Urges Appreciation of Freedom

Urges Appreciation of Freedom
70 the Editor Of The Star:
Recently while at the Phillips Gallery. view
ing Oscar Kokoschka's paintings, had the
opportunity to hear the painter himself speak.
One thing in particular that he said stood out
in my mind. This wonderful country of yours,
this what you call democracy" he said in
broken English, 1T is something that cannot
be described in words. 1t Is something feel
I see freedom, I feel freedom in this great
country of yours"
How little we appreciate our freedom! We
who have so much and take it so for granted.
But We must preserve 1t before it is too late.
1t is We the youth, who must take more interest
in our country and stand up against all things
subversive. And we must do 1t now.
Remember the Roman empire once was the:
greatest empire on earth, but lack Of patriotism
and disunion caused its downfall.
Don't sit Idly by and let the weeds grow and
strangle all of the roses in the garden and

Yet perhaps on that very account he was
an ideal parish priest. successful home
missioner. People were his vocation. He
was happiest in a cfowd. The problems
of humanity in their individualistic aspects
fascinated him, and nothing pleased him
more than to solve an issue which at first
had seemed inSoluble.
His career spanned the whole history of
the Diocese of Washington from 1895 to

Woshinqton's lnouquruI Role

There Is nothing like an oldfashioned
inaugural parade, with all the trimmings
and a few extras, to stir washington into
a pleased acceptance of its quadrennial
responsibilities as the setting for a presi-
dental Inauguration. However accustomed
the city may be to great national events,
however neglected its voteless residents
may feel when Presidents are being elected,
the city invariably welcomes with pride
and pleasure the opportunity Of playing
host to the Nations great, near-great and
Just plain citizens. 1t would take blase
municipality indeed that would not respond
to the spirit of expectancy and exuberance
at such time as this. Y
There Is more reason for excitement now
than on some similar occasions in the past,
for this will not be an ordinary inaugura-
ton. There is much to set it apart from
those of recent memory 1t may not be
the biggest ever held-although this is
matter of debate-but it will certainly take
rank with the gayer and more colorful
in inaugural annals. And it will have the
distinction, moreover, Of being the first
ever televsed and hence of having more
spectators than any in history.
From the glamorous Hollywoodlike spec
tacle at the Armory tonight with its TOO
artists and instrumentalists, to the eli
mactic inaugural ball tomorrow night in
the same great hall, the program reflects
a war-weary Nations letdown from the
tensions of war years The last prewar
inaugural parade was geared to the tempo
of impending war, with the emphasis on
military might Tomorrow's parade, while
including military units, will give prom
inence to festive peacetime floats, symbolic
Of traditions, ideals and activities of the
various States.
Washington, emulating the example OF
its First Citizen, President Truman. will
join Fundamentally in all these functions,
although none of its citizens can hope to
equal the exhausting role which Mr..
Truman. with evident relish has marked
out for himself The Nations Capital is
glad not only to serve as the backdrop Tor
a historic function of Government, but,
through its citizens and organizations, to
be actual cocelebrants of the event.

Russian Navy Defended

To the Editor OF The star:

at Tsushima MAY, 1so5) by an inferior jap

Sour Note

There Is no reason for any great sur
prise at the Senate's action yesterday in
killing the bill to exempt some Of the
Inauguration ceremony tickets from the
Federal amusement tax.
The issue was perfect one for the
Republican politicians. No Senator could
be hurt. They get free tickets for them
selves and friends in the elegant stands
at the Capitol, built at taxpayers expense.
The only people apt to suffer seriously are
the beneficiaries of the Community Chest.
They would have profited from any surplus
over the funds already spent in building
stands for the common people. That prof1t
can now be turned over to the Treasury,
where it can be spent in adding more
people to the public payroll.
Washington citizens who guaranteed the
fund to build the stands along Pennsyl-
vania avenue, there being no other funds
available, may get nicked. They were
called on to underwrite necessary ex-
pense for a public ceremony. But they
have no votes anyway, so it makes no
particular difference to the Senators
whether or not they get their money back.
There was little discussion In the
Senate debate of the equities involved.
The Senators were thinking of bigger
things. They had an opportunity to en-
barrass, in a picayune sort OF way, the
incoming President. And the opportunity
for demonstration of minority strength,
aided by q few Democrats, was too great
a one to be overlooked.
The next Inauguration, however, may
be even bigger and better. Everything can
be done by a Government board, paid for
with public funds. The taxpaying citizen
probably will be extinct by that time
anyway. Plush seats for the people can
be put up with money from the Treasury.
Everything will be free, not only the circus.

POLICING the Ruhr

In setting up trizonal military security
board, France, Britain and the United
States have acted In accord with one OF
the main provisions of the agreement
recently worked out in London for the
control of the Ruhr. The agreement,
which includes Luxembourg, Belgium and
the Netherlands as the other signatories,
and which Is to remain in effect for an
indefinite period-presumably until
definitive peace treaty is put into force
requires that specific measures be taken
to prevent Germany's productive power
from ever again being harnessed for war.
Accordingly, through the mechanism OF
the new board, the Anglo-French- -Ameri-
can occupying authorities will supervise
policing and inspection system designed to
render impossible the revival of German
armed might. To that end, the board
which will assume, among other duties,
the demilitarization functions of the
Russian-wrecked quadripartite Allied Con-
troll Council-will play twofold role: Cd
It will "harnionize and complete" all the
legislative and regulatory steps already
taken for security purposes, and (2) 1t will
operate in three special divisions. with
inspectors and enforcement agents, to
guard against either military, industrial or
scientific rearmament.
Thus, as explained in an off1clal sum-
mary, the board will be expected TO
prevent the resurgence of military organ1-
cations and the militaristic spirit" In the
field of personnel. At the same time, IN
the field of industry, it will be charged with
the responsibility of insuring "the imple-
mentation of such prohibitive and restr1c-
tive measures" as the occupying powers
may agree upon Finally, in the f1eld OF
scientific research and development IN
Western Germany, "it will make sure that
no activity is directed toward war objec-
tives." In attempting to carry out these
duties moreover, it will be empowered,
whenever it deems the action advisable to
Inspect various plants and establishments
on q surprise basis, without giving prior
notice to the German management.
In sum- the new security board will act
as the enforcing teeth of the London
agreement to establish a strict inter-
national authority over the Ruhr in order
TO promote the recovery of Europe without
simultaneously enabling Germany to stage
a riltaristic comeback. Obviously, this is
not going to be easy. For one thing, the
board almost certainly will run into diff
culties in trying to determine the dividing
line between peaceful activities and activi-
ties that could serve war objectives-par-
ticularly so in the field of science, where
there are few projects that do not have
military potentials. Beyond that, the Com
munists can be counted upon to stir up as
much trouble as they can out of the resent
ment and opposition already expressed by
the Western Germans against the long
term policing of their productive power.
Yet, until final peace treaty is written
and other guarantees are established, some
such eontrol-wisely adninistered-wil be

Un-Americon PURGE

Although the methods adopted by the
Democratic leadership to purge the House
Committee on Un-American Activities were
devious, 1t may be said that there was
some Justification for them in the case of
Representative Rankin of Mississippi
The leaders got rid of him by adopting
rule to the effect that any one serving
as chairman of another important COM
mittee could not be member Of the Un-
American group. Mr.. Rankin. as member
of the Un-American Committee. was re-
garded as a political liability. This was
due in part to his own conduct, in other
and perhaps greater part to a vigorous
propaganda campaign that has been
waged against him. But the fact
remains that to have kept him on the
committee might have reacted adversely
to the Democratic Party and therefore
there is certain logic in easing him out
The same thing is hardly true, however,
of Representative Hebert of Louisiana. He
has been one of the moderate members Of
the committee The propaganda guns
from left of center have not been trained
on him, and it is hard to see how there

in keeping him on the group. Conse-
quently, the decision to oust him by adopt
ing a rule limiting membership to expert
enced lawyers looks like what he says 1t
is-a punishment for his activities in be-
half of the States Rights ticket.
Whatever one may think of this purge
and the motivation for it, however, 1t is
evident that the Democratic leaders do
not intend to set up substitute commit
tee that will be simply a whitewashing
agency. The new men selected for mem
bership are competent lawyers, they are
not in any sense sympathizers with the
Communist viewpoint, and they can be
expected to do good job of carrying on
the investigation. Their activity may be
less sensational, but 1t is not apt to be
any less thorough on that account.

Greek Mess

The current cabinet crisis in Greece
latest in long and melancholy series
indicates something very like bankruptcy
In the political affairs of that unhappy
country. And 1t Is most unlikely that this
impending insolvency can be averted even
though nimble- -witted politicos succeed in
concocting a new cabinet out of materials
so worn and worm-eaten that 1t would
soon prove as jerry-built as it's predeces-
sors.
The sad fact is that the existing parlia-
mentary structure has proved to be un-
workable and is thoroughly discredited IN
the eyes of the Greek people. 1t consists
of no less than ten parties, each animated
by factional aims which can be neither
combined in nor subordinated to the
national interest. The result Is that every
phase of Greek national life is shot
through with partisan politics. This is
the basic reason why the army cannot get
the best of the guerrillas, why the guerrillas
themselves continue to proliferate, and
why nothing effective is done to reform
crying economic ills.
Mindful OF this parliamentary break
down, King Paul is exercising his consti-
tutional prerogative by demanding q
united government of national salvation" !"
He bids the leaders OF all parties to get
together In a common front pledged to
support an essentially nonpartisan cabinet
committed to drastic measures Of stabili-
zation. In default of voluntary acceptance
by those leaders, he intimates the setting
up of an extraparliamentary government
directed by some personality above
partisan politics, though the aged and Ill
Themistocles Sophoulis, who resigned only
last week, may return as Pemier in a
dgurehead capacity. The aim of such a
government, endowed with extraordinary
powers, would be to prosecute the civil war,
tackle the economic mess and solidify the
home front without being subject to
parliamentary interference.
The most likely candidate for the
leadership of such a government is
Marshal Alexander Papagos. His mill
tary reputation rests upon his brilliant
campaign against the abortive italian
invasion of Greece in 1s41, and his prestige
has gained by his refusal to play politics In
recent years. Only recently, he turned
down an invitation to become commander
in chief of the army because he was not
given free hand in the post. He certainly
enjoys the Kings full confidence, holding
the position of Paul's military adviser.
Such a regime would, of course, be open
to the charge that it constitutes virtual
dictatorship, even though benevolent
one. Yet it is difficult to envisage a
constructive alternative, at least in the
immediate future. Nothing constructive
can come out of the present Parliament.
And the holding of elections for new
Parliament would seem to be impracticable.
Much of the country is so disturbed by the
civil war that fair elections could not be
held there, while public opinion is so
generally infamed that elections might
reflect popular passions rather than
rational civic judgment. The condition
of Greece Is so abnormal that a drastic
remedy may have to be applied.

essential. It will be essential not merely
because the French UNDERSTANDABLE think
it vital to their own security, but also
because the Ruhr cannot safely be left to
Its own devices as long as there is reason
to fear the possibility of new militaristic
Germany going Red and aligning itself
with Soviet Russia. That prospect may
seem rather remote at the moment, but it
ought not to be discounted altogether.

A. In recent years refunds have amounted
to more than $4,000 900 900 annually. Refunds
are made chiefly on account of the overpay-

Power Usurpine Power

TO the Editor Of The Star:
In q recent editorial dealing with the Dutch
East India troubles, you inter ALA. say: But
this last pont-the claim that the 1ndonesa
warfare is outside the jurisdiction Of the U. N.
is hardly defensible."
Having noted for q good many years the
gradual invasion of the States by the Federal
Government and the approval OF the Supreme
Court the fears of many people of our coun-
try that eventually this polyglot international
government would do the same in connection
with our local affairs are fully justi1ed. 1t
might not do 80 at first, but when it gets set
tied and in its stride, as our Federal Govern
n1ent has there is little reason to think that 1t
will not follow our own Government in thrust
ing itself into our local affairs As we learn
from Hamlet it is big question, many times,
whether it is not better to put up with the
Ills we have than fee to those unknown.
We may not always be in the saddle, as we
now think we are, and when that time comes
We will be dealt with according to our i'm
potency. AS long as the Soviets can make use
OF us they will do 50, and then, like the pro-
verbal dog, bite the hand that fed them.
There are no altruistic friendships in inter-
national affairs despite all the drivel to the
contrary. Every day is new day with nations,
and this history abundantly confirms As
long as it does not cost nations anything OF
substantial interest, they will act brotherly,
but when there is clash of vital interests
the swords will rattle. Any nation that acts
on any other principle will not long have
place in the SUM-
That wartime friendships count for nothing,
when fundamental interests conflict, is trag-
cally exemplif1ed at the present time in Eu
rope in the ludicrous spectacle of our flying
food and coal into Berlin. This fact will in
evitably reflect itself in the action of the U. N.
and in the World Court, and anybody who
does not think it will is utterly devoid Of
knowledge Of world history.
Power usurping power is the history Of all
mankind particularly when an overall view
Of 1t Is taken: hence, we should be very care
full to delimit all jurisdictions II we do not
want to rue our acts OF the present.
