The United States adheres to fundamental principles of law and order in international affairs, constantly restating its faith ‘their efficacy and urging nations to respect to achieve an impossible the rights of others. While losing no opportunity to express lawlessness i decency in international developments Mr. Hull makes plain the intent of the United States to avoid resort to force, either as a matter of national policy or as a means to compel other nations to behave. At the same time, the Secretary of State has no patience with isolation that surrender of our ri a He thinks that of threatening a ments. our disapproval of | depends.

In an- Aiviging that the “dis- Herafaid. funds within matter that should be left exclugely fo state officials.” Joint plang agreed upon b> the state departments of education and the United States Office of Education are therefore essential. In short, there is to be federal con- trol. These grants are not without their strings. The verdict of the Office of Education ‘wil! be final as to: the types of expenditure for which federal funds may be available. As long as the state departments actept its views re- garding the proper types of expendi- ture, there is to be, for th, present, no further control. But it is clear that the discretion explicitly to be reserved to them will amount to little ifa federal agency must give its approval to (he methods of distribution within a state. It was pointed out last week that federal control of education is’ in- a state if ni 2 the federa! | herent in any scheme of federal grants in, aid of education. The public sehoul authorities have resisted this impljga- tion from the first, but their attitude has been naivé and uittd!. ff they bre now ‘ready to aecept: federal tunds, they must be prepared to. agcept.also federal control, which may become federal dictation. The togie of such a! policy is clear. Assuming ithat the funds given are ob- tained from taxation, it follows that the taxes collected in one part of the ‘conntry will be used to aid educatron in other parts. The federal govern- ment is as responsible to those from whom tt cotlects taxes as it is to those whom it helps. This is a sound theory, however much it has been ignored in practice. Hence, the federal govern- ment is justified in supervising, or even in controlling. the use of the money given, as a means of proper accounting to those from whom the money was taken. One essential aspect of the entire subsidy policy has been wholly dis- regarded as the flood of easy money has been poured out of the federal treasury. and it is likely to be over- looked" in the present connection. This is the effect of such control as necessarily ai upon local respo yin govern- ment and public administration. Even in England, where the grant-in-aid began and’ where it has been exten- sively used. grave concern exists over’ its ultimate, effects. Local authorities receive, through the grants, substan- tial hefp in'Sofving their problems, but the solution reduces their autonomy, their sense of local responsibility, and eventually their self-respect. The decay and demoralization of lo- cal government is a high price to pay. yet there is no alternative to paying it if we carelessly expand the grant system. [t may be too high a price, in the end. for we have no assurance that. having wrecked local govern- ment through excessive supervision, a thoroughly centralized g-vernment can do as much for the people, or do it as well as can a government in which local authorities are vigorous and alert. On the contrary, we know quite well that the final result will be worse rather than better government. Thus the availability of too much easy money may undermine, and not im- prove, the quality of public education, (Address questions to the author care of this newspaper ecceccce Covescccccccee, TODAY’S ANNIVERSARIES ecccccesccccsocs H KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happenirigs Here Just Ten Yéars Ago Today Aé Taken From The Files j Key West delegates to the! | Grand Lodge meeting of Odd Fel- | lows, which convenes at Daytona {Beach next week, will go with | the intention of bringing the 1929 ‘convention to Key West.
