Post-War Education
ONE of the best plans to come out of this war
has been the opportunity for education of re-
turning veterans, both men and women, of the
Army and Navy.
Extensive plans have already been made
throughout the country and it has been called
the largest adult education program ever con-
ceived and effected in our country. These plans
have been divided into four phases: The Unit
School, Army Technical School, Army Univercity
Study Centers, and the utilization of certain
foreign universities formerly frequented by
American students in peace-time study pursuits.
here before, surveys have shown that only
4.6 per cent of people in the United States
were college graduates but with the plans
now being conceived everyone returning
from the war will have a chance for higher
education. This has been mainly brought
about through the passage of G.I. Bill of
Rights and various preparations of state
administrations.
New testing plans are under way in colleges
and schools for crediting entering veteran-stu-
dents based on new special examinations worked
out in cooperation with the University of Chi-
cago, the examinations evaluating achievement
in both specific subject and technical fields. The
coordination of all these G.I. plans will provide
a stop-gap to the manpower demands for men
and women n the upper educational levels and
simultaneously will give continuity to our na-
tional educational pattern.
Even for those men and women now in the
service self-teaching texts have been worked out
with the American Council on Education, and
110 colleges and universities.
Realizing that veterans will return to
school under the handicap of having been
away a long time and being out of the reg-
ular routine of study, flexibility, rather than
softness in administration of admission
standards and individualized curriculum
after entering, is being planned.
An individualized curriculum stimulating
alertness, vigor and a capacity toevaluate evi-
dence will serve to get the veterans back into
the swing of studying and along with this side
a plan of unobtrusive supervision and develop-
ment of initiative in handling veteran education
is being developed.
The success of the G. I. Bill has already been in
evidence throughout the country in schools
where veterans are entered. More than 600 vet-
erans have already been registered in courses
offered by The New York City Board of Educa-
tion and at this University more than 100 vet-
erans have taken advantage of their new op-
portunity.
Let us hope that when the war is over
every schooi will offer educational ad-
vancement to the veterans and that there
will be no opportunity for demagogic groups
to exert undue influence over the fate of
returning veterans.

Segregation?
A CORDING to an official announcement
By DREW PEARSON
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 - If Vice President
Thomas Marshall were alive today, he would
reaffirm what he said in Woodrow Wilson's day
-that "what this country needs is a good five-
cent cigar."
Looking over the aftermaths of the late cam-
paign, its rancor and its political wounds, this
columnist suggests that what this country needs
is a good Dolly Gann social war-something to
take our minds off politics.
Now if Mrs. Henry Wallace could just be per-
suaded to get into a row with Mrs. Harry Tru-
man as to who should sit where at dinner, we
would all have something to talk about. If only
Senator Truman could be persuaded to issue a
statement that, as Vice-President-elect, he con-
siders it the prerogative of his wife to enter the
dining room ahead of Mrs. Henry Wallace! Then
we could begin to forget our troubles.
Things weren't so tense in the Hoover Ad-
ministration, and folks weren't thinking so
hard about war and politics. But even so,
Vice President Charlie Curtis patriotically
came'forward with an official announcement
that his half-sister Dolly Gann, was entitled
to sit ahead of the wife of the Speaker of
the House of Representatives, Mrs. Alice
Roosevelt Longworth. And Mrs. Longworth
patrioticaly did her bit by boiling over with
resentment.
The country had a marvelous time and nobody
worried about anything else for weeks.
Hair-Pulling Contest .,.
Mrs. Truman and Mrs. Wallace also are patri-
otic people, and they might give this idea serious
consideration. They ought to consider seriously
the fact that we have had too much rowing
among quarrelsome old men. Governor Dewey
has emphasized it, the columnists have written
about it. It's an old, old story. So what we really
need is a good hair-pulling contest between two
lovely ladies.
It is true that Mrs. Wallace and Mrs. Tru-
man are good friends. But they can put
friendship in the background for the good of
the country. It is true also that Vice Presi-
dent Wallace, despite what must have been
bitter disappointment for him at Chicago,
swallowed his personal feelings and went
down the line for Roosevelt and Truman like
the good sport and real gentleman that he is.
But despite that, we think the Truman and
Wallace families might well put patriotism be-
fore personal affection, and do something for
their country.
Entertainment for Nation .. .
Furthermore, t has never been decided yet
where a Vice President and a Vice-President-
elect should sit at dinner in relation to each
other. Hitherto, one of them was usually out in
the sticks and didn't come to Washington until
Inauguration Day. They never came to grips at
the dinner table. But now, we are faced with
the fact that, in the Senate, Henry Wallace will
sit on the dais and preside, while Senator Tru-
man will be down on the Senate floor looking up
at him.
That doesn't seem right. Here is the Vice-
President-elect who has been chosen by the peo-
Reciprocal Trade
OUR trade with foreign countries shows some
evidence of becoming a two-way street
again, a consummation devoutly to be wished if
the years ahead are to bring real plenty for
America and the world. This means more than
lend-lease in reverse, which is essentially an
anomaly of war supply; foreign countries need
to ship us goods for civilian use, the proceeds of
which can be used for goods or services for them,
if there is to be a real stimulation to that multi-
lateral interchange which benefits all.
Imports recently received from Italy may be
a harbinger of this implementation of an econ-
omy of plenty. The Foreign Economic Admin-
istration reported the other day that these ship-
ments, worth about $1,500,000, included wine,
perfume, oils, briarwood, red squill (a powerful
rat poison) and argol. FEA says these will be
followed by "increasingly larger shipments."
That even Italy, whose economy was
gutted by the retreating Nazis to the point
that each month we ship her tens of thou-
sands of tons of food and clothing for her
distressed eviian population, can resume ex-
porting, speaks well for the recovery ca-
pacity of a prostrate people.
The Combined Chiefs of Staff and the Theater
Command have not yet deemed it opportune to
permit private trade with Italy, so the Allied
Commission bought the goods on the spot and
shipped' them to the U. S. Commercial Co., a
former RFC subsidiary now under FEA, as its
agent. Private trade channels will be employed
"to the fullest extent that is possible and prac-
ticable" in distributing the merchandise.
This should prove a useful step. The words
Secretary of the Treasury John Sherman
used some six decades ago, in quite another
connection, apply to international trade:
"The way to resume is-to resume."
-St. Louis Post Dispatch.
ple-with the help of Hannegan, Kelly and
Flynn-and he should not have to sit on the
Senate floor looking up at the man he has edged
out of the Vice Presidency.
Of course, Henry Wallace always gets
tired presiding over the Senate after the
first hour and usually turns the gavel over
to somebody else, frequently to Harry Tru-
man. But this isn't good showmanship. It
isn't right. It doesn't help entertain the
American people.
After all, the American people have something
coming to them. They have really taken it on
the chin. They have argued, yelled, listened to
the radio, read the columnists, and finally voted
in the toughest election since Abraham Lincoln.
This campaign actually was much harder on
them than on the candidates. The candidates
only had to make the speeches. The American
people had to listen.
So they deserve reward. And we think it is up
to the Vice President and Vice-President-elect
to oblige.
It used to be said that the Vice President
was the diner-out of every Administration.
But in these war days, when manpower is
short and everyone is doubling up on work,
the Vice President should take on the extra
job of being the chief diverter of the nation.
We hope the Truman and Wallace fam-
ilies' patriotism will be equal to it.

D nic s
COMMUNTY is a prime condition of human
freedom. Without community, personality
stagnates, virtues sicken, interests shrivel and
action dies. Because of this, the studied accept-
ance of obligation is basic to life. Hence the
train, the club, the chapter, the home, the
church. He only can really live who takes on
responsibility, sets about serving others and im-
merses himself in that stream of attainment
which we call society. So extreme are certain
modern philosophers in the realization of this
fact that they declare God to be interdepend-
ence. He is not primarily creator nor sustainer
nor the configuration of man's ideals nor the
power which gives unity to the whole, including
persons, groups and movement, but God is mu-
tual support. Such is the extreme theory. (Read
Whitehead, Wieman or Meland.)
Regardless of the truth or falseness of
that philosophy of religion, it tends to bring
the transcendent Deity in from His abode
beyond time and outside history. In thus
making us sensitive to the familiar phase of
life itself, one becomes aware of the binding
necessity of community. We may well ask
about four spheres of loyalty? For example,
two men trust each other, and friendship re-
sults. In the glow of it, personality deepens.
However, this community which two or more
by great care finally created just by loyalty,
one can destroy. Then both personalities
suffer.
Again, where a family is created by the shared
affection of a man and a woman, community has
its chance to flower and to complete personality.
But it is a very sensitive affair. It is not neces-
sary that both persons abdicate. But one per-
son needs to desert or despoil the relation and it
becomes instantly as dead as if never born. One
can destroy what two persons through delicate
prolonged behavior brought into being.
The same is true in the community called com-
merce. The money owner and a banker agree.
While each contributes that function perculi-
arly his to offer, all is well and personal commer-
cial living goes on with ease, even beauty. How-
ever one can default. It is not necessary for
both the bank and the depositor to fail. One can
kill what two make alive.
A similar example is seen in the nation. When
a political plan becomes my civic home and I
become a citizen, two of us have obligated our-
selves, the state and the citizen. In that trans-
action, a type of freedom is made possible on
conditions which the state must sustain and I
must honor. However, it all goes to pieces either
when that civic unit fails me or when I weaken
in the performance of my civil obligations, how-
ever humble.
One always has the freedom to destroy
that community in which alone he can really
fully develop. Here is the pathos of a demo-
cratic system. Freedom of this civic type
being germane to security is germane to per-
sonality. Therefore, every language dramat-
ically has put a premium on loyalty and as
dramatically has affixed invidious titles to
each transaction which prevents commu-
nity. In the repudiation of mutual obliga-
tion, the friend becomes and ingrate, the
mate descends to deserter, the client be-
comes a thief and the citizen turns traitor.
Community creation is not a luxury but a
necessity. In that creativity alone can per-
sons find the freedom essential to spiritual
growth and domestic tranquility.

I read the article by Malcolm Bin-9
gay to which you refer in your Nov-
ember 16 Daily. My impression wasb
that Mr. Bingay contends that the
radio is not shackled and that the.r
New Republic contends it is.r
Unless Mr. Bingay's article differedr
in the Free Press delivered to Mr.
Rosenberg, author of the Pendulum
which contained the headlines, "Bin-
gay Considers U. S. Radio Shackled,"
Mr. Rosenberg is all wet.
Let us quote: The New Republic-
"No one can doubt that the ownersa
of most of the radio chains and in-t
dependent stations would have fav-t
ored Dewey in this campaign if they t
had dared." "Luckily for the people1
however, they exist by sufference of
the Federal Government which allo-
cates wave lengths and they are1
therefore compelled to maintain neu-l
trality." In other words, they are
shackled.I
Now let us quote Mr. Bingay in his
article: "There is not one instance
wherein the Roosevelt administra-
tion has ever attempted in any way,
shape or form to coerce, intimidate
or even influence any radio station
to give it an advantage on the air."
"Never at any time in our history
was there more complete freedom of
speech and freedom of press." Where
are the shackles? -Joseph Little

HITLER, Himmler and Co. are
reported to be using sailors on
the battlefield. This is an admiral
situation.
The way the new offensive is
going, we can just hear the Nazis

This is a stern situation.
Reichsmarshal Goering is said to
