Letters from
Statesman Readers
High to Broadway
to the Editor:
I have been asked a good
many times why Broadway street
did not extend through the main
part of Salem, Instead of chang
ing its name, at E street and
from there on being known as
High street. Most all cities have
a. Broadway street and it appears
to me that it would be worthy of
consideration to change the name
ot High street to Broadway
street and give Salem its Broad
way. It would be less confusing
to motorists and the general pub
lic. Tours very truly,

which, in the

The words are I Y :T'
those of a very
great scientist.
one Of the most Daratay Thompson
revolutionary thinkers of our
tlmvS, who paused In his re
searches into the nature of time
and space to send a message to
the YMCA last Sunday. And this
revolutionist of physics, Profes
sor Einstein, asserted that there
are 'before our eyes dangers
which eeven the darkest pessi
mists of the last century did not
dream of. The Injunctions of
the Bible concerning human con
duct were then accepted by be
liever and infidel alike as self-
evident demands for the individ
ual and society. "The departure
from these ; injunctions Professor
Einstein plainly declares to be a
retrogressive step, and he cites
as indications to a relapse into
barbarism the moral degenera
tion expressed in the relinquish
ing of the auest of truth for Its
own sake, and the prevalence of
the idea that "Right is that which
serves us!
a a
This assertion that man cannot
live as a human being without
the recognition of. and devotion
to, moral principles,' comes with
particular interest from a man
whose theory of relativity has
been loosely associated in the lay
mind with the very forces tend
ing to destroy faith in such pla-
tonic Ideas as truth and untruth.
Justice and Injustice, good and
evil. The tendency of modern
thinking to confuse the genesis
of things .with their truth the
tendency which interprets the
physics of Newton as character
istic of a rising bourgeoisie, or
the love relation between men
and women as the emanation
only of a certain kind of eco
nomic system, or the Ideas of a
political leader as related to his
infantile conditioning this ten
dency is" repeatedly Justified . as
being "scientific." But Profes
sor Einstein is by no means the
first eminent scientist to repu
diate It.
a
The doctrine that Right Is
what serves us, rl;ht belngln-
corsorated In a certain kind of
political and economic organiza
tion, has been officially adopted
by both communism and fascism.
In neither form of Society does
the individual conscience func
tion without -hindrance in even
the simplest personal relation
ships, to people or ideas. Nor is
there acknowledgrnent of any
possibility of truth outside the:
ideology of the organized socie
ty. Thus, a German is justified
in repudiating; a debt, if the
debt Is to a Jew, or renouncing
solemnly taken oaths of fidelity,
if they are taken in any personal
relationship with - non-Aryan.
In the current .philosophy of In
ternational communism, cabal.
Intrigue and the lie are good or
evil, wholly according to the
aims they serve. , Christian (or
Jewish, or Mahometan) ethics
are but instruments to serve cer
tain kinds of societies and have
no value in themselves.

One cannot read the Interna
tional news, even as written by
presumably impartial observers,
without the vivid consciousness
that there Is a wholesale and al
most universal disregard for
truth, and that no nation has a
monopoly of this disregard. Rus
sia is not really rnterveining in
the affairs of Spain although,
curiously, the very same Indi
viduals turn up In prominent ad
visory capacity to the Loyalist
government who were active dur
ing the Kuomintang government
in China. Or Russia is interven
ing in Spain and Mussolini Is
genuinely for non-intervention,
and meanwhile is only gallantly
and disinterestedly assisting
Christian civilization. Moroccan
soldiers on the Rhine were jl j lot
on the nart of France to. polute
and humiliate the German race:

Race against internatiohal Bol
shevism. There is not even evi
dence 'Of that hypocracy which
was once- the concession of the
unprincipled to the existence of
j .principles. Untruth is brazen and
unashamed. -
And we make a great mistake
ir we believe that this lapse
away from personal standards;
or any standards of principle, Is
confined to the totalitarian ststes.
On the contrary. It is character
istic of the whole of existing so
ciety, including our own. "The
elementary reaction against Jus
tice and injustice la lacking ev

The idea that the Character

the character and quality of the
people who compose It, seems to
have been abandoned. Capital '

positively encouraged to accept
the worst ideas' of monopoly cap

A man died the other day who
goes down In history as the lib
erator of his people: Thomas
Masaryk, founder and first pres
ident of the Czechoslovak repub
lic. He began his career by ex
posing, as a blatant forgery a
document dear to the heart of
the oppressed Czechs, on which
they based part of their claim to
a thousand years of culture,
when he made the exposlre. they
denounced him as a traitor to
his people. But he Insisted that
a revolution founded on a lie
would come to no good end. Ma
saryk was either Just an old
fashioned liberal, or. he was
like Professor Einstein a man
about a generation In advance of
the rest of civilization. For he
honestly believed that there must
be a synthesis between social
change and public and private
morality; that there ls no Jus
tice, except where the lore of
Justice, and sensibility to Justice
reign that there is no public
welfare without private good
ness; and that man is not only
an economic, but an ethical an
