is still time. All that is really lacking Is
the will to do the decent, Christian thing
for the most unfortunate group of people
in the world.

Momentous Test

With emphasis on the urgency" of the
problem, the United States has now
called upon the United Nations Security
Council to give top priority consideration
to the Balkans. The Athens government
has filed a special appeal to the same
end and reports of Increased guerrilla
activity and a general intensification of
military clashes in Greece argue eloquently
for the promptest possible action.
The Council has before it an American
proposal-backed by all members except
Russia and Poland-that would avert an
explosion If put into effect. 1t would have
the Council take two basic steps. The
first of these would direct Yugoslavia,
Bulgaria and Albania-all three accused
of supporting guerrilla forces operating
against Greek independence-to join with
Greece in drawing up conventions TO emo
hostile acts along their borders. The sec
ond would create a longterm United
Nations commission to serve as policing
and mediating agency in the area. II these
measures were agreed upon, the Balkan
situation would become manageable.
Up to now, however, Russia has resisted
this peacemaking program. YugoslaVla'
Bulgaria and Albania, of course, are
obedient satellites, and word from the
Kremlin would be enough to stop them
from making trouble for Greece The
omineus aspect of the situation is that
Mr.. Gromyko, the Soviet member, may vote
mo" when the issue comes up for decision
in the Security Council. But at least the
record will be clear in that case. It he
vetoes the American proposal he will be
serving notice that the Stain government
:. is bent on bringing matters to boil In
the Balkans to frustrate our newly
launched program to help the Greeks
maintain their independence.
If this is to be Russia's answer to the
truman Doctrine if the Kremlin is
determined to use its satellites in an effort
to replace the present Athens government
with a puppet regime that would force
Greece within the Soviet orbit, then the
situation can become dangerous in the
extreme. The impending test in the
Security Council will be momentous in that
sense. If Mr. Gromyko votes for peace
making measures in the Balkans. poten-

Again Deadlock Over Korea

The renewed deadlock In Soviet-Amer-
lean negotiations over Korea does not come
as surprise. But 1t is another example Of
Moscows diplomatic casuistry, intran-
sigeance, and downright bad faith.
The record against Moscow is crystal
clear. AS far back as the Teheran Con-
ference of 1943, the eventual independence
of Korea was decided upon in secret
agreement between Premier Stain and the
late President Roosevelt That agreement
was formally implemented at the Moscow
Conference in the summer of 1945, when
Russia entered the war against Japan. An
arrangement was then made for the bisect-
ing of Korea into northern Russian zone
and southern American zone, respec-
lively. But this was specifically envisaged
as temporary measure of military occu-
patton, to be superseded by the setting up
of Korean provisional government under
joint Russo-American guidance looking
toward national reconstruction and even
tual independence.
Then the trouble began The Soviet
authorities turned the demarcation line
into veritable iron curtain" and pro-
ceeded to communize their zone until It
has become virtually satellite of the
Soviet Union, at the same time encourag-
ing troublemakers in our zone When the
Joint Soviet American Commission pro-
vided for under the Moscow agreement
did meet, the Russian members laid down
conditions which. would have caused the
projected provisional government to be
composed almost exclusively of Com
munists or fellow travellers" and would
eventually have rendered our position in
Korea untenable. When our delegates
refused to agree to these conditions, the
Russians so deadlocked the negotiations
that the joint commission adjourned in
definitely in May, 1916.
This rupture of negotiations persisted
until the Moscow Conference last spring,
when Secretary of State Marshall sent a
note to Foreign Minister Molotov suggest
ing resumption of negotiations, but
coupling. this with the statement that, if
they were not resumed, the United States
would take without further delay such
steps in its zone as will advance the pur-
poses of that agreement"
This warning of impending American
unilateral action obviously did not set well
with the Kremlin so Molotov agreed that
negotiations would be resumed. However,
Secretary Marshall in his reply, notified
Molotov that a resumption of negotiations
must be based upon clear meeting OF

Mr.. kent's Standards of Writing

MIR. kent's Standards of Writing
To the Editor of The Star:
In reducing the number of his articles to
one week, Frank Kent will deprive the public
of a. conservative journalism which extends
security to those of us who are frequently and
profoundly disturbed by political confusions.
For those of us who are anti-New Deal, Mr..
Kent's writings contain the very essence Of
type Of notable journalism which stabilizes
political reasoning with sound beliefs and
directs our otherwise superficial thinking into
a minimum Of anxiety. inexperienced but en-
thusiastic readers, who have to struggle along
with the current political problems, bouncing
back and forth from right to left. and left to
right, must have mooring, and Mr.. Kent's
standard of writing affords this freedom OF
choice.
The Importance of the press to the people
has developed through the skill of able writer's.
As to the supposed problem Of the develop
ment of the ptess as an instrument of mass
communication" decreasing the proportion OF
the people who can express their opinions and
ideas through the press" think that through
the medium Of letter writing, sufncient space
Is afforded to answer this need. Many good
letter writer's. though sincere, are 10 inexpess

Orchestru's Summer Season

The 1947 summer season of the National
Symphony Orchestra has been unfortunate
so far as weather is concerned, but the
concerts given at the Water Gate have
demonstrated, as perhaps nothing else
could, the fact that Washington's leading
musical organization has reached the apex
OF artistic achievement. Never before has
the orchestra so richly deserved the gener-.
Gus support of the metropolitan public. Yet
paradoxically attendance has been less
than had been anticipated.
Undoubtedly, rain has kept many friends
Of the orchestra away from the river front.
Again and again it has happened that a
heavy shower has occurred just at the
time when otherwise whole families would
have been leaving their homes for an
evening of classic melody under the stars.
The orchestra naturally has felt the alb
sence Of those who stayed away. Walt
Whitman was correct in his Judgment that
great music requires throngs of people to
appreciate and thus to stimulate it,
But those who have attended the Water
Gate performances have been we'll re-
warded. The programs this summer have
been carefully selected, splendidly executed.
A rich maturity of spirit and of skill has
been manifest in the work of the orchestra
The soloists have been visitors of distinc-
tion. Six more concerts remain to be
given. 1t is to be hoped that the weather
will be congenial. In any case, the orches-
ira merits audiences equal to its endeavor.
Especially to the Washingtonians who
never yet have heard 1t playing out of
doors, The Star commends the experience.

Woman on NLRB

w oman On TNLNb
To the Editor of The Star:
would like to suggest that now would be
a good time for President Truman to appoint
a woman to the National Labor Relations Board.
There are several women of whom think as
being Observation-Disclosures Perkins. Anna
Rosenberg and Rose schneiderman. I realize
that these women served under the so-called
New Deal administration but NLRB appoint
ments should be nonpartisan.
Women have a natural instinct in matters
that require tact and compromise. The Presi-
dent has good reason to know and to value the
wise counsel that women can give.

Attracting far less attention

obviously there is a need for
something to be done to prevent
hundreds of infants deaths each
year." Miss billiard says. Every
effort is being made to teach the
expectant mother the Importance
of good food; poor nutrition is
the greatest single factor in the
incidence of premature births.
The next hurdle to overcome is
the availability of adequate care
for the premature infant. In Mis-
issippi 63 per cent of the deaths
among premature infants occur
during the first day of life. In
order to save the life of the pre-
mature infant hospital care must
be readily available; the hospital
must be equipped with ineubators
and other specialized facilities
and well-trained personnel"
