To the Editor:
In view of the

has arisen over the criticism of "The
Dover Road", we think it only fair to
break silence and voice our senti-
ments. It so happens that we were'
members of the audience on the night
in question. The writer of Thursday's
review, we find, was quite fair in hip
criticism of the play and its embel-
lishments.
And for the entertainment between.
the acts, we blush at the thought of
calling it such. The piano in Angell
Hall is 'a veritable tin pan, and what
can be expected from what issue
forth? Certainly not music. And the
singer (?) It is against all principles
of the singing profession, we know,
not to practice a program before pre-
senting it in public. And when a
singer stops in the middle of his of-
fering and informs his audience that
he will be unable to continue, not!

nese, a people noted for their wealth
in that scarce commodity-time. They
call it "the game of life" thereby in-
timating that it takes a lifetime to
play it. Moreover, Mah Jong is a
game that requires a fresh mind-a
brain undevastated by the rigors of a1
hard day. In that respect, the game
ranks' with some card games where
the player is called upon to add, sub-
tract, multiply, divide, extract the
square root, and caculate the fourth
dimension. A noble game truly, buti
play is play and work is work in
Smythe's opinion.
It is true that Mah Jong is played
by plenty of people who do not seema
to wear out their brains playing it.
Smythe has seen many games in whichI
so little intellectual acumen seemed
to be displayed that the participants
were not really playing the game but
merely playing that they were playing
it.

Dear Cowles:
I suppose it would make you feel!
bad to tell you that the funniest thing
we've read in your colyum this year
was the "Caesar and his Brutus" ora-
tion in Sunday's Daily, but Cowles old
boy, it took a round dozen clowns to
write that masterpiece and you are
just one lone jester. Besides look at
the experience most of 'em have had
writing sport dope and Sunday Mag
stuff with the aid of Roget or etcetera
for the Greatest Collitch Daily. We
notice that you have "outraged the
finest feelings of all loyal sons of our
great Whatsa Mater," but a couple of
loyal daughters also sign their names
Now what do you make of that?
Well, show 'em some of the indom-
itable Michigan spirit, Cowlesy. Don't
you resign unless Daugherty does.
Yours effusively,
Teapot ome,

The writer of "Unfair Criticism" ir
Friday's issue ought to know that
people attending such performances
do not go for the love of spending

Iong have we awaited the time
when some brave individual would
sweep away the precedent of flowery
and untrue reviews. We rejoice now
in that we have not waited in vain. Of
all the reviews in The Daily of tlis

them all. We look forward to more of
the same and hope that the time will

THE FRENCH IN THE RUihR
To the Editor:
I have grown weary of your re-
peated arraignment of France as a
criminal because of the Ruhr "invasi-
on". All of Germany's trouble is appar-
ently due to the fact that France is
holding the Ruhr. Even the sa plight
of the intellectuals, including the am-
ous "Ninety Signers" is due to the
Ruhr "invasion" if we may believe a
statement on the front page of The!
Daily yesterday.
This seems strange since the find-
ing of the experts is "Hundreds of new
factories have been erected in all parts
of Germany in the last four years"
and "Germany' has built sice the ar-
niistice actully nmore locomotives and:
freight cars thign she needs" (New
York Times). Strange that there
should be no employment!
Our own expert, General Dawes does -
not agree with you on the Ruhr oc
cupation. Will you kindly print his
statement which follows: "Certainly I
said it" declared Brigadier Genera:
Charles G. Dawes, American member.
of the first committee of experts which I
has been investigating Germany's ii-
nancial and economic situation, t, the
A.ociated Press t fight. " rpeat
t: If the French were not 1L the
Ruhr we experts would not be here."
"I said it as early as February
1923," General Dawes said, "I repeat-
ed it to my colleagues on the commit-
tee, and I am telling it to you now
because I believe it.", . . .
General Dawes had bsn asked by
the correspondent if he was the ex-
pert to whom Premiei Poincara re-
ierred in addressing the Chamber of
i.eputies yesterday when the Premier
said that one of the experts rec'ently
told a French colleague, "we should
ha t been unable to reach our ,pres-
ent teruts were you not in the Ruhr.
Asked what he meant by his state-
ment, General Dawes said he thought
the Ruhr occupation had made the
Germans realize that they must pay
up to their capacity, which it appear-
ed they had not intended to do un-
til the French troops ' entered the
Ruhr; also the year'q stay in the
Ruhr had brought the French to un-
derstand that occupation itself was
not producing reparation payments
and caused them to recede from the
stand taken demanding enormous im-
mediate sums and prepared them tc
consider easier terms of settlement
than previously.
"Thus," General Dawes -added, "had
the French not taken the Ruhr the
state of mind of both the Germans and
the French would have been unchang-
ed and there would have been no oc-
casion for the experts to meet."
