De GouIIe and Britain

The Star has labeled
negative and divisive"
President de Gaulle's stand
for present exclusion Of
Great Britain from the Com
mon Market. Others, from the
White House down, have
similarly criticized the gen.
eral.
simultaneously praise has
been heaped on Jean Monnet
while we have noted the sue
cess of the Coal and Steel
Community, Euratom, and
the Common Market as 1t
now exists. Should we not
realize that these several in
stitutions have developed
without the presence of
Great Britain, even despite
its opposition?
AS for any suggestion of
harshneSs toward Albion, is
this more than recognition
Of her own refusal to join
when support was needed,
her attempt to block the
formation Of the Common
Market, and her establish
ment of the Outer Seven as
a defense" or competitive
force?
Who are we to charge and
repeat the charge of de-
lusions of grandeur? Out of
discouraging circumstances
France and the others have
developed a potent and via
BILE force. Do we seek to limit
that force, or are we or
Britain attempting to control
1t?
I, for one, fail to see any
greater qualities of leader
ship In our own country or
in Great Britain than now
exist in the Common Market.
Our criticism of De Gaulle
appears to reflect a desire to
exercise a measure of con-
troll which he will not per-
NIT and to which we would
no more submit were 1t
sought by others.
If we consistently recognize
communism as the common
threat, we can join hands
with the Common Market
and its members. There is
no sensible basis for the
claim that a Joint effort is
divisive.

A Positive Step Toward Home Rule

Your January % editorial
regarding my Joint resolution
to provide for three civilian
Commissioners for the Dis
trict of Columbia. not more
than two Of whom should be
from one political party,
made this statement:
over the years, the Ma
tion's Capital has benefited
tremendously from the tai
ents Of the military officers
who have served in this post.
Almost without exception,
they have proved TO be COM
petent, honest and dedicated
administrators. 1t would be
nice, but sadly untrue. to say
that the complete roster OF
civilian appointees could
claim a record as good"
I think this editorial COM
pletely misses the point Of my
Joint resolution. which was q
positive step toward home
rule. In fact, / explained the
purpose OF my legislative pro-
poSal last September In these
words:
II have long been interested
In home rule. and In what
ever steps can be taken TO
enlarge the area OF citizen in
terest. concern. and action.
This is certainly no reflection
on Gen. Frederick j. Clarke,
who, from everything I can
learn. is one OF the ablest
men ever TO occupy the post
OF Engineer Commissioner.
But this position ought 10 be
filled by a civilian. and a man
intimately aware OF. and
deeply versed in. the city's
problems and naturally one
who has lived In the city for
an extended period OF time"
Certainly II we practiced
democracy here In the Ma
tion's Capital. II would be a
fine example for the rest OF
the world which too often is
inclined 10 favor military
rule.
This matter was first
brought into focus last Sep
tember by Rear Admiral Neill

terested in sharing the good
things Of the affluent society.
They were studying their
textbooks about how to allo-
cate these great boons among
all the West. He was con-
cerned solely with the hard
realities of real international
political life. For many
months, while he clearly had
not the slightest intention Of
ever allowing the British into
the European Common Mar
ket on livable terms, the
professional amateurs nursed
the great illusion that he
would surely do so-if only
"the economics of the thing"
could be adjusted.
Politicians Not Fooled
What he was really about
has at least for a year and
a half been quite apparent to
almost every practical poll
tician on both sides Of the
Atlantic who ever demon
strated the capacity to carry
so much as a county. But the
hard political approach was
largely avoided on the Anglo
American side in difference
to the inSistence of the "ex-
perts"-the politico-econo-
mists-that only they could
really understand the COM
plexities Of this brave new
economic" world.
Admittedly, it is conceivable
that Gen. de Gaulle could
have won the game anyhow,
given Britain's initial mistake
in not jumping at once into
the Common Market rather
than first wasting time in
trying to create a competing
bloc which lacked the vital
element-sufficient power.
But 1t is surely plain at
least that the game was lost
beyond hope when the Anglo
Americans persisted in mis-
understanding the kind of
game he was playing and per-
sisted in trying to play it in
the wrong field. ,
We relied too much on a
team Of economic theorists;
he sent in a team of tough
politicians, headed by one C.
de Gaulle. And the first thing
we knew. the game was all
over, while our team was still
roaming around in the wrong
ball park trying to find out
what had gone wrong with
the rules-which say, to them,
that it is economies, and not
men, that make history.

The Rambler mentioned
the return of former Senator
Claude Pepper of Florida to
the present Congress as q
Representative. The Rambler
asked the new Representative
how many Senators have
served subsequently in the
House. Mr.. Pepper answered,
"Only two in my time. James
W. Wadsworth of New York
and Matthew M. Neely of
West Virginia. But I asked
the Legislative Service Of the
Library of Congress and they
reported that there were more
than So"
I am surprised that neither
the Rambler nor Mr.. Pepper
seems to have known Of the
most extraordinary case Of
this sort, that of John Quincy
Adams. After having been
Minister of the United States
to the Netherlands and Prus-
Sia, he was Senator from Mas
sachuSetts from 1903 to 1903.
Later he was professor at
Harvard University, Minister
to Russia, Secretary of State
in the Cabinet of President
Monroe from 1917 to 1925,
and President Of the United
States from 1925 to 1929. De-
feated for reelection as
President, he retired to his
home at Quincy, Mass.
Some of his neighbors sug-
geSted that he run for Repre-
sentative in Congress from
his home district, but others
said that for him to accept
election to the House would
degrade an ex-President. To
this Adams answered that no
person could be degraded by
serving the people as a Rep
resentative in Congress, or
even as a selectman Of his
town. He was elected to the
House and served In 1t from
1881 to 1848. His long service
there was marked by his pres
entation Of many petitions
for the abolition of slavery
in the District of Columbia.
The gag rule" provided that
all petitions relating to slav-
cry should be laid on the
table without being referred
to a committee or printed.
Adams fought against this
rule as a violation Of the
right to petition guaranteed
by the First Amendment to
the Constitution, and had the
satisfaction Of seeing the rule
repealed in 1874. At the age
OF 30 Adams was stricken
with apoplexy on the floor
OF the House Of Representa-
tives and died two days later.

1t errs on the side Of con-
servatism. for, despite the
constantly reiterated inter-
est OF the present admins

tual practice is not to ap-
point people from the District
OF Columbia to those boards

ing responsibility and func-
ton where the District is
concerned.

pointees Of the National Cap
ital Planning Commission are

An article in The Star
some weeks ago reported that
Commissioner Tobriner. and
members OF the local Demo-
cratic and Republican Par
ties favored a requirement
that all employees OF the Dis
trict Government should live

As I say, perhaps my Joint
resolution was too conserva-
tive for the basic issue Is one
Of home rule. A lot OF people
would prefer military rule 10

Yet, all these people have

Mr.. Noyce feels that 1t is
more than the mere fact that
they were alive when they
should have been dead.
They were not all reli-

Gus people sometimes make
sacrifices that they know
will hasten their appearance

Mr.. Noyce leans heavily
and somewhat apologetically

he has also found q more
easily perceived Ariadne's
thread. mo man is an is

can survive utterly alone.
Those whom we have
considered survived through
the help and encourage
ment Of others" Even "if one
is alone, or feels alone, in
certain circumstances, an.
other presence may be felt"
In other words, the Others"
may not be literally at hand.
At the end. Mr.. Noyce re-
marks that II stop, having
already, like Milton's fallen
angels. strayed too far and

He does not, in fact, stray
too far. though he comes

are therefor their own sake
and as subjects Of medita-
ton, II you are a layman and

you are the proper sort, Of
the other side Of life.
But do not read them as
adventure stories. Mr.. Noyce's
thought and style are too
fine to be thus demeaned by
the reader.

THE PASSING SCENE
Botching the De GouIIe Issue
BY WILLIAM S. WHITE

It is time for the plain
politicians to take over the
job Of restoring the Western
alliance or, alternatively, of
getting about the business Of
raising up another in its
place. 1t Is past time for the
PROFESSIONAL economists to
bow out Of a job which they
have SO profoundly botched.
President Charles de Gaulle
Of France dominates the
European continent today
with his exclusion already Of
Britain and his plain purpose
to exclude the United States
as we'll, If he cantor pre-
cisely one reason.
He knew from the start
that his real undertaking.
the creation Of a De Gaulle-
dominated third force in the
world between the United
States on the one side and
the Soviet Union on the other
was a strictly political un-
dertaking. Accordingly, from
the very beginning he ap-
preached his problem with
the single-minded application
Of the techniques Of power
politics, while we listened too
much and gave too much ne
gotiating power to political
amateurs.
His chosen antagonists fell
predictably into his trap,
for, predictably. they per-
sisted in the delusion that
the central issue was only
one Of economics. This was
an outgrowth of their fixed
and totally wrong conviction
that great world events are
determined "by the econom-
les Of the thing" instead Of
by the resolves Of powerful
and ambitious world politi-
clans. The non-political ex-
perts always reject this true
motivation because it is too
simple an answer and thus
one which they regard as far
too "unsophisticated."
While U. s., Britain Dreamed
Gen. de Gaulle had selected
his antagonists-Britain and
the United States-long be-
fore they even knew they
were his antagonists. While
he moved implacably and
without real challenge from
the Anglo-Americans to as
sert and then to consolidate
a strictly political power in
Europe. they busted them
selves with dreams that the
old gentleman was really in

Wilfrid Noyce, says the dust

while descending Mount
Garmo in the Pamirs Of the

1862.
Mr.. Noyce was not partic-
ularly interested in mystic
survivors-Eastern or West
ern - who deliberately set
about exposing themselves to
impossible conditions for the
sake Of attaining isolation
from mankind. Furthermore,
one has the feeling that Mr..
Noyce considered a good deal
OF Eastern religious medita-
tion as essentially isolation
ist regardless OF the words in
which 1t may be expounded.

Mission Festival
Is Planned
By Pastor A. M. UpIegger


October 10th is planned this
year as the Sunday for the an
nual Mission Festival at Grace
Lutheran Church. 1t is a Festi-
val Sunday in that very special
attention is given to the eStab-
fishing and upholding of Mis-
Sions among the heathen and
unchurched in various lands to
ChriStianize them through the
preaching of the Gospel of the
Lord Jesus Christ. AS the Gospel
was effective to bring Christian
faith to the Apache people at
various Mission stations, so now
Apache Christians are in turn
thankfully supporting the work
of the Church among people in
other lands, so that they also
might inherit life in the King
dom of God.
The guest speakers for the
Festival here this year will be
Pastor Marcus C. Nitz of Good
Shepherd Lutheran Church in
Tucson, who will preach in the
morning at 1000, and Pastor
Venus Winter of the Spanish
Lutheran Mission in Tucson,
who will give an illustrated
lecture in the evening at 7::30,
Pastor Nitz is a son of Pastor
H. C. Nitz, who served as vicar
missionary at Peridot in 1916,
then as Pastor in Globe in 1920
to 1922, and then at East Fork
Mission near Whiteriver from
1922 to 1923. Pastor Winter
teaches and breaches in Spanish
at the San Pablo Spanish Luth-
eran Church and School on
the south side in Tucson.
Grace Lutheran Ladies' Aid
members, together with other
members of the congregation,
will serve a pot-luck dinner to
members and invited guests on
the church grounds under the
forty year old mulberry tree,
planted by "The Old Gentle
man Missionary" who will be SO
years old this month, and who
still hears, sees and speaks
well, though he is bedridden
now through bodily weakness
and has to rest from his former
labors.

On September %, the neigh
borhood boys were invited on
a hike in the hills by the
Apache Independent Church of
San Carlos. We took our lunch
es, water and pop. The hiking
was good exercise for the pastor
but didn't tire the boys any.
We hiked to the hills, then
down to the river. After lunch
we had a viSualized story of
Christ and His love for us. The
boys enjoyed the hike and are
looking forward to another one
soon.
On October 3rd we were
happy to have with us a guest
speaker. Everyone enjoyed the
preaching of Mr.. Walker Ton
to. His message inspired us to
live a more fully dedicated
life to Christ.
On October 5th some of the
members of the church journ-
eyed to the Blackwater Baptist
Church where there was re-
vival meeting. We were privi-
legged to witness in song for
our Lord and were greatly
blessed by the preaching of
Rev. Edison Lives, whose mes
sages inspired many to rededi-
cate their lives to Christ.

of another church in Los Angel

On October 1920 there will
be a Camp Meeting in Casa

to our number such as should
be saved. In the past month
twelve persons entered the
Kindgom of God through Holy
