The United Nations was conceived
as an agency for collective security
against a third world war. Its charter
was finally completed in June, 1915, and
its first meeting was held in January.
1916. Painstakingly and with infinite
effort the U. N. has sought to lay the
foundations for q system that will pre-
serve world peace. 1t has, however. still
q long road to travel before collective
security for the nations Of the world
can become reality. Too much en-
pl1asis has been placed by great powers
on national security.
Innumerable side issues-relating to
territory, spheres of influence, military
and naval bases and allied subjects
have dogged the steps of the United
Nations, with individual nations SPAR
ring constantly for national advantage.
The question of collective security-the
great desire of all the peoples OF the
world-no matter what governments
may desire-has been forced time and
again into the background.
Within q short time, however, the
Security Council of the United Nations
is to tackle the problem OF atomic
energy-the bomb, in particular-and
also the question Of disarmament. Inese
are problems that 60 on all fours with
collective security.
+ y
II there is to be disarmament and
the elimination Of the atomic bomb
as q weapon of warfare (Which the
United States insists must be accom-
panied with rigid safeguards, including
the right of inspection) there must be
erected a United Nations police force,
capable of seeing to it that the security
of nations be maintained. The Charter
provides for such police force. and
for a Military staff Committee for the
Security Council. The Military Stan
Committee was set up year ago. 1t
has done q great deal Of spade work
but there is still no police force.
It's high time this question Of collec-
tive security be given the right OF way:
that plans for drastic limitation Of
ornaments or disarmament be worked

Our Low Tax Rute

Some of the Districts good frlendS
in Congress will have to meet the
argument that the Districts real
estate tax is too low It is an argu-
ment based on the tax rate. We
have a low tax rate here, SITS per
500 of valuation. When a member
of Congress. who. pays at the rate OF
perhaps SO back home, notes the
low tax rate here he hits the ceiling
The tax rate, of course, is no meas
ure of the amount of tax paid. 1t is a
meaningless figure unless coupled
with the standard. or practice, in
assessment The prevailing practice
elsewhere is to apply high tax rate
to a low assessed valuation. Here
the reverse is true.
1t has been suggested that the
District assessor should follow the
prevailing practice-double the tax
rate and cut in half his assessments.
That would produce no change in
the amount of money collected. But
it would meet the criticism that
Washington real estate is not ade-
quately taxed.
The suggestion may be a good
one. But it cannot be applied. The
law here requires an assessment at
full value. An assessor who did not
comply with the law would be called
to account. Unlike his brethren in
most of the States, the assessor here
holds a nonpolitical Office. Con-
crosses come and Congresses go, but
he goes on-until he retires. He is
responsible only to Congress. And
Congress requires that he comply
with the law. Our assessors have
always been meticulous in such COM
pliance.
The proof of the adequacy of the
real estate tax can be got in two
ways - comparisons of our total
property assessments with those in
other cities; comparisons OF the total
and per capita real estate levy with
those elsewhere. 1t will be shown
that although more than half the
real estate in Washington is tax
exempt, our assessment of that half
compares favorably with the total
assessment of such large, industrial
cities as Baltimore, where relatively
small amount of property is tax
exempt. And it will further be
shown that our total and per capita
real estate levy. when interest on
bonded debt is deducted from what
is paid in other cities-for we have
no bonded debt here-is also high.
Our friends in Congress can easily
refute the argument of low taxes on
local real estate. The figures prove
otherwise.

AnqIo-Burmese Accord

The conclusion in London OF an
agreement between the British gov
ernment and the head of a Burmese
delegation follows pattern already
set in India. 1t foreShadows COM
parable steps in other regions of the
Middle East, where British dominion
appears to be in process of rapid, if
orderly, liquidation.
The terms of the pact provide for
the speedy election of constituent
assembly charged with drawing up
a constitution that will determine
whether Burma is to be completely
independent or maintain some con-
nection with the British empire and
commonwealth. The decision is left
entirely to the Burmese. Meanwhile,
an interim native regime is to be
established with full self-govern-
ment, including control over the
armed forces and financial assist
ance from London. Thus, British
authority over Burma is slated to
come to an end.
What are Burma's prospects under
the new dispensation? One favor
able factor is that, unlike India,
Burma is a basic unity in blood,
religion, language and culture. For
centuries Burma was a powerful
and prosperous empire, its decline
coinciding with British penetration
during the nineteenth century. I'm
der the British, Burma's extensive
mineral wealth was exploited, while
its agriculture was expanded largely
through wholesale immigration of
Indian labor, more reliable than the
easy-going Burmese. Curiously
enough, it was native resentment at
this Indian influx which was the
main incentive to the rise of Bur-
mese nationalist movement which
induced the British to separate
Burma administratively from India
in 1887. The country was full of
unrest, however, which contributed
to its easy conquest by the, japanese
in 1912.
The British government has OBJ
Evening star., 1947-01-30

viously realized that its authority
can no longer be maintained against
the will OF some $4,000, 900 people in
habiting country larger than
Texas. 1t is therefore making a
virtue of necessity by yielding grace
fully to Burmese demands. The
chief question is whether the rela-
lively moderate leadership repre-
sented by U Aung San. the head
Burmese negotiator in London, can
prevail over more radical extremists.
Burma suffered greatly during the
late war. Such situation is natu-
rally conducive to unrest and revo-
lutionary agitation. It's immediate
future under native direction is far
from reassuring.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

out. A meeting of the so-called Big
Five-the United States, Great Britain,
Russia, France and China-with its
agenda limited entirely to this question
of collective security, could draw up
plan-and if one of them failed to agree,
it would be fiat notice there was going
to be no collective security, envisaged
in the Chapter of the United Nations.
It's time for showdown on this
question. If there is going to be no
collective security-if the United Nations
is to be merely a shell, shadow. the
American people should be acquainted
with that fact. Nothing could more
quickly bring the American people
around to support Of universal military
training and the financing of adequate
Army, Navy and Air Forces.
Either the American people must be
assured of collective security, with the
United Nations a going concern, or they
must continue to be militarily strong
themselves.
At present all America, North, South
and Central, the nations Of Western
Europe and China look to the United
States for security. The attitude. and
actions of Soviet Russia and her satel-
lites are responsible. On the other hand,
Russia looks with suspicion on the
United States and the western powers.
It is as much to the advantage Of Russia
as it is to the United States and other
nations to be assured OF collective Sc
curity, through the United Nations
agency. Anything less leaves the world
forever anxious and forever in danger
of new confiagration.

play q major part in persuading the
rest of the world-or any part Of 1t that

If 1t will, make provision for keeping

States extremely powerful; it can insist

dealing with the atomic bomb. It can

Case Against Warsaw

The State Departments special
statement on the Polish elections
rounds out, in vigorous terms, the
American case against the actions
of the provisional government. The
statement recalls that on three sep
arate ccasions-AuguSt 10, Novem-
ber 20 and January 9-the United
States sent strong notes to that
government warning it to abide by
its Yalta and Potsdam pledges to
hold "free and unfettered" vote.
The statement then goes on to
assert what everybody now knows
that the Communist dominated
Warsaw regime violated the pledges
and resorted to force and intimida-
ton to rig the returns overwhelm-
ingly in its own favor.
Another fact recalled by this
statement is that the United States,
on January S, requested Britain and
Russia to join with it in pressing
Warsaw to live up to it's obligations
The request was based on the ground
that the situation involved the
"sanctity of international agree
ments, a principle upon which de-
pends the establishment and main
tenanee of peace and the reign of
Justice under law" The point here
was that the United States, Britain
and Russia, as parties to Yalta and
Potsdam, were pledged to promote
"free and unfettered' Polish elec-
tions and ought therefore to take
the joint action proposed. Britain
agreed to the proposal but Russia
rejected it. After that came the
vote in Poland, with the provisional
government violating all it's prom
ises-a peculiarly fragrant case in
view of the fact that this regime
came into being and won recognition
only on the condition that it would
permit the kind of vote it definitely
did not permit.
The State Departments statement
does not make clear what our Gov
ernment proposes to do now. Ap-
parently our diplomatic representa-
ton will be maintained to keep a
listening post in Warsaw, but other
measures-such as limited recogni-
ton and refusal of credits-may be
possible. Also possible is the sort
of step proposed by Senator VAN
denberg-namely, Big Three consul
tations over who is who and what
is what in Poland" The sanctity-
of-treaties issue is not to be taken
lightly. II solemn agreements are
broken, as Yalta and Potsdam have
been broken in this instance, the

Edison and Lincoln Papers

On February 8 the roll-top desk
at West Orange, New Jersey, which
belonged to Thomas Alya Edison
and which was sealed when he died,
October 18, 1881, will be opened and
its contents described. If any
mystery" really marked the great
inventors life, it then may be dis
closed. Some long-standing ques-
tions concerning his affairs un-
/, doubtedly will be answered by
examination of his private papers.
Perhaps new light may be thrown
upon his religious and social beliefs.
The Wizard of Menlo Park was much
more of a philosopher than some
of his contemporaries, viewing him
primarily as a mechanic, supposed.
He shared with Luther Burbank a
disapprobation of "easy' doctrines.
His views on expedient political
notions were sharply critical. 1t is
along this line-the bent of his mind
that further data are desired by
historians and biographers of the
age. His locked desk conceivably
may hold material of superior value.
And like observation is indicated
respecting the files of Abraham
Lincoln's correspondence deposited
at the Library of Congress in 1926
and scheduled to be opened shortly.
BY direction Of the Presidents son,
Robert Todd Lincoln, his gift to the
Nation was to remain unexplored
for twenty-o -one years after his own
demise. The period of waiting thus
stipulated will terminate on July 26.
What arrangements DR.. Luther H.
Evans, charged with the major re-
sponsibility in the circumstances,
will make for the accommodation OF
scholars wishing to use the docu-
ments remain unannounced at the
present moment. OF course, a
proper measure of decorum is i'm
perative. There must be no panic

fact cannot be shrugged of and for
gotten. Accordingly, good purpose
might be served by frank talks with
Russia on this subject. In any event,
it ought to be made clear to the

to the world at large that the United
States has no stomach whatever for
the way that regime has come to
power.

Titn,ice are calling up the dogs these
days.
Whistling of these birds means they
think spring is just around the corner.
It is CHEEKY, hearty sound, in keep
ing with the fine small creature that
makes it.
Nobody can fool titmouse.
He is the little one with the crest,
who usually pals around with the
chickadee, he of the black cap.
If he thinks spring Is in the air, no
matter how cold 1t seems to you, you
may feel pretty sure that he has some
thing on his mind.
Thousands of years of the titmouse
family means something today.
It may be weeks before spring really
comes. to obtuse human senses, but you
may feel assured that titmice already
know the, exact date.

calling, are merely anticipating the

Gated in such a small breast Is un-

Bird songs and calls are, after all
surprisingly loud for the size OF their
makers. The beautiful four-part song
of the wood thrush can be heard Tor
quarter of mile on still day.
Loud and clear comes the call OF bob
white. We will never forget one OF these
large, beautiful creatures. He took up
a position on tree some 10 feet from
the front of the house at B am. one
spring morning.
His sudden calls seemed to be right
in the room.
No matter how loud bird song is, II
contains certain musical qualities all It's
own, differing with the species.
The bubbling cascade known as the
song of the house wren easily fills the
space it has adopted for its home terri
tory.
One theory of bird song has it that
this is the main reason for their singing
to stake out territory, thus warning
other birds of the same species to
keep out"
However that may be. all right minded
persons love the bird songs and calls
and always keep their ears attuned for
them, especially If they live in suburban
and country sections, where there is
less interference.
1t is easy, after you have listened
for a few years, to pick out the very
first new note in your neighborhood
among the bird songs and calls.
Spring makes em sing, but the thing
to keep In mind is that they recognize
the oncoming season long before you
do, and announce it by tentative song
even though snow and ice may be on
the ground.

Inadequate Bus Service ALLEGED
To the Editor OF The Star:
The Capital Transit Co. seeks to obtain
an increase of transportation fares.
While an increase may in itself be
justified by the increases in wages and
prices, the question which is uppermost
is whether the monopoly which the Capt.
tai Transit Company enjoys has
produced an adequate transportation
service.
In the writer's opinion merely the
street car service may be called adequate,
although hardly satisfactory. The bus
service clearly is insufficient in many
regions or districts and amounts to a
discrimination of the service on certain
days and certain hours in certain dis
tricts. Headways scheduled to be more
than IS minutes (Which in actual prac-
tice are much longer) should not be
allowed on lines not provided with time
tables. The overcrowded condition of
buses operating with headways of this
extent leads to failure of servicing
certain regions for hours. That this
condition is not due to shortage of
buses and drivers may be deduccd from
the fact that conditions are worst on
Saturdays, Sundays and in the period
following the rush hours.
