Five Years of the World Bank

One of the most successful and least con-
tentious OF the worlds cooperative enterprises
has just completed its first half decade of op-
erations with record of achievement indicating
that its work in the years ahead-barring the
outbreak OF another global war-will yield in
creasingly rich dividends in terms of promoting
the economic betterment of mankind
The enterprise is the International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development, popularity
known as the World Bank. The first institution
Of its kind In history, it has current member
ship of 40 countries, including one Soviet
satelite-Czechosl When It began It's
lending operations on June IS, fve years ago 1t
placed primary emphasis on projects designed TO
help in the rebuilding Of war-ravaged Europe
Since 1948, however in a kind of Point Four
Program OF its own, 1t has been chiefly concerned
with the task &of stimulating economic progress
and raising living standards in underdeveloped
lands.
To date, no fewer than 20 countries have
received from the bank loans totaling $1113-
$4,000 OF this sum, $3.50 900 has gone to
Europe, $268, 900 to Latin America, SIPS, ,100-
600 to Asia and the Middle East, 500 100000
to Oceania (Australia), and $50 100000 to Africa.
The bulk OF the funds advanced thus far has
been in the form Of gold or dollar credits, but
Swiss francs and pounds sterling have also been

"a type of loan that may become fairly typical
OF the banks future operations
AL of these loans-invoving intergovern-
mental guarantees and large measure OF private
capital mobilized by the World Bank through
the sale of it's bonds to institutions like
insurance companies and to individual in
vestors-have been made in keeping with the
strictest kind of banking standards and have
already put earnings Of more than $60Oo0 900
into the banks Golfers. One of the big reasons
the soundness Of the lending procedure is
the fact that before any application is passed
upon, special field missions make on-the-scene
investigations to determine the economic
justification and technical feasibility of the
project In addition, each loan is closely super
vsed to make sure that the money is properly
: and efficiently disbursed
Even Sketchy outline of its work shows
that the World Bank has been doing a fine
constructive job Somebody has called 1t "the
bank that nobody's mad at'-nobody, that is
except certain people behind the Iron Curtain
The accolade is deserved The enterprise has

Mr.. Matthews as Ambassador

President Truman's choice of Secretary OF
the Navy Matthews to be Ambassador to Ireland
is happy one. It is said that MIR. Matthews
had his eye on the Dublin post before the Presi-
dent nominated him to take over the Navy De-
partment hot seat from John L. Sullivan, who
had quit in protest over cancellation of the Nays
super-aircraft carrier plan. It was difhcult

the Navy, but he tackled the Job with typical

The President on Korea

PRESIDENT Truman, IN his hard-httting Ten
nessee address, has given q properly qualified
answer to the Soviet proposal for calling halt
to the war in Korea Declaring that the United
States is as ready now as it has always been to
join in a settlement, he has made clear at the
same time that the settlement must be genu-

restores peace and security to the area and to
the gallant Korean people, and 80 offers no
reward to the aggressor.
What remains to be seen is whether Moscow
and Peiping are prepared to agree to peace
making arrangements that will meet these three
broad conditions. The Soviet proposal-which
has been fully" Endorsed by the official news
organ of the Chinese Communists-merely sug-
gests that the "benigerents' should start dis
cussions for cease-1re and an armistice pro-
viding for troop Withdrawals from the Ssth
Parallel. But are the Reds ready to drop their
demand that the Mao Tze-tung regime, as
reward for aggression, be granted title to For
mosa and to membership in the United Nations?
viii they give ironclad guarantees that they will
not renew their attacks after hostilities are
ended by negotiation and they have had a re-
freshing breathing spell? And are they willing
to Cooperate with the U. n in an effort to
attain the long-range objective OF united, free
and genuinely secure Korea?

that will have to be cleared up before there can
be any certainty about the sincerity, or insin-
certify of the Peiping backed Soviet bid for
peace discussions President Truman, for his
own part, has responded to the bid in manner
strongly suggesting that he is still quite a bit
skeptical about the whole business He can
not be blamed for that. After all, as he has
re-emphasized in his Tennessee speech, the
postwar record of the Kremiin and its satellites
has been record Of persistent bad faith, sys-
tematic violation Of solemn treaties, unending
mendacity, violent hate propaganda and out
right acts OF direct and indirect subversion and
armed aggression. Accordingly, when these
people still mouthing their colossal lies, come
forward now with cease-f1re proposals, the free
world has every reason to adopt a doubling
show-me attitude.
Ut may well be, of course, that the Commu-
mist leopard is really anxious to change his
spots. II so, he can give concrete evidence to
that effect. Meanwhile, the rest of us would
do well to pay heed to the Presidents plea for
national unity in the great and imperative task
OF building up our defenses. No matter what
happens in Korea-and Mr. Truman has power
fully defended American policy there-this world
is going to keep on being extremely dangerous
for some years to come. Along with our Allies,
therefore, we must hold fast together In COM

from precipitating an all-out war-or to crush
them II they cannot be deferred.

had an experience unique within the
decade of my residence in the District
when / heard Commissioner Donohue
speak few nights ago at q meeting of
the Brookland Civic Association. He is
man OF sincerity, simplicity and
strength.
Every citizen should hear Commits
sioner Donohue's message on the fiscal
history of our relationship with Con-
gress. 1t is an amazing story. It is one
which the people of the entire country
should receive. Only when the full ac-
count has been told to all citizens can
there come relief for the Districts finan-
cial distress and an end to congressional
mistreatment.

THE YOUNG vice consul rode mule
i into Mexican bandit territory to
check on American oil company EN-
ployes being held for ransom.
He walked through streets, along
which groups OF Hondurans were shoot
ing at each other, to meet United
States destroyer he had called in to
protect American lives during revolu-
/ tion.
He never owned q pair Of white spats
! and his striped. pants were lost in a
Nicaraguan earthquake that demolished
the American Legation building around
his head.
On his first assignment, for IS months
he worked every day. including Sundays
and holidays, except for one week eud
of. Promoted to consul, he ran into
q six-monthS stretch of work that kept
him so busy that he averaged only five
hours sleep night.
These are some Of the highlights in
Willard Z. Beaulacs story of what life
can be like In the American Foreign
Service. Mr.. Beaulac. new American
Ambassador to Cuba who has worked
his way UP during 80 years in the
Foreign Service, tells the story In
Career Ambassador" book published
today by Macmillan Co.
Now 81. Mr.. Beaulac entered the
Foreign Service in 1921 after winning
the alphabetical" distinction of being
the first person to receive a. degree from
Georgetown University's School of For
eign Service-because his name began
with "B."
It took him % years to work up
from vice consul to Ambassador. He
was on a diplomatic hot seat as coun-
sellor of the American Embassy in Spain
during the war and in 1914 was made
Ambassador to Paraguay. Three years
later he was shifted to Colombia. just
last week. the Senate confirmed his new
appointment to Cuba.
The emphasis in his book is on the
struggling early years in out-of- -the-way
places like Puerto Castillo. Honduras,
where he normally wore khaki pants
and an open-necked khaki shirt-adding
"a holster and automatic pistol" for
visits out Of town-while the tails" and
tux" he had thought vice consul
should have gathered mildew.
Mr. Beaulac decided to make book
OF the fighlights Of such q career be-
cause 'it occurred to me that it was
high time our people should be given
the opportunity to know a bit more
about what goes into the preparation"

Progress?

over a month ago, on May 20, The Star
revealed that the Districts Public Welfare De-
partment and other public agencies had been
denied access to information on Juvenile Court
cases which hitherto had been available to them
but which was now denied under new inter-
probation of the law BY Juvenile Court Judge
Cockrill The agencies were In other over
this denial to them of information concerning
background material considered to be necessary
In their own work.
On May % Commissioner Donohue began
series of conferences with the Corporation Coun-
sell Vernon West, and Judge Cockrin over what
to do. AS lawyer himself, Mr.. Donohue was
of the opinion that the Judge already had dis
cretion, under the law, to make the desired in
formation available. Corporation Counsel West
took the same view. But the Judge did not agree,
feeling that the only way to make the informa-
ton available, as it had been made available for
some 13 years by her predecessors, was to amend
the law.
So on May 20, Commissioner Donohue asked
Mr. West to draft an amendment. On June IA
1t was sent to Judge Cockrill. On June Ii the
Senate District Committee voted to have its own
counsel, Gerhard Van Arkel, draw up an amend
ment Mr. Van Arkel, however, does not believe
the amendment is necessary and thinks the Judge
can do what her predecessors did under the law
On June 20 Commissioner Donohue Mr.. West
and Judge CockrilI conferred on the amendment
The next day the Judge sent her views on the
amendment to Commissioner Donohue. On June
% the amendment was forwarded to the Budget
Bureau, where it Is now.
So, by that type of progress SO closely asso-
ciated with the ponderous machinery of gov
ernment, the time is possibly approaching when
the amendment, in all its glory, will be unveiled
before the Senate District Committee and the
! decks will be cleared for action The committee,
no doubt, will pursue the question that has been
raised already-whether it is the law, or whether
1t is the judges thinking, that requires amend
ment In the meantime, information essential to
the intelligent handling of cases by agencies
other than the Juvenile Court Is still bottled up
ut the court, and vacancies created by resigna-
tion OF court personnel, who could not agree with
Judge Cockrill, remain to be filled. The Judge
is also creating new Juvenile Court Advisory
Committee, her previous advisers having given
notice that they are quitting.

Big Event, Few Witnesses

It is too bad that the debut OF commercially
sponsored color television could not have been
held under more auspicious circumstances. The
worlds first color broadcast with advertising
tie-ins came at time when few persons could
witness the event either with color or conven-
tonal black -and-white receivers And it came
at time OF controversy and uncertainty over the
whole future of color TV.
Five Columbia Broadcasing System stations,
including WTOP-TV here, put the opening pro-
gram on the air. It starred a number OF
popular Columbia TV artists. Advertisers paid
$3.50 an hour for sponsorship privileges That
is a fraction of the regular black-and-white
rate, which takes into account the huge number
of televiewers with black-and-white sets. In
contrast it was estimated that only 1000
receivers in the New York area were equipped
to receive the color program. There are but a
handful of sets in Washington capable of re-
ceiving color or of receiving CHS color broadcasts
in black and white
The conventional unadjusted set received
only garbled hash of lights and shadows-and
herein lies the crux Of the dispute which has
arisen between the Federal Communications
Commission and most manufacturers of TV sets.
The CHS SYSTEM approved by the FEC and up
held by Supreme Court majority, is "incompat-
be" with present black white receivers. That
is 1t cannot be received in black and white on
present sets without the addition of an adapter.
And to receive CHS programs in color on existing
sets requires also spinning color disc. The
industry at large would have preferred system
of color that would have been compatible with
present sets
The Radio Corporation of America has de-
vised compatible tube system of color TV which
was given another demonstration on the same
day as the CHS show. The Supreme Court agreed
that compatibility was desirable" but the FEC
has refused to wait for further development Of
the RCA method Meanwhile few manufacturers
have expressed willingness to produce adapters
and converters which conceivably might be
outmoded in the next few months or years. That
is why good color program played to such a
small number of spectators on what CHS de-
scrbed as historic occasion in teevison history.
