recent action of the State Legisla-

have the information in support
of their charge that the self-ap-

salary equalization was being con-
sidered, went before the Commit
tee Of Education and told it's chair
man that the Negro Teachers of
the state would be satisfied with
a gradual increase in their salaries
each year. This action of the self
appointed Committee the Alexan-

overwhelming defeat of the MEA

A Dangerous Proposal

Congress had better hold fast against the
latest proposal for further cut in the $27 billion
of new funds it has already authorized for the
third year of the Marshall Plan
AS matters stand the authorization approved
by the Senate and House would grant to the
Economic Cooperation Administration for fiscal
1851 about 35 per cent less than the sum appro-
priated for the fiscal year just ended After
carefully studying the situation, however, the
Senate Appropriations Committee has recon-
mended an additional 10 per cent cut to reduce
the new funds to a total of $239 billion for
European recovery
That cutback from the authorized figure
may be justifable enough. In any case, its
sharpness is dulled some by the fact that the
ECA has managed to save SPIT million out of the
total made available to it in the past fiscal
year-a saving that can be spent as carryover
fund this year. Accordingly, barring further
slasheS, the sum recommended by the Senate
Appropriations Committee may be sufficient to
prevent a serious Setback in the remarkable eco
'nomic recovery already achieved under the Mar
shall Plan.
But it is now being proposed that there
should be another 10 per cent cut and that it
should be applied not merely to the new funds
but also to the carryover of SPIT million and'to
any money now obligated that may later on be
de-obligated. This would represent an additional
Evening star., 1950-07-16

slash Of more than $500 million over and above
I'D the IS per cent reduction agreed upon when
Congress authorized $27 billion for fiscal 1851
and ~ the extra 10 per cent slash recommended
by the Senate Appropriations Committee.
In the considered opinion of people at the
ECA, this suggested additional cut, if adopted,
might easily prove to be the straw breaking the
camels back-an' act of false economy that could
do irreparable harm to the Marshall Plan. 1t is
a dangerous proposal-dangerous because it
would invite the slowing down and undoing of
the recovery of Western Europe in time of
crisis when that recovery is of vast Importance
to our own security.
These days are much too grave for risk
taking economizing of that type. Congress should
set its face against 1t and vote 1t down. There
might be tragic consequences otherwise.

In The Star for July 20, 1900. the
following editorial paragraph from the
Chicago News was quoted
international with approval: Never.
Compoiqn since Xerxes' time, have
the nations of the world
gathered their varied armies together
as is now the case at Tien Tsin. Under
the walls of that grim old Chinese town
English and American. French and Ger
man, japanese and Russian. Austrian
and Italian fought side by side, heredi-
tary enmities forgotten, vengeance in
their hearts and the great worlds ap-
proval at their backs. At LeipSic, in
1918, Napoleon, with his French and
Polish troops. faced Germans, Austrians,
Russians and Swedes, while at Waterloo
the Corsican had to meet English, Ger
mans, Belgians and Hollanders. In the
Crimean war Russian stood against
English, French, Turkish and italian
armies, but in none of these conflicts
were so many and such heterogeneous
forces brought together as in China
yesterday. The battle of Tien Tsin
might we'll be called the battle of the
nations, and the great war now at hand
should go down in history as the war OF
the world against Mongolian barbarism."

Spires Of the Spirit

The immortal drama Of Job is one of

It's piercing spiritual insights are valid

It is sentence any man might covet
as his epitaph, after he has left this
mortal sphere. Here it is: your words

What a stirring phrase that is for
these days of destiny when, as the fierce
strife RACES for the minds and souls of
men, words are f1inging men to the
ground and words are keeping men on
their feet!
It is a matter Of history that men
with despair and defeat in their fright
ened hearts, again and again, when all
seemed lost, have turned retreat into
victory because some dauntless leader
has kept them on their feet by the
elixir OF his words. Sheridan did that
in the war of the SOS, when to his
panic-stricken troops he cried: Turn.
boys. turn! We're going back" Mac
Arthur did that when, after the horror
Of Bataan, in a prophetic promise to
the Philippines he declared, st shall

War II, when the prospect was "black

Churchill electrified the embattled Brit

potent as planes, he kept men on their

captain of his time literally broke

outnumbered, held back the threat to
civilization, giving us in America pre-

Americans and Pototo Buqs

The repeated Russian claim that
United States aviators are dropping po-
tato bugs on Eastern Germany shows
how little the Slavic mind comprehends
Western thought development. They are
like the small boy who always says. MY
pants tore" or MY pencil broke" Show
me the boy who will say. II tore my
pants" or II broke my pencil"
Americans know that if they dropped
potato bugs on the farms of other people,
in a short time the bugs would be back
with large families. Americans don't put
fleas on other peoples dogs. Fleas are
great infiltrators. They like to take over.
and like the COW bird, lay their eggs in
other birds nests. We know that if we
use poison gas on the other fellow,
given change of wind. it will blow back
on the users. Americans have known for
a long time that you cannot injure a
neighbor without injuring yourself. How
much longer will it take the Slavic mind
to comprehend this?
No American would drop potato bugs
on any farm. He would know that it
was a crazy thing to do.
