Ri*bt and Might *ln accepting the Socialist par ty's nomination for President (the .-ixth time), Norman Thom as says that America mast ac cept universal disarmament as _the one hope of peace and “then plant in the world the idea which no dictator can ignore or crush.” The notion that an idea can not be crushed is cherished by many good people. You can crush men and women and things, they say, but you can not crush an idea. Well, maybe bo, if time is reckoned in terms of eons and eternity. Maybe a noble idea that appears to ha\e been destroyed will be brought to life again by some divine ma gic or by the gradual improve ment of man’s nature. Mr. Thofn as envisions “an idea which no dictator can ignore or crush.” The trouble is that if a dictator is powerful enough he can crush the people who hold the idea, and this amounts to the same thing as crushing the idea; that is, throughout the area- ruled by the dictators and for the du ration of his rule, and that of succeeding dictators. The fur ther he extends his sway, the more he succeeds in crushing the idea by crushing the people who hold it; by means of con centration camps, or Siberia, or firing squads, or gassing, or gib bets, or by combination of these and other processes of liquida tion. Jf Hitler had carried out his purpose of world domination he would have crushed the idea of freedom insofar as this idea had any actual connection with human affairs; nobody knows how long it would have stayed crushed, but certainly long enough to keep many living peo ple from ever seeing it flourish again. Millions of people in the na tions where freedom still pre vail,- have come to the reali/ut tion—either by reasoning it out, or by instinct of self-preserva tion—that it i.- not safe to rest upon the assurance that an idea cannot be crushed. if they believed this to Is- true, foi* the long run, they would not be wil ling to be crushed, themselves, in order that their descendants, several generations in the fu ture, could enjoy a revived free dom. Primarily, these living men and women want protec tion for themselves and their children rather than for a re mote posterity. That is why an overwhelm ing public opinion in the Unit-; ed States demands that, at the same time that efforts are made to promote friendship with other nations, our own nation shall remain well armed. In a speech in Minnesota forty-seven years ago Theodore Roosevelt said: “There is a homely adage which runs, j *Speak softly and carry a big etick; you will go far.’ If the American nation will speak soft ly and yet build and keep at a pitch of the highest training a thoroughly efficient navy, the Monroe Doctrine will go far/’ The phrase, “Speak softly and carry a big stick, M may not sound pretty to some people, but it is good sense. It describes in a rough-and-ready way what the great majority of the American people think is the best policy for tbeir government to follow. It is not inconsistent with any of the objectives of the United Na tions and-it, does not run coun ter to proposals for an interna tional organization stronger that that set up by the UN char ter. Indeed, a policy that pro vides for adequate armed pro tection for the United States is the very soundest base upon which to build international ac-' cord. The voice of a strong na tion is certainly more likely to be listened to with respect than the voice of a weak one. Might does not make right, but in the present world situation right, stands a dangerous chance of being trampled upon if it is not backed by might. Speeding on Narrow Streets If a policeman should visit Battle lane, where I live, I doubt if he would have to wait three minutes, at any time of any day of the week, to see a violation of the speed limit. It is a narrow street, and often, along the first block off Franklin, cars are parked on both sides, leaving only one 'lane open for traffic. This is a con dition that calls for special care in ‘driving, yet constantly cars roaring through the nar row passageway at dangerous spee?J. My newspaper office is on Rosemary, another narrow street, and there too, day in and day out, I see dangerous speed ing. It is made the more danger ous because parked cars block the view of persons coming out of the printshop yard and out of the driveways of homes along the block. 1 mention these two places be eatise l happen to be must fa miliar with them. But the same recklessness is to be seen all through the village. We have only two thorough fares that are broad by modern standards, Franklin street and Cameron avenue. The others served well enough for the few j vehicles passing in the old days, but today they are definitely to be classed as narrow. Parking takes out of use for moving traf fic one third of the space from curb to curb, and this has the effect of making the streets still narrower. It ought to have the effect of making drivers special ly careful, but it doesn’t. Speeding is bad anywhere, but it is particularly bad on nar row streets. Girl Scouts Hold Hally The Girl Scouts of Chapel Hill will hold a rally" at 4:30 tomor row (Saturday), afternoon in the Methodist church. Short skits will be given, and the results of the year’s scouting activities will be on display, Scout badges will Is- presented at a Court of Awards, and there will lx? a cere mony for the “fly-up” (oldest) troop of Brownies. All parents, council members, scout advisors, and friends are invited, and are reminded to bring a "nose-bag" supper. Miss Yodng’s 3rd Scholarship Miss Ruth Young, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Young of North street, has been grant ;ed a scholarship for her junior year at Bryn Mawr College. She held the college’s Southern regional scholarship in her freshman year, and also won a scholarship for her sophomore year, which ends next month. Professors’ Aas’n Meeting A meeting of the U.N.C.

The 'business wiljf include (1) the adoption of the Chapter Constitution, (2) the report of the committee on University fi nances, and (3) the report of the committee on salary policies. THE CHAPEL HICL WEEKLY Tawney, Distinguished British Scholar, to Deliver the Weil Lectures May 24, 25, 26 Richard Henrt Tawney, well-known British lecturer and author and professor of-economic history in the University (s?" London, will deliver the 1948 series of Weil Lectures in Gerrard hall at 8:30 on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings, May 24, 25 and 26. The general subject will be “Social Democracy in England.” The first lecture will be on “The English Approach to Socialism,” the second on “Policies and Methods,” and the third on “The Prospect for the Future.” The Weil Lectures on American Citizenship were inaugurated in 1914 with the former President and future Chief Justice of the United States, Wiiiiam Howard Taft, as the lecturer. They were established on a permanent foundation through the gener osity of the families of Sol Weil and Henry Weil of Goldsboro.

Smith, Herbert Agar, Dorothy Thompson, Clarence Dykstra and Walton Hamilton, Mr. Tawney will be the second British citizen and University of London professor to deliver the Weil Lectures.
