Threats to Freedom

Justice Jackson has sounded warning to
which lovers of individual freedom should pay
more than casual attention. Amid all the
global turmoil over totalitarian aggression the
Supreme Court jurst dscerns tendency on
the part of some of our citizens to overlook
less recognizable threats to their own liberties
at home. Properly on guard against any attack
on their freedom by enemies within their coun
try or abroad, these citizens, he fears, may
become apathetic toward inroads on their free
dom made in the name of benevolent govern
ment, especially at the Federal level.
There is no "clear and present danger" that
the undermining influences of centralized gov
ernment, apparent elsewhere, will "overtake" us
in the United States, Justice Jackson assured
the American Bar Association at its Boston
convention. But he believes that it would be
dangerous for the American people to become
so beguiled by SocialiStic welfare" schemes as
to barter away" their traditional liberties,
piece by piece, "for something else on which
the people place higher current value"
AS Justice Jackson pointed out, personal
freedom may be lost not only by violent over
throw of democratic rule but by the gradual
process of erosion. He specified some of the
eroding elements as follows: I'm this anxiety
ridden time many are ready to exchange some
Of their liberties for q real or fancied increase
In security against external foes, internal be-
trayers or criminals. Others are eager to bar
gain away local controls for q Federal subsidy
Many will give up individual rights for promise
of collective advantages. The real question
posed by the Fascist and Communist move
mentS, which together have captivated large
part Of the worlds population, Is whether, to-
day, liberty is regarded by the masses Of men
as their most precious possession. Certainly
in the minds of many foreign peoples our type
of individual liberty has been outvalued by
promises of social welfare and economic Sc
curity which they want too passionately to be
critical of the price. If this indifference to
traditional values should spread to u.s. it would
be the greatest threat to our own liberties.
Any expansion of government means an
expansion of Federal authority over the people
and their properties. Justice Jackson does not
go along with those who seek to differentiate
between Federal invasion of property rights and
Federal invasion of personal rights He told
the lawyers that "every foreign state that has
deprived persons of fundamental property
rights has eventually also taken away the
rights of the person." While the courts can
deal with officials who overstep authority,
much of the curtailment of property or per-
Sonal rights can be done within the law beyond
reach of the courts. The only bulwark against
this type of suppression is an awakening by
the people to the dangers implicit in a con-
Justice Jackson's warning should help to keep
Americans alert against the evils which have
engulfed so many unwary peoples.

The Growing Classroom SHORTAGE

School-enrollment figures Just released by
the Federal Office of Education show the seri-
BUSINESS of the school problems with which
most of the country-including especially the
Washington Metropolitan Area-iS wrestling
right now. The outlook this fall is for the
largest school population in the Nations his
tory, with an alarmingly inadequate supply of
classroom space in which to put it, The
shortage Of school facilities is particularly acute
in areas which have felt what the experts call
Federal impact" Washington and It's Mary
land and Virginia suburbs are excellent ex-
amples OF what this impact of Government
expansion can do to local communities.
According to Lee Thurston, Commissioner
OF Education, the enrolment in elementary and
secondary schools for the 1953-54 academic
year is expected to exceed last years enrolment
by more than million children. The official
estimate is that 34,233 900 children will troop
to claSsroomS during the next term, in many
Instances badly overcroWding already crowded
school buildings and makeshift quarters COM
mandeered in the past for the overflow. In the
Washington area some of the overflow in the
past has been housed in quonset-type huts, fire
halls and storage rooms A survey by Federal
officials has revealed that the shortage for
elementary and secondary schools of the Ma
ton amounts to approximately 345000 class
rooms. Three out of every five claSSrooms will
be overcrowded this fall and winter One out
of every five children will attend a school
which does not meet minimum fre-Safety re-
quirements.
The picture is even darker if one looks be-
yond the new school year. Mr.. Thurston says
that it is estimated that by 1860 there will be
at least 10 million more students in the schools
and colleges than there were last spring. And
school construction continues to lag far behind
enrolment progress. Last year about $4,000
clasSroomS were added to the Nationwide
school system, but this pace is still too slow to
catch up with deficiencies and provide for new
enrollments. The construction pace will have
to be stepped up considerably to supply the
425, 900 additional claSSrooms which school au-
thoritieS say will be needed by 1860. This is
particularly true in Washington and vicinity,
because OF the referred-to impact" of Federal
growth. Schools cost a lot more than they
formerly did and school budgets have risen
steadily over the past decade. That means
higher and higher slices of the tax revenues
and higher taxes If other community needs are
TO be met too. 1t is painful prospect for the
taxpayers, but they cannot afford to let the
children down.

While the Union Army was withdraw

over the Little River pike in an effort

whose troops had formed the rear

Both Stevens and Kearny-then divi-

Penetrating the Curtoin

We should seek to counteract the
Russian peace offensive with statements
of what we want and desire for the
German, Austrian and other enslaved,
non-RusSian peoples. The demands
should be based on the highest moral
and Christian principles, and they
should be broadcast not only to the
German and Austrian people but to the
free world as well.
The Russians have caught us off,
guard again by broadcasting a note
that they have handed to American,
British, and French leaders, so that
they could definitely influence the Ger
man election in September. If by their
peace propaganda the Communists get
complete control of Germany, then it
will be only a short time until all
Europe will come under Russian domi-
nation.
We have no time to lose; we should
act at once. We should notify Russia
that we will talk only about certain
matters, such as a united Germany and
Austria, giving the German and Aus
trian people the privilege of establish
ing their own government, freedom to
vote without coercion, freedom Of
speech. freedom of religion, freedom of
the press, free enterprise, and treaty
with all of Germany. accepting them
as free people among the nations of
the world.
We should not only let the German
people know that we are demanding
their freedom, but also the other Rus
sian satellite countries. We should
send these messages by Radio Free
Europe. Voice of America, and balloon
barrage. We should also arrange to
train and send thousands of refugees
back to these countries, and let their
fellow countrymen know that we want
for them all the liberties and freedom
that we enjoy in America.

Indiu's Position
The argument of the American
United Nations delegation that be-
cause India has not been one Of the
U. N combatants in Korea that she
therefore should be excluded as a
participant in the coming political con-
ference on Korea seems groundleSS.
Similarly, the argument appears to be
a bit contradictory.
1t is claimed that the United States
will vote reluctantly" for the inclu-
sion of Russia as a conference partici-
pant and "only if the other side North
Korea and Red China) desires to have
her on their side of the table" The
argument in support of this COM
promised position has been, as stated
by Mr.. Lodge. United States Chief U. N.
delegate, that Russia actively aided
aggression and should be held reSpon-
sible and accountable for peace"
Indeed an almost similar argument
can be used for the inclusion of India.
India, while having been a noncom-
batant in Korea, has actively aided
the resisters of the Red aggression.
She has been the most aggressive"
forerunner for the peace; for the truce
which has brought this present cessa-
ton of hostilities on the Korean
peninsula. 1t was India's plan the U. N.
adopted and started the ball rolling, so
to speak, for the truce, prisoner ex-
change, and subsequent political con-
ference. India has lent hospital teams
to the U. N. combatantS.
Moreover, because Of the Asiatic
leadership in the Far East position i'm
posed upon India by us and others,
India, like Russia. will be "held respon-
sible and accountable for peace"
In short. if Russia is to be included
in the political conference on Korea
as "non-belligerent" alder to aggres-
sion Gndirect aggressor), the argument
presents itself that India too should
be participant in the conference as
noncombatant alder to the resisters
