PROFESSOR FAVORS
A TEST ON BERLIN
(w)

HAMBURG, Germany, Feb. 9 (Reuters)—A 35-year-old German-born Harvard University political scientist was quoted today as having said he would favor total war as "the last resort if the freedom of Berlin cannot be defended otherwise."

Der Spiegel, a weekly news magazine, published an interview with Prof. Henry A. Kissinger, now a naturalized American, and director of Harvard's International Studies Institute.

Professor Kissinger was quoted as having said he would risk total war by sending an armed convoy to Berlin.

The interview quoted Professor Kissinger as having said Gen. Charles de Gaulle, President of France, would take part in any such total war, but Britain "certainly would not be keen to do it."

Special to The New York Times.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 9—Professor Kissinger said today he wanted to make it clear that "if we could push an armed convoy through "wcld not be in the nature of a military action but rather as a warning to the Russians as to what lengths we were prepared to go to defend Berlin."

### The laurel-strewn path of our travel editor

As this issue was heading to press, word reached us that Richard Joseph, our Travel Editor, had again won for Esquire the TWA Travel Writing Award.

Actually, it would have been bigger news if this last-minute flash had advised us that he hadn't won it. Because this makes, not just as a figure of speech but by actual count, the seventh time that Dick has

either Italians or foreigners who have been helpful in furthering Italian interests abroad or have greatly contributed to the improvement of Italian cultural, artistic and labor activities.

Since tourism has become such an important factor in the astonishing revival of the Italian economy since World War II, it was for the first of the two eligible categories of achievement that the decoration was awarded to Dick Joseph.

The Order of the Star of Italian Solidarity was created in 1948 by the President of the Republic of Italy, and the Star itself is conferred by individual decree of the President, pursuant to a proposal of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Our photograph shows Dick wearing the Star on his lapel, just after having received it from the hands of the Italian Consul General Marcheese Ruggero Race of Villaforesta. While the medal itself may properly be displayed on appropriate occasions with full evening dress, it is normally represented by a tiny rosette in the left lapel of a business suit, in the buttonhole where the rest of us, on festive occasions, wear a boutonniere.

Recognition of this little rosette brings, from Italians everywhere, the prompt and respectful use of the title Commendatore. So now you know what to call Dick, should you ever have occasion to address him formally.

The second of his latest batch of honors, also made a matter of record by the camera at the moment of its receipt, was the presentation to Richard Joseph, on behalf of The American Society of Travel Agents, of an illuminated globe, symbolizing the clarity and comprehensiveness of his travel coverage. The presentation was made at a reception in Dick's honor held on the occasion of the magazine's twenty-

walked off with this coveted industry-wide award.

That Esquire has the most-often-awarded editor in the travel business has long since ceased to be news, but even by his standards they have been bunching up of late. By now Dick Joseph must be about as surprised by an award for Esquire's travel coverage as Casey Stengel is when the Yankees win another pennant. But when the awards come along at a rate of two a month, as they did for Dick during the last quarter of 1958, their effect is almost numbing, however much one may be insured to the sweet smell of success.

Actually, the last four honors were accorded in a period of just under two months, between the end of September and the latter part of November. The first was the conferring upon Richard Joseph, by the Italian Consul General in New York, of the Order of the Star of Italian Solidarity, which is one of the only two Orders that have been created by the Italian Republic.

The Order, which carries a medal, may be conferred on

## NATIONAL SURVIVAL AND BRAINPOWER

The challenges facing the United States are ones which apparently cannot be solved by armies alone. In a time when brain power measures the rise and fall of a nation, the lasting strength of a people is its capacity to think, to plan for the future. In the average-sized American city of Cambridge, Massachusetts, the thinking that is taking place now may well determine the survival of the United States.

Meeting national emergencies by providing the nation's best intellectual resources is a traditional role for Cambridge; beginning in 1636, Cambridge has dominated the field of intellectual activity in America. There is no place in the U.S. that can offer the concentrated intellectual resources of the three-mile stretch of the Charles River in Cambridge, along which are found Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Radcliffe College. This conglomeration of libraries, research centers, laboratories, and masterminds has been called "The University of Cambridge," by Dr. James Killian, president of M.I.T., now on leave, in the Cantabrigian's customary role of meeting national emergencies, as Eisenhower's Special Assistant for Science and Technology.

Like Killian, other Cambridge intellectuals are busy serving their country, often on a part-time basis, flying down to Washington on a regular daily shuttle run: Henry Kissinger to appraise weapons and strategy at the Pentagon; Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. and John K. Galbraith, to engage in Democratic Party policy decisions; Samuel Eliot Morison to talk with the Navy; Dr. Charles Stark Draper to advise on inertial-guidance devices for missiles and North Pole submarine navigation; Robert Frost to serve in the Library of Congress, etc. It is for them to examine and see errors in government, policies, decisions, and forecasts. These men are respected for their brilliance of mind, for seeing what is true and what is not. As Galbraith says: "If you want exact knowledge of current affairs, then you go to Washington. And certainly there is no place like New York for setting trends in theatre, the arts, and recherche fads. But the virtue of Cambridge is that here you find the long view. The ripples of the present-day headline are screened down to their proper dimension."

With this in mind, Esquire has asked some of the great minds in America's intellectual center to tell what worries them most about America—to help chart the course of national survival.

DEAN BRELIS

"The homogenization of American life. More and more people find fulfillment in togetherness, in adjustment. This is something evolving under liberal and conservative governments. I am somewhat cheered, my view becomes less worried, when I see a book like The Organization Man on the best-seller lists for months. That means a few of us are worrying about it. Of course, this homogenization reflects itself in our domestic and foreign policies."

ARTHUR M. SCHLESINGER, JR.,
PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING HISTORIAN

"Our complacency is the obvious answer. I'm old enough to know that we've gone through it before and come through it. My deeper worry today is over the lack of leadership in our country and the lack of direction."

ARTHUR M. SCHLESINGER, SR.,
PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING HISTORIAN

"The need for continuing the great tradition of scholarship in the history of philosophy...."

"For me the first step in the study of any philosopher, one upon which any form of subjective interpretation must rest, is to determine by the method of historical criticism what the philosopher meant by what he said, how he came to say what he said, and why he said it in the manner in which he happened to say it. The method of tracing the succession of philosophical systems is always an adventure, the adventure of prying into the hidden recesses of the mind of another. There is sleuthing in scholarship as there is in crime, and it is as full of mystery, danger, intrigue, suspense, and thrills—if only the story were told. To assure its continuity there is need of organized planning in this branch of learning the like of which already exists in industry, in business, and in the social and natural sciences."

"The extraordinary passivity of our attitudes. Our rejection of the tragic aspect of life. We assume you can get what you want by wanting it badly enough. We tend to turn all our problems into administrative ones. We seem to be willing to do anything so long as it engages us only between the hours of nine and five. I don't believe you can substitute good intentions for profound thought or for the anguish which is inseparable from the creative. We cannot be spectators to our own fate. In a time of such enormous changes in all areas of our national life, we cannot look to the past for the answers. We must risk ourselves in finding new answers or we will disintegrate psychologically and morally."

HENRY A. KISSINGER, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF THE HARVARD CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

"The tendency to over-invest in things and under-invest in people. This is a serious dis-proportion which we are far from correcting. It is epitomized by our magnificent steel plants and our seedy schools, parks, playgrounds, and hospitals."

JOHN K. GALBRAITH, ECONOMIST

"Worried? We've got to stop worrying and get real busy and work. If we sit around and worry, we're not going to get anything done. We're in trouble. If we sit around worrying about those guys and don't get down to the job, then we'll be in worse trouble. Let's get to the jobs that have got to be done. Then we'll be all right."

CHARLES STARK DRAPER, DIRECTOR, INSTRUMENTATION LABORATORY, MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

"The fact that we've been so successful, that our moral fiber has tended to become weakened, tenderized, by this success. I am worried by our public schools. They have deteriorated. Progressive education has been carried to absurd extremes. It has resulted in an inferior kind of education. This shows in the ways our kids don't get disciplined minds and this, of course, means that they will have a less productive life. I am worried that our kids don't know how to study, that they lack the influences which make young students enthusiastic about their work."

G. R. HARRISON, DEAN, MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, SCHOOL OF SCIENCE

"What sickens me most is Madison Avenue teaching us from Washington with their carefully worded promises, full of hollow radiance. That is fine for a new toothpaste, but doesn't make any sense, and has very little chance of making any honest impression on planet-shaking affairs. It's a dangerous thing today, and it worries me that there should be so little indignation. No one is indignant over scandals in government. That's something when there is no indignation at being swindled. There's no virility left."

AL CAPP, CARTOONIST

"There is no linguistic education which is worth-while. Our students don't get out of education what they should. The main difficulty seems to be the immense waste of time before our students get to the real studies. They spend four years in the high school, sitting, four more years in the college, sitting. Then at twenty-two they get down to serious university (or graduate) studies. We should reach our better students in a much shorter time than we do now. It's really prejudice against the best young minds in America. This is education which has a long horizontal line, and doesn't go into the vertical depths."

"The organization man under which the human value is too easily lost. We have lost the aesthetic side of life which is a basic requirement of life. There are no established values. Everything is too chaotic. For instance, people are afraid of prefabrication. They wouldn't be if the component parts, machine made though they are, were used in different ways. There is sufficient variety in the elements of prefabricated houses to make it possible for an architect to make each house aesthetically different from its neighbor. Think of the Japanese kimono. It's one cut of garment yet there is the greatest variety and beauty in the ways it is worn."

WALTER GROPIUS, ARCHITECT

"What really worries me is this strange flaw, this fracture at the center of our civilization, which takes fact and feeling apart. Only a nation which had not searched itself could fail to react to the dreadful danger of our weapons... Millions of people are calmly talking about a war which can be so obscenely horrible. We think and talk. We don't put together what we know and feel. People like myself who teach have a responsibility in this direction...So do others, the press, what we call mass communications."

ARCHIBALD MACLEISH, POET,

"A certain lack of confidence. I'm not so worried about the academic disciplines. It seems that the country is going along for a ride. All they're told to do is to be consumers, happy suburbanites. We have enormous resources and capacities, and we're acting as if we didn't. Public transportation is going to hell. Our natural resources are frittering away. By using our minds and our resources, we could solve our problems—just as we could solve the problem of the terrific reservoir of good brains going to waste. It worries me that these good young brains are not getting educated."

"My chief worry for the future of the United States is that the intellectual component in our national life may fail to achieve high quality because of limited understanding and too little concern. Many institutions and incredible numbers of individuals are involved in the task of advancing intellectual excellence, chief among them institutions of higher education. Unhappily, a very large segment of these men and women carry on their essential task with too little appreciation and support. Yet, upon the teaching and the achievements of these people rests to a large extent a full realization of the creative capacities of that new generation who will one day be responsible for America and her place in the world. How long will it take us to realize what an immense effort in education we must make today for the America of tomorrow?"

"The state of secondary-school education in America. I think it is deplorable the lack of nonacademic subjects to be found in the nation's secondary schools. And I am very concerned that 85 per cent of public-school graduates are without a knowledge of another modern language. Education in the United States is due for an overhaul from top to bottom; and it had best begin at the top. Only by a restoration of discipline and raising of standards can the faculties of our universities deserve the freedom and respect to which scholars are entitled."

## EXPERTS LOOK AT EDUCATION TODAY

### 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF PEACE PLAN

**"A LIVING THING IS BORN"**

Raymond B. Fosdick

Raymond B. Fosdick

This year, 1959, marks the fortieth anniversary of the first serious attempt to establish a definitized system of international relationships. "A living thing is born" — these were the words with which Woodrow Wilson introduced to the Paris Peace Conference in February, 1919, the preliminary draft of the Covenant of the League of Nations. And indeed it was a living thing —

not the organization itself, as Wilson thought, for its life was brief and its end was darkened with failure. What linked it to an enduring future was that it embodied in constitutional form the long hopes of mankind for peace and a rationally organized world.

In the march of history it was a forward thrust of unprecedented scope and velocity, involving marked changes in international relations — changes of approach, changes of technique, and above all, changes in public attitudes and convictions.

On the foundations of the League another organization has since been built, and still other structures may succeed the present one; but the pattern of world-wide unity through constitutional forms which Wilson traced in his speech at the Quai d'Orsay that cold February afternoon, forty years ago, has become firmly woven into the thinking of mankind.

The time has passed when any one nation can live unto itself. It cannot even die unto itself, for the whole world would then be chained to a body of death from which mortal infection would flow to the rest. Nations today are roped like Alpine climbers crossing a glacier: they survive or perish together.

*(Continued on page 2)*

### 8 ARTICLES IN PROCESS

Eight prominent leaders have accepted commissions by the Woodrow Wilson Foundation to write individual papers providing "a fresh insight and a new look" at the aims and values of contemporary American education.

Dr. Pendleton Herring, Chairman of the Foundation's Committee on "Education in the Nation's Service", has announced that three essays have already been submitted and are being readied for public distribution. These are:

"An Atmosphere to Breathe" by McGeorge Bundy, Dean at Harvard University; "Essential Tasks" by Robert F. Goheen, President of Princeton University; and "Mr. Wilson and the Nation's Need" by Archibald MacLeish of Harvard.

Other statements are expected soon from Jacques Barzun, Dean of the Faculties of Columbia University; Sir Isaiah Berlin of Oxford University; Harry D. Gideonse, President of Brooklyn College; William L. Miller of the Yale Divinity School; and Logan Wilson, President of the University of Texas. In addition to these, Dr. Herring reports that three more papers have been solicited.

### Training Minds for Wise Decisions

All writers were asked to consider the following question: "What might be done in American education to insure that ten or twenty years from now the young men and women educated in the United States will have obtained the basis for living fuller and more productive lives, with their minds so trained that the decisions they will have to make will be wise decisions?"

As an additional service to the public and basic to its own new program, the Foundation has published a short collection of the late president's writings, entitled: "Woodrow Wilson on Education". A forty-one page pamphlet, it is being made available, free of charge, to educational groups. The selections were chosen by August Heckscher, and the pamphlet is a reprint from his recently published book, "The Politics of Woodrow Wilson". In his introduction, Mr. Heckscher recalls that Wilson believed that "the

*(Continued on page 3)*

## THE POWER OF MORAL FORCE

Woodrow Wilson, who was recognized for the depth of his religious convictions, left us with an affirmation of his faith in the power of moral force in the following address. Speaking at his grandfather's church in Carlisle, England, on December 29, 1918, at the beginning of his European trip to attend the Peace Conference, Wilson said in part:

> "What the world is now seeking to do is to return to the paths of duty, to turn away from the savagery of interest to the dignity of the performance of right. And I believe that as this war has drawn the nations temporarily together in a combination of physical force we shall now be drawn together in a combination of moral force that will be irresistible.

> "It is moral force that is irresistible. It is moral force as much as physical force that has defeated the effort to subdue the world. Words have cut as deep as the sword. The knowledge that wrong was being attempted has aroused the nations. They have gone out like men upon a crusade. No other cause could have drawn so many nations together. They knew that an outlaw was abroad who purposed unspeakable things. It is from quiet places like this all over the world that the forces accumulate which presently will overbear any attempt to accomplish evil on a large scale. Like the rivulets gathering into the river and the river into the seas, there come from communities like this streams that fertilize the conscience of men, and it is the conscience of the world that we are trying to place upon the throne which others would usurp".

*(Continued from page 1)*

This was the burden of Wilson's flaming message. It was in the days before radios or modern methods of mass communication, let alone voices from satellites circling the earth. But Wilson's voice is with us still, with its imperishable affirmation; and the hope of the world, dim at the moment as it may seem, lies in the vision which he spelled out for our generation.

The Woodrow Wilson Foundation is a non-membership, non-profit, educational organization incorporated under the laws of the State of New York and governed by a Board of twentyfive Directors. Established in 1922 by contributions from over 200,000 Americans, the Foundation is a permanent memorial to Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, 1912-1920, in recognition of his service to the country and to all mankind. The purpose of the Foundation is to further public understanding of major problems confronting the United States in terms of Wilson's concepts for a democracy and for world cooperation.

## IN MEMORIAM WOODROW WILSON

Died February 3, 1924

> "He was the personification of the heritage of idealism of the American people."

> — HERBERT HOOVER, 1958

> "For us today Wilson must stand not alone as the fighter for a new ideal in international relationships. He must stand for the nobility of his vision of America — a nation vibrant in freedom, austere in integrity, limitless in opportunity, earning and vindicating its hopes and ideals for the benefit of all mankind."

> ARTHUR SCHLESINGER, JR., 1956

## MRS. WILSON GREETS NEW SCHOOL

A special greeting from Mrs. Woodrow Wilson accompanied a gift of books from the Foundation last fall to a new elementary school in Medford, Oregon, named the Woodrow Wilson Elementary School. Fifty-three American schools are known to bear the name of the 28th President.

## VIRGINIA IN PARIS CEREMONY

A bronze plaque honoring Woodrow Wilson, a gift from the State of Virginia, was placed on the facade of the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, at the end of Avenue Presidente Wilson, on October 3, 1958. George M. Cochran, a member of the Virginia House of Delegates and Chairman of the Woodrow Wilson Centennial Commission of Virginia, presented the tablet in a ceremony which was the Commission's last act in commemorating the Wilson Centennial Anniversary. American and French government officials, representatives from Virginia and from the Woodrow Wilson Birthplace Foundation Inc., and tourists took part in this "Staunton day in Paris". Bearing a likeness of Wilson and official seals, the tablet names Wilson as "Friend of France", "Defender of Liberty", and "Apostle of Peace".

## NATION VIEWS WILSON
FILMS ON TELEVISION

On the recent 102nd anniversary of Woodrow Wilson's birth, Sunday, December 28, the American people were given the opportunity, by means of a special television film, to witness the President's heart-breaking struggle for the League of Nations and his dedicated fight for a "just peace" and a cooperative union of world states.

The occasion was the presentation over the CBS Television Network of "Woodrow Wilson: The Fight for Peace", a film prepared as part of the network's "Twentieth Century" series sponsored by the Prudential Insurance Company of America. A documentary of actual newsreels, the film showed Mr. Wilson's unprecedented trips abroad, his battle with opposition Senate leaders, and his dramatic cross-country tour to bring his appeal direct to the people, and his subsequent defeat and collapse. It was narrated by Walter Cronkite and produced by Burton Benjamin. Telecast in nearly two hundred cities, the film is being made available for classroom use.

### Foundation Film

The Woodrow Wilson Foundation's film, "Woodrow Wilson: Spokesman for Tomorrow" continues to receive nationwide attention with over 350 television showings during the last fifteen months in nearly 200 cities and towns to an estimated audience of close to 17 million. Sales are brisk, two-and-a-half years since the film was released, and prints are being circulated across the country by schools, libraries, educational groups and others.

## TEACHER FELLOWSHIPS

Dr. Hugh Taylor, President of the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, has announced the removal of headquarters from Ann Arbor, Mich. and the establishment of a new office at 32 Nassau Street, Princeton, N. J. Dr. Hans Rosenhaupt, formerly of Columbia University, has been appointed National Director.

aim of education was to fit men for life in the larger and more various community of the nation".

### Wilson's Philosophy

Defining his philosophy in part, Wilson said: "The chief glory of a university is the leadership of the nation in the things that attach to the highest ambitions that nations can set themselves. Education, in a country like ours, is a branch of statesmanship."

"The ideal at the heart of the American University is intellectual training, the awakening of the whole man, the thorough introduction of the student to the life of America and of the modern world, the completion of the tasks undertaken by the grammar and high schools of equipping him for the full duties of citizenship".

### "COVERING THE UN"

The Foundation's Board of Directors recently gave a small grant to Women United for the United Nations in support of their weekly publication, *Covering the UN*. Containing newsbriefs about little-known humanitarian activities of the United Nations, *Covering the UN* is designed to inform Americans more fully about the work of international organizations. It is circulated through the National Editorial Association to local newspapers across the country.

## WASHINGTON OFFICE FOR
PAPERS AND LETTERS
PROJECT

Dr. John Wells Davidson, Associate Editor of the Woodrow Wilson Papers and Letters Project, has established an office in the Library of Congress in Washington, where initial steps are being taken in the work of editing the Papers. Wilson documents in the Library are being examined, filed, microfilmed and photoduplicated, and consultations have been held with authorities at Princeton University.

Mrs. Helga Sandburg Golby, daughter of Carl Sandburg, and an author herself, is the Administrative Assistant. Mrs. Golby brings wide experience with manuscripts, as well as her literary background, to this important task.

## KISSINGER-TUGWELL

The Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award for 1958 was given jointly to Henry A. Kissinger for his book, "Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy", and to Rexford B. Tugwell, author of "The Democratic Roosevelt". The cash awards of $500 each were presented by August Heckscher, President of the Foundation, at the annual meeting of the American Political Science Association. Established in 1948, the Award is given "to encourage significant research and reflection in the field of politics, government and international relations".

## WHAT IS A COLLEGE FOR?

Some fifty years ago *Scribner's Magazine* published an article which aroused national attention. It was entitled "What Is A College For?" and the author was Woodrow Wilson. This same article has been selected as the basic working paper for a two-day conference to be held this April in Oxford, Ohio, as part of the 150th anniversary of Miami University. Delegates to the conference, which is being held in cooperation with the Humanities Center of the University of Massachusetts, will be asked to answer this question: What is a college for? as they examine the needs of the modern college against the background of President Wilson's concepts.

DIRECTORS IN THE NEWS

Of interest to friends of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation are the varied activities of some of the twenty-seven Directors who are elected to govern the organization. Harold W. Dodds, former President of Princeton University, is directing a study of the college and university presidency, under the auspices of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching; the autobiography of Raymond B. Fosdick, former President of the Rockefeller Foundation, has just been published by Harpers under the title of "A Chronicle of a Generation"; Senator J. W. Fulbright is Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee which has been appointed to direct the full Committee's examination of U.S. foreign policy; "The Coming of the New Deal" is the second volume on the Age of Roosevelt by Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., Harvard professor of history; Miss Anna Lord Strauss, civic leader, spent a month in Africa, with women leaders in the fields of education and social welfare; and Mrs. Quincy Wright, has returned from a year in India, where her husband was guest lecturer at the University of New Delhi.

NEW COURSES FOR
TEACHERS

As in previous years, the Foundation will sponsor an In-Service Credit Course on the United Nations this spring for public school teachers in metropolitan New York. "Peoples, Their Governments and the United Nations" is a fifteen-week series of lectures by officials from various governments. It will open in February with an overall analysis of the UN by a leading authority in international affairs and will close in early June with tours of the UN and of the World Affairs Center for the United States.
