When Mr.. Mason Steps Out

Commissioner Mason hoped to stay on for
while longer as District Commissioner and he
was frank enough to say so before the President
decided to appoint successor But If he is
disappointed, his friends know that Guy Mason
accepts the facts with grace and without bitter
ness. For this is in keeping with his character.
At 70, with an honorable record of over nine
years as Commissioner, Mr. Mason has every
reason to be gratifed that when he leaves his
office at the District Building for the last time
he takes with him the respect affection and
good wishes of great many Washingtonians
Such tributes have been won under fire. For Mr.
Mason has shown more than once that his mo-
tives were the highest, that he stuck to his con-
victions when the going was tough because he
believed he was right Yet no man has been
quicker to acknowledge his own mistakes when
convinced of error.
He brought to the District Building deep
desire to be of public service. And he is leaving
behind him record for public service and in
tegrty in Office that are in no way affected by
the appointment of successor.

Under date of February /, 1901, The
Star published letter by Secretary Of

of Stondords the establishing of a
National Bureau of
Standards. He argued that it was not
good for the United States to be de-
pendent upon other nations for its
weights and measures. Then he said:
1.-THE establishment of bureau like this,
where the Government is the custodian
and the originator Of these standards of
weights and measures as applied to all
the higher scientific aspects of life which
we are so rapidly developing in, has, to
my mind, value far above the mere
physical consideration which affect it, al
though those physical considerations are
fundamental and most important. Moth
ing can dignity this Government more
than to be the patron of and the estab-
Usher of absolutely correct scientific
standards and such legislation as will
hold our people to faithfully regard and
absolutely obey the requirements of law
in adhesion to those true and correct
standards" Mr.. Gage added that the
plan for the proposed bureau was ap-
proved by business representatives as well

Greek Coffee Houses

According to The Star Of February
6, Police Supt. Barrett wants to ban
the playing of games in restaurants.
and he cites as dangerous example
the fact that the Greek coffee houses
are frequented by people of all ma
tionalities who find diversion in sitting
around, playing cards. checkers, back
CANNON and barbudi. who read racing
papers and listen to race results on
small radios. These activities are HARM
less enough. one would think, unless
the coffee houses encourage betting,
and so far the police superintendent
has not made formal charge to that
effect.
In the interest of discouraging crime,
1t would be unfortunate to interfere
with the individuals right to the "pur-
suit Of happiness" unless it can be
definitely proven that that particular
pursuit is in violation of the law. 1t
must be remembered that many Ameri-
cans of foreign origin still consider
the restaurant or coffee house as their
club, just as they would consider the
cafe in Europe as the center of their
everyday social activities. In the light
of this fact, the Recommendation SO
zealously gathered by the agents of the
Police Department regarding the habits
of coffee house habitues Is not neces-
sarily an indictment Of their morals; the
same data might even indicate that the
individuals under observation are lead
ing, in a perfectly open manner. a
peaceful and law-abiding existence,
amusing themselves in ways that are
traditional with their original homeland.
Or is it crime to amuSe ones self
in a restaurant, even though very little
food is served or consumed?
If the coffee houses are actually en-
couraging crime, then by sll means let
appropriate measures be taken to rem
edy that condition. But let us not
hastily condemn customs that may be
fulfilling necessary social function
even though they appear different from
the prevailing pattern.

A cable dispatch from Milan to The
Star of January 80, 1901, told OF the
funeral rites Of Giuseppe
Verdi's verdi, greatest of Italian
Funeral composers of opera, who had
died three days previously.
"The ceremony was most simple, but
very impressive, owing to the silent
homage Of the populace, who were
present at the service in immense num-
bers." Borne first to the Church Of st.
Francis, the remains Of the famous
master of melody then were carried to
the cemetery through throngs of people
standing reverently at attention. There
were no speeches at the graveside.

Library of Congress Brochure

The Government Printing Office recently
published a booklet entitled "The Library of
Congress and It's Works" which should be of
interest to everybody concerned with the social
and cultural aspects of the Federal Government.
What the worlds largest library does is the
theme of this brochure.
Introductory statistics explain that the
Library was established in 1900 and that up to
June 80, 1949. it had cost $117,717 ,e28 with
$15130,656 of that amount invested in buildings
containing 1563.189 square feet of floor space
and $50 miles of steel shelving for books The
total collections of the Library exceed 81 million
pieces-all sorted, catalogued, classified for use.
In the main reading rooms there are chairs for
$50 readers, but not all of the research to which
the Library contributes is done on the premises
other agencies and to some accredited independ-
ent scholars
It's index consists of approximately eight
million cards, increasing at the rate of quarter
million entries year. The new brochure illus
trates the divisions maintained for law, local
history and genealogy, Orientalia and Slavica,
maps, Hispanic affairs, music, newspapers and
periodicals. manuscripts aeronautcs phonograph
recordings, prints and photographs. 1t shows
views of the services to the blind, concerts and
lectures, microflning, rare books, photography
and copyright, legislative reference, the Whttall
pavilion and the Woodrow Wilson room in which
is preserved the personal library of the twenty
eighth President given by his widow.
The average citizen may not think of the
national photographic establishment as operating
in so vast field, yet it does and this brochure
proves 1t. Copies are available at the Office of
the Superintendent of Documents GPO, at
rs cents each-the estimated cost of production.

Gonodo's Defense Effort

AS its contribution to the common security
Of the free world, particularly the Atlantic COM
munity, Canada is planning to undertake de-
tense program that will cost SIS billion over
the next three years. The program-which is
now before Parliament where its approval is
considered certain-calls for sharply stepped
up effort in all branches of the country's mill
tary establishment, land, sea and air.
y At present, 10000 individuals are in active
Service in the Canadian Army, Navy and Air
Force. This figure is now to be raised to u.s. 900.
In addition the Defense Ministry's mobilization
plans, which embrace the immediate procure
ment of stores and materiel needed to fight the
first year of war if war comes contemplate
having 100000 men (including four fully equipped
divisions ready for duty in that year
Other features of the program include Cd
the near-future dispatch of brigade group or
regimental combat team $1,000 to 5000 mem to
serve under General Eisenhower in Europe; 90
the commissioning of nearly 100 ships of the
latest type to enable Canada's Navy to take an
important part in the defense of the North
Atlantic; (3) the assignment "in due course"
OF eleven Squadrons of the Royal Canadian Air
Force to European duty under the Eisenhower
Atlantic Pact command; and "a measures to
bring the RCAF up to a strength of forty regu-
lar and auxiliary squadrons requiring 5000 ad-
ditional planes
3 Further as part of its role in the North At
lantic Treaty Organization, Canada, which has
already supplied Holland with equipment for one
infantry division, plans to transfer to the NATO
armament and equipment for another European
division, and it proposes to continue such trans
fers to the limit OF its present holdings of arms
of the British type, which it is replacing with the
American type. 1t also is ready to offer training
to 100 NATO airmen year.
Measured against our own American effort
all this may seem small. But Canada, country
with population of only 100000, is still In
the process of developing its natural resources
and must devote much of it's energy and power
to the maintenance Of essential internal services
over vast area. It's preparedness program
though perhaps deficient in some respects, is
therefore by no means unimpressive Our good
neighbor to the north can be counted upon to do
Its full share if the worst happens

Snyder Mythology
By Roymond MoIey

1t is worthwhile to examine one Of
Secretary Snyders arguments against a
possible rise in the interest rate on the
Federal debt of from 21a per cent to
per cent.
The Secretary is quoted as saying that
to pay one-half of per cent more inter-
est on the Government debt would cost
the Treasury ST $50, ,000.0 900. This is prob
ably true with reference to the waole
debt. suppose Secretary Snyder means
that to pay one-half of per cent more
on new. bonds and to refund old ones at
the new rate would burden the budget
with that additional amount. So far,
so good.
But he should add that he would re-
cover a very large part of this $780,
100000 in new taxes. For the additional
interest would go to taxpayers, and it
would be added to their surtaxable in
come and be subject to tax
We cannot exactly determine how
much would be recovered, but let us con-
slider the cases of some holders. on tine
basis of the tax rates now asked by the
administration. Some Of the bonds
would be held by people with very large
incomes, where the tax "bite" would be
95 per cent. On the additional interest
paid to these people, the Government
would recover IS cents on every addi-
tional dollar paid them
Every corporation with an income over
$4,000 which held bonds would have to
give back between SIS and IS cents on
every additional dollar paid by the
Treasury. Then if the corporation paid
out the remaining Is to IS cents that it
had left in dividends to it's stockholders.
Secretary Snyder's tax collector would
grab some additional tax money. 1t
would be possible-and an excellent tax
accountant, l.. Robert Driver. has care
fully calculated these figures for me
for the Treasury to get back as taxes as
much as 1914 cents of dollar paid to
corporations.
On the additional interest paid to
smaller individual income taxpayers, the
amount recovered would vary from per-
son to person. But on balance. it would
be very large.

Spires Of the Spirit
The Righteous Sword

There is nothing inherently good or
bad about sword. The quality OF
sharpened steel may depend on whether
it is in the hands OF surgeon or
bandit. Earth's greatest Teacher ad-
.monished, Put up your sword; for he
that takes 1t shall perish by It," That
sword was drawn in anger and ven-
geance. It was bad sword. But Jesus
also said. II am not come to bring peace,
but sword" That sword unsheathed
against evil was a good sword. All de-
pends upon the purpose for which the
blade is to be used.
In ancient days. the walls OF ruined
Jerusalem were rebuilt by toiler-s soldiers
with trowels in one hand and swords in
the other. And as late as last summer.
gardeners were seen with hoes in one
hand and cans Of poison spray in the
other for the pests which attacked their
growing plants.
Without swords, coerced men are COM
PEELED to cry peace when there Is no
peace and to surrender the most heaven
ly things to the most hellish forces.
There Is sword bathed in heaven. II
swords are in the hands only Of those
who cannot be trusted with them, then
the only peace possible between the lion
and the lamb, which, it is prophesied,
shall some day lie down together. is for
the lamb to lie down inside the lion.
There are present-day appeasers of evil
who would label that arrangement peace.
But peace dictated by unethical force
Is the peace of slaves.
When a prime minister took an UNI
brella to Munich and no righteous sword,
glorious little. democracy in the midst
of Europe was thrown to the wolves in
appeasement. perfidy committed for
peace in our time. A show of weakness
will never bring in any day Of peace.
A nation must be strong to make its
word for peace effective. A peace gained
by constant retreat because of the
threatening blackmail Of superior force
is not peace. but war. It will be day
of mourning for all the free world if
ever our Nation, whose potential force
is the greatest. refuses to back to the
hilt its belief in universal brotherhood

Russio's Tin Pan Alley

The Literary Gazette, that terrible-tempered
Moscow publication that is always hitting some
body over the head particularly us bourgeois
neo-Fascist, imperiaistic, decadent, Hitlerte
Americans), has now turned its wrath on Soviet
songwriters The characters it has in mind
appear to be roughly comparable to the denizens
of our own Tin Pan Alley. That is to say they
spend their time cooking up lyrics and beating
out rhythms about the moon and June and
Eabushka's love and the stars above, and how all
is blue without you, my sweet little Volga
sweetheart.
These trashy love songs, according to the
Literary Gazette, are altogether intolerable-an
insult to the latest fve-year plan for bigger
and better Marxist Utopia What is particularly
infuriating, moreover, is the way composer
writer teams, when the Central Bureau for
Beautiful Party-Line Music rejects their songs
celebrating the Bolshevik revolution, merely re-
write the lyrics and resubmit the same twaddle
for occasions like Goal Miners Day. Or ARTILLERY
Day" That sort of thing, says the Gazette, must
stop. What must be produced is real poetry for
the Soviet hit parade-stirring stuff about such
subjects as Ninotchka, the norm filling factory
girl. or how monkey wrench stole Ivan's heart
away ("Shine on, shine on, Moscow moon for me
and my lathe. Night and day. day and night,
slave for you, stalin'D.
All this must be depressing to the writers of
Russia's popular songs. They probably have been
accustomed to thinking that their Tin Pan Alley
like our own, could hardly be subjected to party
line control, being far removed from any deology
but the ideology of non-poltical bushels and
pecks of hugs around necks under moon in
June. But now they know better They have
been put straight by the snarling Literary
Gazette. If they have heard the tune, they may
well be saying to themselves that "The Thing"
