The Duty of q Host

One of the responsibilities of the Wash
ington community as host to the Nation
on Inauguration day is to raise guarantee
fund The money goes for such expenses
as the erection of stands along the route
of march When tickets are sold for the
stands the proceeds are returned to the
guarantors, who have made loan without
interest Any surplus goes to the Com
munity Chest.
A story in yesterdays Star recalled an
original $26, 600 surplus from a guarantee
fund raised in 1889 for President Benjamin
Harrisons Inauguration. That surplus has
grown by investment to more than $4,000
and the accrued intereSt-for the principal
must be kept invested-is used occasionally
"for the purchase of fuel and clothing for
the poor of the District" in accordance
with the terms outlined at the time.
Washington has always met its respon-
sibility in the guarantee fund and this year
will be no exception. Letters have gone out
from Chairman Robert " Fleming of the
Finance Committee, soliciting contribu-
tions from Washington business enter
prises 1t is the hope of the Inaugural
Committee that the response will be wide,
representing large cross-section of the
community. The loan is safe one and
1t sometimes yields Unexpectedly generous
returns for welfare.
In President Hoover's Inauguration in
1929, 352 subscribers received all their
money back and a profit of about $4,000
went to the Community Chest. The same
thing happened in 1888, President Roose-
velts first inaugural, and the Community
Chest received a profit of over s60,OOO In
Mr. Roosevelt's second and third inau-
gurals, the guarantors suffered slight loss.
There was no fund raising in the dark
year of 1945.
This year will mark return to the old
fashioned celebrations of the past with
big parade and great crowds. The guaran-
tee fund will require subscriptions of about
100000. But there is already a brisk
demand for tickets and the likelihood is
that the guarantors will suffer no loss and
another profit will be made for Com
munity Chest agencies.
Washington has right to expect an
oversubscription for highly worthy cause.

ton authorities would do we'll to put of
their deportation proceedings against the
eighty-four Estonians who came to this
country last summer after braving the At

a new life of freedom. Representative

Joined Representative Celler of New York
In an appeal to that end, and the response
ought certainly to be favorable.
In a strictly legal sense, these refugees
have no right to be here, and our immigra-
ton officials are technically correct in
moving to deport them to Sweden, their
last country of residence before crossing
the Atlantic. But theirs is a case in which
the letter of the law should not be allowed
to override common sense and humani-
tarianism. They are in fight from the
terrors of Red totalitarianism, and they
deserve more of us than an action that
would send them back to the Swedish
authorities for the latter to decide whether
to offer them continued sanctuary or re-
turn them to their Soviet-dominated ma
tive land
Representatives Mccormack and Celler
both of whom will occupy key positions
in the new Democratic House-have issued
special statements arguing against such
course and promising to introduce bill
in the Eighty-first Congress to make it pos
Sible for these men and women to seek

1t is true enough, Of course, that there
Is some Justification for feeling cool toward
unauthorized arrivals. Since the end of
the war, we'll over 200 Baltic refugees have
crossed the Atlantic in small boats and
landed in America without proper papers
They have shown courage in doing so, but
officials have pointed out that they have
also enjoyed an unfair advantage over
other would-be immigrants seeking to
enter legally. Our regular annual immi-
grafton quotas are very low for such coun-
tries as Estonia, and every time we accept
illegal entrants, applicants abiding by our
law have to wait longer to get in. The
current deportation action is aimed at dis
couAging that kind of inequity.
Be that as it may, however, the Atlantic
has not been crowded with small boats
carrying illegal immigrants to our shores
The numbers have been relatively few and

alters its illegal and arbitrary policy.
OF that, however, there seems to be no
prospect. Indeed, the psychological defeat
suffered by Moscow is so grave that it may
provoke Soviet policy to still more aggres-
sive actions. But the same psychological
imperatives constrain the Western Powers
to oppose such actions, no matter what
the consequences. The rival Berlin elec-
tions, taken together, thus constitute an
other turn in that vicious spiral which
forces East and West into deadlock which
becomes steadily less capable of being re-
solved by mutual understanding or rational

The Berlin EIection-und After

The outcome, significance and conse-
ouenceS of the Berlin municipal election
should be evaluated not only in the local
sense but also within larger frame OF
reference which includes the entire issue
between East and West.
The election was essentially a protest by
the Berliners themselves against the arbi-
trarv and illegal action of the Commu-
nists in setting up city government IN
defiance of the municipal constitution
which prescribed the holding of elections
for the renewal of the regular city ad-
ministration. Forbidden by the Russian
authorities in their sector, the qualneo
voters of the three sectors under the West
ern Powers turned out en- masse and ad-
ministered their overwhelming condemna-
ton of Communist tactics by polling some
IS per cent of registration totaling more
than 100000 They did this despite Com
munist prediction intimidation and
warnings of contingent reprisalS typified
by statement in the leading Soviet
licensed newspaper that whoever refrains
from voting has chosen life over death"
Under these circumstances, the outcome
of the election is not only resounding
and courageous reputation OF Communist
Russian terrorism by the Germans but
likewise a major moral victory for the
cause of liberty and democracy against
Communist totalitarianism everywhere,
since Berlin has become more and more
vital sector in what is essentially a world
wide theological struggle. That Is its larger
significance.
Unfortunately while democracy has won
victory, it has by no means won the war.
Indeed, the immediate result of this elec-
ton and its fake Communist predecessor
will presumably be to sharpen tension be-
tween East and West over Berlin. This is
| implicit in the memorandum sent by the
! Western Powers to the neutral" commit
tee of the United Nations which has been
trying vainly to find some basis for East
West negotiation over the Berlin issue.
The memorandum points out that the
Communist regime set up in the Russian
sector is the latest of no less than 81 Rus
sian actions since last June, all taken con-
trary to agreements between the occupy
ing powers. And it warns that those actions
render genuine settlement Of the Berlin

Learning About People

There Is an impression that the radio
is slencing the Washington taxi driver.
Complaints are heard that the drivers,
once noted in Washington as town
sage, a drama critic, philosopher and
guide, is keeping quiet. When not mes
merized by a scratchy voice from his
office radio directing him to proceed at
once to 1884 Utterly street S.W., he is apt
to be tuned in to particularly inane quiz
show, a orch-singer breathing her last or
a rapid-fire account of basket ball game
in Northern Iowa. He will tell you what
the fare is, but little else.
Naturally, there is an explanation for
all this The Capital cabbie is not gabby
for the simple reason that in town full
of know-it-alls, he no longer has
chance. The absence of a Washington
theater rules out drama criticism, but that
Is lust the beginning. Suppose he ventures

LEGISLATION by Treaty

To the Editor OF The star:
1t is amazing how little attention is being
paid to the so-called International Bill of
Rights now being drafted for PRONUNCIATION by
the General Assembly of the United Nations.
If it is adopted it may affect the Bill of Rights
in our Federal Constitution, the bills of rights
In the various State constitutions and the
State and Federal laws now existing.
One may not object to most of the pro-
visions in the International Bill of Rights
Though many of them may be meaningless,
pious prattle, such as the provision that every
one has the right to rest and leisure and the
provision that mothers and children have the
right to special care and assistance), but one
should object to the method by which the
International Bill of Rights becomes a part
of the law of our land.
Laws binding upon us individual citizens
should be enacted by legislatures chosen by
the people, but the International Bill Of
Rights may become law through the use Of
a treaty or even without that and simply by
or through an adoption Of declaration by
the United Nations Assembly and approval
by the President.
Though the prattle in the presently pro-
posed International Bill Of Rights may be un-
Objectionable, 1t could be amended by the
same process and provide for what is OBJ
jectionabe.
The treaty method of legislation should be
closely observed by the American people. This
method is not democratic 1t Is autocratic and
totalitarian in nature r. WILSON

ground) leader, Menachem Beigin seemed to
me to have q very curious title-"A Courageous
Protest"
The Star has a right to its opinion Of Mr.
Beigin-as assuredly have the gentlemen re-
ferred to in your editorial cannot, however,
see anything particularly courageous in these
gentlemen writing letters to the sponsors OF
the dinner attempting to pressure those spon-
sors into withdrawing their support.
do not know where DR.. Coffin or Father La
Farge's sympathies in regard to Palestine lie.
I cannot remember ever seeing their names on
any list which promoted the cause OF Israel.
That, of course, may be an oversight on my
part. I do know that Rabbi Lazaron for
good many years has been a most vociferous
member of that tiny minority of American
Jews who fought against q Jewish state The
vast majority of American Jews, I am sure,
would not consider him as representing their
views on anything pertaining to Israel
So far as the Irgun and Mr.. Begin are con-
cerned, I am convinced that the day viii
come when the facts are known to all, that the
"outrages" will be seen to have been acts COM
mitted by the ruthless and lawless British gov
ernment against a small apd almost defense
less people. I think that Mr.. Begin and his
Irgun will take their places with those heroes
and idealists Of every age and nation who were
willing to lay down their lives for the freedom

The Seriousness of Art


The third annual Corcoran art exhibit caused
q storm of protest in the limited choosing OF
only 20 paintings out of 900 entries.
A critical and honest survey Of the pictures
in the exhibition indicates that the great ma
jority were singularly lacking in talent. If
this seemingly drastic judging seems harsh,
perhaps sincere analysis of the paintings will
reveal that survey of the work that would
have been included ordinarily displayed no
creative feeling poor techniques and bad use Of
color.
There are thousands of amateurs and pro-
fessionals painting today, but the amateurs ex-
ced the professionals in numbers. Very few OF
these amateurs realize the seriousness of OBJ
tanning the qualities that are required OF
mature artist. Art Is and always has been
serious study. In past centuries only the very
best minds were concerned with its creation
but since the turn of the century, with the
new theory, individual and original express
sion," every one is trying to jump on the band
wagon by slapping out that's the way feel
about it" pictures.
The time has come for the museum to adopt
a standard of quality and separate the good
from the bad in contemporary art. AS for the
creative artist who remains ahead of his time
he should be encouraged, although need for
Interpretation will exist to narrow the gap
between artist and public. So far this need for
Interpretation has not been carried out.
