Investing time and attention in
older people pays excellent div
idends. Younger people have a
way of overlooking that fact.
Some don't know it; others for
get it.
In the first place youth can
learn much from experience of
age. They can save themselves
many hard lessons in the school
of experience. Each generation
passes through the experience of
thinking that their parents are
Sld-fashioned and out-of-date. AS
they grow in knowledge and
experience they come around to
the conclusion that their parents
generation had some considerable
wisdom after all. I recall the
time, after having passed through
period when I thought my par
ents were "old fashioned" that I
came to the conclusion that if l
did as well at their age as they
had done, I would be most for
tunate.

Study of Higher Education

LIE loTCleCn annual report OF the
Carnegie Foundation for the Ad-
vancement of Teaching, published
few days ago, contains paper on
recent appraisals of higher educa-
ton which surely will have wide
reading among university and COL
lege people, if not among the gen.
crafty OF citizens. DR.. Kenneth w.
Vaughn, associate director of the
Graduate Record Office, is the
author. His attempt to Judge "the
product" of institutions of higher
learning is based on the application
OF collective measurement" to the
activities of students. Whether he
succeeds in his endeavor will be de-
cided by professional authorities.
The lay public meanwhile is apt to
be more interested in the definitions
which he has adopted.
DR.. Vaughn'S conception of the
aims" of higher education may be
regarded as case in point. They
are three in number-namely: "A
more searching exploration and
recognition of the individuals
capacities than the secondary schools
can effect" equipment for a better
Informed and more active partici-
patton in the serious business of
society at large" and preparation
for vocation which either requires
intensive study and training in a
specialized area of human knowledge
and experience or offers some pre-
MUM of leadership to those whose
general command of the wisdom
derived from knowledge exceeds that
typically to be attained in the
secondary school,"
But these aims DR.. Vaughn ex-
plains, are not sufficiently explicit"
to be employed as a basis for an
educational program. He says: "They
must be translated into specific
studies and disciplines" in order to
accomplish the desired results"
Perhaps there has been too much
heavy emphasis" on specialization.
New objectives" admittedly are
appearing, welcomed by some insti-
tutions and resisted by others; and
many colleges seek to develop gen.
eral competence over a wide range
of knowledge cultural, or possibly
a practical outcome"
DR.. Vaughn also finds that "per-
sonal adjustment, social competence,
breadth of interests and activities,
and other less tangible, but no less
important, outcomes" also receive
varying amounts of attention"
What may be deemed most note
worthy in his inquiry Is the dis

from within the council itself. 1t can
go ahead and hear the Iranians-if they
40 not get cold feet in the interim and,
under pressure from Russia, withdraw
their complaint. Even in that event, the
British could call the Iranian situation"
to the attention of the Council-just as
the Russians, for example, have called
the Greek situation to its attention.
Mr.. Bevin, for the British, has well
coined a Council inquiry into the Greek
and IndoneSian situation. These are the
charges he demanded be brought into
the open.
If there is anything in the idea that
open debates in the Security Council,
Ventllating international disputes fully.
will influence world opinion, and world
opinion in its turn will help to bring
about adjustments and peace, it is about
to be demonstrated. The complaints now
filed with the Council involve directly
two OF the great powers-Russia and the
United Kingdom-and several of the
smaller nations, Iran, Greece and the
Netherlands. The Council, which is
scarcely dry behind the ears, so recently
was it born, is getting the works.
The attitude of the United States dele
gates has been that, although it might
have been better to get the organization
completed-a secretary general, for ex-
ample, has not yet been chosen-the Sc
curity Council would be regarded as a
failure, as would the whole UNO, if it
lodged these political issues. The Coun-
Gil was designed to deal with just such
problems in the interest of world peace.
That the immediate complaints should
have brought Russia and Britain into
conflict may be unfortunate-or it may
not. Sooner or later, these two members
OF the United Nations-and the United
States-have got to learn to lie down in
peace, or there will be no peace. Further,
the confidence of the smaller nations in
the new organization would have been
greatly impaired If the Iranian COM
plant against Russia had been cavalierly
tossed aside. The attitude of the Council
may emholden other small nations to
come forward and ask for redress.

This Changing World
By Constantine Brown

The next few days may indicate
whether the United Nations Organiza-
ton Is going to be mere debating soci-
ETY. or whether 1t will have the power
and prestige to enforce peace and pre-
vent strong nations from imposing their
will forcefllly on weaker states.
Russia Is now on record as opposing
strongly the plea Of the Iranian govern
ment that situation which might af-
feet the peace of the world exists be-
tween the two governments, and the
UNO Council has agreed to take up
Trans complaint next Monday.
The head of the Soviet delegation,
Andrei Vishinsky, claims that no
dangerous situation exists and that the
alleged dispute between Teheran and
Moscow should be settled by bilateral
conversations between the two govern
ments.
The stand taken by the Soviet delega-
ton at the UNO is refuted, for the time
being unonicially, by the American Gov
ernment. Ever since the secession of
Northern Iran, the Teheran government
attempted to negotiate with Moscow.
Its claims that Trans sovereignty was
being disregarded by Russian armed
forces and special agents, who fomented
the separationist movement in Azerbai-
jan, were rejected by the Soviet govern
ment, which stated that democratic"
elements in that area were solely re-
sponsible for what was happening.
1ranian troops were forbidden to enter
Azerbaijan, as were foreign observers.
*%A
Presentation of the Iranian case be-
fore the Security Council could not have
been prevented by the Russian delegate,
because the veto power is limited to de-
cisions on action to be taken and not
to the hearing of complaints. The So
Wet representatives have the power,
however, to prevent any actual inter-
vention in the dispute.
There is much speculation in official
quarters about the next step the U. S. S.
r. may take when the Iranian complaint
is taken up by the Security Council.
Vice Commissar for Foreign Affairs
Andrei Vishinsky placed Russia on
record as "categorically opposed" to the

AS to the present state of the Iranian
discussions, it is perhaps too early to
assume that the Russians have been
"amateurish" in bringing up the Greek
and Indonesian situations as counter
charges" against Great Britain. The
British position is that they would well
come the fullest investigation of these
two matters, and the prompt support
which they have received from the
Greeks and Dutch and even, rather
astonishingly, from the Indonesian
leader. Mr.. Sutan Sjahrir, tends to put
the Russians in somewhat ridiculous
light But it is quite possible that the
Russians are shrewdly seeking to try
their case not IN the Security Council
but before the court of American public
opinion. Except for Palestine, Britain
has not for years had as bad a press in
this country on any subject as on these
two--Java and Greece. Attacks on
British actions there might tend to
obscure, in the eyes of the American
public, the merits of the situation in
Iran.
The Iranians themselves have not
been particularly helpful in keeping the
record straight. The resignation of the
Iranian Prime Minister at the very mo-
ment that Trans case is being presented
In London leaves the Iranian delegation
to the UNO ina most unenviable DO
sitlon, as it must be wholly lacking in
authority until new cabinet is chosen
and it receives fresh instructions. In
this connection, the report from Teheran
that the United States Ambassador is
favoring the candidacy of Mr.. Ghavam
Saltaneh for the premiership can be
categorically denied. Mr.. Saltaneh has
been very helpful to Americans in the
past, but the American Embassy, it is
learned, is being most careful to avoid
taking part in Iranian politics.
A similar attitude is being maintained
by the American delegation in London,
which has not-aS has been hastily as
Sumed In some quarters-partic in
advising the Iranian delegation not to
present its case at this time. While
there can be little doubt that Mr.. Byrnes
and his associates would be happier if
presentation of Trans case could have
been delayed until the Security Council
was more firmly established, the Amer
lean delegation has firmly declined to
take the responsibility Of offering any
advice whatever to the Iranians. as to
whether or not they should take action
now. It is extremely important to keep
this in mind In order not to prejudice
the American position when the matter
does come before the Security Council
for examination.
