One of the men who is men
toned as possible Democratic
clark horse" presidential candi-
date, Gov. Robert B. Meyner of
New jersey, has now proposed an
ambitious plan to subsidize the
commuter railroads in his state
to the tune Of some $630,000,000
in the next % years. He wants
SURPRISES diverted from the New
Jersey Turnpike Authority.
The plan may or may not be
good. But it seems to me that if
the public is to subsidize the rail
roads to this extent, it should
have big say in their manage
ment and ownership. So far all
the plans I have read about make
no mention of this point. The
railroad executives apparently
regard such suggestions as $50
cialistic." Are outright subsidies
less 'socialistic"?

Equality

This is both an analysis of his
tory and q statement of faith
Some might doubt that it was
the faith of the aristocratic
Frenchman. Yet he, himself, says
that he wrote under the influ-
ence of a kind of religious awe
produced r. by the seemingly

ton" he saw coming in Europe
and which he found established
in the United States.
1t is for us to recognize the fact
of individual differences; to take
it into account rather than to ig-
more it or to act as if it could be
changed. Let us, rather, make an
asset of the differences between
us, for through them our society
achieves great variety and pro-
vides incentive for personal
achievement Having done this,
let us continue the pursuit of
equality, but let it be the pur
suit of an equality that equalizes
what ought to be equal. Let us
take our place in the ongoing
process which De Tocqueville per-
ceived over a hundred years ago,
the process whereby privileges
are steadily taken away from
those who do not deserve them
and impediments are removed
from those who do not deserve
them, in order that a true polit-

1--WE BEEN WORKING ON
THE Observation-Disclosures by
the propaganda put out by the
us. Chamber of Commerce and
the National Assn. of Manufac-
turers all American industry be-
lieves firmly in the private en-
terprise system and is opposed to
government interference. We
are constantly told that federal
school programs, social welfare
legislation and even help for
small farmers is undermining, if
not actually subverting, our
economy.
Big businessmen, however, ap-
parently do not believe this pro-
paganda themselves. Whenever
they have encountered financial
troubles they have gone to the
government and asked to be bail
ed out. This was true in the 30s
when the banks were failing. 1t
is true once again as the Amer
lean railroads find themselves in
more and more trouble because
of competition from the airlines
and trucking industry.
The railroads, many of whom
| got their franchises, rights-of-
way and other privileges from
the government, are once again
clamoring for subsidies and spe-
cial treatment. They point out
! that other segments of American
industry, including those with
far fewer financial troubles, have
received subsidies.
So they, too, want federal
4 handout.
The pleas for help from the top
railway executives would be more
impressive however, if they were
inclined themselves to accep t
salaries more in keeping with the
impoverished circumstances of
which they complain. Yet recent
reports to the Interstate Com
merce Commission disclose that
even on those railroads near
bankruptcy the top executives
are all drawing higher salaries
/ than the President of the United
States.
This is what the reports show:

DhDA III LEW CAIlOl leal, Dio
logue In Warsaw says in part
81 cannot blame anyone who re-
sists the reality of what / have
to say. The human mind is cap
able of prodigious feats of
learning and invention but it
has difficulty in sustaining pain
full ideas. What follows is going
to be painful to read; it was
painful to write.
1.-THE Nuremberg Trials at the
end of the Second World War
dealt with bewildering array
of crimes. These crimes ran all
the way from war guilt to the
planned liquidation of whole
populations. After a while, the
sheer weight and repetition of
the horror produced certain
monotony. The news tended to
trail off. AS result, some of
the evidence never fully register
ed on the public mind in the
outside world.
"The particular evidence that
was responsible for my trip to
Warsaw had to do with medical
experimentation on human be-
ings. Acting on specific authori-
cation from their government,
German doctors during the Sec
ond World War carried out vari-
Gus forms of medical and surgi-
cal tests on concentration camp
victims. Most of the experiments
were dangerous; all were per-
formed without the consent Of
the victims.
In one set of experiments, at
tempts were made to transfer en-
cephalitis from monkey to hui
man beings.
''In another set, legs or should
ers were amputated to see wheth-
er it was possible to transplant
them from one human being to
another.
Some experiments were for
the purpose of devising new
ways for getting rid of political
opponents through what was
made to appear to be natural
death. In these cases, the intend
ed victim was exposed to virul-
ent germs that would produce
fatal diseases within a month or
so.
"Other experiments had to do
with producing highly efficient
forms of quick death. One such
technique that was tried out sue
cessfully on substantial number
of human guinea pigs involved
the injection of gasoline directly
into the veins.
Still other experiments, car
rled out in the name military
necessity, were concerned with
the effects of high-altitude ex-
posture. In these tests, persons
were put in decomposition cham
bers and conditions were simu-
lated to correspond to attitudes
up to $4,000 feet. BY cutting open
the Uranium and the heart of a
test-person subjected to high al
titudes, changes in the blood and
brain could be observed. Be-
tween 100 and 200 victims were
forced to submit themselves to
the high-altitude experiments. :.
Couldn't the German doctors
have refused to engage in these
experiments, standing on their
obligations to their profession?
This, too, had been asked at
the Nuremberg Trails. The re-
cord showed that some 200 Ger
man physicians participated di-
rectly in the experiments, and
that some 800 more were aware
OF what was happening. Yet not
single one was willing to risk
his neck to uphold medical ethics
against the infamy of the state.
DIR. Simon pointed out that
the physicians Hippocratic Oath
never anticipated that the doc
tor might some day be called
upon to use human beings as
guinea pigs against their will.

someone in his family received the mer-
chandiSe without informing him, the store
would be justified in demanding payment.
Now nothing in the world can justify
a means except the end which it is intended
to serve. A means can be right only in
relation to an end, and only by serving
that end. The first question to be asked
about something proposed as way of
achieving any objective whatsoever is
always the same. VIII it work? viii this
means, if employed, accomplish the pur-
pose we have in mind? If not, it is GER
tainly not the right means to use
How About Good Ends?
But the purpose a man has in mind
may be something as plainly wrong as
stealing or murder. With such an end in
view, he may decide that certain things
will help him succeed and others won't.
While he would be right, from the point
of view of mere expediency, in using the
former and not the latter, is he right
morally in taking whatever steps might
serve as means to his end? If not, then he
is not morally justified in employing such
means.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-05-03

This brings us to the heart Of the
matter. Since a bad end is one that we
are not morally justified in seeking, we
are not morally justified in taking any
steps whatsoever toward its accomplish
ment. Hence, no means can be justified
that is, made morally rightly bad end.
But how about good ends? We are
always morally justified in working for
their accomplishment. Are we, then, also
morally justified in using any means which
will work? The answer to that question is
plainly yes; for if the end is really good,
and if the means really serves the end and
does not defeat it in any way, then there
can be nothing wrong with the means 1t
is justified by the end, and we are justified
in using it.
COndOning Violence
People who are shocked by this state
ment, as you yourself may be, overlook one
thing: If an action is morally bad in itself,
it cannot really serve good end. even
though it may on the surface appear to do

HURST, LET US try to understand the
l. sense in which the word "justihes"
is used in the familiar statement that the
end justifies the means. After that, we
can consider the problem you raise about
whether it is all right to employ any means
good or bad-So long as the end in view
is, as you say sufficiently worthy"
When we say that something is justi-
fed, we are simply saying that it is right
Thus, for example, when We say that
college is justified in expelling a student
who falls below a passing mark we are
acknowledging that the college has right
to set certain standards of performance
and to require its students to meet them.
Hence, the college Is right in expelling the
student who doesn't.
Will 1t Work?
Or, to take another example, if man
refuses to pay a bill for merchandise he
did not receive, we would say that he is
justified. He is in the right. But if a
signed receipt can be offered to show that
