who see things whole. are We not in danger
of creating race of what Ortega Gasset
has called educated ignoramuses type
opening the way to tyranny and terror
on an unprecedented scale?
For his own part, DR.. Burchard has not
come forward with answers. BY implica-
ton, however, he seems TO have placed
himself in that growing company Of sa-
wants who shudder at what may happen in
the world of tomorrow if man becomes
much more goddess than he is now. What
this suggests, of course is that humanity,
If it is not to be swept away in the fury
of its own passions by the annihiating
power of its own works, must somehow get
back to its ancient spiritual moorings and
conduct itself as a race high above the
level of the jungle and only little lower
than the angels.

So Far, So Good

The House finally has passed bill which
will put stop to the protection OF butter
mt public expense.
This bill, adopted by vote Of 287 to
80, abolishes all Federal taxes on oleo-
margarine In one form or another this
punitive tax has survived for sixty three
years. It died hard, but so far as the
House Is concerned it is dead now
Prior to passage, the House bill also was
stripped of provision which would have
prevented the interstate shipment OF
colored margarine. The effect of this pro-
vision which was cooked up by the Agri-
culture Committee, would have been
greatly to curtail the availability of the
colored product, and might well have been
more punitive than the 10-cents-a-pound
tax.
The bill now goes to the Senate. A
similar measure in the preceding Congress
was lost in the Senate in the last-m1nute
rush. There will be no excuse for that
this time The Senate has opportunity
to act, and it ought to pass this measure.
If this is done, there will remain in effect,
of course, various State restraints on
margarine production and sale. But the
Federal Government at least will have
washed its hands of a business that is
as unprincipled as it is unfair to the
consumer.

criticizing. because he mentions increase IN
juvenile delinquency. and Fagin was
specialist in that. 1t is true that most mod

and subject matter. So other factors IN
that increase in delinquency must be found.
Those usually mentioned are motion pic
lures. gangster radio programs. comic strips,
automobiles. and lack of church and home
influence. To blame the increase on a
vague progressive type of education is plac-
ing too much responsibility on schools and
does not improve conditions
Overemphasis also on some particular
method of instruction is an indication OF
little thought on the problem of education.
We see millions OF successful persons in all

desirable so long as sincerity and tolerance

Who are these Big Wigs. to decide VINO

courses?
They don't care about the taxpayers who
have to line up from tee 70 so-called green

Why don't all Of us who pay the bill start

Shakespeare on N

This generation, which accepts without
question the working of the iconoscope IN
the television camera, may yet come to
marvel at the Elizabethan mind.
Shakespeare was telecast yesterday.
The Amherst College players performance
of julius Caesar in the Folger Library
Theater may be historic one.
In making the literature of the stage
familiar, television may parallel radio,
which won O large public for great orcnes-
trail music. And whenever Shakespeare's
dramas come on the screen the home au-
diences will be impressed with his work
magic, If only that he wrote so many
enduring quotations.
Standing over the body of slain Caesar,
with the television lenses on him, Cassius
seemed incomplete in prophecy when he
said:
How many ages hence,
Shall this our lofty scene be acted over
In states unborn and accents yet un-
knoWn!"

A Sforzo Of the Sforzos

Count Carlo Sforza, here to sign the
North Atlantic pact, is no stranger in Wash
ington. He has visited this city on many
occasions, resided here for lengthy periods,
kept in touch with friends here constantly
during the course of three decades. His
work as career diplomat has made
his contact with the Capital of the United
States natural. 1t was to Washington that
he came when the viciSsitudes of his long
struggle against Fascism rendered him an
exile Yet not everybody knows the back
ground of his life or understands exactly
why Washington must seem more like
home to him than any other place outside
his beloved native Italy
The honored name he bears traces back
nearly six centuries. His family was estab
lished by Giacomuzzo Attended,, who was
born in the Romagna in 1859 Kidnapped
by adventures. he became their COM
mander by the exercise of a genius for
leadership, was commissioned constable of
Naples under Joanna II and created a
count by Pope Martin v. Sforza, signifying
strong" or "forceful," originally was
sobriquet adopted on the field Of battle,
The first to render it famous set an exam
pie of valor in which his descendants
take pride. BY 1447 the family ruled Milan,
building great castles and churches there
for a court which was distinguished by
poets and painters of the highest order.
Among the artists attracted by the gener-
osity of the clan was Bernardino Luini
whose canvases now are treasured beyond
price.
Three SforZa dukes left indelible i'm
pressions upon history. Francesca, Clan
Galeazzo and Ludovico il Moro dealt with
emperors and kings on approximately
equal terms Their fortunes rose and fell
and, possibly on that very account, their
legend never has faded. Count Carlo, the
incumbent Foreign Minister of the Italian
Republic, belongs to a collateral branch
of the tribe but his own experiences fol-
low the standard pattern of Sforza tradi-
ton. Himself scholar, he appreciates
the points of resemblance. In Washington
especially he is close to the family. The
National Gallery has many relics of its
Renaissance grandeur-white marble bas
reliefs of II Moro and Clan Galeazzo and
portraits of Francesca, Ginevra and Blanca
Maria among the number.

I have been a resident OF the District for
the past 20 years and Jimmie La Fontaine
and Sam Beard are the only two have ever
heard of who we're made TO suffer. Now why
not license gambling and let the city get the
odds? You're not going to eliminate 1t by
raids and arrests but only scatter 1t all over.
How about the quiet little games OF draw.

German Trade and Us

The issue of Germany's foreign trade
revival and our interest therein are en-
phasized by the German Industrial Exhibi-
ton about to open in New York City. At
that showing, slated for Rockefeller Center,
more than 500 German concerns will dis
play samples of typical German industrial
products. Most of these come from the
combined American and British occupa
ton zones. The exhibition itself is
promoted and conducted by the Anglo
American Joint Export-Import Agency,
which handles the foreign trade of
Bizonia. And 1t is the hope of JEIA that
the event will notably stimulate Ger
man imports to this country.
Our practical interest in German foreign
trade expansion is emphasized by the
agency official in charge of the exhibition.
He points out that despite more than
doubling of German exports since the
close of the war, we took German goods
last year to the value of only $50 ,000,0 600,
whereas our exports to Germany in the
same period exceeded $800,000,000. Fur
thermore, most of those exports were
food and bulk products. This enormous
trade unbalance is, of course, carried by
the american taxpayer, either through
direct appropriations or ECA. The load
we be-. in carrying Western Germany
averages 1000, 100000 per year.
Nothing would be more eficacious in
tightening that load than our purchase
of German products. Paul Hoffman, ECA
Administrator, recently stated that the
United States can profitably absorb an
increase of European exports amounting
to $2,50O, ,000, 900. And Germany must get
a fair portion of this If 1t Is to earn the
dollar exchange 1t so sorely needs In order
again to become paying customer for
American goods. For it should be under
stood that, at present, dollar shortage
precludes German purchases of American
manufactures. It's present imports from
us, enormous though they are In value
and volume, consist almost wholly OF
foodstuffs and raw materials.

Humanity in Tomorrow's World

In his address at the Mid-Century Con-
vocation of the Massachusetts, Institute OF
Technology, DR.. John Ely Burchard, Dean
of the Humanities, had some trencnant
things to say about man and the world OF
tomorrow.
That world, according to Dr. Burchard,
will almost surely see tremendous new ao-
yances in science. Thus, "the early conquest
of space is probable" and the ability to
control mans thoughts with precision Is by
no means out of the question" Such future
DEVELOPMENTS, however, If wrongly used,
will have consequences "even more forolo-
ding than the consequences OF the one
big present threat which will not down.
namely, the threat implicit in the har-
messed atom So humanity's problem-a
problem likely to become more pressing as
time goes on-is to learn to live with itself
and with its own awesome good-and-evil
works in a manner that will make life de-
cent enough and safe enough to be worth
living.
To that end, in DR. Burchards Judgment,
the eartt's resources will have to be used
wisely and well to keep the worlds ever
growing population adequately clothed and
fed-a clear and towering imperative in
view of the fact that If human beings con-
tinue to multiply at the present rate, their
numbers will double from 1000, 100000 to
1000, 900, 900 in the next 100 years. Further
than that, to promote peace in so crowded
q planet, it will be necessary not only to
produce enough food and clothing, but also
to work out fair distribution of the good
things of life. But more will be required
than the mere fulf1llment of physical
wants, for safe and decent international
society could not be attained "if these ami
hal satisfactions remained the sole ac-
complishment of man." What Is needed,
in addition, and perhaps above all, Is some
great new spiritual regeneration.
Dr. Burchard has not set forth any clear
course as far as the spirit is concerned, but
he has suggested a number of pointed
questions Has science despite its practical
benefits, strangled something much higher
and much more important than the prac-
tical? What common faith can people have
now when the emphasis is on material
ism that regards man not as child OF
God but simply as bit of flesh with no
destiny beyond coming from nothing, living
for a while, and then dying to return to
eternal and meaningless negation? If hu-
man beings are thus to be considered in
q class with the beasts of the field, If they
are to think of themselves as creatures
whose sole purpose is to get the most out
Of life because death ends everything, will
1t be possible to build wiser, healthier
safer and happier world7 And finally, with
such basic philosophy and with an edu-
cational system that concentrates on train
ing byslliant specialists rather than mer
