Getting Cooperation

One of Senator McGraths first acts
as chairman of the Democratic National
Committee was to persuade his colleagues
to, tear up" a proposed resolution con-
demning the Republican controlled Con-
gress for having placed partisan politics
above love of country" and denouncing
the Republicans as "a bitter and intem-
perate majority"
Chairman McGrath, who is from Rhode
Island, is anxious to get cooperation from
the Republican majority, especially when
the Presidents emergency European aid
program is put before the special session.
And he has the idea, certainly not an un-
reasonable one, that name-calling Is q
poor way to enlist sympathy and support.
The Republicans, OF course, may or may
not respond to this gesture. But Mr..
McGrath, in notable contrast to some Of
his predecessors tactics, at least has made
his bid. 1t is bid which compares favor
ably with that of his COP opposite num-
Der, Carroll Reece, whose participation
in the exchange of pleasantries has con-
sisted of a reference to Mr.. McGrath as

To Build the u. Ms Home

1t seems doubtful that Congress will be
able to find any good reason to object to
the administrations proposal for an Gin
terest-free" Treasury loan to finance the
construction of the United Nations sky
scraper home in Manhattan.
As revealed in letter to Secretary Gen.
eral Trygve Lie by Warren Austin, our
chief delegate to the U. NJ, the proposal
calls for an advance of $65, ,000, 900 to coYer
excavation and building costs. This would
be paid back-probably in yearly install
ments-by the member nations, including
the United States. Presumably each ma
tion would be assessed in proportion to its
national income. This means that our own
country-more specifically the taxpayers
of America-would pay the greatest share
of expenses, in addition to absorbing the
interest charges.
On several grounds this seems to be an
altogether fair and sound arrangement.
To begin with, assessment according to ma
tional income is reasonable and estab-
lished practice of the United Nations.
Moreover, it is only fitting that the United
States should pay the major share in view
OF such considerations as these: "a Amer
leans will receive nearly all the money to
be spent on the labor and materials needed

American officers, who curtly says Utter
nonsense"
As for the conduct OF the trial, 1t lives
up to the best totalitarian Peoples Court"
procedure. The accused have been given
virtually no time to prepare their defense,
the witnesses they designate vanish or are
not required to appear, the lawyers they
choose excuse themselves from serving. To
cap the climax, the presiding Judge was
formerly employed in the same capacity by
the wartime Fascist regime, and he Is
showing the same partiality and brow
beating tactics as when he tried Commu-
nists liberals and other enemies of Fascist
oppression.
After all this. nothing more need be said
except that the Romanian satellite regime
is setting new record for Communist
injustice The outcome of the trial is, Of
course, foregone conclusion.

to build the headquarters. t2> With the
headquarters conveniently located on our
own soil, the travelling and other expenses
of our delegation will be much less than
those of most other members. And (3)
the membership of the U. N. as a whole
must do large part of It's spending within
our borders.
Thus, even from narrow dollars and
cents viewpoint, the loan proposal makes
sense. Since excavation is scheduled to
begin December l. President Truman will
have to seek congressional approval at the
earliest possible date. AS practical mat
ter and as matter of principle, assuming
that the General Assembly agrees to the
arrangement, there seems to be little or
no reason why favorable action should
run into any great delay.

No Guin for the Public

The liberal wage award by an arbitra-
ton board to forty-fve hundred employees
of the Capital Transit Company Is quite
victory for the workers. Assuming, how
ever, that arbitration awards should con-
slider the public interest, it is hard to see
how the public interest will be served by
the decision, For the public, or that part
of 1t forced to rely on Capital Transit
streetcars and buses for transportation, Is
certain to feel the adverse effects of the
fifteen cents -an-hour wage increase and
supplemental fringe benefits won by the
employees.
1t does not take a trained Statistician to
read the import of the cost figures cited,
even allowing for the probability that the
S2,310,0O0-a- year estimate of the company
is maximum approximation. Declining
revenues in recent months have led COM
pany spokesmen to assert that some way
must be found to increase the income and
that another fare increase seems inevita-
BILE. That drab picture was drawn before
the wage increase was announced. Ac-
cording. to company figures, the net
income for the first nine months of this
year amounted to $246,000 The wage
award, made retroactive to July /, wipes
out this net profit and leaves the CTC
far on the red side of the ledger Thus,
the company finds itself in even worse
financial condition than when the Public
Utilities Commission granted the fare in
crease of last May.
The financial condition of the Capital
Transit Company is not only of concern
to those who have invested in it, but to
every patron. A financially ailing public
utility cannot be expected to render the
type of service which the public has a
right to demand. Only strong company
can hope to keep its equipment up to date,
to maintain adequate schedules and to
expand with the needs of the city.
There are two ways in which the COM
pany can meet the additional cost of the
latest wage award. The simplest and
easiest way is Immediately to pass the cost
on to the customers through increased
fares. The more difficult method is to
effect economies of operation sufficient to
Offset the wage increase. The easiest way
is not the best way from the public stand
point-and the public Is entitled to some
consideration in this matter.
Higher fares should be seriously con-
sidered only after the company and the
Public Utilities Commission have explored
every possible avenue of economy. If this
means some curtailment of service, that
would be preferred by most patrons to
boosted fares. De luxe bus service may
have to be discontinued, for example The
express line to Mount Rainier, criticized
by some citizens in that area, is an extra
service that costs extra money. Admin
istrative savings may be possible. If such
economy studies do not produce the addi-
tional revenues needed to meet the new
wage scale and maintain operating eff
cheney, then. the alternative of a fare
increase can be taken up. But fare in
crease should be the last resort in seeking
a solution of this problem.

ArIinqton's 'Rouqh' Cumpoiqn

The voters of nearby Arlington will 20
to the polls tomorrow to elect State and
county officials. 1t would be we'll If the
Arlington campaign-the first in the
county's history to include candidates for
an elected school board-could be viewed
by voteless Washingtonians as a model to
be admired and longed for. Unfortunately,
however, there has been injected into some
of the contests, notably those for the
school board and State Senate, a degree
of mud-slinging by innuendo and similar
tactics such as Arlington has not witnessed
for many years.
According to the Arlington Sun, which
has kept in close touch with political
developments, Republican leader sounded
keynote some weeks ago which has been
taken too literally by some members of
the party and which has been adopted,
as well, by some campaigners outside the
partys ranks. This leader was quoted by
the Sun as warning his co-workers that
they had been conducting IAN entirely too
ladylike" campaign and that 1t was time
to get little rough" The effect of this
advice has been evident in the campaign
of the Republican candidate for State
Senate, who has resorted repeatedly to
innuendo and insinuation in highly per-
sonalized attacks on his Democratic
opponent.
Nor has the Inauguration of Arlington's
elected school board system been con-
Quoted on the high plane which the
voters have a right to expect in nom
partisan election campaign. The Greater
Arlington Association, backing the So
called old-line slate of nominees, has
resorted too often to negative criticism
and innuendoes against the opposition
instead of dealing with the real issue of
better schools. The GAAs press agent
even issued a press release last week
declaring that charges of vicious political
frauds" were being filed against its oppo-
nents at offices of the County Election
Board and the Commemorative attorney.
The frauds" 1t was explained, consisted
of claims by the opposition candidates
that they had the support Of fifty-one
county organizations. The GAA later
withdrew the release and no Charges"
ever were filed.
The campaigns for other Offices, it is
gratifying to note, have been conducted
on a higher plane. Generally speaking,
bona fide issues have been discussed and
personal invective avoided. Arlington's
voters, old as well as new, should not be
confused by irrelevant charges, false issues
or smear tactics. They will not be con-
fused II they concern themselves only
with legitimate issues and the known
qualifications of each candidate.

Aid Without Bossinq

| One of the important problems inherent
| in the Marshall plan is how to put that
! plan to work without making the United
States seem at the same time to be bent
on interfering in the internal affairs Of
| the sixteen nations cooperating In the
| project
The Soviet Union already has let loose
with a propaganda barrage describing the
plan as nothing less than an American
effort to violate the sovereignty OF other
countries, to boss them around, in order
to carry out the white HouseWall Street
plot" for world domination. Here in our
own land, this will be readily recognized
as colossal lie, but its potential appeal
to peoples elsewhere can be serious II
special care is not taken to supervise our
projected European aid in a way that will
not lend plausibility to the Russian line.
So important is this matter that the
sixteen Marshall plan nations are reported
to have made it the subject of an aide
memoire to the State Department. OF
course, from the standpoint Of the United
States, there will have to be some kind
of supervision and some set of special
conditions to guard against the misuse or
waste of the billions of dollars to be ex-
pended. This is clearly understood by the
countries cooperating with U.S. They do
not want blank check. They are we'll
aware that it is essential for them to
obligate themselves to undertake certain
measures of self-help and to meet neces-
sary requirements fixed by u.s.. But what
they are anxious to avoid-and we should
be anxious to avoid it, too-is any super
visory or control arrangements that could
be easily distorted by the Soviet propa-
gandists. The methods we are following
in Greece, for example, though imperative
and though urgently requested by the
Greek government, cannot be followed in
carrying out the long term Marshall pro-
gram. II they were, the Russians could
make all sorts of capital out of the charge
that America is trying to boss the world.
What will be needed-when. as and If
Congress approves the Marshall plan-will
be specific agreements leaving no room for
doubt about the main objective of the
whole undertaking. That objective, as the
United States knows and as the sixteen
cooperating countries know, is simply
this: To save Western civilization from
collapse and to promote the security and
peace of the world through the economic
recovery of our friends in Europe. Such
a program cannot be conditionless, but it
can be worked out and operated in a
manner that will cut the ground from
under what the Soviet Union is saying.
1t is vital that this aspect of the prob
lem be accorded the most careful treat
ment When Congress debates and acts
upon the Marshall plan, it will do well to
keep constantly in mind that any condi-
tions to be attached to our aid must be
reasonable and strictly limited. They must
not play into Russias hand. They must
not appear to place us in the position of
bossing any country around. If they do,
then the program will be failure from
the start, and the consequences will be as
grave for us as for the world at large

Romoniun Treason TrioI

The start of the treason trial in Romania
suggests strongly that Moscow's satellite
regimes are engaged in friendly rivalry
to see which can surpass the others in
mendacious effrontery.
The defendants are, DR.. Juliu Manu-,
veteran leader of the Romanian Peasant
Party, and eighteen Others mostly mem
bers of the same organization. But the
real villains of the piece are American and
British diplomatic and military officers,
formerly stationed in Romania as members
of the Allied Control Commission. They
are indirectly charged with having en-
couraged DR.. Manu- and the others in
plot to overthrow the Communist-domi-
mated government by armed force. This
Is the gravamen of the indictment for
high treason and espionage on behalf of
the United States and Great Britain
Most of the supporting evidence" is
contained in a voluminous confession
made by one of the accused. This former
friend and colleague of DR.. Manu-, man
named Serdici, during months of imprison-
ment and secret-police Interrogation"
has seen the light Repenting of his
Grimes" he now dramatically denounces
his former chief and tells story which,
as characterized by an American news
paperman covering the trial, sounded like
something out of Arthur Koestler's Dark
ness at Noon" The two American Army
officers acting under General Schuyler, the
American member of the commission, are
described as loose talking CLOAK and
dagger: experts who boasted that they
were in charge of all subversive organiza-
tions in Southeastern Europe. and who
promised to supply the conspirators with
counterfeit Romanian currency, dollars,
Swiss francs, and other American support
at the moment when the plotters were
ready to swing into action. In addition,
the prosecution charges the existence
among Dr. Maniu's secret papers of letter
from former United States Undersecretary
of State Dean Acheson purportedly dis
suading Dr. Manu- from using violence "at
this moment" The best description of this
farrago Is that by one of the accused
