Revision of Democracy Is Problem of
Present, Coming
(HprclHl til The NrbrMkan)
Revision of democracy that it
may function more effectively in
these "dishevelled hours of transl
tion from old to new circumstances
of American life and enterprise" is
the problem facing the present and
coming generation, Pres. Glenn
Frank advised the 1,500 graduates
of the University of Wisconsin at
the baccalaureate services of the
school's eighty-first annual com
mencement last Sunday afternoon
in the men's field house.
With thousands of parents, rela
tives, and friends of the graduates
in attendance, President Frank
outlined for the young men and
women who were closing their uni
versity careers four fundamental
questions the answers to which
will determine the destiny of the
American people, he said. The ser
mon was broadcast over a nation
wide radio hookup to all parts of
the country.
America Must Decide.
These four questions are: Are
we to strengthen democracy or
surrender to dictatorship? Are
we to pursue our enterprise in
freedom or under regimentation?
.Are we to establish control of
this age of plenty or execute a
return to an age of scarcity?
Are we to walk the ways of a
realistic internationalism or go
in for the economic monasti
cism of the nationalists?
Urging the graduates to "con
quer the paralyzing indecision of
will" which restrains us from mak
ing the "decisions demanded of us
at this historic juncture in Ameri
can affairs", President Frank told
the graduates that revision of de
mocracy, but not renunciation of
democracy in favor of dictatorship,
is needed.
Two suggestions respecting the
necessary revision of democracy,
"as the price we must pay for the
avoidance of dictatorship," were
outlined by President Frank.
Suggests Two Revisions.
First we should establish a fixed
procedure for "crisis government"
for emergencies, since the normal
processes of democracy are not de
signed to deal with such crisis of
the ( magnitude the world-wide
depression assumed, he said. Sec
ondly, we should effect a realloca
tion of functions between the
legislature and the executive in
government, since parliamentary
democracy is not adapted to the
effective administration of a vast,
complex, and swiftly moving na
tional life.
Discussing regimentation of en
terprise by government, President
Frank said that some measure of
social control of private enterprise
has become imperative.
"We have reached a point in our
economic evolution at which some
force above the battle of private
interests, whether it be the force
of organized industry itself or the
power of the state, must insure the
adontion. throughout our business
and our industrial system of mini
mum policies respecting wages,
hours, prices, and profits that will
bring our capacity to purchase into
such relation to our capacity to
produce as will keep our industrial
system a going concern minister
ing effectively to the maximum
needs of the millions," he declared.

Warning that governmental in
tervention in business processes is
often inept, President Frank said
that governmental inspiration of
broad economic policy, and if
necessary, its imposition, may now
and then be imperative. He as
serted that if "government will but
keep clear and distinction between
the broad guidance of economic
policy and the detailed regimenta
tion of business administration,
the United Stated has the chance
to evolve a sounder relation be
tween economics and politics than
either the communisms or fascisms
of the hour can possibly achieve."
In respect to the issue of an eco
nomics of plenty versus an eco
nomics of scarcity, President
Frank declared that the most dis
turbing fact of the time is the
number of Americans, in high posi
tion and low, who are falling vic
tim to a defeatist mood, apparently
assuming that progress has come
to a dead and, that science and
technology have been too efficient
in producing a limitless output at
low prices, and that the thing to
do is to plan a lesser output at
higher prices.
Hits Production Restriction.
"To restrict production and to
raise prices, as a general policy,
is not liberalism but reaction, not
statesmanship but surrender, not
creative advance but cowardly
retreat," he maintained. "That
way lies the subsidizing of inef
ficiency. That way lies the
sabotage of superior manage
ment that knows how to bring
both the cost of production and
the price of products down. That
way lies a permanent and peril
ous lowering of living standards
for the swarming millions.
"It was not for this that the
pioneers builded their blood and
sacrifice into the foundations of
this republic. .More goods at
lower prices, not fewer goods at
higher prices Is the logical goal
of an age of science and technol
ogy," he asserted.
Need World Policy.
Turning to the issue of interna
tionalism versus nationalism, Pres
ident Frank pointed out that at the
moment the economic relations of
the world are paralyzed by a baf
fling paradox, in that wnne me
process of the world's life grow
dnllv more international, the poli
cies of the world's governments
grow daily more national.
"T am convinced that the modern
world cannot be run effectively in
terms of isolated economic nation
alisms," he affirmed. "The modern
world is bound together by the
lithe arms of rapid transportation,
instantaneous communication, and
the frontier-crossing agencies of
credit, contract, capital, and cor
porate organization.
We cannot reverse ima Dasic
fart hv transient ventures in
swashbuckling nationalism. Ulti
mately some sort of world policy
must dominate world trade rela
tions. Such policy seems impos
sible of achievement at the mo
ment, but it will be one of the
major obligations of your genera
tion to surmount rather than sur
render to the difficulties that to
day tie statesmanship to the par
ish pump the world around," he
told the graduates.

CONNING
THE CAMPUS
with
Howard Dobson
Assuming that a change in the
social order is taking place, do you
think that our present educational
system is fitting young people to
take a place in the new society?
Lawrence Holden, Cozad, Nebr.
I Imagine you mean that society
is coming to accept different
standards of success, for instance
I am not sure that our present
educational system is really ful
filling its duty in that way. It used
to be that when we were in grade
school that we heard that a col
lege graduate earned so much per
year, a high school graduate so
much less per year, and so on. We
were, therefore, urged to continue
our education with that in mind.
I feel, frankly, that the average
student today has just that Idea
in the back of his mind. If a real
change is to take place in society,
this idea must be replaced by other
conceptions of the purpose of an
education, and the accomplishing
of this change lies with educa
tional system. I'm not sure it's be
ing done, altho I feel that educa
tors see their task and will head
that way as rapidly as possible.
Adeline Farnsworth, Hull, la.
"I rather doubt whether any real
change is taking place. I think it's
a movement comparable to the
hysterical wave of brotherly love
etc., that swept over the world
just after the World war. If there
is a real change taking place, I
think that the educational system
will have a greater part than any
other one agency."
Harold Madden, Wausa, Neb.
"I would like to think that sociolo
gists are right in saying that a
real change is taking place in our
social order. I do think that such
a thing could be accomplished now
and would like to see it done. I
think that the educational system
will be one of the very first insti
tutions to attune itself, but I hard
ly think that it is adjusted right
now. I believe that eduactors will
see the way more quickly than
anyone else, and that a great deal
of the job will be handled by
them."
- Clifford Harlan, Springfield, S.
D. "I don't think the present ed
ucational system is fitting young
people, as you say, to take a place
in any new social order. It could
easily be changed to do this, but I
don't think it is now. I don't even
see much of a change taking place
in the social order. Let's hope
there is, though."
I saw an elderly Negro enter a
downtown cafe the other day,
quietly seat himself at the extreme
back end of the counter that ran
the length of the place, and sit
there patiently for several minutes
while two student waiters, under
the orders of the manager, studi
ously ignored him. He finally
spoke to one of them, explaining
that he was in a hurry to get back
to work, and ordered a sandwich
and a glass of beer. Here the man-

BIBLE IS IN CHARGE
OF COACHING SCHOOL
Husker Mentor's Guests
Will Join Him in
Estes Park.
Coach D. X. Bible, who has been
appealing at a tutoring session for
prep school coaches in Omaha dur
ing the last few days, will conduct
a coaching school for about ten
days during July at Estes Park,
Colo.
The coach's family will leave the
middle of July for Kstes Park,
where they will be joined by Mrs.
Bible's mother and sister, Mrs.
A. M. Rho'des and Mrs. R. E. Colo
and family, all of Fort Worth,

in the mountains.
ager hurried down the counter and
took the situation in hand.
The chef was ordered to put just
a splinter of meat between the un-
buttered slices of bread, and the
manager himself not enough of a
man to tell the Negro that his
trade was not wanted, filled a beer
glass three-fourths full of water
and added just enough beer to
give the water a yellowish tint.
The Negro, having paid the full
menu price, of course, ate and
drank with apparently as much
relish as though he had received
the same well-filled sandwich that
was being served to white patrons,
and asked for another glass of
"beer." He received the same
treatment as before, paid the reg
ular price as before, and walked
out, haughtily.
Maybe I'm wrong.
