and outside influences who are seek

faction.
The Libyan National Assembly set

visional basis. with Mohamed Idris AL

ereignty has been returned gradually

French in the Fezzan. Some foreign
advisers will remain until Libyans
can take over. but foreign authority
will cease next week.
Powerful Opposition
The opposition faction. the National
Congress Party, is against a federal
system. and wants stronger central
government.
According to Munir Burshan, Lib
yam parliamentary secretary, Egypt
is backing the opposition because it
considers the new government pro-
Western.
The National Congress Party, whose
large parliamentary membership
gives 1t strong legal power, also is
not averse to using violence, Mr..
Burshan charges. In June. when
the King visited Tripoli. bomb was
tossed and riot ensued. Some Lib
yans assert that the opposition was
behind the incident. Mr.. Burshan,
himself, was the object of an assassi-
nation attempt last May.

against clandestine radio communi-
cation, and moved to establish mill
tary cooperation and free the air
and sea lanes.
Survived Demobilzotion
It's success was such that it was
one of the agencies to survive after
the war. The Mexico City confer
ence on problems of war and peace
in 1945 confirmed its importance.
The United Nations charter backed
up such regional arrangements and
the Rio de Janeiro conference of
1948 reaffirmed the principle of col
lective defense.
Consequently when the Organiza-
tion of American States was formed
in Bogota, Colombia, in 1868, its
charter set up an advisory defense
committee and the Inter American
Defense Board was given a new role.
At the time, long-range planners
figured that 1856 would be a reason
able date for perfection of such plans.
The Korean outbreak in 1850 over
ruled such thinking. The board
sprang to action and documented its
main plan right away Military mis-
sions started operating in Cuba and
Colombia.
Today, the board is following
through with its idea of co-ordinated
defense. highest efficiency with exist
ing forces and overall protection Of
the channels through which metals
and materials essential to all the re-
publicS must flow
The board is set up to stay in
business Indefinitely, regardless of
what happens to NATO, or disarma-
ment. 1t has its grass roots in the
Monroe Doctrine which announced
that the American continents we're
no longer subject to foreign colonial
ton and any move to influence them
would be considered a threat to
peace and safety.
There is always threat and when
any foreign power seiZes an Atlantic
port. this country usually finds itself
involved. The principle of collective
defense is also engendered by the
half century of cultural, economic
and scientific interchange between
North and South America. so that
collaboration in the military field is
but another step in consultative ac-
ton.

Dr.. Durden's DiIennnnu-
University President Gets Into Difficulties
With His Pronuncionento on Ounces
By Colt HendIey, Jr.

DR.. Colgate w. Darden, jr.. presi-
dent of the University of Virginia,
startled quite q few parents and edu-
Gators recently when he came out and
advocated throwing the ounces out Of
the public schools.
The university president didn't put
1t quite that bluntly. But, he did say
that holding unwilling, uninterested
and comparatively less competent
children in school after the seventh
grade was a mistake.
"They are dead weights on the rest
of the students" he declared.
The reactions have been coming
in ever since.
Edgar Fuller, executive secretary
of the National Council of Chief State
School Officers. declared that DR..
Darden apparently wanted to "roll
back educational opportunity rather
than adapt education to modern
needs"
DR.. Buell. G. Gallagher. high
official of the United States Office
of Education. said that the need for
education through high school for
all is justified if the program is
suited to the needs of all.
Paul E. Flicker, executive secretary
of the National Association of Sec
ondary School Principals. said Amer
ican democracy demands the provi-
sion for equal opportunity for all
youth through the secondary school
level.
1--WE made statements on this
many times before" DR.. Darden said.
"It's not a new idea"
He said that Thomas Jefferson,
who founded the University Of Vir-
ginia, laid down the basic principles
of public education and the COM
pulsory education law does not fol-
low these principles. Jefferson. incl
dentally, headed the first Board Of
Education in the District. although
there is no record that he ever at
tended a meeting. He was President
at the time.
Wouldn't Repeal Low
"I wouldn't repeal the compulsory
education law" DR.. Darden con-
tinued. "but I feel after the grade
schools, a better selection of students
should be permitted"
He said that those not interested in
book learning" should be given
training in manual skills for what
they can do and for what they want
to do. He added that holding them
on in high school just because the law

and claims descent from the Prophet
Of Islam. For many years he fought
against Italian rule and then went
into exile in Egypt, where he directed
a Senussi defense force, fighting with
the British Army against Marshal
Rommel's desert forces.
Strangely enough, there now is
relative harmony between the Libyans
and the Italian community of $4,000.
now that Libyans are not under the
Italian yoke. Mussolini brought
much material progress to Tripoli,

housing projects He also built a

worlds finest and are expected to be

American dollars. But II Duce still
was foreign ruler, and Libyans are
much happier without him.
Point-Four Aid Sought
Mr.. Burshan has been in the United
States for about month on a Point
Four survey. He also is studying the
methods of Congress, the courts and
relationship between the States and
the Federal Government.
The plan of rehabilitation and
progress that Libya intends to launch
will require capital and trained men.
The new kingdom already is re-
ceiving some United States aid under
the point-four program for rehabili-
tation Of backward countries. De-
velopment of a water supply in the
arid nation has top priority. The State

akin to treason. The majority of
those under house arrest or in prison
in Red China are missionaries.
There also is, of course, the in
nate xenophobia of the Chinese to
take into consideration. Chinese
traditionally hate foreigners-"for-
eign devilS'-and under the Red
regime they are having their first
opportunity to make their aversion
to outsiders stick.
The State Departments answer on
what is being done to see that the
Americans are released was no an
Swer at all-plus an official statement
explaining why no answer was given
that relatives feared reprisals, and
that other countries aiding in the
negotiations felt official publicity
might hamper what is being done,
whatever that is.
There is evidence, however, that
something is being done, perhaps
by other nations.
How effective the efforts will be
remains to be seen. So far, the
only ones who have been freed
nine in all-were set free on the
initiative of the Chinese. They we're
tried, and then expelled from the
country.
Expulsion of aliens has never pre-
Sented the serious problem that i'm
prisonment does. The ones expelled
from Red China have told grim
tales of being submitted to indigni-
ties that turn the stomachs of decent
men. Whether reparations will be
asked will have to wait on the out
come of negotiations for release Of
the other Americans held. And then,
whether reparations can be enforced
will be another debatable question.

ing into operation.
A big source of income to individ-
uals is Americas huge Wheelus Air
Force Base, which is used by the
Military Air Transport Service. Rent
is paid to the owners for the land
used by the field and many natives
work there.
Refinery Needed
There are millions of olive trees in
Libya, but there is immediate need
of an olive oil refinery Mr.. Burshan
hopes to interest American capital in
such venture.
Libyan salt is considered of the
best quality to be found in the whole
Mediterranean area. with giant de-
posits near Tripoi and Misurata.
Other important. but comparatively
undeveloped natural resources are
esparto grass. which is used in max
ing paper and ce!lulose; sponges, date
palms. citrus fruits and grapes.
Tripolitania's main asset is farm
ing. Cyrenaicas big problem is
water, but with irrigation. this dis
trict could grow date palms. vege-
tables and fruits.
The Fezzan produces date trees,
wheat. dates. barley, sorghum and
millet.

after II other constitutions. including
those of the United States, Burma

Immediately forthcoming.
President Roosevelt turned the
matter over to the European squad
ron of the United States Navy, COM
manded by Capt. Harrison Gray Otis
Colby. The Presidents order was:
Get Perdicaris alive or Rais-Uli
dead"
Capt. Colby went with the Euro
pean squadron to Morocco. planning
to send a punitive expedition inland
after Rais-Uli. But when the Navy
showed the flag along the Moorist
coast. the chieftain decided on dis
cretion as the better part of valor.
and turned Perdicaris over to the
Americans unharmed.
Treason Means Coution
Governments have always been re-
luctant to move swiftly in cases where
the arrested national is accused of
treason, murder or some other high
crime.
What makes the situation particu-
larly tense today is the weird inter-
probation Communists put on the
word treason" In the eyes of the
Communists, any one who doesn't
hew to the party line is guilty of
treason, whether he's a citizen or
an alien. The idea that one must
bear faith to a country to break
faith with it is foreign to the Reds.
Through history, nations have held
to the practice of granting aliens
freedom of religion. This has not
been true in the Communist coun-
tries, where practice of religion is

Reds Write New international Law
By Jock Jones'

The arrest Of IS Americans by the
Red Chinese is another paragraph in
the new chapter the Communists have
been writing for years in the inter-
national law books.
When Senator Knowland, Republic
can. of California published the
names OF 80 among the 55 who are
being held in Chinese prisons. it came
as no news to the State Department.
Neither was 1t news to the families
Of the men and women involved.
But the rights of aliens in all
countries has been one Of the touch
lest and most complex problems
statesmen have had to face in deal
ings between nations.
One of the fallacies which exists
is the belief that when an American
enters a foreign country, he goes
there under the protection Of the
American flag.
T. R. Mode 1t So
Theoretically, this has never been
true, although Theodore Roosevelt.
who wasn't man to take any nom
sense from any one. made it almost
an accepted practice when he was
President. Actually. an American
abroad is as liable to arrest as any
one else, and little can be done
about it.
Where the Government can bring
its gun to bear, figuratively, is in
a situation where an obvious injus-
tice has been done.
Then again, in theory, the Gov
ernment can move only when the
American has exhausted all judicial
remedies available to him in the
country involved, however meager
these remedies might be.
No Defense
Another basis for Government in
tervention is in cases where no de-
fenSe is allowed in proceedings
against the alien in question. That
this forms basis for Intervention
in the current cases in Red China
was indicated last week by two mis-
sionaries who were expelled after
trial on spy charges. They said they
had been allowed no defense in the
Communist trials.
Whenever an American is arrested
on foreign soil. and imprisoned, and
the case becomes known to the pub
lie at home. tremendous pressure
is exerted for the Government to
do something about it."
This is particularly true when the
arresting nation is one around which
feeling of i'll will already has been
built, such as Communist China,
Hungary in the Vogeler case, or
Red Czechoslovakia, in the case OF
William Oats.
And then the tedious processes
Of international dealings shorten the
temper Of the public.
The Perdicoris Cose
Under Theodore Roosevelt, the
public barely had time to get warmed
up before something was being done.
Take as an example the case of an
American named Perdicaris.
In 1904, when Perdicaris and his
stepson were travelling in Morocco,

Hemisphere Defense
The 81 Republics Work Well Together
In Forging American Military Solidarity
By Quentin R. Mott

While great emphasis is placed on
the development and coordination
of defense forces within the frame
work of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization, and on defense pro-
duction at home. the United States
has by no means neglected its second
great line of defense, the her1l-
spheric bastion.
For three years since its reorgani-
zation, the Inter American Defense
Board has been going quietly about
its work, and is ready virtually at the
drop of a bomb to protect the 81
American republics.
The organization calls for no enor-
nous build-up of forces; it makes no
astronomical outlay of funds; it en-
cages in no parliamentary parrying.
Operating on budget of around
100000 year, its speciality is studied
planning, with a big underscoring of
logisticS.
To say that it is prepared is not
to say the boards work is done. 1t
is continuing job, calling for re-
vision and re-estimation according
to the changing pattern of economics
and the inventive genius of war
makers.
Two Defense Documents
What the board has produced.
since the Korean war began, is set
of two documents on collective de-
fense. First is the Common Defense
Scheme for the American Continent"
which was drawn up in October 1850
and second is the Estimate of Situa-
tion." They are product Of the

some flexibility in the law to enable
those who cannot benefit further
from education to be excused from
school, he said.
II feel we would accomplish q lot
by re-examining our present educa-
tional policies" Dr. Darden said.
What DR.. Darden is hitting. at is a
problem that has been concerning
educators much in the past few years.
Basically. it is that high schools are
not doing their job because of the
type of programs offered. Good stu
dents are handicapped by being
pulled to the level Of the less COM
petent students and the poor students
are either not in school or banging
away at studies absolutely uncon-
nected with what they will do a.
adults.
Opponents Views
DR.. Gallagher puts it this way:
Certainly we would all question
whether or not every boy and girl
should be expected to 60 through IL
grades of schooling If the educational
opportunity offered were designed to
meet the needs Of only small frac-
ton"
He pointed out that high school
education once was synonymous with
preparation for college. Since less
than one of five high school students
go to college. the other four were
being forced to go through the mo-
tions of college preparatory work.
This situation was partially cor
rected, he continued, with the intro
duction of vocational education. That
took care of another one Of every

story of racial hatred that BIAS
