being "a mere financier, q contriver of
taxes, dealer In loans" and, despite wars
with England and the Barbary pirates and
many difnculties with Napoleon, he sue
ceeded in setting an example of frugality
and wise management of money. Then,
between 1914 and 1927, he was on diplo-
matte assignments In Europe, meeting the
ministers OF Russia, France and Britain
on their own ground and deserving their
respect on equal terms.
When he returned home it was to devote
himself to new activities in banking and
education. He was president of the Ma
tional Bank of New York and coincident-
ally president OF the American chronological
Society From his pen flowed books and
pamphlets on currency problems, tariff
questions, industrial issues-and on the
linguistic geography of the Indian peoples
OF North America His writings on this
aforementioned theme prove him to have
been the forerunner of Dr. Daniel G. Brin-
ton and Major J. w. Powell in the mapping
and systematic study OF the Indians.
So, whether he be considered as states
man, an envoy, businessman or a creative
scholar, Gallatin was a citizen of whom
the people of his adopted country we'll may
be proud. His monument, given by ap-
preciators of his genius, should have been
raised long ago. World War II was the
latest OF several accidents which delayed 1t.

Gallatin is proper acknowledgment OF
his merits, but 1t also is a reminder of the
utility of study of his contributions to the
Government of the United States. Born
In Geneva, Switzerland, January 20, 1851,
he came to America in 1880 and settled In
Fayette County, Pennsylvania, when that
territory was trackless wilderness. But so
notable were his gifts of intelligence that
he soon found himself the spokesman of
the pioneer democracy which accidentally
he had joined. The hrst phase of his career
was parliamentary in character. He served
in the State Legislature, the national Senate
and, finally, as the leader of the Republican
minority in the House of Representatives,
crusading for strict accountability on the
part of the Executive.
The share he played in the election of
Thomas Jefferson won him appointment as
the fourth Secretary of the Treasury-a
position which he held until May, 1918.
Modern historians credit him with bring

several departments. He strove to avoid

SIicine Our Own Breed

The baking industry's voluntary CO.
operation in saving wheat will depend for
its effectiveness, Mr.. Luckman says, on an
equal amount of cooperation from the
American housewife and the public eating
places
Such cooperation should be counted on
In advance. The important thing Is to
make 1t count by program that every
body will understand. Last week, for ex-
ample, there was much cooperation from
food shoppers who reduced their purchase
of bread. But it did not count. AS nothing
else had been planned up to that time to
cut down on bread deliveries, the waste of
bread increased over previous weeks.
A practical method of saving bread
would be the sale, in the District, of a
half-pound loaf. Standard size of bread
loaves in Washington is one pound. The
law requires that bread be sold by half
pound, pound or multiples of half
pound. The weight of the loaf of bread
cannot be reduced, except by act of Con-
gress. 1t is impractical, bakers say, to
bake single half-pound loaf. The same
amount of equipment Is required for half
the volume. But 1t is practical to bake
two half-pound loaves in pan and sell in
half-pound loaves.
But here we run up against another COM
plication. Bakeries slice their bread. The
equipment is fooled for slicing pound
loaves. Two half-pound loaves cannot be
sliced without retooling. But If the house
wife will accept an unsliced half-pound
loaf, the solution is there
During the war she would not do this.
The OPA tried it and the protests over
having to slice bread at home reached such
proportions that the OPA backed down
within a few weeks and rescinded the order.
Maybe that was because of OPA's un-
popularity. Maybe 1t would not happen
again. Certainly any one who protests
the arduous business of slicing a loaf of
bread, in order to save wheat for people
who face grim starvation for lack of bread,
does not deserve to be taken very seriously:
half loaf of unsliced bread would, the
bakers say be better bread Ready-sliced
bread does not have the flavor of the
bread that mother used to bake. And If
Mr.. Luckman and his coworkers in the
business of saving wheat for starving
people ask the great American public to
slice it's own bread for time, the response
would not disappoint him. We can take it!
We are tough people! We can, in an
emergency, slice our own bread!

'GombIinq' in Groin

TO put 1t mildly, President Truman
seems to be on decidedly weak ground in
attributing much of the current rise in
food prices to gambling" on the grain
exchanges. This savors of the timeworn
Whlpplng-boy technique-the old practice
OF blaming the spectators, of figuratively
beating them over the head, for faults that
are not basically theirs. 1t is convenient
way to help explain problems like imitation,
but it simply is not accurate. On the con-
trary, 1t Is gross oversimplihcation that
reflects poorly on the administration
Judgment and sense of fairness
Actually, as matter of pure economic
theory, cogent argument can be made for
the thesis that prices are steadied by the
regular speculation of traders who buy
and sell grain in terms of future delivery in
such key commodity markets as those of
Chicago and Kansas City. All theory to
one side, moreover, it seems fairly demon
strable that other forces-not private
"gamblers'-are primarily responsible for
the fact that wheat has risen within recent
days to bit more than three dollars a
bushel. At the bottom of these forces, of
course, is the law of supply and demand
involving such things as the effects of
heavy exports on the domestic price trend
But beyond that the Government itself
appears to be the chief factor in the
situation.
Thus, as Henry Hazlitt observes in the
current issue of Newsweek, the Govern
ment, under the price-support policy made
mandatory by Congress, is obliged to lend
the farmer 30 per cent OF parity on his
wheat. This amounts at present to $208
bushel at Chicago; 1t is a guarantee to
the trader that the price will go no lower
at this time though 1t can keep ascending
anywhere above that. AS Mr. Hazlitt SAYS
this obviously is an official invitation to
speculation. The speculation, 1t is true
has been reduced sharply by the Presidents
recent order increasing the requirements
for trading On margin, but wheat has
nevertheless gone up twenty-five cents
since then. 1t has gone up because the
Government has entered the market in
the meantime to buy 100000 bushels.
In the words of a Chicago Board of Trade
official, this is understandable, for when
any government buys as much in two weeks
as 1t ofen shipped in an entire season, ut
is bound to have It's effect marketwise"
Other facets of Federal policy could be
cited as infiationary influences, and it may
well be-as a practical matter-that the
Government cannot avoid exercising such
influences at time when demand presses
urgently against supply. What it can avoid,
however, is essentially unfair and factually
unjustified charges of the sort made by
the President. The grain traders have
good reason to resent having themselves
pictured to the country as gamblers"
largely responsible for the high cost of
living. 1t is not for nothing that they
welcome the Attorney Generals inquiry
into their operations and feel sure that
they will be absolved.

his opinion, even such rupture need not
necessarily lead to World War III, "pro-
vided one Of these worlds Is far more
powerful than the other, and is also sin
cerely desirous Of maintaining peace" He
believes that the resulting Soviet bloc
would be the weaker OF the two, assuming
that the rest of the world held together.
Indeed" he argues, "the two great sys-
TENS might even begin to be polite with
one another and speak again the measured
language Of diplomacy"
In these days Of waxing tension and
chronic crisis, Mr. Churchills words have
a hopeful ring. We can only hope that
his reasoning is sound and that his vision
at this crucial moment is clear,

Improved Penmunship

1t is encouraging to read occasionally
that some school system has decided to do
something about improving the handwrit-| =
Ing OF its pupils. There is nothing available
to date regarding the handwriting of
teachers and professors. The late Dr.
Alfred E. Richards head of the English
department in the University of New
Hampshire, was fond of story that
illustrates the danger inherent in pen
manship. One of the compositions turned
in was so poorly written that he scratched
across the top in red pencil, Write more
legibly." After the papers were passed
back puzzled pupil approached and asked
him what was written in red pencil
One may sympathize with teachers who
plan their work to require minimum of
writing. 1t is true that typewriters are a
great invention. However, 1t does seem that
for long period to come people will need
to communicate thoughts in handwriting.
Along with reasonable amount of en-
phasis on the multiplication tables, a
speaking acquaintance with some pertinent
geographical facts and a knowledge of how
to spell some of the demons of our Ian
guage, it would seem not-unWorthy use
of time to develop technique of writing
which could be read. Until the world gets
over its jitters and society shakes down to
working compromises, battling codes will
play a role in what we hesitatingly call
contemporary civilization. But to build
toward better world our educators should
not permit students to develop hand
writing codes too early. That should be
prerogatiye of maturity

Churchill on 1.-TWO Worlds"

Anything that Winston Churchill says
on the international situation is worthy
of attention because of his authoritative
knowledge in that field and also because
of the prescience he has often shown con-
corning international trends.
His latest address, last Tuesday, was de-
livered by transcription from Britain to an
American audience in New York City, and
Mr.. Churchill took the occasion for a
Enthusiastically frank exposition of his
views concerning the outstanding issue of
the day-the attitude and policy of the
Soviet government, and the counter-ac-
tions which would seem to be required on
the part of the Western democracies.
Broadly speaking, Mr.. Churchills thesis
was one of qualified optimism. He believes
that the very violence of Soviet polemics
against the West is evidence that the
masters of the Soviet Union do not con-
template immediate war with the western
powers. Otherwise, he thinks that they
would adopt the Hitlerian tactic of lulling
their enemies into sense of false security
before attempting to deal decisive blow
Mr.. Churchill's guess is that this polemical
campaign may be in large part motivated
by need felt to "perpetuate their rule by
representing to the otherwise blindfolded
masses of the brave and good hearted
Russian people that the Soviet govern
ment stands between them and repe-
tition OF the horrors of invasion" Never
theless, Mr.. Churchill admits that this is
only hypothesis and advises the democ-
racies to remain strong, to be ever vigil
liant, and not to abandon hope in the ex-
pertinent of the United Nations
The most interesting high light of the
address is what Mr.. Churchill has to say
concerning the eventuality of q Soviet
withdrawal from the U. N. Given q de-
termined stand by the western powers
against Soviet aggression, he considers it
quite possible that Moscow may decide to
quit the U. NJ organization" Then,
there would be what is called two worlds,
and we should all be sorry to see that"
However, Mr.. Churchill does not view
this prospect with black pessimism. In

Riverdale Express Buses

Riverdale Express Buses
To the Editor OF The Star:
There appeared in The Star on October 8 4
letter signed by "A Commuter," concerning
the experimental express buses Capital Transit
now Is operating between Riverdale and down.
town washington via West Hyattsville and
Peace Cross and Mount Rainier The writer
indicates he lives in Cheverly and implies there
is no need to operate the service between
Mount Rainier and Riverdale. Also he asks
that the public be given 10-cent ride direct
to Mount Rainier where passengers can trans
fer for local streetcars and buses.
"A Commuter" evidently does not under
stand the type of express service we are operat-
ing, and the blame for this can only rest on us
for doing poor job Of publicizing it. "A Com
muter" can board any streetcar or bus in the
District, pay q regular 10-cent fare and obtain
transfer to the express He presents the
transfer and another dime to the operator
and rides to Mount Rainier. When he gets to
Mount Rainier, he can continue on the bus or
transfer as he chooses Or, If he likes. he can
ride to Mount Rainier on the regular locM
service from downtown without an extra fare,
The express saves 40 minutes in travelling
time to and from Mount Rainier 1t does not
have the advantages as far as the company is
Co1ACClLcu, VI Ou-dLlQ-Ou JTdVSl, LnuS a higher
fare must be charged. AS to the routes after
the line leaves Mount Rainier, one branch
operates via West Hyattsvile and the other via
Peace Cross. Neither goes near the route of
the streetcar after 1t leaves Mount Rainier until
they both join again at Riverdale One of the
reasons they operate through these bypass
areas Is because Of the demands made by people
in these sections for faster more direct service
downtown.
The express service is a preferred service
which the people in no other area enjoy. It has
a twofold purpose of trying to attract those
who now use their own autos and those who
are willing to pay for what they get without
asking others to pay part of the COST The COM
pany has hopes of breaking even on the cost
OF the service. As it is the line is losing money
and after reasonable time, II it does not
attract more riders, we will discontinue it as
having been something worth trying but evi-
IDENTIFY not sufficiently more attractive to "A
Commuter" in its time-saving and extra COM
fort characteristics over the regular service
from Mount Rainier and its adjoining COM
munities. E. D. MERRILL,
President, Capital Transit Co.

the fare boost with better grace. That

by the commission on its grant. The fare

understanding that If "the respondent
does not provide adequate service within
reasonable time after the new fares
become effective" the commission will take
further appropriate action"
The ICC ignored recommendations of its
own examiner in deciding to grant virtu-
ally everything asked by the bus company
The examiner had heard much testimony
regarding alleged irregular expense items
charged against operating funds. The ICC
held that the company had made a per-
suasive showing that it could not continue
in business without more income. The

The commission failed to specify how
long a period must elapse before any
failure by the company to improve its
service will be regarded as beyond the
reasonable deadline. Nor did it indicate
what 1t considers to be "adeuuate" service
If it is to carry out its basic purpose of
protecting the public interest, however, it
will keep an eye on this important Virginia
busline to see if the better service proviso
of it's fare order is properly adhered to.
