I THE M1.t1.liHl MAIN RAIL V T HUR$DAY, DECEMBER 16, 1954 EK FOUR C~E OUR III ftICIIGAN ~it ...... NEW YALE 'CELL' A Club for 'Conservatives': Island in a Sea of Pink? TT SEEMS that in today's society the only way youth can rebel against present trends is by adopting a "conservative" attitude. A recent editorial in The Chicago Tribune quotes Felix Morley, former president of Haver- ford college, as saying "Students are naturally revolutionary. Innovation, experimentation, iconoclasm-it is right and proper that all young men should lean toward these question- ing attitudes. In later years one comes to ac- cept the dictates of authority. But on the canie pus, surely, they may and should be question- ed." Morely was defending a Conservative society organized at Yale Law School. His theory is that nowadays, with the most popular political trends tending toward the radical, the only feasible way by which rebellion can be dem- onstrated is by turning to conservatism. SINCE THE "New Deal," governmental pol- icy has gotten more and more away from the old school of thought which shied clear of any kind of liberalism. Now, with Communism so close to us and socialism a controversial is- sue rather than the "hot potato" of yesterday, the Yale students apparently are taking the only possible way of questioning and refuting current practice. It is now the fad on many campuses to fight avidly for some kind of reform. The Yale stu- dents have denied the necessity of extremist methods in good government. .By doing this they are actually exercising their traditional right to rebel against present conditions. They are taking the stand that rebellion lies in a "middle road," protesting against the regimen- tation, investigation and the prevailing feeli-g' that a man must be charged with patriotic fire and wonderful new plans to be an effective politician. THEIR SOCIETY is expressing their rebellion. But this rebellion is a sensible one; it is one based on practicality rather than idealism. The Yale students have chosen the most in- telligent way of exercising their prerogative. They are advocating a workable, unified gov- ernment and they are doing this through tlWe unfortunately almost-forgotten medium of con- servatism. -Lou Sauer THE ULTRA-CONSERVATIVE Chicago Tri- bune has taken note, in an editorial, of a Conservative Society formed at Yale Law School. "The Yale society is exercising the tra- ditional prerogative of youth to rebel," says the Tribune, rationalizing their statement by claim- ing, "Socialism, misnamed 'liberalism', the New Deal and all other manifestations of the left wing spirit are in the ascendant." Of course, to the Tribune, the censure of Wisconsin's Junior Senator, the defeat of Mi- chigan's Kit Clardy and SAC approval of the Common Sense Party must all seem to point towards rising "manifestations of the left wing spirit." The "America-for-Americans" Chicago daily further states, quoting former President of Haverford College, Felix Morley, "Lectures and libraries are alike slanted toward the left and the campus traditionalist is almost as lonely as was the Marxist in my own undergraduate days." Although the editorial doesn't mention it, we can imagine the writer's dismay and contempt at the formation of the "Robin Hood Clubs" last Spring. Remember "Robin Hood's Merry Men?" They were formed in protest against right wing attempts to ban left-wing literature from libraries. ALTHOUGH WE'D like to agree with the Tri- bune that liberalism is in the ascendant, that once again after a brief flurry of hysteria we can speak out without the DAR, VFW, Mc- Carthy and the Tribune investigating us, we are not so optimistic. For instance, we find it hard to concur with their belief, "At most American colleges doc- trines misleadingly called 'liberal' are in the saddle." Perhaps the "liberals" referred to were the regents of Georgia University who last year suspended the student newspaper because it printed an editorial supporting anti-discrim- ination polces. Or perhaps they were the re- gents of any state supported Unversity, in- fluences largely by conservative business in- terests and state legislatures. The basic problem, perhaps, is one that has plagued the Chicago Tribune for quite some time-they have little conception of what the terms "liberal" and "conservative" really mean. To the Tribune, "liberalism" is "left-wing spir- it" while "conservatism" is "Americanism." This, it strikes us, is false. Justifying the Yale society, Mr. Morley ob- served, "Students are naturally revolutionary." The Tribune, no doubt thinking of the sup- posed acceptance of socialism, New Dealism, and misnamed "liberalism," adds, "To be in rebellion against orthodoxy, one must turn to conservatism." IT IS TIME the common myth that students are rebellious and revolutionary was exploded --polls have shown students generally tend to follow their parent's political views and we would hazard a guess that political feelings on this campus are decidedly conservative. We wonder how far the Tribune would go in upholding youth's prerogative to rebel if the rebellion came from the left rather than the right. What, for instance, would their reaction be to Labor Youth-League? --Lee Marks Free Speech Not a Red Invention Key Nations Should Get Most Aid By WALTER LIPPMANN IN WORKING out an economic policy for the under-developed countries, which is what the Ad- ministration is now doing, the least dfficult of the questions is whether the United States can afford it. If the United States could afford to spend $80,000,000,- 000 in the year 1945 to fight a war, it can afford two or three billion dollars a year to help keep the peace. The real bottleneck is not what the United States and the other capital exporting countries can af- ford. It is what each of the m'ny under-developed countries can ef- fectively use. For it would be easy enough, of course, to squander unlimited sums of money. But it is quite a different thing to find ways of investing and of lending money in ways which produce so- cially desirable benefits. There are, in fact, countries which are under-developed and poor, wanting the sheerest neces- sities of life, and yet so ineffec- tively and corruptly governed that a large part of the money given to them never reaches the people for whom it is intended. IN FORMING our new policy it will be useful, I believe, to adopt as a principal criterion the capacity of each under-developed country to use efficiently inves- ment and aid. Under this principle we would give the highest prior- ity to, we would lend and invest the most money in, those countries which can use money the most effectively. We should keep separate in our minds the contributions we make for humanitarian reasons and those which we make for political and strategic reasons. The more sharply the two op- erations are distinguished, the, better. For the client states, which have to be subsidized, are in fact so weakly governed that they can- not be aided except under some- thing very like a protectorate. But all suspicion of a protectorate must be removed if the new pol- icy is to work well among the in- dependent nations. T HERE WILL be suspicion that the new policy is not new at all, that it is only a new version of the policy of mutual security and the arming, the fortifying, and the committing to the West- ern coalition of the weaker nations. The best way to deflate that sus- picion is to found the new policy on the principle not of helping where the need is greatest and the weakness the most obvious, but of lending and investing where the prospects are the best. The prospects are best in the countries which have reasonably strong and effective governments, and also kind of modern industrial base and some technological ex- perience. The practical common sense of approaching the problem in this way will do much to re- move the suspicion, which our ene- mies will certainly do their best to spread, that we are shopping around the world for client states. By giving priority to the stronger, -and therefore to the more in- dependent governments, we can do much to show that our real object is what we say it is-namely, to promote as rapidly as possible un- der conditions of freedom the pro- gressive development of the under- developed nations. THE PRINCIPLE I have been arguing for may be describe4 as the key-country approach. This is in the realm of high policy a sound conception: not to think of ourselves as engaged pri- marily in building, plugging, and holding a damn of small states around the periphery of the Com- munist world-but to think of our- selves as one among several cen- ters of free power and influence in all the vast regions of Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America, that are not in the Communist world. Our difficulties in southern In- do-China illustrate these points. In order to pump substantial eco- nomic help into Viet Nam, there is need of a Vietnamese govern- ment that can administer the aid. But there is not now such a gov- ernment in Saigon, and only if and when one is put together, can we hope to take serious construc- tive measures for the improvement of the conditions of life. Moreover, though we are quite able to give substantial material help, it is not easy for the United States, dealing directly or in con- cert with France, to respect the sovereign independence of Viet Nam and at the same time to do anything efective about bringing into existence a government that can govern. We are in a difficult and deli- cate dilemma. We must realize fht - ~a " o if m i tP.C tothe DREW PEARSON:. " r , r. 3 . a ' r iJ 1-' ,.. . .. .. _ . , / ..

REGULAR SCHEDULE Ike May Seize Red vessels MORE AND MORE everyday, it seems, peo- ple tend to associate pleas for free speech with Communism. If one mentions that a par- ticular group is defending civil liberties or opposing loyalty oaths, he usually hears, "Oh, one of those 'pinko' organizations." It isn't really so surprising that such false associations are made. Lazy thinking does it all the time. But it is distressing that free speech is being smeared with red paint. There is absolutely nothing in communistic theory, practice of psuedo-communism, or Com- munist Party ideology that even vaguely touch- es on the principle of free speech. Freedom of speech is an Anglo-Saxon heritage. To asso- ciate free speech with Communism is to credit Communism with a principle to which it unequivocably opposed. THE ONLY thing for which we should credit Communism is its ability to confuse the American people into their pres'ent attitude of misunderstanding those who argue for free speech. Confusion is not a good thing, especially if we do not realize we are confused. The Com- munists have brought it about by shouting for free speech in tune with those who really be- lieve in it. And America, as the Communists no doubt planned, chose to believe that those who were sincere were copying the Communists when it was actually the other way around. This realization reduces the problem to one of differentiating between those who want free speech so as to confuse the issue on Com- munism and those who want free speech for its own sake. These latter realize, too, that Com- munism can destroy itself with its own illo- gical words and utopian promises, A PREREQUISITE to making any headway with the problem is to call a halt to the present confused thinking and hasty asso- ciations. Next resolve never to associate one who argues for free speech with Communism. If he intends to practice the free speech he asks, we'll soon know whether or not he is a Communist. If he is, let him keep on talking. Though you disagree with him profoundly, defend to the death his right to make a fool of himself. If it looks like people are believing his foolishness, stand up, take advantage of the freedom of speech you have helped preserve, and point out why he is foolish, Supposing he doesn't take advantage of the free speech he asks. Still let him alone. Pre- vent further confusion: don't call him a Com- munist, or even a 'pinko.' MUSIC At Hill Auditorium .. University Choir, Maynard Klein, conductor.

THE UNIVERSITY CHOIR'S annurl Christ- mas concert consisted of sacred music in diversified styles, but with a prevailing serious tone. Whatever flaws might have been present in the performance, the general impression was that the choir members loved singing and were enthusiastic about the music they were pre- senting. The Victoria motet which opened the program was sung effectively, with the tricky tempo change near the end well executed. The Gabrieli Omnes Gentes was also given a good performance, although it was not easy to un- tangle the contrapuntal structure of the work.j The Bach motet, Sing Ye to the Lord, is a short but powerful composition in a bright major to- nality, and with some of the most florid writing I have ever heard in a choral work. Here lay the difficulty in the performance. The passage- work in fast note values tended to become so much undulating sound, without the definition that it ideally should have had. However, much of the work came off very well, and it was not really a weak point in the concert. The Hymn to the Virgin by Benjamin Brit- ten is a simple and rather touching piece, with skillful choral writing. This was the second time I had heard Vaughan Williams' Magnificat, and I must say that it improves on rehearing. It's a rather curious and quite subjective setting of the famous text. But Vaughan Williams' never- failing sincerity and workmanship carry it through. It was a fine performance, with excel- lent co-operation from Miss Sollenberger and Messrs. Hauenstein and Doppmann. The Bruck- ner Te Deum brought from the choir its most ardent and full-voiced singing of the program, and the solo quartet contributed effectively to W ASHINGTON-President Eis- enhower has made one im- portant concession to military ad- visers who have been pushing him to take strong steps in China. These military men are chiefly Adm. Arthur Radford, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Gen. James Van Fleet, the Korea commander whose letter on troop- training contributed to Ike's elec- tion. What the President has agreed to is the use of the U.S. Navy to seize Red Chinese merchant ves- sels-if the United Nations fails in its attempt to free the 11 Am- erican airmen and two American civilians. Eisenhower's concession on this point came only after a long ser- ies of debates inside the National Security Council and the White House. During most of these de- bates the President leaned over backward against his military ad- visers. The man who chiefly backed him up was General Matt Ridgway, Army Chief of Staff, who has so emphatically disagreed with Eis- enhower on reducing the strength of the armed forces that he will probably be retired on his birth- day in March. But, on the ques- tion of getting bogged down in a possible war in China, the two spoke the same language. Admiral Radford, however, is one of the most charming and per- suasive military men in the Pen- tagon. Very much in the doghouse with the Truman administration because of his open battle against the Air Force, Radford sweet- talked himself into Ike's good graces during one short hour when Ike's plane refueled at Iwo Jima during the December, 1952, trip to Korea. Ike then took Radford on the rest of the trip and he's been with him ever since. Easy To Seize Reds RADFORD therefore, was able to talk Eisenhower into a pro- mise that the U.S. Navy would be used to seize Commnist China shipping-if the UN negotiations break down. He did this in part by showing how easy it has been for Chiang Kai-shek's navy, rein- forced by U.S. observation planes and using former U.S. warships, to capture Red Chinese shipping Red shipping has to pass through the relatively narrow wa- ters between the Chinese main- land and Chiang's Formosa, where it is easy for Chiang to lay in wait and pick off ships almost at will, Thus, without a blockade, Red China would not be able to com- municate between the vitally im- portant seaports of the south and those of the north, Washington Pipeline THE STATE Department has drawn up a secret list of 526 missing Americans-472 service- men, 54 civilians-who have dis- appeared behind the bamboo cur- tain. The State Department is morally certain many are alive in Communist prisons, has asked Central Intelligence to locate them . . . If our agents in China can find proof these men are alive, Uncle Sam will make a vigorous protest in the United Nations, then follow up with military pressure if necessary . . . . The French are missing 20,000 troops that the Reds were supposed to repatriate under the armistice agreement in Indo-China . . ..
