,Sukorno's New Task

Quiet diplomacy seems to have
scored a major success in the dispute
between IndoneSia and the Netherlands
over the future Of West New Guinea.
At any rate, under the aegiS of the
United Nations, our Government-act-
ing through Ellsworth Bunker, who has
played many good diplomatic role for
our country-has persuaded the con-
tending parties to settle their differ
ences on the basis of an agreement
expected to be signed as formal treaty
later this month.
The agreement includes the follow
ing key provisions: Q) The United
Nations would supervise the territory
until next May l. (2) On that date the
Indonesians would assume control of
the situation. And (3) the Papuan
population - approximately 100000
would be guaranteed the right, through
the medium of plebiScite to be staged
some years from now, under U. N. su-
perviSion, to determine for themselves
whether they want to be annexed by
Indonesia or become an indepedent ma
tion on their own.
AS regards all this, it may be well
to recall that the Dutch made the fol-
lowing observations in special study
some years ago: West New Guinea is
"a hot and humid land" whose people
partly pygmies"-are in a class by
themselves, in an environment harsh
and unfriendly to man." To quote
further: Neither from a racial nor
from cultural point of view is there
any connection between these primitive
people-who are among the most primi-
tive left on this earth-and the highly
cultured IndoneSian clinical groups"
1t is against this background that
one must weigh the SoundneSs of the
settlement that has been worked out
by the Dutch and the IndoneSianS
through the combined mediating efforts
of our own country and the U. N. OBJ
viously enough, or so it seems to us,
there is more than a little reason to
take a skeptical view of the "compro-
mise" that has been agreed upon-a
formula that appears in some respects
to amount to a surrender of West New

channels and graduationS OF
opportunity" In context, this
seems to mean that we have
decided that IA to 16 years
Of education are desirable for
everyone but that there shall
be some sort of hierarchy
among the institutions offer
ing the last part of this long
course. Professor Nevins never
says this in so many words,
but it seems the most logical
inference that one can draw
from a passage like this:
THE fundamental ques-
tion remains: how shall State
universities and land-grant
schools reconcile with democ-
racy a more rigid Sieving out
of the majority of high school
Students?" For the implica-
tion is opportunity for STU
dents with the intellectual
and character qualifications
to attend college without re-
gard for social and economic
position will not suffice.
PROFESSOR NEVINS
continues: President Henry
of Illinois states in his report
for 1958-59: 'Denials totaled
about $500 this year, as op-
posed to about 1,700 in 1857
8 > Bravo!-but where
shall the $500 go? Where
shall the 1000 who were
dropped from Ohio State in
a single year go?"
: Not to work, apparently.
For despite an earlier disa-
vowal, there lies underneath
these not entirely rhetorical
questions an incredibly ar
rogant assumption: No one
can be an enlightened citi-
zen without the benefits of
a higher education nor are
there occupations worthy of
the name for which one can
prepare outside the class
room. Professor Nevins avoids
a direct statement to this
effect, but what other con-
cluSion can one draw?
Though the colleges and
universities are to expand
rapidly and more are to be
created, and C high school
students are to be guaran-
teed access to two year COM
munity colleges at the least,
the institutions themselves
are to be first class. Profess
sor Nevins tells us that the
New York master plan, "calls
Tor a rapid expansion of the
State university system, with
graduate programs not only
at existing centers of the
system, such as Syracuse and
Buffalo, but in two new pub
lie universities, the equals of
Cornell. one on Long Island
and one upstate" We are not
told how long it will take to
create the equals of Cor
NELL" but presumably it will
be rather less than the 81
years that that university
needed to reach it's present
stature.
However curious Professor
Nevins' prescription for the
future may seem, his descrip-
ton of the past is most in
teresting despite a tendency
to ascribe everything good to
the two Morrill, Acts.

Task for Horsky

A. Horsky as special assistant
to President Kennedy for Dis
trict affairs should be re-
garded hopefully by all who
have been concerned about
the uncoordinated planning
and activity that have engen-
dered waste, confusion and
conflict in the administration
Of the affairs Of our Capital
city
We trust Mr.. Horsky's in
fluence will be a strong one
and that his experience and
knowledge in civic matters
will be deferred to by the hier-
archy Of District government
functionaries and Congress.
We trust especially he will
give his early attention to the
highway program proposed
by Brig. Gen. F. j. Clarke,
District Engineering Commits
sioner, which is now being
discussed by the Senate Com
mittee on District Appropria-
tions.
Gen. Clarke and his lieu
tenants in the Highway De-
partment are attempting to
push through Congress a
highway program for the
Metropolitan Area that is
based in large part on the
outdated highway plan of
1859 which outlines such an
ENHANCEMENT of highways
and interchanges that even
a spider would be confused.
In 1860 Congress established
the National Capital Trans
portation Agency to work out
a coordinated mass transit
highway plan for the National
Capital Area end to present
the plan to the President not
later than November /, 1862.
In the interim that agency
has opposed or refused to en-
dorse number of pet High
way Department projects,
among them the Three Sis
terS Bridge.
Citizens may well question
Gen. Clarke's request for a
1868 budget appropriation of
100000 to begin construc-
ton Of Three Sisters Bridge
when the $4,000 appropria-
ted for Fiscal Year 1862 for
blueprints and design of this
project has not yet been
touched. All Of us may ques-
tion this haste to have Con-
gress commit itself to the
Three Sisters Bridge complex
on the eve Of the unveiling
of the Meta study. Even the
most gentle of us might sus-
pect that rich and powerful
interests, such as trucking,
automobile, tire and real es-
tate, are in the picture.
Mr.. Horsky will not have
an easy time. He will be sub
jected to many pressures. He
will have to weigh the voice
Of the people against the
skilled professional lobbies
of commercial interests. Let
us hope he listens hardest
to those who believe that to
bring more automobiles into
Washington where parking
facilities are already totally
inadequate is foolhardy, that
to increase the automobile
air pollution when its level is
already a concern to health
officers would be calious,
that the needless desecra-
tion of the Potomac and its
palisades would be a waste of
public ! ands and public
money and a crime against
the generations to come.

THE STATE UNIVERSITIES
NJ m N II NJ nnn nN u.

n ~ - - = M OCnACI. by
Allan Nevins. I'll PIP. (Uni-
versity of Illinois Press;
$2.95O
Most large universities
have arrangements under
which famous figures come
to the campus for a half
dozen or so lectures to the
community at large. These
lectures are generally printed.
and in the end, a surprisingly
large number Of them turn
out to be minor or even ma
jor classics in their fields.
THE State Universities and
Democracy" consists Of a
number Of lectures delivered
at the University of Illinois
by the distinguished histo-
rian Allan Nevins Ito mark
the centennial of the Morrill,
Act" the law that permitted
institutions Of higher learn
ing to use receipts from the
sale Of public lands as en-
dowment funds.
Prof. Nevins' lectures do
not seem destined to become
classic. Their style can per-
haps be described as "acad-
demic inspirational," and it
is not always pleasant. And
the talks are marred by a
number of basic confuSions.
One such is inherent in the
subject matter as Prof. Nevins
chose to define it. He spoke
about State universities with
more or less specific refer
ence to their relation to the
Morrill, Act. But the act it
self did not restrict its bene-
fits to public institutions.
Conversely, not all public in
stitutions received Morrill,
Act funds.
so WE FIND ourselves
confounding the University
of Virginia, which Is public
and both pre- and non-land
grant, with Cornell, which is
land grant, founded after the
act and simultaneously both
public and private, with
Michigan, which was founded
before the passage of the act,
endowed with its funds and
wholly public, with Rutgers,
which is now public but was
wholly private when it re-
ceived land grant funds
but this could go on and
on. Yet these are not dis
tinctions without differences.
and no service is done by
ignoring them.
A second and far more
serious confusion is caused by
that wonderful and terrible
word, democracy" What is
democracy" in education?
Professor Nevins mentions
the principle that the ris-
ing generation in America
should have free opportunity,
including free access to all
major occupations on a pro-
fessional level, and thus be
able to maintain an open and
mobile society,""
A moment later, he refers
to the need for giving all an
opportunity, but fixing proper

President Kennedy will
have no easy job in finding
an ambassador who will serve
him better in Paris than
James M. Gavin. Whatever
differences may have existed
between Gen. Gavin and
policy makers in Washington
they did not compromise his
effectiveness. After a rather
slow start he has won many
admirers here as an intelli-
gent and conscientious am
bassador whose Judgment
about France has been un-
commonly shrewd.
There also is considerable
sympathy for his successor.
whoever he may be. The
problems that have grown up
between France and the
United States over the last 18
months have nothing to do
with personalities. And de-
spite the optimistic tone Of
Gen. Gavin's letter Of resig-
nation, things are likely to
get worse before they get
better.
To an observer in Europe,
1t seems as though these
problems have been caused
at least in part by a change
of attitude by the admins
tration, itself. After starting
off on a note of profuse af-
liability toward Gen. Charles
de Gaulle the tone of most
administration leaders has
become progressively colder,
at times almost reaching the
point of open hostility. And
since this tone has been
heartily reciprocated by the
French it is not entirely
surprising that Ambassador
Gavin's job here has not been
an easy one.
Nor is it simply a matter of
diplomatic cordiality. With
all due respect. it is not easy
to accept Mr.. Kennedy's judg-
ment that the differences be-
tween France and the United
States are really "at the mar
gin of the international
scene" while agreement at the
center remains firm. Indeed
in many important areas the
differences are great enough
to strain the most settled
alliance.
