II we are going to meet the problems
Of the day. DR.. Studebaker said that
this could be achieved by making
q solid core OF education available
to all. Such q core would be COM
posed Of certain basic studies which
educators believe are essential to a
solidarity of democratic thought.
The commissioner OF education sees
this core as q reinforcement of men,
tai iron in the moral structure Of the
nation.
When you talk about making this
core available to all. that Is not the
complete picture. Men like Doctor
Studebaker would have this group
OF basic studies required Of all stu

BahaiPoinis
Out Industrial
Justice

The right and duty of the civil
government to establish industrial
justice and intervene in all dis
putes between labor and manage
ment was clearly defined in the
Bahaf teachings as long ago as
1907, the National Bahai Assem-
bly, points out. The government
tai function, according to the As
sembly's statement, rests upon
the fact that the rights of the
general public are supreme over
those of any particular group.
"The interference of courts of
justice and of the government in
difficulties pending between man
ufacturers and Workmen is legal,
for the reason that current af-
fairs between Workmen and
manufacturers cannot be COM
pared with ordinary affairs be-
tween private persons, which do
not concern the public, and with
which the government should not
occupy itself.
In reality, although they ap-
pear to be matters between pri-
vate persons, these difficulties
between patrons and workmen
produce a general detriment; for
commerce, industry, agriculture
and the general affairs of the
country are all intimately linked
together. The court of justice
and the government have there
fore the right, of interference"
The Baha'i principle of indus
trial justice as set forth by ABB
du1-Baha, recognizes the need of
a general social policy imple-
mented by definite laws and
statutes if government control is
to be effective in the public in
terest. Therefore, laws and
regulations" 'Abdul-Baha ex-
planned, should be established
which would permit the work
men to receive from the factory
owner their wages and a share in
the fourth or fifth part of the
profits, according to the wants of
the factory; or in some other way
the body of workmen and the
manufacturers should share equit
ably the profits and advantages.
Indeed, the direction and admin
istration of affairs come from the
owner of the factory, and the
work and labor from the body
of the workmen." These laws
are to assure moderate profits
to manufacturers, and to work
men the necessary means of ex-
istence and security for the fu-
ture." Without this balance
civilization falls prey to eytrem.

ing, listening, speaking, Since radio
bfoadeasts are heard daily by multi
pied millions. critical listening
should be vital part of the basic
educational program.
Since freedom of expression is an
essential attribute of democracy,
citizens need to develop critical
thinking in order to evaluate the
powerful influence of communica-
ton and propaganda constantly
brought to bear on them.

us pay $40 per month. Now, |
think that is too much and |
don't know how to make him
bring it back down to what it
was. Shold | talk to my husband
or the man?
Ans: Neither one. Your hus-
band would resent your going
over his head in a matter of this
kind. Your husband is conscien-
tious and knew that your apart
ment was worth more than what
he was originally paying and you
should appreciate his fairminded
spirit. The housing situation is
critical and you must not do any
thing to jeopardize your living
quarters.

B. M. D.-My husband has just
returned from service. He did
not go overseas. When he came
home it seemed that some of his
so-called friends told him that
were going with men which was
untrue. But, while in service |
did meet man l thought l liked
very much but when my husband
came home | let this fellow alone.
l told him before hand that | was
married and had five children.
Since my husband returned he
has beat me on two occasions SO
badly that l had to 60 to the hos
pital. You see it is like this,
live by my parents and several
other people that my husband
doesn't like and my father told
me if l was going to continue to
live with my husband l would
have to leave their home because
the strain of all this brutal treat
ment was too much for him. He
said he was afraid sometimes he
would come home and find me
dead SO | want to know what to
do?
: Ans: A mother with five chill
dren needs husband. your
father can't assume that respon-
sibility. You know your hus-
bands jealous disposition and you
are going to have to avoid any
thing that might arouse his sus-
pieion. If he persists on trying
to hurt you, you will have to
take legal steps as that would be
your only alternative. If it is at
all possible, however, you should
help him control this trait and
keep your little family together.
He had enough to burn him to
the quick hut that is no excuse
for his abusing you as he has
done. Convince him as quickly
as possible that you are going to
be loyal and true throughout
your future marriage.

x. XII am 81 years old and
teach in the high school here.
am in love with a very fine man
of 80. He is not educated but
as | see it, he would make a
swell husband. He is a coal miner
and does not drink or gamble. |
am wondering if ! should consider
the educational angle when it
comes to marrying him. Also
there is another problem. He has
been going with another woman
older than he and he pays her
rent. He wants to get rid of her
but she threatens him. He has
asked that | wait on him for six
months Which will give him time
to get rid of her. Tell me what
TO do?
Ans: A six months waiting
period will give you an opportu7
nifty to decide if he is good
marriage prospect. On the sur
face he appears to have the
qualifications that you are look
ing for but time will bring to
light his true characteristics. The
Fact that he is deeply involved
with another woman is sufficient
reason for you not to rush into
matrimony. Give him a chance
to make a decision and know his
true mind before you accept his
love or commit yourself. His
lack of education should not be
a stumbling bloc. if he is smart
and aggressive he can easily over
come this obstacle. The main
issues to be considered are a deep
and devoted love, compatibility
and the ability to understand and
cooperate.

charged from service and | am

my last year. / desire to be-
come a pharmacist and am won

to set?

rate that you know what it is
you want and possess the initia-
tive to go after it, You are single
and can get by very we'll on the
money allotted for this training

 Tt is not surprising that Japan csc propaganda, especially after Japan had begun to suffer serious defeats has tried to distort and give a false meaning to our memoran- dunn of Nov. 26 by referring to it as an 'ultimatum"
 Opposed To Second Munich
 Hull said that as result of his and President Roosevelt's Closeup conversations with the Japanese over a period of months, in which they showed no disposition to aban- don their course of conquest, we ware thoroughly satisfied that a n eNting with (Japanese premier) KonoSe could only result either in another Munich or in nothing at all, unless Japan was ready to give some clear evidence of a purpose to move in peaceful direction.
 T was opposed to the first Nun ich and still more opposed to second Munich"
 Hull said the presentation of the counter-proposal was made in order to keep alive conversations and gain time for our Army and Navy to pre- pare.
 Hull also told of Chinese appeals coming at that time for American and British air forces to aid in rorestalling a possible Japanese drive on Running. He asked the Army and Navy to study the ap- peals. Veto China Arms Gen. George c. Marshall, Army

fleet from Hawaii was discussed at the White House luncheon.
 Does Not Remember
 Leahy said he did mot remember that 1t was discussed in that way"
 Ferguson recalled Richardson's statement that the President said the fleet was to be kept in Hawaii as "a restraining influence on Japan.
 Leahy said that If the fleet were in shape for battle 1t might have been deterrent.
 Ferguson then referred to Rich ardson's statement that MT. Roose- welt had said he could be convinced of the desirability of returning the fleet to the West Coast if there were way to convince the American people and the Japanese govern ment that in bringing the battle ships to the West Coast we are not stepping backwards"
 Leahy said he had some recollec- tion which I cannot locate at that luncheon" of fear being expressed that withdrawing the fleet would make the Jays think we were "step- ping backward"
 "The President never indicated to me that he could declare war; Leahy said.
 Surprised In Memory That would be 8 function of other branches of the government. Leahy said MT. Roosevelt might have said he would recommend it."
 Leahy said he was "surprised' by Richardson's recollection that MT Roosevelt said we would not go to war if Japan invaded the Philip pines.
 From my knowledge of the Pres ident," he said, T feel quite sure that if the Japanese had invaded the Philippines, The President would have recommended declara- tion of war"
 Barkley asked Leahy if the Vichy government made the agreements permitting the Japanese to go into Indo-China under pressure" from the Germans.
 Leahy replied that Petain had told him Nazi pressure twas so heavy he could not refuse'' to allow the Jap- anese to send men into Indo- China Leahy then was excused.

help it determine whether the State department bore any responsibility for the Pearl Harbor disaster. An Army board said in a report made public last August that Hull's Nov. 26, 1941, proposal to Japan was used by the Japanese as the signal to begin the war by the attack on Pearl Harbor."
 Rep. Bertrand W. Gearhart, R., committee members, told a press conference last week that the Hull proposal was an "ultimatum" which precipitated the war.
 In his testimony today defending the State departments action, Hull described preliminary negotiations with Japan in 1941 and then told of the Nov. 20 Japanese proposal, which he described as extreme"
 The Nov. 20 Japanese proposal was the one in which Japan and the United States would have prom iSed not to make an armed move into Southeast Asia or the South Pacific, to restore commercial rela- tions and to cooperate i'll obtaining needed materials in the East Indies. Japan would have pledged to with draw troops from French Indo- China peace was restored in China, and the United States would have promised to supply Japan with oil and to wisdraw support from China.
 Acceptance Unthinkable
 "To have accepted the Japanese proposal of Nov. 20 was clearly un- thinkable," Hull said. Ut would have made the United States an ally of Japan in Japan's program of conquest and aggression and of collaboration with Hitler"
 Hull said the government then took the only possible course by seeking to present "a reasonable counter-proposal". That proposal, submitted to Japanese envoys Nov. 26, called for recognition of the principles of territorial integrity of all nations, of non-interference in internal affairs, of equality and of reliance on international coopera- tion to present and settle disputes.
 The proposed agreement also would have provided for commercial pacts. recognition of the Chungking

Statesmen Testifies Hull Denies GiUir1g Utinatun1 to Japs

Washington, Nov. 23-(UP)-For- mer Secretary of State Cordell Hull denied today that the United States had addressed any pre-Pearl Har- bor ultimatun1 to Japan. He said that it was Japan's proposal to this country which was an unacceptable ultimatum.
 Hull in effect disclaimed State department responsibility for the Pearl Harbor disaster in a 22,000- word statement to the Congressional Pearl Harbor Investigating commit tee. In 1t he reviewed Japanese American diplomatic relations dur ing the critical years before the Japanese struck Pearl Harbor Dec. ', 1941.
 No Hope On Parleys
 The 74-year-old statesman who won the Nobel Peace Prize for 1945, testified that from the outset he had scant hope for success in the 1941 diplomatic negotiations with Japan.
 Hull also emphasized:
 l. That he had warned of the attack at one cabinet meeting and possibility of a surprise Japanese two war council meetings during the month before Pearl Harbor.
 2. That the members of the war council were in constant" touch with one another during the months before Pearl Harbor.
 3. That the United States did not negotiate with threats or with "a chip on our shoulder"
 4. That President Roosevelt did not accept Japanese Premier Prince Fumimaro Konoye's pro- posal for face-to-face confer ence because the administration was convinced it could result only "in another Munich or in nothing at all"
 5. That the United States &C., cepted the Japanese request for diplomatic discussions in 1941 be- cause it had a faint hope of achieving 8 peaceful settlement of Pacific problems and it also wanted to give the Army and Navy time to strengthen their de- lenses.
