Ruined by
Bob Frazicr, an cpR'hearl type editorial writer
who also likes mountain climbing, flogs and chil
dren, recently made the same point that Sydney:
J. Harris makes in his first "personal prejudice" j
elsewhere on this page today.
This is that WHAT a youngster reads isn't
nearly as important as the fact that he IS reading. ;
Bob wrote a little dissertation for his paper.!

ilp magazines westerns, mysteries, and so on
and how, so long as a boy was reading, he at

pVEN reading trash, Harris chimes in, keeps j
them out of serious mischief. And if they i
stopped reading trashy books this does not mean
they automatically will start browsing through
"Coriolanus" or "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm."
"No kid, bov or girl, was ever ruined by a
book. Write that 10 times on the blackboard," ;
Frazier declares.
We've done our own share of reading stuff;
which had a fairly low moral tone. We still do,
alas, uiion occasion. But when we were younger

A great man, a groat
Freudian
Sigmunrl Freud and his successors in the
arcane arts of psychiatry have probably done as
much as any others to make a change in the way
modern man thinks about himself and his fellows.
Much of this change is good, and liberating.
It has helped many people to take a more natural
look at themselves and their surroundings, to lose
some of the fears and inhibitions with which so
ciety has been loaded since ancient times, to
understand a bit more about themselves.
But not all of the change has been good. In
some cases it has resulted in a permissiveness
that is destructive of morality and of ethical
standards, anil in other cases has blurred the line
between free will and a new sort of pseudo-scientific
determinism.
A7'E ARE deeply convinced, Freudian gobble
degook to the contrary notwithstanding,
that each human being has a certain though
perhaps limited control over his own person
ality, and thus over his own destinies.
Perhaps he did suffer repressions and frustra
tions as a child; still, as a thinking adult he has
the potential for the self-control to rise above
them. To the degree that he does not do so, he
is failing himself.
It is obvious that some people do not have the
will power to do such a job of self-improvement,
but we believe that most of them have at least
the potential.
IF THE historv of humankind teache;
i lesson at all, it is that
heredity ;tml environment, triven the strength, de
termination and abilities to do so. That most men ,
have not is the failure of one of these three,
things inner strength, ability, or determination.
Of this triad, it seems to us the most im-.
portant is determination. From determination,
oftentimes, comes strength, ami from these two,
ability.
Whatever the condition of a man savin:;"
only that of real idiocy he has the latent power
to improve himself, if only he will do so. This
does not mean, of course, that any man can b. -come
rich or famous; but it does mean that no
man need be content only with "his lot" in life,
or to drift, morally, giving; limp excuses.
TTO FOLLOW the thinking of some Freudians
to their logical conclusion is to arrive at a
sort of fatalism w hich is as bad as, perhaps woi .-e
than, the theological fatalism of an earlier aire,
a fatalism which believes that man is wholly
troverned by built-in drixes, unavoidable Uos
and f rust no ions, and an inherent inability to
overmaster them.

, negotiations. They have seen
! for themselves that failure to
reach a lest ban is not all dua
to Western foot-dragging.
Khrushchev may want to
wipe out some of these im
pressions with a new propa
ganda campaicn on peace and
arms-cut designs.
Moreover. Khrushchev has
not int with Kennedy since
their tou4h conference in Vi
enna, two years ;:2o. He h3
since boen confron ed with
the new administration's de
termination to resist Soviet
pre--ure in Berlin.
What a new summit meet
ing could produce is a matter
for coniecture so far. But
Khrushchev has made it cleat
he wants more talks befora
signing tile peace treaty with
his Communist E:jst German
allies.

tary session, a private meet
ins of influential Conserva
tive backbenchers was almost
exclusively occupied over af.
tor-dinner dnnKs with Mr.
Macmillan's successor and
with the delicious thrill ot
woniierini; just how Ions tha
old boy could keep it up.
For a British Prime Min
ister docs not depend on tha
country to keep him in power.

has yet told tha
story of whal happened when
Anihonv Eden resigned in tha
hcclie davs that tnllowed ihe
invasion of Suez. But a power
lui and energetic group of
backbenchers united then to
freeze R. A. Butler out of
what looked to be a sure suc
cession and installed Harold
Macmillan. Since, with con.
summaie political skill, he has
given the party internal sta
bility, voles in the country at
large, and a comfortabla

pUT JUST as in those West
African tribes where de
mocracy consists of the right
to depose the leader when he
gets feeble or unpopular
enough, democracy inside tha
Tory party consists of a quiet
coup against the Prime Min
ister. Mr. Marmillan is not a
younn man and a! the drop of
a hat he will explain what a
killing physical pace is re
quired of a government min
ister. He is leading a party
that is seriously disaffected,
reflecting an electorate that
doesn't know exactly what it
wants but seems sure it
doesn't want what the Con-
! servaiives are offering today,
j The chances are that if the
j common Market negotiations
; co sour fesnerialv fnllnwinc a
commitment to ioin), so will
Mr. Macmillan. He could hand
over to someone else in tha
cabinet and allow a junior to
lead the party into an uncer
tain future. If t he economic
situation sours, nitto. If tha
government makes any major
internal mistakes, ditto.
Until thc day ho goes, Mr.
Macmillan remains all-powerful
within his own house, de
spite the talk of a veto power
now vested in his three lead
mg cabinet members. Ha
could well hang otl to see how
ice next election turns out.
