Indian Independence ,.,.
To the Editor :
DEMOCRACY is not like a suit
that you may take off a peg
and hang on anybody, it may not
fit, it does not fit. The problem
of granting independence to India
was one of the nonhomogeniety of
people. So we divided the Indian
Empire into three nation=-India,
Pakistan and Ceylon, which led
to frictions between the Hindus
and the Moslems, Brahmins and
non-Brahmins, caste and non-
caste . . . so ran Lord Atlee's ex-
planiation of the fall of imperial-
ism due to the recognition of the
rights of the colonial peoples by
the imperialists which later crys-
talised in the creation of the ami-
able family of nations are Com-
monwealth.
Unfortunately, the whole story
of the downfall of imperialism in
general, and the British Empire
in particular, is neither as bright
nor as full of magnanimity and
nobility on the part of the rulers
as Lord Atlee would have us be-
lieve. Countries formerly under
the British rule are independent
today because the imperialists
were forced to realize and recog-
nize the rights of the peoples of
their colonies. In particular, since
they could not stall the Indian
demands they resorted to their,
conventional weapon-division.
When Pakistan was created the
political engineers in Britain were
fully aware of the evident insta-
bility of the new nation which
would give them an excuse and
thus a hand in the affairs of the
subcontinent which would be
otherwise a great potential power.
Besides, by this means they could

keep India and Pakistan well oc-
cupied and thus hinder their rapid
progress. To achieve their pur-
poses they resorted to the calcu-
lated disruption of Hindu-Mos-
lem relations which had been
built up over a long period of time.

Undergrads Welcome
To the Editor:
WE WOULD like to correct the
impression created in your
columns by Misses Firk and Ab-
rams (Daily, Jan. 8) that the
Medical Library is a restricted
club run only for the benefit of
the medical students. The Medical
Library is a division of the Uni-
versity Library and its function
is to serve all the members of the
University community. Its pri-
mary responsibility, however, is
to the Medical School, School of
Nursing and staff of the Univer-
sity Hospitals, and not to provide
study hall facilities for under-
graduate students. Nevertheless,
the Library has never attempted
to exclude undergraduates during
those hours of the day when there
was not great demand made on its
seating space, or even during the
busy hours of the evening, if the
student were able to present' an
acceptable reason for using its
facilities. In the past because of
its proximity to the dormitories.
many of the seats in the Library
have been taken up by undergrad-
uates who were not using library
resources but using the library as
a study hall. The staff of the
Library regrets that it has to act
in this unhospitable fashion dur-
ing the evening hours when study
space in the library is at a pre-

mium, and wishes it could vwel-
come all the students as cordially
during the hours from 6 p.m. to
10 p.m. as it does in the hours be-
tween 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Limita-
tions of space make this impossi-
ble, and we hope the students will
understand that this predicament
is not one of our own choosing.

Brickbats 'n Biases ,,,
To the Editor:
IT WAS entertaining to read
your editorial about the South's
racial problems in Saturday's
Daily - entertaining because of
the concern and tongue clucking
the great northern liberals inhab-
iting this institution show to-
wards southern problems of
school and transportation inte-
gration - entertaining because
of almost the deliberate effort the
liberals make to ignore bigotry,
racial and religious discrimina-
tion which is less remote, and
which effects people closer to
home: discrimination in frater-
nities and sororities.
I doubt if your paper, or any-
one at this University has the
right to criticize the South in
this time of turmoil while such
things as "bias clauses" and dis-
criminatory gentleman's agree-
ments exist and are tolerated;
what is wrong for one part of the
country is wrong for all parts.
Shouldn't we take the precaution
of cleaning our own house before
throwing briclbats at others, lest
we discover our house is made of
glass too?

ANOTHER EFFORT to continue segregation
in Southern schools was stopped quickly
last week when Federal Judge Walter E. Hoff-
man declared Virginia's pupil placement law
unconstitutional.
The pfacement plan was set up to give a
three-man committee power to assign all pu-
pils to various grade schools within the state
system,. It provided that rulings of the board
could- be appealed to state courts and to the
governor. It also stipulated that state funds
would be withheld from any integrated schools.
Although the plan did not state race or color
as criteria for placement, it would most likely
prevent integration if enforced.
W HEN THE Supreme Court first ruled that
the Southern Negro be enfranchised,
Southern legislatures set up legal road blocks
such as the literacy test and the "Grandfather
,Clause" to prevent the edict from taking ef-
fect.
In this situation, analagous to the school in-
tegration problem, the South stalled until it
was forced to relent and obey the Supreme
Court decision. As a result, Negroes today hold
offices on school boards and city councils in

several large cities in the South. They use their
positions to benefit both Negro and white citi-
zens.
Because of its resistance to school integra-
tion, the South is forfeiting a valuable human
resource. Southern leaders should realize that
with an equal education representatives of the
Southern Negro may potentially develop into
intellectual, professional caliber citizens. With
increased automation in Southern industry,
there will be less need for the manual and un-
skilled labor which uneducated Southern Ne-
groes now supply. There will be an increased
need for scientists and technologists which the
educated Southern Negro may fulfill.
S OUTHERN leaders are reluctant to admit
that one of the reasons why many Northern
industries do not open plants in the South is
that they refuse to subject their administrative
and skilled Negro personnel to Southern dis-
crimination, segregation and humiliation. Lack
of educational opportunities for their children
bars these Negroes from considering Southern
employment.
The South, currently striving to diversify its
agrarian economy, could attract industry and
raise its low standard of living by making its
social conditions more attractive. The South-
ern economic base would then be widened
enough to increase opportunities for both white
and Negro.
One way to make social conditions more
attractive to Northern industry is to carry
out school integration and to stop procrastin-
ating enforcement of the Supreme Court's de-
cision with such schemes as the pupil place-
ment law. Judge Hoffman's decision is a posi-
tive step towards making the South a more
desirable place for future industry and edu-
cation.

TODAY AND TOMORROW:

Concerning Tight Money and U.S. Economy

By WALTER LIPPMANN
THERE is an overriding condi-
tion in our domestic affairs
which is that our economy, though
enormously productive as com-
pared with any that has ever ex-
isted, is still not productive
enough for all the demands made
upon it. With full employment
there is not enough labor, and
with the, basic industries- in full
production there are serious shor-
tages in critical goods. Labor and
the materials do not exist to sup-
ply the total demand.
The economy cannot produce
all that consumers want to buy,
plus all that corporations would
like to spend and to borrow for
capital goods, plus all that the
Federal government needs to
spend on defense and its welfare
measures, plus all that the state
and local governments are being
pressed to spend on schools, hos-
pitals, roads, recreation and oth-
er public works.
Although the American econo-
my is growing prodigiously, it is
not growing fast enough to keep
up with the growth of the popu-
lation, with the rapid rise in what
Ameriuans have come to expect

problem of combatting inflation-
that s to say, of managing the
supply of money and credit so
that the total demand for goods
and services is kept in balance
with the supply.
But insofar as we solve the fun-
damental problem of preventing
inflation, we run into a second
pi oblem which is not so well un-
derstood. About it there are many
differing views among the experts
and authorities. This is the prob-
lem of how tv allocate the re-
duced supply of credit. It is a
problem of how to ration credit as
between the stronger borrowers,
like the big corporations, and the
weaker borrowers like home build-
ers; anc as between public bor-
rowing, say, for schools, and pri-
vate borrowing, as for office
buildings,
* * *
THE PRESIDENT showed in his
message that he is acutely aware.
of the primary problem, which is
how to combat inflation. Besides
exhorting business and labor to
practice self-discipline, the Fed-
eral government has two main
ways of reducing the inflationary
pressure. One is for the govern-

is to keep expenditures from ris-
ing as fast as they might. With
our growing population and our
growing public needs at home
and abroad, there is no prospect
of reduction in public spending.
* * *
THE REAL BURDEN of com-
batting inflation rests on the Fed-
eral Reserve Board because of its
power to expand or to contract
the volume of money that the
banks are able to lend. The Fed-
eral Reserve Board has been us-
ing its power with great courage
and true public spirit. The result,
is the famous tight money policy,
and to that policy the country
owes the fact that the inflation-
ary rise in prices is being held
down to moderate proportions.
But as the tight money policy
takes effect, the second problem
arises. This is the problem of the
allocation of the reduced supply
of* credit among the various in-
terests, public and private, who
want to borrow. The allocation to-
day is made by the financial mar-
kets, and as the supply of credit
is less than the demand, the price
of credit, that is to say the rate of
interest, is rising. This means
that those w~xho an affordi to nav~

the need for a broad inquiry into
-the adequacy of our financial in-
stitutions. There is much com-
plaint in Congress on behalf of
farmers and businessmen about
the allocation of credit as be-
tween them and the big corpora-
tions. The problem of allocation
is posed even more sharply for
the states and localities which
need to issue bonds for schools,
roads, and other public works.
They are finding that the high
interest rate and the tight money
policy are a great burden.
Mr. Arthur Levitt, the Comp-
troller of New York State, has, for
example, pointed out that the cost
of borrowing to finance the build-
ing of schools has very nearly
doubled since 1952. This is a very
serious thing. It is a brutal fact
which interferes greatly with the
ideal theory that the localities
should meet public needs, like the
need for schools, hospitals, low
cost housing, roads and public
recreation.
* * *
IT IS EASIER to pose the prob-
lem than to solve it. But this
much at least is clear. We must
resist inflation. We must there-
