U.S. Aids
Education In War .
ARAY OF HOPE to war-burdened
University budgets has revealed it-
self this week in a $50,000,000 subsidy proposed
by the United States Office of Education. In its
present form and stage of realization (it is
awaiting consideration by the Bureau of the
Budget and Congress) this plan proposes to aid
135,000 students in 200 colleges and universities
operating on the three-year graduation schedule.
Projected assistance will be given to fields of
engineering, chemistry, physics, production su-
pervision, medicine, dentistry and pharmacy.
There has been no administration set up for
this plan, since the education office will be
taking requests from institutions included on its
subsidy list. By leaving allocation of grants open
to the universities themselves-a move aimed at
debunking charges of "regimentation"-the gov-
ernment will be hazarding several purposes of
its investment.
IN THE FIRST PLACE, students have been as
hard hit as their universities. It would be
difficult to find any benefits to education if
universities were assisted in maintaining full
facilities while their students stayed out of
school because of insufficient tuition funds.
Juggling budget appropriations for a three-
semester year is no more a problem than stretch-
ing two semesters' tuition over three with no
income-producing summer vacation.
If this education office project is approved-
and its deficiencies do not outbalance its basic
soundness-then the universities will have to
strike a medium between aiding their students
and aiding their own facilities. Subsidized facul-
ties and laboratories operating at a peace-time
rate will be merely wasting government money
if some means is not found to enable a sufficient
number of students to continue in school during
a three-semester year.
THE EDUCATION OFFICE is also considering
plans for subsidizing liberal arts courses along
with such fields as adult education and com-
munity work. Although the engineer and the
physicist are of more material value in war-time,
there will be surely a need later on for men
trained in the humanities. Education, particu-
larly in colleges and universities, is one of the
most powerful forces towards fulfillment of
whatever idealistic war aims we have set up. No
government planning to aid education can afford
to skim the original purpose of educational.
institutions.
The office of education is faced therefore with
two major wrinkles that must be smoothed out
before its plan can be completely workable.
Firstly, it should give students some assurances
that this subsidy will help solve their education
problems either by more scholarships or reduced
tuition. And secondly, it cannot lose sight of the
very foundation of colleges and universities-
liberal arts education. "Trade school" training
is adequate and should be emphasized in war-
time, but hopes for a decent future cannot rest
solely on slide-rules and test tubes.

(Editor's Note: We feel that this exchange of
letters between Homer Swander, president of the
Student League of America, and a Navy spokes-
man in regard to Navy plans to engender hatred
of the enemy in aviation cadets deserves the atten-
tion of college men.)
The Honorable Frank Knox,
Secretary of the Navy,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
ACCORDING to a recent issue of the New York
World-Telegram, the Navy is planning to
retain psychologists to imbue aviation cadets
with war-time thinking--"engendering a hate
for our enemies and their methods."
The Student League of America-whose mem-
bers were interventionists long befoe Pearl Har-
bor, are now solidly behind anything which will
help in the war effort-vigorously objects to
such a program of "psychological" training.
Those of us who are going to fight this war do
not now, and do not want to, hate the German,
Italian or Japanese people. We hate their ideas
and what they stand for, certainly. But we also
realize that after the war is over we are going
to have to live in a world community with the
very persons we are now fighting; and we know
that engendering hate today will only pave the
way for a break-up of that community and
eventually another war.
FURTHERMORE, this is not a battle which
must be fought with a concept as negative as
hate. We will have a far greater chance for vic-
tory if our soldiers and sailors are taught that
the United Nations are fighting for the positive
concept of freedom. When a man comes to
understand the real. basic issues of liberty versus
slavery, of prosperity versus poverty, he will fight
with a vigor and a courage unmatched by any
hate-filled man on earth.
We appeal to you, then, in the interests of
victory and' permanent peace to immediately
stop any program of the Navy's which is designed
to instill hatred in the men of our armed forces.
Very sincerely yours,
(Signed) Homer D. Swander, Jr.,
President, Student League of America

WASHINGTON--Now that Gen. MacArthur
has left the Philippines, some of the secret facts
about moves to get him out can be disclosed.
Around the middle of February, the General
Staff in Washington suggested to MacArthur
that he leave the Bataan Peninsula, They "sug-
gested," because MacArthur is a full general,
and there is only one other full general in the
Army, the Chief of Staff, Gen. Marshall. Gen-
erals do not usually order each other, especially
when one is in the field and is considered the
best judge of what he is to do, unless he comes
to long range strategy.
The proposal of the General Staff had the full
sanction of the President, and a submarine actu-
ally was ready to take MacArthur and his family
from Bataan.
However, MacArthur replied that he was not
ready to leave yet. So the only way to transfer
him was by a direct order from the commander-
in-chief, namely Roosevelt.
At that time Gen. Wavell was still the supreme
commander of Allied forces in the Southwest
Van Paasseli rTalk

My dear Mr. Swander:
YOUR LETTER of February 21st, addressed to
the Secretary of the Navy, was referred to
the Bureau of Navigation for reply.
I quite agree with you that hate is evil, hate
is the currency of the devil and finally-if not
checked-it can be self-destroying. Modern war
means the suspension of sportsmanship and
chivalry-the Marquis of Queensberry rules are
destroyed. Yet, it would be very difficult for me
to conceive of U. S. Naval personnel participating
in such an act of treachery as that perpetrated
and executed by the Japanese on December 7th
against any potential enemy. Heretofore our
Navy has trained its men to fight honorably and
valorouisly for the Flag and Country. It is to
stir the fighting instincts of not only our armed
forces but our civilian population that we are
exerting every effort to point out the dangers of
the continuance of the amateur attitude toward
this life and death struggle, viewing it as though
it were an athletic game, contested under set
rules of sportsmanship. Ours is a difficult job
and the responsibility great. In these times, be-
cause of our psychological and ethical training,
it is hard to determine what conduct is accept-
able to civilized man and what would be con-
sidered beastly. We have always felt that the
noble thing was the right thing. We now pause
to question its adequacy.
I AM NOT as much concerned about our neigh-
bors and our own condition in the world
community after the war as I am about the
ethic of officially "engendering a hate for our
enemies." Yet, we are in a desperate struggle
for survival and though the proposition of engen-
dering a hate for our enemies will be frowned
upon by all cvilized men, we must not lose sight
of the fact that only on the soil of the United
Nations will you find civilized men. From your
and my point of view, the idea of engendering
hate for our enemies is not acceptable. Yet. no
one definitely knows, we only think we do, what
is the best psychological training for the purpose
of winning this war; for win it we must-even if
it means the official engendering of hate for
our enemies and their methods and leaving fu-
ture world community problems to the future
world community. I suspect you agree with my
personal point of view on this.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) L. E. Denfield, Captain U. S. N.
Assistant Chief of Bureau
. Pacific, and the defense of Australia had not
yet started. Moreover, there were few American
troops in Australia to command.
Later, however, the President sent word to
MacArthur to prepare to leave the Philippines
as soon as he could readily do so, and take com-
mand of all the Allied forces in Australia.
Note-Meanwhile, certain anti-Roosevelt Sen-
ators were berating the President for allegedly
keeping MacArthur in the Philippines because,
they said, he feared the general as a political
opponent. One Democratic Senator, whose re-
nomination Roosevelt vigorously opposed in the
famous purge of 1938, actually remarked at a
dinner table: "We are demanding that Roose-
velt bring MacArthur back, but I hope he keeps
him there and MacArthur is taken prisoner.
Then the resentment of this country will be such
that we can sweep this man out of the White
House."
.Jadam Secretary
Secretary Perkins appeared at a secret Senate
Labor committee meeting the other day, follow-
ig which Chairman Elbert Thomas told re-
porters that she had testified on "labor coopera-
tion" in the war effort. However, the Utah
Senator took care not to disclose that another
matter had been discussed which would have
made a much hotter news story.
Miss Perkins was asked bluntly when she was
going to resign.
Further, she was asked the question by New
Deal Senator James Murray of Montana. Mt-
ray tossed this bombshell while the Secretary of
Labor was chattering away about the efforts of
her conciliation service to end disputes in war
plants.
"Most of the letters 1 receive criticizing labor
can be traced to business interests," Murray sug-
gested at this point. "Don't you think that this

is all part of a cleverly-devised propaganda cam-
paign by some of the big industrial leaders to
stir up trouble and undermine public confidence
in labior?''
"No, T wouldnt go so far as to accuse industry
of trying to stir up, trouble," replied Miss Per-
kins, apparently nettled by the interruption.
"'I'm als ge~tting a lot of letters about you,
Madam Secretary," continued Murphy unper-
turbed. "Workers in my state and elsewhere are
not satisfied with your administration of the
Labor Department, and frankly would like to
see you get out. Both factions of labor are agreed
on this, but apparently you have not been im-
pressed by their wishes."
By this time the room was as silent as a tomb
and Murray, looking Miss Perkins squarely in
the eye, asked bluntly, "When do you plan to
resign?"
Miss Perkins' reply was a defiant toss of her
head and an angry glare at Murray. That was
all. She said nothing.
Chairman Thomas, startled speechless by
Murray's question, hastily came to Miss Perkins'
rescue. le changed the subject with a request
that she submit a report on the number of man-
hours lost because of labor disputes last year.
