Nonpurtisun Periodicals

The death of Charles Day Lanier
furnishes an occasion for a few
words of comment on variety of
periodical which unfortunately has
ceased to exist. He was at different
times book reviewer, compiler,
managing editor and publisher of
the American Review of Reviews. The
The younger generations of readers,
OF course, know of it only by name,
but many oldsters will recall it as
monthly budget of news and opinion
which Systematically appropriated
a university curriculum of history,
the arts and the sciences in process
OF evolution. Facts were the ma
terials of which it was made. The
standard pattern of its pages was

to no dogma. it preached nothing,
Its whole purpose was to set out the
evidence and to let the public Judge.
William Thomas Stead. the great
English journalist. was the original
sponsor Of the idea. He had been
editor of a. provincial paper, the
Darlington Northern Echo. Going
to London in 1880. he served as as
sistant to John Morley on the Pail
Mall Gazette and after Morley's re-
tirement was its editor from 1883 to
1889. The conception of a review
which should review all other re-
views seems to have developed in his
mind gradually and not all of a
sudden as notions commonly do in
ordinary human experience. When
the initial issue appeared in Janu-
ary. 1890. the model definitely was
established. There were changes of
format and routine as the years
passed, but they were minor in ma
ture. One of the inevitable results
of the success af the venture in
Britain was the, launching Of the
American edition in September, 1890.

Another Transit Strike

A second strike of the Capital
Transit workers, staged in violation
of their contract and in defiance Of
the recommendations of the union
officers, presumably will result in
Government seizure of the city's
public transportation facilities.
This is solution" which is salts
factory to no one, and which really
solves nothing. Yet if the alter
native is paralysis of the Districts
mass transportation facilities it is
difficult to see what other action
can be taken.
There is little reason to suppose
that any progress can be made in
further direct negotiations between
the company and its employees. The
latter will not live up to the contract
to which they subscribed last year
At last nights mass meeting, after
the company had agreed to submit
the wage dispute to arbitration, the
representatives of the union strongly
urged that this proposal, worked out
in conjunction with representatives
Of the Department of Labor, be
accepted. But their recommended
ton was unanimously rejected, the
attitude Of the workers, as expressed
by some Of their spokesmen, being
that "the public is with u.s." and
I'VE will sit right here until they
(the company come to u.s."
Whether this be correct or not, the
fact remains that this strike, If
allowed to continue, will disrupt the
functioning of the National Govern
ment. And that clearly is sufficient
reason to invoke the provisions of
the Smith-Connally Act, which
would mean that continuation Of the
strike, as strike, would subject
those responsible for it to criminal
penalties.
AS unsatisfactory as this is, it
remains the only remedy presently
available. If, in the future, there
is to be any better considered
formula for dealing with such fla
grant instances OF union irresponsi-
bility as this, Congress has both the
power and the reason to act.

Freedom for Poland

To the Editor Of The Star:
While expressing approval of Presi-
dent Truman's revival of the principles
of the Atlantic Charter, as outlined in
his Navy Day address, believe there
can be no cheering until the pledges are
fulfilled.
The United States must be well aware
by this time that the Stalin- controlled
Polish puppet government was created
not to preserve but to destroy Poland's
independence. A logical sequence,
therefore, to President Truman's re-
fusal ito recognize any government i'm
posed upon any nation by force Of for
eign power" should be the withdrawal
Of recognition Of the fraudulent gov
ernment with an alien president, super
imposed upon our first fighting ally
Poland. Such ofilcial action should be
coupled with a strong demand that
Russia withdraw her armies from
Poland.
The pledge that mo territorial
changes" will be approved unless they
accord with the freely expressed wishes
Of the people concerned" should mean
that the United States considers the
fate Of Eastern Poland, criminally an
nexed by Russia during the unholy
Hitler-Stalin alliance, not closed Incl

Early Greek Letter Societies

Early Greek Letter Societies
To the Editor OF The Star:
In The Star for November 13, there
was brief article stating that: THE
first Greek letter sorority. Kappa Alpha
Theta. was founded at De Pauw Uni
versity in January, 1870"
I wish to correct this statement by
saying Phi Beta Kappa, founded in
1776, was the first Greek letter society
The pledge manual of the Delta
Gamma Fraternity says: Phi Beta
Kappa, the first American society to
bear Greek letter name, was organ
lied at the College of William and
Mary, Williamsburg, Va, in the year of
1776. Its members were drawn to-
gether by mutual interest In scholar
ship and student activities.
Several local societies with Greek let
ter names were established as early as
1872 and continued to exist for several
years. Such societies were to be found
at the University of North Carolina,
Union College, Yale University, and
Princeton University. In many colleges,
societies Of literary character devel-
oped. Some Of them were secret, and
others were not. Some had Greek
notices expressing their ideals. The
meetings afforded opportunity for pro-
noting acquaintance among the stu
dents.
"In 1872 Kappa Alpha originated at
the University OF North Carolina, and
it established number of chapters
throughout the Southern States. In
1926 q Kappa Alpha Society was
formed at Union College. It met with op-
position, but was secretly popular with
the students. This popularity resulted
in the organization in the same coll
lege Of two other groups, Sigma Phi
and Delta Phi. These three societies,
sometimes called the Union Triad
were the pattern for the American fra
ternity system"

All Citizens Should Vote

IlS4ltccu years dICer tne seat OF
Government was established in
Washington, President James Mon
roe devoted a section of one of his
messages to Congress to the ques-
tion of voting rights for the people
of Washington.
by the Constitution the power of
legislation is exclusively vested in
the Congress of the United States" "
he wrote. I'm the exercise of this
power, in which the people have no
participation, Congress legislates in
all cases directly on the local con-
Germs of the District. AS this is a
departure for a special purpose from
the general principles of our system,
it may merit consideration whether
an arrangement better adapted to
the principles of our Government
and to the particular interests of the
people may not be devised which will
neither infringe the Constitution
nor affect the object which the pro-
vision in question was intended to
secure"
Other Presidents have from time
to time expressed themselves in the
same vein. Andrew Jackson urged
specifically the election by the Dis
tr1ct OF territorial delegate in
Congress, and this was eventually
done for brief period. President
Harrison asked: Are there, indeed,
citizens of any of our States who
have dreamed of their subjects in
the District of Columbia? y The
people of the District are not the
subjects of the people of the United
States, but free American citizens.
Being in the latter condition when
the Constitution was formed, no
words used in that instrument could
have been intended to deprive them
OF that character. "a" The grant
to Congress of exclusive Jurisdiction
In the District of Columbia can be
interpreted so far as concerns the
aggregate people of the United
States as meaning nothing more
than to allow to Congress the con-
trolling power necessary to accord a
free and safe exercise of the func-
tions assigned to the General Gov
ernment by the Constitution. ="
AS President Truman said yester-
day at his press conference, every
citizen of the United States should
have the right to vote, including the
citizens of Washington. His only
qualification was by way of refer
ence to difficulties which would have
to be worked out to the best interests
OF the citizens of Washington and
of the Government. The greatest of
these is to overcome the force of
inertia. which prevents a submission
of the question of the vote for Wash
Ing to Congress and to the people of
the United States.
Congress should continue in ex-
elusive control over the seat of Gov
ernment. But the people of Wash
ington should have voice in that
Government. The pending Summers
Capper resolution offers the "ar-
rangement better adapted to the
principles of our Government and
to the particular interests of the
people" to which President Monroe

Wants Truth About Conferences
As Aid to Education
~. Observation-Disclosures.

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t appears that Dorothy Thompson Is
renouncing the very great leader for
whom she SO tear-jerkingly campaigned,
by radio, only two or three nights before
the last presidential election. I heard
that broadcast and considered it one of
the greatest human interest stories"
and the most complimentary tribute
paid an individual during his natural
life time. Therefore, 1t seems a bit
amazing that Miss Thompson should
now speak of realism" for certainly
President Roosevelt must have been one
of the three great leaders at Teheran,
Yalta, and by representation, at San
Francisco.
If, in reality-and I agree-we are
asking for universal military training
because there is no peace-in our con-
sciences, our minds, our hearts, our
policies, our societies." are we to sink
into another state of lethargy as this
war caught us? II, our peace, "for which
our youngest and noblest died" has not
awakened our consciences, our minds,
our hearts to an understanding and
solution of the causes of war, what is
the answer?
/, for one, am sick of hearing about
why things are so, instead of what to
do about them. also am tired of read
ing that such and such conference"
has taken place, the discussions or de-
cisions Of which are not yet released. 1t
is our country, have we not the right to
know what is being done with and to it?
Are we such political imbeciles that the
truth must be withheld? 1t must be
time for political education-we. the
people, are supposed to be our own
rulers. VIOLA L. POTTS.

The recent Republican victories in
Connecticut, New Jersey, Michigan and
Upstate New York, think, were due in
no small part to the eloquence, level
headedness, patriotism, regard for the
four freedoms and love of their fellow
men of thsse Republicans, men and
women, In both houses of Congress, who
have not been afraid of speaking up in
behalf Of the Poles, the people of the
Baltic States and other victims of i'm
posed governments.
May I, whose relatives always be-
longed to the Democratic party Il my
self am Republican, express the hope
that the Northern Democrats in both
houses. who seem to have lost their
tongues these past Is years, will pay
closer attention to the guiding voices
and superior mentality of their Repub-
lican colleagues and those of the South
ern statesmen of their own party as
well, so that they, too, may learn to be
more than boodlers and may in time
get an inkling Of what 1t takes to be
worthwhile members of Congress?
