Senator Toft's Questions

1t would be mistake, in The Stars opinion.
to take for granted that the questions which
Senator Taft has raised concerning some aspects
OF our foreign policy necessarily herald rebirth
OF tsolationism on the Republican side of the
Senate
The Ohio Senator whose influence in the
Senate will be greatly increased by virtue of his
impressive election-day victory, says he will
insist that the new Congress give careful con-
sideration" to such questions as these: Is Europe
defensible at all? How large an Army do we need
at home? Are we depending too much on the
North Atlantic Pact and European military aid?
VIII the American people stand for three
mllllon-man Army and the universal military
program needed to sustain it? How do we pay
for all this?
These are substantial questions and they
deserve the careful consideration for which the
Senator calls. We have been proceeding on the
assumption, or the hope, that Europe can be
defended, given time for building defenses But
the validity of that assumption certainly is open
to doubt. It is our belief that the threat of
atomic retaliation by the United States will serve
at least for while, to discourage Russian at
tack on Western Europe. Meanwhile, during
that period in which our atomic superiority will
be great, we plan huge investment in the re-
arming of the Europeans. But this can hardly
be wise investment unless there is in Western
Europe at least comparable determination to
rearm with all possible haste and to fight If the
showdown comes. At the moment there is little
evidence of that kind of determination. If the
Europeans will not make real sacrifices for the
sake of rearmament and If they are not fully
resolved to fight If attacked, then 1t may not be
possible to defend Western Europe at all and
we should not be making large investment in
that project. Certainly, the Senator has raised
a serious question. 1t deserves candid and seri-
Gus consideration.
There are other serious questions on his list.
There is, perhaps, some doubt that the American
people will stand for a large Army over long
period of time. They may not be willing to pay
the necessary taxes and put up with the required
curtailment of their living standards
But there is another side to this matter, and
we should never allow ourselves to forget it.
Assume for the moment that Europe cannot be
defended, that the American people will not
stand for big Army, for universal military
training, etc. Where do we go from there? Even
If the fact could be established 1t would not be
enough to say that the implications of Senator
Taft's questions are correct, and to stop at that
point We have to ask ourselves how, in those
circumstances, will we defend the United States.
If we are not to have dependable allies and If
the American people will not endure the sacri-
fees which a big military establishment will
demand, where do we look for our own security?
Senator Taft should add this question to his list,
for it, too, requires very careful consideration.

Worried India

The seriousness with which India views Red
China's invasion of Tibet-an event that has been
accompanied by obscure but disquieting political
trouble in the adjacent Kingdom Of Nepal-has
been emphasized by the somber speech delivered
in New Delhi the other day by Deputy Prime
Minister Patel.
For Mr. Patel in his capacity as chief aide
to Prime Minister Nehru, has told the Indian
people to be prepared to meet any threat OF
aggression along their northern frontier. Fur
ther, in a warning addressed indirectly to the
Chinese Communists, he has declared that such
q threat-should it materialize-will be violently
resisted by India in case the aggressor cannot
be restrained by Mohandas K Gandhi's methods
of love and non-violence.
A glance at the map helps to explain why
Mr.. Patel and Mr.. Nehru are worried by the
present situation. With Tibet falling into the
hands of Red China and with next-door Nepal
vulnerable to the same sort of fate, India faces
the prospect of having aggressive Communist
forces breathing hotly down its neck along the
northern frontier, with no buffer areas standing
in their way-a geographical position that might
tempt Mao Tse-tung to expand further or exert
subversive political pressures on the Indians
Apparently this possibility has stirred up
very real fears in New Delhi the more so be-
cause of Pepings curt and almost insulting
rejection of Mr. Nehru's high minded and al
together friendly efforts to promote peaceful
settlement between Red China and the leaders
of the Tibetan theocracy-a settlement that
could have been achieved readily enough II the
Mao regime, for reasons best known to itself,
had not decided to resort to military force
against an unoffending land that has no arms
or armies worthy of the name.
In trying to excuse its action, Peiping has
said that it's purpose is to "liberate" the Tibetan
nolo o1
lists" from using the country as springboard
for aggression against Red China. Mr. Nehru,
with Mr.. Patel now echoing him in even stronger
terms has in effect branded this explanation as
a lot of poppycock without the slightest foun-
dation in fact and through his governments
notes to the Mao regime, he has made clear that
the invasion of Tibet is wholly beyond justifca-
ton and highly disturbing to India.
Mr.. Patel's speech has left no room for doubt
that the disquiet revolves chiefly around the
fear that Red China may have designs on India's
independence and territorial integrity. Only q

Mixed Schools Elsewhere

This is in reply to letter to The Star
by one AL Smith regarding the issue of
segregation in Washington schools.
Mr.. Smith decries New York and Chi
cago schools. where white children are
forced to attend mixed schools" as
places where racial tensions produce
Uncomfortable" situations have only
recently arrived here from New York,
where I spent the better part of my
young life attending various schools
most Of them interracial.
Just to keep the record straight, allow
me to say this: Most of the school dis
tricts where white and Negro neighbor-
hoods overlap are slum neighborhoods,
subject to all the tensions, Illustrations
and barbarisms that slums breed into
people. In such places, 1t is inevitable
that gang strife take place.
But the strife between Negro and
white gangs is by no means greater than
between Negro and Negro. white and
white. or between interracial and other
interracial gangs.
This strife is carried into the ele-
mentary and junior high schools In such
neighborhoodS. But in our high schools,
students are recruited on city-wide
basis for schools of their choices and
qualifications. In our high schools the
students are representative of q cross
section Of whites and Negroes. not just
of slum whites and slum Negroes. Hav-
ing been IN q number Of New York high
schools. day and evening sessions, find
it nothing less than astounding that Mr..
Smith-and many other Mr.. Smiths
picture New York City schools as places
where racial tensions and militancy are
uncomfortable.
I only wish, ana very deeply, that
thousand people from other parts of the
country could 60 to New York City and
see the high schools there-all Of them
interracial-see the students in the class
rooms in the corridors. the libraries, the
study halls. in the soda fountains at
lunchtime and after school, I should
then like to ask those thousand people

Of racial bars has made the New York

Julia MorIowe

There must be many Washingtonians who
remember Julia Marlowe in her prime. She was
an artist whom 1t was delight to honor. Her
life was dedicated to the ideal of great acting
from childhood onward, and no other woman of
her generation won a more notable triumph in
that respect than she did. She was beautiful,
she was talented in the highest degree, she was
admirable alike on and off the stage. The
artistry which she developed was of the romantic,
as distinct from the realistic classification. She
saw Shakespeare, for example, through sixteenth
century glasses. Nothing modern was allowed to
intrude upon her representation of medieval
character. She was infinitely meticulous in her
work. Even the least consequential gesture was
matter of concern to her. SO Jealous was she
for perfection that she had her voice rebuilt"
in the middle of her career
OF course Miss Marlowe is best recalled as the
wife and colleague of E. H. Sothern. She was
associated with him from 1904 onward under the
management of Charles Frohman-a Snowman
of skill and discernment The team" became
famous at its start. Their Romeo and Juliet"
was magnificent achievement. like observa-
ton applies to their "Othello" Macbeth, Antony
and Cleopatra" and Jeanne dare" Each en-
terprise was first of all an intellectual under
taking. Miss Marlowe and her husband were
profound students Of life They strove to find
the hidden elements Of beauty and truth, and
they insisted that "art is matter Of selection
of taste and discrimination.
But they were not "highbrows," using the
theater simply as school. On the contrary, they
aimed at the heart of the universal audience; and
their vast popularity-never excelled by their
rvals-proved the, efficacy, of their endeavor.
Miss Marlowe's personal contribution to the
partners success was the gift of hersef-her
loveliness, her grace, her charm, her nobility of
bearing, her peerless diction, her capacity to be
what she purposed on the boards She kept her
youthfulness long past the moment when it might
have been expected to fade and never failed to
"look' the part, no matter how juvenile its re-
quirements. Her Rosalind and her Viola were
girls as she played them, even when she herself
was beginning to grow old.
Such an artist leaves nothing tangible to
keep her name alive. All that remains of Julia
Marlowe Is an impression not easily preserved
in books or the files of newspapers. Perhaps
her Immortality will depend upon the power of
oral tradition. Those who saw and heard her
can tell about her to those who unfortunately
did not.
The questions of children come in two great
classes: The tactful or non-irritating, and the
others about things like color television and

My heart bleeds for courageous Henry

is all ready to pack his overseas bag and
kill the Russian leaders in a one-man
war to make the world safe for other
smart-alec columnists who pound their
typewriters full of war propaganda be-
cause they know their past military serv-
ice, plus over-age, will keep them home
in cushy jobs.

from Psalm 5:1-1o. Create In me
a clean heart, o God; and renew
a right spirit within me-"
In his message Rev. Massey
brought out the point that we
need to become aware Of the devil
and his work. Too many Chris
tons are asleep. The devil is con-
stantly working on us. He is tell
ing us that It is all right to put
worldly things before God, and
the sad part about II Is that he
is succeeding. We as Christians
must pray daily to God to please
keep US eager to do our share,
and to be aware Of our duty to
Him. The christians road is q
hard road to travel. but in the
end a crown Is given those who
hold out And to the sinner, God
has a message that says, come,
