But once in a while somebody with a sense of reality and faith in the stuff that built America will shake himself free from the present welter of moral obfuscation and take a swing for the jaw. It happened not so many days ago. Earl J. McGrath, Commissioner of Education at ' Washington, circularized American colleges and universities appealing for publicity on a Declaration of Human Right. It reached the wrong man, or we should say the right man, when Harvie Branscomb, chancellor of Vanderbilt university, received his copy. The Tennesseans reply merits at least a footnote in American political and social hstory. Wrote Mr. Branscomb to McGrath : "I have your form letter asking that toe publi- - ctze as much as possible the Declaration of Human . with much interest. I preRights. 1 read it sume you are merely carrying out the responsibilities of your office in pushing this declaration. May I say, however, that this declaration is an immoral document. It lists six pages of rights for everyone with only a brief, vague, and almost apologetic reference at its close to duties to the community. The demand for hrights, however, is detailed, specific, and extensive. Article 25. for exstandample reads: Everyone has the right to awell-beiard of living adequate for the health and of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing, medical care, and necessary social services, and the right to security .' All of thie unthout the slightest reference to any obligation Thursday, May 31 , 1951 SUN-ADVOCA- THOSE WERE THE DAYS .. BY THOSE I WERE ng involved. I call the document immoral because morality chiefly consists of the assumption of obligations and duties to others by every individual. To insist upon 29 articles of rights which everyone is en c ouraged to expect from others, without a comparable insistence upon obligation, is merely to encourage the moral weakness of our times. What I miss is even one little phrase, perhaps at the end of article 25. I would have thought that so wise and distinguished a commission would have added to this long list of rights, including that of an ade qu ate standard of living, the phrase: Provided the individual endeavors to render to society such services as are within his capacity.' "This document may be good politics, but those like yourself in high and responsible office need to give attention to developing a sense of obliga tion in this America of ours in addition to the uni' versa I cry for my rights. If you do not do it, this great country of ours is headed for disaster. Your letter offers to send material advertising this Declaration of Human Rights. Do you have available also something that promotes a sense of social obligation and public duty? Yours sincerely, Harvie Branscomb, Vanderbilt University We do not know what reply the Federal Commissioner of Education made to the Nashville educator. We hardly know what reply he could have made, in good conscience. Declarations of human rights are ideali The very conscience stically unassailable. of the United States Constitution is its Bill of Rights. But Branscomb uses a fitting word when he describes as immoral a declaration which describes the more abundant life as the right of every human without compensating effort on his part.
