For q United World

When we think of the United Ma
tions we recall that men are builders.
From the substances of earth men have
erected homes, temples, schools. hospi-
tails. Each building has been fashioned
in relation to mans thought and will,
and according to forces unseen and in
tangible the world Of man has arisen
on all Sides >- +t'
We now are striving to build q United
Nations. and again we shall build in
evitably by thought and will What
type Of creation we manage to establish
will depend upon each mans contribu-
ton to the building. because each great
. thing Is built in time by public opinion;
| and for public opinion not one leader
' but all men together are responsible
What do we desire the United Ma
tions to become? If our desire is for
the whole, one world-that is, for the
good of man as man-then we must
conceive Of mankind as brotherhood.
If man is to survive we must have
united world, world worthy Of sur
vival. The United Nations must become
the model or pattern for that world
Each who has the vision must help to
create it.
Must it not be the duty of every man
to formulate clearly his individual will
and thought. in order that he be able to
contribute his best to this international
dream?

The Power to RetoIiote

1t is good to know that the radar warning
system around the continental United States is
now nearing completion. But that does not
mean that the Nation, once the system is In full
operation. will have a foolproof defense against
possible air attack At best all that it means is
that we will be in a considerably better position
to cope with such an attack when and If it
comes.
Actually, the radar network-designed to give
advance night-or-day warning of any strange
planes approaching the country fromthe north,
east south or VESTS only of the vital things
required for adequate defense against an atomic
assault from the skies. AS General Vandenberg,
chief of the Air Force, has just pointed out we
must have large numbers OF Jet interceptors as
well. They are at least equally vital They must
be on hand-not on order-to rise and meet the
attackers just as soon as the warnings come in
In addition, an abundance of weapons like mod
ern anti-aircraft guns and ground to-sky guided
missiles are needed.
Yet, even with all these defensive devices
and General Vandenberg has warned that our
radar construction is way ahead of the acquis-
tion of jet interceptors" still cannot hope to
enjoy anything like absolute security. On the
contrary, although we may equip ourselves with
the best possible warning and-interception sys-
tem we must always reckon with this fact: That
although the system would enable us to exact
heavy toll of any attacking force it would not
be able to prevent upward of so or 10 per cent
of the planes in that force from breaking through
to their targets In short, as far as the fore
seeable future is concerned, we must expect that
we will have much less than perfect defense
against enemy atomic bombers and that lot
of them will succeed in hitting our cities in case
Of an all-out war
OF course, the same holds true for all nations,
including Russia. But our own country with
its concentrated industrial regions, is uniquely
vulnerable to air attack, to a greater degree
than Russia's sprawling land mass. That is why
it is so important for us, in this time of danger
Gus world tension, to make our defenses in the
sky as strong as we can. At the same time,
however, we must recognize that radar inter-
ceptors, ETC., though of vital significance, add up
to only limited degree of safety and that our
best insurance against an assault is our power
to retaliate swiftly and terribly, on massive
scale, against any attacker.
That power is very real thing As long as
we maintain it, as long as we keep it supreme
and remain constantly watchful in the sky with
things like radar, aggressors- s-meaning Specif-
ically the men of the Kremlin-will be extremely
hesitant to attack us. Its deterrent effect un-
doubtedly is tremendous Indeed, as result of it,
there is at least fair chance that another great
war will be averted and the Moscow conspraters
forced to shift to policy making a lasting peace
possible. $50

Eqyptiun Point of View

In your editorial Of october 18, en-
titled Warning to Egypt" you expressed
approval of Secretary AcheSons state
ment that the British have a right to
remain in the SueZ Canal Zone, on the
ground that ito permit the Suez to
come under the control OF hostile forces.
or to fall into the hands of any one
incapable of defending it against hostile
forces. would be an act of folly"
AS the Suez Canal is an integral part
of Egypt, your position completely ig-
nores the right of the Egyptians to con-
troll their territory and condemns them
to remain under foreign occupation.
Need l remind you that that is not in
keeping with the spirit of the American
Revolution. or the ideals for which your
country fought two world wars?
Naturally. Egypt is Just as concerned
as you are about the safety Of the Suez
Canal. But the Egyptian people do not
believe that the safety Of the canal re-
quires them to continue to submit to the
British occupation-an occupation which
began in 1882 and has continued to this
day under one pretex or another.
Obviously, the hostile forces which
you fear might gain control of the canal
are the forces of Russia. But to reach
Egypt. Russia first would have to conquer
Turkey which lies directly at her south
ern border. Turkey, therefore, is in more
imminent danger of attack than Egypt,
yet no one has suggested the stationing
of British or other foreign troops in
Turkey. Why then insist that British
troops be stationed in Egypt, to protect
the canal which is more than thousand
miles farther away from Russia?
II Russia succeeds in conquering Tur-
key and the several Arab countries sit
uated between. Turkey and Egypt, would
the 10000 British troops which the
treaty. allows maintained in Egypt be
able to protect the canal? Egypt has
expressed her readiness to raise an army
ten or twenty times the size OF the
British force. If given the opportunity.

The Peoples Riqht to Know

Our Board of Public Welfare should recon-
slder' the policy of secrecy in relation to the
names OF persons on the public assistance rolls
OF the District Its policy in this respect has
been the policy of the Federal Security Admin
istration and of Congress. Under that policy.
no State, or the District of Columbia has been
eligible to receive Federal grants for public
assistance unless the secrecy policy was followed
unoer local law or regulation. In August of 1947
the Board OF Public Welfare adopted regulation
comparable with the laws or regulations of the
States, providing, in effect, that the list of ap-
phcants for public assistance must be protected
from public inspection and used only for pur-
poses of relief administration
Congress- by adopting the Jenner amend
ment as rider on the tax BILL has now elm
mated the condition of secrecy in the grant of
public assistance funds. The amendment cor
rectly prohibits any use of the assistance rolls
Tor commercial or political purposes But it
leaves to the States and to the District of
Columbia decision as to permitting public in
spectlon OF the rolls There is legitimate reason
Tor the people to have access to the rolls and to
know who is getting what. Congress did the right
thing in approving the amendment
In Washington, our public assistance is ad-
mlnlstered under regulations of the Board of
Public Welfare There is no general public assist
ance law for the District, although it is under
stood that such law has been prepared and is
now under study in the Budget Bureau This
proposed law contains the same prohibition
against inspection of the relief rolls that is now
provided by the existing regulation of 1947 The
board should lift that prohibition.
We have good record here in the absence
OF scandal over public assistance. Local admin
istration has given no evidence of wasteful
practice or failure to prevent the sort of chiselng
that has been evident in some of the States, and
which was responsible for the growing demand
throughout the country-Starting in Indana-to
do away with secrecy. But it seems to The Star
that principle is involved here of more impor-
tance than occasional acts of, fraud by the
recipients of public assistance. This principle is
that the people should have full access to all the
records where public funds are being spent. It
is their money. 1t is their right to know about
the use of their money. The right supersedes in
Importance the possible embarrassment to re-
cipients of public assistance through revelation
of their identity. 1t is that principle which
should guide the Board of Public Welfare in
abandoning the secrecy provisions of its own
regulations.
