ary in the extreme-the more so because
up to the present only relatively minute
and fragmentary part Of 1t has been put
into effect. Nevertheless, as emphasized
by Assistant Secretary of State George
Allen. head of our delegation at Beirut,
the fact still remains that the precarious
peace only sharpens the challenge to
UNESCO" and to all war-weary peoples
hoping and praying to see its objectives
attained.
In other words, despite the discourage
ments besetting the current forty-four-
nation conference, the goals involved, no
matter how distant they may be, are goals
that mankind cannot safely abandon. 1t
is UNESCOs significant responsibility
the responsibility of a missionary-to keep
the inspirational torch afiame and to move
forward with it as vigorously as possible
To surrender to cynicism or defeatism here
would be simply to deny that the world
can save itself from suicide.

Shucks, Mr.. Ickes

While one is apt to forget such things
in the press of less trivial details, there
Is an occasional reminder that the
columnist, Harold L. Ickes, is still in cir
culation. One is his letter in todays
Star, which Enthusiastically reads into
the editorial which prompted it meanings
which were not there. That is not sur
prising. A more apt reminder that Mr.
Ickes is still among us has reached The

of a newspaper column which appeared
under his by-line in the Panama Star
and Herald OF November 7, last It Is
reproduced by permission in the adjoining

Truman lost the election, 1t brings back a

A Victory for the PUG


In the so-called Pentagon joint-fare case
Is a clear-cut victory for the Dlstrlct
Public Utilities Commission in its long
drawn -out jurisdictional controversy Win
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Appellate Judge Wilbur X. Miller and Dis
ttrict Court Judges Alexander Holtzof1 and
Edward Tamm have upheld without res
;ervation the exclusive right of the District
PUC to regulate intrastate transportation
In the District of Columbia. The right
lad been unquestioned until the 1CC
attempted after the war to prolong an
emergency transfer arrangement between
the Capital Transit Company and two
Virginia buslines, despite discontinuance
of Capital Transit service to the Pentagon
and several other Federal of1ces IN
Arlington.
It has been indicated that the ICC will
appeal the decision. If that is the case,
the present makeshift receipt system,
under which buyers of joint tickets even
tually would collect six cents for each
ride In event of a reversal OF the lower
courts ruling, would go on until maj
determination of the legal issues. the
receipt plan is troublesome for everybody
concerned. The sooner the courts are done
with the case, the better for those who
must put up with the existing unsatis-
factory arrangement.
The Government employees at the Penta-
con, the Navy Annex and the National
Airport stand to lose by the decision OF
the three judges, but that Is not the fault
OF the court. 1t is the fault OF no one In
particular. It results from the lack OF
any regulatory body directly concerned
with the problems of groups in the position
of the Federal workers across the river.
The ICC UNDERSTANDABLE has been inter-
ested in the joint-fare case, for without
the special fare arrangement the civil
servants in nearby Virginia must use Two
buslines to reach their homes in wash
ington-and hence pay full fares to both.
This means that Pentagon worker must
pay twenty-five cents under the transfer
plan, or twenty-three cents in cash, for
ride which would not cost him nearly so
much If the entire trip were made in one
eompany's bus.
But for the ICC to attempt to dx
reduced fare within the District for the
benefit of the special group on the other
side of the Potomac is, the court ruled,
beyond the power of the 1CC. There
should be some agency with authority to
consider the plight of this group, however.
It is probable that unless and until
Metropolitan Area PUG Is created, by
interstate compact, such twilight-zone
utility problems will continue to puzzle
jurisdictional authorities and to annoy
the public

UNESCO's Mission

The third general conference Of the
United Nations Educational Scientific and
Cultural Organization has opened in Beirut,
Lebanon, at q moment when international
events seem to be making a grim nockery
of all its high ideals and objectives. Yet
that very fact-the fact that its efforts
appear dreamily unrealistic in the ugly
light of such things as the Berlin blockade
and the Iron Curtains in itself not only
a sound argument for the existence OF
UNESCO but also challenge to peace
loving peoples everywhere to support 1t In
what it is trying to do.
For this is U. NJ agency with special
missionary task of the first Importance,
and current obstacles and discouragements
should not be allowed to undermine 1t. In
the words of its constitution, Ignorance OF
each others ways and lives has been a
common cause throughout the history of
mankind OF that suspicion and nistrust
between the peoples of the world through
which their differences have all too often
broken into war" Hence, predicating its
program on the principle that since armed
conflict thus begins "in the minds of men,
1t is in the minds of men that the defenses
of peace must be constructed" UNESCO
is dedicated to a kind of crusade to culti-
vate the art of human relations and pro-
mote the greatest possible measure Of
understanding and cooperation in all parts
of the globe.
To that end. it is pursuing these major
obiectives, among others: Cd The recon-
struction and rehabilitation of educational
enterprises in war-devastated countries;
(2) a worldwide program to end illiteracy,
preach harmony, encourage personal and
community hygiene and help handicapped
children; 60 the promotion of inter-
national Institutes to bring about a sharing
of cultures; a. global cooperation to con-
serve the earths natural resources, set up
far-f1ung research centers, make habitable
Hitherto uninhabitable areas, and advance
scientific developments for the benefit of
all mankind; (5 an offensive against war
breeding economic, social, racial and other
tensions among nations; and 60 the estab-
lishment of projects to stimulate freedom
of travel and a great interchange of in
formation, scientists, educators and stu
dents-in short, the breaking down of the
Iron Curtain.
OF course, read against the dismal back
ground of today's events, an ambitious
program of this sort may seem to be vision

No Nobel Peace Prize

Decision of the Norwegian Nobel Prize
Committee to dispense with naming
Nobel Peace Prize winner for 1948 will
occasion little surprise. While many per-
sons and organizations have worked dill
gently for peace during these trying
months, the drab fact is that peace today
continues to be an elusive goal. It is
sad commentary on the state OF the world
three years after the close of World War II
that no contribution to the cause OF peace
has been sufficiently noteworthy this year
to warrant special recognition.
individuals and nations for the most
part have striven to solve the problem as
earnestly as ever, despite the most dis
heartening sort of Observation-Disclosures
raised by one nation and its satellites. But
the cold war goes on apace. Fear and un-
rest persist in many lands Although the
United Nations has struggled to meet the
challenge, fighting has marred the year
in the Holy Land, in Greece and in China.
The threat of another worldwide conflict
has not been eliminated.
Last year the peace award went to the
Society of Friends, in recognition of that
remarkable organizations steadfast work
for peace and good will among men. The
serve to center attention of the peoples
of the world on their own failure to achieve
a lasting peace. All right-minded persons
meanwhile can only hope and pray that
the Nobel Committee next year will have
good reason to resume its awards to makers
of peace.

Bipurtisunship Reaffirmed

In appointing John Foster Dulles as
acting chairman of the American delega-
ton to the United Nations, the President
has made a gesture whose significance
should not be lost on the Kremlin. In
effect, the action serves to inform the
world at large-particularly the Russians
that Mr.. Truman is holding fast to our
bipartisan foreign policy and that its
essentials will remain what they were
before the November election.
This should be especially instructive to
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov and Ilya
Ehrenburg of Pravda. A fortnight ago,
turning reality upside down, they hailed
Governor Dewey's defeat as a clear sign
that the American electorate had rejected
Evening star., 1948-11-19

"a frankly reactionary and aggressive pro-
gram" against the U. 8. 8. r. They went
on from there to give the Russian people
the impression that most Of our voters
really wanted to elect Henry Wallace but
that they decided not to cast their ballots
for him because they feared that that
might help the "war-minded" Republi-
cans to win. Accordingly, in the Molotov-
Ehrenburg Interpretation, they voted in
stead for the "less war minded" Democrats.
Presumably, this absurd version of our
election results was put out as home-front
propaganda to persuade the Russian people
that America is not united on such funda-
mentals of foreign policy as the Marshall
Plan, Greek aid, the proposed North At
lantic security pact and other measures
aimed at checking new Soviet aggression.
If by any chance, however, the men OF
the Kremlin have themselves been deluded
by the Molotov- -Ehrenburg humbug, they
ought to realize now that they have grossly
misread the meaning of what happened
here on November 2; they ought to have
no doubt whatever that Republicans and
Democrats still see eye to eye on the inter-
national essentials.
Certainly, Mr.. Truman has made the
point abundantly clear. In naming Mr.
Dulles to serve as acting chairman in
Paris during Secretary Marshalls absence
he has named Republican who has been
Governor Dewey's key adviser on world
affairs. BY so doing, he has reaffirmed.
in a most effective way, the continuing
bipartisan nature of our foreign policy
There could be no better answer to the
monumental Molotov-E v-Ehrenburg distor-
ton of our election returns.

Importance of Foreign Missions
The Crossroads
Bu Brodie Burnham

importance OF TOrelSn missions
To the Editor Of The Star:
I wish herewith to express my very deep
appreciation Of the fine editorial concerning
the Importance Of the Foreign Missions
gathering that was held in Washington last
week. OF course it is nothing new for The
Star to take note Of religious gatherings and
to comment editorially on the importance and
significance of Christianity. This is one of the
features Of The Star that has endeared it to
us during our long residence in washington.
At this time in the worlds history, how
ever, 1t is of particular Importance that q
newspaper of so wide an influence as The
Star should stress the need of world evan
gelisation as factor in the rebuilding and
sterilization Of civilization. Certainly now is
a time for the Christian Church to rally Its
forces to make effective the Gospel Of Jesus
Christ In all the world for the restoration of
peace or rather for the bringing of true peace
to all peoples BY your editorial on the i'm
portance Of the Foreign Mission enterprise
you have helped further this cause.

De GouIIe and Germany


de Gaulle as a personality, no matter now
naughty, rude or quarrelsome his nature,
and whether or not he has dictatorlal
ambitions, he is nevertheless a decidedly
powerful political force in France. For
that reason, even though 1t seems Ill
founded and unjustifiably bitter, his critl-
cism of Anglo-American policy toward
Germany must be weighed seriously here
in Washington and in London.
The criticism covers broad helo, out
it has to do mainly with the recent Anglo
American decision to name German trus-
tees to administer the industries OF the
Ruhr. This step has been taken with one
major objective in mind-namely, to in
crease the efficiency and productivity OF
the region in order to speed up the recovery
of the Marshall Plan countries In Western
Europe General de Gaulle, however, does
not 20 along with that view. He regards
the move as far-reaching and dangerous
step toward reviving the military power OF
Germany.
AS he purports to see the situation,
Britain and the United States are seeking
to "remake the German Empire" as q
buffer against the Soviet Union. BY imph-
cation at least, belittling the Marshall
Plan, striking q blow at the western
Union alliance, and giving voice to his
own grandiose view Of how the world
should be run, he casts aspersions on
Anglo-American good faith in dealing with
France. Describing the decision on the
Ruhr as the "gravest' yet made "in the
whole twentieth century," he warns that
1t paves the way for resurgent Germany
that will be capable once more of menac-
ing the French and working out another
double crossing deal with Russia, just as
in the days of Hitler.
This is q bad-tempered and unfair
assessment of Anglo-American policy
particularly so because it is based on
assumptions that seem altogether reckless
in view of the fact that the defnitive
German peace treaty has yet to be written
and General de Gaulle therefore has no
way of knowing how the Ruhr will finally
be dealt with or what guarantees will
be established against the revival OF q
militaristic Germany. Even so, his words
cannot be dismissed with nothing but
indignant disclaimers. The French people
have real justification to fear the thing
he warns against. They have had their
fill of Germans on the march, and they
have good reason to worry about the
danger of some future Ribbentrop-M -Molotov
deal all over again.
In the circumstances, considering that
General de Gaulle may come to full polit-
ical power one of these days, and consider
ing also that many people in France have
deep-rooted suspicious about the trend Of
Anglo-American policy, prudence would
seem to demand that some special effort
be made to clear the air. Ill-founded as
1t may be, the de Gaulle criticism needs
to be answered with facts and assurances
convincing the French that their security
interests are being protected and that the
West is not unwittingly laying the ground
work for q new Germany as mighty, cruel
and amoral as the old.

Deplores 'Commercialized Holidays

Deplores 'Commercialized Holidays
To the Editor Of The Star:
The tendency to commercialize our holidays
has grown increasingly stronger. After the
older ones have been firmly entrenched, new
holidays are created and put forward. Happy
Aunt Minnie" days are. an established part OF
our national life. On Mothers Day, the florists
and candy venders rub their HANDS in glee; on
Fathers Day, the clothing merchants scrape
the bottom of the barrel for scraps of old
material for Dads necktie.
We are particularly cognizant Of the approach
of Christmas at this time. The drive formerly
started after Thanksgiving Day. but the open
ing date has been stepped up from year to
year, and already it is in full swing. This is
the real big event. 1t has spot for all, and
every one can get into the act, including people
who have nothing to sell. There is the army
Of service people who not only expect but
also, In a great many cases, ask for gifts. In
most of the buildings, the elevator boys put
out q box for the Offering" The man who
cleans up greets you with his yearly smile and
has the look of expectancy. The many Santa
Clauses don their soiled whiskers and red
raiment and set up shop for their gloriied beg
ging on each and every street corner in the
downtown area.
The basic psychology behind the drive is to
make everybody feel like an outcast if he does
not give something to everybody else. There is
the perfect gift for every one of the relatives,
the friends, the acquaintances, and even the
fellow you pass on the street. Usually, these
perfect and timely gifts are utterly inappro-
pirate and must be exchanged, in desperation,
for something equally inappropriate.
Christmas shopping particularly has de-
generated into q distasteful chore. Surely,
it is charitable to give. but why do business
establishments have to be 50 mercenary about
getting that Yankee dollar"2 The true signif-
icance of our holidays Is in danger of being
lost under heavy covering Of materialism.
