school system rests. | do not imply that
legislation governing the curriculum is de-
sirable, or that the passage of laws requiring
the teaching of the effects of alcohol and
tobacco or of a theory concerning the age of
the earth are a proper function of govern
ment. do hold that a democratic society
may insist that its schools serve as a bulwark
of democracy.
With equal vehemence it should be en-
phasized that a teachers freedom to interpret
the implications of the democratic idea in
given situations must be held sacred. In the
effort to maintain democracy we must not
violate the spirit of democracy itself. To be
sure, there will be teachers who will use the
symbols of democracy to deny its substance.
Others will identify democracy with the
status quo, and in the name Of democracy
will condemn labor unions, or advocate the
destruction of civil liberties for some I'M
popular minority. That is the price we must
pay for freedom. But there will be other
teachers, with imagination and courage, who
will constantly restate for pupils the dignity
and worth of the individual of all races,
c%olors, creeds, and social stations, and the
undreamed of possibilities facing a free
people in a land of plenty.
And while we are thinking of the freedom

of the pupil. He too must be encouraged to
take sides freely, without imposition of a
teachers views and without penalty for
heterodoxy. The free Interchange of ideas
in adult society is the life blood of democracy.
That interchange must have its counterpart

Bailey, Again

One Of the most bloodthirsty, inhuman
declarations ever heard on the floor of the
United States Senate came from the lips of
blatherskite Senator Bailey, of North Caro-
lima, when that body was considering the
appointment Of former Governor Murphy, of
Michigan, as Attorney General. Bailey made
a venomous attack upon Murphy for the
manner in which Murphy settled the sit
down strike in Michigan automobile factories
in 1887. A dispatch from Washington said:
Senator Bailey said that as governor of a
state, Murphy should have enforced the law
during the strikes regardless of whether
such action caused bloodshed."
Can you beat that for cold-blooded hatred?

Coming Together

1t was a remarkable tribute to the Catholic
church that a well-known rabbi delivered in
New York City recently. Jerome M. Lawn,
the Jewish clergyman referred to, said in
the course Of a sermon on the contributions
Of the church to civilization, that it always
has sought to defend the people against
tyrants.
The sermon is another Of a long series of
striking examples Of the growth Of tolerance
between the Jewish faith and all the
branches of Christianity. Said Rabbi Lawn:
"In its splendid service to the human fam
lily" he said, 'the Catholic church has greatly
aided in the moral progress of the human
race. It combines some of the ethics of
ancient philosophical Greece. It has been a
patron of art and a friend of music, poetry,
sculpture, architecture and painting. 1t has
done much more. It has sought to exalt true
w%omanhood. For centuries it has been the
depository Of learning, the builder of uni
v~ersities and the creator Of beautiful
churches"
1t would be difficult to exaggerate the
services Of the church in some periods past.
In the Dark Ages, especially, it kept c%iviliza-
ton from vanishing from Europe. And dur
ing the entire feudal period, the right of
sanctuary was all the lower classes enjoyed
when pressed by tyranny.

Objections 10 Buying
License PLATES Now

February LIST is the deadline for
operating automobiles and motor
vehicles without 1899 licenses. Prior
to this year, there was quite a bit
of laxity in allowing people to oper-
ate their cars, even until April Is
or May LIST. Reports coming into
union headquarters indicate that the
Highway Patrol is forcing the issue
and telling people to buy their
licenses by February LIST. This date
is alright under certain circum-
stances but it works a hardship on
the poor people in many ways.
People pay taxes in November, then
comes December, with its Christmas
burdens. They are hardly over this
expense when they are compelled to
buy license plates for their a

times, it is difficult for the people
to assume this additional outlay.
When people can't buy licenses, the
cars remain stored in garages, con-
sequently gasoline stations and other
places are deprived of purchases
which would normally result from
the operation of these cars. In many
cases, people are hard pressed to
buy fuel. If it weren't for the de-
mand that licenses be had before
February LIST, many men could take
their trucks and go out and pick up
a load of wood. Even these few
observations show that some laxity
should govern the purchasing of
automobile plates in the spring of
the year.

September three British ships of
an aggregate tonnage Of 1927
tons were sunk by German sub
marines. Since then, that is to
say for a period Of over q week,
no British ship has been report

to the fact that the U-boats at
sea at the beginning Of the war
are now being relieved by others

But there is ample evidence that
submarines are still operating
round our coasts. The absence
Of sinkings, therefore, is, in the
main, due to the successful
measures adopted by the navy.
The U-boats are being hunted
from home waters where our
shipping must inevitably con-

submarines, therefore, in their
efforts to avoid our warships are
being driven to operate in far

very security of all the nations
Of Europe.
The immediate cause of the war
was the deliberate invasion Of
Poland by Germany, the latest
but by no means the only act of
aggression planned and carried
through by the German govern
ment, but If Poland was the direct
cause of war, it was not the
fundamental cause. That cause
was the overwhelming sense in
this country and in France of
the intolerable nature of a state
Of affairs in which the nations
of Europe were faced with the
alternative Of jeopardizing their
freedom or of mobilizing their
forces at regular intervals to de-
fend it.
Declaration on Liquidation
OF War Declared Obscure.
The passage in the Russo
German declaration about the
liquidation of the war is obscure,
but it seems to combine a sug-
gestion of some proposal for peace
with scarcely veiled threat as
to the consequences if the pro-
posal should be refused. I cannot
anticipate what the nature Of any
such proposal might be, but I can
say at once that no threat would
ever induce this country or France
to abandon the purpose for which
we have entered upon this
struggle.
To attempt-as German prop
aganda does-to saddle us with
the responsibility for continuing
the war because we are not pre-
pared to abandon the struggle
before this purpose is achieved
is only another instance of Ger
man war technique. The re-
sponsibility for the war rests
upon those who have conceived
and carried out this policy of
successive aggression and it can
neither be evaded nor excused,
and 1 would add one thing more:
No mere assurances from the
present German government
could be accepted by us.
For that government have too
often proved in the past that
their undertakings are worthless
when it suits them that they
should be broken. If, therefore,
proposals are made, we shall
certainly examine them and we
shall test them in the light of
what I have just said.
Nobody desired the war to con-
tinue for an unnecessary day,
but the overwhelming mass of
opinion in this country, and I
am satisfied also in France, is

btns declaration In the House O.
Commons today, his fifth statement
css the War::
In the, last week events Of
great Importance have occurred
in the international field. On
September 26 the German foreign
.iIiinister (Von Ribbentrop) paid a
svdsit to Moscow and on Septem-
Der % the results of this visit
were proclaimed. -
These results were threefold.
In the first place, fourth par
Htion of Poland has been at
tempted and an agreement has
been signed recognizing as final
the frontier between Russia and
Germany. The line agreed upon
was considerably more favorable
to Germany than the provisional
line Of military occupation which
had previously been laid down.
In the second place, the Ger
man and Soviet governments
have declared that their agree
ment has finally settled the
question arising out of the COL
lapse of the Polish state and has
created solid foundation for last
ing peace in Eastern Europe. In
their opinion, the liquidation of
the present war between Ger
many and England and France
would be in the interests of all
nations.
Both governments, they 60 on
to say, will endeavor to achieve
this object as quickly as possible.
They assert that should their ef-
forts prove unsuccessful England
and France will bear the respon-
sibility for the continuation OF
the war, and they add that the
German and Soviet governments
will then consult together as to
the measures they will take.
Russo German Economic
Agreement Foreshadowed.
In the first place, an economic
agreement between Germany and
Russia is foreshadowed under
which Russia will supply raw ma
terials to Germany and Germany
will supply goods produced over
. lengthy period. There has been
IN some quarters a demand that
his majesty's government should
define their attitude in the face
OF these developments, but I see
nothing in what has happened
that should lead this country to
modify the attitude which it has
felt it right to take.
The agreement between Ger
many and Russia and the sub
sequent partition of Poland be-
tween them has, of course,
changed the position in Poland,
but it by no means follows that
the arrangement will endure to
the ultimate advantage of Ger
many and still less should it affect
the aims of his majesty's govern
ment.
There is nothing in that agree
ment that should cause us to do
anything other than what we are
doing now-mobilizing all the
resources and all the might of
the British empire for the effec-
tive prosecution of the war. The
reason for which this country
entered the war has been fire.

patrols, escort work, and special
reconnaissances, and advantage
has been taken Of the light of
the moon to continue the relent-
less hunting Of submarines dur
ing the night hours. A number
Of U-boats have been sighted and
attacked.
As already announced, attacks
were made on units of the Ger
man fleet by aircraft of the
bomber command on the 18th
of September. AS a result of one
Of these attacks, prosecuted in
the teeth of fierce opposition, both
from anti-aircraft gunflre and
from enemy fighters, we suffered
some losses but the Germans
have admitted that two of their
attacking fighters were shot down.
At sea the war against the
submarine has continued with
unabated vigor. On the goth
September last I expressed in
this House the opinion that the
rapid increase in the numbers,
power and efficiency of our
hunting craft, together with the
employment Of the convoy sys-
tenn, would cause the submarine
menace to dwindle no less rap
idly. I am happy to say that
events have shown my confidence
to be justified.
Hundreds Of Vessels
Given Protection.
Trace is flowing to and from
our ports in an ever-increasing
volume. AS I speak hundreds of
vessels are moving over the
great ocean routes. They are
protected both by convoy and
by the unremitting and relent-
less action Of our anti-submarine
forces.
Between the 18th and the
Goth of September 1,485 vessels
OF gross tonnage of 3,679 900
tons entered or cleared the ports
of the United Kingdom. During
that period only 1.25 per cent Of

rule Of violence shall cease and
that the word of governments
once pledged must henceforth

These events In the interna-
tional field and our reactions to
them are necessarily uppermost
In our minds today. The House
will, however, wish me to give
them a brief summary of the
progress of the war since I last
spoke.
On the western front some
further progress has been made
by the French which has enabled
them to secure useful points for
observation over the German
position.
Large British Army
Transported to France.
A large British Army has been
transported to France and is TAX
ing its place alongside our French
allies. We have reason to be
proud of the efficiency with which
this complicated movement has
been carried out.

the Anacostia River in line with

East Capitol street from the river
to Minnesota avenue was urged last
night by the Bradbury Height Cit
izens' Association at it's meeting In
the Bradbury Heights M. E. Church.
Immediate erection of the bridge,
which would take care OF increasing
traffic from the rapidly growing
trans-Anacostia sections, was advo-
Gated so that no buildings would be
erected at the foot of East Capitol
street to block the proposed span.
