WAKE UP, AMERICA!
Is Criticism Wise During
Time of War?
As Debated BY
As Debated BY
STRUTHERS BURT,

Celebrated Author and Commentator.
Mr.. Burt opens: I have never
heard an intelligent American chal-
lenge the democratic right Of criti-
cism. The test is whether the critic
approaches his task with clean
hands and a mind devoid Of all
prejudice Today this test is mat
ter of life or death. Nor is it diff
cult to apply: One has only to read
between the lines and listen with an
inner ear. There is room now for
only one prejudice; devotion to VIC
tory and the American way of life.
Unfortunately 95 per cent Of our
press, most columnists, at least four
influential weekly magazines, and
numerous men in public life, are Bit
terly opposed to the administration.
This is not true of the people them
selves. The result is a spit person.
ality, split criticism, which handi-
caps both our morale and the war
effort. Destructive critics try to win
the war while pointing scornfully at
the duly elected officials In charge
of the war. They even impugn Off
cial motives. This, at best, is mere
supposition. At worst it Is criminal
prejudice.
Fair, constructive, criticism based
on fact is desirable. But most criti-
cism currently leveled at the ad-
ministration is based on political or
economic prejudice. While much of
this prejudice may be unconscious,
how can anything based on preju-
dice be wise?
| DR.. Alexander challenges: I'm
afraid Mr.. Burt classifies criticism
he likes as constructive, and criticism
that he doesn't like as destructive.
This division is artificial and mean
ingless, for all criticism is destruc-
tive or constructive depending upon
the attitude with which it is re-
ceived. That Is far more important
than the attitude with which it is
given.
Public servants must expect criti-
cism. 1t is the crucible in which pro-
grams should be tested. The sus-
pension of criticism virtually means
suspension of the right of free
opCeCll. L uOll JlllIlk NT. 6uII
wants that. If vigorous criticism
can clear up the confusion of bu-
reaucratic pyramids and hasten our
victory over our wicked enemies let's
have more of it!
Mr.. Burt Replies: I, on my part,
am afraid that DR.. Alexander has
once more and finally evaded the
issue. Criticism should be judged
on the record of the critic. If the
critic has always been unfriendly
there is at least a reasonable doubt
concerning the constructiveness of
his intentions.
These obstructive critics know
that they are not going to like the
acts OF the administration before
they even know what the admins
tration is going to do. Starting with
: this false premise how could their
criticism be anything but destruc-
tive? Honest constructive criticism
cannot be based on pre- conceived
notions and false premises.

BY DR.. RUTH ALEXANDER,
Americas Foremost Woman Lecturer


on Economics.
DR.. Alexander Opens: Where
there's smoke there's usually fire.
Barring willful, unjust persecution,
criticism almost always has some
foundation. In an enlightened nation
unjust criticism defeats itself and
Injuries the critic. In this world
struggle for survival it is proper that
American citizens voice their doubts
and fears concerning successful con-
duct of the war.
Instead of contributing to national
disunity it may we'll eliminate the
causes of disunity providing the crit
icism is proved unfounded or the
condition causing the criticism is
corrected.
Should the people remain silent if
political considerations are allowed
to hinder the war effort or if Con-
gress risks disastrous imitation to
pamper pressure groups? I think
not. Have the people the right to
demand an intelligent and workable
manpower policy? I think they have
call it criticism If you will. Honest
opinion must be expressed, not sup
pressed, if democracy is to remain
healthy.
Openly expressed public disap-
proval saved Britain from a compla-
cent administration and saved Brit
ain itself. Popular criticism is far
more active and effective in England
today than in the United States. The
British press and the British people
speak their minds without hesitation.
Since this is peoples war the peo-
pie have a right to demand the best
possible war management.
Mr.. Burt Challenges: Where there
is smoke there is fire, but certainly
no such gigantic project as total
global war could be administered
perfectly. Nor is it historically true
that unjust criticism defeats itself.
War administrations do not have
time to meet and disprove rumor,
supposition and unjust criticism. Nor
is it Anglo-Saxon procedure to be
held guilty until proven innocent.
Space does not permit detailed ref
utation of DR. AleXanders charges.
They are without proof and appear
to evade the issue. The question is
not whether there is smoke. There
always is. The question is whether
you misread the smoke and use it
to hamper progress.
DIR. Alexander Replies: Mr.. Burt
has willfully confused criticism of
the war effort with criticism of the
Administration. But many loyal
admirers of our Commander in Chief
are genuinely and honestly worried
about the apparent sluggishness OF
the war effort. No true American
would deliberately heckle or ham
string any public servant at such g
critical time. But anyone whose lovec
ones face the Axis powers on the
battlefield can hardly be guilty o1
what Mr.. Burt calls criminal pref
udice" if they raise sincere ques.
tions as to the quality of our equip.
ment and the nature of our granc
