yHE House of Commons on Feb. 6 rejected,

government's policies threatened to provoke
"grave industrial unrest." Demand has been so
great for the pound in recent days that the Bank
of England has had to sell sterling for dollars
in volume to keep the pound's value under the
official ceiling of $2.80.
On other questions of fiscal policy in the past
month, the government has won three test votes
in Commons by more' than the Conservative
Party's comfortable margin of half a hundred
seats. So even if Labor goes on to win a second
by-election at Kelvingrove, near Glasgow, next

Married Teachers, Pupils
There was a time, and not so very long ago,
when, if she married the public school teacher
lost her job. Then it was discovered that the
happily married woman was just as good a teach
er as the spinster and, if she had young children,
was apt to make a better teacher, particularly in
the lower grades.
With the increasing number of weddings of
classmates before they get their high school
diplomas, the question has arisen whether the
young married should be allowed to remain in
school. The Supreme Court of Mississippi, in the
first appellate decision bearing directly on that
point, has ruled that students who have married
cannot be barred from public schools.
TTHE argument that marriage brings views about
life "which should not be known to unmar
ried children and should not be passed on to
them," was declared fallacious by the Mississippi
court. It noted that marriage was an institution
"highly favored by law." The court found it
praiseworthy that married
should wish to continue their studies and sug
gested that unmarried pupils would be "benefited
instead of harmed" by association with them.
Courses in sex education have not been uni
formly successful in keeping adolescents out of
trouble and parents as a rule show no great com
petence in imparting the "facts of life" to their
children. It may be that high school students can
best acquire the needed knowledge from happily

It possesses the power to
issue little pieces of paper

little pieces of paper are pre

TUT in this respect at least.
the great religions never
convinced the majority of
those who thronged their
temples and cathedrals. Un
til the end of the 18th cen
tury, or thereabouts, any na
tion that was strong enough
to subject another nation
and the cause, of the hesita
tion was never moral.
"It serves our interests,'
was a perfectly satisfactory
justification of imperialism
until the great change start
ed. This was in the last cen
tury when the imperialists
began to say of their sub
jects, "we only subject them
for their good." The change
had some odd consequences,
such as virtuous Queen Vic
toria's angry demands for the
bloodiest possible measures
to suppress the Indian Mut
iny, for the Indians' "own
good."
For another century or
thereabouts, the imperialist
nations had the self confi
dence or thickhided smugness
(take your choice) to drown
the first signs of dissidence
among their subjects in
floods of their subjects' blood
always "for their own good.'
But it was the death knell of
Western imperialism when
the democratic empires began
to feel a queasy distaste for
expedient massacres.
rTiHE other explanation of
UA 1 J 4.1. 1

perialism is that "you cannot
defeat the new nationalism
of the modern age." It is ob
viously silly nonsense, as any
one ought to be able to see
after the blood tragedy in
Hungary. Any nation that has
the power to do so, and is
willing to commit a massacre
when necessary, can hold an
other nation in subjection, in
our age as in the past.
But one nation cannot hold
another nation in subjection
if it Is only willing to make
war on its subjects "legally"
and according to a set of.
rules. The dissidents may be
a small minority, such as
the French maintain the Al
gerian rebels are a minority
today. Great forces may be
deployed against rebels, as
the French have done. But no
amount of force or toughness
or determination will bring
success as long as the mere
pretense is maintained that
"law abiding subjects are
safe."
As long as this is the
theory, the rebels, or at least
enough of the rebels, cannot
be located and killed. Thus
the rebel organization sur
vives. The rebels have no
qualms about killing anyone
whatever. Thus a few thous
and rebels may inspire more
fear among the inert masses
than a vast imperial army,
In the end, even the most
"loyal" members of the sub
ject race, fearing the rebels
more than their masters, end
by serving the rebels in se
cret. And in these circumstan
ces, no rebellion can ever be
finally suppressed.
SUCH are the hard and cruel
underlying facts of the
present situation of the West
ern nations that grew great
as empires. Precisely because
the facts are cruel, they are
not faced. Westerners are
too soft-spoken, nowadays,
ever to say forthrightly, "If
we want to keep these peo
ples in subjection, we must
commit an occasional massa
cre; and if we don't want to
commit an occasional massa
cre, we must set these peo
ples free."
National failures to face
facts always lead to highly
irrational and immensely
costly compromises. And pre
cisely because these compro
mises are costly and irration
al, they produce such epi
sodes as the Franco-Tunisian
crisis.

column generally brings de
served compliment both to
himself, the Mail Tribune,
and other newspapers he
serves.
However, correction is need
ed on his guess of a split on
Nez Perce Dam between pub
lic power leaders and other
conservationists.
As early as December 10
1954, the Northwest Public
Power Association advocated
a moratorium on building the
Nez Perce Dam, proposed by
the Army.
Again on November 6, 1957,
our Association adopted a
resolution calling on Con
gress to authorize a two-year
Army study looking toward
ultimate comprehensive devel
opment of the Middle Snake
River and "showing the rela-
tionship to fisheries and other
conservation values."
To my knowledge no one
advocates immediate building
of Nez Perce Dam. Contrary
to Mr. Smith's implication,
the National Hells Canyon As
sociation in the Mountain
Sheep and Pleasant Valley
hearings did not urge imme
diate construction of Nez
Perce Dam.
We want the door left open
for comprehensive develop
ment in the reasonably near
future. Incidentally, the Ore
gon Water Resources Board
has now asked for a mora
torium until 1965. We hope
a solution will be apparent be
fore that date.
Meanwhile, we join with
other conservation groups in
urging Congress to authorize
a two-year Army study of the
Middle Snake River with
emphasis on solving the fish
eries problem. We think this
is in the best public interest

they will rule jointly.
Both moves were hailed
by their sponsors as dramatic
steps toward Arab unity.
Actually, they appear to be
promoting disunity.
The kings of Iraq and Jor

tion as a defensive move
against the ambition of Nas
ser to make himself the mas
ter of the entire Arab world,
extending from the Middle
East to Morocco on the Medi

Yemen Will Join
Tiny Yemen is expected to
join the Egyptian-isyrian
union soon.
The two little states of Ku
wait and Bahrein on the Per
sian Gulf are talking about
joining the Iraqi-Jordanian
federation.
Just how the two unions
could-do anything to promote
Arab unity, it is difficult to
see.
The fact is that there is
only one uniting factor in the

Naturally, the Arab kings

Foreign Countries Unhappy
An interesting feature of
the Egyptian-Syrian and Iraqi

no foreign country, West or
East, is very happy over them.
The United States and its

French cannot stop.
Open Door
King Saud of oil-spouting
Saudi Arabia is really the
key man to the future of the
Iraqi-Jordanian merger. He
wouldn't join. Kings Hussein
and Feisal in the union of
crowns proclaimed last week
but the 22-year-old cousins
have not given up hope. The
new constitution leaves the
door open for Feisal of Iraq
to step down as "senior king"
if Saud can be persuaded to
join.
If he does, well over half
of the Middle East's vast oil
deposits would be "unifjed"
under one loose but potent
federation. As a power bloc
it would win a loud voice in
the East-West politics and
oil economics.

Russia Fears Merger
Russia fears that the Egyp
tion-Syrian merger may harm,
and not help, its interests. For
one thing, Nasser has done
business with Russia for his
own interests. He does not
tolerate Communist activity
in his own country. He is be
lieved to be worried over the
strong pro-Communist trend
in Syria, and he may do some
thing about it now.
The Egyptian-Syrian mer
ger is rather an artificial one.
The two countries are widely
separated by Israel and Jor
dan. Yemen, which may join,
is separated from both by
Saudi Arabia.
At least, Iraq and Jordan
have a common frontier and
both adjoin Saudi Arabia,
whose King Saud may decide
to hook up with them. King
