The Aussies Have 1t

There, is no room for alibis about
the convincing licking that Australia has
given the United States in the Davis Cup
tennis matches The Aussies, who look
upon international tennis as their special
province, put the championship players
on the courts. We could not. With the
exception Of 1854. when our victory was
something Of an upset. the story has been
the same for the past seven years. In
that time whole parade Of new top
notch players has come along to repre-
sent Australia. BY contrast, the top
man on the American team this year was
33-year-old Vic SeixaS-playing in his
sixth Davis Cup challenge round and
never quite on par with Australia's best.
Much has been made Of our own quest
for younger champions, and the tide
may turn our way again eventually. The
prospect Is not bright for the near future,
however, and Australia has proved its
right TO wear its honors proudly.

compromise, 1t is likely that a modified
measure for periodic renewal of permits,
without examination, will be pushed. The
bill for car inspections would provide for
yearly checkups on brakes, tires, horn,
lights and other equipment essential to
safe driving. In addition, the Legislative
Council, after screening many proposals,
will present program Of traffic reforms
that include strengthening Of traffic laws,
provision for scientific tests In drunken
driving cases and compulsory liability
insurance. With Maryland's traffic toll
this year already well past last years
mark Of nearly 500, and still rising, the
1857 Legislature cannot afford to brush
aside the safety program of its advisory
council.

Always the First Cause

AT the current New York meeting of
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science, several savants
have learnedly discussed their theories
about the beginning of life on earth. One
has suggested that everything may have
been started by lightning striking certain
types of gases. Others have agreed upon
the possibility that some strange process
Of this sort may well have set in motion
vast and tremendously complex chemical
reactions that eventually, and willy-nilly.
produced man without the Intervention
OF any supernatural power or intelligence.
Such speculation is not new. of
course, but it is always interesting. And
not the least reason why it is interesting
is that it invariably leaves unanswered
question we must all ask ourselves
whenever we try to plumb the mystery
OF creation. Our scientists can supply
us with impressive dissertations on the
origin OF both our universe and our
selveS-diSSertation on how humanity
has evolved from the primordial swamp
or on how our planetary system is the
fruit of cosmic explosion that occurred
aeons and aeons ago. But then, i'm
pressed as we may be by these and kin
dred ideas, we have only to think a
little more about the matter before we
are filled with wonderment as to how
the beginning itself began. What made
the lightning and the gases II light
ming and gases really brought about
exiStence?.s What existed before they
existed? Nothing? Can something as
marvelously intricate as man and his
world come out of nothing?
We can hardly contemplate these
questions without realizing at the same
time that we are too finite to compre-
hend the infinite. For here we come up
against the eternal, inexplicable mystery
of the First Cause Uncaused-a meta
physical reality overshadowing all physi-
cal reality. This is what makes atheism
seem basically an ignorant and presump-
tuous act Of shallow intellectual pride.
1t is what once led DR.. Robert A. Millikan,
late dean Of American scientists, to de-
clare that "a purely materialistic philos-
ophy is to me the height Of unintelli-
gence. Wise men in all ages have always
seen enough to at least make them
reverent"-and to recognize faith in God
as an act Of reason.

Wilson Anniversary

This is the Tooth anniversary of the
birth Of woodrow Wilson, 28th President
OF the United States and founder of the
League OF Nations. The occasion is a
good one on which to recall Mr.. Wilson'S
pronouncements on the American ideals
OF peace among men and nations. For
the concepts which he espoused and
preached still remain the goals of all
free peoples and the hopes of those who
yet aspire to freedom.
President Wilson's doctrine of the
self-determination of peoples is the COR
nerstone Of democracy. It has timely
application today, for the doctrine in
Spired the fight for liberty which Hun
gary is witnessing now. Mr.. Wilson put
it this way in his memorable address to
Congress, declaring war on Germany:
q. We shall fight for the things
which we have always carried nearest
our hearts; for democracy, for the right
OF those who submit to authority to have
voice in their own governments, for the
rights and liberties of small nations, for
universal dominion of right by such a
concert of free peoples as shall bring
peace and safety to allnationS and make
the world at last free"
Even before World War was ended
he had begun his own fight for a "con-
cert OF free peoples" to insure peace and
liberty for all. The League of Nations
became fact, although his own country
failed to join it. The League, it is true,
did not insure lasting peace But the
idea OF concert Of free peoples" was
born again in the United Nations, dedi-
Gated to the same ideals as the League.
Nor has the U. NJ fulfilled all the
high hopes of its founders. Yet it has,
through concerted action of the sort
envisioned by Woodrow Wilson, achieved
great good for mankind. Thus, the free
world has cause on this centennial of
Mr.. Wilson's birth to remember him with
respect and gratitude.

The Suez SoIvuqinq Job

1t is gratifying that the NaSSer gov
ernment has at last agreed to let the
United Nations start clearing the Suez
Canal. But this marks only beginning.
Even under the best of circumstances,
which must include Cairo'S full co-opera-
ton, months will be required to remove
the dozens of ships Scuttled in the vital
waterway during the Anglo French mill
tary expedition against Egypt. And that
constitutes merely the physical phase of
the problem. Equally important, and In
some ways much more difficult, is the
political salvaging job that must be done.
This is job that will test the good
faith and peaceful intentions Of all par
ties concerned. 1t will require negotia-
tons, under the aegis of the U. NJ, aimed
at establishing a system of firm guaran-
tees insuring that the Suez Canal-once
1t is restored to- normal working order
will be open to the shipping of every
user nation on nondiScriminatory ba-
sis. Stated another way, what must be
worked out is a solemn compact under
which President NaSsers government, or
any succeeding government in Cairo, will
be unequivocally committed to cooperate
with the rest of the world in providing
unimpeded passage through the water
way for oil and other cargoeS that are
OF supreme economic Importance to a
great number of countries in the East as
well as in the West.
Last October, prior to the Anglo
French attack, Egypt assented to the
idea of seeking to formulate such a COM
pact on the basis of "six principles" unan-
imously Endorsed by the U. N. Security
Council. The principles, though couched
In generalized language, still point the
way to an effective compromise settle
ment. Among other things, they affirm
the following: () That the canals short
cut transit facilities should be available
to all nations; (2) that Egypt's Sover-
eighty must be respected; (3) that the
waterway must not be used as political
instrument by any country; and (4) that
disputes and unreSolved questions be-
tween the Cairo government and the
nationalized Universal Suez Canal Com
pany should be submitted to arbitration
through the U. N.
"AVA yAAOoC PAAlSAPACo ~ OuBIII W Uc
possible to fashion satisfactory agree
ment, But the NasSer government, while
not disavowing the principles themselves,
has now indicated through spokesman
that it is not willing to discuss them with
Britain and France, the canals most i'm
portant Western users. AS the Spokes-
man has put it. "We cannot enter negotia-
tions with those who attacked u.s." Thus,
wholly apart from the physical clearance
task, the political effort to find a good
Suez settlements is threatened with rough
going. Yet such a settlement is impera-
tive, and the longer it is delayed the
harder will be the still larger problem of
establishing peace and stability through
the Middle East as whole, where Soviet
penetration continues to be major men,
ace. In Cairo, as much as anywhere else,
this is time for broad-visioned states
manShip on that score.

Maryland Safety Program

The traffic-safety proposals to be
presented to the Maryland Legislature
soon after 1t meets next week are neither
new nor drastic. Most of them already
are helping other States to save lives and
to rid the highways of dangerous or un-
qualified drivers. 1t may come as a sur
prise to motorists in other sections of the
country, therefore, to learn that in Mary
land many of the proposed bills are con-
sidered highly controverSial-so contro-
versial, in fact, that past legislative ses-
sionS have rejected them and the new
session may wrangle over them until some
or all are killed.
Two Of the more important Of the
recommended reforms would require pc
riodic renewal of drivers permits and
inspection Of cars. These are routine
procedures in all the jurisdictions sur
rounding Maryland and in many other
States. In fact, Maryland is the only one
OF the 48 States to give motorists life
time permit to drive. 1t is also among the
States which have Jagged in requiring
regular inspection OF automobiles for
mechanical defects The permanent per-
NIT system has complicated the keeping
OF records to such an extent that 1t often
Is impossible for the motor vehicle ONCE
to trace driver involved in an accident.
Addresses given many years ago long
since may have become obsolete. and
checking on fictitious addresses is
