lE PARDONING BOARD

In Texas an amendment to the state
constitution is proposed which would re-
lieve the governor from the responsibility
of passing on applications for pardon OF
parole. The pardoning power would be
vested in state board, which would take
that responsibility
The Selma (Ala.) Times-Journal be-
lieves such a change would be in order in
other states as well as in Texas, and gives
some convincing reasons for it's opinion, in
Guiding the following:
The granting Or refusing of pardons
and combinations of punishments imposes
distressing burden on a governor and it is
an ordeal he should not be required to en-
dure.
An enormous amount of time and
study is often involved in looking into
these cases. A governor should never
have to decide whether person convicted
of some major crime should die in the
chair or should get reprieve.
A board of competent men would not
feel the same nervous strain and rasping
responsibility that a governor must suffer
when the fate of the unfortunate is placed
entirely in his hands.
1t would be good public policy to re-
lieve the governor of such narrowing ex-
periences and influences in dealing with
these important matters.

Democracy means method Of de-
termining and controlling the poll
cieS of government. 1t emphasizes in
dividual freedom, the right of each
to his own opinion. and the determi-
nation of policy after discussion and
debate. Socialism means public, that
is, governmental, ownership of cap
ital. If it is to be at all rational in
this ownership. the managerial meth
DDS used by private capitalism must
be observed. These methods are es-
sentially autocratic. Some persons
must decide policies and give orders,
while others must obey orders.
Considering the great gulf between
the procedure of democratic govern
ment and that of efficient business
management, it is clear that there
can be no such blend of government
and business as is dreamed of by the
advocates of democratic socialism.
If we were to attempt a complete
merger of government and business.
one of two things would happen.
Either all business would be run by
the method of prolonged debate and
majority voting that is characteristic
of the functioning of democracy. or
else all government would be run
according to the autocratic principle
that must characterize efficient bust
ness operation. The attempt to man.

THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

The habit of newspaper men is to talk
glibly about the value of the freedom of
the press to the people of the United States
but, too often, they fail to stress the
equally important fact that this freedom
must not only include an absence of gov
eminent interference but an actual free
dom from Interior interests in the man.
agement of the press.
No man has a higher regard for the
freedom of the press than the writer but
it is not to be obtained unless newspaper
men vigorously insist upon the freedom
that can come only when ownership of the
press is not linked with other interests.
In the comparatively small cities of
the nation freedom from other interests is
generally the rule and the newspaper is
usually the sole business venture of its
owners. They have no conflicting fl
nancial investments that might initiate
against the expressions that one expects
from a free press.
However, there have been cases in
the United States when huge corporations
became interested in the ownership of
newspapers, to be used as mouthpieces for
their interests and to suppress unfavorable
news. Under such conditions freedom of
the press is meaningless phrase and a
free press does not exist.

TURKEY GETS RELEASE

Some weeks ago we hlled attention
to the request that Turkey had submitted
to the signatories of the Lausanne post
war treaty asking that she be permitted
to. violate the terms of the convention and
fortify the Dardanelles because of changed
conditions since the signing of the agree
ment
This was much better than the tactics
of Adolf Hitler and we wondered if the
nations concerned would be able to recog-
nize the justice of the Turkish request and
recognize existing conditions justly.
1t is worth reporting that Turkey got
what she wanted and that her soldiers last
week moved into the Dardanelle zone,
with the consent of the nine powers chiefly
concerned. Merchant ships are to pass
through the straits unless assisting powers
at war, and warships are not to go through
in time of war unless acting for the League
of Nations or under obligations of a re-
gional pact to which Turkey is sigma
tory.

HARD TO EXPLAIN

Human nature is hard to understand,
and the human mind equally difficult to
explain.
For example, take the case OF. the man
in Pennsylvania, who beat his wife and
two children to death with hammer. be-
cause he had committed "a scarlet SIM
and wanted to send them to Heaven, be-
cause they were so white and clean.''
If any reader can figure this out he
will confer great boon on human beings
in general. The obvious answer is to say
the man was insane, as doubtless he was
but this does not explain his mental re-
actions and the killing of his family.

democratic method would soon result
in their complete paralysis. The ex-
tension of autoeracy to government
would be destructive of al. personal
ibefty.n -
The~truth is that there is a field for
government and field for business.
All schemes for completely merging
government and business, whether
under the idealistic title of demo-
cratic socialism" or some other. rest
on complete misconception of the
proper boundaries of these fields or
zones of activity. The function of
business, or of economic activities
in the broad sense, is to provide q
steady flow of conSumable goods and
services. The function of government
is to promote the general well-being.
chiefly in intangible and immaterial
ways. In doing this, government must
act as umpire over the business game.
Another way of describing the task
of umpiring the business game is to
say that it involves, among other
things, the protection of life and
property and the administration of
justice. But government cannot both
play in the game and act as umpire.
1t would be as sensible to allow the
referee in football game to make
tackle or to intercept pass and start
for the goal line with the ball.
The ideal of democratic socialism.
if applied to football. would either
make umpires of all players, or else
it would give one umpire full power
to call all plays and to decide which
side should score. A similar result
would follow if we undertook a COM
plete blend of government and busi-
ness. Either we should all be bust
ness managers and production would
be deadlocked while we aired our
views on how to make shoes and
steel, or there would be one supreme
manager who would tell us what to
do and make us like doing it.
If socialism is to equal the present
records in the production of goods,
the managerial methods of private
business must be followed. But if
we delegate that task to govern
ment. there will be no sanctum in
which individual liberties are the
major concern.
