his school, liberal thinkers of the time. Of its
300 professors, 170 were sent to concentration
camps, where many of them died. The Univer-
sity of Warsaw has been ransacked, and its
equipment sent to Berlin. The University of
Prague has been shut down. Poles and Czechs,
conquered races, are to be denied freedom of
education, and be made serfs to the master race.
ALL OF THESE REPORTS show only more
vividly the extent to which freedom and
culture has died out in Europe. Democracy is
gone, and with it liberal thought, progress, and
the liberty that Americans covet so. All the
more vividly, too, the reports show our respon-
sibility in keeping freedom of thought and de-
mocracy alive in the western world.,
Europe-all of the Old Countries-has lost de-
mocracy and freedom of thought and education.
The two go hand in hand, without one the other
cannot exist. When free thought is denied, the
first step in losing democracy has been taken.
And when education is regimented to suit the
ideas and desires of a few, then democracy is on
its way out.
WEcannot let that happen here. It can hap-
pen here, and at times in the past it has.
But now the suppression of free thinking, of '
liberal education would be fatal. Ours is the
duty to protect democracy for the rest of the
world, to keep burning the lights of liberal cul-'
ture and progressive civ4i ation. We are the
one remaining lighthouse oa: a world flounder-
ing in a sea of regimentain and denial of lib-
erty. And the light of freedom and democracy
on these shores, which recently flickered all too
often, must never go out.

WASHINGTON - Wendell Willkie's under-
cover tribulations with Republican politicos dur-
ing the campaign continue to dog him.
Latest development is a sputtering of ire
among National Committeemen when they heard
that Willkie considers it his right to name the
successor to National Chairman Joe Martin,
who wants to quit in order to give all his time
to bssing the House Republicans.
It is a long tradition in both parties that the
presidential nominee may name the National
Chairman, who in practice is his campaign
manager. Willkie picked Martin, and now takes
the position that he also is entitled to select
Martin's successor.
But to the hard-headed, political professionals,
a candidate running for office and a defeated
candidate are horses of entirely different colors.
The first is a potential incumbent who may have
patronage and favors to dispense, and therefore
commands the right to call the tune. But a de-
feated standard-bearer is a has-been, and the
boys are not interested in faded hopes.
SO WILLKIE'S CLAIM to continued party
leadership is meeting with very glacial re-
sponse. When he told some of the National Com-
mitteemen that they should name the man he
wants, the boys tactfully, but pointedly, replied
that the National Committee is an elected body
and alone has the power to fill a chairmanship
vacancy. Willkie's views, as well as those of other
p arty chiefs, would be considered but the time
was past when he was giving orders.
The politicos resent what they consider the
'larn inference in Willkie's attitude that he in-
tends to assert control over the party machinery.
If that is his thought, he apparently is headed
for trouble. The regulars, the hopefuls with
their eyes on 1944, and the congressional leaders
have plans of their own.
SECRETARY OF COMMERCE Jesse Jones
wasn't exaggerating when he predicted that
this would be the most prosperous Christmas in
history.
Economists of the' Federal Reserve Board,
Commerce and Labor Departments estimate
a Yuletide business season surpassing even the
peak in 1929. According to their private figures,
dollar sales will about equal 1929, but business
volume will be considerably heavier (1940 price
levels are nearly 20 per cent lower). That is,
each dollar spent will buy about one-fifth more
than it did in the last of the boom years.
THIS IS the way the experts forecast the
Christmas season:
Employment--Because of the vast defense
program, employment will be greater this month
than at any time since 1929, with more than
37,000,000 (excluding temporary Christmas em-'
ployees) on private payrolls-an increase of
1,400,000 over December, 1939.
Payrolls-Manufacturing payrolls will be 12
per cent greater than last December. That means
$25,000,000 more a week will be paid in wages
to industrial workers, and much of this money
will flow into the Christmas trade.
Retail Trade-Sales generally will be from
8 to 10 per cent greater than 1939. Department
store sales will be 5 per cent more than last
Christmas, but still under record-breaking 1929.
Onthe other hand, mail order and variety store
sales will be the highest in history.

Freedom Of Thought
And The United States
DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN

T HE UNIVERSITY has given more,
than lip service to the ideal of better
cultural bonds with Latin American nations
when it established the exchange fellowship
agreement with the Instituto Brasil-Estados
Unidos of Rio de Janeiro.
Added to other scholarships awarded for
foreign students, especially from the Near East
and the Orient, the agreement was the first"
of its kind provided for students coming from
nations in the Western Hemisphere.
By the agreement reached with the leading
university of Brazil, three students, a research
agent of the ministry of education, a staff mem-
ber of the National Library, and a teacher of
administrative law, came to the University to
continue their studies in the Graduate School.
In exchange, a teaching fellow in geography,
a graduate student in Latin American history
and a teacher engaged in educational research
were sent to Brazil by the University..
Additional impetus was given to the project,
when two fellowships were provided this year
with added stipend. In response to the request
from the American Institute of International
Education, the Graduate School also awarded
two tuition scholarships on the basis of com-
petitive examination.
Brazilian students in law, medicine, educa-
tion, and library science have come here to gain
more professional knowledge, while graduate
students of the University in social and scien-
tific fields or research are given the opportun-
ity to study problems from primary sources.
More than professional training will be gain-
ed as these students and the University as a
whole comprehend the need for cosmopolitan
knowledge and international - understanding.
With the inauguration of tbaese fellowships, the
University has expanded its international in-
terest to our neighbors to the South and taken
its share in the effort to build up the intang-
ible Western Hemisphere defense of goodwill
and cooperation.--Rosebud Scott

RTICLES in the recent "exiled writ-
ers" issue of the Saturday Review of
Literature naturally stress the freedom authors
have found in America. They give a fresh im-
pression of what freedom means, and of the real
worth of institutions that Americans too long
have taken for granted.
Heinz Pol, exiled German liberal now in the
United States, writes of the "contrast between
the free culture of America and the hell from
which we have escaped." More than ever before
he noticed this contrast when he first visited
the New York Public Library. He. had known
that New York had a library, of course. But,
he writes, when he first entered the place he felt
strange and at once at home. "There was some-
hing universal about it-something European
as well as American-but where in Europe are
such institutions left?"
H ERE IN AMERICA we accept free public li-
braries as a matter of course . We assume

Dominic Says
FHE YEAR 1940 has witnessed your acts and
mine. Soon the annual page can be turned,
How any act takes place and what its ingred-
ients are is one of the major inquiries in ethics
and religion as in sociology or psychology. A
basic fact which seems to be conceded by all
of the contenders is that (1) what we are
learning, that is, an idea, a theory, some event
which has our interest, figures in the making of
that act, and (2) the drives or instincts figure
in the making of the act. An environmental
element floats about within my personality, as it
were, until some one drive envelopes it and
energizes it. Then the act on my part takes
place.
IN RELIGION and ethics this is significant be-
cause religion deals with the ideal rather than
the idea; with the meaning made very inti-
mately personal; 'with speculation about the
imponderables taken hold of by faith with at-
titudes of head and heart.
A youth in his development is somewhat like
a string being pushed from behind by all the
vast driving energies of the race, the culture
patterns of behavior, and the native life it-
self. In this native state the youth, as a string,
must curl up, become confused, turn upon him-
self in destructive behavior within, and perhaps
upon society in delinquent behavior without. But
if we can provide that youth with an ideal, a
religious grasp or purpose, a belief in the good-
ness of the Universe itself and the availability
of God-the interested Infinite-we will have
set a pull ahead of him which can save him.
Religion, in so far as it provides an ideal which
gets a youth's affection, is the growth prin-
ciple luring youth into high purpose, noble ad-
venture, lofty thoughts, and creative activity.
