New SlantI.. WITH a highly idealistic flourish the American government has committed itself to granting complete independence to the Philippines Islands this summer. And, if no Filipino'or American has the courage to demand a delay of the final decree, the United States will plunge headlong into one of its most serious diplomatic blunders. Certainly I believe in Philippine Indepen- dence, as do the Filipinos themselves, but ma'ny of them have now come to realize that a delay of from two to five years is essential to the prosperous future of that country. The simple fact is that the Islands are economi- cally destitute and that at least five years will be required to reconvert the country to the peacetime agricultural economy which previously supported the people. ASIDE from her moral obligation to rebuild the Philippines, the United States must, of diplo- matic necessity, launch her protege into state- hood in the best possible style. For some months now Congress has had under consideration a bill to provide funds to aid in thze rebuilding of the Philippines. How much more easily the bill might go through and how mch more efficiently such reconstruction could take place if American con- trol were maintained temporarily. That the poli- tical situation in the Islands is not altogether serene can be seen from the outbreaks in central Luzon where the whole question of land reform threatens to come to a climax after the election next month. Any American funds administered by the Philippine government are bound to arouse criticism and touch off long standing disputes among the 18,000,000 people. PHILIPPINE commerce badly needs American supervision and assistance. To date only drib- lets of goods have been unloaded at Manila and even less is being exported from the country. Too, the entire question of tariffs on exports to the United States is still to be studied and a just and .adequate solution worked out. How can independence be delayed? There is no obvious answer in sight. Although many prominent Filipinos favor the delay, it would still be political suicide for any Filipino leader who suggested it to the American government. Manual Roxes, the favored candidate for the Presidency in next month's election will certainly not jeopardize a bright political future. In fact, it is doubtful if he wants to, since he is backed by the financial interests of Manila who favor indepen- dence for their own gains. Aging President Osmena, who has so far stayed on a middle-of- the-road policy might conceivably make such a request shortly before his term expires, but his standpat position makes this highly improbable. MERRY-GO-ROUND: Army and A-Bomb By DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON.-Capitol Hill today is more besieged by lobbyists than at any time in years. Big utility lobbyists are working against any increase of federal power, even passing out nylons to Congressmen's wives to win votes. The American Legion is button-holing senators in favor of military conscription, and the railroad lobbyists are pulling wires in favor of the Bul- winkle Bill which exempts the railroads from anti-trust suits. One of the most efficient though secret lob- bies, however, is that conducted by the Army to secure control of the atomic bomb. Army lobby- ists have been sitting down for quiet talks with Congressmen to convince them that atomic ener- gy is not safe in the hands of the scientists who developed it, must be placed in the hands of mili- tary men exclusively. Scientists on the other hand, unskilled at politics or activity outside their own labora- tory, have been outsmarted at the lobbying game. Anyone whotakes the trouble to talk to them, however, gets an interesting story on how the atom bomb was developed, which shows how little the military did. Actually, the real story of the A-bomb's devel- opment by civilians from all over the World is still little known. Early in 1939, Dr. Leo Szilard, a Hungarian scientist, and Dr. Enrico Fermi, an Italian anti-Facist, working as a team at Colum- bia University, made marked advances in estab- lishing chain reactions. They informed German- born Dr. Albert Einstein of their discovery. Einstein informed Russian-born Dr. Alexander Sachs, who, in turn, told President Roosevelt of the new developments. Roosevelt, recognizing its importance, set up a coordinating committee to investigate atomic energy. There was no secret about atomic energy at that time. Scientific reviews carried all the latest information about its development. An ob- scure scientific journal called the "Physical Review," published in April 1939, carried an article by Szilard under the fantastic title of "Instantaneous Emission of Fast Neutrons in the Interaction of Slow Neutrons with Uranium," which told the whole story. Few non-scientific Americans read the article, but its contents were communicated throughout the world-including Russia. Szilard was working largely on the basis of information originally developed by Dr. Nils Bohr, a Danish scientist, the father of atomic energy, whose return to the united States the Army is now trying to prevent. NOTE-The brass-hat atomic bill gives the military a nine-year term of office, and makes their removal from the Atomic Commission al- most impossible. The civilian control bill which Truman is backing permits the President to remove any member of the Commission at the discretion of the Chief Executive. (Copyright, 1946, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc) Domfinic Says In religion, two very different views of educa- tion are always before us-the evangelists sup- porting the former, and the religous educator, the modern teacher, the sociologist, the parish priest, and the psychologist embracing the other. The evangelical view is that growth of soul constitutes education. This is inexplicable, mystical, per- formed by hidden forces and is too sacred to be examined. The poets and the artists are inclined to line up with the evangelist in this theory. The instrumentalist view is very different. With those of this school of thought, the teacher and his methods constitute educa- tion. Education examines life's energies as a phase of the growth of soul, becomes familiar with how personality develops. Thus men can make external conditions unfavorable or favorable for that spiritual transaction called soul growth. Those who hold this view insist that no mystery is too sacred to be examined by man; they see many who are ignorant and this ignorance they insist is an offense to God. Supplant ignorance with knowledge and we will both reduce or understand the mystery and increase the probability of growth. The religious educator takes this positive attitude and does it to advance Christiantity. He quotes from the parables of Jesus as illustra- tive of the Master's rare skill and he uses the teachings of Jesus. He insists that the fact that Jesus chose and taught disciples and sent apostles should justify the school.process. He appropriates the whole Biblical series from the books of the Pentateuch to the pastoral letters as curricular sources. He studies situations, scrutinizes the purpose in original cases and by both induction and deduc- tion arrives at a law or principle. He not only repudiates the person who expects to "get saved" without mental effort, but insists that salvation is the grace of God accepted by man. He holds that grace, while-basic, is but the starting place for a renewal of mankind by faith, knowledge and works. He goes farther and says that spirit is mind, but it is mind functioning in the selec- tion of values. Therein he sees "worth-selection" as worship; and God is thought of as the ultimate pattern or ideal, toward which man must move to be happy, contented or secure and to reach his destiny. Edward W.

THE WHITE DEER by James Thurber. Har- court and Brace, 1945. 115 pages. DENIS BROGAN in The American Character whimsically speaks of Thurber as "one of the acutest American sociologists." He has hit on the thread that is continuous in all of Thurber's art, prose and cartoons. Frcm Let Your Mind Alone, through Fables for Our Times, to Men, Women, and Dogs, Thurber has been laughing at the foibles of sophisticated modern man with a dry, rather somber, fanciful humor which is perfectly in tune with the times. In The White Deer, a fairy story for grown-ups, he continues to laugh. He has all the trappings of mystic adventure; an Enchanted Wood, a Fairy Princess, castles and dragons and quests, and a happy ending. It sounds not so much like Grimm, however, as like Thurber. His description approaches poetry, as for example, this pearl, "They began the long ride home across the pale and perilous plain- across the valley of violets, over the ruby ridge and the misty moor, through the fiery fen and the golden glade and the bronze bog and the silver swamp-". The whole of the book is in a singing prose rhythm which abounds in repeti- tion, alliteration, figure, and all the literary devices which can be used to carry you, the reader, away from this world. It is like Thurber that the characters and problems of the story bring you right back. For Thurber, even in this new world of his, continues the satire. The characters remain Thurberesque, a little bit sad, and wonderfully funny. There is the Good King Clode, who roars orders repetitiously because he is unhappy that they are not alaways carried out. There is the ex- Royal Astronomer, Tocko, who is worried over the speed with which time flies. There is the Royal Recorder, the King's legal and economic advisor, who explains learnedly that "Sorceries run in cycles." There is the Royal Physician, torn by his duo-personality as his own doctor and his own patient. And there is young Prince John, who is a poet. Each of these characters comment upon the modern pretense to efficiency and science, carried a little too far. Man is not as complex as he pretends, says Mr. Thurber. In The White Deer, you will rejoice in the beautiful prose, be enchanted with the knowingly innocent air of the story, and be left with a teas- ing temptation to regard the characters and the story as allegorical on a moral and social level. You will be amazed to find that a story so deli- cate, so subtle in humor, can not only make you laugh, but will also make you think. -Martha Bradshaw KICKS & M COMMENTS misiikissimae eie s ssie e:m!ssasm THOSE OF YOU who were on hand to follow such matters last year, should have no trouble recalling Jo Stafford's recording of "I Didn't Know About You." It inpresed me as a good effort; Miss Stafford is an honest singer, and she has a slick way with a phrase. This accolade is included here because she's turned lots of others just as good, along with a solo album this month. It's -a Capitol release, with the ubiquitous Paul Weston leading the background music, The ones I liked best were "Yesterdays", "Georgia On My Mind," and "Alone Together", but there are five other sides to choose from. Query: why have there been only three recordings of "Yesterdays" through the years since "Roberta"? JUST IN PASSING: Two Gershwin albums are out and around, one by Billy Butterfield and his band on Capitol, and a jazz concert by Condon and his men on Decca. The treatments, of course, are different, but the Condon one gets my nod, if only for Lee Wiley's singing and about 30 seconds of Edmond Hall's clarinet. Peggy Lee, backed by husband Dave Barbour and his orchestra, sings "I Can See It Your Way" and " I Don't Know Enough About You", in that slow way she knows so well. Also Charlie Barnet on "Xango", and a fine Columbia album of the Yale Glee Club. The "Whiff Song" is included, of course.
