Antidote for Fear
EarUer this month the Reece committee,
whictuwas investigating the charge that some
tax-exempt foundations (such as the Rocke-,-feUer
Foundation) had. helped to "finance
and promote socUlism in the United States," .
called off Its hearings when one of the com
mittee members protested the methods used.
Among those scheduled to testify before
the Reece committee was the president of
the American Council on Education. A copy
cl.the statement he was to have made has
come to our .attention; in it President Arthur
S. Adams explains why the Council became
involved in the investigation. The Reece com
mit tee's research director, Norman Dodd, ap
parently based his argument on the follow
ing points: , , ' v
l.That beginning in 1933, a political rev-
'.Win- tnrJr nlar in the United States. SUD-
WiWiMV ww Mrm " '
ported by, an overwhelming majority of the
electorate, which in some of its manifesta
tions 'seems to the research staff to be un
American. ' " " " . ...
2. That the approval of this so-called 'rev- ;
caution' oy tne electorate resuuea irom uieu
indoctrination by the nation's educational in
stitutions. V ... -'
3. That the indoctrination was engineered
by a closely knit group of national organ iza
; tions, including ' the American Council . on
Education. , :. . .
Mr. Adams punctures the argument -with
some pertinent statistics: Of the U. S. popula
tion over 25 years, of age in 1932, roughly
88 per cent of the potential electorate, more .
than 60 per cent received hp formal educa
tion beyond the eighth jjrade. That means
more than half the voters got their schooling
before 1920. The council was founded in 1918
. and the various other, educational organiza
tions cited were all founded after 191&
He adds;
"The plain fact is that the schools and
colleges of this country do not have the
power to achieve mass political indoctrina
tion erea if they had the desire to do so. -.
. . The only agency In this country capable '
cl xsass political indoctrination if the fed- '
eral government, and even the government
could not be- successful by controlling the
.' 'schools alone; it would also have to control
the pulpit, the press, radio, television, and
all tother media of ;-nass communication.
Mass indoctrination is, therefore, a theoreti
cal as well as a practical impossibility in -
America today. It simply does not exist It
cannot exist so long as any minority is free i
to raise its voice. . . . The alleged conspiracy,
iso, u a.ugmeni ox xmiginauon.
In a way it is too bad the hearings ended
.when they did, and Mr. Adams did not get
an opportunity to make that strong defense
of the schools and his level-headed statement
about political indoctrination. The truth of
; what he says would be a powerful antidote
to the, panic that has poisoned so many
Americans.
No Iron Grip Here
. Joe Carson, the Democratic candidate for .
governor, has made his maiden statewide
radio and TV speech, basing his "it's time
for a change" appeal on the premise that -.
Oregon has been in "the Iron grip of an en
trenched" political system" for 75 years.
While it is true that . Oregon has been
largely Republican, it is not accurate to say '
that the Republicans have an "iron grip" on "
the state when the inference is that the state
.lies chained against its will to the 'GOP ma
chine. ' . -' ; :
The facts are no V sinister, they are simple;
Republican voters haVe predominated in Ore-;
gon, and Republican voters tend to elec
' Republican officials. ; When the Democratic
ticket has offered an outstanding candidate, -those
same Republican voters sometimes have
voted for the Democratic candidate, as was
the case when- Mrs; Edith Green ran. She
lost,. but she got a lot of support from both -.
sides' ', - . '
That-Oregon voters keep putting Republi- -cans
back into office is no proof that the
GOP has the voters buff aloedj it is some
times merely force of habit, sometimes mere
ly apathy, but more often due to the voters'
satisfaction with what the GOP officials have
done in the past. And it is also in some
t cases the fault of the Democrats; when the
- Democrat candidates appear to be no better:
than the incumbent Republicans, why should
the voters take a chance on a change? As
' Democratic voter registrations increase ' in
this state, and as the Democratic party per
suades its best men to run for public office, 1
; the two-party system will be stronger in
Oregon. - :;i ' t. .
Meanwhile, let's not kid the voters with
- this "iron grip" stuff; theylre too smart to"
suffer any unwanted shackles so long as we
continue to have free elections and the secret
ballot. 4 ' '

many ways from the trip in the campaign

has the respect and affection and boundless

His job has been unrelentingly hard and he

worst of their implied untruths..
Their worst untruth is the . idea
that large numbers of A- and H-:
