Envy appropriately is symbolized by
figure dressed in dismal garb, lacking
money to buy the luxuries of life but
ogling enviously the fur coat of a
wealthy man.
DR.. Fosdick holds up mirror to our
common humanity when he keenly re-
marks: How many folks there are who
can live kindly with interiors and
amicably with equals, but who grow hard
and envious as soon as they deal with
folks who surpass them! We compete
with rival, and are beaten. and some
thing as old as Cain wakes up in us
and gives us tussle before we are done
with it, All. yes. we all know it and
might as we'll confess it, One of the
most difficult of spiritual exercises is
to praise the very excellence by which
we are surpassed.
One of the saintliest of men, Andrew
Bonar, wrote in his diary 20 years after
he entered the ministry: Envy is my
hurt. And today I have been seeking
grace to rejoice exceedingly over the
usefulness of others even when it casts
me into the shade" That sin whose
blight John the Baptist escaped, as he
said of the Master, HE must increase
and I must decrease" nevertheless

closest to the great Galilean who was
the servant of all. For even as the

planned that he had availed himself of
the right to decline to answer questions.

Gen. Dick. The cadet replied mo, sir"

General Kutz and What He Did

Brigadier General Charles w. Kutz dying at
30, left deep impression on Washington. This
was due in part to the times in which he served
as District Engineer Commissioner, and in part
to his ability. He served longer-more than 10
yearS-than any other Engineer Commissioner.
His period of service broken into three parts,
and 81 years intervened between the time he
first took the oath and the close of his last term.
He came to Washington first in the leisurely
days preceding the First World War, before the
city was beginning to feel the impact of hustle
and rapid growth. That was in, 1914 Probably
his most important sc~"n2?ent in that first term
was to Hc1, 1--WE direction to the newly formed
Public Utilities Commission, of which he s~rved
from 1914 to 1917 as chairman. He left Washing
ton In 1917, as SO many others did, to go to war.
In France he commanded regiment of engineers.
After the war he was appointed by Presi-
dent Wilson to another term which lasted from
1918 to 1921. And it may have been in these years
that he made his greatest contribution to the
orderly development of the city For it fell to
him, as Engineer Commissioner to zone Wash
ington into use, area and height districts He
supervised this task with his usual quiet prec-
sion and only those who can remember the nu-
merous disputes and problems that had to be
overcome in those days in winning over the
citizens to relatively new concept in planning
will be able to appreciate how we'll the Job was
done under General Kutz.
Some 20 years later in 1941, President Roose-
velt called General Kutz from retirement and he
served until 1945, during the period of the
Second World War. His always good counsel his
sympathy for and understanding of Washing
tonians and their problems made him invaluable
at the District Building And it is gratifying to
remember now that he lived to hear his fellow
Washingtonians, at dinner in his honor on
November IA, 1945, pleasantly recall to him the
many things he had done to win their gratitude
General Kutz served with eleven civilian
Commissioners and 1t may be interesting now
to recall their names-Oliver P Newman, Fred
erick L. SiddonS Louis Brownow, w. Gwynn
Gardiner, J. Thilman Hendrick Mabel T Board
man. Cuno H. Rudolph, James F. Oyster. Melvin c.
Hazen, John Russell Young and Guy Mason. Some
of them gone now, but any one who ever
served with him has reason to recall his solid
counsel his capacity for work his detailed
knowledge of everything that went forward under
his supervision and his personal inspection of
every construction job that became his re-
sponsibility. There was never any fuss and
feathers about General Kutz But there was
lot Of good sense, with great ability.

Nehru. However, no outline concerning
these proposals Of Pakistan nor of In
dlas objections to same was given in the
editorial, thus leaving the reading public
completely in the dark as to their rela-
tive merits. But the editorial stressed the
fact that only the obstructionism of In
dlas Prime Minister stood in the way
OF plebiscite and a peaceful solution Of
the present dangerous situation.
In his book, Independence and After"
Mr.. Nehru gives detailed account of the
development of the trouble between the
two countries and the efforts made to
come to a peaceful settlement. He re-
peatedly states that it is India's policy
for the people of Kashmir to settle the
ultimate fate Of their country by popular
vote. Mr.. Nehru is statesman of world
standing. known as an honest and cour-
ageouS man. and his words carry the
ring of truth. So it seems unfair to con-
demn him editorially without a presen-
tatlon OF some OF the facts which led
to Indias rejection of those three pro-
posals.
1t is true that India's stand as neu-
tral between the two great power blocs
has not been a popular one, leading to
much suspicion and criticism from both
sides. Perhaps this was inevitable with
our present He who Is not with me is
against me" psychology. But this Mr..
Nehru knows well. Only history can
record the ultimate value Of this stand,
coura geously taken at time when the
world badly needs neutral mediation.

Brown Not 'FonoticoI'

The preservation of the surrounding
area of Harpers Ferry does indeed "ap-
peal to the natural interest of the people
OF Washington'-and to the interest of
many throughout the world who admire
John Brown. For the name "Harpers
Ferry is practically synonymous with
that OF John Brown, so closely are they
allied.
The role, however, of Brown in con-
nection with fancied fanaticism, as
seemingly expressed in your editorial of
January IA, in which you rightly at
tribute the principal fame of Harpers
Ferry to the incident of Brown, but
ascribe the motive of the abolitionists
raid to a fanatical urge, cannot, in my
opinion, oe considered as authentic.
For the clubbing of John Brown as "the
most tanatlcal of the abolitionists" will
not lower him in the estimation of MANY
who consider him a martyr. Neither
Will any inference that the abolitionists
were fanatlcal lessen the admiration of
the many who honor these men and
women for the firm stand which they
made against slavery.
The recanting words and deeds of
John Brown were prompted by no other
motive than that of altruism. There

Approves Loyalty Boord System

Mrs. Marion Doyle has answered ef-
fectiVely the criticisms of Alan Barth's
book, The Loyalty of Free Men" She
points out that Government employees
are overwhelmingly loyal, as indeed
Americans everywhere are overWhelm-
ingly loyal. But after all who can be a
final authority on loyalty in such con-
fusing times?
The Government loyalty program is
not merclleSS inquisition. The boards
are composed of fallble, albeit con-
sc!entlouS citizens who can only sift
carefully through the evidence and at
tempt to weed out the most dangerous
elements. There is no attempt to shackle
thinking as Mr.. Barth fears. but only
an attempt to forestall harmful action
Thousands of good Americans who
have followed "the human tendency to
do foolish or indiscreet things. especially
IN youthful days" Ito quote Mrs. Doyle)
and who have had and still have the
thinking persons prerogative to examine
the merits of conflicting ideas-have not
the falnteSt desire to be loyal to any
other country when the chips are down.
But there are those few malcontents and
fanatics who translate mystic theories
into an abnormal cause.
The loyalty program has been a useful
factor in clarifying the atmosphere and
in bringing Americans around to the
conclusion that the Soviet Union rep
resents concrete threat to the survival
of this Nation. Our freedom theology is
not very useful if we are weak and
vacillating. Progress does not emanate
from ncgativsm
Mr. Barth is right when he says heresy
should not be a symptom of disloyalty.
for IN way loyalty itself is heretical
in respect to the cult of irdividualism
per Sc. Extreme nationalism can be
dangerous, but democracy carried to ex-
tremes can be even more dangerous. All
we need is moderate and constructive
patriotism, and the loyalty boards in
spire it. Certainly, this is a perfectly sane
and non-hysterical method of isolating
our internal enemies If it were any
more liberal, we could scarcely retain
our self-respect as a Nation

Our Visitor From France

When he arrives here tomorrow Premier Rene
Pleven of France will Immediately begin two
days of talks with President Truman. His visit,
like the one made recently by British Prime
Minister Attee, will involve matters of first
Importance to the free world-matters bearing
directly upon the vital effort to unity and
strengthen that world as much and as fast as
possible in order to safeguard it against the
eVer-present threat of Communist aggression
Mr.. Pleven, though not yet so years old,
is statesman of rich experience More than
a decade ago, before Hitler began to march, he
was already serving his country with distinction
both at home and abroad. Later, during the
course of the war after France had fallen he
played leading role, in numerous capacities
as key member of the Free French govern
ment of General Charles de Gaulle Today, as
Premier heading coalition cabinet, he is
burdened with larger problems and heavier
responsibilities than at any time in his career.
Indeed, not many of his predecessors in office
have had a greater load to bear.
For Mr.. Pleven, as political chieftain of one
OF the Big Three Powers of the Western world,
is faced today with task that encompasses
such extremely difficult undertakings as main
tanning Frances economic stability in period
when largescale rearmament is imperative and
when the country is deeply engaged in bloody
war against the Communists in far-aWay Indo-
China. In that war, incidentally, the French
have about as big army committed as we
have in Korea-a fact which when coupled with
their developing military program in Western
Europe should serve as a check on too-hasty or
exaggerated criticism of their efforts in behalf
of freedom.
The truth is, actually, that the French.
although they can and must do more, have lately
been making very respectable contribution to
their own security and the security of the free
world. Mr.. Pleven, during his timely and hiohly
welcome visit, presumably will outline what
further steps they propose to take, and in ex-
change he can be expected to sound out the
President on such important matters as military
shipments for Indo-China and Metropolitan
France. American policy on the inter- allied
sharing of raw materials, economic help to
prevent imitation and our attitude toward Paris
desire to try to have a four-power conference
with the Russians.
Although it has been announced in advance
that Government will make no secret COM
mitments, the talks between Mr.. Truman and
Mr. Pleven can hardly fail to clear the air and
help to close some Of the cracks recently apnear-
ing in the An21o-Frenc' American front. In
any event must hope so. ard the hone seems
altogether res eor2ble. For Ny. Pleven and
Frence-lil:e Mr.. Att'oe and Brital-are tried
and true friencs of freedom. and there is little
ground for doubling that tlev will continue to
be one with us in upholding it, come what may.

Suspended Judgment on India

With reference to your editorial en-

rather one-sided presentation of the is

that at the recent conference of the

Spires of the Spirit
The Jove|in of Envv

Saul eyed David" Thus in three
master strokes the Scripture gives us this
vivid, verbal etching. Saul's heart was
gripped with envy because of the pop
ularity captured by David in his dra-
matte victory over Goliath. The dancing
women were chanting the praise of the
shepherd boy instead of extolling the
King. 1t was in passion of envy that
Saul hurled javelin at his youthful
competitor for the peoples admiration
and affection. It is not a pretty picture,
but it has been reproduced countless
times across the ages.
In the tangled tale of human behavior
no motive is more dangerously potent
than envy. 1t is the impish culprit which
pulls the strings for much of the un-
worthy acting on lifes varied stage. If
one yields to its malignant temptation,
at last it eats like a canker and DESTROYS
the finest elements of character. To con-
quer envy is to be on the way to moral
grandeur.
1t was piercing insight Of Goethe's
which led him to declare: Against the
great superiority of others there is no
remedy but love" jealousy turns the one
who allows it house-room into a slave.
Envy is the explanation of more slander,
half-truths and discounting gossip on
the lips of individuals than any other
motive which poisons human relation
ships.
A good friend of mine wrote this SEN
tence: He who is conscious that envy
has found Judgement in his soul. who
knows of some one whose success creates
an emotion of resentment and covetous-
ness in his heart and calls forth express
sions of depreciation and criticism should
closely examine himself and cast himself
humbly on the mercy of God
In any list of the deadliest sins envy
of necessity is included. At Washington
Cathedral there is group Of sculptured
figures representing, in modern dress,
the top seven vices in the aristocracy
OF evil. Here in contemporary clothes
are those perennial foes of saintliness
which have worn the prevailing fashions
OF every age. under all skies. They
seem like gargoyles endeavoring TO
preach sermon in stone as they sur
round the central figure of Penance.

MonPower or Air Power?
By Bruce Borton

AS my friend Maj. Alexander P. de
SeveIsky points out in his book, "Aur
Power: Key to Survival" professional
soldiers tend always to fight each new
war with the strategy and weapons Of
the last.
The United States and its Allies won
World War II by invasion forces, landed
under the protection of naval guns. So
now. in the air age, our generals and
admirals want more navy and more
millions of men to wade ashore and
fight on land.
The three departments of the mill
tary are jockeying for position. each
demanding most men and most money.
The result, says Maj. Seversky, is the
same as if three engineers were debat-
ing how to get our armed forces across
a wide river.
The first says. Il will build ferrv"
The second, Il will build bridge" Ths
third. Il will dig a tunnel Ii we 1T
look out our economy will be bankrupt
and the enemy will have won the var
before any one of these projects is
finished.
When was in Congress we cheerfully

GIldl IIle AlIIly anu NAVY dSkeQ. AL OF
us assumed that the country was we'll
protected, especially in the air. Hadn't
the Wrights invented the airplane?
Weren't our factories the biggest and
most efficient in the world?
1t came to us with a terrible shock
when we learned-first from Col.
Lindbergh-that we had only a few
hundred planes, mostly obsolete, while
Germany had thousands.
Congress and all of us were shocked
again when the war started in Korea.
Billions and billions had been given to
the armed forces in the preceding five
years. What had they bought in the
way of arms, ammunition and imple-
ments Of war? Seemingly almost
nothing.
Generals and admrals are brave men
who have sworn to give their lives. II
need be, for their country. They are
entitled to our respect and gratitude.
But before We give them universal
military training let them tell us
whether they plan to win the next war
with manpower or with air power.
