Breeding Reds in College?
THE Hearst pai crs are jumping all over the University of
Chicago her-auae "it in teaching communism. " The charge
is made the university is taking innocent little Whites to its
intellectual bosom, and turning them out dangerous Reds. "How
long," it is asked, "will the American people tolerate the prac
ticc -of one of the country's largest educational institutions,
handing out bombs concealed in sheep skinst"
All of which is a part of Brother Hearst's well organized
campaign of red baiting, and political dust-storm brewing.
WHY shouldn't the University of Chicago or any other
nniversitv teach communism, in the sense of relatinc the
principles and explaining the history, of that division of political
thought and action!
That is the business of a university, to instruct, to inform,
to prepare young men and young women, for life, by giving
them just as deep and thorough knowledge of human activities
and thought and experience, as possible.
Would Mr. Hearst have the department of political science
abandoned f If not, then by WHAT process of reasoning, woulc
he eliminate all consideration of what is unquestionably one of
the most important political developments of the post war era?
In his course on political history would Mr. Hearst ignore
the American revolution, the French revolution, if not, then on
what grounds would he ignore the RUSSIAN' revolution t
"VK course his contention is al surd, reactionary, and absolute-
ly un-American. Vet adroit demagogue that he is his cam
paien will be waged on the bar-is of 100 Americanism, pre
serving our cherished principles and institutions, a war against
the parlor pinks and alien Reds.
If America stands for anything, it certainly stands for free
speech and a free press; for freedom of thought and action,
for liberty under the law, and for FRK10 education.
What sort of America would we have, what, kind of progress
could we expect, if our schools and colleges were forbidden to
treat of this type of political theory or that, to abandon the
purpose of all education which is the search for truth, to b
straight jacketed and regimented into mere institutions ot
canned thought and distributors of partisan propaganda t
Yet that would be the inevitable outcome of such a course
lis William Randolph Hearst proposes. No other result would
be possible.
1VJOT only is the Hearst proposal entirely un-American, but it
-- " is plain stupid. Nothing would do more to stimulate in
terest in communism, arouse curiosity concerning it, and make
it a real rather than a fancied danger to this country, than any
attempt to prevent the fullest, possible study and consideration
of it.
For that would mean only one thing,- abject fear of it. The
admission that the people could not be trusted to KNOW about
it, for its advantages are so ,'reat, they would then adopt it.
TO
tr
our way of thinking nothing could be further from the
ruth. The more one really
less appealing it becomes. The more one really KNOWS about
the true conditions in Russia today, the less any sane person
wishes his own country to follow the Soviet example.
Instead of prohibiting the study of communism, or any other
"ism" in the University of Chicago, or any other university,
such study should be encouraged.
Not only because this is in harmony with the search for truth
and only the truth can make us free, hut because this is the
only certain way to avoid ultimate national disaster.
For it is not. greater truth or fuller knowledge that this
country has need to fear, it is prejudice, ignorance and delusion.

that he can take It as well as hand

with faces turned toward home, the
romantic ones are not so sure. Phil
osophically they are admitting that

But there are tears, yes bucketsful of
them, among the young unmarried
crowd in Public Works this week.

Now there Is this about honey
which may account for much of the
misunderstanding. Honey, at least
to many tastes, is sweeter than an
equal quantity of odlnary syrup or
cane sugar solution. That la. It Is
more sweetening aa an added flavor.
Consequently the sweet tooth Is
satisfied with leas sugar In this form.
We know that concentrated sugar
solution is Irritating to the lining

to Infer that persons with any stom

What he mean to convey it that

WILLIAM B. Bell, president of the
American Cyanlmld company,
one of these leaders, says:
"Few people know it, but Ameri

per capita than the French and tho
Germans." He cltea figurea showing
that the per capita tax in the United
States today la 179. as compared to
$38.83 In Germany and $40.71 In
France.
IN THE past, we have been able to
maintain. In competition with
Europe, a higher standard of wages
and a higher standard of living than
European standard.. One reason we
have bee n able to do th is is th a t
our tax burden has been far LIGHT

But If our tax burden GETS HEAV

if we shall be able to maintain a
far higher standard of living than

THE demagogues, who are In the
saddle now. have managed to
convey the Impression that taxation
la something to be born WHOLLY
by the rich, without in any way
touching the poor.
That isn't true. The cost of taxes
has to be added toethe ect of doing
business, which means that taxes are
ADDED TO PRICES.
We're all of us complaining that
prices are rising faster than our
ability to pay them, and severe tax
ation resulting from reckless public
spending is one of the principal
reasons why thla 1 so.

PAWHUSKA. Okla. (UPl Sons of

Soil erosion has been checked on

The government handed a crew of
Osage youths some unfamiliar shovels

structions in their use, put them
to work.
Since that tjme. the government
ha spent 138.000 making Osage
county an example and proving
ground for the erosion prevention
prosrram.
The Oage youths made a game ol
the work, and showed a surprising
aptitude for soli conservation work.
Eight crews, with a total of 250 tPi
300 Indians employed, have reclaimed
badly eroded lands, checked ercsion
on other lands, and interested Indian

(Continued from Page One)
There was nothing new about the
break between the White House and
the Chamber of Commerce. They
have been existing across the park
from each other here for a long time,
but they have always been miles
apart. They maintained merely & sur
'face cordiality, while each fttrenuouB
ly resisted the presence of the other.
The story is being passed around
that the "break" was caused because
President Roosevelt failed to send a
message to the convention or addre?-
It.
The truth Is the chamber prepared
the basis of its resolution, criticizing
the New Deal, privately a long time
before the convention met. The reso
lutions committee dtd only what
every convention resolutions oommlt
tee alwaya does, and that la to assem
ble and approve the resolutions pre
pared in ad vane. In this Instance,
the committee sharpened the lang-gus-ee
of the recommendations aome
what. but did not alter the meaning.
When :he full convention approved
the critical rewlutions. onlv two
eh imges were made. Both change
sharpened the criticism.
The fanciest atunt of the chamber
meeting was the one by which the
New Den'.ers tried to offset the cham
ber break by having the Roper busl
nes advisory council call at th
White House at the same time. The
idea was to show that not all bustnee
was against the New Deal.
Thla caused a ludicrous situation.
Some of the chamber leaders are also
members of the Roper council. They
i including ex-Piesidents Harriman.
Lund and others', had to dash out of
a convention criticizing the New Deal
to jotn the White House conference.
At the White H mse. as Roper coun
cillors, they approved the principle
of the federal social Security program,
our. at trie chamber, as delegates.
th'?ir convention had opposed any
federal social se urlty program.
In this incident, you me.v find the
real tignlficance of business support
and antagonism to the New Deal.
They wPI stand up for their opposi
tion views, and ry to cooperate occa
ilonallv. One recent piece of publloltT which
the New alers did not like very
much was the s'ory about the presi
dent's political conference at the
White House. He hid a half dozen
political advisers In for a confidential
chat. Some of them were anry when
the story was published and began
personal inquiries to determine who
had told. If they find the culprit,
he will not, be Invited to the next
conference.
It did not jet out st the time, but
it la a fact ths- the White House
t-led to ret Kenr.eov : take over
lel'.ef entirely and ji up his secur
ities job Kentiedv is supposed to
:-.ave det,;ur-ed. savmc h;s present lob
was still in the formative staje and
hi wsnt.d to finish it. A compromise
-' e tab! -shea Aim In a general ad
visory capacity which will not lnWr
lere with his SEC dinars.
