I'VE are opposed to con-

gesture. it should be the con-
scription of wealth. There is
no need for CONSUMPTION so
far as men are concerned. The
navy and the air force are up
to strength and there are no

1t was this state Of affairs
which caused Sir muel
Hoare. Home Secretary until
1889 and later a member of
the war cabinet, to write in
retrospect:
THE truth was forced upon
us that until the people were
faced with the stark dangers
of actual war, it was i'm
possible to introduce war
methods of production and or
ganization, and to form a ma
tional government for a single

These same comments could
be written today about the
divided Government in the
United States. One party con-

party controls the White

DAVID LAWRENCE

These are dangerous times
In the world. The news dis
patches read strangely like
those that appeared just a few
months before World War II
broke out.
There are the same sinister
moves by aggressor govern
ments.
There is the same reckless
partisanship inside the ma
tional legislatures of the de-
mocracies, thus encouraging
the aggressor government to
think that peace-at-any-price
is the underlying policy Of all
political parties in America.
France and Britain.
There is the same duplicity
behind the scenes as the ag-
gressor builds up armament
while piously proclaiming
peaceful motives.
There is the same cry that
the democracies are unpre-
pared militarily and that they
are sacrificing guns for but
ter, even as the plaintive call
comes for more air power to
match the enemy's growing
strength.
Perhaps the foregoing will
strike a note of "reminiscences
to Sir Anthony Eden, Eng
lands Prime Minister. who
this week confers here with
President Eisenhower. For the
famous British diplomat played
a conspicuous role in the pre-
war years and saw the gather
ing storm from the inside Of
the Chamberlain government
before he resigned dramatic
ally as Foreign Secretary in
February. 1888. Ahead lay the
appeasement Of Munich in
September, 1898, and then all
out war in September, 1889.
Few men have had such an
intimate experience with the
chicanery of totalitarianism,
particularly the Russian ma
neuvers and tricks. as has
Anthony Eden. Few in par
liamentary life know so well
how foreign policy can be made
a football of politics to the
detriment of a nation.
Many Americans probably
have forgotten that as late as
six months before the war
broke out Prime Minister
Chamberlain, already dis
illusioned about the empty
promises given by Hitler at
Munich, proposed that a draft
law be passed but was met by
the bitter opposition of Glenn
ent Attlee and the Socialist
Labor Party. Mr.. Attlee on

Soviet Forging Weapons Of Brains
As Americans Lag in Science Study

What we call cold war" and
the Russians call "co-exist-
ence" Is going to last for a
long time. 1t is a struggle,
waged from positions of mill
tary strength on both sides
with the paradoxical under
standing that military weapons
will not be used. The weapons
are. instead, a factor con-
tributing to the political
strength and influence of each
Of the rivals. The real con-
fiict is the political. economic
and theological struggle Of
each to expand its global in
huence at the cost Of the
other.
One factor in this struggle.
Is industrial and chronological
capacity. Here the West Is in
the lead, but the Soviets are
catching up, with the firm in
tention to equal and surpass
the United States within q
decade or so.
In this competition con-
ceivably the primary factor is
education. And here there is
genuine cause for American
alarm.
Previously I have described
Russian secondary education
with its enormous disciplines.
Not long ago Admiral Lewis
L. Strauss. chairman of the
Atomic Energy Commission,
and others concerned with
American chronological prog
ress again revealed the def
cts Of American education.
We are seriously short OF stu
dents trained in science and
engineering. The reason lies

Dual Taxation

In the April IS Star there
appeared some of Commits
sioner Spencer's reflections"
after five days out of Office.
The article states that Mr..
Spencer declared: Efforts
should be made to work out
some division of local income
taxes between the District
and the neighboring States of
Maryland and Virginia"
Mr.. Spencer is entirely
wrong when he adds that
persons who work in one
jurisdiction and live in an
other use the facilities of both.
but pay taxes only to one"
Although our family lives in
the District, my husband is
employed at the National In
stitutes of Health in Bethes-
Ga. Md. He pays both D. c..
income tax and Maryland in
come tax. I understand this
regulation also applies to Dis
tYict residents who work for
private industries located just
across the District-Maryland
line.
1t seems incredible that one
of our Commissioners would
not know that this condition
exists. Discouraging, isn't it?

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Has NATO OutIived Its Usefulness?

to her pledges under the Paris
agreements.
Without the 100000 Ger
mans on which the SHAPE
high command has been reck-
oning for so many years. the
West European branch Of
NATO will become a mere
skeleton incapable of fulfilling
the task for which it was
created seven years ago at
considerable expense to the
American taxpayers.
There was never much en-
thusiasm for NATO in West
ern Europe anyhow. But since
the Kremlin men have recently
made such skillful moves for
peace Tin their meaning of the
word) the last shreds of inter-
est in. that military organiza-
ton have completely faded
away. West European members
OF the NATO are repeating
parrotlike that peace and
security for their continent
depend exclusively on close
economic. political and cul-
tural relations with the USSR
and its satellites.
And the few who take the
trouble to read the fine print
in the Soviet friendly pro-
posals don't dare speak about
it lest they be ranked with
the American warmongers."
