Czech Tension

The stubborn love of independence his
torically so characteristic of the CzechS has
again shown itself The convention of the
Social Democratic Party has repudiated
by decisive majority the leadership OF
Zdenek Fierlinger and has voted to re-
place him by Bohumil Lauschman.
The significance of this move is obvious
Fierlinger is an ardent supporter of Mos
cow and the champion of close accord
with the Czech Communist Party. Hither-
to he has been able to keep the Social
Democrats in line, despite growing dis
satisfaction within the party at the way
the Communists were running things The
domineering actions of the Communists
reached high point fortnight ago, when
the Communist Prime Minister, Klement
Gottwald, demanded the right to give rep
resentation in Parliament to Communist
dominated labor organizations. This vir-
tual notification of the parliamentary
system produced an acute political crisis.
Fierlinger momentarily got the Socialist
members to support the Communist de-
mand, but all the other parties walked out
in protest. This not only threatened to
shatter the National Front" coalition

ing to share our free country with you But it
soon became evident that you wanted 1t for

One of our traditions tells how surprised we
were when we first saw you fence in some of
our land. It surpassed our understanding that
you dared imprison the forest. After that
everywhere you went you put your bogus stamp

be gotten for money-our land, the land we
allowed you white people to live on. And the
money which has come to you from the land
you have never learned how to use it properlyl
You squander it upon yourselves for evil pur-
poses.

fathers had among them no rich, no poor and
would tolerate no privileged politicians.

Anti-Semitism Among Veterans

TO the Eo1tor OF Inc star:
My attention was called to the following
paragraph in the New Republic" magazine
edited by Henry A. Wallace, November issue.
It is titled ~. s. Anti-Semitism Today" by
Bruce Bliven. The paragraph follows:
"The arguments OF. the hate-mongers give
a sense of organization and stability to millions
of neurotic individuals who find an inner comp
ensation for their inadequacies in hating some
one else and attributing everything that is
wrong to the Vaccinations Of some sinister
group. It is significant that a sharp increase
In anti-Semitism has been found among gentle
veterans of the Second World War; everyone
knows that war experiences proved deeply dis
turbing, in a psychological sense, to large
proportion of soldiers. Such anti-Semitism
has been found to be much greater among
those of the ex-soldiers who are now suffering
economic hardships."
A Jewish boy Zone of the best gunners in the
crew who fought with us would not agree with
this paragraph. If Henry A. Wallace and his
writers must Judge some ones mental condition
by their own, why must they pick on veterans

Boycotting the Movies
To the Editor of The Star:

TO the Edltor OF Inc Star:
In response to Mr.. Estens query. What Is to
prevent other faiths from boycotting certain
movies, radios, etc." wish to quote part Of
the Catholic Review of November IA: Nov
it is bad enough that this picture is being
shown But sad to say the management of
the New Theater in Baltimore has offended
not only in presenting the picture, Forever
Amber but it announces the sale Of tickets
for children at lower admission price than that
charged for adults. Is it that the New Theater
management is so eager for money that it thus
encourages children to see this picture with the
real danger of their minds being poisoned by
the filth of Forever Amber? The effrontery
of the motion picture owners and producers
should be punished in a way they won't soon
forget. We should like to see clergymen OF all
denominations take stand against the show
ing Of such films on the screen The question
is What are our Catholics and other God
loving people going to do about it?"
I believe this answers Mr. Estens letter.

Conodu's 'Austerity' Program

The acute unbalance OF world trade has
been UNDERSIGNED by the drastic action Of
the Canadian government in announcing
a series of heavy restrictive measures upon
imports into the Dominion from the
United States. These range from an abso-
lutte ban upon a long list of consumer
goods, including radios, refrigerators and
automobiles, to heavy excise taxes upon
parts or materials and import quotas upon
other items such as fruits and vegetables.
Conversely, Canadian nationals will be al
lowed travel allowances limited to $3.50,
and then only upon special application.
This Spartan program does not come as
a surprise. Neither is it motivated by any
desire to discourage trade with us. On
the contrary, it was delayed at consider
able sacrifice to Canada until completion
Of the international Trade Organization
agreement, in order not to embarrass the
negotiations. For this restraint. our
officials express sincere appreciation.
Canada has been increasingly hard hit
by the worldwide famine in American
dollars. Recently, the Canadian finance
minister revealed that the Dominion's dol

at the end of 1945 to less than $5OO,OO0, 900,
while the dollar deficit for the current
year will probably run to $1,0OO,O0O,0 900.
Obviously, this untenable exchange situa-
ton needed drastic treatment.
The root of Canadas dollar shortage is
the virtual disappearance of the Atlantic
triangle" whereby the Dominion has, in
the past, redressed it's habitual trade
deficit with the United States by exports
to the United Kingdom and Western
Europe. The situation has been further
worsened by Britain's stoppage of the
arrangement whereby she was paying for
half of her Canadian wheat imports in
dollars.
The Canadian government naturally
hopes that these drastic restrictions, essen
TALLY emergency in character, may be only
temporary. It is setting great store by
the effect of the Marshall recovery pro-
gram, under which it is expected that ulti-
mately any Canadian deficit on purchases
in this country may again be Offset through
British and Continental European dollar
payments. Concurrently, 1t is interesting
to note that the Export-Import Bank has
agreed to lend Canada up to $3OO,OO0O0O
to purchase essential equipment and raw
materials in this country and to prevent
impairment of Canada's contribution to
European recovery.

Oyerturn in Siam

In these hectic days, military coup
d'etat anywhere is suspect. This would
certainly seem to apply to the ousting OF
the legal government of Siam by a caoal
of army officers headed by Marshal Song
gram. exponent of extreme nationalism,
who threw in his lot with the japanese
during the late war.
Siam (briehy known diplomatically as
Thailand) is the central member OF
group of countries which occupy the pen
insular-like southeastern corner OF ASIA.
It is best known as the only one OF this
group to maintain it's independence during
the apogee of Western imperialism in the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
This was due in part to Slams position
as buffer state between British Burma and
French Indo-C China. But able rulers made
the most of this situation to nodernize the
country into something approaching
nation state. 1t is interesting to note that
MANY of the Western advisers and tech
nicians who aided in the task were
Americans.
Siam was ruled as an absolute monarchy
down to 1882, when a virtually bloodless
coup led to the establishment of const1-
tuition, legislature, and other aspects OF
q liberal regime This hopeful evolution
was presently overshadowed by the malign
influence of Imperial Japan. Playing upon
Siamese nationalism, japanese diplomacy
awakened hopes of recovering territories
ceded to France under dureSs nearly half
a century before. That dream was real
lied when japanese mediation compelled
oLu fn re
trocede to Siam it's lost provinces Be-
lieving that Japan was the coming master
of Asia, many Siamese bowed before the
Rising Sun of Nippon, welcomed the jap
anese armies, and joined Japan's Co
prosperity sphere" Prominent among
these collaborators was Marshal Song
gram.
However, other prominent SiameSe op-
posed this capitulation to japanese i'm

escape from the full penalty of joining the

Yet, in Siam as elsewhere, the evil leg

RepeoI 1t or Amend 1t

The District has not obtained much help
from the courts in trying to collect local
income taxes from people who live here
but have some intention, some day, of
returning to their home States. But the
corporation counsel has kept trying.
In one case District of Columbia versus
Murphy the Supreme Court said: I'VE
hold that persons are domiciled here who
live here and have no fixed and Definite
intent to return and make their homes
where they were formerly domiciled
The intention to return must be uncond1-
tional -. In order to retain his former
domicile, one who comes to the District
to enter Government service must always
have a fixed and definite intent to return
and take up his home there when separated
from the service"
Taking this as test, the District sought
to collect taxes from man who said that
when he was retired he intended to return
to Fort Worth to practice law, but who
admitted that If he were offered position
here at like salary or other inducements
more favorable than those anticipated in
Texas, he might remain.
The Court of Appeals would not agree
with the District that this was not fixed
and definite" intent to return to Texas,
although Justice Edgerton, dissenting,
said that the intent to return to Texas
was conditional, not fixed. The District
tried to persuade the Supreme Court to
review the case, and Monday the court
refused to do so. So another tax case has
been lost.
The effect of these decisions has been
to emphasize the complete unfairness OF
the local income tax law. Last spring
Congress made the law even more lopsided
by specifically exempting Government
workers who claim residence in one OF the
States. The discrimination between Wash
ington residents who live here and claim
no other domicile and those who live here
and do claim other domicile, Is 30 unjust,
so contradictory to all principles OF equal
taxation that it should be ended.
In view of this discrimination, the loss
of local revenue that results from 1t and
the hopeless task that is imposed on the
tax collector, Congress should either amend
the local income tax or repeal it. The
only fair amendment would be to make
1t apply to everybody who lives in Wash
ington and benefits from the community
services for which the tax IS levied.

country from misgovernment and corrup-
ton. Marshal songgram has not directly
seized power, though it is fair to assume
that the new regime is manned by those
agreeable to him. Also, there is the posi-
bility of civil strife, since the deposed
leaders have escaped from the capital and
are repeatedly gathering their adherents.
The prospect of a troubled period has
serious implications. especially Of an eco
nomic character. Siam is normally an
important food-exporting region, its rice
crop being counted on to ease the food
stringency in neighboring lands. 1t is
therefore to be hoped that the current
crisis can be speedily adjusted and that
Slams peaceful development will not be

MESSAGE to Moscow

The message which Secretary of State
Marshall delivered last night in Chicago
might well have been marked for the Spe-
cial attention of the dozen or so men in
Moscow who determine the policies of the
Soviet Union. For General Marshall's
speech, In its most important aspect, was
a plain-spoken reply to the war of lies
which those gentlemen have been waging
against the United States.
He took note of the Communist charges
that the United States has imperialistic
aims, aggressive designs and that 1t de-
sires to provoke third world war.
This, he declared, is "a calculated cam
paign of vilif1cation and distortion Of
American motives" Continuing, he said:
IT wish to state emphatically that there
is no truth whatsoever in these charges
and add that those who make them are
fully aware of this fact"
General Marshall went on to accuse the
Soviet leaders of having recklessly thrown
away the good will toward Russia which
had been engendered in the United States
during the war. and Of having "delib-
erately provoked" such animosities as are
evident at this time The Soviet attempt
to put the blame for this on the American
people was characterized as propaganda
of "the most brazen and contemptuous
character"
In the diplomatic fraternity this is
strong language But there is need for
strong and plain language 1t is time that
we stopped kidding ourselves with the
idea that maybe the Russians do not
understand us. and that maybe the Rus
sian leaders actually believe the lies and
the nonsense they have been peddling
about us. They understand us perfectly
well. What is important now is that we
should understand them, and that they
should know that we understand them.
General Marshalls speech should con-
tribute something to this end.

Shifting the Assembly

Several factors account for the Gen.
eral Assembly's heavy vote in favor of
holding next years session in Europe.
The United Nations permanent headquar-
ters will be under construction in New
York. The American political picture will
be dominated by the presidential cam
paign. Some member countries simply
want change of scene. Above all, there
is widespread feeling that it will be
psychologically wholesome to shift the
Assembly's proceedings to another part of
the world on a temporary basis.
As the French delegate has put it, "To
appreciate the work of our organization,
Europe should be able to see more closely
the machinery and the difficulties" of the
General Assembly. 1T may be that the
man In the street in Europe will then be
more interested in the results obtained
be that he will then attach less Importance
to our spectacular disagreements and to
the verbal violence of our debates" Going
beyond this, other delegates notably the
Soviet Unions-have suggested that it
might be good idea to have the Assembly
make practice of moving its meetings
from time to time around the world,
rather than staging them always in
New York. Assuming that it would not
create heavy additional financial burden
or greatly complicate the administrative
setup, the idea makes considerable sense.
Certainly, although New York is to be
the U. Ms permanent home, neither that
fact nor the Charter itself bars the AS
sembly from meeting elsewhere on occa-
sion. Indeed, again assuming that period
ical shifts would not be impractical much
good might be accomplished If 1t met every
five years or so in some overseas country
in France, for example, or China, or
Russia. In terms of educating the world
public to the task of maintaining peace,
the idea seems sound enough to merit
the serious attention of the United
Nations

government that had been in power since
the war but also left the Communist
Socialist bloc with a bare parliamentary
majority If, now, the Socialists resume
their freedom of action, the Communists
may lose parliamentary control at any
moment.
This possibility is inherent in M. Lausch-
mans new leadership of the Social Demo-
Gratis Though neither anti-Communist
nor anti-Russian, he stands for the in
tegrity of his party and has in the past
opposed some of the extreme economic and
social measures advocated by the Com
munists. Likewise, he does not share Ffer-
fingers bitter hostility to the United States
and the Marshall plan.
The courageous nature of this action
by the Social Democrats is patent. Indeed,
1t comes as distinct surprise Moscow is
obviously bent on crushing all effective
opposition everywhere behind the iron
curtain" BY repudiating subservience to
communism, the Czech Socialists have
come very near defying Moscow's will
What will result from this bold gesture
remains to be seen. AS yet, M. Fierlinger
has refused to resign. If he and the pro-
Communist minority should persist in this
recalcitrance, the Socialist Party might
split, as it has in Italy for similar reasons.
Or, again, Moscow may be provoked to
general breakdown in which the last pre-
tense of Czechoslovak independence would
be obliterated.
Yet, even in that latter eventuality the
spirit of the Czech people would remain as
a stubborn obstacle to Moscow domination.
Czechoslovakia would thus tend to remain
refractory vassal and chronic source
of Soviet weakness

Metro Teachers

To the Editor of The Star:
recent editorial OF yours tends to prove that
there has been exaggeration in the argument Of
those opposing the transfer of old school build
ings to Negro children. AS you insist, the
facts should be followed strictly.
However you ran into egregious error in
your Interpretation that persons who object to
a segregated school system on the grounds
that it is invariably inferior are derogating
Negro officials and teachers. On the con-
trary, I venture to say that most Of them
consider this attitude a ringing tribute. For,
in generations Of pupils, they have so firmly
planted the democratic idea Of the equality of
man that 1t sprouts necessarily as a con-
ident expression, and an intelligent agitation
for full and first-class citizenship. Teachers
will continue their sowing.
