Compton Stresses Lack Of Purpose
By JANET OGAN and PAT JANSEN
Lack of purpose is the most critical danger facing Americans today. Dr. Arthur Holly Compton, chancellor of Washington university St Louis, Mo., told those present at the all-student convocation today
The address opened Religious Emphasis week which features seven prominent speakers.
"Where there is no vision," Dr. Simpton said, "the people perish." We must keep before us a goal that will lead us to renewed vitality.
"We have in America a traditional goal so challenging that it can inspire our citizens to solve the problem of survival, and thereby set a pattern for the world. Emphasis on the worth of the individual has always been the central theme of the American creed," he said.
“This concept is derived from the idea that we are all sons and daughters of God,” Dr. Compton said. “We value the lives of men and women because they are of value to God,” he pointed out. “How then, he asked, can be better express our loyalty to God than to work for the welfare of the people around us? People of value in the eyes of God,” Dr. Compton believes, “become of value to us.”
To build an enduring society of worthy persons is the great human goal. The chancellor pointed out that through education in a democracy, the student should be given an abundant life to develop his full worth. The intent of education is to give him an understanding of his world, an inspiration to serve his fellows in the way that seems to him most effective, and the skills needed to do that service well.
British Cabinet May Split Party
London, Feb. 27 — (U.R.)— Prime Minister Clement Aillett faced the prospect of a split among his top Labor party leaders today as he attempted to form a new cabinet to present to King George VI.
Mr. Attlee will call upon the king today or tomorrow to present his cabinet and explain the policies of his new Socialist government, which will have only a fingernail grip on the House of Commons.
Observers said no great changes were expected in prime minister Attlee's cabinet but the matter of labor government policy was something else. The party leaders, divided among themselves, must agree on what to do with their nationalization program.
If the Laborites had won the election with a safe Commons majority they would have been able to press forward with their nationalization program. This included sugar, cement, water and the wholesale distribution of meat. There also would have been no obstacle in the nationalization of steel, which has been passed into law to become effective Oct. 1.
One group in the Prime Minister's cabinet, headed by Health Minister Aneurin Bevan, favor a bold challenge which would force the issue of nationalization in parliament and lead to a new general election within a few months.
A second group, counsems caution, is in favor of abandoning the more controversial parts of the nationalization program. The Conservative party headed by Winston Churchill is strongly opposed to steel nationalization and might try to force repeal of the Bill as well as halt other parts of the program.
