That is laudable objective, and the increase
is likely to be taken in stride by the public at
large. Nevertheless there Is something regret
able about the prospect. In effect, it means
that our Nation is divesting itself of an 8O-year-
old institution. Apart from the economics
involved-the need to be more businesslike with
Federal fnances-it is a shame that such an
Institution, like the whalebone corset or the
surrey with the fringe on top, must become
just another memory associated with the dear
dead days beyond recall.
Too many old things have been vanishing
in the hustle and hustle of our changing times
The good hve-cent cigar, the fine inexpensive
house, the bar with the free lunch the bicycle
built for two, the uncluttered highway, the
nickel hamburger-all these, and much more
besides, have come and gone. And now, after
80 years, even the penny postcard is on the
way out. Truly, it is one of the curses of our
age that nothing seems to endure for very long.
The situation is particularly sad for people with
acute nostalgia temperaments. Too much of the
past has been passing away, and we are the
poorer for it.

Inside Red China

In his recent speech to Communist poticos
in Peping, Premier Chou En-lai gave voice to
lot of boasts and threats and phony propa-
ganda about how Red China, with the support
of it's great" Russian ally, has achieved such
unprecedented unity" and scored so many sue
cesses in so many f1elds-including Korea-that
it has become 1.-The pillar Of the world camp OF
peace and democracy" in Asia.
However, in the same speech, the Premier
said things indicating that this wonderfully
democratic" peaceful" successful" and uni
fed" land is ANYTHING but that. 1t is "economi-
cally backward" It's land-reform program has
run into serious resistance. Its industrial and
agricultural production is sorey deficient The
masses of it's people have not been properly
approached and educated by "functionares" of
the Communist Party. And there is still so
much opposition on the part of great numbers
of counter revolutionaries" that large-scale
purge" operations must continue to be carried
out relentlessly.
All this speaks pretty much for itself as
commentary on the kind of democracy" peace"
success" and unity" that the Communists have
brought to China. Despite the tall talk in it,
Premier Chou's speech reveals that the Peiping
dictatorship-in addition to having been mauled
in Korea-has run into a lot of trouble at home
Although it has shot thousands and thousands
OF nOn-cOn1Ormlng clClZenS IL SLlll unQS LfaC IL
must keep on with the purge. The reason for
this, in the PremerS words is that the multi
tudinous Observation-Disclosures and "ban-
dts" (meaning large masses of Chinese men and
women who do not kowtow abjectly enough to
suit theQRed tyranny are reluctant to accept
their extinction lying down."
Such reluctance may be expected for long
time. BY and large, the Chinese people-hiStori-
cally people of non-totalitarian temperament,
who place great stress on family life of a sort
that runs counter to Marxist regimentation-are
not likely to be putty in the hands of Peiping.
No central government in modern times has sue
ceeded in genuinely unifying them and their
vast sprawling land-a land whose roads and
communications are so poor that the inhabitants
of immense areas Of it lack any real sense Of
nationhood and hence pose a very real prob.tm
for the Communist "unifers."
OF course, through sheer terror, the Peiping
tyranny may succeed eventually in getting the
total RECOMMENDATION it wants. But eventually is
not now. The deep-rooted habits and traditions
of the Chinese people, together with their historic
reliance on trade with the free Western world
constitute immense obstacles to Sovietization
Certainly, as OF today, it seems safe to say that
conditions inside China make it extremely doubt
full that the country, If it can be converted at all
can be converted into truly formidable Com
munist power for years to come.

So You Think We've Got Initiation?

1876 million merks for gas and cleo
tricity"
Such was the price structure that If
the printing presses stopped for one day
there was an immediate money famine.
The highwater mark was reached on
November IS, 1923. when the dollar was
worth 25 billion marks.
BY this time the country was enveloped
in an air Of unreality. Merchants strug-
gled to dissuade customers from buying
any of their slender supplies of merchan-
disc, for who would want to exchange
cotton, wool and lard for paper?
Proprietors would have closed their
stores had it not been for law which re-
quired them to stay open for a few
hours daily
Some idea Of the fantastic spiraling of
prices can be cleaned from the figures
quoted in the German publication, Tag
liche correspondent, in 1921, two years
before the worst inf1ationary period.
The figures showed that in 1914, 5000
marks was the yearly income of the
average middle-class citizen, while in
1921 the same number of marks could
buy an ordinary carpet. In 1914, a
country villa could be bought for 10000
marks, while in 1921 that was the cost
Of small repair to roof. OF course
by 1923. 10000 marks could not even
buy hole in the roof.
On pay days workers ran to the
nearest stores to buy almost anything
offered, in the mad rush to get rid of
their wages before further drop in their
value
From time to time the Reichsbank
would be unable to supply enough bank
notes in sufficient amounts and had to
limit the sums paid daily to its GUS
toners. One publishing house with a
weekly payroll Of over million marks
could get only $4,000. The bank brought
production up to billion-mark denomina-
lions.
Some economists have theorized that
a scarcity Of bank notes would have
forced prices down, but this was not
tried-perhaps through fear Of worse
upheaval in the interim period.
Yet in the middle of this economic
catastrophe, the average German, though
literally starving. appeared to many visi-

Critique Of Mr.. Brown

On reading the column Of Constan-
tine Brown in your paper Of October
20. I was amused by the fact that the
body of the column bears no logical
relation to the head and the tail. At
the beginning and end of the column
Mr.. Brown seems to be asserting that
it would be wrong-he calls it "opti-
mistic"-to infer, from the victory of
Mr.. Churchill and the Tory Party in
England, that the Republican Party
would win the next presidential election
in the United States The rest of the
column, however, is devoted entirely
to demonstrating that the British
worker sticks more closely to the Labor
Party than the American worker can be
expected to stick to his party (Which
for 10 years has been the Democratic
Party, at least in national elections.
If this has any logical bearing on the
point that Mr. Brown set out to prove, it
would seem to indicate the reverse
Of his conclusions.
Should I be far afield in guessing
that the main body of the column
originally was written by Mr.. Brown
before the British elections as a means
Of explaining away a possible Labor
victory. and that he later attempted to
salvage his draft by this curious non
sequitur? Leon Lipson.

CIorendon's Lack of Foresight

The only really controversial proposal out of
1ve bond issues to be voted on tomorrow in
Arlington Is the result of lack of foresight by
county planners and Clarendon business interests
Had more attention been given to Clarendon's
oH-Street parking problems during the period of
phenomenal growth in Arlington, today's parking
crisis in Clarendon might have been averted
In marked contrast to the intelligent, business
promoting policy of such newcomers to the coun-
ty as Hecht's and Kann's, which have provided
huge of1-street parking facilities for their Gus
toners, most OF Carendon'S businesses have relied
on the public streets as parking places for pa
irons cars. This was understandable in the DAYS
when Clarendon was not bothered by parking
troubles. But it is hard to understand why
number of large business establishments have
ignored the parking situation in building their
stores IN Clarendon's congested commercial dis
trlct And 1t is hard to understand why county
authorities have given so little serious thought to
the problem until recently. There should have
been building restrictions long ago requiring ade-
quate of-street parking for every new business
establishment
Whoever is to blame and whatever the cause,
Clarendon is faced with an intolerable parking
dilemma-intolerable that is if business in that
area Is to continue to prosper in competition with
the free parking retail centers opening lust be-
yolu TIE COngeSCed area OF Clarendon. That
Is why $4,000 bond issue for county-oWned
parking lots in the heart of Clarendon has been
added to the list of bond proposals for tomorrows
election. The bonds would be issued under State
law authorizing special parking districts where
business property would be taxed to repay the
loans. Some OF the opposition to this plan has
arisen over misunderstanding as to who will
bear the burden Of the cost of the parking lots.
Under the law, only the property owners within
the Clarendon parking district will be liable for
the special tax, which, with certain revenues
from the lots, will retire the bonds The county
has promised free parking space for limited
periods.
Chief opponents of the parking bonds are
merchants of the Columbia Pike shopping section.
They emphasize that the parking bonds will be
an obligation of the whole county until paid off
by the business taxes. This is true, but the risk
involved in this arrangement does not seem to
pc appreciable as the county could collect
Through liens on property of any defaulting busi-
ness taxpayers.
Other bond issues before the voters tomorrow
will be one Of s131800o for streets and sidewalks
$l3S2,O00 for storm sewers 1882 900 for parks and
Fairgrounds and S505,000 for new court building
All OF these improvements are desirable but GER
tainly the most urgent right now are those for
highways and storm sewers. Without bond issues
1t would take the county long time to catch up
with the street and food -water programs neces-
