This Changing World
By Constantine BrotCn

The renewed Nationalist efforts to
negotiate peace in China which followed
Gen. Marshalps critical analysis of
China's plight is the source of small
qualification to Washington policy max
ing officials, and whatever optimism
about peace they inspired has now been
dispelled by the Communists rejection
of Markings overtures.
The call by Gen. Marshall to the
liberals in both major Chinese fac
tions found favorable reaction in diverse
Chinese circles, but there is no con-
vincing evidence yet that the Demo-
cratic League will be able to rally
around it elements from both the Kuo-
mintang ard the Communist Party
which will provide the strength neces-
sary for the middle -the-road groups
to take power.
The National Government at Marking
resumed it's attempts to draw the Com
munists into new peace discussions,
designating for this purpose Gen. Chang
Chih-chung, governor of Shantung
province, whose association with Gen.
Marshall's work is regarded as. fitting
him better for this task than others
who have undertaken missions to
Yenan.
But the appeals to the Communists
remained on the personal plane, depend
ent on the personalities of the men in
volved, and was marked by no notice
able moderation of the demands OF
either side.
This lack of basic change which would
facilitate pacification is nowhere evil
denced more strongly than in the un-
compromising reaction of Gen. Chou
En-lai, the Communist leader, who as
sailed Gen. Marshall's idea of a liberal
government under the leadership OF
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek and
charged that Gen. Chang himself was
the leader of the Kuomintang reac-
tionaries who bore the brunt OF Gen.
Marshall's criticisms.
Meanwhile Chinese Russian issues
over Manchuria persist, with the Rus
slams continuing to hold Dairen, the
port of entry into Manchurla. and
the Chinese waiting nearby to take over
as soon as they can persuade the Rus
slams to leave.
There is some speculation in Wash
ington that the appointment OF Gen.
Marshall as Secretary of State in time
for the Council of Foreign Ministers
meeting in Moscow in March presages
the start there of discussions involv-
ing the Japanese peace treaty and the
ancillary situation in China.
AS matter of fact, Gen. Marshall
is more qualified by his recent back
ground and experience to discuss the
Far East with the Russians than the

Why the Hard Way?

One way to waste the taxpayers
money is to do things the hard way.
Since the trend at last seems to be
in the direction of economizing
rather than spending Government
funds unnecessarily, the time is ripe
for money-and-tim saving short
cut proposed by Arlington's post
master, Charles F. Simpson.
Adhering to tradition, the Post
Office Department has been han
ding mail between Arlington and its
next-door neighbor, Alexandria, the
hard way for years. Instead of truck
ing the mail over the short dis
tance from one area to the other,
the practice is to send the collection
to the Washington City Post Office,
where it is rerouted back across the
Potomac. The trip to and from
Alexandria is by train, which occa-
sions further delays. Mail between
Falls Church and Alexandria also
follows this long route.
During the Christmas holiday rush
the congestion became so great that
departmental permission was OBJ
tanned to substitute direct delivery
for the roundabout Washington cir
cult. Since the shortcut worked
we'll during the emergency period,
there IS no reason why it would not
work equally as we'll at other times.
When the National Airport was es-
tablished, the Post Office Depart
ment authorized the Virginia sta
tions to send airmail direct to the
airport, instead of by way of Wash
ington. This was sensible step in
the interest of eXpediting the mails
and eliminating unnecessary ham
ding. The suggestion of the Airing
ton postmaster that Washington also
be bypassed on mail traffic between
the two contiguous Virginia areas is
no less sensible and practicable. The
reform should be instituted without
further delay.

Prices and Government Costs

cline along with prices for time and
that the national income will again
lag for a while. That means less
income to tax and less chance for q
20 ger cent cut on individual income
taxes. The Republican decision to keep
the excise taxes is wise. Taxes on
luxuries may we'll remain where they
are for the time being, until things
clear bit.
1t may have been in the minds Of
Mr.. Truman's advisers that the COM
Portable increase in tax returns in 1916
was due to much greater military
expenditures than were anticipated a
year ago. That certainly was the case.
But if progress in disarmament brings
down military costs this year, reverse
effect will be felt. This Is another
reason for caution.
n 4 -
The Republicans simply cannot run
the risk of an unbalanced budget.
There haves been too many promises.
And disappointment in their perform
ance will bring renewed hope to Mr..
Truman for 1948-despite his own
promises. The Republicans have the
most to lose now. They came in on
a wave of high prices. They must
successfully ride the price declines.
Above all, this situation calls for
serious. even drastic cuts in the budget.
The best politics and the best man
agement would be to leave no political
item in the budget. There will be out
cries by protected people. but nothing
like the uproar which would come In
the cold dawn Of 1913 If things are
still in the red And any Senators who
f1arbor Presidential ambitions at that
moment viii be poor material for the
nomination.

Mr.. Minnigerode Retires

On June /, 1892, C. Powell Mimi
gerode conceivably might have
found job in any of half Dozen
Government departments or in a
bank or clothing store or a grocery.
He was lad fifteen years of age-
looking for work. The place where
he found it was the structure now
known as the Court of Claims Build
ing at the corner of Pennsylvania
avenue and Seventeenth street.
Neither he himself nor any other
person could guess that his first
employment as a clerk under the
curator of the Corcoran Gallery was
to lead him into career of service
to art extending through more than
half century.
But such was his destiny. Grad
ually, step by step, season by season,
Mr.. Minnigerode advanced to the
veritable top in his chosen pro-
fession. BY 1904 he was assistant
director, in 1915 he became the ad
ministrative head of the Gallery,
now in 1947 he becomes its director
emeritus. His story through the
five and half decades represented
in this chronology has been the story
of a great American institutions
progress. BY his labors the benefac-
ton which properly still bears the
name of w. w. Corcoran has been
enriched. Under his management
the generous gifts of Senator and
Mrs. william A. Clark and many
other valuable contributions were
acquired. He supervised the i'm
provement of the physical facilities
of the gallery. developed its school,
staged scores of special displays,
aided a long list of independent
activities.
Particularly, however, Mr.. Mimi
gerode is certain to be remembered
for the series of biennial exhibitions
of contemporary American art which
he brought together. They were
milestones of distinction in the
Nations cultural march. II only
because they furnished opportunity
for public appraisal of what painters
and sculptors were doing, they were
significant. The man who was their
principal sponsor always insisted
that they should be the artists
affairs, rejecting their ideals, their
judgments, their enthusiasms. He
succeeded so notably in his endeavor
as to earn the gratitude of the whole
country. :
Mr.. Minnigerode naturally is not

Increasing caution among Republican
congressional budgeteers may we'll be
due to increasing news of price declines.
If the, ancient law of supply and de-
mand is getting under way, the makers
of mere mems laws may well take heed.
Despite President Truman's optimism,
business conditions do affect budget
conditions, and budget-makerS are put
on notice.
Fur prices began shedding in August.
Diamond prices dimmed in July. Stock
prices since Labor Day have declined
a fifth, with several individual declines
of a half or more. Leather goods fol-
lowed in November. Textiles, despite
higher wages and raw-material costs,
moved lower before Christmas; and
stories of higher prices by spring are
meaningless, because these rumors
refer to better quality for the same
money. Furniture hesitated to move
at current prices in December. Canned
goods, meat, poultry and citrus fruits
have come down.
+
Ford apparently saw the moment for
price coup.
And now comes silver. The peren-
nial problem child has gone from 30
cents an ounce to 76 in six weeks.
There seems to be no undue alarm
at these readjustments But wise busi-
nessmen and statesmen will discount
theoretical estimates of the exact de-
clines to be expected in the current
year. Experience teaches that the inter-
dependence of economic affairs makes
exact predictions impossible. When
markets grow weak, weak credit posi-
tions grow perilous.
The safe course for Congress Is to
anticipate that employment will de-

On the Record
By Dorothy Thom pson

WARSAW, Jan. 20-In a four-hour
private conversation on the eve of the
Polish elections, Stanislaw Mikola jczyk,
vice premier ard minister Of agriculture
in the Polish provisional government by
insistence of the Western powers under
the Yalta agreement, and leader OF the
largest and only legal opposition party
in Poland contending in the Yalta test
for control of this country, told me in
nine points why he claims yesterdays
elections violate the Yalta Agreement
electoral law and the Polish constitution
Of 1921. He backed every statement,
chapter ana verse, with names and
places, and voluminous documentary
! evidence. My own notes on this cover
20 closely written pages, Of which the
following is summary, and constitute
an all-embracing charge that the elec-
tions are neither unfettered and free
nor secret, as Yalta required.
This Is q story of election rigging by
the Communicated government bloc by
every means-ranging from initial, al
most childish attempts to destroy the
Polish Peasant Party's organization
through intimidation of party and vot-
ers to the final provisions for nonsecret
+
watchers, and vote counting without OPP
position checks against falsification.
Mr.. Mikolajczyk charges that in at
tempting to destroy his party organiza-
ton, the U. B., the Polish governments
secret police, have in the course of
special campaign arrested every Peasant
Party leader except provincial chairmen.
Since there were no charges against
them and the U. B. was unable to hold
them for more than 48 hours without
turning them over to the civil authori-
ties they have been arrested and re-
leased, arrested again and transported
, on one excuse or another to other sta
tiorls, some as many as dozen times.
During December, from 10000 to 100,-
600 local leaders were thus kept out Of
circulation. This maneuver was unsuc-
cessful, however, due to party anticipa-
ton of such possibility and their pro-
vision of innumerable proxies.
X y
Secondly, the bloc which controls all
administrations, including electoral
commissions, attempted to prevent op-
position lists from being filed on time by
last-minute changes Of rules and forms,
new demands for personal signatures
and absence from offices Of authorities
to receive lists. This again was overcome
only by anticipation of the shenanigans
and legal substitution of proxies.
Third, these measures failing, the
secret police visited the candidates and
the signatories sof their nominations,
putting pressure on them to withdraw.
Some were badly maltreated and one
died.
Fourth, still failing. they now began
crossing off signatories and candidates
under Article 2 of the electoral law,
