Jewish Tercentenory Celebration

g The celebration of the 300th anniver-
Sary Of the first Jewish settlement within
the present borders Of the United States is
starting today and will continue until May
29. It is an occasion and an event of sig
niflcance for the entire national commu-
nifty. The service of Americans of Jewish
ancestry has been rendered to classes. No
city or town, no industry, no cultural inSti
tuition, no ethical establishment under the
American flag has failed to benefit from the
contributions Of Jewish citizens. The ter
centenary Of the coming Of Jacob Barsim-
son to New Amsterdam provides an appro-
pirate opportunity for recognition Of this
fact.
Granted that the Jews are minority,
representing merely 3 per cent of the total
population Of the United States, and
granted also that they have been handi-
capped all too often by conditions limiting
their constructive activity, they neverthe-
less have been-and definitely area ma
tional asset Of exceptional value. The cele-
bration now beginning will emphasize the
achievements Of the past, in religious cere-
monieSe civil assemblies, exhibitions, lee
lures, concerts, radio and television pro-
grams, movies, newspaper and magazine
features and other enterprises arranged
under the direction of committee of 800
Jewish leaders. But history is merely a
prologue The progress of the three CEN
turies since 1854 is sure to be matched, If
not exceeded by the accomplishments of
the reasonably discernible future. And not
Jews alone nor gentiles alone will be the
builders Of tomorrow Both groups already
are pledged to the work to be done, and that
work is destined to be in harmony with the
Judaic- Christian tradition to which all
Americans owe grateful allegiance and gen
erous service. Here certainly is the prin-
ciple Of cooperation and mutuality which
the whole united Nation requires If it is to
survive the trials and troubles of this cur
rent "age of confusion"

Refreshing Contrast

It is worth special note that Washing
tons declining crime record during the past
fiscal year was achieved at time of gem
orally rising lawlessness elsewhere. What
Is so gratifying about this contrast is the
fact that only few years ago the Nations
Capital was receiving unWe1come national
publicity as haven for criminals of all
sorts. One magazine article described our
city as place where it was unsafe for law
abiding citizens to venture on the streets at
night, lest they be "yoked" and robbed.
There was altogether too much truth in the
dismal picture Of lax law enforcement at
the seat of Government.
Since then there have been marked
changes in the reinforcement field here.
A reorganized and revitalized police force
has put many thugs, racketeers and other
violators behind bars and has driven others
out OF the city. Prosecutors and judges in
most cases have shown commendable de-
termination to support the police in their
stepped-up war on crime. And Congress
has done its part by approving new laws to
make the city more unpleasant for GRIM
inal elements and by granting more money
for police work.
The results are shown in Police Chief
Murray's annual report for the fiscal period
which ended on June 80. The number of
major crimes dropped Is per cent here, yet
the national total rose pei. cent. It is a
novel and refreshing experience to have our
city singled out as an object lesson in eff
fective law enforcement. s.sss

Quenoy and Forn,oso

There Is more than little reason to
doubt that the National Security Council,
at its Denver meeting called by President
Eisenhower, will decide In favor Of having
the United States 7th Fleet intervene di-
rectly II the Chinese Communists attempt
to invade and seize Quemoy Island.
Actually, although the fact seems to have
been overlooked IN recent days, this ques-
tion has been dealt with before by our Cow
ernment during the latter part Of July,
1850. AT that time, only month after the
outbreak OF the Korean war, Peiping's Red
forces were menacing Quemoy Just as they
are now doing, and the State Department
rejecting the views Of the Joint Chiefs OF
Staff and the NSC as then constituted
made clear that the 7th Fleet would not
resort to Intervention in the even6 of Com
munist drive to take the island
Perhaps the NSC is disposed today. to
think differently about the matter, but the
chances appear to be otherwise. This is so
for several reasons not the least Of them
being that Quemoy still seems as 1t did In
July, 1950--to be much less than essential
to the effective execution of the 7th Fleets
standing orders (reafirmed recently by
both the President and MIR. Dulles) to take
whatever action may be necessary to break
up any attempt by the Chinese Communists
to invade FormoSa. These orders also apply
to certain neighboring islands on Formosa's
near approaches notably the Pescadores.
But Quemoy, regardless Of what It's
propaganda value may be, is at best place
Of very limited Importance In relation to
Formosa's defense. After all, the island
located just on the port of Annoy on the
southeast coast Of China-is hardly more
than q stones throw from the Communist
mainland, and II the Nationalist forces Of
Chang Kai-shek cannot hold it (they held
it against Red assault in October, 1949,
and against the abortive 1850 threat, its
loss very probably would be thing Of minor
consequence in a strictly military sense
too minor to warrant the risks Of preventive
Intervention by the 7th Fleet.
At any rate, even if they succeed one Of
these days in seizing this little island, the
Communists still will be.as far as ever from
what they seek For between Quemoy and
Formosa, as between Formosa and the
Chinese mainland, are 100 miles Of danger
Gus sea. Further, wholly apart from that
big water barrier, and wholly apart from
the fact that they do not seem to have
nearly enough equipment for major am
phibious undertaking, the Peiping Reds
must reckon not only with Chiang's formi-
dable Formosan forces but also with the
might Of great American fleet committed
to block their advance.
Accordingly, since Quemoy's possession
thus could be of scant military help to the
Chinese Communists, the island would seem
to be basically non-essential to Formosa's
safety. And for that reason-among others
the likelihood is that the 7th Fleet, now
as in 1885, will hold its main force aloof
from whatever Peiping may try to do there.
