Politics Enters Schools

N AVID LAWRENCE, in his column from Washington
l. D. c.. said. May 5;
POLITICAL PROPAGANDA has at last invaded
the public school ~ stem of the United States.
With the sponsorship and encouragement ot various
agencies of the government, certain New Dealers and
radcalnndcd educators have together put something
over on the National Education Association.
For wears, aert-mndcd educators and citizen boards
Of education throughout the United States have rightly
been on guard keep the public schools free from the
intruSions of political economic indoctrnation.
But now under the euiSc of helping to win the war
a far-fung scheme of GONFRNMENT-MADE education
has been worked out which designed primarily for high
school students. hat il openly calls also for ADULT
EDI CATION among the parents To WHOM IliE
PROP 4GANpA- Is To RI BROt CHIT FROM THE
SCHOOLS TO THE HOME BY THE Students
This scheme goes beyond the usual practices Of nsnu
l atng propaganda into the schools since obviously
IT TURNS THE SCHOOLS ThEMSELNES INTO
AGENCIES FOR POLITICAL ELECTIONEERING.
Mr. Lawrence cites as his Exhibit A a 93-page,
cXpersyely Illustrated textbook entitled My Part IN the
Scanning The volume he has found in it a PARTISAN
presentation of DEFINITELY PREJUDICED VIEWS
on controversial subjects
Needless to say, the views advanced are strictly
radical New Deal views such that strikes should not
be discouraged that the press and radio venaly con-
roled and distort repress much of the news hence
the government should have control ever both as
in the dic4torshPs; and that gradG Is6eng NOV
CIALIST1C ATTACK ON PRIVATE ENTERPRISE,
should be enforced by ukase
n dR LAWRENCE pertinenty notes that mot one ref
wi is made" TO material presenting 1.-The other
side of these controversial questions"
In other words, the propaganda being offered is
propaganda of the rankest type.
The very methods of "indoctrinaton which were
rightfulv condemned and outlaWed when employed by
capitalists" AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE are now being
shameessy exploited by the office-holding New Deals
reyolutonares and "fourth-termers' AT THE EXPENSE
OF INCOME TAX PAYERS AND WAR BOND BUYERS
Plainly the congressional committee headed by Rep.
Howard w. Smith of Virginia, appointed to keep New
Deal agencies within the law needs to look into this matter

Stabs in the Back

r VERY strike in war industry is direct stab in the
l. back of every American soldier sailor and marine as
President Roosevelt said in effect in his radio address on
the Threatened John L. Lewis walkout
How terribly true this is evidenced almost
simultaneously with the Presidents words.
According TO a United Press despatch from Honolulu,
dated Nav g. thousands of American serNicemen at this
news that coal miners at home had gone on strike"
lust how defenders and fighters feel about these
! STRIKES AGAINST THEM is mirrored in the fol-
lowing statement by Pvt Ollie Ostrum of Goose Creek
Tex who recently returned from Midway and who is now
at Honolulu:
IL class this strike any strike along with sabotage.
I'm the service know wherever there job to
be done and done with questions asked This war Is
big and important that every civilian should feel the
same way"
And Sgt John S Hanson of Seattle, Wash, who
manned machine gun the Pearl Harbor attack said:
to strike long there is American soldier laying
down his life a battlefield II is deplorabe that such
conditions exist at home but they do and drastic meas
needed
7 IERE we hear the voices of men WHO SERVE THEIR
i COUNTRY above and beyond all things.
The crime of striking in defense plants today is
that goes deeper than the production of materials

THIS Nation has attained lis greatness
Il through the ideals and philosophy Of
freedom written into It's Charter and Con-
stitution.
Safeguarding this philosophy this Nation
has attained a position in the world never
attained by any other nation.
After more than 80 years, and with less
than one-fifth of the area of the world under
its flag and less than one-seventh Of the
population of the world, the United States
of America has vouchsafed unto It's citizens
opportunities never before offered to any
people in the world; it has done for years
more than onehalf the total business of the
world, and is spending annually as much as
all the other nations Of the world in the up
lift and education of It's citizens
We own and control one-half the wealth
Of the world and our power of production
of those commodities essential 10 human ex-
istence is equal to that Of all the balance Of
the world.
These facts convince us of the wisdom OF
our forefaherS in the establishment Of our
form of government and fill us with pride
when we contemplate the indefInable spirit
of these people who have lived in this Nation
and those who still live here and follow the
flag Of freedom, those people who have al
ways been willing and are now willing TO offer
their lives to protect these inalienable rights
so well defined in our Declaration of indie
pcndence, those rights and duties which have
made MS great and strong and which we will
never willingly surrender.
This committee asserts that it is not hostile
TO what is known these days as liberalism.
We recognize that intelligent, constructive
criticism Of our philosophy Of government
will always be helpful.
Our political party system will take care

The Constitution Of the United States
rests upon public opinion.
When that ceases to support it the end
will be at hand.
Americas future depends upon the citi-
zens reverence for this Constitution.
The profound political philosophy which
brought il into being and the basic principles
which underie it are not familiar even TO
many of our college graduates.
This Constitution with It's fine equilibrium
between efficient power and individual liberty
remains the best hope of the world, and
any Government employe who fosters or
sponsors or supports any organization which
would undermine this foundation for free
government ought not to be employed by
any department of Government in any posi-
ton Of trust.

THE strange identity Of the

encouraged a wide variety of

deduction was that Mr.. Nell
