It Works Both WAYS

City Manager Benson does well to start
a campaign for safety in traffic during the
Christmas rush and to remind the police that
pedestrians have the right of way over
motorists at crossings. But Mr.. Benson would
do even better to issue an appeal to pedes-
trians to remain rigidly within their rights
and not infringe upon the equally reason
able rights of motorists at intersections
Mutual courtesy on the part of both per-
sons afoot and drivers of motor vehicles
throughout the year-not merely during the
heavier traffic incident to Christmas shop
pin-would do much to minimize the hazard
OF accident at downtown street crossings
Without defending careless motorists who
swing around corners at too high speed, it is
timely to note that many pedestrians, know
ing they have the right of way loiter on in
tersections or, as the amber light shows,
move out into the street and take a stand
there until the red turns to green blocking
the way of motor cars seeking passage on
their proper signal
The police are fully justified in urging
loiterers afoot and these stree. blockers to
move on

Royal May Step Up

AS Of today, the appointment of Secre-
tary of the Army Kenneth Royal of North
Carolina to succeed the Secretary of De-
tense, James V. Forrestal, is in the rurnor
stage. But it has been known for some time
that Mr.. Forrestal, is anxious to return to
MS private business, and the dispatch from
washington noting the probability of Mr..
Royalfs elevation, declares this anxiety is
increasing
AS MIR. Royal is in the good graces of the
administration and long proved his effici-
ency IN military affairs while under secre-
tary with Secretary of War Robert P. Pat
terson, ne is the logical selection for the high
post now filled by Mr.. Forrestal If the pro-
motion falls to his lot, as it should, Mr..
Royall will take his place in the Presidents
CABINET, distinction he has not enioyed as
Secretary of the Army.

TaylOr's Last Roundup

The day before Congress reconvened. Sen.
Glen Taylor of Idaho, dressed in checkered
shirt, cowboy pants, boots and sombrero
RODE horse up to the Capitol steps. Their
ne told small group of passing sightseer
that ne had just completed nationwide
peace tour-part of it on horseback.
1t will be recalled that Senaor Taylor ha
given non-senatorial shows on Capitol Hill
before. Two years ago, when he first came
TO the Senate, he brought his family and his
guitar up there and sang the housing bluei
because he couldn't find place to live. Bu
he seems to have confined himself to the
spoken word on his recent tour.
"A voice for peace must have some de-
vice to attract attention." he said, in ex
planning the rodeo costume and the horse
Peace, it seems, does not make the heao
lines''
Now peace is not word that requires
elaborate definition. But in order to 60 along
with the senator on that statement, IN tn'
face of contrary evidence of actions ahe
sentiments, it might be necessary to Kno"
what he means.
| We do not have transcripts OF the sever
speeches which the senator made on nj
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-11-24

tour. But his veiws on foreign policy in the
recent past have seemed to agree generally
with Henry Wallace's. So, perhaps, he really
means that Sen. Glen Taylor's prescription
for peace is not headline news.
Evidently Mr.. Taylor does not think that
the Marshall Plan is plan for peace, or his
remark about the headlines could not have
been made.
Hunger, proverty, unemployment and 9TH
er aspects of econimic instability lead to
political instability. That, in turn is an in
vitation to civil war and international war.
An effort to remove these war-breedlng
conditions could logically be called an ef-
fort in the cause of peace. But the senator
from Idaho seems to think otherwise.
Maybe he was deceived by the oratroy OF
Mr., Vishinsky and other excited RUSSIAN
advertisers of American inaamy. They keep
harping on American war-mongerlng and l1n-
rerialism. But, stripped Of their verDlage'
their speeches are largely taken up WIN
Russsiass, strength to meet an imaginary
+hreat-Russia's historic defeat of invaders,
her great record in World War II, her vigil
lance, her alleged discovery OF the atomic
bomb secret, and so on. One might say 'na'
they are doing a bit of left-handed war
mongering themselves.
If such harangues have misled the sena-
tor into believing that he is one of the few
American spokesmen opposed to war, we
earnestly hope that he will sit down and
read the Russian diplomats speeches more
carefully. If they are not the basis Tor MS
tour, then it is difficult to escape the un-
flattering conclusion that it is Sen. Glen lay
1or who must have some device to attract
attention and make the headlines.

troll of Eastern Germany is
squarely based on ruthless ter
ror, and has the total exploita-
ton of Eastern Germany, both
political and economic, as its
purpose. For the present, the
Soviets cannot conceivable be
persuaded to start afresh.
All four zones of Germany still
use reichsmarks printed by
the Allies as their currency. But
the currency is on the verge of
losing all value, except as sort
of official scrip for buying Off
cial rations.
A large part of the trouble
has been caused by the Soviets.
They were negligently given
dies to print reichsmarks by our
Treasury. They have printed un-
counted billions, to pay their
troops, to ''buy" industries for
Soviet account, and to meet all
other occupation charges. They
have consistently refused to
agree to Germany-wide cur
rency reform. A stage of acute
danger has now been reach
ed. If the valueless reichsma arks
are not soon replaced with
money having some value, there
is likelihood of a general
catastrophe. There is also the
certainty that the effort to re-
build Gernany's economic life
will fail. Therefore the task of
currency reform must begin at
once, and begin separately in
the Anglo-American and French
zones.
Issuance of a separate cur
rency for the Anglo-American
and French zones will of course
be practically equivalent to the
division of Germany into wholly
separate political entities. But
this is not the only way in which
time presses.
There are no fully responsible
governmental authorities in
Western Germany today. The
economic council of the Anglo
American zones and the various
land governments can make
decisions. But being known
to be impermanent, they cannot
fully enforce their will. Thus
far, the rationing system has
continued to assure the great
majority of Germans slender
subsistence. But leaks in the
dyke, little everywhere and
some big as in the Ruhr, long
ago began to appear.
In short the rationing system
must be quickly sustained and
strengthened, as must the whole
administrative machine by
which Germany will be rebuilt.
But the Western powers can
not adopt the blood-stained
methods of the police state to
carry out their decisions in Ger
many. The job can only be done
in the last analysis, by the Ger
mans themselves. And this re-
quires a still further step. 1t is
now urgent not only to give the
Germ ans of the West a currency

Intellectual instability

Men who depend upon their spoken words
to win public favor, particularly the men
who seek political office, have as a rule a
set program to which they adhere with the
fidelity of dogs for their masters. They are
careful to shape everything they say wheth-
er to reporters or before general audiences.
to the pattern OF their programs, especially
avoiding side remarks which might be in
correctly or completely distorted,
We remember reading that Lincoln. en-
route to Gettysburg, was asked by an ebu,-
lient soul for his opinion on some incon-
sequential subject, to whom Lincoln replied
that he could make no comment in the fret
place because he had no settled opinion m
the matter and in the second no assurance
he would be correctly quoted.
Then too we remember Maude Adams
performance as Portia in The Merchant of
Venice, when Otis Skinner stole the show
as Shylock. In the great court scene, Miss
Adams, who had made great name for her
self on the American stage and was an ac-
tor of noble parts, seemed to view Portals
arguments and logic as something that came
spontaneously to mind as she faced the
court, whereas even casual reading of the
lines would indicate that Portia had de-
veloped her defense, as any great attorney
would do after deeply pondering the charge
and arriving ultimately at the only logical
wav to circumvent the prosecution. Her
Portia, therefore was unconvincing.
The republicans have one aspirant for the
presidential nomination who seems to view
