NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bidg., Seattle, Wash, —_— [ —— e ON BEING DEMOCRATIC ‘What does it take to be a citizen of a democracy? Kurt Lewin, writing in the Public Opinion Quarterly of the Princeton School of Public Affairs, gives an answer in discussing the difficulties in the way of establishing democracy in Germany. Now at the Uni- versity of Iowa, Dr. Lewin was a pre-Hitler Pro- fessor of Psychology at the University of Berlin, and so knows his Germans. At the heart of the problem, he says, is the tra- ditional relation of leader and follower. The Ger- mans, because they confuse loyalty with obedience, have never learned to criticize their bosses. They have had no practical experience in three details of conduct that combine to make a people democratic. ‘These details are, in his words: “The ability to recognize differences of opinion without considering the other person a criminal; readiness to accept citicism in a matter-of-fact way; and the offering of criticism with sensitivity for the other person’s feelings.” Dr. Lewin seems to imply that we Americans, as citizens of a successful democracy, live up to his specifications. We thank him for the compliment. There are moments, it is true, when we feel that our political adversaries should be, if not beheaded, at least impeached. There are times when we may be downright ungrateful for their criticism, and times when a chance to wound an opposition leader’s feel- ings in his tenderest spot seems too good to be missed. Occasionally, around election time, the calm, sweet, reasonable American air is somewhat thick with flying mud and vegetables, But after all, mud washes off, and turnips are seldom fatal. Between elections we dine with the other fellow and play bridge with him. We listen politely to his opinions, if only to strengthen our own. We try to believe that, in the main, notwithstanding his obvious political bias, he is probably as loyal a citizen- as we are. This, it must be admitted, takes a high degree of civilization and considerable self-restraint. But it is essential if democracy is to work. What Price Confidence? (Washington Post) Secretary Stimson is alarmed about the increasing rift between soldiers and civillans—meaning, we sus- pect, not so much between ordinary soldiers and their families as between high military officials and the civilians who come frequently into contact with them. Undersecretary Patterson asks for “faith in our mili- tary leadership” and silence on the part of “carping critics who do damage even though they don’t know what they are talking about.” An interesting light is thrown on these matters in a restrained and care- fully written statement by the editors of Harper's Magazine which appears in the current number of that publication. It may help to explain the rift alleged by Secretary Stimson and the deteriorating confidence implied by Mr. Patterson. Harper's, it seems, had accepted for publication an article written by a correspondent who had spent a year and a half accredited to MacArthur's head- quarters. The article, according to the editors, con- tained “some praise” and “considerable criticism” of MacArthur, The War Department, it is stated, re- fused to sanction publication of the article, not on the ground that it contained any information of im- mediate and tangible military value to the enemy, but because it tended to undermine “the confidence of this country, Australia, and particularly the troops in that theatre, in their commander and in his strategic and tactical plans,” and, this being so, would of course “be of great value to the Axis.” Now the obvious question that will arise is where | and why the correspondent’s own confidence had been | undermined that he should venture to write so icriucnlly. Was it because of something by one of the | carping critics that he may have read in one of the American newspapers that happened to reach him in | Australia? We are inclined to think not. And what | could he possibly have said about MacArthur that made the War Department so anxious to have it | hushed? You may be pretty sure that when a good imagination gets to work on these questions, the prod- uet will be something a good deal worse than anything | the original article might have said. Anyone with the | slightest understanding of how rumor gathers momen- | tum would have known this in advance, but obviously the Army has yet to learn the lesson offered them in the Patton episode. g 4 However, the editor of Harpet's see another and more damaging moral. They point out that Mac- Arthur is a tacit candidate for public office, and go on | to observe that ! One may write what one pleases about the other candidates; about General MacArthur | no opinions based on recent, direct observa- tion may apparently be ziven publicity unless they are flattering. This situation is intoler- able in a free country. . . . Let the public be warned. The accounts of this candidate which have been appearing are incomplete, biased by, censorship, and therefore politically un- reliable. Well, the War Department censor, it seems to us, walked right into this one—the veriest hack press {agent could have warned them what to expect. Of | course, it may be that the Army is now so well fixed | for manpower that its censors have to suppress something just to keep from dying of ennui. If that | is so, we suggest they suppress some of the Army‘ photographs of General Patton in his new uniform | which have lately been circulated in the United States. Even without a monocle, this uniform gives the general a curious likeness to an adjutant of the | | Luftwaffe; and this, we should think, is scarcely | conducive to that “faith in our military leadership” so earnestly demanded by Undersecretary Patt.erson._‘ | |ing months. {ever, V;shinglon Merry- 6o-Round (Continued trom rage One) many speeches, he should make less.

A new driveway is being built to the 150-year-old Dewey home at Pawling because visitors now have to come in through the Kkitchen. There is no regular front entrance, and T.E.D. thinks there may be more visitors.
