THE COLLEGE NEWS essnaiies + ~~ { Page Five Seded Students Should Act On Teacher’s Oath Continued from Page One well drawn up as any, and has a pro- viso, added subsequent to the public hearing, which stated that the oath was not to interfere with free speech or public discussion. The law makes the institution, not the individual, re- sponsible for any failure to sign, and the State’s Attorney of Massachusetts will enforce it by refusing state aid to those public institutions reporting teachers who have not signed and by annulling the charters of similar private institutions. Professor Ma- ther of Harvard refused to take the oath on the grounds that it implies a curtailing of free speech, and is, therefore, unconstitutional. Dr. Cad- bury, however, felt that an unre- served signature was impossible, and was ready to resign if the state did not aceede to the request of ‘himself and other Friends that their signa- tures and reservations be filed to- gether as one document. The state decided to allow the reservations to be directly attached to their signa- tures. Protests against such legisla- tion. are not enough; people must go to the polls, as they did for women’s suffrage, and vote against the men who pass these laws, If such a law were passed in Eu- rope, where education is often con- sciously turned into propaganda, it would catch everyone one way or the other; either a man would obey or he would leave. The law has not yet this effect here. It is not so much an at- tempt to see how a-man stands as it is to find grounds for calling institu- tions radical, to be able to threaten suppression. These laws should be opposed because they are uncontitu- tional and therefore conducive to the overthrow of the government they are meant to maintain; they are insulting since they apply only to teachers and not to other equally important inflp- ences on the young, such as the radio, parents and church; they are sense- less, since if people are going to work against the government, no mere oath will stop them; and, in Miss Park’s opinion, they are hypocritical: people take the oath and make secret quali- fications to themselves. It puts the country’s welfare in a poor and dan- gerous situation when men must make secret mental reservations to the most binding form there is, their written word. Labor Needs Political Party, States Continued from Page One Burge tention to the larger and more -press- ing needs felt by each individual work- er. John Lewis is struggling to con- vert the American Federation of Labor from craft to industrial union- ism,: but he does not seem to realizé that a party is a corollary of his pur- pose—a greater number of workers in a smaller number of divisions pull- ing together to promote their whole class. Even industrialized; unions can- not gain any concessions from employ- | ers unless they have some influence i in| government also. Again and again /| this fact has been proven in textile | less discussion and to be a handle for | and steel strikes, when the workers were forced to submit because they could not counteract the political monopoly of their opponents. Wheth- er steel is organized on a traft or an industrial basis does not matter so long as the organizations cannot hold legal meetings in steel towns, so long as they must come together in terror as they do now in Pennsylvania .min- ing districts. Newspapers a few years ago were full of notices about outrages com- mitted on Communists, on Reds, or on somé member of a minority political or religious group. Today’ men be- longing to conservative majority parties like the Democrats or Repub- licans are being subjected to violence and abuse because they presume to further the interests of the American Federation of Labor. Only recently such a man was tarred and feathered in Tampa, Florida—a large, supposed- ly well-governed, civilized city. Be- yond the Rockies few Union meetings are held openly, for there is a covert, but nevertheless overpowering, Reign of Terror exercised against them there. Just as Hitler and Mussolini Phone, Bryn Mawr 829 MOSSEAU OPTICIANS 610 LANCASTER AVE. BRYN MAWR, PA. issued propaganda against the Reds, i but reg Wistruck at Univn workers, so in this country politicians and newspapers like the Hearst syndicate are crying, “Red! Red!” while they aim at the Federation of Labor. To combat the parliamentary manoeuvres of these reactionaries there is no method but the forming of a counter political party. Without it there will soon be a Reign of Terror on this side of the Rockies likewise. Another vital question ‘is this: how long will the nine Justices of the Supreme Court have arbitrary power to invalidate acts made by a Congress responding to the demands of.the people? In spite of Roosevelt’s | rebuffs at the hands of these nine men, he has not seriously attacked their position. Neither he nor the Republicans will mention this. prob- | lem in the ensuing election, yet it is the most important of all the prob- lems involved. Until one or the other it*will be no use for Labor to support these parties. Labor must create its own party and put its own questions before the country.
