than they did during and before
the war, their housing and their
health have steadily improved, but
they've been under a constant
strain-the strain of living up to
their own best qualities. Much has
been said of government paternal-
ism, of the government doing
everything for the people. but So
cialism as the British have ex-
perienced it has not been like that.
Almost Tough as War.
Socialism has required the peo-
pie to conform good-naturedly to
all kinds of restrictions and re-
straints, for their own and the
country's good. It has required
them in a very real sense to be
part of the government and
to understand the governments
problems. not just for day. at
election time. but day after day,
month after month. 1t has been
almost as tough as war, without
wars excitement.
The normal man would much
rather turn his troubles or the
country's troubles over to some
body else.
A long time ago, when William
Howard Taft was President, I rode
up a Western mountain with the
driver of a stage coach. The driv-
er talked politics all the way, tell
ing me what Taft ought to be
doing about this and that. He
concluded his lecture with a sigh,
saying:
"Well, it wasn't like this when
Teddy was President. Then you
could just leave everything to
him"
Millions of Americans felt that
way about Teddy Roosevelt. A
generation later millions more
felt that way about another
Roosevelt. And there can be no
question that millions in Great
Britain feel that way about

Germany.
In Germany the United States
hardly has q policy. Backing q
West German government. re-
storing the West German econ
omy, and insisting on West Ger

visage a future for all Germany.
and its relations with the Soviet
Union and Eastern Europe. and
with Western Europe and the
United States.
Enormous Step Forward.
If an agreement could be
reached over Germany, an enor-
nous step forward would have
been taken In the liquidation OF
the Cold War-and therefore to-
ward an atomic peace.
I cannot persuade myself that
such an attempt is doomed If the
approach is made with clarity Of
concept, and complete good will.
For, assuming that, despite exist
ing acrimonies, both sides wish to
avoid open war; and that in the
Kremlin the possible co-existence
of two opposing social systems is
mot yet utterly abandoned; each
side must see. I think, that Ger
many, which first brought them
together, and is now pushing
them apart, might bring them
together again in an agreement
Of mutual interest.
In Germany, both the q. s. s. r.
and the Western powers are
personally playing with fire. The
Kremlin must, I think, know it.,
and be queasy about reviving Ger
man nationalism and rearming
Eastern Germany. For If anything
is likely to lead to war this policy
Is.
The Russians claim that their
policy is defensive-in response to
the creation of q West German
state. Chronologically-in action
they are correct. Ideologically
they are following, or returning
to, q policy enunciated during the
war by Stain himself, according
to which there would always be
q German state and q German
army, but the Hitlerite state and
the Hitlerite army must co." Sta

AS the ECA debate gets under
way, some Of these benef1ciaries
are shedding little of their
meekness and nudging United
States officials into an inquiring
glance at the sad case Of the new
United Nations buildings in New
York City. The cost of that prof.
ect Is budgeted at $65 million.
Import Duties Waived.
Congress, which is normally re-
luctant to grant any trade ad-
vantages, agreed last year that
since all the labor costs would &c
into American pockets, the other
contributing nations Of U. N
ought to get real chance to pro-
vide materials. So it waived all
import duties on such materials.
But two thirds of the contracts
about $42 million worth-have
been let and to date no foreign
bidder has been able to get so
much as a nail into the new
structures. By a coincidence
about two-thirds of the money for
the buildings comes from over
seas.

and Mr.. Churchill that this was
just propaganda. Perhaps 1t
partly was; perhaps the Kremlin
then had several alternatives In
mind; but Russia has returned to
it, and is training a German army
along the lines that enabled Gen.
Won Seekt, after World War I,
to build an officers corps capable
Of leading mass armies.
Dangerous for Soviet, Too.
Now. an armed Russian = German
military alliance must be abso-
lutely intolerable to the West.
But 1t is also, we should think,
very dangerous for the Soviets.
Nothing could more unite the
West. and nothing more disaffect
Russia's eastern neighbors. Ger
man Communists are anything
but reliable as Russian stooges,
and If any country could produce
a Tito to claim the right to rep

is Germany.
cannot. therefore, but think
that Russia. which knows all this
and more, must have reservations
about her own policy. For any
Slav country to rearm any part of
Germany is slightly insane.
But it must also be intolerable
for Russia to contemplate perma-
nent American military bases in
Germany, or q Western Germany
rearmed for Western purposes.
Therefore my mind always re-
turns to the notion that, in Ger
many, Eastern and Western inter-
ests are. in reality. identical. The
safety Of both lies in the neutral
Zation Of q unifled but perma-
nently disarmed Germany bound
by non-aggression pacts with each,
and protected by each against be-
coming a military base for either.
Diplomacy never succeeds ex-
cept where mutual interest is
established. Otherwise, 1t consists
OF compromises leading to new
crises, and eventually to war. It
is precisely because growing de-
velopments in Germany are dan
gerous to both East and West
that a new idea might cut the
Gordian knot.

Burning of Capital by British Told by Colonel

How economy in military ex-

meeting of the Columbia Histor-

In a paper entitled "The Militia
and Volunteers of the District of

told what happened in 1913 when

urged the same view. Although
the city continued to buzz with
weddings and assemblies, the
Federal treasury was empty and
the Committee on Military At

expenditure.
