These people take refuge in the pat and
chauyinistic slogans because they are
incapable Of understanding any others,
because these slogans are safer from
the standpoint of short-term gain, be-
cause the truth is sometimes a poor
competitor in the marketplace of ideas
complicated, unSatisfying, full Of di-
lemmas always vulnerable to misinter-
pretation and abuse. The counSels of
impatience and hatred can always be
supported by the crudest and cheapest
symbols; for the counSelS Of moderation,
the reasons are often intricate, rather
than emotional, and difficult to explain.
"And SO the chauvinists Of all times
and places go their appointed way;
plucking the easy fruits, reaping the
little triumphs of the day at the ex-
pense of some one else tomorrow, del
uging in noise and filth any one who gets
in their way, dancing their reckless
dance on the prospects for human prog
ress, drawing the shadow of a great
doubt over the validity Of democratic
institutions. And until people learn to
spot the tanning of mass emotions and
the sowing of bitterness, suspicion and
intolerance as crimes in themselves-as
perhaps the greatest disservice that can
be done to the cause of popular govern
ment---this sort Of thing will continue

Tonaue-Tied Linquists

The misinterpretation of the French
verb, "demander," which happened dur
ing the recent visit of General JUN,
emphasizes the Importance of adequate
foreign language background in inter-
national relations.
We are, generally speaking, extremely
poor linguists due, in part, to the poor
foreign language teaching in our schools
and colleges. Now, that We assume the
worlds leadership, we urgently need
competent linguists. We have some in
our country but often Government
agencies discriminate against foreign
born citizens who usually possess more
language ability.
The situation is illustrated by the
Associated Press report from Germany
during the Nuremberg trials:
Thirteen new translators just arrived
from the United States at government
expense and were given the standard
test by the United States War Crimes
Prosecution staff. AL failed.
"'Well, it was a nice trip, anyhow
one of the 13 said today"
At that time. there were competent
linguists on the Civil Service list who
had obtained high examination marks
but were given no consideration.

Jungle Of Politics

Herewith is passage from George
F. Remnants American Diplomacy
1900-1950, which I think describes in a
mastery way the political climate we
live in today:
There are certain sad appreciations
we have to come to about human nature
on the basis of the experiences of these
recent wars. One of them is that suffer-
ing does hot always make men better.
Another is that people are not always
more reasonable than governments; that
public opinion, or what passes for
public opinion, is not invariably a mod
Grating force in the jungle of politics.
It may be true, and suspect it is, that
the mass of people everywhere are nor
mally peace-loving and would accept
many restraints and sacrifices in prefer
ence to the monstrouS calamities of war.
''But also suspect that what purports
to be public opinion in most countries
is not often the consensus of the feel
ings of the mass of people at all but
rather the expression of the interests
of special highly vocal minoritieS-poli-
ticians. commentators and publicity
seekers of all sorts: people who live by

accusing consciousness now in America
the beautiful, as we look out upon many
Of our broad streams, or gaze down at
the swift currents from some point Of
vantage along spanning bridge: Our
waters are tainted.
The biblical story declares that the
prophet healed the poisoned waters by
casting salt into the spring. In that
incident is mirrored a fundamental
service of salt. Were 1t not for the
salty ocean the pollution of our rivers
would soon turn them into dead seas.
One authority has declared: "If the sea
were to lose its SaltneSS, the earth
would soon become uninhabitable. The
salt sea receives the tainted waters and
by its magic alchemy, they are sweet
ened and cleansed. That is not only
a saving fact regarding the earth. It
is parable about life on the earth.
A river is the symbol Of all the
beautifying, satisfying, fertilizing forces
that enrich human life as they pour
themselves through all its relationships.
Yet there Is not a stream that flows
through the land Of mans dreams, de-
sires, activities. expressions and aSpira-
tionS which cannot become poisoned and
polluted. That is true Of the river Of
music, Of literature, Of art, Of sport, Of
government and even of religion. Music

There isa fly in the ointment Of this

IndustrialiSm has its price. Factories

Best of Luck

If Newbold Morris is not the worlds foremost
investigator he is certainly brave man. Other
wise, he would never have undertaken the
thankless job of investigating the scandals
real and alleged-in the Truman administration
He comes to the job with reputation which
inspires respect. A liberal Republican, Tam
many opponent and former head of the New
York City Council, Mr.. Morris knows his way
around in the political jungles of New York, and
they do not differ greatly from the poMical
iungles of Washington.
The President and Attorney General Nc
Grath have pledged him free hand and their
full support This has evoked some knowing
looks from the skeptcs but it is not at all likely
that Mr. Morris would have undertaken the
assignment or that he will stay with it, unless
he is to be a free agent.
How he will make out with Congress Is
another question. One House committee Is
preparing its own investigation of the Justice
Department and has announced that 1t VIII be
pressed with vigor Another House committee Is
still poking into the dark closets of the Bureau
of Internal Revenue. And Mr. Morris himself
may be called before a Senate committee that
Is looking into certain ship deals
These collateral activities will not necessarily
hamper the Morris Investigation. But they won't
help any. Mr. Morris should be wished the best
of luck by all Of us. He is going to need 1t.

Three Worst Books?
Bv Bruce Borton

Question by q reader: I'm their In
fluence on American life, which would
you say are the three worst books?"
Answer:
Cd Uncle Toms Cabin" Fashioned
largely out Of the stories Of fugitive
slaves whom the author met as girl
in Cincinnati, this novel painted lurid
but one sided picture Of slavery. 1t Great
ed bitter resentment in the South, and
kindled in the North q prairie fire OF
horror and hate. 1t was. says the Ency-
clopaedia Britannica. one Of the moving
causes of the Civil War;"
The tragedy is that slavery even then
(1852) was becoming economically un-
profitable and, in q comparatively short
But the ''idealists' on both sides of the
MaSon-Dixon Line could not wait for the
slow processes Of time. They had to
have war.
(2) 1.-The Influence Of Sea Power Upon
History" Though written by an Ameri-
can and first published over here, this
book by Rear Admiral Alfred Thayer
Mahan received its earliest and most
enthusiastic plaudits in England. It con-
firrned the English in their determine
tion to build and maintain fleet that
could boss the world.
After that, the naval ornaments race

ed off by Wendell Willkie following his
hop-skip- land Jump flight around the
globe. 1t can be summarized as follows.
cairo: Things are very bad here. The

Bombay: Serious problems here. The

The term lone world is fallacy.

Magic Traffic Belt

II one-fourth Of the trafic in downtown
Washington could be eliminated by some sort
Of magic, the relief afforded the citys trafac
Ills in the congested business district would be
instantly noticeable That 1t is possible to work
such miracle without magic is the contention
OF proponents Of the toolittle understood inner
belt highway project. The trafic-fiow studies
made by the Regional Highway Planning Com
mittee support this contention.
Origin destination checks by the traffic
survey stan have revealed the important fact
that approximately 122500 trips are made
through the downtown section every "a hours
by vehicles which have no business there. The
drivers in this group do not want to enter the
eongested district, but are forced to do so in
order to reach their destinations on the other
side of the city. Their removal from the traffic
maelstrom in the heart of the city would benefit
business by making more room for shoppers and
employees who need to 60 downtown.
The survey indicated that if some way
could be found to bypass all through traffic
around the business section, Is per cent re-
duction in the traffic load in the citys core
would result The inner belt or loop around the
fringe Of the congested area was the answer
proposed by the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission in its master plan and
advocated in expanded form by the regional
committee. An ideal loop of course, would be
q broad freeway, with access limited to certain
main intersections. Traffic in this way could
be diverted expeditiousy around the retail area
1t was estimated, however, that such a freeway
would cost more than $125 million-a prohibitive
sum.
As compromise the committee has recon-
mended cheaper substitute, embodying the
use of existing streets, suitably widened, chan
nelized and controlled. The streets involved
have been described in detail in news stories
The undertaking would cost about $21 Million
This is sizeable sum, but it must be measured
against the benefits it would produce in divert
ing traffic away from the CONSTRUCTED business
core. Viewed from that angle it looks like
worthwhile investment.
