Peace in the Galleries

If the Irish Sea has strangely un-
familiar calm over it these days, the
credit should go to the Solomon-like
wisdom of three patrons of the arts and
the benevolent encouragement of two
governments.
For A years past there have been Ill
winds blowing between London and
Dublin over will which became effec-
tive with the sinking Of the Lusitania in
May, 1915. BY its original terms, dated in
1918, this document gave to the London
gallery the collection of French impress
SioniSt paintings owned by Sir Hugh
Lane, noted Irish art collector and dealer
who went down with the Lusitania. BY
1915 codicil, however, the bequeSt was
shifted to the Dublin gallery-except for
the unfortunate oversight of Sir Hugh'S
failure to have the codicil witnessed. In
the years between, the paintings, now
valued to $24 million, remained in
London-to the evaporation Of Dublin.
The committee of three, represent
ing the two top galleries and Britaip'S
National Bank, Ltd, has found solu-
tion-to split the collection, with parts
of it being displayed alternately in five
year periods in the two galleries. AL
though limited to 20-year life, it is, it
seems, a simple answer. London and
Dublin should be the better for it. We
hope the spirit Of Sir Hugh, whose
changes of mind reflected restless
annoyance with both galleries, will like
wise be. at peace.

HystericoI Rhetoric

Secretary of Labor Mitchell ranged
far and eloquently in his address on
++Man's Communication to Man." first
Of the Alexander Graham Bell lecture
series at Boston University. But in no
part Of this scholarly discussion of a
subject vitally important to our times
was he more correct than in his treat
ment of subject close to his own area
of responsibility-the relationship be-
tween labor and management.
j, The timing, for this purpose, could
not have been better chosen. For the
American economy is in state Of shock
today as the aftermath Of labor-man-
agement deadlock in the steel industry
shutting it down for record length Of
time and still basically unreSolved. Per-
hapS nothing contributed more to this
costly impaSSe than the breakdown In
,uleaningful communications between the
two sides, the failure Of one or both to
abandon a psychology of "class war"
that is completely anachronistic, self
defeating and highly damaging to the
public welfare. The result is that the
labor arrangement relationship "degen-
crates into an orgy Of calling"
and hysterical sloganeering that makes
communication virtually impossible.
:, The burden of guilt in this instance
rests on the spokesmen for labor. One
after the other, they have raised their
voices to charge the industry with de-
termination to destroy the union. When
the Government, acting only after long
deliberation and judicial review, invoked
the Taft-Hartley law, labor'S abuse-in
which, to his credit, President David Nc
Donald Of the United SteelworkerS did
not join-waS turned against the Presi-
dent Of the United States for sanction
ing slavery" of workers and making a
political payoff" to the steel corpora
tions.
r. Mr.. Mitchell did not stop with his
recital of this sorry chapter, his analysis
Of the lack Of understanding on both
sides, or his condemnation of the
"unprincipled political atmosphere" in
which such outrageous accusations
could be directed at a President of the
United States. He suggested that both
management and labor should become
aware that their responsibility no longer
extends only to shareholders and union
members, but "to the entire national
interest in an economy characterized by
interdependence and by multiple, private
ownership of property" He suggested,
also, that the time has come when
third chair" should be placed at every
bargaining table-"the chair in which
the public sits" In this chair there may
be demonstrated a greater sense Of GOTH
century maturity.

Transit Plan

D. G. Transit plans to
abandon the Cabin John
streetcar line by the end of
this year. When the District
is considering astronomical
expenditures to build a rapid
transit system, it seems
stupid to abandon the one
rapid transit line in exist
ence. It would make more
sense to devise ways of in
creasing its use.
First, the D-4 bus line
should be dropped. These
sinking, lung-searing, teeth
rattling buses run parallel to
the Cabin John line along
most Of the route served only
by these two lines. Only in
the short Thirty-f1fth street.
Foxhall road sector is the bus
line more than two blocks
from the streetcar; the bus
line could be retained this
far. D-4 goes only to the
District line, whereas the
Streetcar serves Maryland as
well "a service presumably to
be discontinuedD.
If the D-4 line Is aban-
doned, most Of it's passengers
will switch to the Cabin John
streetcar line, making it a
paying proposition. The re-
verse is not true. If the
Cabin John line is aban-
doned, many passengers will
prefer cars to the D-4 line.
All of them will be added to
highway traffic, whatever
their choice. The Cabin John
line offers, in addition to
speed and comfort, the most
scenic ride by far in the
Metropolitan Area.
Second, if the District once
considered it feasible to route
highway traffic from the
Bethesda Chevy Chase area
via the Potomac Palisades
route downtown, why doesn't
it consider the feasibility of
connecting by rail the present
Cabin John line with the
Bethesda Chevy Chase area?
1t might then be possible to
whip through loaded street.
cars, nonstop from Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase in much
less time than it would take
to drive down town. The
Cabin John line all the way
to Georgetown has its own
exclusive right-of-way, with
very few intersections, all of
which could have stop signs
for auto traffic, permitting
nonstop service at high

Serving Peace

President Bourguiba of TuniSia has
rendered good service to the cause Of
peace in exhorting Algeria's rebel
leaders to accept President de Gaulle's
conduct invitation to, cease-f1re
talks in Paris. These talks, if successful,
would put an end to cruel and waste
flll war that has been going on for five
years. More than that, they would open
the way to an honorable final settle
ment under which the Algerian people
would enjoy the right Of complete self
determination in deciding the future
status of their country.
This decision would be based on an
absolutely free and unfettered vote open
to the most thoroughgoing international
observation. The vote itself would offer
the Algerians three choiceS-O to
"Secede" from France and become COM
pletely independent on go-it-alone
basis; (2) to ''integrate" as an integral
and inseparable part of France; or (3)
to be a Self-governing nation associated
with France as member of the French
Community" or Union" Clearly, here
is plan that offers a just peace with
honor and liberty, and it well justif1eS
these words from General de Gaulle to
the rebel leaders; 'The war you conduct,
the somber war, no longer has real
reason. There are better things for your
ardor, your courage, your love of your
native land to do"
Essentially the same view has now
been voiced by President Bourguiba,
whose country plays host to and is allied
with the Provisional Government of the
Algerian rebel nationaliStS. His counsel
to them is therefore doubly encouraging
to all who hope for an early finish to
what has become a senseless war. Ger
tainly, it the safe-conduct invitation to
Paris is accepted, the outlook for peace

Question for Us

Under the caption Level
ing Trade Walls" you hail
the removal Of trade restric-
tions by Britain and the
promised action Of q similar
kind by Japan.
A great huITah has gone
up over these actions, in
our newspapers, through the
medium of editorials, colum-
mar opinions, etc.; and I think
rightly so. It Is an occasion
for throwing our hats in the
air. A great policy has
succeeded!
However, something has
been overlooked - perhaps
the most meaningful Of all
the aspects of the case.
Both Britain and Japan
maintained restrictions as
they needed them, for more
than q decade; and they
were real restrictions. not
mere mutilated tariffs. What
did it get them? 1t enabled
them to pull out Of holes so
deep that 1t hardly seemed
possible that they could
bring of the coup they now
announce.
Their success is q won-
derful testimonial to the
judicious use Of import re-
strictions by a country when
1t needs them.
Needless to say. both coun-
tries had a helping hand
from US; and that too was
good - at least up to this
moment. I, for one, do not
begrudge the aid we extended
in the past.
It behooves us, however,
to be as wise as were Britain
} and Japan. We stand right
now on the brink Of a hole
deep enough to swallow US
all. It is an economic hole.
The record speaks for IT.
self.
Our prices are high be-
cause of (a) World War II
costs, (b) high post-Korea
defense outlays and Co for
eign- aid. These costs have
led to high taxes. Taxes are
a cost burden. On the do
mestic economic front public
policy has led to and sup
ported high income and
profits, high wages, high
farm prices, high employ
ment, social security, etc. All
these have also had the ef-
feet of raising costs. We need
high incomes to pay the
high taxes.
In the face of high costs
here foreign costs in many
lines of production have been
kept down or even lowered
because of the installation of
some $25 billion worth Of
modern machinery and
equipment shipped to them
from the United States in
the past seven years. In 9TH
er words, a virtual industrial
revolution has occurred
abroad. We have lost our
great chronological lie a d.
Many of our firms are OUT
ward bound to save their
foreign markets.
In the face Of the in
creased foreign productivity
their wages have not sopped
up the differential, thus
giving foreign producers a
greater competitive advan-
tage over us than ever be-
fore. Their labor unions lack
the bargaining force and
competence of ours.
In the meantime our av-
erage tariff levels have been
hammered down 80 per cent
in the past Is years. Our gold
reserves have dropped from
SPAS billion to $19.5 billion.
We are running a deficit
ranging from So to 81 bill
billion a year in our total
foreign account. Secretary of
the Treasury Anderson is
faced with paying 5 per cent
interest on our public debt
as it is refinanced.
What would Britain and
Japan or any other intelli-
gent nation do under the cir
cumStances?
