...referendum of Harvard students can change the functions of officers in the United States military "services." The suggestion of such a referendum reminds us of Stephen Douglas's conception of a "democratic" solution to the problem of the expansion of slavery before the Civil War. Under Douglas's plan, the white residents of the territorial areas (Nebraska and Kansas) would vote to decide whether slavery would be legal when the territories attained statehood. For moral men, there can be no "right" to suppress people fighting for social, political, and economic freedom, just as there is no "right" to enslave other...

The controversy may have slowed the tide of decentralization by scaring the legislature into delaying consideration of a general plan for decentralization. But few admit the movement toward community control, now affecting almost every U.S. city, can be permanently stopped--without destroying the system entirely...
