factor which has been entirely disregarded

The Status of Tibet

One important aspect of the confused
Chinese situation is the status of Tibet.
This vast, bleak plateau country is of high
strategic significance, lying as it does just
north of India beyond the lofty rampant
of the Himalayas.
Tibet's natural isolation has been in
tensifled by the exclusive character of its
people, who have always sought to main
tain their remote independence by keeping
out foreigners of any kind. Under the old
Chinese empire they were self-governing
dependency and this status they strove
to preserve against attempts to weld them
into the unified nation-state envisaged by
the founders of the Chinese Republic.
Only last year the Tibetans deported all
officials of the Chinese Nationalist gov
ernment thus reasserting their claim to
virtual independence. The native gov
ernment is a theocracy, headed by
religious potentate known as the Dalai
Lama, esteemed as the reincarnation of
Buddha
Tibet's anomalous situation coupled with
its strategic Importance has long rendered
1t subject of international rivalry. When
Britain ruled India, Tibet was regarded
as buffer state, and the British sought
both to support its autonomy and to keep
out agents of Czarist or Soviet Russia. The
new government of India takes a similar
attitude and is cultivating friendly rela-
tions with the Dalai Lama.
radically new aspect in the situation
arises from the increasing dominance of
a Communist regime in China closely
associated with the Soviet Union. The
Chinese Communists have taken over the
attitude and policy of the Nationalists and
indicate their intention of enforcing con-
troll over Tibet as part of unified China.
The Tibetans reject this claim as fercely
as they have done in the past, and are
believed to have approached the Western
Powers on the subject of military and
financial assistance in opposing Com
munist aggression. While these approaches
are as yet tentative the matter is being
seriously considered by Western foreign
Offices, notably by our State Department.
One possibility is the recognition of Tibet
as free and independent country. This
would make it possible for the United
States to make available for Tibet some
of the funds allotted to help friendly
countries arm themselves against COM
munism It may be recalled in this
connection that the military assistance
program recently approved by Congress
provides $75,0O0,0O0 for use in the Chinese
area if the President decides there is need
for it.
OF course, such recognition of Tibet's
independence would be at variance with
out past policy which has regarded Tibet
as part of China. But the impending
Transformation of China into Communist
Peoples Republic" closely affiliated with
the Soviet Union renders necessary a basic
revaluation of our Chinese policy wherein
precedent may be disregarded. Certainly,
the extension of Communist power over
Tibet would be grave eventuality for the

Time to Adjust the Brakes

Budget Officer Fowler is eminently right
In his assertion that if further increases
in local taxation-on top of those imposed
In the past two years-are to be avoided,
"now is the time to think about adjusting
the brakes"
He mentions the increase in District
pay rolls-in terms of personnel and
money-since 1889. The 1882 Jobs of
1889 have grown to 1880 in 1949. The
s27,Ooo,Ooo pay roll of 1889 has jumped to
something In excess of $60,000000 in 1949.
When he talks about adjusting the
brakes, he evidently has in mind two
things:
One is that the department heads
already have asked for an increase of
1859 employees for the next fiscal year
to be added to the more than $4,000 now
on the pay roll.
The other is that we have had merely
the first session of the 81st Congress, and
In that first session legislation was ap-
proved which added $S192,000 to the
annual cost of running the District Gov
ernment and $311 ,442 for the current fiscal
year, which may or may not be renewed
for the next fiscal year.
If what has happened in the first ses-
sion of the 81st is repeated in any
thing like the same dose for the next
session, which begins in January, the
fixed annual costs of running the District
Government will leave little for such post
poned needs as the school-building pro-
gram and will find the Commissioners
stirring around to devise new means of
raising more cash. We now have prac-
tically every type of tax levied anywhere
else in the country, some of them at
higher rates than are paid in many other
communities.
There ought to be moratorium at the
District Building for the next several years
on any proposals to increase current taxes.
The imposition of the sales tax has ex-
hausted the last unused device in raising
revenue. The next blow would fall on
property taxes, already high, and that
blow should be withheld.

Doctors and Civil Defense

Unpleasant as it is to think about the
horrors of germ and atomic warfare it is
reaSsuring to learn that the medical pro-
fesslon Is taking steps to prepare itself to
respond If some grim emergency of the
future should require medical mobilization.
The District Medical Society, like many
similar organizations, is giving serious
thought to how it could be of service to
the community in such a crisis.
AS yet there is no approved national
program to guide local medical groups in
their preparations. The District Medical
Society appointed special committee after
the war to study the role of civilian
doctors in an atomic or other future
disaster but it has received little encour-
agement from Federal and District Gov
ernment authorities This is because Gov
ernment officials as yet have adopted no
national civil defense plan. The program
recommended year ago by an advisory
group headed by Russell J. Hopley is still
very tentative one. That group, ap-
pointed by the late Secretary Forrestal,
outlined plan which placed responsibility
for civil defense on local authorities, who
were to look to the Federal Government
for advice and guidance. The report made
special mention of the need for planning
by medical organizations to meet problems
of blast wounds, radiation. and biological
warfare hazards
The District Medical Society is moving
with proper calmness to assume its part
of the civil defense obligations. The
Hopley report warned against hysteria-
creating measures designed to prepare for
a possible emergency. The society is con-
Quoting survey to find what other med
1cal organizations are doing to prepare
themselves for what might happen on
some for atom Day. It hopes to keep
It's members as fully informed as possible
on latest developments in radiation and
germ warfare research. In this wav the
society will be in a position to respond
when called upon by proper governmental
authorities to advise or assist in civil
defense planning.
Meanwhile, there is an increasing de-
mand by State and other local agencies
Tor definite information from Washington
as to what they are expected to do in the
neld OF civil defense. This whole question
Is scheduled to be studied by the Joint
Atomic Energy Committee at the next
session OF Congress. 1t is a matter that
requires early consideration in an atmos
phere devoid OF emotion and dramatics.

Cost of Sending Outside Children
To District Schools Objected To

To the Editor of The Star:
I have just finished reading the article in
The Star entitled "GeorgetoWn Area
(SchooD Structures Operating Below Ca
pacity."
The reasons given by your writer Tor the
low population" in the schools misses 1
believe, the most important and responsible
one-partcularly with respect to Goroon
and Western, which are reported as operat-
ing at only about one-half capacity. That is,
the exorbitant tuition now required from
those out-of town Government employees
who started their children in District schools
and now are forced to subject them to the
dislocation of moving to the lower standard
Virginia schools, since Congress has denied
these incumbent students the right to COM
plete their schooling under the same terms
as those under which they started.
The tuition seems entirely disproportlonate
to any taxes which District residents might
be paying toward running the schools. We
nearby residents also contribute to D. c.
revenues, since we support District mer-
chants by quite measurable purchases. And
D. C. appropriations by Congress are from
Federal taxes we help to pay.
While costly school plant at the Virginia
end of town is only partly used, the previ-
ously overcroWded condition of the schools
in nearby Virginia has been made much
more acute. This demonstrates that the ac-
ton of Congress has back fired two ways.

Calls For RededicatiOn
OF Ourselves To Peace
TO the Editor Of The Star:

TO the Editor of The Star:
With current press releases about the
atom bomb and much talk from churchmen
and others about peace, it would seem that
there is being instilled more hate and fear
in the hearts of men.
But if we could only stop to realize that
the futility of human struggle for power
accomplishes naught. as is evident in the
world today.
History has proved there Is no security in
human concepts. 1t would be natural in
this seeming unrest that people seek an es-
cape in religion as safeguard, but there,
too each goes his separate way in disunity,
so cannot minister to or give assurance of
peace. The real reason of how has been
forgotten.
In this hour of need we can turn to the
study of the science of God and His govern
ment, to that great impersonal power of
love for all mankind. Where there is faith
there is no fear, and where there is love
there is liberty. We need no Intermediates,
for greater Is He in you than all exterior
forces, including the atom bomb.
This simple formula rightly applied can
change conditions in the hearts of men.
Does this sound too simple to follow? Or
must we look for something complicated and
expensive?

something for nothing attitude, shifting re-
sponsibilities. coercion, grabbing, only for
the moment with no regard for the true

Though many have been weakened by sub
division and undermined by insincerity, we

Art From Austria

The art treasures brought from London
to the National Gallery in Washington for
exhibition beginning November 20 are
rarities of great value accumulated by the
Hapsburg princes during several centuries
and now the possessions of the Austrian
Republic. They complement the Kaiser
Friedrich pictures shown here last year.
The artists represented include Correggio,
Giorgione, Tintoretto, Titan, Velasquez,
Rembrandt, Rubens, Vermeer, De Hooch,
Ter Boch, Steen and Ruisdael. Each of
these painters was an authentic genius.
To view their works, singly or as collec-
tion, is to add to ones experience with
human capacity to solve important esthetic
problems.
Every composition definitely symbolizes
a victory over circumstance. If art came
into being without effort, it hardly could
be regarded as art. Elizabeth Barrett
Browning, in the fourth book of Aurora
Leigh" asked-and nobly answered-the
inevitable question of an intelligent, sensi-
tive spectator:
What is art
But life upon the larger scale, the higher,
When, graduating up in a spiral line
Of still expanding and ascending gyres
1t pushes toward the intense significance
Of all things, hungry for the Infinite?
Arts life-and where we live we suffer
and toll.
The loan of the Vienna treasures sal
vaged from World War II, is a gesture of
mutuality from the people of Austria to
the people of America. Both communities
have lived and suffered during these bitter,
chaotic years of the first half of the twen-
tieth century; both have toiled, both are
toiling. The hope which inspires both
nations is that of worthy achievement in

Navy Purge Talk

Defense Secretary Johnson has refused to
elaborate on his statement that he dis
cussed with the President the recent
testimony before the House Armed Services
Committee land the lessons to be learned
from it," The principal lessons, however,
are rather obvious.
During the past few days there has been
considerable foolish talk of purge in the
Navy high command - something that
would find little support in wisdom or in
the facts of the case.
The responsible spokesmen for the Navy
have not been attacking unificatlon as
such. Admiral Denfeld, for instance, testi
fled that the Navy indorses unifcation-
the law, the concept and the spirit. And
he denied that it is the desire of the Navy
to destroy uniflcation.
What the Navy wants is opportunity for
adequate presentation of it's point of view
within the framework of what it calls
true" unif1cation. In other words, it
wants to be an equal member of the ma
tional defense team, not sort of Stepchild
to be pushed around at will by the other
services.
This is an entirely proper position for
Admiral Denfeld and those who think like
him to take. 1t would not be proper, of
course, for any Navy officer who is not in
sympathy with unification to attempt to
sabotage the project. That is something
that should not be tolerated. But when
an officer like Admiral Denfeld insists that
the Navy is entitled to be heard and is
further entitled to equality of treatment
in the defense establishment, he is acting
in the best interests, not only of the Navy,
but of the national defense. 1t is difficult
to believe that Secretary Johnson, although
he has given the Navy the once-over-
lightly treatment in the past, will make
the mistake now of needing the suggestions
for purge of men like Admiral Denfeld
and their replacement with men who will
not speak out for what they believe to be
right There could be no surer way of
wrecking the morale and combat efficiency
of the Navy.
