To Consider

By THOMAS DRAPER
Criteria for investment in the
Indian economy were discussed by
Prof. Arnold C. Harberger of the
University of Chicago Thursday
at a meeting of the University
Economics Society.
Prof. Harberger, back from a
year in India, said that it is neces-
sary to establish criteria because
one half of the investment is in
the public sector of the newly
developing Indian economy.
The total productivity and ben-
efit of a public project should be
used as criteria for investment,
rather than the private return on
capital, Prof. Harberger explained.
Dual Role
The productivity of capital has
a dual role for investment deci-
sion, Prof. Harberger said. It is
a measure of the contribution of
additional investment to economic
growth, and it is a criterion for
project evaluation.
"The current rate of productiv-
ity demanded of power and ir-
rigation projects is in the order
of three-five per cent per year.
If this is an accurate measure of
the social productivity of capital
then capital must be a negligible
factor in economic growth," Prof.
Harberger said.
The typical quality of the un-
skilled labor in India would imply
a low productivity of labor, he
said. If the productivity of labor
was assumed to be zero, the pro-
ductivity of capital would be in
the neighborhood of 30 per cent
per year.
Analysis Assumption
In his analysis, he assumed that
the productivity of labor is re-
flected by wages. Then the produc-
tivity of capital ranged from 10-17
per cent.
He said that the immobility of
labor is a major problem of the
Indian economy.
"A farmer who does not own
his land makes around 200 to 300
rupees. A rickshaw driver (an
occupation requiring a minimum
of skill) in the city receives 500
to 600 rupees."
Suspicion
Prof. Harberger said that there
was a tremendous suspicion on
the part of Indian intellectuals
towards the price mechanism. He
ning Needed
Entering Law

cited historical and intellectual
grounds for this view.
"For a hundred years prior to
independence the Indian economy
had a freely operating price mech-
anism. During this time it did not
achieve a substantial increase in
the per capita income.
"Indian intellectuals were train-
ed at a certain time and at a
certain place. Although Fabian
economics lost acceptance in Eng-
land during the 40's, it has deep
roots in India."
He said that many actions taken
by India start to make sense when
viewed with respect to mild-
socialism economics. He said that
one specific result of this philos-
ophy is the general belief that
profits are immoral.
Bullard Notes
Middle East
Vulnerability
"Today in the Middle East there
are many small states, each hav-
ing its own hopes and fears and
capable of being easily hurt," Sir
Reader Bullard, former member of
the British Foreign Service and
former director of Commonwealth
Studies at Oxford University, said
Thursday.
Speaking on "The Middle East
and West Since 1945," Bullard not-
ed that among the most important
problems of the Middle East to-
day are those of foreign affairs
and economics.
"Some states are extremely poor,
while others have great wealth
from resources such as oil," Bul-
lard said.
Provincial Proficiency
He maintained that democratic
government in the Middle East
may be far in the future, but young
people can practice government
operation at a provincial level. In
local government they can attain
proficiency in practical affairs and
not depend on mere oratory.
"The formation of voluntary so-
cieties, offering information on
various aspects of national gov-
ernment and accomplishing some
needs of society which government
cannot meet, is another means of
practicing for democratic govern-
ment," Bullard went on.
It is a mistake to think that if a
country draws up a framework for
democratic government, it will nec-
essarily be established, he said. An
attitude for democracy is also
needed; and of all Middle Eastern
governments, only Turkey has
made a serious attempt to estab-
lish something like democracy,
Bullard explained.
Speaking on the 1955 Suez
crisis, Bullard said that the refusa
of the United States and Great
Britain to help Egypt build the
Aswan Dam infuriated Premier
Gamal Abdul Nasser.
Even if the British had reached
some settlement, it could have
been repudiated by Egypt as sign-
ed under duress, he added.
Toward Democracy
"The Persian government has
not advanced far towards attain-
ing a democracy. But one law, now
in the process of being put into ef-
fect by the agriculture minister, is
a step in the direction of democ-
racy," he noted.
It requires the breaking up o
large estates and will help narrow
the gap between rich and poor
Bullard explained. "Such progres
in a country which has been so
slow in developing is very impor
tant."

Views Need.
To Examine
Moral Ideas
BY DIANE GAC
"It is both necessary and desir-
able that higher education be con-
cerned with searching out and ex-
amining moral issues," Prof. Wil-
liam W. Jellema of the education
school said Wednesday in one of
a series of lectures sponsored by
the Office of Religious Affairs. '
Prof. Jellema defined a moral
issue as a choice between two or
more alternatives which demands
personal decision that cannot be
based on facts alone and which
has future consequences for one-
self or for other men.
"The ability to perceive moral
issues and to make decisions about
them is essential to man's human-
ity," he said. "Education ought to
be concerned with making a man
a full man.",
Not Fully Human
Education that does not teach
morals can produce an intelligent
being who is something less than
fully human, he added.
There are other reasons for the
need of a moral education. Prof.
Jellema pointed out that intensive
study and research in any seem-
ingly non-moral field create and
re-discover moral issues.
For instance, through scientific
research, nuclear weapons have
been evolved, and the moral issue
of war is not only revived but
magnified in scope and conse-
quences, he said.
Decision Incapability
Never has moral decision been
so important as in our technical
age, yet never has man seemed
to be so incapable of making de-
cisions, according to Prof. Jelle-
ma. Technology has weakened tra-
ditional morality by bringing man
closer to the difference in moral
codes in other parts of the world,
he explained.
Rapidtechnical advance has
exaggerated in the modern gen-
eration an already impoverished
sense of history, Prof. Jellema
maintained. To the adolescent, the
way of life and the moral princi-
ples of the past generation are ob-
solescent; to him the parental
model is not so much wrong as
irrelevant.
Prof. Jellema expressed impa-
tience with the type of academic
objectivitiy which is sterile and
static, saying that the men of the
academic world should show them-
selves to be men of conviction.
Group To Host
Detroit Church
The Protestant Foundation for
International Students will host 50
members of a Detroit Negro church
t in Ann Arbor today.
The visitors, who will be guests
of local church members, have
been invited as a reciprocal ges-
ture stemming from the Detroit
Negro church's invitations to Uni-
versity international students in
the past few years.
Kloetzli To Speak
On Urban Matters
The Lutheran Student Center
and Chapel will present a series of
lectures by the. Rev. Dr. Walter
f Kloetzli, secretary of urban church
v planning for the National Luther-
, an Council. He will speak on "Urb-
s an Renewal" at 12:15 p.m. today
and on "You and the Urban Chal-
lenge" at 7 p.m. tomorrow in the
chapel.

CHEMISTRY:
Pharmacy College
Initiates Program

By PHILIP SUTIN
The pharmacy college this year,
inaugurated a program leading to
a bachelor of science degree in
medicinal chemistry.
The new program differs from
the standard pharmacy program
in that it requires four years of
study instead of the standard five

and that it substitutes more the-
oretical chemistry and physics
courses for practical pharmacy
courses, Dean Tom D. Rowe of the
pharmacy college explained.
The program substitutes a year
of mathematics, physical chemis-
try and a language as well as a
course in organic qualitative chem-
ical analysis for some pharmacy
requirements and drops such
practical courses as pharmaceuti-
cal management, he said.
Not Qualifying
Dean Rowe noted that this pro-
gram does not qualify students to
take the state pharmaceutical ex-
aminations necessary to become a
registered pharmacist.
Noting that this is the only such
program in the country, Dean
Rowe declared that it "should
strengthen the position of the col-
lege in the area of medicinal chem-
istry."
He said this study is concerned
with the relationship and inter-
action between drugs and human
chemical and biological mechan-
isms.
Other Aims
It also attempts to correlate the
relationship between chemical
structure and biological activity
and the physical properties of
drugs, he explained.

The state Council for Social
Studies, the Bureau of School
Services and Extension Service are
sponsoring a conference today,
called "Teaching About Commu-
nism."
The conferees will register at
8:45 a.m. today, adjourn at 11:45,
meet again at 2 p.m., and adjourn
at 3:45.
The four simultaneous confer-
ences, meeting on the fourth floor
of the Rackham Bldg., are "The
Geography and People of the So-
viet Union," by Prof. George Kish
of the geography department;
"The Economics of Communism,"
by Prof. Alexander Eckstein of the
economics department; "The Ide-
ology of Communism," by Prof.
Frank Grace of the political sci-
ence department; and "The Gov-
ernment of the Soviet Union," by
Prof. William B. Ballis, director of
the Russian studies center.
At a Michigan League noon
luncheon, Senators Stanley G.
Thayer (R-Ann Arbor) and Thom-
as F. Schweigert (R-Petoskey) and
members of the state department
of public instruction will discuss
the teaching of Communism.

ticipate back and forth with your
courses is an essential one for fu-
ture lawyers.
Recommending that students
take any courses which will help
them write clearly and simply,
Prof. Law said that "the Perry
Masons you will meet are very few,
and far more of your legal work
will involve well organized writ-
ing which allows people to under-
stand what you are trying to say."
Forensic Ability
Speaking ability, however, is
still important and students should
take courses in college which al-
low them a chance to express
themselves before their fellow stu-
dents. "Any chance on campus to
get involved in forensic activity
will aid future lawyers in learning
to express a point to an audience,"
he added.
Courses in such fields as his-
tory, economics or political sci-
ence offer a good basic background
for lawyers.
"Usually most people at the top
top of the field have good
backgrounds 'in other things than
just law. You should pursue other
interests in various departments
and not merely treat them as ob-
stacles to a degree," Prof. Law
said.
Accounting
Accounting is a necessary part
of a pre-legal student's back-
ground, since often lawyers are
called upon to analyze figures
from an accountant's point of
view, he added.
Speaking on what law schools
demand of students, Prof. Law said
that "law schools will demand ar
innate intellectual ability. Law is
a relatively intellectual field, and
in practice you will meet some 01
the finest minds in your life."
Law school will also demand the
ability to work at a-harder pace
than in undergraduate years. I1
will require a student to have or-
ganizational ability, seriousness o:
purpose and self - discipline, he
said.
