Stain to His Fifth Columns

For reasons known only to himself and his
eo-consprators, Generalissimo Stain has made
a special point of emphasizing that Communists
throughout the world can count upon receiving
full support from the Kremlin Gin the fight for
liberation and for the preservation of peace"
At the same time, he has left no room for doubt
that those same Communists-whether French,
British, Italian, American or whatnot-must
consider it their obligation to continue working
without let-up for the greater honor and glory
Of the Soviet Union.
In making this pronouncement in a speech
to the closing session of the Communist Party
Congress in Moscow, the Russian dictator has
harped on the words liberation" and peace"
to describe the objective of the collaboration
that is to be carried forward by Reds everywhere
under the overall direction of the Kremlin.
Translated from doube-talk language, "nbera-
ton" may be taken to mean Cd subversion Of
the type that has destroyed once-independent
lands like Czechoslovakia and (2) aggression Of
the type that has ravaged Korea. AS for peace"
what Stain may be presumed to have in mind
is the kind of order that would prevail in q
Soviet dominated global society after the violent
overthrow of free governments.
OF course, in stressing the close ties between
the Kremlin and the Reds outside the Soviet
empire, Stain has merely confirmed what the
free world has known for q long time But
his frankness is somewhat surprising in view
of his past disavowals of any intent to inter-
fere in the internal affairs Of other countries.
In fact ever since 1888 when he won American
diplomatic recognition with the Ltvinov-Roose-
welt agreement pledging Russia against such
interference, he and his dictatorship have
staged an elaborate pretense designed to give
the impression that international communism
is not really what 1t is-a conspiracy to pro-
mote the Kremlin's domination of the globe
Typical of the pretense is the story of the
dissolution" of the Comintern (the Communist
internationally at the height of the war in May.
1943, when the U. S. S. r. was desperately in
need of large-scale Western aid.
The phoniness of that dissolution" has
long since been demonstrated, principally by
the Comintern's loudly proclaimed resurrection
in 1947 under new name-the Cominform (the
Communist Information Bureau). Actually,
there has never been q real break in the ties
between the non-Soviet Reds and the control
ling Kremlin. The two have been conSpiring
closely together for decades past to carry out
Stains orders to establish abroad national
revolutionary blocs Of workers, peasants and
intelngentsia, and ito spare no pains or means
to render assistance to the proletarian revolu-
tions" in both East and West. AS for the loyalty
expected of a good Red-American or any other
kind-here is the official Soviet dictum, as SET
forth publicly in 1913:
Communists real internationalist"- -

recognition up to the point OF practical and

The reputation Of the League Of Ma

powerful undercurrent Of isolationist
sentiment throughout the country. This
sentiment, however, had been greatly
stimulated, II not originally aroused, by
the vigorous professional attacks OF the
Republican politicians In the campaign
of 1920 against the expiring Wilson ad-
ministration and all its works. In the
course of these attacks. the Republicans
were led to invite the voters to choose

Now at the present time, there is .

Cosmos Club History

In Katharine M. Brooks article on the
new Cosmos Club at 2121 Massachusetts,
avenue October -. she showed some un-
familiarity with Northwest Washington.
In constructing decades ago what is
now the Cosmos Club, Mrs. Richard
Townsend did not build around farm
house. The structure she built around
was the large. attractive home Of Judge
Curtis j. Hillyer, with two or three ter
races leading to the street level.
Mrs. Townsend built around it because
she had always had death in the family
when she built new house. However, q
few weeks after moving into 2121 Mas
sachusetts avenue, Mr.. Townsend was
thrown by his horse and died Of his
injuries.
Judge Hillyer was such prominent
citizen and jurist. the street between @
and r, Connecticut avenue and Twen-
tieth street is named for him-Hllyer
place.

EquoIizing Montgomery Assessments

Circuit Judge Stedman Prescott Of Mont
gomery County has paved the way for more
sensible handling Of appeals by property owners
against inequitable assessments. The appellate
rights of Montgomery citizens had been seriously
threatened by misinterpretation of recent
Circuit Court ruling on the part Of the county's
Tax Appeals Court.
Judge Prescott had ruled In a State Tax
Commission case that property owner who had
admitted that his assessment was below full
cash value" could not expect the court to order
reassessment simply because comparable
property had been given lower assessment. The
only grounds on which the court could overturn
q decision by the State Tax Commission, he said,
were systematic discrimination or fraud" The
Montgomery Tax Appeals Court had used this
ruling as a basis for rejecting all appeals by
property owners who protested that others had
been favored by lower assessments.
But now Judge Prescott has made it plain
that the Tax Appeals Court can, and should,
consider such appeals whether or not there Is a
showing of systematic discrimination or fraud"
The tax tribunal he said, is not court in the
general sense of the word, but a body created
to "assess and reassess" real estate upon
recommendation of the assessors and in conjunc-
ton with the State Tax Commission The law
creating 1t requires it to see "that all taxable
property shall be entered upon the assessment
rolls and equalized between persons, firms and
corporations" so that they shall be assessed
alike for like kinds Of property" Obviously, the
county agency is obliged to perform this equal
izing function whether, the inequity results from
unintentional or deliberate discrimination by
the assessing authority. Property owners whose
assessment appeals may have been rejected by
the Tax Appeals Court because Of misunder-
standing as to the scope Of Judge Prescotts
original ruling are entitled to have their cases
reopened promptly.

Dr.. Mossudeqh's Disservice

Trans Premier Mossadegh has done q great
disservice to his own country and to the free,
world in breaking of diplomatic relations with
Britain.
It is late now and it does little good to
apportion the blame for failure of the many
efforts made to settle the bitter controversy that
stemmed from Iranian naturalization of its oil
industry 18 months ago. The Iranian and British
governments, the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company,
and perhaps even our own Government in its role
Of mediator, have erred or dragged their feet at
various points along the way.
There has been, however, a pattern of irrec-
onciability in DR.. Mossadegh's conduct through
out which leads to the conviction that he has
never genuinely wished settlement. The joint
British-American proposal of last August 80 and
the subsequent Qualifications provided fair and
reasonable basis for adjustment of the dispute.
In brief, they contained an unequivocal accept
ance of the naturalization action as fact,
proposed adjudication Of compensation claims
Of all parties by the International Court sug-
gested joint consultation on restoring the indus
try to operation and offered immediate financial
relief to Iran through an American grant or
$40 million and British relaxation of restrictions
on exports to Iran and Trans use OF sterling.
The concessions involved came from the British
American side and implied no surrender OF pres
tige or position on Trans part.
DR.. MOSSadegh'S reactlOn was Darrage OF
ultimatums and threats. Included were demands
for unreasonable payments by Britain to Iran
on time schedule which he specified, scornful
references to British imperialism, and the VOW
that he would break of diplomatic relations
unless his conditions were met The British were
fully justified in rejecting his proposals as
unreasonable and unacceptable" while repeat
ing their earlier offer and the assurances sur
rounding it.
There is no discernible advantage to Iran in
the course now taken by DR.. Mossadegh His
country's greatest industry and greatest revenue
producer is shut down. His government Is in
financial difficulties despite such palliatives as
curtailed budgets, defaulted obligations, bank
loans and currency tinkering. Extremist political
factions, including the Communist Tudeh Party,
are standing by to take advantage Of the coun-
try's increasing weakness.
The imperialism which has threatened Iran
most gravely in modern history is Russian. It
threatens Iran today, the more so because of DR..
Mossadeghs disruption of relations with Britain
and his encouragement Of the public belief that
both Britain and the United States are unfriendly
to his country. Iran and its people deserve bet
ter than to be led to disaster in this manner.
Despite the Illustrations and difficulties now
standing in the way, British and American
efforts must be continued to seek solution OF
this deplorable and unnecessary crisis.

Fine Arts Neglected?

The cultural status Of q community
depends upon the level Of the fine arts
produced in it rather than what Is i'm
ported into it. The leading cultural
expression Of Washington is the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra. Anything
that advances its growth and develop
ment contributes to the growth and
development Of our culture. Everything
that inhibits the orchestra's growth re-
tards our cultural development.
The discontinuance Of the Watergate
Concerts was q major blow to our cul-
tural growth and one we will become
increasingly aware Of as its fun effects
become recognized with the passage Of
time. Imported ballet. opera. and musi-
cal companies are no adequate substitute
for the summer music programs OF the
National Symphony, and mean little to
our cultural development. Their major
result Is to enrich shrewd and capable
producers. but they have their place in
q total picture that includes the Ma.
tional Symphony as the principal effort.
Lack Of weather protection for audi
ence and performers ut the Watergate
resulted In financial losses that could
not be borne any longer by the Ma
tional Symphony members and business
hackers in this period Of high and infla-
tionary costs. So the concerts were
ended. Federal subsidy, as in the case
Of the Service orchestras, isn't the an
swer. An all-weather cover at the Carter
Barron Amphitheater is the answer. An
other point to keep in mind Is that the
money paid for admission to the Ma
tional Symphony concerts remains In
the community and Is spent here, Great
ing jobs and the exchange Of goods and
services. With imported programs all
that remains is the producers fee and
some incidental costs. and the quality
Is often poor.
The observance Of Washington's ses-
quicentennial was basically q wonderful
idea. But the local cultural and music
interests weren't consulted when the
Amphitheater was being planned. Con-
sequently 1t isn't any more suitable or
practical for cultural purposes than the
Watergate.
What is needed in Washington first
Of all is . master plan for the develop
ment of the fine arts, in which all the
local music and cultural interests have
had their say. With such q master
plan developed and readily available,

mood to help us again 1t can help US
