Charles Is Statue

Some Americans may wonder why
the return of the statue Of Charles I
to Westminster should have been
greeted with cheers in Parliament,
but England would be something
less than England If such incidents
did not occur. Perhaps 1t Is because
"the worthiest of gentlemen" lost
his royal head to the purged Com
mons that he is remembered with
affection. Had he been permitted
to live out his days to a natural end.
he now might be as much forgotten
as his disagreeable father, James I.
The martyrdom inflicted upon him
still has a compelling attraction
after nearly three hundred years,
largely on account OF the mystery
which surrounded 1t while yet it
was happening.
True enough, Charles was respon-
sible for the outbreak Of the Second
Civil War in 1647 and the invasion
by the Scots which was halted at
Preston. But it is only a theory
that he was "the capital and grand
author" of all the domestic troubles
which afflicted Britain in his time.
The "baneful instrument" which
he chose to represent him in his
attempt to maintain his administra-
tion against the trend of the age
were lis undoing. Under the inf1u-
ence Of their mistakes, he moved to
his destruction, as one of his modern
biographers declares, like a charac-
ter in a Greek tragedy, "impelled by
the unseen and superior powers"
America was concerned with
Charles execution very much as
England was. His death had its
effect on this side of the Atlantic,
first because some of his friends
cams here and second because some
of his enemies subsequently followed
them. The patterns of thought
which the two parties severally
entertained still are discernible in
history and literature. Many living
citizens of the United States reflect
the Jacobite philosophy, probably
without realizing the fact. Others
undoubtedly still keep alive the
Cromwellian attitude of unwaverins
resistance, equally without being

Start Action Now

Since the defects which impelled
Health Department inspectors to
deny licenses to forty Government
cafeterias appear to be of a rela-
lively minor nature, it is unlikely
that the public health would suffer
materially if the cafeterias continue
to operate pending correction of the
defects. But the Federal Govern
n1ent owes it to its employees to see
. that there is no further delay in
taking whatever steps are necessary
to eliminate all potential health
hazards.
There has been too much delay
already in this matter. Although
Congress, by resolution of December
20, 1914, authorized District health
officials to inspect and license all
eating establishments on Federal
property Except, inexplicably, those
at the Capitol, it was not until
more than year later that the first
inspection of these places was un-
dertaken. At that time many of
them were told of shortcomings
mostly of structural nature-which
would have to be corrected before
they could be licensed under District
health laws. The most serious OBJ
lection raised by the inspectors was
regarding unprotected food displays
at some cafeteria counters.
After four months, which certainly
seems to be a reasonable period of
grace, the inspectors returned and
found that none of the changes
which they had recommended had
been made. So far as is publicly
known, no move was made by any
one during that period to start
action. 1t is true, as Manager Frank
w. Hoover of Government Services,
Incorporated, has pointed out, that
GsI is in difficult position in this
matter The alterations required to
meet health regulations involve, in
most instances, structural changes
which GSI is powerless to make.
Any changes of this sort come with
In the Jurisdiction of the Federal
Works Administration, which con-
trolls Federal buildings. And with
GsI under investigation by a con-
gressional committee, the FWA may
have felt disinclined to approve any
drastic alterations until the inquiry
was completed.
The fact remains, however. that
Government employees are no less
entitled to health protection than
the general public; that if CONNER
cial establishments are required to
comply rigidly and promptly with
the regulations, Federally sponsored
caf2terias also should be held strictly
to account. The appropriate Gov
ernment authorities should see to 1t
that proper measures are instituted
at once to make GSI and other
Federal employees lunchrooms as
safe as other restaurants in Wash
ington are required by law to be.

A Question of Authority

AS a member Of the United
Nations Yugoslavia, together with
nonmembers Albania and Bulgaria,
now appears determined to chal-
lenge the authority of the Security
Council. Some time ago, by a vote
of 8 to 0, with Russia and Poland
abstaining, the Council created a
special committee under the Balkans
Investigating Commission. This
committee was to play tsmporary
role of surveillance pending a final
decision on Greek charges of border
violations and outside interference
in Greece's internal affairs. To carry
out its duties the committee was to
be allowed to enter Yugoslavia,
Albania and Bulgaria, but they have
refused to grant this.
AS far as Yugoslavia is concerned,
the refusal seems clearly to violate
Article Is of the United Nations
Charter. The article binds every
member of the U. N. to agree to
accept and carry out the decisions
of the Security Council" In this
instance the Yugoslav government
has followed a line that may be
interpreted as defiance of the Coun-
ellis will. 1t may also be interpreted
as reluctance to have an interna-
tional body make an -the-spot in
spection in connection with the
Greek charges. Unless appear
ances are deceiving, this means that
Yugoslavia is bent on fiouting one
Of the key obligations of membership
in the U. N. AS for Albania and
Bulgaria, their attitude as nom
members does not increase their
chances of becoming members.
Russia apparently supports the
Yugoslav position that there is no
obligation to be met. Britain and
Evening star., 1947-05-10

the United States are reported to be
ready to bring the issue to . show
down before the Security Council.
The primary question is whether q
member OF the q. N. can block the
o-to-0 Council decision without do
ing violence to the U. N. Charter.
The British and American view Is
that the decision must be honored
If the Charter is to be honored.
Since the dispute bears Importantly
on the. future effectiveness OF the
United Nations, it ought to be set
tied without delay. The world needs
to know how far the Councils
authority extends in cases of this
sort and what is to be done when
governments refuse to abide by it.

Foolproof Cigarettes

Asking the cigarette manufacturers

vention Conference, now in session. Is
putting the cart before the horse The
cigarette makers ought to do something
themselves to reduce the deadly menace
from the seh-consuming cigarette.
The burning cigarette irresponsibly
handled Is as great potential fire
hazard as a discarded burning match,
but I daresay that the number Of fires
started from discarded matches is in
finitesimal compared to cigarette fires.
because q burning match is there for
you to see in all its potentiality, whereas

granted as OF slight consequence.

burns whether smoked or not. Why do
cigarettes have to be made this way?

Fares and Service

Those who listened to the teSti-
mony before the Public Utilities
Commission in behalf OF higher
transit fares were not surprised at
the action OF the PUG IN granting
an increase. The evidence OF dras-
tically declining revenues, threaten
ing the financial stability of the
Capital Transit Company and hence
its operating efficiency, was per-
suasive not only to members of the
commission but to representatives
of the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations and a number of other civic
groups.
The record showed that during the
ten years since the commission last
granted a fare increase the operat-
ing costs of the company have
mounted tremendously, despite per-
sistent economies, including one
man streetcars and reduced speeds.
The company's payroll rose approx
mately $3,250,00 a year as result
of the wage increases granted more
than year ago. Costs of equip
ment also have gone up steadily in
the past decade. Continued impair
ment of the company's earnings and
credit standing inevitably would lead
to curtailed and inefficient service
to the public.
The increase which the PUG has
approved with admitted reluctance"
is a moderate one, all things con-
sidered. The weekly pass rider, being
the most consistent customer, prop
erly is favored in the revision. The
streetcar and bus users OF Washing
ton are not likely to resent these
higher fares If they can be assured
that they mean better transit service.

The efigy OF the long vanished
sovereign certainly belongs in the
neighborhood where, on January 80,
l649, he nothing common did or
mean" but rather yielded up his life
smiling. Restored to its traditional
place, it symbolizes the contest be-
tween authoritarian conceptions,
however benign, and democratic
principles, even when they have
connotations OF error. Thus 1t is
useful in an era Of change involving
both schools of dogma.

No Overtime
By Gould LincoIa
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat

\ Dr. Quo Tai-chi, chairman Of the
United Nations Security Council,
brusquely interrupted a major debate
on the issue of United States aid for
Greece and Turkey, to inform delegates
that unless they quit at pm, the U. N.
would have to pay overt ti.1e to secre-
tarial employees. Unaninnity at last came
to the United Nations. Like any board
of Wall Street directors, they called Q
halt. And Soviet delegates offered no
veto. The capitalistic abhorrence Of
overtime doesn't deter the Marxmen
from shaving down costs. It Isn't prin-
ciple, it's the expense.

Colored Migration to Cities


TO the Fifor Of The Star:
The new plan fer redeeming the older
areas OF Washington for prosperous
business and desirable residents over
looks, or is silent on, vital civic prob
lem. There Is a decided migration of
colored people from the country in the
South to the cities. Washington Is in
the path of this trend.
The war has widened the horizon of
Negro veterans who before the war had
lived In the backwoods. The radio,
movies and desire for education have
attracted young colored people to the
cities. Despite public policy ghettoizing
Negroes, they still migrate from the
country and suburbs, where they can
not 60 to the movies, where there are
no recreation programs, and where they
are kept out of residences in the sani-
tary district planning.
Doesn't General Grant know that
there are practically no homes for
Negroes being projected In all Of North
ern Virginia, whereas thousands of
homes are in process for white citizens?
This building is enticing hundreds of
District residents. When new autos are
available and new homes are built, this
exodus from Washington will be in full
swing.
One solution to the problem that
threatens to plague the Capital City is
to adopt residential regulations within
the District limits in keeping with the
principles of democracy we want ex-
perimented with elsewhere in the world.
And unless Virginia, Maryland and other
Southern States treat the Negro citizen
as we'll as they have aliens and enemy
prisoners, our cities will continue to be
crowded with uneducated and at best,
generation of our badly adjusted citi-
zens of color. e. B. HENDERSON.
