Embassies and Zonino

The District Commissioners have
made 1t plain in special order that
they expect foreign diplomats to COM
ply with local coming and building
regulations In embassy construction. In
the past there has been a tendency in
embassy circles to disregard completely
the citys rules for controlling the de-
velopment Of Washington and insuring
public safety. The general assumption
seems to have been that the District
had no interest in what foreign nations
did In the field Of new construction here.
That assumption was wrong. The new
order serves notice that hereafter it will
be quite undiplomatic to ignore coming
and building laws.
OF course, II any foreign diplomatic
mission should be discourteous enough
to continue to nout the regulations.
there does not seem to be much that
the Commissioners can do about It, ex-
cept protest. The State Department has
promised to convey such protests In the
event any become necessary. It is hard
to believe, however, that any Of the
foreign enissarieS would violate such
reasonable regulations, since they are
designed for their protection as well as
that Of the general public. Had the city
made It's position clear in the past, the
probability Is that much Of the noncom-
pliance could have been averted.

II IS encouraging that the leaders OF
the recent coup in Thailand have chosen
Pote sarasin to serve as temporary sue
cessor to the busted Premier Pibulsonr-
gram. For the choice tends to confirm
the earlier assurances Of Field Marshal
Sarit, the coup's chief architect, that
Bangkok intends to adhere firmly to its
pro-Western foreign policy and its char
Ter membership in the Southeast Asia
Treaty Organization.
Educated in the United States and
England, Mr.. Sarasin, besides having
distinguished himself in the private
practice Of law, has been one of his
country's key figures in both domestic
ana international affairs. Among his
other services in that respect, he has
been Thailand's Foreign Minister. and
also, until recently, It's Ambassador to
Washington. In addition, he has been
SEATO's Secretary General, a position
from which he has Just resigned in
order to concentrate on his duties as
acting. Premier. He will serve In that
capacity until q new government is
formed on the basis of the national
elections scheduled to be held within
the next three months, at which time
ne may well be asked to carry on with
his present responsibilities.
Regardless of what his future NAV
hold, however, Mr.. Sarasin is unuues-
tionably leader who subscribes to the
essentials Of his predecessors strongly
pro-Western, anti-Communist policies.
Accordingly, 1t is good news that the
coup's leaders have singled him out to
head Thailand's interim government.

Common Peril

Seldom have representatives Of so
many nations, gathered at one time in
one place, had such a common con-
Germ as do those attending the twelfth
annual meeting of the World Bank
and international Monetary Fund in
Washington this week. Their primary
concern, in brief, is Neutrality-suspicious.

tensity within individual countries, but
SO widespread in one degree or another
that the economic stability of the entire
free world is threatened. Among some

example-an accompanying problem has

and dollar reserves as West Germany
and the United States, in particular.
have widened the spread of their ex-
ports over imports. Financial leaders
OF more than so countries are present,
but the variance in national interests
and conditions is such that no uniform
policy seems either likely or practicable.
In fact, actions taken within the
past fortnight indicate the preference
for unilateral policies rather than any
joint effort at overhauling currency val
ues. Britain, for example, has made it
clear 1t has no intention to devalue the
pound sterling and it has taken ortho-
dox steps to combat imitation. One was
to increase the official interest rate
from 5 to z per cent, the highest since
1920. Another was to curtail govern
ment investment, and third to restrict
bank advances to private borrowers.
West Germany, unwilling to up-value
its DeutSchemark, has taken a poten-
tally helpful step in lowering its official
interest rate from AZ to 4 per cent
which may tend to slow the now of for
eign capital into that country. France,
on the other hand, has in part devalued
its franc as a move to discourage i'm
ports and stimulate exports.
1t will take time, of course, to meas
ure the impact Of these steps and there
Is a possibility that the discussions here
may provide q groundwork for later
actions II considered essential. Both
President Eisenhower and Secretary of
Treasury Anderson were uneQuivocal in

Is not an exaggeration TO say that
many difncult and troublesome deci-
sions" must yet be made, but there
should be some benefit from thorough
exploration Of the Infinitely complex
problem by those with the responsibility
and authority to deal with it in the
coming months.

Hartford and Tuopse

Nobody lives in Hartford and Tuapse
but people. In Hartford, they are Amer
leans. In Tuapse, they are Russians.
Judging by some of the words written
and spoken in recent years, this would
mean they are quite different-perhaps
all good in one place, perhaps all bad
In the other, or vice versa. One sus-
poets, however, that they are not so
different, and a pair of weekend news
stories tends to support this conclusion.
At least, under the stimulus of war dis
aster alarms" the people of the two
communities behaved very much alike
preparing to evacuate their homes and
nee somewhere, or anywhere, to safety.
In Hartford, it was television Aim
on civil defense-showing what would
happen in case Of an attack" -announc-
ing unidentified planes approaching and
showing Nike missile launchings and in
terceptor plane takeoffs. Newspaper and
police switchboards we're flooded with
calls, many wanting to know "the quick
est way out Of town." In Tuapse, 1t was
a newspaper serial about capitalist
controlled flaming moon" that was
about to destroy the world. Thapse
residents began selling their homes and
livestock, at bargain prices, presumably
before seeking some other shelter-per-
haps out Of this world.
Realistic, but fake, alarms have
panicked people before. In the Hartford
case, the television station announced
the nature Of the program in advance
but presumably those frightened did not
see the beginning Of the show. Horror
stories, such as the Tuapse serial, also
have disturbed people, In these days

SeK-Defense

A letter from former War
Secretary Patrick J. Hurley.
referring to my article in The
Star dealing with the 1892
Bonus Riots" protests that
his order directing Gen. Mac
Arthur TO intervene with
troops was not quoted in
the story. This was due to
space limitations.
Mr.. Hurley was mistaken,
however. in saying there was
no mention in the story Of
the two bonus marchers who
we're "mortally wounded" be-
fore the Army was called in.
Indeed these casualties. plus
the fact that other veterans
were injured. made 1t appear
that the bonus marchers
needed reinforcing more than
the police.

Appeal to Force

Repugnant though the prospect is,
the rioting in Little Rock leaves the
President with but one choice-to meet
force with force. For Mr.. Eisenhower,
sworn to uphold the Constitution, can
not bow to the dictates Of mob rule.
That would be the road to anarchy, and
the mob in Little Rock, having appealed
to force, must be made to realize that
the inevitable response will be to invoke
superior force.
We fully share the Presidents hope
that "the American sense of justice and
fair play viii prevail in this case" and
that 1t will not become necessary for
Federal power to be brought to bear in
Arkansas. But Mr.. EiSenhower's pledge
Is clear and flrm-"T will use the full
power Of the United States-including
whatever force may be neceSsary-to
prevent any obstruction of the law and
TO carry out the orders of the Federal
court" The mob, as is the way of mobs,
may be unmoved by this warning. But
surely its import cannot be lost on the
sensible people Of Arkansas. The re-
sponsibility for what comes next rests,
really, with Governor Faubus. He has
the means. If he will use them, to control
. mob Of 1000 or of 5000 people. IT Is
his duty and his obligation as Governor
to exercise this control through the
proper use Of the National Guard. II
he win not do this, then he will be in
no position to complain when the Fed
eral authorities move into Arkansas and
assume the policing responsibilities
themselves.
The situation in Little Rock Is not
one, however, which can properly be
viewed simply in terms of force and
counter force. If it becomes necessary.
force can and surely VIII be used to
compel obedience to the COURTS decree.
There is, relatively speaking, no real
problem in that connection.
But what happens to public educa-
ton In the process? The Supreme
Courts desegregation ruling, to be put
into effect with all deliberate speed"
was designed, as the judges said, to
equaliZe educational opportunities by
doing away, in time, with segregated
schools. 1t was not designed to convert
the schools into backgrounds. Yet this
Is what has happened IN Little Rock,
and it is what may happen in other
communities in the South If indignation
Is pushed too fast and too hard. This
Is not valid argument against the use
Of force, when force becomes necessary,
to uphold the law. There Is no available
alternative. The tragic part Of the bust
ness, which the President has realized
all along, Is that the use Of force, while
1t may subdue hysterical mob, builds
In the minds Of the people a burning
Fesentment-not so much against force,
but against a condition which made
force necessary. And If indignation in
the South is to be brought about by the
use Of force, where is the victory?

THE POLITICAL MILL
By GOULD LINCOLN
Southerner in White House Unlikely

Gov. Orval Faubus Of
Arkansas has pretty well
answered the question laid
before the Conference of
Southern Governors this
week: Can a Southerner be
elected President?" Due to
the activities of the Arkan-
sas Democratic Governor, so
far as 1860 is concerned. the
answer is mo"
It will be q hundred years
in 1860 since a Southerner
was nominated for President
by a major political party.
There has been no Repub-
lican presidential possibility
in the South. The Democratic
Party has never had the
courage to nominate a
Southerner though the
South has produced many
able and brilliant men who.
If elected, undoubtedly would
have made good Presidents.
A few weeks ago, 1t looked
as though the picture might
have changed. Senator Lynn
don johnson Of Texas, ma
jority leader Of the Senate.
was being widely advertised
as q potential nominee for
President three years hence.
During the recent session Of
Congress, the Texas Senator
had done more to draw the
two wings North and SOUTH
Of the Democratic Party to-
gether than anyone for
more than a decade. He had
succeeded in getting the
Southern Democrats in the
Senate to permit a civil
rights bill to pass the Senate
without a filibuster-except
for a one-man filibuster by
Senator Thurmond of South
Carolina. Indeed, four Of the
Southern Senators, including
johnson himself, voted for
the bill. Johnson doomed as
q moderate" who could be
acceptable to both wings OF
his party.
Discussed Moot Question
The Southern Governors
went to their conference at
Sea Island, Ga. ready to dis
cuss the question: Can q
Southerner be elected Presi-
dent?" 1t had been placed
on their agenda some time
before Gov. Faubus called
out his National Guard to
preserve the peace" in Little
Rock and told them not to
allow nine Negro children
to enter the Central High
School to which they had
been assigned by the city's
school board. And the South
ern Governors discussed the
presidential question, despite
the fact they realized that
Faubus had made 1t a moot
question.
Gov. Faubus. when he kept
the Negro children out Of
the Little Rock Central High
School, let loose the wrath
Of his Northern Democratic
brethren. His action was
denounced by Democratic
National Chairman Paul M.
Butler. by former President
Truman, by Adlai Stevenson
and BY Cows. Williams Of
Michigan and Hartman Of
New York and by Negro
leaders all over the country.

home ice cream making was
done with the last of the

There are many persons

whether that was due to
the method or the compare

one can say.

was called?
Now we get ice cream in

make out it tastes as good
but 1t doesn't. Nothing does,
as a matter Of fact.
And We still are faced with
the same old question:
