PORUM SPEAKERS
DISCUSS METHOD
OF GOVERNMENT
lecturers State Salvation Lies
In "Long Range Planning'
And Partial Socialism
At the first lecture of a series
sponsored by the Open Forum
Discussion Group, Dr. Broadus
Mitchell of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity stated that the salvation
of the .country lies in a partial
acceptance of the principles of
the Socialist party, while Dr.
Justin Miller of the Duke Uni
versity school of law pointed out
the need for intelligent leader
ship. The subject for discussion
-was "The American Scene:
1932." ,
Dr. Mitchell, the first speaker,
stated that we are- confronted
with "poverty in the midst of
plenty." To meet this problem,
we must take a definite program
of social control. We must re
peal the anti-trust acts and have
government ownership of public
utilities. Goods must 'be man
aged for use and not for profit.
Dr. Miller asserted that the
solution for governmental prob
lems lies not in long range plan
ning but in intelligent handling
of the problems confronting us.
It is much easier to establish a
long range idealistic theory than
it is to work out the problems
confronting us, he observed. In
Miller's opinion, socialism is not
practical because long range
planning would probably be cut
-"short at the next election. It is
necessary to educate the people
until their feeling toward future
planning is almost a religious
dogma. It is a noteworthy fact
that every time a radical party
comes into power, the govern
ment becomes conservative. Mil
ler further stated that the spade
work for successful government
must originate in the universi

PRESS RELEASES
NEW VOLUME OF
SOCIAL PROBLEMS
J. M. Williams Asserts That Civiliza
tion Has Reached Chaos in Un
employment Conditions.
The University of North Caro
lina Press announces the publi
cation of Human Aspects of Un
employment and Relief by J. M.
Williams. The volume, which
was released January 11, deals
with contemporary sociological
problems.
The author traces the currents
of human wreckage to the hospi
tal, the court, and the desolate
life of the street and back room
He uses for examples true cases
of the people today and several
times uses a case which happen
ed in Orange county. In the
opening scene he pictures a home
from which the father has been
to jail for theft in his efforts to
feed his family. The family was
not notified.
Williams asserts in his book
that our civilization is no longer
drifting toward chaos, but has
already arrived. Relations of
lives of families affording only
one meal a day substantiate Wil
liams' statement.

Johns Hopkins Economist Demands
Parts For Advisers In Government
Dr. Broadus Mitchell States That Expert Economists and Political
Scientists Should Leave Classroom to Advise Office Holders,
Politicians, and Voters for Better Government.

"If the professors have noth
ing to profess to the general
public, then let them get out."
This ringing challenge to eco

from Dr. Broadus Mitchell, pro
fessor of political economy at
the Johns Hopkins University in
an interview with a representa
tive of the Daily Tar Heel
Thursday evening.
Economists, statisticians, and
engineers, according to Dr.
Mitchell, should be as much con
cerned with the development of
current affairs as with dispen
sing text-book material to col-
ege students. It is time, he be
ieves, for them to come out of
the classroom and play a vital
role in forming sound opinion on
important issues. The profes
sor who overlooks his sociolog

cator. .

Dr. Mitchell cited the recent
open letter to . rresiaent-eiect
Roosevelt from twenty leading
economists as an example of
what the scholars should be do

also signed by Dr. Claudius T.

eminent economist, "to serve the
public as never before. If the
experts do not lead the way, to
whom shall the rank and file
turn for advice and counsel? In
regarding our economic system,
it is the more important that the
trained minds have the proper
influence in affecting the voters
and lawmakers."
To achieve what he demands
of the professors, Dr. Mitchell
would have them participate in
lectures, such as he himself is
now doing, make direct sugges
tions to legislators and execut
ives, and use every possible
means of reaching those whose
shaped opinion results in the
formation of the economic policy
of the nation. Consolidated eco
nomic councils, similar to those
now in existence in several Eu
ropean nations, do not meet with
his approval.
Direct Methods Needed
"We do not want a mere ad
visory committee to a govern
ment which will submit plans
that will never be acted upon,"
he explained. "It is rather the
direct appeal, the molding of
definite mass viewpoints on eco
nomic matters by diffusing ex
pert information that will prove
valuable."
Individual advice to govern
ment is considerably more ac
ceptable to Dr. , Mitchell. He

CHAPEL LECTURER
BRANDS CRITICISM
AS UNWARRANTED
Mitchell Says Criticism of Liberality
At University by People With "an,
, Unfortunate Social History." .
Dr. Broadus Mitchell of the
Johns Hopkins University, who
lectured Thursday night in Ger
rard hall, remained at Chapel
Hill in order to address the
freshmen and sophomores at as
sembly yesterday.
Dr. Mitchell brought out the
fact that while many large uni
versities have no connections
with the town or city in which
they are situated, we at Chapel
Hill have to cooperate in every
way with our town. He showed
that because the University is
so liberal it brings upon itself
criticism from all parts of the
state by people who as Dr.
Mitchell said, ""have had an un
fortunate social history." He
thought that these people would
not criticize so much if they
knew the esteem with which the
University is held elsewhere in
the country;
The principle technique of
this University, according to Dr.
Mitchell,: is to preserve the bal
ance between scholarship, cour
