REFLECTIONS—

Betio Story ‘By Harry Hansen:

| ONCE MORE we repeat, on ‘the * basis of new evidence: Never before in history has a war been reported so fully and so. well; never before have photographs of every action been available so widely. If there is an American who does not have a concrete idea of what an attack on the windswept beaches of Normandie and the wrecked pillboxes of Pacific islands looks like, then he has been living deep down in a mine, where light never comes. Take the latest evidente, “Betio Beachhead,” a book of prose and pictures of the battle of “Tarawa by the U. S. marine corps. It was prepared on orders of Gen..T. Holcomb, USMC, and will be. sold for the benefit of the War Orphan's Scholarship fund. (Putnam, $2.50.) : Gen. Holcomb calls the action “the most classical example of a strictly amphibious operation.” It is «also described as “the first sea-borne assault on a defended atoll.”

They Have Done a Grand Job .

AS SUCH it deserves to be reported minutely. The

nity. Particularly in times like these, no city can afford to entrust the training and guidance of its children to any but the most competent teachers. During most of the | vear, the average child spends a considerable portion of his | waking time in school. His character, to a substantial | extent, is developed there, and it is there that he forms the | ideals that will guide him through life. And if he is inspired | to the fullest, the lessons he learns will pay a large part in | the success Ni his career and in-his value to society. - » o » » UNFORTUNATELY, the idea has grown up that teach- | ers somehow do not deserve salaries in keeping with the re- | _sponsihility involved or the training required of them. In ‘the early days, teaching often. was enly a stop-gap for voung men and women just out ‘of college before they | embarked on a career in business or the professions, or before they married; modern standards, however, have | changed that. Teaching is’ now a skilled life-work. Many | teachers, it is true, are in the profession because of the! satisfaction that comes from shaping young minds and for the love of their work. But these intangible rewards do not meet grocery bills ‘nor educate families nor buy var: bonds” and support the churches, Community. fund and | Red Cross—all the community responsibilities that teachers are expected to, and do, assume, often far out of proportion to their financial resources. The teachers of Indianapolis were granted some advances last year, but they. are still far from -adequately paid. Minimum salaries still are below those of: policemen and firemen and other municipal employees whose work | does not require, as teaching does, from four to six years of oxpensive educational préparation. - Indianapolis still is loging many of its best teachers, because pay schedules are higher in other cities or because business and industry offer more. We cannot afford that. - * -.

Opportunity

WASHINGTON, April 20.—The United States has another opportunity to exert 'its leadership for international co-operation and to reverse fhe course which after the first world war promoted nationalism and nationalistio rivalries that contributed to the second. world war. This is in the matter of tariff reduction, The state department, with the backing of Presi dent Truman, now is pushing before the house ways and means ‘committee an. expaiidéd reciprocal tariff reduction program embodied in a bill by Represens tative Doughton (D. N. C.), committee chairman, ® The subject of tariff reduction seems to frighten the average American as too complicated and cone fusing. But it is simple when you get down to the fundamentals,” Tariff reductions make it possible for us to trade more easily with other nations, make for more jobs in industry and open mgre outlets for our

‘Should Be Watched in Congress’ ; IT'S BREAD-AND-MEAT-AND-JOB business. It should be watched in’ congress, for there are those | who would mess up this program, if possible. The pending bill continues the reciprocal trade prégram inaugurated by former Secretary of State

Cordell Hull, whereby representatives of our state de- § partment meet -with representatives of other governs

ments and agree to reduce tariffs. But it goes farther, Under existing law, tariffs can be cut only 50 per cent below: rates in the Smoot-Hawley tariff act of 1930. The pending bill permits a cut of another 50 per-cent. That is a total cut of 75 per cent below the Smoot-Hawley rates. ‘This tariff reduction program is an important. part of the general international co-operation program which includes the creation of an international poe litical organization, to Keep the peace, and the proe posed international bank and stabilization fund to help finance world recovery which was submitted to congress some weeks ago, They go hard in hand. °

'Warning Was Not Heeded'

IT IS TIMELY to recall the course of events that followed the last war, In his final message to congress § vetoing the emergency Fordney tariff act, President Wilson warned that’ the raising of tariff barriers would lead to disaster, because the only way that Europe could pay her debts and finance her recone struction was to be able to trade with us so she would have the wherewithal. But his warning was not heeded. Congress passed the bill over his veto. In 1922 it passed the so-called Fordney-McCumber act boosting rates all along the line. The crime was fully consummated by passage | of the Hawley-Smoot act during the Hoover adminise |

Secretary Hull tried to reverse the world trend toe | ward nationalism and open up trade with his ree ciprocal trade program in. 1934, but it was too late,

| That program, however, did accomplish some tariff 1 | reductions and stood as a symbol of what might be

done. It holds the only real hope for the future. t . i ‘Gave Committee Some Solid Reasons’ :

UNLESS THE United States takes the lead we # may go into another such era of selfish and shorte sighted nationalism, it was asserted By Assistant Sece retary of State Clayton. He gave the ways and means ; committee some solid reasons, both for continuation # of the program and for further leeway to reduce rates. i He showed that our exports have increased cone § siderably to those countries with which we have ree | ciprocal trade agreements that lowered tariff rates, while they increased much less with those with which we do not have such agreements. : He pointed out that we, have fully exhausted tariff reduction—that is, the 50 per cent under pres

ent law—as regards 42 per cent of our total dutiable i imports from all countries on the basis of 1939 values, i there 8

Unless the span for reduction is increased, could be no further reduction on this trade. This is particularly important with respect to our two biggest customers, the United Kingdom and Cane ada, -In the case of the former, present tariff ree

duction possibilities have been exhausted on 90 per &

cent of dutiable imports from that country in 1939, and 92 per cent in the case of Canada.

IN WASHING TON— °

Official Sts

By Douglas Smith :

WASHINGTON, April 20.—Army and navy brass hats are heading for a showdown with congressional : opponents of a bill which would ‘provide, in peace= time, heavy penalties for ‘disclosures of information secured through official sources.” The brass hats say all they want to do is protect their codes. Opponents say the bill takes in too much territory—that it would enable the government to Keep secret almost anything it wanted to. The broadly worded measure would provide severe penalties for anyone—war veterans, government ems ployee or war plant worker—who discloses any infore mation about the government's codes or “any mate= |

or transmitted in or by the use of any code” of the |

| United States or any foreign government, ¥

THAT “ANY MATERIAL” is the catch. A large part of the government's activities involves use of codes. coded would be covered by the bill, now and forevers | more. It is not a. wartime measure; it is permanent, The army and navy legislative sections wrote the bill—without consulting the justice department—and | sent it to congress. It was approved by. the senate | military affairs committee and passed by the senate, ! Then Senator Homer Ferguson (R. Mich.) called | it up for reconsideration, claiming that it threatens | censorship of the press, that would prefent the dise closure of information to which the public has a right, | and permits secrecy on “any matter the executive | branch desires to conceal.” Despite the criticism, the service chiefs intend to | insist on passage of the bill as it is. They claim that | censorship is not their intention.

Limiting Amendments Are Likely THIS ISNT LIKELY to be a partisan issue, | Deeply ingrained in most congressmen is a fear of | militarism. Most of them are wary of giving the | military any power over civilian population in peace= time. So, amendments to limit the scope of the bill |

In 1933 congress passed a law’at the request of the state department, which provides penalties for persons who reveal the government's'-diplomatic codes or matter prepared in such codes, but it aroused ‘no objection because it was not subject to the “stretche ing” which the measure now pending would permit,
