Thut Police Stute

In the partisan political sense there may
have been certain justification for the
alacrity with which Senator Taft, Carroll
Reece and other Republicans pounced on
the Presidents message to the special ses-
sion of Congress as evidence of some sin
lister plot on Mr.. Trunaan's part to fasten
a police state" on this country.
Most people in this country have
achieved political maturity which enables
them to discount with considerable exact
ness partisan statements. They know
that these things have to be taken with
a grain of salt and they also know that
Mr. Truman, by his own previous reference,
gin a moment of political expansiveness,
80 economic controls as police state meth
DDS, gave the Republicans at least color
able talking point.
It is a somewhat different matter how
ever when the retiring president of the
National Association OF Manufacturers,
Earl Bunting, takes up this cry. There is
ample reason to, be highly skeptical of
the wisdom of the controls for which Mr..
Truman has asked. But to attack them
with this police state argument is silly.
1t suggests that we are getting little
hysterical, and if Mr.. Bunting and his
associates are losing sleep over the threat
of a police state in America that would
tend to confirm the suggestion.

'TncomprehensibIe'

In the Soviet Union there are some fifty
native women who have been denied per-
mission to join their American husbands
in this country In the territories the
Kremlin has annexed or come to control
since 1889, there are an additional 200 in
the same unhappy predicament. The case,
like similar one involving fifteen Britons
and their Russian wives, has been the
subject of special diplomatic action. AS
just revealed by the State Department,
note went out six months ago asking the
Stain government to grant the necessary
exit visas, but up to now the request has
been ignored, nor is there any evidence
that it will ever be acted upon favorably.
If the situation were reversed, of course,
if there were American women who
wanted to join their Russian spouSes in
the Soviet Union, they could do so without
trouble Under our laws. any one of us
can give up United States citizenship and
emigrate to Russia or other countries. But
the Kremlin dictatorship runs things diff
ferently. Once a citizen under it, always
a citizen under it, and it appears to be
reluctant in the extreme to make any ex-
ceptions So we have a situation where
lonely wives-many of them mothers
must languish in the U. S. S. R. hoping
against hope that somehow, some day,
they will be able to be with their hus-
bands again. A great number OF these

Czech-Soviet Trade Pact

The commercial treaty ready Tor sigma
ture between the governments of Czecho-
slovakia and the Soviet Union may be
document with far-reaching Implications
It marks an important step in the Soviet
policy of reorienting Czechoslovak for
eign trade from west to east. Further
more, it should be understood that this
treaty does not stand alone. It follows
commercial agreements OF similar ma
ture between Czechoslovakia and three
Soviet satellite regimes-those of Poland,
Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, while two more
such pacts are in process of negotiation
with two other Soviet satelliteS-Hungary
and Romania. Taken together, these half
dozen treaties could result in tying
Czechoslovakia firmly to the Soviet bloc.
The economic revolution implied in all
this can be better understood when it is
realized that, before the late war, Russian
and Polish trade with Czechoslovakia was
negligible, while trade with the other ma
tions of Eastern Europe was subordinate
to that with Western Europe, especially
Germany. And, hitherto, despite Moscow's
best efforts, Czech-Russian trade has not
become major factor. Last year 1t ac-
counted for only five per cent of the Czech
total Under the new treaty, the aim is to
increase CZech-Russian trade to some
eighteen per cent, while the treaties with
the three satellites already negotiated
should account for another twenty two
per cent. Also, it is expected that the
pending treaties with Hungary and
Romania will provide for further trade
exchanges on a large scale The Czech
Ministry of Commerce appears hopeful
that the ultimate total of it's eastern trade
will run between fifty and sixty per cent.
Of course, it remains to be seen how
much of this is factually based and how
much may be classed as wishful thinking.
Many important details of the Czech
Soviet agreement have not yet been dis
closed. For instance, we do not know the
scales of prices on either side, nor do we
know how much of Czech production of
metal goods and machinery is involved.
Such goods, together with certain high
grade lines of consumer articles, are
Czech specialties which have had the
readiest sale in western markets. On the
other hand, it is a moot point whether
Soviet Russia is capable of furnishing
Czech industry with the precise kinds of
raw materials needed to keep Czech in
dustry efficient and prosperous.
History teaches that planned diversions
of normal trade exchanges are difficult
and costly. Czechoslovakia' economy has
been traditionally oriented westward.
And it should be noted that, even If sue
cessf111 tho ea stward diversion nf itc for.
eign trade will probably not total much
more than fifty per cent. That leaves
almost half still to be disposed Of in other
markets. 1t will be interesting to note
how this balance will be handled.

Polish Strategy

TO the Editor of The STAR
You are mistaken in your statement in last
Sundays Star that If Mr.. Mikola jczyk, the
Polish peasant leader who recently fled from
his Russian-dominated homeland, wants to
keep his support among Americans of Polish
origin he must join either the old Polish
Peasant Federation set up in Washington by
exiled Bulgarian, Hungarian aNd Yugoslav
leaders.
Mr.. Mikolajczyk is a true democrat. That
is the real significance of his fight from
todays Poland. And the ideals of the Polish
peasants and of a majority of the nation,
are his ideals.
It is true Mr.. Mikolajczyk may lose some
of his American supporters if he does not
associate with one of the groups cited by you.
But if he associates with these organizations,
he risks losing most of his supporters in Poland.
The London government is an outgrowth OF
Becks government of colonels; the federation
is an outgrowth of Stambuliskys Green
International BY the ordinary people OF
Poland, both these organizations have always
been regarded as regressive absolutist and
fascist.
I think the struggle against communism Will
be better served if Mr.. Mikolajczyk keeps his
supporters in Poland instead of changing his
program and party tag to join one OF two
organizations whose significance in this strug-
gle is very doubtful. I also think Americans
of Polish descent will understand his behavior
and that most of them will approve it.

The Man for the Job

DR.. Ralph J. Bunche, -three-year-
old Detroit born Washingtonian, is emf
nently qualified for his new post-secretary
of the United Nations Palestine Commits
sion.
A University of California bachelor OF
arts, with a masters degree from Har-
ward, he came here in 1928 as assistant
professor at Howard University. Six years
later, agek thirty, after returning to Har-
ward for "a Phi. D., he was elevated to full
professorship and placed in charge OF
Howard's department of political science.
The value the university placed on his
services may be judged from the fact
that, technically, he still is on leave from
this Job, although he has been absent
from the classroom since 1941.
Prior to that, impelled by an urge to
know the answers to questions his stu
dents asked, DR.. Bunche took time out to
study at Northwestern University, the Lon
don School of Economics and the Union
of South Africa's Capetown University On
fellowships from the Julius Rosenwald
Fund and the Social Science Research
Council, he travelled and studied all over
Africa, Malaga and the East Indies.
In 1941, Dr. Bunche went to work for
the Office of the Co-ordinator of 1nforma-
ton (later OSS) as research analyst and
chief of the African section. He trans
ferred to the State Department in 1945
and shortly was named associate chief

marriages grew out of wartime romances.
When they took place, there was no
thought OF the possibility that the Stain
government would put blight on them or
follow policy likely to make them wither
away through enforced separation. Yet
that seems to be what has happened. Love
is supposed to laugh at locksmiths, but
in this case it apparently must weep.
Measured against all the worlds trou
bles, the plight Of this relatively small
group may be OF minor Importance, but
it is nonetheless poignant. Certainly, as
the State Department has said, the Soviet
attitude is altogether "incomprehensible. !"
Only negligible number of visas IS
needed to end the heartaches involved,
but the Kremlin remains unmoved. Why?
What can it gain from this display Of
hardness? Is there nothing it will do,
even in matter of this sort, to show
some warmth of sentiment or at least a
little evidence of wanting to win good will
through friendly gestures? "Incompre-
hensible" is indeed the word for it. What
we seem to be dealing with here is a
mentality that just cannot be understood
within the framework of western ideas.

MOTORING Irritants
To the Editor Of The Start

To the Editor OF The Start
Isn't there something that you can do
through your newspaper to bring about fair
law covering motorists who lneander along in
the middle of thoroughfare and then sud-
denly decide to STOP
The other morning an old man driving a
company car was in front Of our car in the
center Of thoroughfare. A bus was next to
the curb beside him. and suddenly he stopped
dead In the middle of the street to let the
bus go by so he could pull over and pick up
passenger. Knowing he was going to make this
stop, he should have been behind the bus and
next to the curb.
They get away with it all the time We have
talked to any number Of people who have had
the same thing happen to them.
AS remedy, want to suggest that when
man reaches a certain age. say go, he should not
be allowed to drive car unless he has taken
new set of tests and proven himself capable

Formula for Living

To the Editor of The Star:
The remarkable article, "A Gandhian Mir
acle," which appeared in Tuesdays Star, some
how recalls that almost 20 centuries ago a
simple carpenter, Jesus of Nazareth, sought to
establish a system based on brotherhood. The
plan applied to one and all and was under
standable to men, women and children. 1t
was not dependent upon creed, ceremony, form
or ritual; no group, religious or otherwise, could
monopolize it and it was as free as the air we
breathe.
This same, simple Nazarene who sacr1nced
his life in a supreme effort to perpetuate good
will to men, left only legacy of peace MY
peace leave with you.' He had no gold or
costly temples to bequeath his followers. but
His legacy Of peace will last And when men
practice what they preach, abiding by the
Golden Rule rather than the rule OF gold. the
Masters mission will finally be fulfilled.

Rural Road Improvement

A vast Nat1On-W1de road DullQlng anu
road improvement program will probably
get underway within matter of months
Recent publicity has made citizens IA
miliar with the overall plan to link the
cities of the country with system OF
per-highways. The program will re-
quire several years for completion and un-
doubtedly the various national and State
agencies have co-operated in laying out
the gargantuan major networks of roads.
It is neither cynicism nor pessimism to
recognize that irst-class modern road
plan is an integral factor in the national
welfare.
Another side of the picture is important.
Our Nations rural roads deserve more
attention than they have received. In
1941 local rural roads totaled mileage
of 2405,894 and at that time 1,474 AIS
were unsurfaced. The total mileage OF
the Nations roads is approximately 3,O00,-
OOO Thus almost so per cent of our total
weather, hard-s surfaced roads. Some time
ago the Congress appropriated $150,000,-
600 annually for three years to improve
country roads The Federal moneys were
to be matched dollar for dollar by State
and county moneys. Shortage of mate
rials, high costs and lack of workers have
caused most States and counties to defer
action.
Experts say that the cost of changing a
large proportion of dirt roads to year.
round hard surfaces will be only frac-
ton per mile the expenditure necessary
for the multi-lane pixies between cities
We are beginning to realize that hundreds
of thousands of farms now located on dirt
roads are an important factor in the coun-
try's food supply. In spring and in fall
there are likely to be periods when such
farms are virtually isolated. City dwellers
often forget that we are now Nation 80
per cent urban. A strong farm economy Is
a vital part of the countryS well-being.
for farmers purchases help keep industry
in high gear. AS our road building gets
underway 1t is to be hoped the secondary
roads and farm to market roads will re-
celve deserved attention.

with an eye to the future, are practicing good
foresty than is the case with farmers and other
owners of comparatively small but equally
important tracts. The surveys show that %
per cent of the cutting practices or methods
in use on the 500C0,000 acres held by the in
dustry" is good. On the other hand the same
can be said of only per cent OF the cutting
on the 2600G0 900 acres in the hands OF our
100000 small owners" And these, according
to Federal foresters, are the hard core of the
forestry problem" AS to the overall picture,
the surveys reveal that good cutting practices,
so essential to future timber supplies, are in
vogue on only 80 900 900 acres Of the 345 900 900
of forest Land in private ownership, or on less
than 10 per cent Of the total.
Fire protection in the forests provides more
OF basis for optimism, fortunately. than the
activities dealt with above, yet even here there's
no place for corhplacency.
For more than so years, the Federal Gov
ernment, through the Forest Service and other
Government agencies, has striven to bring about
better care and management of the forest re-
sources through public education The Ameri-
can Forestry Association has led other private
associations in the same crusade, and recently
this organization, backed by the lumber and
forest products industries, has stepped up its
efforts into Nationwide campaign.
But can public education alone move the
