Two Birds With One Stone

One Of the reasons why the General
Services Administration supported the Fed
eral Lease-Purchase Act was that the law
would help pave the way for elimination
of the temporary buildings on the Mall The
act, passed at the last session of Congress,
authorizes GSA to build or buy Office struc-
lures on the "inStalment plan" The legiSla-
ton fits into the Southwest redevelopment
program almost as though made to order.
It is not surprising that GSA is attracted
by the opportunity to kill two birds with one
stone, namely, provide the Federal estab-
hShment with more new buildings in Wash
ington and rid the city of "tempos" left over
from two world wars.
There had been some uncertainty at
first as to the possibility of using the new
deferred d-payment system to build more
Government Offices in this area, but the
Office of Defense Mobilization has dispelled
the fog. Defense Mobilizer Flemming an
nounced several months ago that the over
all decentralization program would not
prevent construction in the Southwest Sec
ton of some Federal buildings. Only de-
partments and agencies engaged in work
not essential to defense in time Of war will
be permitted to have new homes in the
rebuilt community along the water front.
Such a restriction, however, should not
preclude the creation of sufficient additional
Office space in the Southwest to enable GSA
to achieve the demolition of the unsightly
tempos.
Without Federal participation in the
Southwest redevelopment project the fine
plans for a general face-lifting Of the area
south of the Mall would be seriously i'm
periled. The firm of Webb & Knapp, which
is working on detailed plans for the under
taking, has said it would not be interested
in the program unless Government buildings
were included. Congress failed to pass the
Auchincloss bill, which would have liberal
ized the purchase idea to At the
Southwest plan more completely. But GSA
is said to favor amending the Lease-Pur-
chase Act at the coming session to ac-
complish a similar purpose. The outlook is
bright, therefore, for two major improve
ments in the near future: First, Federal
construction program in the blighted South
west and, second, removal of the old struc-
lures along the Mall The whole community
will welcome these salutary changes.

Never Liked Kennels

It should be pointed out that those
who tried to gain q political advantage
from what Secretary Wilson said UNDER
estimated the intelligence of voters. NO
sensible person would be offended by
the comparison Of dogs: but Democrats
hoped and Republicans feared that
many electors would not be sensible.
Nothing but fear Of losing votes justified
an apology for the figurative expression
Of preference for thrift and industry
to dependence and idleness. Now q
defense Of that position instead Of an
apology is needed.
Many people do not yet realize that
a revolution, sharp turn to the left,
took place in this country about 20
years ago. Previously, President Grover
Cleveland's views had prevailed: "The
Government should not support the
people. but the people must support the
Government" AS late as 1928. candi-
date Herbert Hoover said that the
function of the Government was to
make and enforce rules to regulate the
competition among citizens. Life was
race in which each runner must depend
on his own strength and ambition. No
one should expect q free ride on a
| Government bus.
But in 1888 politicians discovered
that more votes could be gotten by the
argument: What is the Government
for If not to help support the people?"
Billions of borrowed dollars were spent
to shower the people with Government
checks: and the people liked it, They
reelected the politicians again and
again and again. Thus we were trans
formed from Nation of bird dogs to
one Of kennel dogs. But most Of us who
had lived the free life before the revo-
luton have never learned to like the
kennel; and we resent making any apol-
ogy for our attitude.
Nearly half of those who are now
adults were too young before the revo-
luton to understand the freedom and
independence we then enjoyed. So now
they do not miss what they never knew
they had. But they should be warned
that they can't have social security,
unemployment compensation, and job
insurance without paying for them in
taxes and RECOMMENDATION. 1t might be
pleasant to be fed and sheltered in the
kennel. but don't forget the collar. har-
ness, leash. and high strong fence.
Let us trust that we have not reached
such an advanced stage of degeneracy
that a Government official must apol-
ogize for advocating industry and eco
nomic independence in preference to
sloth and pauperism.

ments friendly to us. These are not
enough. Preparedness sometimes leads
to war instead of peace; alliances come
and go; cabinets rise and fall. We
need method for achieving peace
that is more far-reaching, more effec-
tive and more permanent.
In his speech to the American Bar
Association, Secretary Dulles stated
broader aim-the strengthening of the
machinery of the u. N. That is more
difficult task, in some ways, than man
ufacturing new kind of gun. But it
is worth the effort. because it would
be more permanent achievement, a
really long step toward secure peace,
and an end TO the crushing burden OF
armament we now bear.

HH' Days in Paris

It is understandable that Secretary Of
State Dulles has declined to discuss "thiS
optimism business" in advance Of his latest
endeavors abroad-this time in Paris. For
the meetings scheduled to be held there
between now and the end Of the week in
volve too many big offs" for sound and solid
predictions, roSeate or otherwise.
In effect, the prime purpose of these
new talks is to work out final detailed
agreements-which must then be submitted
for parliamentary ratihcation-to efectu-
ate the generalized nine-power London ac-
cord on rearming the West Germans as
equal and sovereign partners in the Brus-
sells pact and the overall North Atlantic
Treaty Organization. And good measure
of the complexity of all this is the variety
of meetings now under way in Paris.
Thus, to begin with, Premier Mendes
France and Chancellor Adenaur are holding
separate talks in an effort to work out an
acceptable Franco German understanding
on the Saar-an understanding regarded as
essential If the National Assembly in Paris
is to ratify the London accord In its spelled
out form. Moreover, simultaneously, DR..
Adenauer will take part In Anglo-French-
American discussions aimed at arriving at
a final agreement to end the occupation OF
West Germany and grant it sovereignty.
In addition, and more important, this
busy week in Paris will involve meetings at
which the nine London signatories (Bel-
gium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Italy,
West Germany, France, Britain, Canada
and the United States) will strive to agree
on the specific arrangements that must be
presented for ratification before the free
Germans can contribute to the common de-
fense of the Atlantic community. Further,
and finally, there will be a session Of the
14-nation NATO Council to work out pro-
tocol admitting the latter into the alliance.
A mere listing of these meetings is
enough to show how it is possible for serious
snags to develop. Certainly, although the
outlook seems reasonably bright for all
around agreement and eventual ratification,
such things as the capricious history Of the
French National Assembly, coupled with Mr..
Mendes-France's stubborn bargaining quail
ities, strongly suggest that effectuation Of
the London accord is by no means in the bag.
