It is an error to assume that the

= Searching for vacuums.
This is a situation which West
ern diplomacy must exploit.
Stain no more wants strong
satellites than he wants strong op-
ponents. He wants vacuums of
power everywhere outside Russia.
Above all, in the East, Stain does
not want strong China. It is the
one country-more than a coun-
try, q vast civilization-which, If
1t becomes unified and strong, can
one day challenge and endanger
Russia's leadership in Asia. But
this would require a long period
Of peace and economic expansion
to recover from the Japanese and
civil wars. The Chinese civil war,
backed by Russia, had the dual
purpose of creating a government,
temporarily at least, subservient
to Russia, but more important, its
purpose was to dissipate Chinese
strength and set back Chinese re-
covery. II. as one result, millions
starve in widespread famine, Sta
lin will profit-not lose-for a
prospective rival will be weakened.

the long-range interests of China
and Russia are not identical. He

World War II was financed
about one-third from taxes and
two-thirds from borrowing. This
was the work of the Senate FL
nance and House Ways and
Means committees under their
present chairmen, Senator George
and Representative Doughton.
Senator George is now talking of
postponing a new tax bill until
next year; Representative Dough-
ton has said he would wait for
the Presidents tax message but
approved the pay-as-you-go prin-

It is not on record that Mr..

gone in so heavily for gum drops.
ice cream sodas, wild West movies
and cap pistols, and had saved my
money. :
I could have used that money
today because I saw something I
really needed-the Golden Pelican.
The Golden Pelican is one of
the most fabulous jewels in the
world. It is a 64-carat diamond
of q deep golden color and is the
only one Of it's size and color in
existence. There is always the
chance that the earth may yield
a similar stone, but the betting
here in Antwerp against such
duplication would be 10 million
to /, easily.
It is called the Golden Pelican
in honor of Pelican street here
where it was cut and polished. It
lis unset as yet and is for sale by
one of Antwerp's biggest diamond
merchants. Ginsburg & Son, in
whose Offices I saw it. I held 1t
in the palm Of my hand and it
was like holding a shimmering,
golden ice cube. It's about that
size, and nearly as cold.
Destined for a King.
Mr.. Severy, a partner Of the
firm, said that the Golden Pelican
was destined for a king, but he
would rather not divulge which
king. Later he introduced a buyer
from Cairo, Effendi Abdul Malik,
and with the perception for which
I am noted I put two and two
together and decided that King
Farouk might have a new stickpin
some day soon.
I didn't ask Mr.. Severy the
price Of the stone lest he should
think I wanted to make a S. down
payment on it, with a thousand
years to complete the install
ments. But I asked others on
Pelican street what the golden
gem was probably worth and none
guessed lower than $500,000.
In this same Office I saw several
collections Of diamonds which
we're breathtaking, to say the
least. One of the collections re-
quired 10 years to complete, and
in it are diamonds Of every color
in the rainbow and more besides.
There are green diamonds, light
pink diamonds. rose diamonds,
aquamarine diamonds, blue dia-
mondS, and coal black diamonds.
The rose and black diamonds are
the rarest and the most expensive
I had never seen black DIAMOND

Putting 1t Bluntly
President Breaks the Tough News
Higher Taxes Wanted Right Now

Economic Advisors which is due
Wednesday,. The report will not
spell out a tax bill; it will develop
the thesis that with the right
program Of stiff taxation, the
hated controls of World War II
may be avoided for the present.
A possible interim action sug-
gested in some quarters is repeal
Of the 80th Congress tax reduc-
tions. Senator Robertson of Vir-
ginia has suggested that every
body pay fiat ten per cent more
tax this year. Re-imposition Of
the wartime excess profits tax is
said to be not feasible.
A Bitter Dose.
Taxes are a bitter dose for the
election-year Congress but the
situation here Is snowballing very
fast. Since the President unveiled
his request for ten billion dollars
more for defense, demands for
reservations in leading hotels have
been approaching, the wartime
crest. Big industry is shopping for
space, one hotel manager declared,
and all hotels are having to take
pains to keep proper amount OF
transient room available.
How firm the demand would
prove, he said he could not guess.
He suggested however that per-
haps all the hoarders are not
confined to women afraid they
won't have nylons.
There are several new apart
ment hotels in Washington since
the hectic housing crises of World
War II and many more one-room
apartments. Actually the new
census rather disappointed some
boosters because the city did not
keep more Of its wartime popula-
ton but failed by about 207, 900 to
reach the million status. The
metropolitan area did grow as
toundingly.
Transient and non-housekeep-
