Zoning and the Postwar Era
We are neither authorized nor qualified to
soar of the postwar desires of ex-service
spen and women and their families, but we
Tuess that the one dominant thought in most
of their minds will be the acquisition and
occupation of a home. Most of them have
dragged from pillar to post for three or
four years living in all sorts of habitations,
subject to all sorts of restrictions, and petty
tyrannies and made to feel that they were
more or less unwanted. ,
What is true of the service people will be
true of those engaged in war production far
from their normal haunts.1
There is a backlog of millions of potential
new homes, created by wartime marriages;
and to accommodate them and take care of
established but uprooted homes, one of the
greatest home-building eras in our history
will confront us. - -
And it is a confrontation, for it involves
many problems, some perhaps insoluble.
The G. I. Bill of Rights is designed to help
ex-service men build their own homes, but
unless it is revised and perfected it will not
begin to take care of even that one angle to
postwar home-making, much less the others.
This city is going to see its share of home
building in the years immediately ahead. F r
that reason and many others we believe our
city-plan, and especially the zoning part of
it, 'should be put into operation as quickly

These aims and objectives, of themselves

is a real headache; for bound up with the
pursuit of them is, the usual assortment of
human frailties—hatred, suspicion, selfish-
ness. greed, vainglory and stupidity.fuel
Any man or group of men who add fuel
t these natural fires by devious or direct

mischievous pre-conference excursions into
the field of international—allied—accord.
Both involved Russia, the- Ishmael among na-
tions, easy to hate, easy to suspect easy to
distrust First, she wanted three votes in the
peace-organization’s lower house, called the
assembly. Next, Moscow demanded that the
Warsaw' Polish government, milk-fed and
* hand-raised by Russia, be invited to send rep-
resentatives to San Francisco.
If Russia seems overweeningly solicitous
of and ambitious for its own brand of Polish
governance, remember that Britain also has
been maintaining its own particular variety

British and French and Chinese. It does not
necessarily follow that Russia, or we, or the
British or French; will get what they ask;
but nobody can be hanged for trying. .
Seekers after perfection might as well stay |
away from San Francisco. What takes place
there will be the result of compromise, o
give and take. If what comes out of it will
shove the world ten steps closer to perma-
nent peace, then the millions of common sol-
diers who died in this war will not have died

WASHINGTON, April 2-
The delegates to the United Na-
tions conference In San Fran-
cisco April 25 will try to turn
man's age-old dream—no more
wars—into a reality.. .
They are going there to work
out a charter for a world organ-
ization to preserve; peace after
this war. The San Francisco
conference is not a peace con-
ference connected with this war
The delegates will carry the
charter back home with them.
Their governments will have to
approve it before the world or-
ganization can start to operate.
This is the second time in 26
years, that the nations have tried
to set up s peace-keeping plan.

This country stayed out of the
old league. Eventually, the league
failed, as this war shows. But
this war has changed American
thinking about joining a world
organization.

ization without approval of the

A good deal of sporadic, hit-or-miss and
temporary small-house building has been
going on for three or four years. All types
of houses have sprung up all over the place.
Some of them are distinctly of the shot-gun,
or jerry-built, type. The presence of such
buildings in neighborhoods where the preva-
lent type is modern and comfortable does two
things: It decreases the livability and value
of adjoining homes, and by reducing prop-
erty values in that area, it deprives the city
of tax revenues. Zoning is designed to pre-
vent these blighted areas, and to insure the
propertv owner against unwarranted destruc-
tion of his property's value .

ourselves today.______________,
Delegation of statesmen .from
all over the world are about to
get in solemn conclave at San
Francisco. Judging from advance
indications, they will agree on a
security organization that will
bind the member nations to send
their arms and their men to keep
the peace of the world.
We will agree, in other words, to
send our most precious commodi-
ty. Yet today we glower sus-
piciously at the rest of the world
and say, in effect, not one more
pound of butter, not one more
side of bacon, not one more pound
of flour And that comes after we
have sacrificed nearly a million
young men already in a war for
security.
This state of mind seems to me
to be s fact of paramount Impor-
tance, It is a stumbling block In
the path of the peace planners,
and it is such a big obstacle It is
hard to see how they can step
over it. -
People with empty stomachs are
not very much interested in po-
litical ideas or ideals And a great
many people in Europe, to say
nothing of other parts of the
world, have empty stomachs. Mil-
lions, literally millions!
POLITICAL PRESCRIPTION
. I heard it put this way. If you
are sick— and Europe today B
a sick continent — the, doctor
comes and writes a prescription
-for some medicine he believes will
make you well. But the prescrip- t
lion has to be tilled at the drug
store. You can't eat the paper It
is written on.
Well, it’s a little like that with
the Dumbarton Oaks plan and the
Amendments and improvements
that will come out of the San
Francisco conference. That is the
political prescription. But the pa-
tient is suffering from prolonged
malnutrition and he cannot eat
a-piece of paper.
We are, of course, not the only
people reacting with a nervous
kind* of nationalism to this mat-
ter of food shortages. Everybody
seems to be looking anxiously over
his shoulder to see whether his
neighborhood has more on his
plate than he has.
A headline in a London daily-
says, "U. S. meat ration five times
Britain’s.” The Canadians can
show that in 1944 we ate more
i meat per capita—that is. Ameri-
can civilians— than they ate in
Canada. Now, with no meat ra-
tioning. they are ahead of us. But
apparently, with more shipping
space available so that shipments
can go to England again. Canada
will restore rationing.
It is all tied up in one package.
1 this question of food supply The
| Canadians tell me that at one
time last year they wanted to ship
live cattle Into this country to be
slaughtered here Cattle growers
1 in the west didn't like that Ap-
parently their political pressure
was sufficient to keep the Cana-
dian livestock out.

That, it seems to me. Is a dead
end of frustration. Coming at a
time when hungry millions in Eu-
rope need the bare essentials, it
can wreck, the best laid plans of
the great Assize in San Francisco.
Why not look at It in another
way? Why ask ourselves whether
it’would not be possible to eat 10
percent less during the next 12
months than we have been eat-
ing?
WOULD MAKE DIFFERENCE .
The first impulse is to say that
this could make no difference
when there are so many under-
fed. But 10 percent off our total
food supply would feed 13.000,000
people. For most Europeans.

The arguments about who is to

INVITATIONS TO SURRENDER
“Surrender passes” printed in
structions to Chinese and Ameri-
can troops that the bearer ot the
pass is surrendering, should be
treated courteously nd taken to
headquarters
The surrender passes haven’t
been very effective, one handicap
being that the Allied troops in the
field don’t seem to like the Jap
soldiers well enough to let them
be captured alive. But the need for
taking Jap prisoners for ques-
tioning, and the need for break-
ing down the Jap Idea that to
surrender is disgraceful are both
important.
Thia latter idea is encouraged
by dropping leaflets, which show
pictures of Japanese soldiers who
have surrendered, enjoying life as
prisoners of war Their eyes are
masked in the photographs for
the protection of their families
But, says a translation ot the
message printed on the reverse
side ot the leaflet, "Look at their

of becoming pillars ol the Japan

of its kind seen
thus far In the

course, Okinawa
also is of vast strategic impor-
tance, but what rings the bell is
that we've flung an army of some
100,000 into a heavily populated
section of Emperor Hirohito's im-
mediate domain. That’s enough to
make us divide our attention, for
a bit between tottering Germany
and the Japanese
Some of you may recall that
on March 19 this column called
attention to the likellhoodof a 1
fresh invasion of Jap territory.
Well, Okinawa was what I had
in mind, since it. was clearly
marked for the kill by the tre-
mendous aerial bombardment it
had been getting—but we weren’t
supposed to give a name to it at
that stage of operations. The fact
that all this time has been de-

speaks loudly of the strength of
the position and the dangers of

The inevitable answer to this
question is no: only the Cana-
dian government can order Can-
adian troops Into battle. Just M
only the United States govern-
ment can order American troops.
It does not matter what is the
voting procedure, who is suppos-
ed to be a permanent or a tem-
porary member, or who in fact
happens to be on the security
council if a -decision is to be
made which requires Canadian
troops to carry it out, onlv the
voluntary consent of the Cana-
dian government can make that
decision effective. Even if a treaty
were drafted under which gov-
ernments agreed to abide by ma-
jority rule In matters of this sort,
the agreement would be worth-
less Men Just will not risk their
lives in a cause which their own
government has disapproved. That
is why in serious matters there
can be no such thing among na-
tions aa voting and being out-
voted.
For this reason the best voting
system would have been to have
no voting system, and* thus to
have recognised clearly * at the
outset, that except on procedural
questions and issues that do not
involve force or vital interest.
