that Chairman Reece of the Republican Ma
tional Committee "ht below the belt" as you
called 1t in order to attract attention to the
unholy alliance
Eor years the Wallaces, the Eislers, the
Browders and others of their type have been
the recipients of favors at the hands of the ad-
ministration, as your own news columns will
testify but didn't see any editorials denounc-
ing that in the same language that you de-
nounced Mr.. Reece
Browder was pardoned by President Roose-
welt, Eisler was helped into the country by
Mrs. Roosevelt, even Marcantonio received
support from the Democratic party.
Are you credulous enough to believe that
should Wallace offer, to return to the party
with his following of Reds and Pinks, he
would not be received with open arms?
And can you who see so much. courage in
certain acts of the President, tell us why he
didn't have the courage to sign the Taft
Hartley bill? j. w. HALL.

MoIoyo's Changing Status

To the student of politics. the transfor-
nation of Britain's empire In Asia is an
increasingly fascinating exhibition OF MN
gled astuteness and enlightened states
manship. Unable longer to shoulder the
complex burdens of colonial rule over
restiye and recalcitrant peoples, Britain Is
divesting itself of direct control while re-
tanning it's economic and strategic ad-
vantages with the willing assent of the
various peoples concerned.
The most interesting point in this
evolutionary process is that it follows
no fixed pattern but conforms in eacn
instance to the circumstances OF the case.
Burma Is granted full independence. lnola,
unable to agree within itself on natlonal
unity, becomes two states with at least
provisional dominion status within the
British Commonwealth of Nations. And
now, in Malaga, third variant appears
The group of small Sultanates which
occupy the Malay Peninsula has formed
a federation whose ultimate aim is lnde-
pendence but which remains in close aSso-
citation with Britain for an indetermlnate
period during which it can work out lts
political evolution with British aid ana
direction Britain retains control over the
federations external affairs, defense, and
judicial system Even the federation's s
internal affairs will be under the oversight
of a British high commissioner, while
British residents in the individual states
will stay on their jobs, with diminished
measure of veto and advisory control.
Lastly, the center of British power and
commercial supremacy, the port-metropolis
of Singapore, remains intact, continuing
to be a crown colony under acknowledged
British sovereignty.
All this signifies that, technically, there
has been little change from the previous
setup. The chief difference is one of
emphasis and objective. Hitherto, Britain
has been in Malaga as ruler in perpetuity
Henceforth, Britain is there as arbitrator,
adviser and guardian, its present para
mountcy being, by mutual acknowledge
ment, limited in time and scope, the ulti-
mate being eventual graduation from this
period of tutelage.
Such an arrangement appears to be
wise recognition of realities on both sides.
At present the Malay States are obviously
anfit to stand alone, either collectively or

individually. Aside from their relative
smallness and backwardness, they have
grave internal problems OF readiustment.
economically, they must repair the ravages
Of the japanese occupation and rely on
British connections with the world market
for their vital exports Of rubber and tin
which form the basis of their economic
life. Politically, socially, and culturally,
they must assimilate the large Chinese and
East Indian elements which, under British
rule, entered Malaga and have acquired a
position In some respects superior to that
of the native Malays themselves.
Here, obviously, is no present basis for
Independent nationhood. The hope and
expectation is that, under British guidance
and direction, such basis may, in time,
be evolved.

dominions, union would present few or no
difficulties Unfortunately, In number
Of instances the native sovereign and
privileged upper class were OF different
faith from that professed by majority
Of the population. And the rulers, to-
gether with their aristocratic adherents.
imbued as they were with traditions OF
feudal absolutism, were not disposed TO
bow to the will of numerical majority
which would divest them of their powers
and privileges.
Kashmir is an outstanding instance OF
this conflict between what may be termed
feudalism and democracy. Most of the
inhabitants are Moslems but the ruler is a
Hindu Maharaja supported by Hindu
aristocracy and a Hindu private army.
Furthermore, Kashmir is the largest native
state in India, adjoins both dominions,
and has high economic and strategic
importance Obviously 1T would be
prize for either India or Pakistan. The
Maharaja and his adherents want to join
Hindu India, but this arouses the oppo-
sition not only of the local Moslems, but
also of Pakistan and the nearby fanatical
tribes OF the Afghan border The upshot
has been Intervention in the local dispute
by all parties, and the consequent fighting
endangers the peace of the entire sub
continent.
What both dominions have now agreed
to is a u N. board to investigate and
recommend settlement. Furthermore,
this board or commission, while giving
priority to the KaShmir issue. will consider
other controversial matters that may be
laid before it, The result can well be a
report which will survey the entire range
of disputes and difficulties that now divide
the subcontinent and which will recon-
mend general settlement on broad and
equitable lines.
Unquestionably, the spiritual influence
of Gandhi played a part in the decision
of the dominion leaders to accept U. N.
mediation His "fast unto death" shocked
the consciousness not only of Hindus and
Sikhs but of many Moslems as well. For
the moment, at least, mutual rivalries and
hatreds were transcended 1t is this
precious moment that has been grasped
in an act of constructive craftsmanship.
Thereby a real opportunity has been
vouchsafed to India, to the United Nations,
and to the world at large.

cum Coz entered In 1928 into so-called RED
Line" agreement whereby they drew a red
line around the Middle East and agreed to 60
shares in any new concessions within it; but
today other companies, notably the California
Texas group that is working Ibn Saud's oil, are
operating amicably within the Red Line
Standard -Socony, which is the American part
ner in IPC, is building the Transarabian pipe
line-now called Tapline even in Arabic-for
the Cal-Tex people. The rival firms share
local distribution on q percentage basis. Their
links are endless.
The only shadow of international rivalry at
present apparent is in Persia. where the Rus
slams want facilities in the northern oilbeds,
which are untapped and which belong to q
geological belt round the Caspian which is
quite distinct from the great Iraq-south west
Persian oil belt. They want facilities to match
those which the Anglo -Hanian Co. now en-
joys in the south. But, as is well known,
their efforts to win this with Persian consent
have so far proved abortive.
However, international rivalry scarcely en-
ters the picture SO long as all the operating
companies are ready to sell to anyone. 1t Is
when sellers begin to- pick their markets on
political grounds that quarrels arise. And
this they are not doing at present, except in
sofar as they prefer hard currency buyers to
soft.
Government Profit Expansively.
The Middle Eastern oil-owners are therefore
enjoying heyday. Persia draws anything up
to II per cent of its annual revenue from oil
royalties, without counting some fl2 million
per annum earned in wages paid by the Anglo
Iranian Co. to Persian workers. In Iraq the
annual oil royalty figure, which is now about
one tenth of the national revenue, is ex-
pected to quadrupie when the new large
diameter pipe to the Mediterranean comes
into operation in two years time. Ibn Saud
is earning his royalties In dollars Even the
territories where no oil has yet been dis
covered-Syria, the Lebanon, Transjordan-
are earning fees from the passage OF pipe
lines through their lands. And the network
of pipes is increasing.
One result OF war experience is the dis
covery that even TOO milss of trans-desert pipe
will repay the cost of construction from q
good field within year. To avoid the long
haul around Arabia, all three big companies
operating on the gulf plan to run large
scale pipes to the Mediterranean as soon as
sufficient pipe can be turned out by the roll
ing mills of the west Tapline hopes to be
running ioin Tile gull W ofoou III 1ie heoaiioh
by next year. Palestine, where Haifa is one
of the present IPC outlets, is missing some
of the business on account of the unrest there
On the whole, this new network OF pipes
and fields makes for tranquility and stability
1t brings employment, and the amenities that
accompany good employers which all the oil
companies most certainly are. There always
are queues for their jobs. But 1t must be
admitted that these advantages are Offset by
the relative weakness Of the countries ability
to defend their asset. In the event OF war,
their treasure, though it might not be the
cause OF the fighting, might become It's object,
for it is valuable prize.

Safety Talk Appreciated

To the Editor of The STAR
We wish to express our thanks to your
paper for sponsoring Inspector Mansfield and
the safety program he presented to our kim
dergarten on January is.
This educational type of entertainment is
extremely valuable as it stimulates the minds
of the children into more careful thinking and
awareness of safety precautions. We believe
this program should promote safer and saner
actions from both children and adults and
we hope that the result will be fewer accident
fatalities in the future.
1t is gratifying to know so much interest
is being shown in the welfare of the youth Of
today. For this we thank and commend you
and your paper.

Deplores Dealing With Russia


One of the tragic aspects about this period
of history which seems to have escaped the
attention of the radio and the press IS tnae
the Government Of the United States mas 70
have relations with Soviet Russia, on an equal
basis. When an honest man is compelled, by
force of circumstances over which he has no
control to enter into business relationship
with a criminal on an equal basis, there IS
a strong tendency for his morals to sink 70
the level of the criminals and not the otner
yay around The instinct for seh-preserVa-
ton brings this about. L. GooDMAN'

Arizona Avenue Freeway

To the Editor of The Star:
The important Things to consider in the
matter of the Arizona avenue Freeway are:
/. The land was donated to the city for the
definite purpose of providing health facilities,
so it would be unethica for the city to it for
any other purpose. It would also discourage
similar gifts, which are so valuable to the well
fare of the people.
2 These health facilities, which have been
badly neglected, are vital necessity in peace,
but indispensable in war, which was shown
by the many thousands of men and women
who were rejected for physical defects and
poor physical stamina This makes it one of
the real means of preparedness. 1t is also one
of the really constructive things that can be
done to prevent juvenile delinquency; happy,
wholesome children are not bad! This land
is one of the few open spaces left in this con-
gested area, so If it were used for a freeway,
the people here never may have the benefits 1t
could provide.
3. 1t Is recognized that this traffic artery
badly Is needed to carry interstate and local
traffic around congested area, and the loca-
ton is excellent for the purpose There are
three solutions: ....
a. Use the tract for athletic facilities 'and
widen one of the streets through Georgetown
for the freeway
b; Use the tract for the freeway, with tne
permission of the donors. and provide equiVai-
ent land in this vicinity for athletic equipment.
The present Glover estate at Massachusetts
avenue and Nebraska avenue, and the lano
diagonaIIy across from it where the wave par
racks were, are two excellent places, In the
heart of wide area almost completely WITH
out any equipment. Land along the fotoniac
River also is excellent as it provides natural
winter and summer sports. 1t could be devei-
oped In connection with new Memorial Drive.
c. Put the freeway along the tract and place
athletic equipment on the sides lit there Is
room) wiring it off from the road. This last Is
the way it is done in the congested areas OF New
York City. so should not be impossible here.
The people along the freeway should only
be assessed as much as they would be Tor an
ordinary city street; 1t is grossly unfair 70
make them pay for main artery that is USED
by so many others. !. IA.

O. Why are varieties Of roses called tea
roses"?-H. K. o.
The term refers to the true tea roses,
They are not widely grown In American gar
dens especially in the North. The flower odor
is suggestive of the odor of fresh tea leaves
Harry Kirk and Bon Silene are two members
of this tea rose group. AS whole, they are
not very hardy.

Should Balconies Be Outlawed?

To the Editor of The Star:
After reading your timely article on the
many vandalisms which our poor White House
has so nobly withstood throughout the years
at the hands of tenants whose artistic sensi-
bilities were tragically less developed than
their political ones, it is obvious that the
American people are urgently in need OF ade-
quate legislation for the protection OF their
cultural heritage from the Philistines.
May I suggest that such legislation be made
part of the campaign issues in the coming
elections? AUGUST PONiE.
