Students Should Act
On Teacher’s Oath

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.

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 |

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

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.

Camels improves digestion... wards

the feeling of well-being and good

In a word, Camels set you right!
And, in smoking Camels for diges-

no wish goes unsatisfied. “So many of our
guests smoke Camels,” Erik says, “for they
have found that choice tobaccos add to the
pleasure of the meal. Camels are tremen-
dously popular—a leading favorite here.”
