LETTERIP
Democratic?
The Student Council committee investigating the uni
versity health service has at last partially lifted the veil
of secrecy which has thus far concealed the results of the
investigation. In a letter carried in a story on page 1 of
Committee-Chairman Stuart Goldberg reveals that the re
sults of the recently-distributed health questionnaire have
been compiled into a comprehensive report and submitted
to Chancellor Doucher.
"Tn th r nnrt " thr letter states, "we listed criticisms,
comments and suggestions of the students and actually
quoted the students to deck up tne cnuusms aim sugges
tions made."
But not a word is said as to what these "criticisms,
comments and suggestions" were! In other words, the
students are told that the results of the investigation have
been submitted to Chancellor Boucher, but the results
themselves are kept strictly hush-hush, a secret which
must not be revealed to the very students who filled out the
questionnaires!
The letter concludes thus: "We feel that the actual
contents of the report should not be revealed until the ad
ministration has had a chance to act upon the matter, and
we know students will realize the advisability of this.
Reams of copy may be written in The Nebraskan about the
question, but in the last analysis it is the administration
that can actually act upon the matter. In the meantime,
students will be constantly informed of everything that the
Student Council and the administration does upon the stu
dent health question."
All of which brings up several pressing questions: Just
WHY should the contents of the report not be revealed to
the 'students? Is it at all certain that "students will realize
the advisability" of such secrecy? If students are to be
"constantly informed of everything that the Student
Council and the administration does upon the student
health question," why haven't they been told the results
of the questionnaire? Why are they being kept in the dark?
It is a basic postulate of democratic government that
citizens must be well-informed, must know what their gov
ernment is doing, if democracy is to function adequately.
An uninformed citizenry, one which is kept in ignorance
through suppression of facts, defeats the very purpose of
democratic government, makes it a mockery.
Yet here at the University of Nebraska this basic
principle of democracy is being ignored. Students are kept
ignorant of a matter which is of vital concern to them.
Is this democratic student government?
(Editor's note: This letter is printed in answer
to the Letterip of last week's Nebraskan from the
German-Japanese Council of International reace.)
Dear Editor:
Those who are ready to accept the German
claim that the nazi form of totalitarianism has
sprung from the inventive brain of its presiding
genius are apt to forget that the groundwork for
the theory had its roots in German political phi
losophy which has had a long history and was
given form by Fichte and Hegel.
Perry warned us against ever trusting the Japa
nese when he opened their ports. The fact that
the majority of the people in this barbarious
aggregation have not changed is vividly illus
trated by the burning of Manila.
Germany and Japan are not honorable nations,
consequently the proposals of the German-Jap
council "to seek an honorable peace" are not valid.
Ask any infantryman whether or not he is
fighting "fascist forces" or PEOPLE of barbarious
nations and yor. will get an indication of how to
deal with these countries so that they will not
rise again. Ward Brunson.
To the United Nations:
On Feb. 14 the governments which met
at Yalta issued a declaration in which they
stated their intention to give Eastern I
land to Russia and allow Poland compensa
tion in East Prussia and in German lands
to the east of the Oder. Although the Polish
government, reorganized m accordance with
the Yalta Declaration, has endeavored to ef
fect an acceptance of this settlement, it
now finds itself unable to stay in office with
the continued support of its people unless
further territorial concessions are made to
it which will satisfy the demands of the
heroic Polish people who have fought so
valiantly in this war. We are therefore de
manding (1) the return to Poland of the
city of Lwow, and (2) the cession by
Czechoslovakia of all of Teschen.
Failure on the part of the Peace Confer
ence to ecquiesce in tnese demands will
necessitate the formation of a new Polish
government by bringing in new pro-Russian
elements. In this event, it need hardly
be said, Poland will have become, for all
practical purposes, a dependency of Com
munist Russia.
Signed,
POLAND.
To the United Nations:
We German and Japanese liberals, who
have suffered more from the tyrannical
governments in our nations than any other
people in the world, plead with you to re

Peace can be secured not by further actions
of revenge but through co-operative effort

not be maintained through police force
alone. The Liberal Party of Germany and

come to the front at the end of the war)
need to be supported in their fight against
militaristic control. If revenge is sought, the
result will onlv be a more embittered people

lems of east Europe. The Curzon
line was decided as a boundary
and referred to a subcommittee.
The Dardanelles were recom
mended as being internationalized
but will be further discussed by
the subcommittee.
Discuss Balkans.
The Balkan federation was
basis for most of the discussion
at the meeting of committee six,
discussing territorial problems of
Central Europe and Balkans. It
was temporarily decided that
Yugoslavia, Greece, Albnnia, Bul
garia and Romania would form a
loose confederation, with the big
four acting as an advisory coun
cil, giving Russia special advisory
power in event of an emergency.
Czechoslovakia will be given pre
war boundaries. Transylvania is;
bounded on the east by the!
Transylvanian mountains and the:
rest goes to Romania. A plebis-j
cite will be held to determine the!
wishes of the Transylvanians.
Under decisions made by this
committee, west Thrace will go to
Greece, east Thrace to Turkey,
South Dobruyia to Bulgaria,
Salonika will become a free port

find out if Macedonia wishes to
be independent.

open door policy was adopted;
the United Nations should have
the power to send inspectors into

tions by mandates are to be heard
by the commission and can be
appealed by the mandate to
security council; mandates com
mission should have the author
ity to assign, transfer, terminate
and change the character of any
mandate; protection of mandates
shall evolve not on mandatory
power but upon the United Na
tions who shall have the power
by the security council to take
any necessary military measures.

sisting of all nations who have
mandates plus five neutral na
tions to be elected on a revolving
system for a term of two years

Miss Morini first came to the
United States when she was in her
late 'teens, after yearly tours thru
England and the continent. Her
first New York season here was
widely acclaimed and within the
next two seasons she played from
coast to coast. Returning to Eu
rope for seven years of tours, then
proceeding to tour Australia, Miss
Morini came back to the United
States to make her home and to
become a citizen. This season's
engagements have included per
formances with the New York
Philharmonic-Symphony and the
NBC Symphony. Critics acclaimed
her this year as "one of the great
est of all of the violinists before
the American public today."
