German Film Empire

The Allied High Commission for Germany
has decided to sell the UFA motion picture
empire. Properties which once were appraised
at 5000 million are to be knocked down" to the
highest bidders. Three huge studios and 40
theaters are to be offered. Several hundred
prewar films also are to be disposed Of The
purpose of the commission is to destroy the
erstwhile Nazi cinema monopoly and to revive
"a free and competitive movie industry" in the
British, French and American zones of Germany.
Out of the wreck of the old UFA estab-
ishment, then, may develop a new photoplay
enterprise a whole series of enterprises of
significance and value The German producers
of the days before Hitler set an example of
artistry which even now must be inspiring. Ernst
Lubitsch and Emil Jannings were but two of the
geniuses who universal celebrity for the
perfection of their work. They made Passion"
deception" Variety" "The Last Laugh" peter
the Great" Madame Du Barry" and many other
pictures which still are worth seeing Perhaps
some of these could be brought up to date In
any case they might be used as models for
further effort
Meanwhile, there undeniably is poetic Justice
in the destruction of the UFA trust The Nazis
found 1t ready to their hands, an instrument of
propaganda which they mismanaged character
istically. Now the story is finished.

Faith of Our Fathers Opening

The prevew of Paul Green's Faith of Our
Fathers" in the new amphitheater in Rock Creek
Park last night was more of promise than a
f1rst-class performance but it was a very good
promise and the Sesquicentennial pageant shortly
should be all that anybody could ask in terms of
inspiring history, stage art and entertainment
OF course, there will be people who will not
accept Mr. Green's version of George Washington.
The script he has turned out is a romantic inter-
probation of the first President and of the time
to which he belonged. But the meaning of Wash
ington to the America of today is an authentic
value of the work, and it deserves to be empha-
sized in relation to the prevailing world crisis
Much of the dialogue was lost last evening
Some of the music also was confusing The
amplifying system was inadequate, and the
audience was restless and noisy, perhaps because
it was cold But the net impression of the whole
enterprise was constructive. The amphitheater
is beautiful, the pageantry splendid the motiva-
ton of the production sincerely devoted Faith
of Our Fathers is proof of an active, energetic
patriotism in our own era. The preview audience
will not forget the occasion.

How the Korean Reds Learned to Fight
To the Editor Of The Star:

T GATHER from my reading of the
Il newspapers that some Of the more
"well-informed" writer's, so-called "spe-
cialists" in Far Eastern affairs are great
ly surprised by current evidence of the
fighting capabilities of the North Korean
army. The idea seems to be that some
sort of miracle has been achieved in
the transformation into effective fight
ing men of bunch Of ignorant natives
who, until recently, didn't know how to
shoot rifle"
There is, in fact, nothing surprising
about North Korean military perform
ance.
lived in China 33 years, before COM
ing to this country, and with my knowl-
edge of the Russian and Chinese Ian
guages it was natural that I came to
know many things which were closed
book to the ordinary American, even to
the specialist.
First of all, it was to be expected that
the Northern Koreans, when they crossed
the 38th parallel. would not meet any
rea. opposition on the part of the South
Koreans The opinions expressed by our
well informed" friends are in fact ad-
mirabily applicable to the South Koreans
and the ordinary folk of North Korea.
But one must not forget one thing: The
real fighting on the North Korean side
is done, not by the peasants, but by
highly-trained and disciplined Korean
Soviet soldiers, who have trained long
anu eXpertly in the handling of tanks,
artillery, machinegunS and tommyguns.
Not many people in this country seem
to realize that soon after 1910, when
Japan formally annexed Korea, thou
sands of Koreans chose to escape into
Russian territory rather than to submit
to the hated Japanese oppressors. The
Russian authorities, in those prerevolu-
tionary days, welcomed the Korean
farmers, and one could see village after
village of white-robed Koreans in the
Russian maritime province, from Vladi-
vostok to the Manchurian border and
to Khabarovsk.
BY the time of the Russian revolution
of 1917. there were tens of thousands of
Koreans diligently tilling the fields in
that fertile and prosperous province,
thankful to the Russians for the refuge
offered them, and for the chance to lead
normal peaceful lives.
Came the Bolsheviks. They quickly
grasped this excellent card, which had
been dealt into their hand. They gave
tho Koreans every possible opportunity
to live regular life, no different from
that Of all the other citizens of the

in our consideration of the great world.
Beyond that great world is the great
universe, and beyond that universe Is
God.
1t is the little world of the mind that
one understands best. though at times
this, too, seems very far off. What we
mean is that every one can do something
about understanding his own mind. If
your own mind works better and easier
as the result of good reading, do not
give up good reading because someone
else says it does no good; that the war
goes to the heaviest battalions; that
"gentlemen's warfare" no longer exists.

has its own place, and there, If ever,

help you, then repeat them as much
as you want, although silently, maybe.
That is one of the wonders Of words,
that they are the same, in a sense,
whether written, or spoken or just
thought. These are the three great
tracks words take in this world, and it
is difficult to tell which makes the most
impression. One doesn't know it all,
but one knows what one knows, or at
least likes to think he does, and in this
good knowing nothing helps the mind
and spirit of man as much as the good
words of the past, tying up to the
present and taking us safely into the
future, under the guidance and protec-
ton of the Ultimate Wisdom.

This and That

'T knows it ALL" the man seemed to
be saying to the druggist.
Since he was a rather conceited look
ing fellow, the observer had right to
think he was so saying.
Actually, he was asking for one of the
newer vitamins, inositol.
Now we have tablets to keep perspira-
ton odor at a minimum, taken internal
ly, and said not to be harmful.
When will chemical wonders cease?
This is the sort of chemical expert
mentation at which mankind is best.
His more horrible efforts, actual and
postulated, will never cease to make man
wonder at himself.
How, in the face of all the beauty in
the world, he can turn his attention to
destruction and terror, is our problem.
1t would seem impossible that intelli-
gent being, such as man thinks himself
to be, would be willing to make war.
Yet he is. The mystery resolves,
somehow, to the fact that he is
basically an animal, and at times the
animal nature comes to the surface.

different from tigers warning in the

Soviet Union. Not only that, but they
also organized among them secret soci-
eties to lead propaganda in Japanese
Koreans to cross the border and to settle
in Russia. The Japanese themselves
helped out by continuing to mistreat
the Koreans.
1t was an open secret, for all of us
who lived in the Orient that the SovieIs
trained the Koreans in their regular
Soviet army for good 80 years. All
the Koreans living in Russia were con-
sidered to be the Soviet citizens, and
were subject to regular military service,
as any other Soviet citizen. Capable and
Communist-indoctrin young Ko-
reans very often were sent to the military
schools, became officers, and were put
in command of Russian troops.
Many Russians grumbled about it:
some did not like to be bossed around
by the "Asiatics," or the "Yarboo" as
they were called. But the authorities,
by stern measures-and we all know
what that means in the U. S. S. r.
pacified the complainers.

nous contingents Of Korean soldiers,
the majority of whom-after the reg

Unfair to Stockholders

The Presidents letter of July Is to
the chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee on tax increases suggests that
we distribute the tax burden fairly
among the different groups of our peo-
Pile" At the same time, as an interim
measure with an indication of more to
come, the President recommends an in
crease of corporation taxes.
The stockholders of American corpo-
rations will be burdened with additional
personal income taxes, as all other tax
payers, and that is fair. But unlike other
taxpayers they will also be punished as
q group for investing their savings in
corporate securitieS-by a reduction of
their taxable income And that is unfair.
The increase of corporate taxation will
reduce the value and the income of the
investments of all stockholders.
Tax increases on corporations are dis
criminatory against the invested savings
of millions of Americans. They put
p, emium on those who do not partici-
pate in the creation of jobs through in
vestment. Behind the proposed addi-
tional burden on corporations stands the
alien philosophy that corporations are
monsters, and that big business is diff
ferent from the people who own it. In
reality what one so unthinkingly calls
big business is nothing but the sum of
small business of millions of investors
and life insurance owners, who know no
better but to do business by creating jobs
in pooling their funds in corporations.
An equitable distribution of the neces-
sary tax burden cannot consist in penal
izing those who put their money to work
in the productive machinery of our econ
omy. There is no fairness where those
who do not invest are being favored.
This system must lead to flight of our
available funds from the corporations
into less productive forms of saving.

LocoI Milk Is Best
Herman Morton.

The recent discussions regarding the
importation of milk from outside areas
into Washington have received a great
deal of publicity. Apparently there is
no question on either side that there
is ample milk in the local area to supply
this district.
Milk produced locally would have a
low bacteria count when brought into the
processing plant for pasteurization. 1t
has been our custom to drink fresh milk
rather than that which has been car
ried halfway across the country. Con-
troll of the local milk should be in the
hands of the District Health Inspector.
The argument of sterilization by
chemicals versus steam has been fire.

SION uses steam sterilization almost en-
ti!ely in its operating rooms, as it is

sterilization. Why should we not main
tain the same standards of cleanliness

No Military Solution in Koreu

The military implications of our inter-
vention in Korea are more far reaching
than was at first apparent. 1t is now evil
dent that to bring the war to a conclusion
it will be necessary for American ground
forces to advance beyond the 38th paral-
lei into North Korea. There, stationed on
an unfriendly population, confronted by
Chinese Communist and Russian power
to the West and North, American forces
will find themselves in an uncomfort-
able and dangerous situation. The pres
ence of American troops in North Korea
will be military drain and a liability
will weaken rather than strengthen
our defenses, will bring American and
Russian armies into explosive proximity,
prompt Russian counter mobilization
and increase international tension.
The lack of devotion shown for the
South Korean government has raised
the question whether any government
we are likely to sponsor will attract the
support of the Koreans. The North
Korean advance has added to the OBJ
stacles. The reforms that won it popular
support in the North have now been
initiated in the South. A situation has
been created where, to many Koreans,
the advance of American arms will repre-
sent abolition of land reforms, renewed
partition of the country and domination
by foreigners. The advance from our
diminished beachhead will involve bomb
ing and artillery on a scale that will
devastate cities and public utilities of
South as we'll as North Korea. What
effect will such mass destruction of life
and property have on American popu-
larity in Korea and the East?
There is grave danger, even though
we achieve complete military success.
that we may find our position in the East
weakened and Russia's strengthened as
a result of the Korean war. Russia ex-
tends her influence in the Orient through
promoting abolition of it's predominantly
feudalistic economic and social structure
and by championing Asiatic nationalism
as against Western imperialism. Will
our policy inadvertently furnish more
fuel for her drive? Will American in
tervention in Korea aid Russia's pro-
gram by creating conditions which will
tighten the Chinese-RuSsian alliance,
align progressive and nationalistic Asia
tics with Russia against us and remove
the possibility of an Asiatic Titoism?
We have stumbled into a difficult
situation from which mere military
measures cannot extricate us. The
situation is one which demands. not the
talents and attitude of the militarist,
but those of the statesmen. 1t will require
the application of intelligent moderation,
and diplomacy of a high order, to bring
the Korean Intervention to a conclusion

Realistic Milk Scoring Needed

In their recent decision on the matter Of
sterilizng milking equipment on dairy farms,
the Commissioners seem to have ducked the
issue and passed a political hot potato on to
Health Officer Daniel Seckinger.
The Commissioners approved" the use Of
chemicals for the sterilizing process. But at
the same time, they ordered that dairymen
using steam sterilization should be favored with
higher scores on their Health Department in
spections. They left it up to DR.. Seckinger to
determine what that scoring diferential should
be.
In effect, the Commissioners did little to
change the present system under which the
use of chemicals is barred by a differential
scoring system. Under the old regulations steam
users received IS points while chemical users re-
ceived no points It was always theoretically
possible for a farm using chemical sterilization
to be licensed to ship milk to the District since
score of 70 was considered passing. However,
the milk producers also paid for their product
on the basis of their Health Department score.
The automatic 15-pont cut received by chemical
user brought him lower prices for his milk and
discouraged him from competing in the Wash
lngton market.
There is nothing in the Commissioners
order which indicates to DR.. Seckinger how
great the differential between steam and chem
leave it near its present Is points, the Comnlis
sioners' approval of chemicals will be meaning
less. The implication of the order is that the
Commissioners still consider steam sterilization
better than chemical sterilization in spite of
the opinion of Health Department experts that
either process is satisfactory.
There is reason to suppose that DR.. Seek
niger, thinking he does, will make the differen
tial between steam and chemicals as small as
possible. 1t would, however, have been more
reasonable if the two processes had been placed
on an even basis
There is much simpler and more direct
method of insuring the continued high quality
of milk in Washington than the one selected
by the Commissioners. 1t would be to make the
actual bacteria count of the milk itself deter
mining factor on the score cards. Under the
present method, the bacteria count-the standard
measure of milk purity-is not rated at all.
Health authorities believe it could be done practi
cay and would insure the of the best
sanitation methods all along the line
After all, District officials are concerned
primarily with the quality of the product sold
in Washington rather than with debating the
methods that dairy farmers must follow.
