Justice Harlan Has Message For Nation
By LUKE GREENE, ■ 1
(Editorial in Tho Atlanta Time*) ■
Justices of the United States Supreme Court don’t appear much in the
public forums of this country. They seem to do most of their speaking
through their decisions, and a great many people think that too many Of
these run counter to sound judicial precedent. who
So it was refreshing to read that Justice jJohn Marshall Harlan,
ao often finds himself in a minority position on the court, had delivered a
speech in New York.
The occasion was the opening of a Bill of Rights room in the old «»b
treasury building, down among the skyscrapers of Wall, Nassau and Broad
streets. It was on this site that George Washington was inaugurated as
president and the Supreme Court was organized. conscious¬
What he said on this hallowed ground ought to seep into the
ness of every American.
He warned against “eroding” the historic division of authority between
(he states and the federal government. of liberty
The framers of the U. S. Constitution “found the true essence
in the structure of government — a federal system with separate state sad
federal powers,” he pointed out. that tha
Justice Harlan is perhaps the leading exponent of the view
Supreme Court should be slow to impose new constitutional restraints on
the states.
Yet this is not the way the tide has been moving in this country over
the past few years. Why is that the case?
It’s due partially to the fact that people seem too busy and unconcerned
to become involved in matters that really count.
Talking about this reminds me that two or three weeks ago, U. S. News
and World Report, carried an interview with Adm. Arliegb A. Burke, who
served an unprecedented three terms as Chief of Naval Operations. The
chat with Adm. Burke came before the sudden recent explosion in Viet Nam.
He was attempting to put his finger on where America is weakest,
and he concluded that the trouble centered basically around the attitude
of people. in the world, and the
Even though we are the most powerful country something
most productive and have the highest standard of living, there is

“We seem to have an attitude that we to

compete. only internationally,
“This is exemplified in a great many ways not
but internally. In New York a while back, 38 people could hear a woman
being murdered. It took a long time to commit this murder. But the people
did nothing to help the woman being attacked. They didn’t want to become

become involved.
“A woman is attacked on a New York ferry — and people don’t want
to become involved. They won’t even act as witnesses to identify the
attacker. Why? Not necessarily because of fear. It just seems that getting
involved is not the thing to do anymore.” manifest¬
This same attitude, he pointed out, also has international
ations. We don’t want to stand up for our convictions. In fact, we don’t
even want to have very strong convictions.
And the trouble with sudh a view is that letting things go, or being
unwilling to face a problem, permits that problem to get worse — and
the next thing you know you’re confronted with a full-fledged crisis. And
to get out of it then is more difficult than it has ever been before.
How does this relate to Justice Harlan and his speech in New York?
I If enough people are willing to become involved, and speak out for
the kind of solid judicial philosophy he represents, they can return their
government to the sound principles on which it was built
But if they are content to coast along, oblivious to time and the reso¬
lute forces that are at work to reshape our system of government, then
they can look for a greatly magnified crisis later.
The nation should be hearing more from authorities like Justice Harlan.
Let Them Be Armed . • •
It won’t be long now until the school bells — figuratively, if not al¬
ways literally — ring again. And millions of youngsters, some eagerly 1 , some
with lagging feet, will resume their educations after summers which one
hopes were filled with events and adventures that will be long remembered.
In recent years there has been a vast literature on the subject of
American education. It lhas been compared, favorably and unfavorably,
with that of other nations, notably England and Russia. Each of these
differing systems, it seems, has its own particular goal and principles,
and each has its advantages and disadvantages. But, here at home, there
is a strong and growing feeling that American eduction in all its levels
too ___often leaves out an essential. That essential is the inculcation of a real
knowledge of what free and representative government stands for and
requires of its citizens and, with that, a realization of what this means to
every facet of life — business, the professions, the arts and crafts.
Our young people are growing up into a world torn with bitterly op
poed ideologies. In this, the battle for men’s minds is all important.
It’s outcome, will determine what the world of is to be.
Let those young people be aimed with the truths they will need, j
