their subjects. So the princes are more
than mere outmoded museum pieces.
Considering specifically the three rulers
who have made their independence dec
laration: Hyderabad is the most powerful
and popuIous of the native states, with
an area of 83 900 square miles and 10000
900 inhabitants It is situated in South
Central India Travancore is small state
in the extreme south, an isolated region
distinguished by having large native
Christian element. Bhopal is one OF
group of several native states in west
central India All three have had en-
lightened administrations and rulers
popular with their subjects.
The total area of the native states is
nearly 100000 square miles, with nearly
100000 population. That is approx
mately two-fifths of India's total area and
one-fourth of its inhabitants. Some OF
the rulers are Moslenls, others Hindus;
some rule over people of the opposite faith.
II these states should lose their SOW
ereignty the question would inevitably
arise as to whether they should join Hin
dustan or Pakistan, which would open up
a veritable Pandora's box of partition
problems. Here, indeed, is an issue that
will tax Indian craftsmanship to the full.

A Proper Veto

The reasoning behind the Presidents
veto of the income tax reduction Dill
should appeal to the common sense OF the
American people.
The prospect of continuing high taxes
Is not, of course, pleasant one. the
man or woman who likes to pay taxes has
not vet been born, and it must be admitted
that the Republican promise OF tax reduc-
ton appealed to an instinct that Is deeply
rooted in human nature.
Nevertheless, the better arguments are
on the Presidents side.
We are in the midst of an era OF excep-
tional prosperity, and it is in such period
that debt must be reduced If 1t is ever to
be done. The Senate was aiming at
reduction in the national debt OF $2,oO0,-
100000 in the 1948 fiscal year. That, now
ever, Is only per cent of the total DEBT.
At this rate, and on the highly improbable
assumption that an equivalent reduction
could be made annually, 1t still would take
one hundred years to pay off the debt.
This is enough to demonstrate the de-
STABILITY of reducing the debt as much as
possible in the years when we are aole 10
afford it, Every man who has wrestled
with his own budget problems knows that
debts must be paid when the money to
nav them Is available For if they are not
paid then, they never will be paid.
Another effective argument against TAX
reduction at this time lies in the uncer-
tainties of the international situation AS
Mr.. Truman said, we are still in the midst
of a transition period, and we continue 10
be confronted with relief and rehaoilta-
ton demands The exact cost OF these Is
unknown, but 1t certainly will be heavy.
In the face of these considerations IL
seems to The Star that 1t would be sneer
folly to reduce Government income at TINS
time. The President is to be commenced
for his veto of the tax bill 1t may prove
politically harmful to him, but in the long
run It will best serve the interests OF thls
country.

Stop Siqn Huzurds

There is no disputing the need for stop
signs on arterial highways and in certain
other dangerous locations. But Traffic
Director Keneipp is correct in contending
that too many stop signs at too many
unnecessary places can destroy their value.
An unheeded stop sign can be potentially
more dangerous than an unguarded in
tersection.
recent survey has thrown some light
on the tendency of Washington motorists
to become Indifferent to stop signs. The
tendency, while disturbing, is not sur
prising in view of the fact that the city
is covered with more than $4,000 traffic
signs, many of them giving drivers con-
Trajectory instructions concerning moving,
stopping or parking. The survey of stop
signs show that while about three-fourths
of the motorists obey stop signs along
arterial thoroughfares, less than As per
cent came to full stop at isolated inter-
sections. OF the remainder, about 48 per
cent slowed down and the rest paid no
attention whatever to the sign.
To the driver who assumes he will have
the protection of stop sign at an inter-
oSCtlOIl, tllIo WluCoplC eau GCliuCilSy w 15l2OiC
isolated stop signs offers real hazard.
Accident statistics indicate the seriousness
of this peril. Last year there were 305
accidents, including one death, resulting
from failure to obey stop signs. There have
been 1T such accidents so far this year,
with one fatality. Since it is manifestly
impossible to enforce compliance at every
one of the 1850 intersections guarded by
stop signs, there is merit in Mr.. Keneipps
belief that use of the signs at only the
more essential intersections will increase
public respect for them. And general
overhaul of the city's traffic sign setup
with a view to eliminating outmoded,
useless and conflicting signs OF every
description would have an additional salu-
tary effect

Charles Stewart Portrait

Even If it were not a great work OF art
IN itself. the portrait of Charles stewart
piven to the National Gallery by MRS.
Georq VetIesen would be an important
accession. Painted by Thomas Sully at the
height of his powers. it represents a man
who was an acknowledged genius IN MS
time and should be better known 10
living generations than he is.
The name of the subject hints al
connection with the royal house OF SCOT
land and England But such a relation
meant nothing to Stewart In his own
career. Child of mariner who died young
and left his widow in poverty, he was self
made and elf-disciplined from ooyhooo
onward The date of his commission as
lieutenant In the American Navy was
March 8, 1898. He first won public notice
two wears later, when he captured two
French vessels, took back certain ships
belonging to the United States and rescued
a large company of women and children
wrecked after fleeing from revolution
in Santo Domingo.
Jefferson's determination to stop Tripod
itan piracy gave Stewart opportunity to
prove his capacity and skill. The War OF
1912 furnished him with many chances to
distinguish himself against British COM
manders On the deck of the Constitution
he carried the fighting as far as the
Madeira Islands. Later he was commodore
of feet In the Pacific, naval commits
sioner and administrator of the Philadel-
phia Navy Yard. Congress recognized his
talents and devotion in 1859 by creating
the title of senior flag officer" for him.
He became rear admiral on the retired
list in 1852, after more than six decades
of duty.
His portrait by sully testifies to Stewards
handsomeness. The coolness and courage

cannot understand why it took us four years to
cross the Pacific. They are not a sea-faring
people, they probably think the Channel is
just q big river like the Dnepr or Dnestr, and
feel that only weaklings could have been so
long in crossing 1t. They count their adherents
in England and America they note the present
condition OF the English, and consider that the
opportunity to demonstrate the mastery OF
Europe never was better. In the light Of the
devastation in the Russian homeland, In the
light of our present superiority In atomic war
fare. such conclusions may appear fantastic.
1t should be remembered that Herr Hitler and
the japanese made equally fantastic miscalcu-
lations, and that we ourselves once thought the
French Army was the best in Europe In 1889
Hitler thought France and England would not
fight. When they did declare war, he thought
they would not persist. They did, so he resolved
to conquer France, which was to be the signal
for England to surrender. He was wrong again
When the Allies landed in France three years
ago, Herr Hitler was overjoyed, thinking that
at last he could get his hands on them! In the
light of these mistakes by very shrewd and
able man. would 1t be strange if the Soviet
elite was making equally grave errors and had
concluded that this summer was the time to
fasten Soviet rule on Europe? The infexible
assured bearing Of their representatives sug-
gests the most solid self-confidence: the whole
attitude is that of utter contempt for the
United States and England.
Time for Action Now.
It appears that the Truman administration
is contemplating an ambitious plan for the re-
habilitation of Western Europe, the success Of
which probably would bar any dreams of max
ing 1t Russian province. Assuming that the
United States England, France and Italy could

not cramp them unduly; the present wave Of

was organized and under way in something
more like six days than six months. And In

When the forces Of destruction can operate
with such evident speed and power, it Is hard
to see how the slow processes of economic re-
construction can cope with them. The situation
Is so grave, so like open war, that defeatisn1.

than II war actually were on us. We must move
to rescue Europe; we must demonstrate that we
have no designs on Russia; we must make clear
that there should be no disastrous underesti-
mating of our will and strength. It must be
done, and so it can be done. But we shall never
do it, if we do not clearly see that the posi-
bility of war grows greater every day.
