India Scolded Over Kushmir

Recent statements made by Mr.. Nehru
and other spokesmen of the Indian Gov
ernment show a common underlying de-
sign. Conscious of its own responsible
ity for the continuance of the Kashmir
dispute, the Indian government has
started a campaign to divert attention
from its own intransigeance to alleged
guilt elsewhere. -.
Pandit Nehru and his agents at the
United Nations have been screaming
about alleged violations by Pakistan of
the cease-flre agreement Pakistan's
Minister for Kashmir Affairs has pointed
out that altogether there have been S84
incidents relating to cease -fire-of these
nearly 500 by India. Most Of them were
minor Incidents. The loud clamor
raised by India has no other aim than
to queer the pitch for the U. N. repre-
sentative. DR.. Graham, and to provide
India with an excuse for not carrying
out her international obligations for the
pacific settlement of the Kashmir dis
pute.
Reports covering the activities Of the
U. N. representative, DR.. Graham, also
have covered allegations gathered from
official Indian sources to the effect that
Hindus are fleeing from East Pakistan
into West Bengal 0ndia). These wholly
unconf1rmed reports are in accordance
with a familiar pattern. Since Indian
conduct in Kashmir does not bear world
scrutiny, an alternative has to be pro-
vided as target for attention.
Another action in the same diversion
airy campaign has been India's refusal
to pay Pakistan for certain consignments
OF food grains on the ground that the
stocks were unfit for consumption. It
may not be known to your readers, but
all shipments are inspected by an in
dependent inspecting agency nominated
for the purpose by the Indian govern
ment itself.
Such allegations are partly diversion
ary IN intent, and partly designed to
harass. They are in large measure the
result Of the enormous aid sanctioned
by the United States. I can see clearly
a revival within the next two or three
months of full-scale economic war by
India against Pakistan.
All agree that the Kashmir dispute
and India's continued defiance of u. N.
constitute a threat to peace. The ques-
tion for the democratic world, there
fore, is If they will continue their atti-
tude OF mendicancy or assert their will
Tor peace through just solution.

Spires Of the Spirit
The Lure Of the Road

Again the vacation roads are crowded.
The urge for the elsewhere Is gripping
untold millions. A popular song ex-
presses the creed Of host which can
not be numbered: II was made to
wander, was made to roam" Once
more comes the season Of the year when
gypsy blood Is In the ascendancy. Work,
which once was exhilarating and chal-
lenging, has somehow lost its luster as
the long months have dragged on. The
yearning for a change of tasks and
scenes becomes compelling. Routine
grooves finally wear so deep that they
threaten to become graves. Coercive
schedules loom as tyrants.
Even the Master of Men, when the
pressure OF crowds had drained all re-
sources, whispered to His disciples:
Come apart, and rest awhile" When
that mood becomes dominant, the road
just beyond the swinging front gate
is the escape. It's tempting invitation
rings In ones ears. Cushioned tires
wait at the door to whirl away to for
getfulness those who, turning the key
in the door. are eager to abandon them
selves to the lure of the road.
Il
How the popular periodicals and travel
literature cater to this tugging at the
leash Of the routine and expected! With
all the ingenuity Of art, far-stretching
roads are depleted leading to oases of
natures handiwork which are riot of
rich color and of scented delight Color
full etchings Of enhancing views of far
places begin to weave tinted tapestry
of anticipation. They tell of delectable
spots where every prospect pleases,
where amid still waters and green pas
lures or where the curling surf alter
nately pounds or caresses white sands,
or amid tempted hills or towering peaks,
body and soul may be restored.
With the call of continent throned
in beauty between the seas, no wonder
Americans are inveterate roadsters.
Especially in July and August the wan
derlust gets most of us. DR.. Samuel
johnson used to taunt Scotsmen by
saying that the noblest prospect of
which old Scotland could boast was the
spectacle Of the road that led to London.

Overorgonizinq
By Bruce Borton

AS an earnest young college graduate
in a big lonesome city. began attend
ing meetings of Unself1sh Movements
and Worthy Causes A few months of
this brought startling and somewhat
discouraging discovery: The people met
were sincere and devoted, but in every
meeting, no matter what the name or
the object, they were the same people.
In fact, one night speaker stood up,
looked over the little group of serious
laborers in the vineyard, all of whom he
had seen in many clubrooms and en-
listed under many banners, and he said:
We'll. what do you call yourselves this
time?"
The question was cruel one, but it
was nopetheleSs apt. These warm.
hearted, faithful folks were so busy Or
ganizing that there was little time left
for doing.
Our forefathers accomplished a great
deal OF good with practically no organ
ization. If neighbor fell sick, the other
neighbors turned to and harvested his
crops. If he needed a barn, there was
a barn raising. Big problems were left
once year. and cleaned up everything.
NOW the impulse to overorganize has
become almost epidemic. The same
businessmen who are caustic of govern
mental bureaucracy are themselves slaves
to business bureaucracy. Instead of the
old-fashioned reliance on individual
effort, or informal neighborhood alll-
ance. the first impulse of anybody with
good idea Is to print letterhead, hire
an office and secretary, and launch q
national or International program.
Any such organization, however tenn
porary the need, tends almost inevitably
to make itself permanent. Too often it
bo1ls down finally to budget, an Office
and couple of secretaries. Each year
the secretaries grow older, until finally,
when it is asked: "Why shouldn't we
dlsband? We have done our job" the
answer is: But what would we do with
Miss This or Miss That who has given
her life to this good work? We just
can't throw her out"
We Americans have two permanent
national organization which could solve
many Of our problems if only our best
citizens would get inside them and work.
These are the Democratic and Repub-
lican Parties. But our best citizens are
too busy, spread too thin all over the
benevolent map. AS result, good i'm
pulses are watered down, time is wasted,
and charity too often becomes little more
than celebrity hunt with dinner at
the Waldorf.
Wouldn't it be well for us to declare a
national sabbatical year, during which
there would be no forums, committees,
conferences. or testimonial dinners? We
might discover the important truth that
great convictions can never be served
like chicken patties. That heart can
never be organized.

him in regard to the matter argued that
ocean bathing at night is allowed at

Success in one city will help the winning

corruption wins out in one place, the task
Of the reformers in the other community

failure attends the occasional efforts of
the decent citizens to better things NUM-
cipal, the attitude of the voter becomes
more and more Indifferent He is made
to feel that corruption is perhaps the
natural end Of government and that it is
useless to fight against it. Tammany's
success in New York has been largely due
to this very frame of mind on the part Of
the average citizen. The pretense of the
machine leaders to give the people a busi-
ness administration and to regard their
critics as oflce-seekers is accepted by far
too many>voters at its face value. In
New York the fire commissioner has just
been indicted for misconduct in Office
along with man to whom it is charged
he has given supply contracts which
have mulcted the city heavily for several
years. The proving Of these charges
will materially help the anti -Tammany

Solvent Health Insurance

In his letter of July 6, C. A. Wood
cruSades for health insurance that
would cover illness treated at home He
believes this will solve the problem of
critical shortages in hospital beds, and
I suggest that he has posed the most
challenging project in the controversial
realm of medical economics. Few
people can understand why political
magic cannot legiSlate the answer
Unless the performance of a health
insurance system equals its promise, it
is fraud. 1t must be an enforceable con-
tract where liabilities in health risks
do not exceed income II the plan
promises too much, either the quality
of care suffers or doctors work for slave
wages. To avoid both evils three con-
ditions must be met: First, there must
be no cash benefits to tempt either neu-
rotics or malingerers. Second, all pos
sible elements of fraud or exaggeration
must be eliminated from patient claims.
Third. 1t must be impossible for the
doctor to pad his bill.
To date we lack solvent, non-cancel-
liable, non-selective, low-cost insurance
plan for health risks treated in hospitals.
This must come first. Until we have
the actuarial experience which provides
a solvent equation between health risks
and their fair costs when treated in ap-
proved hospitals. we cannot venture
into home-treated coverage. I am sure
Mr.. Wood will concede the opportunities
for fraud. exaggeration and imposture
would be almost beyond solvent control
in home-treated cases. This is the sad
truth. but If we foolishly ignore it. we
will destroy any chance we ever had Of
underwriting health security insurance
program that would satisfy and endure

8 One whose boyhood was spent In rural
England tells how, with other lads, he
would often trudge miles just to stand
at Signboard and to gaze at the mys-
terious fingers which said: ITO London
Ito York" What an opening into the
fabulous unknown! Down by that fin
ger post the towers and spires of those
noble cities seemed suddenly to crystal
lize into actuality.
Christianity tells of the city which
lies at the end of road which it is its
one mission to envision. Her signboards
not only point the way, but they visual
ize the end of the long road as pilgrims
OF the night keep their faces turned
toward that city whose Builder and
Maker is God. That sweet and blessed
country" has been the dream of the
prophets across the crowding years, as
they have glimpsed the vision splendid
of it's cleaning, alabaster towers.
It. was to that signboard that the
prophet was pointing as he proclaimed:
And highway shall be there, and
way, and it shall be called the way of
holiness. Prepare ye the way of the
Lord. Make straight in the desert
highway for our God" And the lure
of that road which still stretches on
ahead to the radiant city of Kingdom
Come is that 'the crooked shall be
made straight. and the rough places
plain. And the glory of the Lord shall
be revealed. And all flesh shall see 1t
together"
That is the golden destination which
with prophetic outlook Winston Church
Ill calls humanity's "sunlit uplands."

II am the way" Blessed are they who,

Sutton Hoo Treasures

Those philosophic antiquarianS who always
have insisted upon the exceptional richness OF
the remains of ancient Britain have been justi-
fed in large part by the display of the treasures
found at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk. They prove the
wealth of neglected period of England's his
tory. Any society capable of producing such
works of art necessarily would be one as civilized
as our own. Indeed there are indications that
the culture represented in these beautiful things
was superior to any now current. There probably
does not exist today single goldsmith capable
of making ornaments of the class of the hinged
clasps and the other noble ornaments pictured in
Life magazine for July Is.
In any case, the cost of modern equivalents
of the jewels unearthed on the estate of Mrs.
E. NJ Pretty would be prohibitive. To duplicate
the Sutton Hoo treasures would require a tre-
mendous expenditure. This fact serves to illus
trate not merely the prosperity of early Christian
Britain but also that of continental Europe. Some
of the precious relics originated in Byzantium,
some in France, some in Sweden That means a
universal appreciation of beauty as well as a
universal talent for its creation to order. Still
more challenging is the sacrifice of these i'm
mensey valuable possessions. They were buried
in memorial mound, perhaps cenotaph of a
sort raised over wooden ship 80 feet in length
in remembrance of a prince inferred elsewhere.
Coins dated between $50 and 670 AID. suggest
that the honored hero was King Anna of East
Anglia or his brother and successor, King Aethel-
here, who died, respectively, in 654 and 655.
Obviously the Sutton Hoo treasures prompt
more questions than they answer Their artistry
