tionalism speedily ana effectively.
Nationalism, he pointed out, is
one of the “virus of modernization’’
accompanying the Impact of West
ern technology on ancient custom.
In China, he described as an ex
''ample, this spirit is imported—in
past centuries the Chinese didn’t
even have a word for nationalism.
Besides finding themselves inde
pendent, the Chinese saw their na
tion raised suddenly to a first class
power, a “heady wine to drink,”
Williston said. “Can we expect
them to exchange this new won
nationalism so soon for fnterna
tionai control?” he asked.
When asked if the Chinese Com
munists were not more interna
tional in their outlook, Williston
replied that they had not yet been
put to test. “So far they have fol
lowed the party line,” he said, “but
there is some evidence that they
are ‘Chinese first’.”
The best Far Eastern policy for
the United States to follow, he an
swered another questioner, is one
of continued but carefully directed
and supervised economic aid.
Williston is opposed to further
military aid to the Nationalists,
however, .because “the resentment
it causes on the part of the people
actually harms the Nationalist
cause.”
Economic aid should be extended
to private enterprise rather than
government agencies, he added,
for the most effectiveness.
Williston is here as part of the
Religious Evaluation week lecture
program. At the University of
Washington he is faculty adviser
to the campus religious council,
and on the “Y” board.
Primarily interested in Far East
ern and international affairs, Wil
liston was an UNRRA representa
tive in China after World War II.
After the first world war, he did
student relief work there.
He received his A.B. degree from
Ohio Wesleyan college and his
Ph.D. from the University of Chi
cago.

sons can be absorbed into the diplo
matic service, industry, scientific
work, teaching, and, of course, the
army.”
As for the Oregon campus, Mr.
Strash seems to be impressed;
‘‘Why—even the air here is con
ducive to study!”
He also notes a marked change
between the'atmosphere at UO—
enrollment 6000 plus, and the UW
—enrollment 18,000 plus.
Mr. Strash is anxious to see a
Russian study club started. Plans
for such a group are being formed
at the present time.
An Appeal to Reason
(Continued from page six)
Neither teachers nor librarians
nor anyone else can devise a for
mula of caution which will free
responsible officers from the ex
ercise of judgment or protect
them from the passions of those
who, whatever lip service they
may pay to freedom, do not ap
prove,of freedom when their own
beliefs are challenged. The only
test with books and periodicals
as with men is the individual test
—the decision of each case on its
merits. In this book or this pe
riodical, regarded as a whole, a
serious and responsible exercise
of the right of free inquiry and
free report ? If it is, and if it deals
with matters within the general
interest of the citizens, in terms
which students can understand,
then there is no justification for
its suppression because an article
or groups of articles or several
passages scattered through vari
ous articles are objectionable to
special groups, whatever the
grounds of the objection.
Certainly the fact that relig
ious questions are often contro
versial is not a reason for sup
pressing ..them., in ..the ..nation’s
schools. One of the principal pur
poses ..of ..American ..education
should be to see to it that no gen
eration grows up in ignorance of
the controversial issues it will
have to face.
In our opinion the solution of
the entire problem requires that
the school authorities in the city
of New York give up forthwith
their claim to dictate what the
children of New York shall not
read. In place of issuing a per
missive list of books and period
icals, as they do now, they should
return to the democratic practice
of issuing an advisory list. That
list should be drafted with the
counsel of a group representing
the best and most disinterested
judgment available in the city,
carefully chosen so as to avoid
dominance by any special interest
and expressly protected from
special influences however exer
cised. Both the advisory group

and the school authorities, more
over, should give up the notion
that there are any subjects which
are verboten to the children of
America or that the likes and
dislikes of any group in the com
munity can be permitted to dic
tate the limitations of the knowl
edge of the rest.
Had these fair, decent and dem
ocratic considerations been ap
plied in the case of THE NATION
the suppression would have been
unthinkable. THE NATION is
one of the most respected period
icals in the world today. For
more than eighty years it has
been a courageous champion of
minority rights and democratic
causes. No one has questioned
and no one can question the rec
ord of its total achievement un
der its present editor or under
her predecessors.

New York future issues of one of
the country's leading periodicals

journalism since 1865 because a
past issue or issues contained par
agraphs which one of the many

try found objectionable seems to

mental principles of American
equality. We believe the wrong
should be righted at once, not so.
much in the interest of THE NA
TION as in the interest of the
people of the United States.
Hardly a reformer is now alive
who ever saw a permanently suc

Infirmary Staff
Adds New Nurse
Student health service has an
nounced the addition of Mrs. Don
na Williams to the nursing staff of
the campus infirmary.
Mrs. Williams, formerly of Sa
cred Heart hospital, was appointed
to help care for the unusually
large turnover of patients. Her
husband is enrolled in the Univer
sity law school.
At the present time there are
ten bed patients in the infirmary,
all of whom will listen to the Port
land game via radio this coming
weekend. In spite of the number
of students off campus for the
game, the infirmary will be open
all weekend to incoming patients.
