It is important for society to avoid the
neglect of -adults, but positively dangerous
for it to thwart the ambition of youth to
reform the world. Only the schools which
act on this belief are educational istitu-
tions in the best meaning of the term.

There Are Walls
Around Austria.
A FOREIGN correspondent's work is
becoming simpler from "coup" to
"coup." The routine of the foreign correspondent
assigned to cover one of the fascistic countries
now consists of reporting to the publicity de-
partment or propaganda office, either in Berlin
or Rome; getting his quota of news which is
doled out like food rations; rewriting the releases
for the cable; and drowning his conscience in
anticipation of the time when he will be free to
report news, with its traditional connotation.
Walter Duranty, Edgar Ansel Mowrer, Vincent
Sheehan, Herbert L. Matthews and others have
seen the position of the foreign correspondent
degraded by censorship bureaus in foreign lands;
most of them have come out of these countries
to clear their consciences with a series of books
and articles giving the true perspective as seen
by them.
The latest of these is G. E. R. Gedye, recently
ejected from Austria for his "unreasonable"
attitude, who gave his version of the news sup-
pression in last Sunday's New York Times.
He writes: "From within the country it was
impossible to give a coherent acount of what
was afoot . . There is no question about the
German attempt to prevent Austrian news from
getting abroad. I heard Herr de la Trove, press
chief of the Reich in Vienna, in announcing
my expulsion from the country, tell my colleagues
that those not prepared to 'take a reasonable at-
titude' had better leave the country before they
shared my fate. In Berlin the head of the press
bureau has stated that in the future news must
be centered there."
So Mr. Gedye hied off to London, after his
expulsion, to write that 34,000 arrests were made
in Vienna accompanied by Nazi terrorism, that
the reports that "unrest had broken out among
the workers on the day of Chancellor Shusch-
nigg's fall-the stories which were made the
basis for the fiction of Dr. Arthur Seyss-Inquart's
'invitation' to come in and restore order issued to
the German troops-had no basis. Other re-
ports on the arming of the Popular Front were
equally baseless."
It is fortunate that there are such reporters
as Mr. Gedye and others who have come back to
reveal the facts in foreign lands. It is equally
fortunate that there are those interestedin hear-
ing and reading of the truth--that there are
& few democratic countries which tolerate truth.
Irving Silverman,
The College Program
Needs Unity*...,
CAME TO COLLEGE to be went
with, but I ain't yet," said the in-
genuous country lass. We wish we were as cer-
tain of this education business as she was.
It is traditional for critics of the higher learn-
ing to arraign the student and declaim against
the tiny residuum dedicated to the professor
after the football team, the fraternity and the
c arfnlle n life havexta their tol
nouncing with an indifference to organization
and synthesis that is depressing to behold?
Confusion is perhaps the grimmest spectre
stalking the college cloisters today. Yet when
we attempt to put our house in order there
is. such a contradiction of opinion as to what
shall be cleaned out and what shall be left as per-
manent furniture that accomplishment becomes
virtually impossible and we . seek in vain for
some particle of Truth distilled from the heated
discussion and variety of suggestion.
It is a truism that the disjunctive pattern of
the present American university will continue
in an excellent state of preservation as long as
educational leaders profess philosophies so com-
pletely at variance. Witness the present line-up.
On one flank is Robert Maynard Hutchins, Chi-
cago's president who looks to the classics and
large slices of humanism as the panacea for the
ills of education. Directly opposed to President
Hutchins and probably the majority leader, is
Prof. John Dewey, Columbia's pragmatist, who
thinks of the university as a miniature commu-
nity dedicated wholly to the task of preparing
its residents for adult community life. Learning,
is doing, says Dewey, and all knowledge is given
directly by experience.
We :find ourselves neither on the Hutchins
nor the Dewey bandwagon. The Chicago pres-
ident talks of "the pursuit of Truth for its own
sake," as the unifying principle of a university.
He deals witha "hierarchy of truths" and we
ac'cuse him of authoritarianism. He would de-
vote an admirable diligence to study, but we
are chary of his mysterious, lone-standing Truth.
Truth; we contend, is rightful action, nothing
more. But we take issue with Professor Dewey,
fearful that his curriculum becomes too much
a manual proscription. Thus a recent announce-
ment said to have emanated from the publicity
bureau of Duke University reads: "Learning to
raise and lower windows with ease and grace is,
one of the activities included in a new course
of physical education began at the Woman's
College of Duke University last week Be-
cause of its obvious value, all first-year Duke
women will be required to take the course, it is
announced." Where, Professor Dewey, does this
"learning by doing" stop?
The answer lies perhaps in a reorganization
of the curriculum, as Prof. Norman Foerster,
of the University of Iowa has pointed out, with
emphasis on the great books, but with an eye
to their meaning in terms of modern social
needs and thinking. There must be a unified,
proscribed course of study, regardless of the
student-customer's howling. When allowed to
choose his own intellectual diet the undergrad-
uate, experience has shown, promptly chokes
from indigestion and proceeds toward intellec-
tual bankruptcy, as he threads his way through
the field of learning like a fleet quarterback
dodging or circumventing difficult subjects and
piling up a welter of disjunctive material that
defies organization or meaning.
Gothic buildings, rolling lawns of rich green,
cloistered quadrangles, expensive tobacco, crew
hair cuts, tinkling feminine laughter and swing
orchestras are fine things, but an exclusive club
can provide any of these. The American Univer-
sity has a separate purpose. It must organize
and fulfil this purpose,
Robert I Fitzhenry.
'Perspectives'. . .0
-A Review-
The first issue of Perspectives is an auspicious
one, and should be sufficient proof of the mag-
azine's worth to guarantee dontinuation of its
appearance on some sort of regular schedule. The
contents were limited rather sharply by printing
and publishing costs, but are for the most part
well-chosen, from the point of view of readability
as well as literary quality, whatever that means.
In the absenceof a local branch of the American
Institute of Public Opinion it is impossible to
state authoritatively what the campus reaction is,
but from what can be gathered by judicious eaves-
dropping, the attitude seems favorable.
The magazine contains practically everything
in the way of short pieces of writing. Harvey
Swados' extraordinary fantasy, Into The King-
dom of Freedom, is probably the most outstand-
mg work; it is certainly the most finished piece
of prose writing. The story printed is only the
last part of a longer fable, but enough is present
to make a fairly complete whole. Dennis Flan-
agan's vivid portrait of a company town as seen
through a chance victim of its brutality is also
of high quality. Hervie Haufler's freshman
Hopwood story, Terror, shows skill and promise.
Of the six poems published, four possess the
advantage of being readily comprehensible. Nor-
man Rosten's I Am Immortal in Cheyenne and
.John Brinnin's Drive Into Town are especially
notable. Mt. Rosten's poem, like Mr. Swados'
story, is a portion of a sustained work. Evolu-
tion, by William Gram, and The Teaching of
Poetry, by F. G. Cassidy, are clever and inter-
esting. Kimon Friar's The Poet Questions His
Symbols in a Time of Decision is unquestionably
a work of merit, but its appeal will be decidedly
restricted.
Of the essays, Mary Evalyn Owen's little ad-
ventures in the health examination line make the
most readable and entertaining article by an
easy margin, and compare favorably in signifi-
cance with the other two. Eva Tuttle's plea for
more and better American literature courses is
satisfactory, but any mention of the literary col-
lege curriculum immediately brings to mind far
more pressing needs of reform.
The attack on isolationism and collective secur-
ity by Jack Sessions strikes a rather false note.
Mr. Sessions devotes most of his article to dispar-
agement of collective security, which leads one to
think that isolationism was only introduced as a
camouflage. Mr. Sessions offers no solution
whatsoever to the question of preventing war; he
Ifeevnr to Me
Heywood roun
The wor. "smear" is being used too freely by
partisans of both sides in present political con-
troversy. I don't exactly know what it means.
Here I have before me "for immediate release"
a communication from the National Committee
to Uphold Constitutional Government.
And it begins, "The nation's No. 1 lobbyist's
attempt to .smear' all citizens who dare raise
their voices in protest against
his grab for more power is
an unprecedented piece of
effrontery."
Now, as long as the word
"unprecedented" remains,
that is all stuff and non-
sense. It might be an ex-
cellent idea if the American
political tradition imposed
some restraint upon the lan-
guage used in tough campaigns. We might arrive
more readily at solutions of our problems if
personalities were avoided.
But that is not the American tradition. It is
not the tradition now and it never has been. Very
sharp and biting things were said about the first
President of the United States when he came
into power. And surely there was "smearing" in
the days of Theodore Roosevelt. He called some
of his opponents "malefactors of great wealth."
And they replied in kind.
Even the genial Mr. Taft once made a speech
in which he pictured himself fighting for his life
against a flood of invective. Herbert Hoover was
harshly criticized, but not to the extent which
Abraham Lincoln was forced to undergo. There
were no weasel words in the days when Woodrow
Wilson was fighting for the League of Nations.
And No Blows Barred
One need do nothing more than attend a single
national convention to familiarize himself with
the ferocity of the phrases which are aimed at
members of the opposition.
This may be just too bad, but while "smearing"
is comparatively a new word, it is a familiar
practice in the American scheme of things.
This being so, it is generally held that a Presi-
dent of the United States must learn to take it.
It is not a job for wincers. I have never been a
partisan of Herbert Hoover's, but, I am quite
ready to admit that he got batted around more
than he deserved. But one of the reasons he
had to take much punishment was the fact that
he has never developed a good left jab or any
adequate defense against a right hook to the
,jaw. Being a shy person, it was his desire to
retreat. And that never does very much to
temper the wind.
Politically speaking, it is not a bad thing for
a national executive to get mad. In public con-
troversy, as well as in football, a good offense
may be the best defense. Of course, errors have
been made by Franklin D. Roosevelt and others
when they were incautious enough to let critics
get their goat. Possibly it would be a good idea
to build a small addition to the White House.
This might well be a solid steel stable in wyhich
the animal could be tethered.
Both (ame Out Fighting
But if the President of the United States is to
take everything 'Which comes his way without
blinking, certainly the same rule should hold for
those who set themselves up publicly as foemen.
For instance, here is Frank E. Gannett, "chair-
man of tle National Committee," complaining
because he says the President is smearing those
who oppose the reorganization measure. But
Mr. Gannett begins his complaint by calling
Franklin D. Roosevelt "the nation's No. 1 lobby-
ist." Who is smearing now?
Some day I hope that we will reach a level of
public discussion in which the debate will really
be restricted to the issues. In that age no one
will attempt to confuse the effort to achieve gov-
ernmental efficiency wth a drive toward Fascism.
And in all fairness I suppose I might add that in
that same golden age no President will say
anything which can be interpreted as a charge
that the opposition has been "purchased."
But until that happy day comes" I think that
both sides should be willing to accept the mode
set forth in "Macbeth,' 'and that the reasonable
slogan should run, "Lay on, Macduff, and damn'd
be him that first cries, 'Hold, enough!'"
I favor that system, because I have every faith
that Franklin D. can give as well as take it. In
fact, in my opinion, he can take on Frank E.
Gannett and all the members of Mr. Gannett's,
committee at catchweights every night in the
week and trim them. The very fact that Mr.
Gannett is looking wistfully toward the referee
may indicate that he is about to chuck it.
Senate Notes
Possibilities of a Presidential resignation due
to lack of confidence went glimmering at the
Tuesday meeting of the Senate. The two motions
on the docket entered by President Tenander, one
favoring the Child Labor amendment, the other
opposing the Vinson Big Navy Bill, were both
adopted by large majorities. Thus the President's
job is safe at least until after the spring vaca-
tion.

Another attempt was made to put the Senate
on record for State department representations
to General Franco to aid Ralph Neafus and other
former Michigan students presumably held by
The Editor
Gets Told .
To the Editor:
In any discussion, when a person
undertakes to speak as a member of
any profession, he implies that he is
speaking on the subject in his pro-
fessional capacity. His name andl
his status give to some, at least, of his
hearers or readers indications of the
value to be given to his statements.,
In a recent discussion in The Daily
on the Pope's request to General}
Franco regarding air raids, one of
your correspondents, C.T.P., present-
ed himself to us as a Catholic. In a
letter in The Daily (April 3) he gives
what might be called his credentials.j
In that letter appear certain state-
ments which it is hard to believe come
from a Catholic, in the ordinary
meaning of that term. To speak of
the Pope as a "human redeemer," as
your correspondent does, is indeed
passing strange on the part of a
Catholic. For Catholics, as indeed
for all Christians, there is but one
Redeemer, the Incarnate Son of God,'
Jesus Christ.
Church Uses The Bible
I
l
s
!,
t
Your correspondent further states
"the Catholic Church does not use
the Bible." Now, one has but to
glance at the Missal or Mass Book to
see to what extent the Church uses
the Bible in the Mass. It would re-
quire too much .space to go into de-
tails in this matter. Suffice it to say
that from the Bible, especially from
the Psalms, the Epistles and the
Gospels, she has taken a goodly por-
Lion of the words used in this, her
central act of worship. Furthermore
a casual examination of the Breviary,'
which contains the daily office of the
Church, will disclose how much the'
Church draws on the Scriptures for
the words of her services. In this
connection, it may be pertinent to
add that no Catholic Ecclesastical
Seminary is without its professor of
Scripture, that in every country where
there is a Catholic University or a
University faculty of Catholic theol-;
ogy, Scripture is taught and studied,'
that there is in Rome a Pontifical
Biblical Institute, admirably equipped,
conducted by eminent scholars to
which repair students from all over1
I the' world for graduate study of the
Bible in its every aspect. Whether
individual Catholics personally read
the Bible in its entirety with due fre-
quency, attention and zeal is an en-
tirely different matter which need
not concern us here. "I have learned
about the artificial ceremony" writesf
your "Catholic" correspondent. To1
a Catholic no ceremony of his church:
Mass, Vespers, Benediction, no sacre-
ment, nordevotion is an "artificial"
one. There is to be sure, an elementt
of art in any ceremony, as in the caset
of many human acts performed with
dignity and decorum, but a religioust
ceremony is not, as your correspon-t
dent seems to imply, an empty thing,
devoid of meaning, with no innert
significance, no outward manifesta-
tion of the spirit, no reverent ex-t
pression of worship towards God. N
So much for the "Catholic" view-
point as expressed in the letter under
discussion.
Concerning Kaltenborn
Another point, this concerning Mr.
Kaltenborn. The auspices under
which Mr. Kaltenborn may at any
time lecture and the size of his au-r
dience in any instance are in no
sense criteria of his credibility. That,
in his case as in that of anyone else
rests on totally different grounds;t
namely, the objectivity with whicht
he approaches and discusses his sub-
ject and the exhaustiveness of his in-
vestigation; it rests on whether he
has all the pertinent facts at his dis-
posal and whether his conclusion is
the only one possible in view of allt
these facts in relation to the complex-
ity of the whole situation.
With regard to one point in the
quotation from Mr. Kaltenborn, that
concerning the wealth of the Church
in Spain, may I refer to an article in1
The Commonweal (March 11, 1938)
'Church 'Wealth' in Spain,' by a
non-Catholic, E. Allison Peers, profes-
sor of Spanish at the University of
Liverpool. "For now nearly 20 years
I have spent over one' quarter of my
time in the peninsula," he writes in
