United States Is forecast at $5,640 900 900
for 1s48, falling to $2,622, 900, 900 for 1851.
From all this maze Of figures, two
cardinal facts emerge. In the first place
it is Europe's estimate of needs which have
to be reconciled with the economic situa-
tions, not only of the United States but
of other nations in the Western Hemisphere
as well-notably Canada and Argentina
Secondly, the estimates now submitted are
downward revisions of much larger original
estimates, made under pressure of Amer
ican criticism. Without detailed knowl-
edge of the factors involved, it is impossible
to say how the revisions conform to eco
nomic realities. The report of the Paris
Conference is thus more or less tentative
blueprint, presumably subject to further
revision by consultation between all the
parties concerned

The Limits of Our Ability
To the Editor Of The Star:

TO the Editor Of The Star:
II could forget the past, might view the
Marshall plan more favorably But the Dawes
and Young plans, parts of World War after
math, for the rehabilitation, not OF Europe,
but only of Germany, still stick in my memory.
We then failed miseraby to prevent the COL
lapse of Germany and the rise Of Nadism
Maybe we can improve upon those plans, but
am skeptioal.. Since VI Day, We have poured
% billion dollars into Europe and Asia in an
effort to prevent starvation and disease. Not,
Wlthstanding all this, we are now told that the
situation is worse than at any time since the
end OF the shooting war; and in addition to
that We are row called upon to prevent the
spread OF communism, something more difficult
to do than preventing the rise of Naziism Is
years ago, at which we failed utterly
Don't get me wrong. have no brief for COM
munlsm In fact We are too communistic al
ready; but there is not much to choose between
communism and national bankruptcy We
today actually owe the equal of our total
wealth decade ago, and the fact that we
owe it to each other does not make us in
reality more solvent than If we owed it to
outsiders. The only difference is In the pros
pect OF soon being called upon to settle. But
settlement could come with astonishing swift
ness, either by repudiation or violent inf1ation
anu We are raploly approaching the latter
method OF settlement.
The point that am trying to get across to
cockeyed-thinking world is that there Is limi-
tation to our ability to extend national credit
The Federal Government is at present in worse
condition with respect to its finances than
any other governmental unit, State, county or
municipal, with which am acquainted; yet We
go merrily on asking Federal aid for well nigh
every conceivable project. Candidates for both
State and Federal Offices vie with each other
in advocacy of raids on the Federal Treasury
for agriculture, schools, health and what not
The 1mplementation of the Marshall plan may
be the sine qua non to the preservation of
the democratic way Of life. If so, let's lop its
cost off Of our domestic outlays and at the
same time balance our budget and thereby allay
once and for all this spreading apprehension
of national insolvency. We will have to forego
politics to reach this all-important objective.
But in my thinking this is the current great
desideratum and speaking for myself, 7 am
unwilling to recognize any insuperable OBJ
stacles, but am ready to give its attainment
such time and talents as have.

The Taft Economic Proorom

Sterilization will be the Republican
watchword for 1s48, judging from Senator
Taft's conception of the G. o. P. platform
as outlined in his speech before the Com
monwealth Club in San Francisco. Since
he has become the party's chief spokes-
man on domestic issues Senator Taft's
program for stabilizing prices wages and,
in fact, the whole economy undoubtedly
will be the basis of the Republican pro-
gram in the forthcoming campaign. What
Senator Taft and his fellow party stall
warts hope to create in the minds of
the voters is a picture Of Republicanism
steadying the Nation at time of economic
stress and strain.
The Republican plan of sterilization, as
Senator Taft explains it, is based chiefly
on revival of free enterprise, although
not along hidebound lines. He calls for
less Government control of business, but
recognizes that some Federal restrictions
are needed to deal with abuses of freedom
by the unScrupulous. He points out that
the Republican Congress has gone along
with the Administration in retaining for
the time being rent control and export
control, because Of continuing emergency
conditions. And he contends that rising
prices cannot fairly be blamed on lifting
OF price controls, but on Government
policies which have encouraged the spiral
ing of wages.
1t Is with respect to rising wages that
Senator Taft would apply special "stabil-
izing" pressure, although he does not
specify what means he may have in mind
for exerting this pressure. The Repub-
lican aim apparently will be to 'discour-
age" further wage increases whenever they
mean an increase in the cost of living,
while recognizing that wages and prices
are permanently above the pre-war levels.
But Senator Taft believes that "subnormal'
wages should be raised to at least fifty
or sixty per cent above the 1899 level
Wages in most cases already have reached
that level or beyond Whether the raising
Of subnormal wages as proposed could be
effected without a rise In prices is de-
batable. But Senator Taft is correct in
his contention that 1t is high time that
some consideration be given to the plight
Of white collar workers and other groups
which may not have benefited from the
wage boosts won by organized labor.
Senator Tafts proposal for an increase
in the minimum wage from forty to sixty
cents should give encouragement to the
minority Of workers who suffer from
grossly inadequate wages. These unfor-
tunate people have seen minimum wage
bills 60 down to defeat year after year,
principally because Of insistence of the
farm bloc on coupling parity legislation

matter with Europe? I'm wondering If some
OF that huge United States loan to Britain
could have been used that way?
Will some one who understands please ex-
plain this enigma? I guess it is all right, but
I am just too dumb to take 1t in. Maybe it is
something like high finance" never could

Well, girls, as figure 1t, those folks over

sacrifice for us, but we don't mind that when
1t is for such worthy cause.
The French designer is a smart man. He
has fixed the skirt length exactly right for
his own purpose that is, to make us buy new
clothes. The skirts we are wearing can't be
made long enough, neither can the new ones
be cut off to look right, and don't let any one
tell you they can. They will not be in the right
proportion. know there are few ladies who,
after wearing the short skirts for years. have
suddenly come to consider them immodest.
Maybe they are looking at it from the mans
point Of view. E. s. M.

There are enough laws already on our books
to protect us against treason, sabotage and
real disloyalty.'
In addition, Fiorello H. La Guardia, former
head OF UNNRA and Mayor OF New York City,
wrote in an article published on March 80 of
this year, I'VE have gone through many periods
OF hysteria in our country. This is not the
frst time that drastic measures have been
invoked. 1t has been tried before and in every
instance 1t has proved failure.
1T was tried In 1798-the famous Alien and
Sedition Laws Hundreds and hundreds of
people were prosecuted, convicted, and jailed.
Thomas jefferson, on becoming President
liberated every person convicted under the
sedition Laws, and Congress appropriated to
refund all Of the fines paid under them"

aims. 0talics mine) Our union agrees with

A Good Time to Borrow

We are in effect already committed to
large part of the record budget for schools
I requested by the Board of Education.
Major part of the increase over the current
years appropriation is to carry along new
school construction already authorized
ard appropriated for. This construction
IS designed to eliminate part-time and
ouercrowded classes which Congress
Adopted as an objective in the last session
and to extend the school system to areas
which underwent rapid growth during
the war.
:, Had we been able during the war, to
maintain normal amount of school con-
struction and the teacher personnel that
went with 1t, we should not be in the posi-
ton now of spending so much to catch up.
A substantial part of the money that
might, during the war, have gone into
school construction was used to wipe the
Districts slate clean of all Indebtedness.
Granting that the Commissioners and
Congress agree with the School Board on
the amount 1t has recommended to meet
school needs, the question is where the
money is coming from. Obviously it can
not be wisely taken from current tax
revenues. If the proposed sales tax full
filled all the predictions made for it as a
money raiser, for example, sales tax
next year would not produce much more
than the increase asked for schools alone
The sales tax Is about the only form of
tax that remains to be levied in the Dis
trict.
1t is becoming apparent that we must
borrow to meet the heavy capital expendi-
lures required to catch up from the war
imposed holiday on construction. Mrs.
Henry Grattan Doyle, president of the
Board of Education, is correct in saying
that we cannot wait to supply the present
needs of children who, in few years, will
have passed their school days. We cannot
wait for them or for those who are coming
after them. The school system must be
brought up now to the requirements of
our expanded population.
But the cost of the program can be
spread over the years. The Federal Gov
eminent should advance the funds needed
to meet the building program, as 1t ad-
vanced the money to buy park lands. We
are now free of debt. Practically every
city In the country, faced with the same
task that faces us here, is borrowing the
money. Our pay-as-you-go system has
been sound. But we have borrowed before
to meet extraordinary expenses and we
should do 1t again. The heavy tax load
now will not permit paying for such pro-
grams out Of current revenue. If the
program Is restricted to what can be spent
from current revenues each year, children
now In school will be receiving their old
age pensions before the program is COM
pleted.

lndividuuIism Plus Cooperation

"At the center of the American heri-
tage," says the Christian Science Monitor
in thoughtful editorial on the Freedom
Train. "is the free Individual" The truth
thus brought into the focus of a single
sentence of only II words certainly re-
quires to be emphasized in a season when
in numerous countries abroad and among
at least few persons at home regimenta-
tion has been accepted as necessary
social principle. It is exactly in this es-
sential difference between the democracy
OF the United States and the liquidation
OF personal freedom in the Soviet Union
and its satellites that theological conflict
between ourselves and the Marxist Rus
slams arises. We hold men to be men as
individuals; the Communists contend that
men are important only in the mass.
Which is the wiser conception in terms
OF power to survive remains to be seen.

Not Yet Hopeless

Now that the gulf seems deeper than
ever between East and West, the world at
large must share the pessimism expressed
by French Foreign Minister Bidault in his
moving address to the General Assembly.
1t is pessimism rooted in this bleakly SIM
pie fact: If the Soviet veto continues to
paralyze the United Nations, or if-more
basically-Soviet policy and the policy of
the majority remain irreconcilable, the
U. N itself must eventually fall apart and
there can be no real peace. Instead, there
can be only an armed truce-a truce that
could explode into war of unparalleled
devastation in another twenty or thirty
years.
To be pessimistic in this sense however,
is not to suggest that the time is here to
abandon all hope. Mr.. Bidault has not
abandoned it. Though frankly admitting
a feeling of profound encouragement, he
has made clear that his own country's
policy is to keep on striving to attain the
ends of the United Nations He is not
alone in this, nor is France. Indeed it Is
difficult to believe that there Is any re-
spons1ble statesman or any sane govern
ment anywhere ready to quit the collective
effort to achieve collective security. The
existence of the U. N. is in danger, but
every one of its members has reason to
fear its dissolution. Not even the Soviet
Union can find pleasure in the present
prospect. For If that prospect does not
change for the better, then all powers must
feel insecure in world of hostile blocs.
Accordingly, Warren Austin, our chief
delegate to the U. NJ, has spoken common
sense in declaring that "If the United
Nations did not exist today, we would have
to create it." Even though it has been
immobilized by the veto, we and the whole
world still are desperately in need of it
desperately in need Of continuing and
affirmative effort to make it work. Per-
haps time will prove conclusively that such
an effort is hopeless, but it is too early
to assume that now. AS Mr.. Austin has
said, "the determined unity of the many
may ultimately win the cooperation of
the few. II the majority firmly ad-
heres to the great objectives Of the
Charter, believe we can work our way up
to unanimity" The effects of overwhelm-
ing outside moral pressure on the Kremlin
are not to be discounted.
BY coincidence, in the current issue of
Foreign Affairs, former Secretary of War
Stinson-one Of the wisest and most ex-
perienced of Americans-has offered the
same hopeful counsel, with emphasis also
on keeping the Nation strong until the
present danger passes. 1t Is good counsel.
Nothing could be worse at this stage than
despair. The United Nations has entered
upon critical days, but its possibilities are
by no means exhausted. No people or
government wanting peace-and all must
want tt-can afford to surrender now to
the feeling that decent and enduring
one is impossible. Given the will for it,
the way to it can be found
