UNESCO Exhibition

The exhibition of material relating to
the United Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organization, opening at the
Library of Congress tonight and contin-
uing until the end Of March, is not high
brow" in character. On the contrary 1t
represents the ideal of universal folk
wisdom, demonstration of the elemental
mother wit" which to greater or lesser
degree distinguishes all peoples wherever
they may dwell. ALI civilized countries
export their civilizations. It is implicit in
honorable living to wish to share with
others. No man lives to himself alone. At
best he merely exists in isolated misery.
The same observation applies to whole
communities. Thus it happened that
James Smithson, more than century ago.
pledged his fortune to the establishment
of an American institution "for the in
crease and diffusion Of knowledge" His
philanthropy was of piece with the
dreams of Erasmus and Sir-and Saint
Thomas More, Of Franklin and Jefferson,
Andrew Carnegie and Alfred Nobel and
Cecil Rhodes, Woodrow Wilson and scores
of other men who have deserved to be
called citizens of the whole wide earth.
UNESCO is a modern, up-to-date ex-
emplification Of the same great hope and
aspiration. The display at the Library is
direct result of meeting of delegates
of Al member nations at Mexico City last
November 1t shows the first fruits of an
endeavor which providentially may in
crease in scope and power from year to
year until it includes every state, every
city, every town under the sun. Nothing
partisan mars it. Rather, it transcends all
arbitrary boundaries of politics, econom-
les, creeds, deinitive schools of thought
If it were necessary to summarize the
entire conception in single word, Eek
change" would suffice And If proof be
demanded for the efficiency of such
mutuality, it may be had from the expert
ence of the United States in its distribu-
ton of official publications to Belgium,
Brazil, Italy, Portugal, Serbia, Spain and
Switzerland under the Brussels Treaty Of
1885 and to the republics of the Western
Hemisphere under the Buenos Aires con-
vention of 1896.
What UNESCO is doing is to develop
the machinery Of cultural cooperation
even more effectively. DR.. Luther H. Evans,
Librarian of Congress, himself has been
a leader in this bulwarking of the San
Francisco Charter in constructive practice.
The exhibition he has arranged reflects
his enthusiasm and zeal. It Is an achieve
ment which many visitors surely will
appreciate

Bizonio's Economic Government

The native administrator which goes
into effect today by joint decree of the
American and British occupation author
tiles in Germany Is something unprece-
dented in modern annals But 1t is a
needful innovation to flt into an even
more unprecedented situations major
country which has at least temporarily
lost It's sovereignty and is effectively par
titioned among four Great Powers.
It is to the inability of those powers to
agree on the rehabilitation of Germany
that this singular innovation is due. Faced
with the deepening economic paralysis OF
their occupation zones and the heavy
attendant burdens on their own treasures,
the United States and Britain have
evolved measure which is expected to
enlist German effort and initiative in the
task Of restoring their crippled economic
life. The result is regime which can best
be described as an economic government.
It has no political power and no diplo-
matte status. Yet it possesses most of the
attributes of normal government on the
economic side. There is to be two
chamber legislature, an executive commit
tee, supreme court and bank Of credit
and issue.
This new set-up, federative in character,
is superimposed on the eight Land" or
regional governments which were orig
inally set up by the victors after their
occupation of the former Reich. The
Laender continue to exist and retain many
of their functions, but they are henceforth
to play a relatively subordinated and CO.
ordinated role. This economic government
is likewise the logical result Of q process
which began more than year ago with
the economic and administrative merger
of the American and British occupational
authorities in what was of1cially termed
the Combined Area" unonicially called
"Bizonia." This latter term is now better
justified, since the merged Anglo-Am
can zones will henceforth constitute
definite entity.
This noteworthy change does not pass
unchallenged. Soviet Russia is bitterly
opposed to it, claims that it is violation
of the Potsdam and other inter Allied
agreements, and charges that the English
speaking powers have deliberately split
Germany. France is likewise uneasy at
any uloVe tlldG GelluS W uIu1y cVeu pdIG VI
the former Reich and which may evolve
from the economic to the political sphere.
French apprehensions can probably be
overcome, with the hoped-for result that
the French sphere will eventually be
merged with the present Combined Area
into "Trizonia" The recalcitrance of
Moscow, however, looks unsurmountable,
and Soviet counter-rrloves are expected
Regrettable though such actions may be,
Washington and London are going ahead
with plan which both deem vitality nec-
essary. Moscow has left them no other
alternative

Honorinq Lunier

Members of the National Federation Of
Stamp Clubs are being polled for their
views on proposed postage stamp for
Sidney Lanier. What the result will be is
anybodys guess, but the nonphilatelic
public also should be interested in the
outcome and, it would seem, would be
pleased if the verdict were favorable.
Lanier deserves the honor. He was a
singularly attractive figure. AS poet, he
represents the South at Its best, especially
in THE Marshes Of Glynn." Likewise in
his work as prose writer he strove for the
highest peaks of achievement-not in vain.
His books for boys, particularly his re-
writings of Froissart and the King Arthur
legends, Influenced several generations Of
young men and even now may be read
