inexpensive, but they're in better taste

Of course, greater dependability
may be expected from those electrical

True, this merchandise may cost

universities should have sent delega-
tions to the celebration of Heidelberg's
550th anniversary, unless to see how
in three years five centuries can be
destroyed For the university as we
conceive 1t no longer exists IN Ger
many. Throughout our entire history
our universities have fought for aca-
demic freedom against the dominion
Of special groups and against the
domination of the state. The fight
has by no means always been success
full and academic freedom has its
martyrs here as elsewhere. But I
think no one can deny that the
ideal has been the most vital force
in our institutions Of higher learn
ing The attempt TO create the
courageous and dHinterested mind,
which fearlessly examines all facts in
an unceasing search for truth, founders
on human prejudices and human limi-
tations, but the ideal itself Is most
lofty and rigorous, and to 1t we owe
the miraculous transformation Of our
universe. Until the war the whole
civilized world gave allegiance to that
conception; the student found 1t in
oxford and Harvard, in Heidelberg, IN
Bologna or in the Sorbonne: there was
an international society Of the edu-
Gated and the dedicated and. however
many languages they spoke, they
found common means Of spiritual
communication. 1t was only this
common means Of spiritual communi-
cation which made the international
collaboration Of men Of letters and
science possible. And 1t was this
realization which led American
alumni Of Heidelberg and their friends
to present to that university five years
ago statue Of Athena, Goddess Of
Wisdom, bearing the motto. ITO the
Eternal Spirit"
To the German Spirit.
Athena has been removed from the
portals Of that institution since Hitler
came to power. In her place Is the
swastika and the eagle, and the motto:
ITO the German Spirit" And the
German spirit of 1885 represents a re-
volt from the unity Of Western cul-
ture and the subservience Of letters,
science and art to totalitarian state
in which a mystical racialism Is COM
bined with imperialistic nationalism.
If Germany likes that sort Of thing
suppose it is the sort of thing she likes.

This after all Is something which
the working men can Judge for them
selves, because employer influence is
not difficult for fellow workmen to
detect in whatever form 1t arises. The
chief difference between the Repub-
lican and New Deal planks on labor
amounts to this:
The New Deal plank refuses to pro-
tect working men against the coercion
or intimidation of. representatives Of
outside unions or strong-arm tactics
by pickets in the event of strikes.
Strikers are taken care of on relief
rolls so that Industrial warfare s in
effect subsidized by the Government.
The Republican plank insists on
collective bargaining and the right to
self-organization. but declares in IA
vor of protecting all working men and
their families from interferences or
coercion from any source when work
ing men want to continue work.
