DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN
TWO SCHEMES:,
NRPB Presents Plans
For Post-War Learning
THE NATIONAL Resources Planning Board,
which made headlines not long ago with its
"cradle to grave" security plan, has offered two
bright and shining proposals on post-war higher
education which certainly do not deserve to be
hidden under a bushel.
Briefly the aim of the proposals is to assure
youth the right to carry on their education as
far as they profitably can without being barred
by economic circumstances.
What are the proposals? The NRPB suggests
that equal access to general and specialized edu-
cation be made available to all youths of college
and university age. Today fewer than half of
the nation's youth who are able to do acceptable
college worl now continue their education be-
yond high school.
THE SECOND RECOMMENDATION has two
phases. Somehow, someway, students must
receive a greater amount of assistance, and in
some manner there must be more new junior
colleges and technical institutions established to
take care of the increased number of youth going
to college.
Members of the "old school" who maintain
that it isn't the duty of the government to edu-
cate youth beyond high school, will find those
days gone forever.
For if this American democracy is to sur-
vive as we know it, if the youth of the nation
are to believe that they have an "equality of
opportunity" they cannot be denied the right
to a higher education.
It will be up to the government-and that
means each and every citizen of the United
States-to supply them with an actual realistic
chance for higher education. It should not be
otherwise in America.

COOPERATION.
U.S. Must Play Part in
Post-War Reconstruction
THE PROBLEM of world relief and rehabilita-
tion, which will prove to be no small part of
post-war reconstruction, is at last receiving due
consideration.
The United States Government has sent a
draft agreement on this problem to the govern-
ments of the United Nations for their considera-
tion and comment. When replies have been
received, a conference will be called to discuss
the questions involved and to set up an inter-
national body to prepare for the work of relief
and to carry it on when the times comes.
This move on the part of the United States
will undoubtedly arouse bitter opposition from
some of our would-be democratic citizens who
view this move as just another instance of
Uncle Sam's playing the role of Santa Claus to
the rest of the world.
But this is not the case. The agreement em-
bodies the plan that all nations that are capable
of giving assistance to needy nations will cooper-
ate in the amount and destination of all relief.
THE IMPORTANCE of this move cannot be
overestimated
Whatever is done in the post-war world
concerning political and economic control, will
be virtually useless unless the people in the
occupied countries receive adequate food and
clothing.
At least 9,000,000,000 men, women and chil-
dren have been transferred from their homes to

By Jason
Y LAST YEAR'S roommate was up against
a pretty tough decision. He ended up with
the conviction that two more years of Engine
School were not for him: he will receive his
Navy wings this month.
Don, whom I'm rooming with now, has some-
what the same alternatives. He can go on this
summer as an Aeronautical Engineer-or he
can fail to ask for another deferment, and end
up as a buck private.
He's thinking seriously of the second possi-
bility. A private has his future pretty well
planned out for him-none of this "will I be
here next semester?" stuff. And he's got a lot
more company than an engineer-in civilian
clothes-will have on campus this summer.
It's a tough spot.
On the one hand, you have the undoubted fact
that the country needs engineers (and chemists,
physicists, what have you.) They say that again
and again-and they're still coming through
with those 2A deferments.
Then, in many cases, though not in Don's,
the parents put the screws on. They'd like
to see son get a degree from the University of
Michigan, and they don't want to be thwarted
by the war. So they pull the old arguments
out of the bag, and tell son to sit tight, and
not get hysterical. (They wouldn't admit,
even to themselves, that they're thinking along
those lines. But it looks that way.)
So your engineer has parental pressure ap-
plied. He knows the country needs trained men.
And he has his own feeling that the University
of Michigan is a lot more pleasant place to spend
three years than an Army camp. (Or he had
that feeling. Now, he's not quite so sure.)
He is in a wonderful position to rationalize;
under the influence of parental pressure and his
own grim picture of Army life, he'll apply for
that 2A classification.
Or maybe he won't. Maybe he'll see his
friends marching off, and begin to wish he
were in the parade. Maybe he'll picture to
himself the situation when the casualty lists
start piling up-and he's still around, in civil-
ian clothes. He might even get so restless that
he'll do anything-even flunk-to get out of
this place.
THAT is the set-up, the decision which Don,
and the other engineers and technical men
in his position, have to face. It's a decision, I
think, which they should never have to make.
Perhaps an engineer sincerely believes that
his place is here at school. Suppose he's right.
He then must be willing to take the odium of
being a "draft-dodger." He's got to be willing
to see his friends go overseas, while he stays here
and studies. After the war, he'll have to say,
"Oh, I was in engineering school while the fight-
ing was going on." I'd say that it takes as much
courage to face all that as it does to join the
Army.
It is a decision which the engineer will prob-
ably always regret, whichever way he makes
it-whether he chooses a slide rule or a uni-
form. For that reason, I feel that he should
never have to make it-that the government
should make it for him.
If they want him to study engineering, they

Pd Rather
Be Right
By SAMUEL GRAFTON
NEW YORK, May 8.--(P)-Most of the argu-
ments over the size of the army are irrelevant,
incompetent and immaterial. It is all like a
gigantic guessing game, as if there were one
"right size."
And it is tco cosy an argument, remote and
withdrawn from reality. What army are they
talking about, all of them, from Mr. William
Green to Mr. Herbert Hoover? Why, they are
talking about next year's army, the army of
1944. Men inducted this summer can hardly be
used until next. It is a sign of the unreality of
this debate that it should mentally skip a whole
year of war to begin with.
It is not the size of the army next year, but
the use of the army this year, which will
determine the whole future, including the
size of the army next year.
If we go into Europe this year, as the Casa-
blanca conference foreshadows, and if our in-
vasion sticks, the problem of military size dwin-
dles to easy manageabiliy. If we delay a year,
and if a Russian disaster intervenes, the prob-
lem will mushroom up to unforeseeable dimen-
sions.
Mr. Hoover thinks we ought to take a large
number of men out of the army'this summer, to
grow more food. There is no suggestion in his
statements that this might block the invasion
of Europe, might give Hitler the operating edge
he needs, might complicate our problem so that
we might need twice the army we have next
year. Mr. Hoover has the most uncanny way of
leaving the war out of his discussions of the war.
Mr. William Green's approach to the war
turns out to be almost equally tidy.
He thinks we have to leave a certain num-
ber of men in war industry, put a certain
number in the army to do the fighting, and
keep a certain number working on civilian
goods to preserve our "civilization," whatever
that means. He is for a perfect "balance."
If a nerfect "balance" calls for a smaller
army, then he is for a smaller army. The
problem is balance. I would have thought
the problem was victory.
How can a man sit in a room and think up
these things? How can anyone dare to make up
a war out of his own head, an imaginary, handy,
convenient little war, and never listen to the
clamor of the real war, whose bloody, sweaty
disorder and strategic demands of the moment
will wait for no man's blueprint?
In neither Mr. Hoover's view nor Mr. Green's
view, as publicly expressed, is there any sense of
the chanciness of war, of the possible tragedy of
missed opportunity, of the urgency of the mo-
ment. It is all schematic, formal, a business, in
which we can set the timetable and do pretty
much as we like.
If it turns out that a smaller army would be
easier to manage, well, well, isn't that interest-
ing, and let's have the smaller army. There is
scant feeling that retribution for a mistake
might be prompt, terrible and overwhelming.
The morale of both men is much too good.
There is too little feeling that the final
decision as to the size of next year's army will
be made by what our army does this year.
If our army engages in genuine coalition war-
fare with Russia, this year, then we may avoid
the need for a greatly larger army. If it does

THE RELATION of Christian faith
to Western culture engages many
minds. By Christian faith is meant
different interpretations, ranging
from the tight logical Christianity
which stems from Thomas Aquinas
to the bold realism of Alfred White-
head or Roy W. Sellars. How may
the Christian society or the Church
come to enrich the human soul, in-
dicate dire tion in the field of values
and give hope and certainty to us
Americans? Here is a major prob-
lem for seers and prophets. Recently
A. Campbell Garnett of Wisconsin
wrote a helpful book entitled "A
Realistic Philosophy of Religion."
Moving away from the whole theory
of revealed religion and deserting the
customary dialectic of the neo-ortho-
dox Protestants which is having a
rather popular run, due to such lead-
ers as Emil Brunner. Adolph Keller
and Paul Tillich. Garnett outlines
for us an organismic philosophy in a
fashion which has brought forth
much wholesome comment.
His book merits thorough study.
The author is a Theist cordial to
scientific fi ndings and is as thor-
oughly devoted to psychology as to
philosophy. It has been prepared as
a college undergraduate text; hence
a full statement cannot be expected.
But the scientist who is looking for
a Christian ethic which comes to
grips with present-day moral prob-
lems and the educator or sociologist
who is in search of meaningful val-
ues as well as the student of religion
who is hungry for a validation of his
Christian spirit, in a day when me-
chanical exactness and power seem
to overshadow the Kingdom of God,
will all find help in it.
IF religious faith on the part of
University men is to make a
contribution when life is desperate
and our 'fellows play for tremen-
dous stakes, we will need to dedi-
cate our minds to God, review seri-
ously every tenant we have em-
braced, and try out the toughest
challenges we find,lHe would seem
to be mostwChristian who can as-
sume a full share of the ethical
and moral obligations of a society
at war.
Regardless of the question whether
our side is only "part right" and the
other side "not entirely evil," reality
centers where political systems rise
and fall, where theories are fought
out at remendous cost, and where
men die for what they believe.
"For tho' the Giant Ages heave
the hill
And break the shore, and ever-
more
Make and break, and work their
will:
Tho' world on world in myriad
myriads roll
'Round us, each with different
powers,
And other forms of life than
ours,
What know we greater than the
soul?
On God and Godlike men we
build our trust."
