ONE WORLD) +)\ iil A BL y ‘ An important. decision has just been handed down by Justice William H. Mur- Tay of the Supreme Court of the State of New York. It holds that a newspaper has u-right to edit or reject in good faith ad- yertising copy submitted for publication. The New York Times had been sued by a summer camp for refusing to print the words “selected clientele” in the camp’s advertising and the judge*held that the use of the phrase was a “cloak” and ‘“‘an indirect means to hide discrimination,” and ‘that a newspaper cannot be compelled to ‘accept advertising which it considers dis- eriminatory. ‘s The judge is to be commended for his “wisdom; the New York Times for its intel- ligent stand. It is no secret that “selected” clientele, like “discriminating” or ‘“exclu- sive” clientele, means that the guests are selected, not on the basis of character or ‘achievements, or even of desirable social ‘qualities, but on the basis of race or creed. Tt means that they will be, in the words of Adolf Hitler, all “Aryans.” It is as out of ‘place in this country as the goose-step and the torture chamber. From now on, thanks to this decision, fio newspaper in New York state, at least, -tieed publish this sort of thing if it does not Want to. No newspaper need accept ad- “yertising that it considers un-American or sundemocratic. This is another step for- ward in the slow march toward the unity We hope to achieve here today, and tomor- row in all the world.

Imported relief ‘will be limited because of military opera- tions which demand the use of port facili- tiés, transportation and distribution sys- tems. Tn connection with the report, it is im- portant for all of us to recognize that the people referred to by UNRRA are the vic- tims of the aggressors. They are not enemy Peoples. Their suffering during the war equalled that of the people of any belliger- ent nation and they deserve the considera- tion of other peoples who can easily spare them some food, clothing and relief sup- plies. bi Certainly, if the people of the United Etates can tighten their belts to prosecute | successful warfare, they can well afford #o make a slight additional sacrifice to give assistance to starving civilians who have been mistreated by the common enemy. y cart Tecent- ation that - I: is all right to have a five-year plan, ér a five- day plan; what counts, how- ver, is what you do about the plan.

Another circumstance, in this paper wastage, is that in an article of two or three thousand words it is hard for one to put one’s finger on a salient fact. The articles are made up chiefly of platitudes }and more platitudes, or generalities that | don’t even glitter.” Thousands of persons, some of them | forming groups, in the U they have the secret to what should be done in the postwar world.

The “poetry” and most of the propa- ganda not only wastes paper but words also. But, after all, that is the way of the | world. As a motor must have an exhaust, or burst, so aH! people must have an outlet of some kind for their pent-up emotion, or they would break mentally. However, we should try te curb our feelings in these times of a paper’ shortage, that is, as re- ported by the government, which wastes more tons of Paper, ‘than all the propa- fandis sand “poets” , emultiplied many thousands of times,.in this and all other countries in the world. If secrets we keep, lives saved we reap! The present war has few safety zones as the deaths of | generals, admirals and correspondents reveal. POST-WAR CONTROLS ADVISABLE There is no general agreement as to whether the chief danger to the national economy, when the war ends, is a “run- away price rise” or a “postwar collapse of values, Strange as it may seem, both are pos- sible. Under the circumstances, it is not strange that there are Many economists to suggest that the government retain its con- trols until the economic situation solidifies. By maintaining something of a managed economy? #t is suggested the people will be best protected against either extreme. a Against this contention is the argu- ment that flee markets, with. free wages and free priz permit national economy yoeiietion at itg greatest efficiency.

If we are to have any kind of international security organ- | ization—and if we are not, we should | certainly start immediately preparing for World War IlI—the U.S. will be obliged to contribute its share to the international police force necessary to restrain aggression. In keeping | with the spirit of democracy this | should -be a people’s military unit, not a professional army. If war comes in spite of everything, our national future will depend on our having as large a body of trained personnel ready as possible, The common as- sumption military training makes people militaristic is a complete. error. The Army War College several years ago made att extensive tnquitjyamong those who had received military*tr: ing in connection with their-genet education, asking, among 9 ings, whether this had madé ‘more favorably inclincd to wat. - sWer was an overwhelming negative, Elementary military instruction ré- moves the glampur of war, gets rid of the primitive romance of the uni- form, familiarizes the student with grim, gruesome realities.

We are discussing “universal” military training, not just that of the able-bodied. When our society shows a disposition to take as ch of its young people in peace as in war, the health argument will disappear, That is one reason for starting to talk about it now.

Care Secretary, Educational Rolicles ‘ Commission —— CABR OPENS: A good gen- ag | the conduct of public democracy is to make faportant letisions in the light of the facts. The more clearly we under- stand the present and probable fu- ture situations, the more lik are to tive at at a wise decision. Since fe do not now have adequate infor- mation regarding the prospects for international security, we should not decide now whether to enact com- pulsory peacetime military training legislation. We shall know much more about the international political and military situation after the war is over, We can make a wiser decision when we have more information. Whenever compulsory peacetime mil- itary training can be proved to be a military eS for national secur- ity, it should be enacted. No such proof is possible now because the basic information will not be avail- able until the war is over. There is no danger in postponing decision, Present |} ition is adequate for the conduct ofthe war itself. Some péople sty that we should decide now tr is: over the ican le will, not deal wisely ith the yg Such an opinion | rew “@ ‘shocking lack of | faith in the democratic process, a profound distrust of the reasoned | judgment of the American people, | and a revealing skepticism that the case fot a compulsory military train- ing can sustain an objective and calm review. DR. FAIRCHILD CHALLENGE! The real problem is not whether should decide now, but whether w should start serious discussion now. Certainly we should not pass hasty, ill-considered laws. But in view of the fact, which A. V. Dicey pointed out long ago, that in even the most demoeratic countries legislation lags behind public opinion by 20 or 30 voovs, we should start immediately | ‘ect and examine all evidence. | 1 kinds of evidence statid out | y only in wartime—tend to be- .e obscured in peace. In a highly dynamic period, when things will happen whether or no, the seemingly | scientific counsel of “waiting till all the evidence is in” played. DR. CARR REPLIES: Dr. Fairchild | continues to! insist that we discuss | compulsory peacetime military train- ing now. We are discussing it now. All I say is that we should not com- mit ourselves too soon. If we pre- thaturely give up on the possibility of an,international security system, challenge our Allies to an armament race and “start imnfediately prepar- ing for World War III”, throwing away the most importan' fruits of victory in World War Il. To | paraphfase Dr. Fairchild’s challenge: certain kinds of evidence stand out clearly only in peacetime and tend to bee obscured in the excitement of war. a ie¢ Mode a delicious mea! ore Lace Was Pgh Bat]? fhe who ‘the A th nt ee More treditions, she suppose séormtully.
