Let's Be Sensible

One of the current peculiarities of the West
ern world is that large numbers of people in it
seem to be appealing, excitably, for some kind of
high-level mission to Moscow. The idea, appar-
entity is to send super-special envoy to knock on
Stalin's door and beg him to be reasonable and
cooperative before the hydrogen bomb vaporizes
all of us, including him. To put it mildly, this is
silly notion made to look doubly silly in light of
the fact that he has been asked to play ball ever
since the end of the war and has done nothing
but scorn the invitation and sabotage the game
Just how often are the democracies supposed
to go to him hat in hand? They have done
about all the begging possible without losing their
self-respect and earning his contempt. Why do
people kid themselves that new pleas from US
are what is needed? Stain is the lone holdout,
and nothing will bulge him except decision by
himself and his Politburo. Certainly, if that
decision is ever made, it will not be because of
frightened supplications from the West-some-
thing that i'll becomes free men. We ought to be
sensible about this. 1t is RuSsia's turn-and has
been for long time-to make the cooperative
gestures

Size of the Police Force

Statistics showing ratio of police to population
are interesting, but the ratio usually applied
to Washington is not accurate index of the
degree of police protection afforded the Nations
Capital. It is true that the ratio of Metropolitan
policemen to Washington's population-216 for
every thousand residents-is less than the ma
tional average for large cities. Overlooked, how
ever, is the fact that other cities do not have
the various additional police agencies which
supplement the Metropolitan Police Department.
The ratio would compare favorably with most
other cities if the figures police strength here
included the 1876 men of the Park Police, who are
responsible for maintaining order in all the local
park areas; the Capitol Police guarding Congress
and its property; the Federal building guards and
the White House protective force. If these indie
pendent police forces were merged, as has been
suggested from time to time, the comparison of
police ratios here with those in other cities
would be more realistic.
Much more effective as an argument for
larger Metropolitan police establishment was
the testimony presented to the Davis crime
investigating committee regarding special de-
tails" and other extra burdens imposed on local
police. Especially impressive was the chart illus

decision to resign from the Complaints and
Appeals Committee of the Board of Education
In fact, this constructive step on Mr.. Lees part
should be encouraged by applause. For if he
has persuaded himself to resign from one COM
mittee, it may be possible that he will persuade
himself to resign from others. And if this
laudable progression in the right direction is
continued to its logical and desirable conclusion
he may eventually resign himself clear off the
Board of Education. So let us give three rousng
cheers for Mr.. Lees initial step-and wish him
many more happy designations!

Rafael Sobotini

Rafael Sabatini was an artist whose whole
life went into reliving the careers of characters
who had no other existence than that which
he gave to them by the exercise of his pen.
During close to half century he reasserted the
romantic past for modern lovers of romance
His Captain Blood" and "Scaramouche" were
acts of defiance thrown out against the reasms
OF his own time. He chose the eras to which he
preferred to belong and then gave those eras
literary expression in books which ordinary
people read with qualification if only because
they provided them with ways and means of
escape. Scott and Dumas furnished him with
models, but he was not enslaved to their ex-
amples. Rather the contrary, indeed. His style
his manner of writing, his skill in organizing his
material-these were qualities which he owed to
no earlier master
Of course, Mr. Sabatin was first of all a
close student of history He did not attempt to
imagine facts. What he did was to take recorded
circumstances and dramatize them in terms of
adventures which men and women of our own
sort conceivably might have had if we had existed
in such backgrounds. Even the most vigorous
of his performances was plausible He never
trif1ed with the intelligence of an average reader
The pictures he brought together did not burst
their frames, "BardelyS the Magnificent" was an
incredible tale, yet it convincing in it's over
all impression-it could have happened. "The
Sea Hawk" similarly was monumental proec-
ton, yet nobody could deny that it faithfully
reflected epoch of maritime expansion and
conflict which really was aggressively colorful
Mr.. Sabatini kept his genius to the end
When he on the of his seventy fifth
birthday he still was turning out salable script.
The most recent of his books manifested the
same dynamic, the same authentic power as his
successes of twenty-five thirty years ago.

The Biggest Consumers Obligation

The Commissioners are right in advising
Congress that the urgent water plant expansion
program cannot be financed on a pay aS-you-go
basis. They might we'll have added that it
would pe grossly unfair to expect District
citizens to assume all of this heavy burden, any,
way. The Federal Government, as the largest
single consumer of water in Washington has
a major interest in the system-and should
shoulder some Of the responsibility for the ex-
pense of capital improvements.
The Federal Government is consuming ap-
proXimately 10 billion gallons of water year.
Until 1947 it paid nothing whatever for the water
1t used. Since then it has earmarked million
dollars each year for water use. This does not
pay all the BILL however. The unpaid portion
for 194S was $4,000 and for last year 5000 O0O
The original Federal expenditures on the water
system have been written off by depreciation
Direct Federal contributions total less than $40
millions yet the overall cost of the system totals
s53,525,o0O. The difference has been paid out of
water rents (s32,389,OO0, and general District
appropriations ($11 1855 ,OO0).
The Federal Government has recognized it's
obligations toward the system in the past. It
should continue to recognize them, now that
major improvements are necessary to insure
safe and adequate water supply in the future
1t is estimated that up to SAT 100000 will be
needed in the next few years to protect Wash
ington against a water shortage due to plant
breakdoWnS or inadequate collection and dstri-
button facilities About half of this cost can
be financed out of water revenues. For the
remainder the Commissioners hope to obtain a
Federal loan. Such a oan-interest-free-
should be authorized without delay but not in
the full amount sought by the Commissioners
The remainder, in whatever sum Congress
determines is equitable, should be met with an
outright grant of Federal funds. In no other
way can the United States Government properly
fulfill it's obligation as partner in the District
water system.

New Red Threat in France

mounting wave of STRIKES riots and sabotage
by the Communicated section of French labor
ndlcateS another period of militant action by
the French Communist Party. These disturbances
are avowedly to prevent the landing of war
materials sent to France from America under the
terms of the North Atlantic Treaty and the
loading of military supplies for the French forces
in 1ndo-China. Already grave disturbances have
occurred in various French ports troops having
to handle ships Stunned by striking dock work
: ers. These Red maneuvers are now intensified
by short demonstration strikes called in those
public services and industries where the unions
are dominated. The aim is obviously
to upset French economy, depress public morale
and even sow doubts in American minds as to
the value of arms aid extended to France.
The authorities are fully alive to this challenge
and are taking vigorous measures, with apparent
success, to meet it. Since the great Red strikes
of two years ago the laws against political walk
outs, riotng and sabotage have been strength
ened, while the police and gendarmerie have been
purged of Red elements and can be dependd
upon.
Still the trouble-making capacity of the Com
munists should not be underestmated They
remain the largest single political party and
voting bloc in the National Assembly Despite
the secession of many workers to non Communist
organizations the General Confederation of
Labor continues under Red control Lastly
Communist leadership has immense funds at its
disposal. The fact that the present Bidault
cabinet is parliamentary anomaly not having
majority in the Assembly, and thus subject to
an adverse vote at any time constitutes another
element of weakness in a critical situation
How far the Communists intend to press their
challenge remains to be SEEN Undoubtedly thev
are acting under instructions from Moscow, and
similar campaign has been started in Italy
though with less prospect of success, since Italy
has stronger government and the Communists
have lost more ground there than in France.

tanned long illustrated article by Frank
G. Carpenter, describing
interview his meeting with Marquis
With Ito Ito, confidential adviser to
the Emperor of Japan and
the statesmen who, more than all
others. directs the game of politics in the
Far East" One of the first questions
asked by the interviewer had to do with
relations with Russia. The marquis an
swered: 1.-THE relations of the Russian
and Japanese governments are friendly.
There is some feeling among the
japanese against the Russians, but this
comes chiefly from the ignorant people.
The better classes are for peace" His
excellency, referring to American inter-
vention in Pacific waters, declared: "We
are indeed glad to welcome the United
States as one of the permanent residents
Of our part of the world. Japan
has the friendliest feeling toward her
good and great friend, the United States.
We are therefore especially glad
that you have become one of the coun-
tries of the Western Pacific and we sin
cerely hope that you may find here
profitable field of commerce and invest
nent."
