WilheIminu 'Retires'

1t will be to persons belonging to her
own generation that the announcement Of
Queen Wilhelmina's retirement" will
bring most regret. Born In 1880, she has
been symbol Of something more than the
Dutch empire. In peculiar sense she
represents the generation to which she
belongs. When she succeeded her father,
soon after her tenth birthday, she won
the hearts Of many people.
But the young sovereign did not remain
young overlong. Her burden never was
nominal. The government of The Neither
lands and its dependencies is richly demo-
cratic in theory, yet it demands much of
the ruling head of the state; and Wilhel-
nina added to the number and the CON-
plexity of her activities by the exercise of
her energetic mind. The problems Of her
administration were her own not merely
those OF her counselors. She faced the
trials OF the age with intelligence. cour-
age and determination. Twice she strove
almost alone to halt universal wars. In
one crisis she saved her country from in
volvement in the conflict; in another she
failed through no fault for which she
Justly could be blamed. Driven into exile,

she maintained her integrity untouched
until Allied victory made feasible her re-
turn to her liberated capital.
The Queens daughter and grandchildren
found refuge in Canada while the Nazis
were in occupation of their homeland, and
Wilhelmina visited them at Ottawa, cross
ing the Atlantic by air for the purpose
She took advantage of the opportunity to
see Washington on that occasion, was a
guest at the White House and delivered
a formal address to Congress on August
6, 1912. The impression she left was that
of thoroughly efficient, self-possessed
executive
Now, five years later, the Queen has
authorized announcement of period of
temporary holiday from the labors and
cares of office. Sixty-seve years old, she
wishes freedom to rest The Princess
Juliana, born in 1909, will WELD the royal
power until further notice. Thus Wilhel-
minas destined successor will gain prac-
tical experience as she herself did long
ago when she was younger than the heir

Stamp Review

In spite OF all the turmoil and confusion,
civilization is going forward. If any serious
doubt OF its survival and progress existed.
It might be dispelled by glance through
the pages OF the first half of the 1948
edition OF SCOTS Standard Postage Stamp
Catalogue, published last week. This en-
cyclopedia OF philately Is much more than
the accepted guide of all American practi-
TONERS Of the worlds favorite hobby. It
II record OF the cultural expansion of the
human race, compendium of folk expert
ence without regard to arbitrary boun-
daries, classes, creeds or other restrictions
To illustrate the principle involved, the
new Scott volume, edited by Gordon r.
Harmer in the tradition established long
ago by Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh M Clark shows
that during the Second World War the
postal authorities of the United States
issued no less than thirty-fve stamps In
homage to such heroes of peace as Mark
Twain, John Greenleaf Whittier, Booker T.
Washington, DR.. Walter Reed, Stephen
Collins Foster, Daniel Chester French and
Alexander Graham Bell, not to mention
commemorative" to publicize anniver-
saries of the railroads, the merchant
marine, the telegraph services and motion
pictures as well as many postal labels
which definitely did reflect the prevailing
struggle-the raising of the Stars and
Stripes on Two Jima, for example.
Meanwhile, the constituent parts Of the
British Commonwealth Of Nations followed
an identic rule. Great Britain brought out
an attractive series of stamps for the
centennial of the Penny Black of 1S4O-
the first adhesive ever produced by any
country. Canada in 1923 released a
set of ten handsome "stickers" depicting
King George vi in various uniforms, views
of farming and storing grain and different
military subjects. Even more notable were
the bright, multicolored stamps Of New
Zealand, placed on sale in 1910 as feature
of the one hundredth anniversary Of Euro
pean settlement. The Union of South Africa
stressed war themes from 1899 until 1s45,
but the number and variety Of issues proved
the availability Of skilled designers and
printers even when manpower was scarce.
OF course, such persistency in keeping
alive, the cultural instinct of people is well
worthwhile. It Is for their folk inheritance
and the right to improve it that free ma
tions fght. The Scott guidebook offers
little evidence Of what properly is called
propaganda, but 1t does demonstrate an
idealisfn which is contagious. Stamps are

simply as scraps Of engraved paper. It

Singing Wires

Along quiet, friendly, country roads that
ramble between weather-furrowed stone
walls or wn-splintered zigzag split rail
fences you will see them. Around the
shoulders of hills, beside the meadows and
through ShadoWed woodlands where shafts
of sunlight make a picture of mullioned
beauty they wander. They dip down to
COOL moist ravines where silvery-gray
humble plank bridges span chuckling,
pebble bottom brooks.
The singing telephone wires follow coun-
try roads In some places only two wires
are attached to smaller, adze-pointed
poles On the roads that serve more fam
lilies there are crossbars on larger poles
and dozen or more slender metal wires
catch the CLINT of the SUM- Some of the
uprights, creosote treated, weather through
the seasons to a soft, faded chestnut
brown; some of the older poles are an ap-
pealing silver-gray color. And through the
years the singing wires make music for
him who pauses to listen.
The scientific reasons for the music we
leave to others. But there are men in city
offices and in the harsh cacophony of fac
tories who remember the singing wires
along the roads. Many a lad on the way
to and from small district school stopped
to listen to the song Of the wires Some
times the song was slow and faint and one
could Just hear the muted, sweet music;
sometimes, especially In March or October
the wires sang brisk rollicking song. It
seemed as II the wires were pushing their
pulsing notes to the countryside In terms
of modern science we assume the singing
wires are not a phenomenon of major i'm
port. But the music OF the metal strands
Is part Of the appeal OF country roads.

DisIoyuI Congressmen

Very few people will share the reported
Indignation of certain members of the
House at the discovery that the names
of disloyal congressman may have been
filed away by the Civil Service Commission.
Actually it is not certain that the names
OF any congressman are in this file. But
II there are any they got there in the
course of investigations which the COM
mission has been directed to make. The
commission of course, does not investigate
congressman as such. But, for example,
1t does investigate Federal job applicants.
In the course of such an investigation it
might discover that the applicant had
signed some Communist or Fascist petition.
If so, that fact would be recorded in his
file, and the other names on the petition
would go into what is called a lead file
a file which could be used to get line on
future job applicants. It might very we'll
be that a signer of the petition might be
a congressman. or some one who Is subse-
quently elected to Congress. In that event
his name would be in the lead file. And
why not?
Congress has not hesitated to authorize

the executive departments. 1t investigates
private citizens, and If John Does name
happens to appear on the mailing list of
some off f-color organization, he has every
reason to expect that this fact will be
made matter of public record by the
Congress.
Why should immunity from investiga-
ton, especially from what is purely an
incidental investigation, extend to con-
gressmen, and to no one else? What is
there so sacred and untouchable about
the position which these gentlemen hap
pen to hold?
IT there are members of Congress who
are affiliated with the Communist Party,
or with any other subversive group it
would seem that the people who pay their
salaries ought not to be foreclosed from
any possibility Of ascertaining that fact.

upon its right to investigate others can

Plea for 'Exiled' Employees

TO the Editor Of The Star:
For nearly six years several hundred en-
ployes Of the immigration and Naturalization
Service have been exiled from Washington
They were promised that when the war was
over they would return to their homes IN
Washington. Relying on this promise they
have lived in crowded. temporary quarters
In Philadelphia Many have kept their homes
in Washington and have committed weekly
for the entire time. This summer they were
notified that the agency would return to Wash
ington by December l. Relying on this noti-
fication many gave their landlords notice
that they intended to vacate. Those who
owned houses in Washington gave their tenants
notice that they would reoccupy their homes
Some OF the veterans exercised their rights
under the CT Bill and bought homes for
their families In the Washington area. Many
of the men moved their families to Washing
ton for the start of the school year in
September.
Now the Office Of Public Buildings and
Grounds states that the move back to Wash
ington has been indefinitely postponed. AS
for reasons, it Is most vague. At one time
it refers to lack of housing space. Again 1t
will be lack of Office space for the agency.
Another time it will be its ungrounded fears
that the Bureau of the Budget will not
provide the necessary funds Congress ap-
propriated money for this specific purpose0

Exit the DoIIur-PooI Plan

The tentative character of proposals for
implementing the Marshall plan is re-
vealed by the fact that one feature of
the program sketched out by the recent
sixteennation conference at Paris appears
already to have been shelved as unavoidable.
This is the so-called dollar pool plan,
originally hailed with enthusiasm by some
financial specialists here and abroad. The
idea aimed at insuring greater convert
ibility of European currencies as an aid to
European trade. The plan itself fell
into two parts The first stage consisted
in marshaling of respective debts and
credits among the sixteen nations, can
ceiling out the offsets by gigantic book
keeping transaction. Then came the sec
ond and more vital stage. This consisted
| OF an assurance to creditor countries that
the debit balances owed by debtor nations
on balance would be paid in gold for dol
lars. If this could be effected, the logical
result would be an increased willingness
of all members of the pool to hold each
others currencies and generally loosen up
on existing restrictions on convertibility.
Theoretically, there was much to be said
for the scheme, which appears to have
originated with the monetary experts of
the Belgian National Bank. However, it
could become workable only on two con-
ditions: Cd That Britain would join whole
heartedly; (2) that the amount of dollars
needed to support the pool would not be
excessively large in terms OF foreseeable
dollar resources.
Unfortunately, neither of these pre-
requisites was met. It soon became evi-
dent that Britain was not disposed to pool
Its dollars with the other European men,
bers. Furthermore, even cursory survey.
revealed that more than $4,000 900 900
would be needed to do the currency
stabilizing job. The plan, as originally con-
ceived, is therefore being abandoned by
general consent
What remains Of the idea is limited
application of the clearing house" phase
on bilateral basis. Certain nations, such
as Belgium, France and Italy, intend to
work in pairs on mutual cancellations of
debts and credits. This presumably would
clarity specific commercial situations and
ease pressure for restrictions on currency
convertibillty which 10 hamper trade,
However, since there will be no provision
for settlement Of residual balances IN terms
OF dollars, the beneficial effects will be lin
tied and incidental. The basic problem Of
inconvertible and shaky currencies will not
be touched
