and the State has been

some high official arbitrarily
thinks this might possibly
occur.
The statutes cited by the
administration for the send
ing of troops to Mississippi
were passed in 1861 and 1871,
when a state OF organized
rebellion by armed forces
had occurred. These statutes
refer to opposition or OBJ

United States" But no laws
have ever been passed by
Congress requiring "integra-

university may not be the

A Federal court order writ
ten in the broadcast language
was issued last year when
Mr.. Meredith was admitted.
but since then there has been
no court order covering the
ensuing situation. Yet many
Federal troops remain on
duty at oxford, Miss, just
the same, and millions of
dollars Of taxpayers money
have been and are being
spent without their consent
in this questionable adven-
ture in presidential politics.
The same point of criticism
was made in these dispatches
in 1857 in connection with
the improper use of Federal
troops in Little Rock, Ark.
Any American critic of the
Communist autocracy will,
therefore. find himself hard
put today to argue that in
the United States no Off

eminent possess IS arbitrary
power, but is subject to a
written Constitution and ex-
plicit orders Of the courts.

In 1885, when John May
nard Keynes was preparing
to write his book The Cen
eral Theory of Employment,
Interest and Money" he
said in a note to George
Bernard Shaw, II believe
myself to be writing a book
on economic theory which
will largely revolutionize -

in the course of the next
10 yearsAthe way the world

He revolutioniZed economic
theory, all right, Or at least
those who claim to be follow
ing his theories have. He
is held up as an advocate of

widest government eXtrav-

love to curry votes by spend

in favor of that at all. He

Keynes was already famed
as the greatest economist in

Senator Mansfield professed
in an interview to be satisfied
with the progress being made

bring major proposals of Presi-

floor for showdown votes.
THE record of this Congress

Keynes Unonticipoted Revolution

OF collectivism, How can I
accept" he asked, "the
Communist doctrine which
sets up as its bible, above
and beyond criticism, an
obsolete textbook which I
know not only to be scien-
tifically erroneous, but with
out interest or application to
the modern world?"
Keynes thesis was simple,
In paralysis, government
primes the pump with ex-
penditures that exceed in
come. In recovery govern
ment restores its credit by
reducing public debt.
Alas for Keynes He un-
dereStimated the moral
weakness both Of govern
ments and citizens, Once
given the rationale for pub
lie debt, everybody loved the
spending, Wants became
needs In good times as
we'll as bad the debt rose. No
political party dared make a
serious effort to reduce It.
Congress simply kept raising
the debt limit.
And now, with business
faltering under heavy cor
porate and private taxes, the
proposal is made to cut the
taxes but to keep the spend
ing at one hundred billion
dollars.
Poor Keynes. He recon-
mended that we have q

DAVID LAWRENCE

Americans are quick to
criticize Russia as a police
state" but in certain respects
the United States is today OPP
Grating as a police state"
Armed forces of the Fed
eral Government are not sup
posed to be used internally
except in case of "insurrec-
ton" Under the Constitution,
the preservation of law and
order Is a State function. If
the Federal Government can
at any time use troops, with
the excuse that order doesn't
prevail locally, and If there is
no way to review in the
courts whether the Federal
Government is acting arbi-
trarily or justly. then the
people Of the United States
are in a dilemma analogous
to that which confronts the
people Of a totalitarian state.
These observations are &C.
casioned by a news dispatch
the other day when the hith-
erto secret testimony OF Rob-
ert Mcnamara, Secretary of
Defense. was released by a.
House subcommittee on APP
preparations. He was testi-
flying about the continued
presence of Federal troops ct
the University of Mississippi
six months after the Federal
court order has been obeyed
by the university. He said:
I'VE are very anxious to
withdraw the troops and,
given any reason to believe
that the local authorities
would maintain order, we
would certainly withdraw
them Immediately"
When asked whether the
assurance must be satisfac-
tory to him or to Attorney
General Robert F. Kennedy,
the Defense Secretary replied,
Satisfactory to me-"
Now Mr.. Mcnamara is
said to be a conscientious
public servant, but long after
he retires from public life his
conscience may bother him
for having made the fore
going statements. Even If the
State of Mississippi now were
to seek an injunction in the
Federal courts to end the
improper use of Federal
troops. this would hardly pro-

Troops in Mississippi Seen Presenting
Dilemma Like That of TotoIitorionism

vide practical form of re-
lief. For some ingenious way
has to be devised to set up
the question for a ruling by
the courts. The American
people, in the meantime, are
supposed to rely on the con-
science of men in public
office to adhere to the Con-
Stitution.
Even assuming that the ad-
mission OF James Meredith,
Negro student, to the Univer-
Sity of Mississippi was NOR
ally justified. despite the
univerSity'S ruling that he
had not fulfilled the require
ments for admission. the
question arises as to whether
a proper objective in free
America should ever be
sought by unconstitutional
means.
The original court order
directed that Mr.. Meredith
be admitted and that neither
the university nor anybody
else should interfere with his
admission to continued at
tendance" There is no such
interference today, and there
hasn't been for months. Has
the Federal Government a
right to maintain Federal
troops indefinitely on the
scene just because it thinks
a threat to his Continued
attendance" could some day
arise? Who is to pass judg-
ment on the imaginary
threat?
Flimsy pretexts are being
used to keep a Federal army
on duty in Mississippi. Ex-
pediency is the rationalized
doctrine Of many a dictator
ship. Nikita Khrushchev
can order the arrest and
Imprisonment Of anyone he
pleases. Americans have
prided themselves that this
couldn't happen in free
America. But several proc
lamationS and executive
orders have been issued
which claim the right to
ignore the State and local
governments, on which the
Constitution imposes the OBJ
legation to preserve order
The Federal Government
can, under the Constitution,
intervene only when it is
clear that an instruction
