'ROM its beginning the Republican Party
has blandly maintained at least two in-
ate inconsistencies which, regardless of their
ontributions to national growth in the past,
re now threatening national security.
A vigorous proponent of nationalism, the
epublican Party was founded in 1854 to op-
ose the extension of slavery. Its brand of
ationalism called for the preservation of the
rnion above all, especially as against section-
lism and secessionism.
With the help of a civil war, its program
revailed and, by concentrating the national
ttention on conscious growth, was largely re-
ponsible for establishing the conditions for
he successful beginnings of this country's
henomenal commercial progress.
As the nation grew, its significance in world
ffairs grew with it. Meanwhile, the Repub-
cans' nationalism, no longer needing its con-
olidating aims, found a new enemy in inter-
ationalism and fostered an isolationist policy
hat ignored the realities of changing world
olitical and economic situations.
The result was a damper on national growth,
hough not obvious. National growth was ir-
etrievably tied up with that of the rest of the
orld, a fact that Republicans refused even
o consider.
OWERFUL remnants of this outlook remain
in the Republican Party today, although the
'arty leader is an avowed internationalist. Nev-
rtheless, the nationalist, isolationist, short-
ighted segments of the Party are capable of
ccomplishing much damage to national se-
urity, which is undeniably, happily or un-
iappily, tied up with th'e security of the rest
f the world. As long as these segments re-
lain, there is real danger in granting the
republican Party a mandate, of which the
oter should be aware.
Where once the Party saw the value irk
nity, the very policy that it used to imple-'
ment that viewpqint is now being used for
disunity, at a time when the former is so
much more important to world safety than in
1860.
A specific application of that policy, the pro-
tective tariff, more clearly points up another
inconsistency that the Republican Party has
retained in its platform throughout its history.
A vigorous proponent of a laissez faire re-
lationship between business and government,
the Republican party has from the first been
opposed to government's interfering in busi-
ness to the latter's disadvantage. At first, there
was some validity in its contention that infant
business had to be left alone to flourish, and
that the nation needed flourishing businesses.
BUT with an amazingly straight face through
it all, the Party became not so much against
government's interference in business if it was
to the latter's benefit. It denied its own ar-
gument' by giving business more protection as
it became less an infant. Thus came the pro-
tective tariff that fitted snugly into the Party's
distaste for international affairs.
This attitude, too, has been maintained to
the present day, even despite legislation passed
during more progressive times when the Re-
publicans were out of office, legislation that
has become so nationally accepted that to
question it would be political suicide of the
quickest sort.
But it will still be political suicide for the
party of a slower type if voters wake up to the
Republican Party's inconsistencies which deny
the realities of today.
1) American business is quite capable of
handling itself profitably in world trade, and
2) there is much danger in isolating the Ameri-
can economy from the other world economies,
because they depend on us and we, in turn,
depend on them.

Let's Start New Year Right
INCE this is the time for making New Year's
resolutions, it might be wise for Student
overnment Council members to take part in
he annual tradition by resolving more regular
ttendance at Council meetings.
At the Council's last meeting before vaca-
on, President Berliner called adjournment
ith only 12 of the 18 voting members present.
hree of the absentees were ex-officios.
It is true that two of the absent voting
oting members were represented by substi-
ites on the body. These substitutes added
tle to the' discussion in the way of leadership
ad advice, the qualities for which ex-officio
.embers were included in the SGC concept.
Not only was the substitute for the absent
iterfraternity Council president unaware of
ouncil action and policy in the past, but he
emed to know little about several questions
rected to him concerning his own organiza-
on.
It seems useless for SGC to talk about "act-
Lg rJsponsibly" when meeting attendance
oes not justify acting at all, responsibly or
responsibly. When students choose their
presentatives, ex-officio or elected, they select
iem in the belief that they will exhibit maxi-
mum amount of interest in student govern-
ment. Attendance of only two-thirds of the
regular body can hardly be called a ;display
of maximum interest.
ASIDE from showing lack of responsibility
to the student body, absence from meetings
is also unfair to other members of the Council
who devote an evening of their tIne to meeting
in body.
Low attendance at the pre-vacation meeting
was particularly disheartening.
In line with the New Year tradition, noth-
ing could have provided a more stable stepping
stone for other Council resolutions than the
discussion which took place.
Though at times spaced with the usual pat-
on-the-back comments, the indirect evaluation
which SGC members made of themselves and
their organization was valuable, even though
not indicative of reason for student faith in
their campus government.
Whether the constructive criticism made at
this meeting or any other has any effect at
all will depend on more faithful attendance in
the new year.

A LOT of Congressmen are now
coming back from almost every
part of the world, most of them
traveling at the taxpayers' ex-
pense. But grandmotherly 70-
year-old Congresswoman Frances
Bolton of Cleveland has just fin-
ished a 20,000-mile trek through
dark Africa at her own expense.
Mrs. Bolton couldn't look less like
an African explorer, but her trip
had all the trappings of a Frank
Buck expedition.
In the Belgian Congo, a charg-
ing, trumpeting bull elephant al-
most put an end to her trip. Her
only injury, however, came not
from wild animals but from an
automobile -- a broken finger,
caught in a car door.
With her finger in splints, she
traveled by plane, steamer, rail-
way and caravan through 20 Af-
rican countries, colonies, and pro-
tectorates, for the House Foreign
Affairs Committee.
AS A REPUBLICAN, Mrs. Bol-
ton has had years of experience
with GOP elephants. But she ran
into the real animal on a dim
jungle trail. A big enraged bull
charged her party as if they were
all Democrats, They were mov-
ing through the Belgian Congo by
auto caravan when they found
themselves hemmed in on three
sides by elephants. Here is how
Mrs. Bolton describes the inci-
dent:
"We stopped to watch a large
herd of elephants where two bulls
were fighting. Soon an electrical
storm began to gather, andrthe
elephants became noticeably agi-
tated. Before we knew it, a sec-
ond herd had lumbered in on our
left and a third on our right."
"MOUNTAINS WERE around us
-a huge grassy plain, two cars,
elephants on three sides, nervous-
ly protecting their young, and rest-
less because of the lightning," re-
ported the Ohio grandmother. "The
" man at my side warned us to
watch an immense bull elephant
straight ahead. His ears were
flapping, his trunk swinging, and
he was shifting'from side to side.
"Suddenly, with front feet to-
gether and a curious trumpeting,
he charged us. The driver in the
lead car had no time to turn. He
slammed the gears into reverse and

came back at us at about 30 miles
an hour. Our driver did not lose
his head, but backed clear of the
oncoming car, got us turned
around, and got us out of there.
It was a breathless few seconds."
. * *
BEFORE LEAVING the Belgian
Congo, Mrs. Bolton met another
woman politician - the Queen
Mother of the Watussi Tribe.
"We spoke of the vastness of
Africa and of the future which we,
as women, have in common al-
though we live across the world
from each other," writes the lady
legislator. "I offered her a very
small present, an attractive print-
ed cotton scarf. She took it with
great dignity and with a smile that
was mostly in her eyes."

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the sec-
ond article from University student
David Learned on a one-year exchange
program at the Free University of
Berlin.)
By DAVID LEARNED
BERLIN -- Writing from and
about the Free University of
Berlin is perhaps a fine thing, but
before this series runs any farther
an explanation of the university's
name 'so glibly used is in order,
and perhaps even overdue.
Any Michigan student could at
least intimate since the Free Uni-
versity lies in West Berlin that the
naming might have something to
do with a political sort of free-
dom, but it goes much more deep-
ly. The meaning comes from a
spirit of "academic freedom."
* * * ,
BUT WHAT is meant at the
Free University by academic free-
dom is a bit more comprehensive
than what it is commonly thought
to be at the University of Michi-
gan. Studying in an atmosphere
of academic freedom here is what
more tradition-hampered univer-
sities all over the world, with br
without their government support,
would deny their students.
When the students under a cer-
tain faculty here find that a pro-
fessor is incapable or even objec-
tionable, they can register a com-
plaint with their student govern-
ment and get action on it. If the
professor proves to be incompe-
tent as claimed, he can be relieved
of his position. If a student wishes
to skip a lecture or recitation be-

cause the announced subject is not
of interest to him or perhaps be-
cause he is too hung over from the
night before, he merely sleeps right
through it.
And there are absolutely no re-
quired courses in any faculty.
Practically the only thing required
of a student here is that he pay
some of his tuition within a month
or so after the beginning of the
semester, and that he attend a
matriculation ceremony about a
month after that.
BUT THE most important as-
pect of this practically pure at-
mosphere of academic freedom is
this freedom of choice of classes.
Perhaps even too much stress has
been laid on it. But one can at
least partly explain it as a reaction
to what goes on a half mile over
the sector border in the Humboldt
University in East Berlin and in,
Universities in the Russian Zone.
There, two courses stand at the
top of the list of courses under
each faculty headingassrequired
courses. These are Russian and
"social science."
Social science is, as one might
guess, a course in Marxian doc-
trine. The students here don't
like at all being told what courses
to take.
At first glance one might think
that this freedom of choice offered
by a university is a utopian con-
cept in education. But not in
iberal arts education. One would
ind here that choice to that ex-
tent can be dangerous. Students
tend markedly here to choosing
strictly those courses that will
help them pass their monstrous
two to three months' test taken
after four years of untested school-
ing.
However there are arguments
that this situation is not so bad
or could with time be ameliorated.
One, the public school education
in Germany provides a fairly good
liberal education with its thirteen
main subjects.
And two, one could be tested for
general knowledge outside his
field, more than he is at present.
But right now, as far as I can
see, we in America with our re-
quired spread of courses are get-
tinga clearly superior liberal edu-
cation.
