rs Million Crimes

Comparatively speaking, our own
National Capital emerged as something Of
a model city in the FBf's recent crime
report. In Washington, major offenses
were down by respectable and welcome
8 per cent. But for the country as
whole there was a 1873 per cent increase
In major crime-a new all-time high of
more than 2.5 million serious violations.
This is not a statistic which can be
blamed on increasing population, for
since 1850 crime has risen about four
times as fast as population. And, still
worse, the juvenile crime rate is running
wild. In 1856 almost As per cent of the
arrests for major crimes in urban areas
were Of individuals under 18 years of
age. No wonder the FBI fears that by
1858 the American crime rate will be
double that in the years just prior to
World War II.
Our own local improvement in the
crime picture may turn out to have been
OF the fiaSh-in-the-pan variety. But
Police Chief Murray thinks it could have
been due to having more policemen on
duty in the places and during the times
when criminals are most active If this

money. they can defeat Sem
ator Watkins bill S.l213 which
provides for a Department OF
Agriculture financed study of
improved methods for humane
slaughter in the meat packing

This bill Is a smoke screen
which would condone the
present inhumane slaughter
methods while a Government
financed study went about the
pious motions of doing some-
thing constructive.
No study is needed. The
present methods are either
right or wrong.
Representative William A.
Dawson, Utah Republican, has
introduced a compulsory hui

House that goes TO the heart
OF the matter. His bill recog-
nizes the need for providing a
merciful death for the millions

More About q Bad Gamble

In making public the confidential
Bulganin-Eden-Mollet exchange that
took place prior to the Anglo-French
invasion of Egypt, the Kremlin has broken
diplomatic custom in an apparent effort
to enhance Soviet prestige among the
Arab states. The action may also be
viewed as move designed Q) to en-
barrass Britain and France, (2) to keep
anti-Western sentiment afiame in the
Middle East and (3) to counter the ap-
peal Of the so-called Eisenhower doctrine.
Nevertheless, reprehensible and hypo-
critical as this Soviet propaganda ma
neuver may be, publication of the here
tofore secret letters brings to light
historical fact of considerable Importance
namely, that neither the French gov
ernment nor the British government
(then under Prime Minister Eden) had
reason to be surprised or shocked when
the Kremlin, after they had invaded
Egypt, openly threatened to use armed
force against them Thus, on September
IL, seven weeks before the Anglo-French
attack, Premier Bulganin wrote to Mr..
Eden not to try to settle the Suez issue
by military means. And he went on to
say, ''The Soviet Union cannot stand
aside from this question. We wish to
warn you in friendly way as to the
dangers which might follow II necessary
prudence is not shown"
This warning, emphasizing how a
little war in the Middle East could easily
develop into big war, was repeated
couple of weeks later in another of the
Bulganin letters, the last of which was
written on October %. BY that time, of
course, dom-seeking Hungary-which
was soon to be brutally smashed by the
'peace-loving" Soviet Unions overwhelm-
ing armed force-was in the process of
rebellion against Moscow This may have
led the Eden and Mollet governments
to assume that the Kremlin would be
too preoccupied with its own satellite
troubles to be able to do anything but
shout against the Suez action. But If
they really assumed such a thing-an
assumption that would have been risky
in the best Of circumstances-they made
terribly bad gamble, particularly so
because they were also operating behind
the back Of the United States and against
our Governments urgent advice not to
strike militarily against Egypt.
Taken together, these two factors
the Bulganin warnings and our own
country's very severe admonitions-
should have been enough to head of the
ill-fated Suez action. But they were not
enough. The Eden and Mollet govern
ments went ahead anyhow. Certainly
much as we may deplore the Kremlin's
motives in publishing the exchange of
letters, we must admit that the thing
serves to point up the folly Of the Anglo
French decision.

Raw Nerve

In his speech to the Associated Press
the other day, Secretary Of State Dulles
declared that the United States would
continue to wage peace with unremitting
vigor This was his primary theme from
start to. finish-a theme keyed to the
idea that our Nation must persist in its
efforts, patiently and tirelessly, to avert
major warfare and create conditions
aimed at establishing decent and endur-
ing system Of collective security through
out the world.
Yet Mr.. Dulles, despite this express
sion Of good sentiments, has now been
attacked by the men of the Kremlin as
bloodthirsty warmonger. Speaking
through Tass, they have inveighed
against him as "a man who is blind with
hatred against everything progressive"
and they have asserted with strident
inelegance, that it would only be USE
fur If he tears himself apart" Why
such violent language? Why react so
extravagantly to speech calling for
measures to unite our divided world In
a mutually enriching peace?
As far as answers go, one can only
surmise, but as good guess as any is
that the Kremlin has been infuriated
by Mr.. Dulles renewed espousal OF
peaceful evolution toward genuine free
dom not merely in the captive satellite
nations, but also in Russia itself. This
apparently touches upon one Of the raw
est nerves Of the Soviet leaders, and hence
their bowling reaction to 1t. Where there
is so much hurt, there must surely be
very great sensitivity. The phenomenon
is worth noting. To mix metaphors, 1t
has all the earmarks Of a real chink

property Of individuals, ana

indeed, the bulwark Of any
kind Of international law. But
wars are fought for liberty as
well as conquest. There is
just no way Of packaging to-
gether peace. liberty and JUS
tice, short Of the Isaiahan mil
lennium.
The American slogan Of
"self determination for all
nations forth during
World War I and reinvoked by
Secretary Dulles-has not con-
tributed to world law, but to
anarchy. Not every people
who have claimed the right
to be free and self-governing
have been able to demonstrate
the capacity to create a viable
state. The universal applica-
ton Of the principle has re-
suited in endless partitionings,
creation Of new grievances and
hostilities. and opportunities
for the powerful, playing upon
these, to create new empires.
Crusades Don't Win Peace
Politics is always "the art
Of the possible" It is not
principles" underlined because
they cannot be defined-that
create a successful foreign pol
icy. Although Aristotle de-
fined politics as "the art of
discerning what is good for
mankind" he realized that
such discernment is not to be
achieved by calls to a crusade.
1t still remains true that what
is one mans meat is another
mans poison, and that the hu-
man choice Is never between
white and black and good and
evil, but between relatives -.
relatives involving both causes
and consequences. Discern
ment requires the exercise Of
reason and realism and their
application in specific places
and on specific issues.
Peace is not achieved by
crusades but by accommoda-
tions. These may fall short Of
satisfying the principles Of the
accommodations. But they may
nevertheless open the way for
greater justice and more lib
erty. neither of which are the
fruits of cold wars nor Of hot
ones.
From q crusade to liberate
mankind and peacefully at
that-this writer requests to
be included out. The end result
will be that America, preacher
and meddler throughout the
globe, will finally be isolated
as a common nuisance.

to be, and was operated as
part Of the Governments pro-

however. all major carriers are

Aircraft landing fees. space

other rates at modern COM
mercial airports are set at
levels which will guarantee
a profit to the operating au-
thority, and those at the pres
ent National Airport and at
Burke would naturally be set
to insure a continued profit.
For example nearly 10000 DC

landed at Washington Ma
tional last year. paying an
average landing fee Of $3.50
each. Rates for these aircraft
at New York's airports are be-
tween $22.92 and $24.44 each,
or more than three times as
much. II rates at National
we're set at the New York
levels, revenues here would
have been almost $500. 900
greater last year. Similarly.
hangar space rents at As cents
a square foot at National. COM
pared to SIPS at Pittsburgh.
The facts prove that Ma
tional Airport is highly profit
able today and that If both
National and Burke are oper-
ated on a businesslike basis.
they will pay full costs of debt
service. taxes. current opera
tions, and return a handsome
profit to the airport authority
for the benefit Of our COM
munity.
1t has been estimated that
Burke Airport will employ some
1000 people, with an annual
payroll Of $32,500.000. This
payroll would result in tax
benefits to the State. besides
stimulating business and in
dustries.
Fairfax also would receive
considerable tax benefits from
the many employees who
would live in the county, and
the others who would buy
homes there.
Burke Airport is indeed
Fairfax County's finest oppor-
tunity for progress and pros
perity.

The best comment I nave
read on Secretary Dulles
speech before the Associated
Press was that Of the London
Telegraph: "Mr. Dulles wishes
to be at once a pillar of So
ciety and a patron Of revolu-
tion."
It Is always easier to assert
general moral principles than
to deal with current realities.
peace, justice. liberty" are
words Of excellent semantic
content. They are good"
words. whereas, war, aggres-
sive violence, despotism" are
bad-so bad that even aggres-
sors and despots plead self
defense and claim mandates
from the people.
But peace, justice, and lib
erty are not synonyms. Sec
retary Dulles world, in which
(by what process he does not
name) all captive nations will
be free, in which there will be
justice under the "rule Of law"
and both be achieved by
peaceful means" Is visionary.
The American Revolution.
to which Dulles referred Gas
the pattern Of all desirable or
true" revolutions) was not
achieved by peace but by war
and a very cruel war during
which, and posthumously,
many injustices were commit
ted against the liberties Of in
dividual persons.
Law Reflects Conscience
The recent rising in Hun
gary was not an act Of passive
resistance but Of violent fury,
in which Justice" on both
sides was summary and bloody.
Revolt and peace are contra
dictions.
Law" always reflects an
existent state of conscious
ness and conscience. There
can be no world law without
common concepts of law. The
strict Koranic law that gov
erns the people Of the Arabian
desert is entirely different
from the common law of the
northern European peoples and
of America. or the Roman law
of the Latin countries. 1t is
the ancient law of an eye for
an eye and a tooth for a tooth
that makes no allowances for
motive or provocation. Russian
law is not Western law and
never was.
Laws governing the behavior
of nations and the interna-
tional rights Of individuals are
invariably suspended during
war. Allen" property is held
to cover the lawfully acquired
