Ambassador to Indiu

In choosing former ASSISTANT Sec
retary of State Henry F. Grady as
our first Ambassador to India, Presi-
dent Truman has picked good man
to undertake difficult assignment.
Mr.. Grady will be pioneering in a
new diplomatic field, one containing
elements of instability and unrest
that will require tact. intelligence
and sympathetic understanding of
the highest order.
Fortunately, Mr.. Grady is no
stranger to India and her diverse
factions. He will be under no illu-
sions as to the size of the task
which will confront him. Fortunate
ly, too, his previous missions to
Southeast aAsia won him many
friends there. These friends were
not confined to one party or faction.
Hence 1t is probable that he will
have the respect and confidence of
the leaders of India's emerging new
government.
This will be Mr.. Grady's third mis-
sion to India for the United States.
Less than two months before Pearl
Harbor he made a comprehensive
tour of Southeastern Asia for the
purpose of organizing sort of eco
nomic offensive against what was
then only threat of Japanese ag-
gression. With the outbreak of the
Pacific war and the advance of the
Japanese into Burma, he was sent
back to India to stimulate and su-
pervise production of war supplies
for the Allies. He played a large
part in developing India as great
base of supply for British-American
military operations which eventu-
ally threw the japanese out of
Burma. He has rendered valuable
foreign service in other areas, hav-
ing been vice chairman of the Allied
Control Commission in Italy and
head of the American mission which
observed the Greek elections.
The quality of his services to the
Government in the past is such as
to leave no doubt that he will
measure up to the heavy RESPONSE
bilities which he will face as Am
bassador to a nation still in the
throes of organizing an independent
government.

far back as last December. when .
provisional State Of East 1ndonesia
was proclaimed. This consisted OF
all the islands to the eastward OF
Java, with the exception OF Borneo.
which is so primitive and backward
that its elevation to statehood has
been deferred, though planned for
in the eventual tri-partite set-up.
In both East Indonesia and Borneo,
the Dutch connection remains much
stronger than in the Indonesian
Republic. That conforms to exist
ing realities, since no such organized
nationalist movements have arisen
there as in Java and Sumatra.
The chief doubt concerning the
efficacy of the Linggadjati Agree
ment is the ability of the Indonesian
leaders to carry out their side of the
bargain. Dissident elements exist,
especially those inspired by Com
munist influence. which seek to
wreck constructive settlement and
make a complete break with the
Dutch. The Netherlands plenipo-
tentiary, DR.. van Nook, presumably
referred to these difficulties when
he said with somewhat wry humor:
1.-The agreement may not stop the
shooting for a long time in Java, but
we hope to get it on more friendly
basis"

EuSter

Surely 1t Is because OF the suHer-
ing and sorrow that mankind has
experienced in the past half century
that Easter has come to mean more
to the generality of people than it
meant in previous, less troubled
times. Men and women of middle
age caE remember when it signif1ed
merely a formality of religion, a
fashion show and feasting. Wars
and revolutions reaching into every
home have had the effect OF creating
a new solemnity for the annual COM
memoration of the Risen Saviour.
1t is natural that it should be so.
Great numbers of average folk have
been educated to understand what
sacrifice entails. At least for sea-
son, nlultitudes have been obliged to
fight for others, to live for others.
To a certain extent, then, they have
shared with the Galilean who per-
ished on the Cross yet triumphed
over the grave. Even persons who
have believed themselves exempt to
the claims of religion have partici-
pated in a common conservation.
Living generations have produced
saints and martyrs, prophets and
heroes equal to stand in the long
scroll of fame with the best of their
forerunners.
This is not an era spiritually bank
rupt. Simply and plainly and with
out pretense or self lf-congratulation,
millions of people are striving to be
part of the solution Of the overall
problem of struggling civilization.
They toll and pray for freedom and
peace and honorable security with
zeal and devotion. Perhaps never
before in modern history has such
earnest endeavor characterized a
major fraction of the world public.
That is one reason why Easter in
1947 is an occasion for hope. OF
course, the Kingdom of God upon
earth is not yet realized. 1t is obvi-
Gus that ignorance and greed, arro-
gance and lust for power still mott
vate individuals and groups and
classes very much as they did when
Jesus preached against such sins
nearly two millenniums ago. The
constructive difference lies in the
fact that moral standards have been
emphasized, moral judgments have
been strengthened in their governing
force, by eliminating events.
When Christ was crucif1ed, His
own immediate followers doubted
the value of His sacrifice. The Cross
appeared to them as a sign of failure.
But the stone rolled away from the
sepulchre testified to His triumph.
1t still spells victory-all the more
so as human destiny expands by
processes of Righteousness and fell
lowship, however costly in sweat and
blood and tears.

The Magic of April

Stand on a hillside in April and
you can feel spring coming to a
winter-weary land. You can feel it
in the breeze from the Southland.
You can feel 1t in the mellow
warmth of the suns rays. You can
see it in the inverted blue meadow
that rests over the land-a blue
meadow where hocks of shaggy
white cumulus clouds Craze peace
fully along the sky trails. You can
see it in the swelling buds of the
red naples in the swamps and the
fluffy gray kittens of pussy willows
along the creeks and in the sloughs.
You can hear it in the heart-lifting
carols of the bluebirds in old Or
chards behind weathered barns and
in the poignant high-pitched calls
of the wood pewees.
When countrymen tear off the
third sheet of the big calendar that
hangs between the two south win
dows OF the farm kitchen, they know
that the stirring miracle of life's
resurrection is on the way. Through
the months of cold and ice earth
has taken its rest. Now the new
season has come. In kitchen window
boxes plants are lifting green leaves.
BY farmhouse doors lilac buds are
bursting the stitching that has held
the scales tight. Each day the sun
takes higher course across the
heavens-climbing toward the pole
of the horizons.
Where snow is left. 1t shrinks
along fences and walls. Trickling
waters course down pasture slopes
and the brooks sing a song of Joy
as the waters run high between their
banks. Over the countryside there
is the spirit of April. Mems souls
stir to the miracle and their hearts
respond to the goodness of Him who
ordains the cycling seasons. April is
month of magic and man and
earth feel the goodness of the Great
Spirit.

Dutch-Indonesiun Pact

Formal signing at Batavia last
week of the so-called Linggadjati
agreement between the Dutch Gov
ernment and the Indonesian Ma
tionaliSt regime is hopeful portent
in an otherwise troubled Far East.
1t should be regarded, however, as
the first step rather than the con-
GLIDING phase of complex process
of readjustment between the former
Dutch rulers and the natives who
have determined to emancipate
themselves from that rule. This Is
especially true of the economic side.
More than three centuries of Dutch
rule have elaborated pattern of
economic development which can
not be violently disrupted without
grave damage not only to Dutch
and other outside interests but to
the welfare of the native populations
as well.
1t should be understood that this
agreement concerns primarily the
so-called Indonesian Republic, which
embraces Java, Sumatra and the
small neighboring island of Madura.
That trio, to be sure, is the most
populous and best-developed portion
of the Netherlands Indies. However,
the vast archipelago includes other
extensive regions, less advanced in
every way and inhabited by different
peoples. Therefore. the Indonesian
Republic, while enjoying a semi
sovereign status, is enviSaged as
forming part of larger federation
to be known as the United States of
Indonesia. This. in turn, is designed
to be an equal partner in loose
union of the Netherlands with its
historic colonial dependencies, alike
in the Far East and in the New
World. The overall pattern resem-
bles, in many ways, the British
Commonwealth of Nations.

District highway officials are thinking
asphalt plant. Their virtual decision
to enter the business stems from the
exorbitant costs of contract road re-
pairs Expect them to ask the Com
missioners soon for permission to ex-
plore the situation fully unless costs
for this work take an unforeseen drop.
Although they have approved 1t,
some officials of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission are re-
ported still not sold" on the idea of a
new Federal courthouse at Third and
Constitution avenue NV. They okayed
the project because Of the emergency
need for expanded court quarters but
are said to be secretly hoping something
will happen to steer 1t back to the
originally proposed site-the present
site of the old Pension Office. What
they really had In mind for the Third
and Constitution avenue location is
big auditorium possibly as memorial
to those who died in the late war. Key
to the change in sites, however, would
be erection Of new General Account
ing Office Building at Fourth and g
streets NV. so the old Pension Office
could be scrapped.
Why not rotate membership on the
Board of Police and Fire Surgeons?
The seven member physicians now are
appointed for indefinite terms.
Not only taxes but also license fees
here probably will go up. The Commits
sioners' License Committee is now study
ing the problem with special eye on
places of amusement.
The fees for movie houses and sport
arenas, including Griffith Stadium, are
almost sure to be boosted if no local
amusement tax is passed.
A theater spokesman admitted to the
Commissioners last September at their
tax hearing that the license fees were
very low and could stand a sizable in
crease. If this is done 1t will probably
be based on the seating capacity of the
establishment and its hours of operation.
In this way the smaller neighborhood
theaters operating only at night will not
have to pay as much as the big down.
town houses.
Also facing possibility Of boosts are
licenses to operate liquor establishments,
although this, too, may be conditioned
by what happens to the pending bill to
double liquor taxes.
In some ways the boosting OF public
license fees will represent change OF
philosophy at the District Building.
Heretofore the theory of license fees has
been to cover the cost of the necessary
public inspections rather than to raise
revenue.
