It was his evaluationof great teaching. ("Ignorance is avice; but so is dullness. The formerbetrays one's students; the latter insults them.")But as we went to press last montha release reached my desk from ourUniversity Hospitals. It was datedFebruary 16 and was from Kermit Eby:As many of you may know, I amcritically ill with cancer. To those ofyou who have sent cards, notes, andflowers and phoned my office, I wantto say thank you for remembering mein my illness. It is comforting to knowof the concern and prayers of so manypeople. . . .As I lie here flat on my back . . . Iwant to talk to you about this matterof cancer. . . . Some people have askedif they might send flowers. I wouldrather they gave money to cancer research . . . I would that my friendsgave in proportion to their love for me,good or ill.Others, who smoke or drink or usecosmetics might give at least theequivalent of the cost of a carton ofcigarettes, a fifth of Scotch or a bottleCOLUMBUS, Ohio area alumni will _.& , _ ,., , .>e receiving invitations to attend the of eau de Cologne. Much money goes \ nanApril 27th morning seminar at Ohio for things which are not essential; these U*^seem hardly more essential than theflowers which I have declined!But cancer research and charity AREessential. It is essential to improve thedetection and treatment and to bringthe cost of care for cancer within thereach of everyone. There are so manyof our fellow men— also sons of God—who need our help. Some of us get thebest care that is available. But whatdeeply concerns me are the "bums onthe Bowery" the many people forwhom society does so little.What disturbs me are the rich andcomplacent who do nothing to lend ahand. . . . People are so blinded toreality— including the reality of thethreat of cancer and the great need ofthose humble ones of modest meanswho are stricken by it. . . . "As you didit to the least of these my brethren,you did it to me." Sincerely, KERMITEBY.A week later, February 22, a secondbulletin came from Kermit Eby, whois proud of his thirty-five years as aBrethren minister, living and preaching the love of man:In the last several days my conditionhas improved somewhat. The treatment has had some effect on the cancer ... I am at peace psychologicallyand now I am even walking a few steps,with assistance.. . . There is a great deal of researchgoing on in the general field of cancer.But only a limited amount is relatedto stomach cancer in particular. . . .The University is one of several placeswhere such research is being carriedon. Contributions for the research hereshould be made to the University ofChicago. . . .Thus spoke one of Chicago's dedicated teachers critically "flat on hisback," later "walking a few steps," andfinally, as I write this March 10th,with the possibility that he may beable to return home.If you wish to make a gift, in response to his suggestion, you can makeit payable to the University of Chicago,indicate its restriction to cancer, andadd, "in re Eby appeal." It will be taxdeductible and we'll find it a real pleasure to notify Kermit (at his home, wehope) that you made the gift in hisname.H.W.M.APRIL, 1962 1U N I VERS ITY OFCHICAGOmagazine5733 University AvenueChicago 37, IllinoisMidway 3-0800; Extension 3244EDITOR Marjorie BurkhardtEDITORIAL ASSISTANT Rona MearsFEATURES3 The New World of LearningChauncy D.

His regionalsPecialty is the Soviet Union. The son of Franklin Harris,Pres'dent of Brigham Young University for 24 years and ofUtah State University for five years, Mr. Harris received hisachelor,s from Brigham Young. As a Rhodes scholar, heearned his B.A. and M.A. degrees at Oxford, and in 1940,s Ph-D. at the University of Chicago. He has been on theQcu,ty here since 1943. Learning is a life-long continuing pleasure-givingprocess, not a static condition. Unless you continueyour intellectual activity into new horizons you soonwill become ossified as a mental fossil. There are twobases for this assertion: your own inherent nature andthe character of modern scholarship.A human being not stimulated by new thoughtsand sensations becomes moribund. Psychologists reportthat in a state of prolonged sensory deprivation, perceptions deteriorate and become inaccurate, even hallucinatory. Indeed, recent work by Donald W. Fiskeand Salvatore R. Maddi suggests that human and otherorganisms need continuing varied experiences to develop and function properly and to maintain a levelof alertness. In esthetic pleasure, even more than insimple sensory perception, variety, novelty, and changeplay key roles, as suggested by T. S. Eliot in poetry,Leonard B. Meyer in music, John R. Piatt in physicsand biophysics, and many students in language.The scholarly corpus, like an organism, is vital onlywhen it is receiving original ideas, or new inputs, touse the jargon of the day. Fortunately the contemporary world of learning is very much alive. It is beingcontinually rejuvenated by fresh knowledge, novel insights, and unexpected interpretations. Indeed thepresent pace of new discoveries, particularly in thesciences, is so rapid that much of your present information will be outmoded within a few years.I have chosen to talk today about the dynamicquality of modern science and scholarship. By discussing revolutionary changes which have taken placesince my own student days, I hope to present a previewof the types of transformations that are likely to faceyou in the years ahead in the New World of LearningAfter Your Graduation.The discourse is not about your specialized neids assuch, nor about mine, but rather about broad intellectual 'interests appropriate to any individual with aliberal education and a vigorous curiosity— that is, aUniversity of Chicago graduate. One example is taken***** 1962 3from each of the four great divisions of knowledge:the biological sciences, the physical sciences, the socialsciences, and the humanities. The illustrations are notnecessarily the most important scholarly advances inthese fields but rather are ones that have captured myimagination. In each of them present or former studentsor faculty of the University of Chicago have playedroles.Thirty years ago in my college biology classes talkin genetics was about genes and fruit flies and workfor which Thomas Hunt Morgan received the NobelPrize in 1933. Recently in reading an article on genesin the McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, I noticed that the Thomas Hunt Morgan Professor of Biology at the California Institute of Technology reported a tendency to discard entirely theword "gene." Biological discourse has changed fromgenes and fruit flies of my student days to DNA andbacteria of yours. Scientists such as George WellsBeadle by experimenting with pink bread mold orJ. D. Watson with the model of the structure of theDNA molecule have outmoded my college biology, asthat of today may be by yet new discoveries in thenext quarter century. But how exhilarating it has beenfor my college generation to follow the exciting research in genetics, molecular biophysics, biochemistry,and microbiology that is unraveling the great mysteryand miracle of the continuity of life on the earth.In the physical sciences undoubtedly the most spectacular achievement since my university student dayshas been man-controlled release of nuclear energy. Adramatic step in this process was the achievement of achain reaction by Enrico Fermi, Arthur H. Compton,Samuel K. Allison, Herbert L. Anderson, and others, atthe University of Chicago in Stagg Field, as conveyedin the wartime secret code message announcing success,"The Italian navigator has reached the New World."The date was 1942, a fortuitous rearrangement of thenumbers in the year 1492.The splitting, or fission, of heavy atoms of uraniumor plutonium, a source of nuclear energy alreadyachieved, may save mankind from a threatened fuelshortage and provide more powerful motors for transport. Several countries already operate electric generating stations driven by nuclear reactors. Nuclear-powered submarines have sailed under the ice to theNorth Pole and under water entirely around the worldin the route of Magellan.A far greater potential source of nuclear energy isthe joining, or fusion, of lightweight atoms, isotopes ofhydrogen. This is called a thermonuclear reactionbecause it requires a temperature of about 35 milliondegrees. It is thought to be one of the principal sourcesof energy in the sun and the stable stars. Fusion power,if it can be developed and controlled, will open up aNew World of power with tremendous advantages overpresently emerging fission power: (1) fusion powerdoes not produce radioactive by-products, one of themost perplexing problems of present nuclear reactors,and (2) the reserves of raw material are vastly greater,since heavy hydrogen occurs as about one part in 5,000of ordinary hydrogen in the vast reservoir in the world'soceans. Atomic energy has a profound effect on re^among the nations. As suggested by Robert Majj^Hutchins in his provocative address, "The Good JNof Damnation" ( 1947), the hellish power of destruj^of nuclear bombs and radioactivity may even scontending nations into some sort of accommocmerely for survival. JRecent developments in the use of isotopes *e ^the universality of the world of science and its dX** ^quality. In the physical sciences isotopes of hydr & jand uranium form the basis of mans productsnuclear energy. Other isotopes are used by geol°& ofto determine the age of mineral deposits and roCVaVeof the earth itself. In biology radioactive tracers ^helped study the nocturnal movement of bats, ^migration of cockroaches in New Orleans sewers,lif etime of a red blood cell, the diffusion rate of bact ^the movement of minerals from soil to plant, an $status of the human thyroid gland. In the huma ^sband the social sciences carbon- 14 has helped estathe age of archeological sites and thus date the peof man's cultural evolution. All this is new sincestudent days. . te$Among the social sciences, economics ilIuS^Ltj/changing interests. The concepts "economic f?° ^and "underdeveloped areas" were themselves un ^,developed a few years ago as evidenced by *eir Qtsence from the Encyclopedia of the Social Sciend ?<the fourteenth edition of the Encyclopedia Britann^ jNeither term appeared in the textbooks in econ(?mlar<)'used in college, though the phenomenon of b^k^oSe-ness was well known. T. W. Schultz and Bert F. **litz have explored some of the aspects of econ ^development, particularly in relation to educationcultural change. Two momentous questions jaroused widespread interest in economic growth: K^Can the Western liberal democracies develop a ^of economic expansion to match that recently achie ^by the Soviet Union, and if so, should they pay ^price? The Soviet economic surge is dramatic^expressed in coal and steel, twin pillars of m°industry. When I was in college their ProduC{\° itedthe Soviet Union was only one-tenth that in the un^ ^States; today their production in the two country ^roughly equal. (2) Can underdeveloped countrtftoday achieve a rate of economic development equor greater than their rates of population explosion, o <described by Philip M. Hauser? As the queen obse' din Through the Looking-Glass, one has to run veryto keep in the same place. Can the present uncie ^veloped countries run that hard? The gloomy Prf aVetions of past centuries of both Malthus and Marxbeen flatly contradicted by rising standards of l^jjof workers in industrialized Western countries. ^Qthe underdeveloped countries of today be able m ^coming years to attain similar rapid per capita econogrowth? If so, how? 0$Although interest in the sciences tends to focurecent discoveries, reading in the humanities ocourses back across the centuries to the most Pre(:\jj,gems of mankind's accumulated wisdom. As an *vidual increases in age and maturity, his learningside his own professional specialty typically turns mand more toward the realm of the arts and letters.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZlN, In the humanities the teaching of foreign languages«a$ witnessed two sharply contrasting movements. First*as an increase in the efficiency of learning to read^pugh the construction of controlled sequentialWritten material, developed at the University of Chi-Jifg° particularly in the graded readers in French byUtto F. Bond and in German by Peter Hagboldt, booksmany of you may have used in preparing for readinglaminations. Later came an entirely different approachWl* emphasis on the spoken language through the°ral-aural method as foreshadowed by the pioneer and^ndamental work by Leonard Bloomfield and latereIaborated during World War II by the intensive armyfiguage programs of the Linguistic Society of America7d the American Council of Learned Societies. Eachot these two methods has its advantages and limitations.. A. further revolution in the study of foreign languagesls )*ust dawning in the realization that five-sixths of thepeoPle of the world do not understand or speak any* the traditional Western languages of internationalscholarship; English, French, or German. It is true,^course, that these tongues, along with Latin, Italian,?nd some other languages of Western Europe, haveDeeii the media through which most of modern science,^chnology, government, and commerce has seen bothX and flowering. Yet other great languages meritp^ty. For example, in Brazil alone more people speakJ0rtuguese than speak French in France. In certainnelds Russian has become a key international language.B«t even more neglected in the past have been thegeat languages of Asia. Mandarin Chinese, Japanese,fmdi and Urdu, Bengali, or Arabic each has moreWers than French. Except for Arabic none of these;as taught at the University of Chicago in my under-Paauate days. All are now taught. Some of theser^guages have had a long history of scholarly con-Tuitions. At the time that Columbus discoveredJ^erica, China is said to have produced more books>Jai1 all other countries combined. Now on display in^arPer Library as part of a special exhibit of the Uni-,ersty of Chicago Far Eastern and South Asia collects are a copy of the world's earliest extant printing,!Jat»ig back to about 770 A.D.; a Chinese book, lent by; ¦ ' «• Tsien, printed in 1134, about three centuries be-'0re the Gutenberg Bible; and early literary works inseveral languages from India. Sanskrit has had a longer'ec°rd of a literature continuously studied and culti-,ated than any Western language. The Rig-Vedasfjkdate by centuries that great classic of Greek,lterature, the Homeric poems. Today modern languagesfended from Sanskrit are spoken by about 400^'lion people.. In recent years the University of Chicago has under-J*en work in the languages and cultures of several7>y non-Western areas, under the leadership of Edward£ Kracke, Jr., and Herrlee G. Creel in Far Eastern>ilizations, George V. Bobrinskoy and Milton B.>ger in South Asian Studies, and Hugh McLean and^opold H. Haimson in the Slavic and Russian field.^hese programs are particularly strong because hu-, anists and linguists join with social scientists to seekgrounded understandings of non-Western culturesnd societies.CONCLUDED ON PAGE 8 A Small Who's Whoin Mr. Harris'New World of LearningDonald W.

Haimson, Associate Professor of Russian History^RIL, 1962TWO AUTHORSIN SEARCH OF A CHAI^Two prize-winning novelists have been "Celebrities inResidence" in the College this school year: in the FallQuarter, Saul Bellow, and in the Winter Quarter, RalphEllison. Everyone (students, faculty, the Maroon, Phoenix,public relations, and the press) wanted to talk with them.Here are some of the things they said:First, Saul Bellow. He is the author of the prize-winningnovels The Adventures of Augie March, and, Henderson,the Rain King. He attended the University of Chicago fortwo years before receiving his bachelor's degree fromNorthwestern University in 1937.ON THE AMERICAN CHARACTER:"For hundreds of thousands of years, humans livedin hunger, scarcity, privation, and fear. The Americanin the 20th Century has changed. We've changed thenature of poverty forever."For the time being, the American today is an enthusiastic consumer of goods. Almost as a matter ofpatriotism he has to buy. Even former President Eisenhower, during the recessions of his terms in office, saidit was our duty to buy manufactured goods."The picture of the United States therefore seems tobe — sometimes — that of a pig heaven."But this revolution of abundance also has broughtwith it certain possibly unfavorable consequences: Itmay have left us without a system of values."All of the higher things in life in this civilizationare closely identified with asceticism. And this makespeople feel uneasy in a culture of plenty. How else canit be when the philosophy of asceticism teaches us toaccept self renunciation and self denial?"This asceticism is part of our religious heritagewhich haunts everyone. There are very few valuesystems based on abundance."ON THE STATE OF AMERICAN FICTION TODAY:"I don't think American writers today are dealingadequately with the American character. The writersdon't know what happens in the high councils of business or how a Pentagon decision is made."Yet, many of them feel that they have to be fullyresponsible for the facts and to report the facts reliably.Comedy and fantasy have no such responsibility.6 "Realism and naturalism require a degree of spcialization that writers today don't have. Very rare;1now, do you get a writer who attempts a panornovel"You have in the United States today two typesam'cofwriters: On the one hand, you have the writer v?b°WUIC1J.

I would call these tfey writers."Me, where do I fit? I find that every book I wr>'seems different from the last. I would be glad if I coulfind a consistency in myself."ON THE NOVELIST-TURNED-TEACHER:"The novelist in the role of a teacher brings to J'1task the outlook of the practitioner. He is able, unli*the non-novelist teacher, to examine and dissect pro13lems with a novel with the eye of a fellow writer."The novelist looks at literature as a practitioner-—F"*^ ^^^^^^H^^^F JjwMpPH8™||. . ":v^M <4.J* w. ^^^ ^^I^H ': *-^ 1 ^$-.s!fi^lk-f^ xH . ESSE ¦ 1 HMfl^^^BBhfc '-v.. wlTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE0 WRITEA NOVELtom certain matters in a piece of literature seem fairlySelf-evident— which may not be as evident to a literate professor."For example, the writers may simply be trying toc°mplete a narration with certain lines in his storywhich he considers necessary to complete his pattern."In the end of The Killers, the short story by Hemingway, there is a dialogue between the landlady and NickAdams about the Swede. Then the kid returns to the^er and has a conversation with the two employees..' "This dialogue has been open to a lot of interpretation. But as a writer, I see it as necessary to complete^e pattern and not necessarily as containing anything°* a symbolic nature."On the other side of the question— that of the roleof the writer as teacher— is the feeling, rather widespread, that writers should never be at a university ataU. according to Mr. Bellow."This often betrays the attitude that the university iss°rnething like a reservation — necessarily remote from[eal life. Writers— as well as non-writers— sometimes"ave this feeling."I don't necessarily feel this. Life is impossibly realeverywhere."There is a convention about the remoteness of theProfessor and the impotence of the theorist. This incudes the feeling that life has to be decontaminatedbefore it can be clearly thought out."It's true that life is rough on the outside, but it'salso true that life on the outside is less thoughtful.There are not many places where thought is encouraged; however, the university is one place where thisfc so."I've done a certain amount of teaching— not too'Huch— and I've found that too long an exposure to theacademic life can be damaging. The academic community is a rather neat, tight little community, especially in a university not situated near a big city."°N THE NOVEL OF THE FUTURE:Fifty years ago "the next necessary thing" was tog'Ve up the narrative in the novel as did James Joyceand Gertrude Stein. Then, the surrealists called for anupheaval of the previous order. Later Malraux and^RIL, 1962 Sartre treated absurdity more seriously, not comicallyas the Dadaists.Presently, quests for the next necessary thing takemany forms, according to Mr. Bellow. The next necessary thing cannot be predicted or prescribed; it cannot be a product of design or invention; that is whyit is necessary. In conclusion he asked: "Isn't it thepurpose of genius to surprise us?" ¦I Ralph Ellison is the author of the National Book Awardnovel, Invisible Man. For the past three years he has beenteaching courses in American literature and the Russiannovel at Bard College in Annon-Dale-on-Hudson, New York.He attended Tuskegee Institute, where he majored in music,and in 1955 received the Rome Prize of the AmericanAcademy of Arts and Letters and spent two years as aFellow of the American Academy in Rome. He came tocampus as Alexander White Visiting Professor. Mr. Ellison:ON WRITING:"Writing is a discipline which involves the deepestlevels of the psyche, and because of this the process oflearning to write is a process of discovery of oneselfand one's values at the same time and in the sameprocess that one is learning the technique of self-expression."In literature we're going through a period in whichwe are reassessing what is significant in the Americanexperience. Areas of life and forms of consciousnesswhich were ignored in earlier writing are now beingdepicted and we're learning to be at ease with thetechnical tools which have come to us from the experimenters of the twenties — although we've definitelyended, it seems to me, the mood expressed by theimportant novels of the twenties. However, to rejectthe mood of this work is not to reject it completely, or,indeed, to cease to marvel at its achievements. I canstill go back and read Hemingway with a sense ofdiscovery. And when I'm reading with close attentionI can find those cubbyholes, those secret doors commonto the Rolls Royce. I also find similar areas in Faulkner,whose work becomes more and more significant as thedrama of the South unfolds."However, the writer should be ever on the lookout7for the significantly new. He should be glad to discover those among his fellow writers who affirm hissense of reality, his sense of life. But the writer is alsoone who must have his own say, who must project hisown vision. And no one else can fully satisfy this need.Perhaps it is this need which leaves you dissatisfiedwith contemporary writing. If you're a real writer,you feel the obligation to supply that which is missing,to bring the reader into your world of meaning, yoursense of life. And no one can do this for you becauseit is a need for completion, for self-achievement. Otherwise there'd be no need to undergo the agony ofwriting, you'd simply say Well, George over there didit well enough.'". . . Perhaps part of the lack which you feel arisesbecause much writing ignores the atmosphere in whichwe live. For a good while Americans were able toignore the more disturbing overtones of our experienceand now these overtones are inescapable. We werealways able to hear some of it in certain types of jazzand in the blues. Perhaps we hear it in some of theserialist composers, though I'm not sure about that.Certainly we get some of its violence in the animatedcartoons, and in the so-called comic books."ON JAMES BALDWIN AS A NEGRO WRITER:"A lot of people would like to believe that [JamesBaldwin's writing is limited to his experience as aNegro] I suppose, because it makes it unnecessary toconfront the reality of which Baldwin writes. Be thatas it may, race is one of the major facts of our timeand perhaps one reason it has become so explosive isprecisely because it has been consciously ignored inliterature. Besides, it is at least as important a themeas sex or dope, and if it moves Baldwin to expression,to eloquence, then our proper concern is with whathe makes of it artistically. Undoubtedly he bringsenough passion to it to indicate that the impact of raceupon personality is a very important matter for himand he gives voice to it with impressive skill. On theother hand my own concerns with race are a bit mutedand perhaps I am really more impatient, more concerned with putting race in a wider perspective. Perhaps matters which I work out in the silence of myroom, Baldwin works out on the printed page; perhapsI have less hope, I don't know."... I feel this: American Negro experience isanother form of American experience, another form ofWestern experience.

WEBER WILL OFFER A SEMINAR FORAlUMNl AT THAT TIME.. T«e growing concern over the effects of wage bargain-lng> particularly its effects on the price level, has led toa |arge number of proposals for new national wagePolicies. Although it is not possible here to mention all0t these, the broad outlines of the most frequently pro-P°sed solutions can be sketched. The most commonProPosal has been to limit increases in money wagesand fringe benefits to the historical rate of increase of°utput per man-hour, a policy that would permitlability of the general price level. In most instances,ProPosals of this kind have relied on the voluntary wagerestraint of the parties to bargaining. Thus *e Economic Report of the President for January, 1959 stated:Increases in money wages and other compensationnot justified by the productivity performance otthe economy are inevitably inflationary. . . • ^eJf-discipline and restraint are essential if agreementsconsistent with a reasonable stability of prices areto be reached within the framework of the treecompetitive institutions on which we rely heavilyfor the improvement of our material welfare.^though this passage suggests the tone of most of theproPosals, some have gone beyond it and have sug-Sested the establishment of machinery to regulate or'UPervise the setting of wages and prices in majorpustries. For example, the Reuss bill introduced inJe House of Representatives in 1958 and considereda .some length by the Committee on Government Operas, would hive directed the Council of EconomicRisers to study proposed wage and P»ce;™e*»<* to report to the President incases found to have*» adverse effect. The President would thus be enabled0 make specific requests for wage or price restraint* ^ partis directJy involved. Still '™*™g^R* forth by independent experts in a^ Report to the^ganization of European Economic °™&g™ '*V(*ates a specific government "wage policy. It suggestsAPRIL, 1962 that the government calculate and announce what wageincrease each year is "appropriate to the economicsituation and consistent with stability of the price level."It recommends that this wage limit be publicized andthat the government "mobilize support for it."We oppose national wage policies along the lines ofthe proposals that have just been reviewed. Our reasonsare these:| The proposal to keep the price level stable and to¦ keep wage increases in line with changes in outputper man-hour logically implies acceptance of the proposition that the wage-earner's present share of nationalincome is correct and should not change. When thisimplication is made explicit, we do not believe it willcommand the support of the parties. Although we haveno special reason for feeling that the wage-earner'sshare of income is either too high or too low at thistime, we cannot subscribe to the proposition that thepresent share will necessarily continue to be appropriate under unforeseen future conditions.2 A uniform wage policy is incompatible with diversity in movement of wage rates as between firms,industries, and areas. Such diversity is essential to theoperation of a free economy since differences in wagerates reflecting shifting market forces are a powerfulinfluence directing the flow of labor to uses consideredmost productive by society. Thus, the productivitywage formula does not provide an appropriate criterionfor influencing wages in particular industries and occupations. Indeed, when public officials advance thisstandard, they may do no more than convert the hoped-for average into the minimum acceptable settlement.«j We do not believe that general appeals for volun-** tary restraint, from whatever source, will have anylasting effect on the course of wage negotiations. Theprimary duty of negotiators is to represent the interestsof union members and owners. Where the full use ofbargaining power by either side would conflict with thenational interests as defined by the President and hisadvisers, two fundamentally different approaches arepossible. One is to urge the negotiators to sacrifice theinterests of their principles to the national interest—the policy of restraint. The other is to seek ways toreduce or balance excessive power in the hands otbargainers. We believe that the second is in the longrun both more effective and more consistent with theprinciples of a free society. We make suggestions towardthis end in our subsequent section on power.There may be circumstances where the first alternative—the policy of restraint— can have the desirableeffect of checking the upward movement of price indexes. It is important, however, that such a courseitself be used with caution and with full realization ofits implications. There will be a tendency to use thispolicy in cases involving collective bargaining situationsthat are large and highly visible since these makedramatic targets. It may well be true, however, thatthe more "unrestrained" settlements are made in localbargaining by strategic groups in such industries asconstruction and transportation. It is difficult to reachthese groups with the policy of restraint. Uneven application of the policy may lead to uneconomic relationships among wage and price movements in varioussectors of the economy. The policy also implies thatgovernment will not pressure managements to giveground in an effort to settle major strikes. Finally, itmust be borne in mind that a call for restraint is a callon union or management leaders to modify their traditional function of representing workers and owners.Clearly, this policy involves manifold ramificationswhich together mean that its usefulness is limited.a We are opposed to the establishment of perma-nent governmental machinery to regulate or reviewthe wage determinations made through collective bargaining, although we recognize that some such machinery may be required under conditions of nationalemergency. In other circumstances, however, we question whether the decisions made by such a regulatorybody would promote national welfare more consistentlythan the decisions made at the bargaining table. Permanent government regulation of review of wage determination would interfere with the traditional freedomof the parties to bargain collectively and could easilylower the efficiency of labor markets. In addition, theimposition of artificial restraints by such a regulatorybody could lead to damaging strikes, as it has in thepast when employers understandably resist wagechanges until they are assured that price changes willbe permitted.As the preceding discussion suggests, we are deeplyconcerned about the possibility that collective bargaining has contributed to recent price increases, or that itwould contribute more substantially to price increasesat satisfactory levels of employment. Nevertheless, wedo not regard the evidence on this point as clear orconclusive enough to warrant major changes in oursystem of wage determination at this time.Our rejection of many of the recent proposals fornational wage policy does not mean that we are completely satisfied with the recent history of wage determination under collective bargaining. In our judgement, furthermore, the parties to bargaining, as wellas many workers and employers not covered by bargaining have developed unrealistic expectations about thedesirability or inevitability of annual increases in moneywages for all workers under all circumstances. In aneconomy marked by rapid progress, it is appropriatefor most workers to get periodic increases in wages.These increases, however, need not and undoubtedlyshould not be so regular and inexorable as to precludeconsideration of the economic circumstances of theindustry, the firm, or the local labor market.The expectation of regular and broadly uniformannual increases in money wages is in part a hangoverfrom the years immediately following World War II.The pressures of demand inflation on the cost of livinghelped to promote uniform and frequent wage increases, as did the rivalries among some union leaderseach of whom was unwilling to see his rivals makelarger gains at the bargaining table. The leveling offof prices and the lessening of some of the rivalrieswithin the labor movement may encourage even morethan in the past diversity in wage patterns and carefulconsideration of the circumstances surrounding eachnegotiation.The parties to bargaining have an interest in considering a broad range of economic consequences from10 their actions. At times, for example, unions may aswhether wage increases during a recession could &;raising costs retard the rate at which their unemployemembers are re-employed. They can take into accou*1the possibility that wage increases in an industry losingmarkets to foreign competitors can accelerate this l°sof markets. They can ask whether in an industry wh#"most workers are paid incentive wages, and thus shardirectly in some productivity gains, it is appropriatecopy the annual base-wage increments of an industrythat pays time rates, in which changes in base wageare the only channel through which workers share *productivity gains. In some cases, negotiators may ^lSto hold wages constant for several years in orderallow time and to accumulate funds for working °uproblems of relocation, retraining, and reorganizatioof the work force made necessary by changes in dmand or in technology. More generally, we are suggesting that these may be times for the parties to *eexamine their own interests in the wage determinati?process, to see whether they have not construed thetoo narrowly and too mechanically. Indeed, if vvagsettlements do contribute to further inflation, the par*fmay find that they force on government policy a deflationary bias, with harmful results for employef 'employees, and unions.We believe that considerations such as those d1cussed above along with other problems and otneviews should be brought forcefully and periodical;to the attention of labor and management. We ther^fore urge that the President's Council of EconoflJ*Advisers develop each year in connection withEconomic Report a statement about the economic c°sequences of collective bargaining, past and prospect^'This statement and the commentary on it developed *hearings on the Report may be made the agendathe annual Labor-Management Conference on the Ec°^nomic Report called by the President. The objectiof this Conference should be to share informal0 ^among leaders of government, labor and managerneand to develop a deeper understanding of economprocesses, especially as these are related to union acompany policies in collective bargaining. The ^°ference should be small in size and informal in atm°phere. It should not be expected to produce a rep0 ^or a statement, as the effort to produce such a docurnemight well frustrate the deeper goals — better un jLstanding and better working relationships among *groups represented.Let us make clear our belief, however, that hea ;responsibility for maintaining a reasonable stable prllevel rests on government, especially on its actionsfields other than union-employer relations. Fiscal anmonetary policies are the principal means for keep* gthe goal of reasonable stability in the price levelleast within reach. And government policies that ane^particular prices or produce markets directly, sue nimport quotas, agricultural price supports, or subsi ;programs, should be reviewed with an eye to thecontributions to inflationary pressures. The probleminflation must be taken into account in the formulati0of government policies in many areas if the actionsprivate parties are to result in a stable price level. mTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZlN#NEWS OF the quadrangles^DIATION ANTIDOTE-The score-a*jd on the search for an antidote to^tion injury:"More than 2,000 chemical compoundsaye been laboratory tested." everal hundred have been found to-M S°me limited protection.^ore than a dozen of these can cutj? lethal effectiveness of radiation incy . ut tneY are drugs such as^anide, whose effects can be as deadlys those of radiation.^ Ahis was the situation outlined byr* John Doull at the winter confer-fince with Industrial Sponsors of theicai1C Research Program in the Phys-j^al Sciences at the University. Dr.°UU is associate professor of phar-acology and assistant director of thea . ' Air Force Radiation Laboratory^ *e University. He is a medical°^tor as well as a pharmacologist.i °me forms of treatment have alsotj ei* tried and proved helpful to vic-J^s of radiation accidents, Dr. Doull^idI a- Among them: bone marrow trans-l^ls> to restore the damaged blood-forming system; and antibiotics, torengthen the body's lowered resist-^e.to infection.^cientists still are searching, how-er> for a drug that will act specificallyqrf1 lnst the effects o£ radiation. The^ alities they are looking for are these:Ce*- better protection than the 50 per*£ effectiveness achieved so far;tak *ess toxicity> so tne drug can ^ei Ken, even in repeated doses, without^ul effects;Wd:°- effectiveness against differents 0f radiation— not only x-rays andS ^ma rays, but also neutron radiation,gainst which present drugs give littlef10 protection; ando{ drugs which are effective when0^ a^ter radiation exposure. So far,dn ProPny^actic administration ofSs has proved successful..Radiation scientists, he pointed out,ba Va% are seeking the answers to twov,Slc problems. One is the question of10 . Precise biochemical or physio-o&cal mechanisms are responsible forj e damaging effects radiation producesa living system. "It is generally as-j ^ed that the process involves theactivation of enzymes, genes, or other target areas," Dr. Doull said, "but itmight also take place through disturbances in the synthesis or assembling ofsubstrates or through the formation oftoxic substances."The second problem is to find waysof preventing radiation injury or oftreating it after it occurs. "The substantial progress of the last decade inthe prophylaxis and therapy of radiation injury encourages the hope thatboth problems can be solved."Although the dozen-odd most effective chemical protective agents againstradiation found so far are too toxic tobe practical as antidotes, he added,they are valuable as tools for continuing radiation research. They are alsobeing used as clues in a concentratedsearch for other anti-radiation drugsamong related chemical compounds.Many of the major protective drugsproduce anoxia or a decrease of oxygen in the tissues. The decrease ofoxygen protects because in the presenceof oxygen biological materials are sensitized to radiation. Since all of themajor radioprotective compounds havea maximum effect corresponding approximately to that produced by anoxia,it has been suggested that their effectiveness in all cases involves the depletion of oxygen in one or more radiation-sensitive areas."This hypothesis provides a satisfactory explanation for many of the radioprotective substances and may at leastpartly account for the protective effectsof all such agents," Dr. Doull said, "butthere is increasing experimental evidence indicating that other mechanismsare involved."One of the other mechanisms maybe involved in the second major groupof radioprotective drugs. These are thesulfhydril derivatives, such as mer-captoethylamine and aminoethyliso-thiourea.' It has been suggested thatthese compounds combine reversiblywith the sulfhydril groups of proteinsand that the mixed disulfides which areformed shield the proteins from bothdirect and indirect radiation effects.GRANT — The University has been awarded a five-year $100,000 grant bythe Burroughs Wellcome Fund to establish a new teaching and researchprogram in clinical pharmacology formedical students and young doctors.The program will go into operationJuly 1, under the direction of Dr.Willard J. Visek, associate professor ofpharmacology. He is a medical doctoras well as a pharmacologist.The new grant to the University isthe third in a series of competitiveawards being given by the BurroughsWellcome Fund to one U. S. medicalschool each year. Five-year grants weregiven previously by the Fund to theUniversity of Virginia School of Medicine and to Emory University School ofMedicine, for teaching and research inclinical pharmacology.Dr. Lloyd J. Roth, chairman of theDepartment of Pharmacology, said,"The program is designed to reinforcethe theoretical training in pharmacologyof the pre-clinical period in medicalschool at a time when the student oryoung doctor has acquired some clinicalexperience."Our aim is to provide him with abetter understanding of the mechanismsby which drugs act, the principles bywhich new drugs are designed, and thetechniques by which drugs are testedin the laboratory and in clinical situations. A constantly increasing number of new and complex drugs is beingdeveloped," Dr. Roth said. "The physician must have a firmer basis onwhich he can make an intelligent judgment of their properties and effects."ORIGINS-What is matter made of?Ultimately, of hydrogen.Where is it all made? In the stars.How are the other elements formed?By the heat of a stellar furnace.What is the process? Eight typesof nuclear reactions build all the knownatomic species.How do we know? By bringing together knowledge of the physics deepwithin the atom and the observationsof stars in many different stages ofevolution, according to Geoffrey Bur-ApRlL, 1962 11bidge, associate professor of astronomyat the University's Yerkes Observatoryat Williams Bay, Wisconsin, and in theEnrico Fermi Institute for NuclearStudies on the campus.Mr. Burbidge and his wife, Margaret,a husband and wife scientific team,have published numerous papers in professional journals on their studies ofthe whirling clusters of stars and gasbeyond our own galaxy, the MilkyWay.Mr. Burbidge gave his summary ofthe formation of elements in stars atthe Denver meeting of the AmericanAssociation for the Advancement ofScience in December.On the origin and evolution of thechemical elements, he said, "Astro-physical observations and experimentsin nuclear physics in the last decadelend increasing support to the idea thatall of the chemical elements have beenbuilt from hydrogen in stars."The basic reason why a theory ofstellar origin appears promising is thatthe changing structure of stars duringtheir evolution offers a succession ofconditions under which many differenttypes of nuclear processes can occur."He listed eight types of nuclear reactions in stars operating in series andin concert, which could result in thesynthesis of all the naturally occurringelements of matter and their isotopes.The eight types of reactions, eachtaking place at a definite stage in thelifetime of a star, fit the changingenergy requirements of the stellar fuelcycle and are intimately related to thelight output of stars."They account reasonably well forwhat we know about the relativeabundance of the various elements inthe crust of the earth, meteorites, thesun and its atmosphere, and the starsand stellar atmospheres," Mr. Burbidgestated.The theory requires that only hydrogen—the lightest, simplest, and mostabundant material of the universe— hasa primeval origin. Hydrogen becomesthe building block from which themore than 1200 atomic species of the92 elements in nature are formed instars and their nearby atmospheres.Mr. Burbidge said the idea of a stellarorigin of the elements is compatiblewith both of the two major theoriesfor the origin of the universe. One, the"big bang" theory, suggests that theuniverse began with an explosive process at a particular instant in time andhas been expanding ever since. Thealternative explanation, a "steady state"theory, holds that: the building of theelements occurred and is continuouslyoccurring in places where the temperature and density are high enough fornuclear reactions and the transmutation12 of one element to another. It suggeststhat the disappearance of matter at theboundary of an expanding universe isbalanced by the continuous creation ofmatter at a uniform rate throughoutspace."In an explosive cosmology combinedwith the stellar synthesis theory, agalaxy would consist at first of purehydrogen, while in the steady-statecosmology it might have a small amountof heavier elements synthesized in otherearlier galaxies. For either model, astime passes, the succeeding generationsof stars should be formed out of interstellar gas and dust containing a successively richer admixture of elementsheavier than hydrogen."Evidence for the progressive enrichment of heavier elements in stars canbe found in our own galaxy, he said. the first professors to be added undean expanded $11 million effort in #*'terials research at the University.

This animosity is especiallyprevalent in England and Scandinavia. One Englishman wrote recently in a letter to the New York Timesexplaining that the feeling of bitterness and enmity isdue "not so much [to] the actual record of Germany'streachery and criminal inhumanity as to the continuingfact that she has shown no true spirit of remorse andrepentance for her appalling misdeeds. On the contrary, in the case of West Germany the very oppositeapplies. She has not only tolerated the reinstatementof erstwhile Nazis ... but has suppressed in the education of her post-war generation the blunt facts concerning Germany's recent history. . . ."Max Beloff, professor of government and public administration at Oxford University, recently wrote: "Ofall the Western countries which took part in the waragainst Hitler, Britain is possibly the one in which thestrongest distrust of German militarism remains un-quenched." Eleanor Roosevelt, expressing the thinkingof many Americans, pointed out, "Granted that as apeople we find the Germans, in their way of life andin their standards of health and cleanliness, nearer toour own concepts . . . but whether the traits that madeNazism possible have been really wiped out may be aQuestion that one should ask" (italics mine).Are these doubts about Germany's repentance andadherence to peace and the ideals of democracy wellfounded, at least as far as the teaching of historyin the high schools in East and West Germany isconcerned?There is no agreement among historians and educators on the influence that history courses and historytextbooks have on students during their impressionablehigh school years. However, it seems reasonable toassume that chauvinistic, biased textbooks, which doviolence to the established rules of historical evidenceand objectivity, do not contribute to the spirit ofinternational amity and co-operation.Immediately after World War I, there was a generalfeeling that history textbooks which were permeatedwith a spirit of extreme nationalism and which propagated national superiority and feelings of disdain orhatred toward other nations should be replaced byfactual and objectively written textbooks that wouldstress the need for international peace and co-operation.In 1926 the League of Nations made attempts to influence its' members to undertake a multilateral revisionof textbooks, but the resolution was never given seriousconsideration by the member states.The first truly earnest effort to eliminate hate anddistorted nationalistic propaganda from history textbooks by an international agreement was made byUNESCO which in 1950 and 1951 sponsored two international seminars, one in Brussels and one in Sevres.These seminars were attended by scholars from manycountries. The revision of textbooks m West Germanywas of special concern to the conferees. A Germaneducator has emphasized the importance of this ask2 T these words: *After the experiences with the totah-arian regime, the striving for truth and tolerance, forhe highest possible degree of scientific objectivity,oecamf a deeply moral problem for German histonans151962and educators. Such a basic change was essential forthe renewal of German democracy. . . ." Some historytextbooks in Western Germany were subsequently revised. No similar attempt was made in East Germany,where the Ministry of Education has proposed a completely new set of textbooks written in strict conformance with the Communist and Soviet interpretation ofworld and of German history.T,HIS review is based on an examination of two setsof four textbooks each. The books — which were published in 1959, 1960 and 1961 — are used in the upperhigh-school grades, one set in East Germany and theother in West Germany.* ... It seems reasonable toassume that history teachers in East Germany basetheir courses, rather rigidly, on the textbooks. Teachersin West Germany are undoubtedly allowed much morefreedom in the use of the textbooks. However, the factthat most states administer uniform examinations invarious subjects does indicate that teachers have tomake extensive use of the textbooks.The history textbooks used in the Federal GermanRepublic have not softened the violent denunciations ofthe Versailles treaty and of the "perfidy" of the UnitedStates, England, and France at the Paris Peace Conference. Nor have the textbooks of West Germany eliminated the personal attacks on Wilson, Lloyd George,and Clemenceau, which were a prominent feature ofhistory textbooks used in the schools of the WeimarRepublic and the Nazi Reich. The Allies are chastisedfor not inviting the Germans to the Peace Conference,and one writer comments that "the negotiators provedvery quickly that there was to be no talk of Wilsonsfourteen points which were to be the basis for thepeace making." Since the German delegates were treatedwith discourtesy and were not given an opportunityto present their views, the treaty became, so says thetextbook, a "Diktatfrieden" — a "dictated peace" — anexpression of contempt that Hitler later was fond ofusing to characterize the Versailles Treaty.One textbook gives two full pages to the provisionsof the treaty as they pertained to Germany and accusesthe Poles and the Czechs of grabbing German territory."Some politicians of the enemy powers," says the book,"took the position that the principle of self-determination of nations did not apply to the Germans. . . . Thusthe Sudeten Germans were expressly denied the right ofself-determination. . . . Within a year, everything German was suppressed in Poland and in Czechoslovakiaand the Germans were restricted in their economic andcultural rights. . . ." The textbook prepares the groundfor future developments by this delphic understate-*The four West German textbooks are: Die Neueste Zeit,Frankfurt am Main, Berlin, Bonn: Verlag Moritz Diesterweg,1961 (fourth edition); Grundriss der Geschichte—V on 1850 biszur Gegenwart, Stuttgart: Ernst Klett Verlag, 1961; Urn Volks-staat und Volkergemeinschaft, Stuttgart: Ernst Klett Verlag, 1961;Deutsche Geschichte im Europaischen Zusammenhang, Frankfurt am Main: Hirschgraben Verlag, 1959. ment: "Subsequently, all this had some seriousconsequences."Another West German textbook presents a more ba *anced view of the causes of the first world war. It stathat the Russian mobilization came "out of fear ot aattack by Germany." The textbook acknowledges tfton the eve of World War I the German militarists too*over the direction of the foreign policy. "The chance -lor," the book states, "subjugated himself to the nimWand demanded from France an assurance of neutralityin the event of a German-Russian war. ... In Gern\aI^the quiet wisdom of statesmanship had capitulatedthe necessities' of the military machine." This textbookwhile condemning the harshness of the VersailieTreaty, avoids demagogic attack on England, Franc ,and the United States and gives a factual account othe Peace Conference and its results. In a paragrapheaded "The Question of War Guilt," the book declares that there are three basic interpretations °^Jrquestion of the responsibility for World War I. °nview declares that the war was caused by Austriaultimatum to Serbia, by German ambitions for conquest, and by the German declaration of war on Russia.Another view "held by all Germans and a substantianumber of foreign scholars" blames the Russian mob11'ization. Still another analysis holds that the war camas a result of the general atmosphere of fear ansuspicion among the European powers and the com-plicated system of treaties and pacts that made wis6statesmanship impossible.The third textbook adopts the German nationalisticview of the war. It blames the war on Russian mobilizetion. It says, "the whole world — also the Russianleaders— knew that the German Reich had to answerwith a declaration of war." General Schlieffen's piarlto destroy the French armies, in a quick war beforeGermany would have to fight Russia, is presented as alogical one. Thus, Germany had to maich throughRelgium. The violation of Belgian neutrality is n0tcondemned as a moral wrong but as a military blunder,because it caused England to declare war on Germany*In keeping with its admiration for Bismarck, the textbook adds, "Bismarck knew this in 1870 and respectedBelgian neutrality."The textbook describes Wilson as a well-meaningidealist who was, unfortunately for him and for Germany, ignorant of the problems of Europe and therefore not a match for Lloyd George and Clemenceau.Consequently, the Fourteen Points were disregardedand a harsh peace was imposed on Germany. Thetextbook does not give Wilson well-deserved creditfor saving Germany from greater dismemberment andharsher reparation terms. The textbook bitterly denounces Clemenceau for his determination to mortallyweaken Germany, and it attacks the Poles and theCzechs for taking over German territory and persecuting German minorities. The general appraisal otthe Versailles Treaty strongly indicates that its authorsmust bear, at least in part, the responsibility for thedestruction of the Weimar Republic and the rise otHitler to power. The book states: "They [the Allies]forced upon Germany a peace by the threat of force,and instead of supporting a democratic way of hfewhich they have repeatedly proclaimed as an objective16 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEin their war propaganda, they made the life and theexistence of the new German state impossible.The picture that the high-school student in West Germany gets from the history textbooks of the efforts otthe Weimar Republic to secure its existence, as a democratic state against the overt and covert attempts ot tneCommunists and right-wingers to subvert it, is ne™enlightening nor accurate. The Weimar Constitutionwhich for the first time in German history guaranteeddemocratic rights and freedom to all German citizensis criticized because it provided for a federal union ofstates. Thus, says one textbook, "the wishes of manyfor one Reich were not fulfilled." The blame for thepolitical instability of the Weimar Republic is laid onthe multiplicity of parties, on the cumbersome procedures of the system of parliamentary democracy butmost of all on the German Communists who with tnehelp of radical independents undertook many attemptsto overthrow the republic and to institute a Sovietsystem."Unemployment, the devaluation of the currency, andthe other economic ills that afflicted the Weimar Re-Public (and many other European nations as well asthe United States) are explained in this chapter heading: "The Victory Policy of the Allies Prevents theEconomic Recovery of Germany." One textbook justifies the rightist "Kapp-Putsch" of 1920, the murder ofthe Germfn Forei|f Minister Walther Rathenau in1922, and the anti republican activities of the right-wing revolutionaries by "the national feeling of insultand injury stemming from the provisions of th ^Versailles Treaty." The authors pay fulsome praise to theReichswehTfor putting down the Communist uprisingsin Saxony and Thuringia in 1923.The German Communists were *« °'**Weimar Republic and therefore fust share the r^ponsibility for its destruction and foi Hitlers coming topow'er.

But Shirer put the largest share of the blame for thefall of the Weimar Republic and for Hitler's seizure ofpower on the conservatives and the militarists. It isShirer's well-documented position that "the Republichad treated the Right both as individuals and as classeswith the utmost generosity. . . . It had . . . allowed theArmy to maintain a state within a state, the businessmen and bankers to make large profits, the Junkers tokeep their uneconomic estates by means of governmentloans Yet this generosity had won neither the gratitudenor the loyalty to the Republic. With narrowness,prejudice, blindness which in retrospect seems inconceivable to this chronicler, they hammered away at thefoundations of the Republic until, in alliance withHitler they brought it down." This factual and objective analysis of a decisive period in German history iscompletely missing in the history textbooks now in usein the West German schools.II N West German textbooks, the description of Hitlerscoming to power is treated with remarkable coolnessThere is no indication of surprise or indignation at theease with which this maniacal leader seized power with^proval of President Hindenburg , and *e Rei£-staff Among the main reasons cited for Hitlers successare oncTalain, the iniquities of the Versailles Treaty,tne reparations the refusal of the Allies to grant Germany the right to re-arm, the growing unemploymentand most of all the fear of the German £$***Communist takeover. One textbook castigates the SocialDemocrats (S.P.D.) for withholding to* ^uppor romChancellors Papen and Schleicher "The S.P.IX di I nounderstand," the textbook says, "that Hitler stoodngrtbehind the door." Another textbook oversimplifies thesituation in Germany in 1932-33 by stating, NationdSocialists and Communists fought [Bruenmgs] austerityprogram. Both parties hoped that the complete pauperization of the people would give them the victory andallow them to take over the rule in£ Germany. Hitleris pictured as a shrewd exploiter of the follies of thepohcies pursued by France, England and in a lesserLasureV the United States, ^d the long-suff ermgGerman people. "Most Germans followed him saysone textbook, "because he was successful in takingbold measures to put an end to the menace of communism, to the enormous unemployment, and to theTke of the Versailles Treaty." There is no statemenon the cost in liberty, blood, tears, and tr easure_ thathad to be paid for these achievements of Hitlersregime. How, in view of this analysis the young Ger-mfn student is to comprehend the folly of the ^Germanpeople which so easily permitted the establishment ofdie Nazi dictatorship is indeed difficult to understand.Of the four textbooks in use in the Federal GermanRenublic only one contains a statement on Hitler asfoSight as the following: "That Hitler brought Germany to the greatest catastrophe of its history, thathe has committed horrible crimes and that he hasgravely lowered the dignity and the reputation of theGerman name in the world, is known today by everyone." But this impressive statement is weakened lmme-17APRIL, 1962diately by the added explanation that in 1933 "mostpeople in Germany and abroad knew little aboutHitler."arNE would have preferred to be able to state thatthe West German textbooks treat the shameful recordof Nazi brutality and murder in a reasonably objectivemanner. One would have liked to be able to say thatthe suspicions, voiced in England and in other WesternEuropean countries, that the Germans, East and West,have failed to comprehend the magnitude of their collective guilt are groundless as far as high-school textbooks are concerned. Unfortunately, such reassurancecannot be given.On the whole, the textbooks in the Federal GermanRepublic handle the story of this mass murder, whichassumed the proportions of genocide, in a detachedand restrained manner. Hitler, the reader is told,declared the Jews to be "enemy number one" of theGerman people. Then follows a description of theso-called Reichskristalnacht in November, 1938, a nightof terror during which two hundred synagoguesthroughout Germany were put to the torch, about ahundred Jews were murdered, and twenty thousandimprisoned. Only one of the four textbooks examinedcontains an express condemnation of Hitler's racialtheories and his crimes against the Jews : "These insaneideas about race and 'world Jewry' were the cause ofall the terrible crimes committed against the Jews,after his coming to power." All the West German textbooks unlike those from East Germany, describe indetail the Nazi persecution of Catholics and Protestantsand the jailing of clergymen suspected of disloyalty tothe Third Reich.The steps taken by Hitler between 1939 and 1942to exterminate the Jews of Europe are described inthree of the West German textbooks examined. Oneomits any condemnation or expression of remorse. Thetextbooks describe the murder of six million Jews(although two textbooks indicate that the total wasprobably "only 4H million" ) in the concentration campsof Auschwitz, Treblinka, and Maidenek. One booksummarizes this chapter in these words: "Whetherfurther studies will arrive at different totals [of theJews murdered] is difficult to say. ... It remains afearfully high number of victims. These murders ofhelpless people will always remain a source of shameas will the participation of those who knew somethingor suspected something of these happenings."All the textbooks take great pains to emphasize thatthe overwhelming majority of the German people knewnothing or next to nothing of these crimes. "Theseextermination actions," says one textbook, "were carefully hidden from the German people." Another states"This extermination activity was very ably kept secret'so that the greater portion of the German people learnedof it only after the war." Still another maintains that"this terrible work of extermination was carefully concealed by the Nazis from their own people."Neither the West nor the East German textbooksmention the facts fully documented by Justice Jackson the chief American prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trialand by William Shirer that there was "lively competitionamong German businessmen to procure orders forbuilding these death and disposal contraptions andfurnishing the lethal crystals"; that thousands of engineers and technicians and many, many thousands otskilled workers were employed at the thirty-odd extermination camps; and that many hundreds of Germandoctors conducted shocking experiments on the victims.The West German textbooks make no reference to theI. G. Farben industry, which knowingly used hundredsof thousands of concentration and extermination inmatesin its factories under inhuman conditions. The EastGerman textbooks devote a great deal of space to thecruel and inhuman treatment of millions of Russianprisoners at the hands of the Germans and describethe heroic last stand of the Warsaw Ghetto and themassacre on June 9, 1942, of the entire population otthe Czech village Lidice. Unlike the Communist textbooks, the West German textbooks pay little or n°attention to these events. It is significant and olS'tressing that the words Coventry (the English townwhich was largely destroyed by the Luftwaffe) andLidice do not appear in the indexes of the West Germantextbooks. It is strange indeed that the education authorities in Free Germany would wish to hide from theGerman youth these two names which have becomeworld-wide symbols of Nazi crimes and barbarity.However, the West German textbooks do not fadto condemn the American and British air forces f°r'atrocities" committed against the German civilian population. While the Luftwaffe s indiscriminate bombingraids on Rotterdam, London, Coventry, and oth&British cities are generally glossed over, the textbooksare bitter about the Allied air strikes against Germany-Here is a sample of this indignation: "From the endot 1942, the English and later the Americans madegreat air attacks on the Reich bringing death anddestruction. Ever greater was the number and theradius of operations and the extent of destruction otthe Anglo-Saxon bombers. They directed their attacksnot only against war industries and against transportation centers, but also destroyed millions of dwelling*killed hundreds of thousands of people, and put &ruins churches, research and education centers, librariesand museums with priceless paintings. Finally, even thepeasant in the fields and the pedestrian on the streetswere not safe."This eloquent solicitude for human lives and i°xlibraries and paintings would be much more touchingand much more convincing if the textbook had beenas eloquent and as indignant about the destructionrained on London and Warsaw by the German bombers,the strafing of fleeing civilians by Stuka diving aircraftand other outrages committed by the Nazis. There isenough evidence to indicate that the Anglo-Americanair strikes caused the first serious doubts in the mindsot the German people, who up to that time had givenHitler their overwhelming support.Shirer puts it this way: "The greatest damage inflicted by the Anglo-American air forces as Goebbelsmakes clear in his diary, was to the homes and theCONTINUED ON PAGE 218 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINENEWS OF the alumniEARL d.

In the first war yearsJ*y had been buoyed up, as this writer remembersby the lurid reports of what Luftwaffe bombing hadd°ne to the enemy, especially to the British" (italicsP^e). Now, finally, the Germans experienced thehorror of indiscriminate bombings, and their blind faiththat "everything succeeds with the Fuhrer" began toWeaken. *Hugh Seton-Watson writes: "The Nazi party hadconsiderable support among all classes of the popula-tion--among the workers . . . among the peasants . . .among the middle classes . . . [and] among big businessmen . . . Hitler appealed to the nationalism that^as strong in all classes, the desire for revenge againstGermany's military victors of 1918 and for the restoration of Germany's former military power." Seton-Watson, an acknowledged authority on internationalc°rnmunism, adds that the attempt to justify the riseof Hitler by the danger of a Communist revolution can-not be supported by historical evidence. "There hadnever been," he writes, "the slightest chance that theCommunists would ever get power in Germany."XA HE West German textbooks adopt a cool tone whenJey are discussing the causes of World War II. TheyJscribe, with obvious approval, the militarization ofthe Rhineland, the pro-German Saar plebiscite, Hitler sfePs to throw off the restrictions on the German airt0rce and navy, decreed by the Versailles Treaty. The??nexation of Austria is also treated with sympathy.*he fact is cited tnat 99 per cent of the Austrians votedtor the Anschluss, but the textbook that makes thisc°mrnent fails to point out that the "election" tookPlftce under the control of the German army and theJ*°rni troops. The ease with which Hitler conqueredCzechoslovakia is explained by the fact that "somePoliticians in England were convinced for a long time*nat a mistake was made in 1919 when three millionJ^deten Germans were left under Czech rule." AnotherJ^tbook blames Chamberlain for the invasion ofCzechoslovakia by claiming that his policy of appeasement weakened the forces opposing Hitler within Ger-niany. This textbook asserts, without supplying anyevidence, that "German diplomats repeatedly warnedChamberlain not to submit to Hitler's threats and had^r.ged him to make clear to Hitler that England would£«e up arms in case of another German aggression.' he textbook does not admit that the majority of Ger-"?a«s gave their enthusiastic support to Hitler's aggres-*'°«s on Austria and Czechoslovakia. Shirer writes, No°°e who lived in Germany in the days after Munich,*s this writer did, can forget the rapture of the GermanPeople." 6, hitler is condemned for his pact with Stalin, not°ecause of the basically immoral nature of this agree-?**. but because "his [Hitler's] short-sighted game,Jnich he thought would benefit him at the time, made"•Possible for the Soviet Union to penetrate into theMiddle of Germany."«J line with the assertions made in the memoirsPublished by a number of German generals and ad-**»** 1Q62 mirals, the textbooks put the blame for Germany'sdefeat on Hitler's vanity and stubbornness and on hisunwillingness to listen to the sound advice of his generals. The textbooks state that Hitler's decision toattack and later to invade England resulted fromChurchill's refusal to sign a peace treaty with Hitler—a treaty of peace fondly desired by Hitler. The textbook fails to spell out what "peace terms" Hitler wasready to offer England in 1940. It states: "Embitteredbecause Churchill refused to make peace and angeredby English attacks on German cities, Hitler ordered theisland devastated by increased air strikes" (italicsmine). Another book asserts: "As Hitler's hope for apeace with England was destroyed, he orderedpreparations for a landing of German troops in England . •" Thus the London blitz and the plans tosubjugate England are made to appear not as resultsof Hitler's determination to rule the world, but asconsequences of Churchill's refusal to conclude a peacewith Hitler, obviously over the corpses of Poland,Czechoslovakia, France, Denmark, Norway, and othercountries.But Churchill is not the only Western villain presented to German students. American Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman and GeneralDwight D. Eisenhower do not fare much better m theWest German textbooks. Roosevelt's failings and blunders, they assert, were many. First, he is chided forbringing the United States into the war against the"opposition of his countrymen to the intervention.Second Roosevelt is blamed for overcoming Churchill sobjections and ordering a second front on the coastof France The textbooks picture Churchill as fullyaware of the danger of allowing the Soviet Army topenetrate into Central Europe while "Roosevelt, on theother hand, cared only to defeat Hitler whom he regarded as the worst enemy of democracy He completely shut his mind to the dangers of bolshevikRussia." (Third, Roosevelt is denounced as the sole author otthe policy of "unconditional surrender." One textbookstate!: "In January, 1943, Roosevelt issued a declarationat the Casablanca Conference which had some veryundesirable consequences. He announced to a pressconference his wilfull demand for an unconditionalcapitulation.' In spite of all the arguments against itContinued to hold fast to this stand He overlookedthat this policy strengthened the will of his opponents,pro onged the war, caused more casualties, and {finallyfreatly benefited Stalin" (italics mine). To hold President Roosevelt personally responsible for the policyof unconditional surrender, a policy that had the overwhelming endorsement of Congress of the AmericanmSy leaders, of Churchill and the British government, and of the Allies, is an obvious distortion ofhistory. , „ . iFinally, Roosevelt, Truman, and Eisenhower are described as incredibly naive in their deahngs with theRussians and, in fact, guilty, in a f^^^^the loss of the German lands east of the Oder-Neisseme and for the division of Germany "Roosevet be-eved together with Eisenhower, in the possibility ofp Sul ^existence with the Soviet Unio. Trumanis held responsible for the loss of the East German23territories because he signed the Potsdam agreement,which provided for the peaceful transfer of Germansfrom Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia. The WestGerman textbooks bitterly denounce the MorgenthauPlan for the perpetual demilitarization of Germany andexaggerate its importance in the Allied planning. Onceagain, Roosevelt is made the target of the attack:"This [Morgenthau's plan] would have meant a verdictof death for every other person in Germany. Only withgreat effort Roosevelt was influenced, one year later,to withdraw his signature from the document." TheYalta Conference is pictured as a sad and tragic surrender of a sick Roosevelt, who was no match for thewily Stalin.The West German textbooks are eloquently bitterabout the expulsion of Germans from East Prussia andSilesia, admittedly a cruel and tragic affair. However,the textbooks fail to note that these expulsions werethe direct result of the crimes committed by the German armies and the German storm troops against thepeoples of Poland, Russia, and Czechoslovakia. Onetextbook states: "Unheard of [sic!] was the misery ofthe refugees from East Germany. . . . Thousands diedfrom freezing, hunger, and thirst and from exertion.Others bled to death from the strafmgs of Russianplanes."Another textbook is outspoken in charging the UnitedStates and England with responsibility for the tragicfate of the expelled Germans. The book puts thematter rather bluntly: "The effect of America's andEngland's agreement to Article XIII of the Potsdamprotocol was frightful because it resulted in the massexpulsion of the Germans, conducted with such brutality as the world has never seen." The textbooks clearlyimply that the Oder-Neisse line is an illegal boundaryand that the millions of German refugees now in WestGermany expect eventually to return to their formerhomes.TX HE textbooks of West Germany are unanimous intheir highly critical appraisal of the Nuremberg Trial.They consider the trial faulty in many respects. It isof interest that on this question, as well as on Roosevelt's and Truman's attitude and dealings with theSoviets and on the Yalta and Potsdam conferences, theWest German textbooks have embraced the views ofthe extreme right wing in the United States. TheNuremberg Trial, say the textbooks, was illegal becauseit was arranged without precedent in international lawand violated the ex post facto principle. One textbookstates: "In the following years, many misgivings wereexpressed about the Nuremberg Trial . . . namely, thatthe prosecutors and the judges were from the victoriouspowers, without the participation of neutral jurists.Also, the trial declared as crimes deeds which werenot forbidden by international law." Another textbookcomplains that the evidence against the accused wasmeager and that the efforts of the defense were hampered. The sharpest criticism concerns the participationof Soviet judges on the Nuremberg tribunal. "In addition," says one book, "at least one of the accusing nations, namely the Russians, were guilty of the samecrimes as those committed by the accused at the Nuremberg trial." Not one of the textbooks deems itnecessary to tell the young Germans that, in spite ofisolated voices of criticism, public opinion in the alliedcountries and the governments of those countries havegenerally approved the procedure as well as the resultsof the trial.What of the future as reflected in both sets oftextbooks? On one point the West and the EastGerman textbooks agree— that is, the need for, and thecertainty of, the reunification of Germany. The WestGerman textbooks envision reunification by the dissolution of the East German Communist regime and theincorporation of East Germany into the Federal Republic of Germany. The East German textbooks foreseeunification when West Germany becomes "a democratic, freedom-loving and anti-imperialist state." Democratic, of course, means Communist, and anti-imperialistmeans anti- American.One West German textbook sees poor prospects forGerman unification, because "in essence, the SovietUnion and the Western powers are united in theirdetermination not to allow Germany an opportunity to-become the balance of power between East and West."The passion with which the West German textbookscall for reunification and the restoration of one Reich,while understandable, is disturbing, if not frightening.The tone is stringent and even arrogant. "The Westernpowers obliged themselves in their pact with theFederal Republic to work for the peaceful reunificationof Germany; but above all else, reunification must bethe goal and objective of all Germans. Toward thisgoal, every German must work in all manner, everyhour. They must not allow any disappointments todistract them from this goal, so that the great powerswill finally be obliged to give in to this natural andfully justified demand."A noted West German educator recently wrote:"The educational situation in Western Germany is stillcharacterized by the fact that the occupation powersand the German authorities after 1945 failed in building up a modern democratic educational system. Instead, the school organizations and legislation existingin the various German states before the Nazi regimewere re-established."Even if due allowance is made for the usual nationalistic tendencies in history textbooks, most West Germantextbooks often present a biased and distorted pictureof German and European history. It seems clear thatthe textbooks reflect views and attitudes, especially asrelated to the record of the Hitler regime and theappraisal of the policies of the United States vis-a-visGermany, that are clearly at variance with the viewsof Chancellor Adenauer, President Luebke, MayorBrandt, and many other West German leaders andscholars. It may well be that the process of revisionof textbooks which is always a slow and painful one,has not yet caught up with the evolving spirit ofEuropean solidarity and alliance with the United States,which constitute the cardinal principles of the foreignpolicy of the West German Federal Republic. If thisis the case, one would hope that revision will comevery soon. •24 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEand community affairs.
