Correspondence From the 'Reds'
"We earnestly ask that the campus jiidfro us by our own
words and deeds, not by the political affiliations of any of our
members." So writes Joseph P. Lash, rational secretary of the
American Student Union, a liberal organization of 20,000 U. S.
college and high school students, recently under 1he search
lights of the Dies committee.
"To have worked unflaggingly to awaken the student from
apathy is not un-American. To have striven unremittingly for
the welfare of our student generation is not un-American. To
have nailed to our mast 1he banner of a forward democracy is
not un-American. To have concerned ourselves with world
peace and world democracy with which our country's fate is
indissolubly bound is not un-American," writes the secretary.
A Free Trial for Fritz Kuhn
Fritz Kuhn, fuehrer of the German-American bund, was
tried by an American jury in an American court and found
guilty of larceny and forgery. He was sentenced to state prison
for from two and a half to five years. i
Did Kuhn have a fair trial, or was he found guilty because
of the prejudice of the jury?
A fair trial in the United States specifically means a trial
by jury. The American constitution guarantees everyone this
right. Trial by jury is a democratic institution, assuring the
defendant of a trial as free from prejudice as is humanly pos
sible. If a man is tried in a United States court by an unbiased
jury on the specific charges made, it can be said in all truth
that he had a fair trial.
Fritz Kuhn was tried and convicted by a jury a jury of
fair-minded citizens who saw their duty. They listened to both
the defendant and the plaintiff. They heard both sides of the
controversy. The judge in the trial more than once warned the
jury to try Kuhn on the specific charges made against him. He
recognized the danger of prejudice entering into a trial of a
man who arouses the public mind against him. And Fritz Kuhn
did arouse public opinion. He is looked on by most American
citizens as an undesirable alien who is the head of a pro-Ger
man, anti-American organization in the United States, and is
therefore a threat to democracy.
But Fritz Kuhn was not on trial for being a "rabble
Touser" as the judge termed him. He was on trial on charges
f larceny and foreerv. The United States court gave him a
fair trial. He had the right to defend himself. He was oonsid
ered innocent until proved guilty. And he was judged by the
court fairlv and without prejudice on the charges brought
against him, not on his general undesirability as an American
citizen.
So the United States gave a fair jury trial to Fritz Kuhn
And it will give a fair trial to everyone. One of our most
prized of all constitutional rights is the right of trial by jury
and the fact that legally a man is innocent until proved oiher-
wise. A. K.
Dear Editor:
Here is a letter that is signed,
but it will be only one of many,
now that a subject "has been
brought up for discussion.
In my case the answer is in the
affirmative to the question, "Do
you study on Sunday?" Why? It
has a nice lone afternoon and
evening free from interruptions
All students with a full load use
Sunday in some type of study
whether they have outside em
ployment or not. Those who are
working need Sunday afternoon
and evening to keep their heads
above the steadily moving stream
of assignments. How do I know?
Come around to a few rooming
houses and you will see for your
self.
There will be a great objection
to opening the library because
students will be required to work
on Sunday. Those who argue
thusly forget about the hundreds
of students working down town
who must work Sunday or not at
all. The Student Union hires many
students who work on Sunday for
the benefit of those wishing to
use the Union facilities.
Is this work less tedious than
checking books? The law library
is open on Sundays preceding
exams to give students & chance
to adequately prepare themselves,
yet the main library is closed to
those who must prepare assign
ments for Monday classes and
who work on Friday afternoons
and Saturdays.
Those who object to a change
will say that the students would
not use the library if it were open
Sunday, yet they will agree that
the library facilities are taxed to
meet the demand. Is this not a
way or spreading out the load;
Students who could not get the
book they wish to use during a
free time dining the week would
have another chance to get the
book.
Finally, other progressive In
stitutions have found it advan
tageous to open their libraries on
Sunday and students do use, them.
Couldn't Nebraska give it a try?
Yours truly,
Erie M. Constable.
