DR, PERGLER HIS TRADE OF LIBERTY National U. Law Dean Ques- tions Gains at School Opening. Declaring eivil and political liberty should never be traded for “question- able material welfare,” Dr. Charles Pergler, dean of National University Law School, last night asserted it is “gheer nonsense to take the position that true freedom can be achieved through the violation of liberal prin- ciples.” Dr. Pergler, who had wide experi- ence in political and diplomatic fields befors coming to National University, ‘was the principal speaker at the open- ing session of the school's sixty-eighth year. Attacking what he termed the ten- dency during recent years to condone or silently pass over violations of a civilized code if the violations are committed by those with whose eco- nomic and social objectives certain groups sympathize, Dr. Pergler de- lares” “There exists a tendency to con- sider all things only of relative value, and to be tested by their utility in reaching a given goal. That is not liberalism: rather, it may be, and often is, reaction in its blackest form. Certain things are valuable and de- sirable in themselves, and as such are | to be treasured. The rights of the | individual, civil and political liberties | are an object in themselver. Due | process of law is an object in itself, Utility Test Resented. “Personally, I resent the idea that these things are to be tested by their utility in achieving a new social order. No social order, however perfect in | theory, can be worthwhile without | them, and to sacrifice them for any | objective is paying too high a prlce} for questionable material welfare. It 1s sheer nonsense to take the position that true freedom can be achieved | through the violation of liberal prin- | ciples, through the suppression of | freedom. Yet this paradoxical posi- | tion is taken by many who are preach- | ing a new social order.” | In this state of world affairs, he | added, Americans may look with pride on the conditions of this country, “where political struggles are waged et the ballot box, where heads are counted instead of being broken, and where one may freely express his| opinions in speech and in the press | without arbitrary restraint.” Judge Hatfield Speaks. Other speakers included Judge | Charles S. Hatfield of the Court of Customs and Patent Appeals, chancel- | lor of the university; United States At- | torney Leslie C. Garnett, a member of | the board of directors, and the fol- | lowing members of the faculty: Dean Eugene Carusi of the School of | Economics and Government.
