of the war in Europe?" Conceding the impos
sibility of that, what relation has that question
to the one involving premature armed inter-
vention? What was wrong with the Cliveden
theory? Nowhere has Mr.. Collier countered
the argument advanced that perhaps Russia
was helped too much. Have this country and
England helped to create a Frankenstein mon
ster that looms more ominously over Christian
civilization than ever Hitler did?
Mr. Collier next introduces the novel trivia
that power depends largely on prestige, and
prestige depends on making war. His example:
Would this writer have the United States on
par with India? But would Mr.. Collier prefer
that this country be on a par with China. which
has had the advantage of 10 years of war?
Or Finland, which enjoyed tremendous pres
tige? Or Poland? Is 1t too difhcult for Mr..
Collier to conceive that power itself Is relative:
and that had the relationships been allowed
mutually to weaken each other to the point OF
exhaustion, 1t would, relatively, have left this
country stronger, and actually for 1t would
have saved manpower and wealth?
Mr. Collier closes with recital of material
advantages arising from certain inventions
made possible under the pressure of wartime
conditions. Even conceding this point land 1t
is difficult to concede that one million casual
ties plus countless billions of dollars is good
trade for certain inventions) it would appear
that merely a recognition of state of war,
implemented and confined to shipments of
munitions to the democracies, and Russia, would
have served the purpose until the dictators
had done each other the maximum damage
Notwithstanding the foregoing this writer
would admit that he is wrong and Mr.. Collier
is right-if even one Of the freedoms had been
attained for the world. and If there is to be
no war with Russia. Otherwise, 1t would appear
that one war against surviving dictatorship
would be preferred to two successive wars
against two relationships

Worker but Antiunion

TO the Editor OF The star ~"
I am SO years old. In my early days worked
up to railroad telegraph operator. In my later
days pioneered as welder. All of this time
I have opposed the actions of labor unions. I
still think a hired man should not dictate or
in any manner interfere with his employers
business. If he doesn't like his job. he should
quit and there should not be any fanfare about
1t.
I think the labor bill now before our Presi-
dent should become law and 1t may help save
this country from union labor control, thereby
making 1t (our country . land OF freedom

Local Taxpayers Resentment

LUCdI dApdySi .
To the Editor of The Star
So President Truman does not deem this
to be the proper time for reduction in income
taxes WE'LL If that Is the case, then in my
opinion this is not the proper time for relief
to every broken-down bankrupt country all
over the world.
Why all the concern all of a sudden on the
part of this administration over the national
debt? Hasn't their philosophy been, since 1888:
why worry about the national debt? We
owe 1t to ourselves"
I certainly hope the voters throughout the
country will do something about an admins
tration which shows no willingness to econo-
mize in government expenditures. filings money
reckessly all over the world, and at the same
time piously proclaims that this Is not the
proper time for relief for the United States
taxpayers.
On top of our resentment and diSsatisfac-
ton over the Federal income tax, we in
Washington must look forward to an increased
District income tax, an increased real estate
tax, and an increased water tax, in order to
support the parasites who earn their living
here in Washington but are not willing to
help support the government of this beauti-
ful city. No, they are not domiciled here!

A Gudqet for Sunity?

In speculative moment at the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, General
Kenney, chief of our Strategic Air Force,
has suggested the possibility of battling
with whistles if the world is mad enough
to have another war. Sound can do a
great deal of damage, and he feels that
it may yet be developed into an effective
weapon. This is not far-fetched. The
noises of our modern cities are deadly
enough to indicate what might be done

Macarthur Reported
Planning 10 Live Here
After Leaving Japan
By Reyes Beech
Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor and

the Chicago Daily News
TOKYO, Japan, Aug. 28.-It may
not be in the White House but pretty
close to 1t that Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur will live when he says fare
well to Japan.
Neither will it be Milwaukee.
A source close to the general re-
vealed that today when they sought
to dispel rllmor about his future
residence. Gen. Macarthur had told
a Milwaukee editor recently that
he would visit that city when he
returned to America, but his remark
became distorted to mean that the
supreme commander would go there
for good. Wisconsin residents
promptly made much of it.
The general, however, is known
to have told friends many times
that in all probability he will settle
down in or around Washington, per-
haps on the Virginia side of the
Potomac.
"His interests are worldwide,
rather than local." subordinate
said. THAT is why he will choose
Washington as home. Besides, all
his old friends are around Wash
ington.
But" he hastened to explain,
that doesn't mean that he doesn't
have a warm spot in his heart for
Milwaukee. He was born in Little
Rock, Ark, but MacArthur's grand
father was Lieutenant Governor of
Wisconsin, his father was born in
Milwaukee and the general himself
received his appointment to West
Point from Wisconsin,"
