fense in America will be a cause for
another world struggle. On the other
hand, it would be a decided factor in
the cause of peace. The United States
has no desire to attack others, re-
gardless of what our resources or
preparedness may be, and an efficient
defense, both on the air and water,
will swiftly alter any plans of other
powers to meddle with affairs in the
jNew World.
Economy is a great thing, and his
adherence of that policy has made
Coolidge the most popular President
of recent years, but economy should
be limited, to some extent, to govern-
mental departments and interior or-
ganizations, and not to the air and
naval defense of the nation. The navy
should be immediately brought up to
the 5-5-3 ratio, and, as soon as the
smoke of the Mitchell battle clears
away so that some decision can be
reached on exactly what reorganiza-
tion is to be preferred, the air service
should be reorganized.
THE VISITING PHYSICIANS
Many prominent figures in the
American medical world are guests
of the University today. They are
the members of the American Con-
gress on Internal Medicine, who, after
meeting in Detroit during the early
part of the week for the tenth annual
clinical session of the organization,
come to Ann Arbor for further ses-
sions at the "world famous labora-
tories and clinics of the University
of Michigan," as the Congress has
called them. To them the University
extends its greetings.
This welcome, the University ex-
tends with a feeling of pride, for it is
welcoming men who stand on the
frontier of medical research,-men
whose energies are directed toward
the alleviation of suffering and to-
ward the discovery of phenomena
which will make human life happier.
These men the Universitywelcomes
to its hospitals and laboratories,-
institptions which the Congress has
called "world famous," and of which
the University and state are proud.
Here the visitors will see taught
and extended a living gospel of
"healing." They will see their col-
leagues at work in laboratories and
clinics; they will see at first hand
the work which the University is do-
ing in its departments of medicine
and allied subjects. This work the
University believes to be truly great,
believes it to be a real contribution
to this age, and a prominent outpost
on the frontier of science.
And so the University welcomes to
the city members of the American
Congress on Internal Medicine, be-
cause it is greeting men whose lives
unselfishly are devoted to human ad-
vancement, and because it feels that
it also is doing ,a great work in this
field, and is anxious to have those of
the profession pass judgment on its
efforts.

PRO1111TION PIONEERS I
To the Editor:-
The staff correspondent of the De-
troit News writes from Washington,
D. C., that the Board of Temperance,
Prohibition and Public Morals has
discovered the Michigan Daily and is
distributing your recent editorial as
good prohibition material for propa-
ganda broadcasting
Washington ought to know that the
University of Michigan is not a
stranger to prohibition loyalties in
its student body. In that national
capital city are the headquarters of
the Intercollegiate Prohibition asso-
ciation, representing hundreds of in-
stitutions of higher learning; but its
first national president and its first!
national secretary back in 1892 were
both University of Michigan men.
pioneers in a national student reform
movement which before had been
only state wide.I
By the eighteenth amendment and
the Volstead law, we have captured
the Thermopylae of reform long held'
by the organized liquor traffic in this
country, and we will continue to hold
that strategic position which we have
won, without either defeat or retreat.
The prohibition of the liquor traffic
is not an end in itself, it is simply a
path-finder. The pioneers of thirty!
and thirty-five years ago have seen
their student oninions written into
the fundamental law of the land. But
they were only trail-blazers for the
present and succeeding generations of
progressive college students who are
now free to march to even greater
victories that await them in the fruit-
ful fields of reform that lie beyond.

"America has never yet hoisted
the white flag and it will not hoist
it in regard to prohibition en-
for;ement. More than 38,000
bootleggers have answered the
roll call in Federal courts this
last year; over $7,000,000 was
assessed in fines and over five
thousand years of prison penal-
tes imposed."-Wayne B. Wheel-
cr. general counsel of the Anti-
Saloon League of America.
ECONOMY PLUS
Ever since the death of President
Harding placed Calvin Coolidge in
the Presidency of the United States,
the word Coolidge has been synon-
omnous with ,economy. Any legisationI
that requires the expenditure of the
n ational funds is sure to find an en-
ergetic opponent in the White House.
In this light, it is strongly suspected
r:i;mrnment circles that eceonomyI
is the basic principle that underlies
the President's recent attacks on an
expansive .air program, and most cer-
t- inly is responsible for his refusal to
a prove the appropriations necessary
bring the United States navy up to
t' 5-5-3 ratio prescribed by the
t i hington Armaments conference.
While it is true that economy in
the federal government is greatly to
be desired, it does not follow that
continued savings in the defense
e~pnment of the nation is equally
1: d ble. While it is difficult for the}
l v n to ascertain anything about
the condition of the air service, due1
to the heated charges of Mr. Mitchell
en ono hand and the equally emphatic
t<enials of the officers in charge on
the other, it seems that the addition
cf a few more planes ready for serv-
i1e would hardly raise the equipment
to a size that could be branded by the
1-ost imaginative of the pacifists as
either agressive. or militaristic.
President Coolidge fears that the
completion of the plans advocated
would make the United States a
"militaristic nation liable to prey on
other nations." Militarism, the Presi-
dent should know, is determined
more by the state of the national

"REGGARMAN"
A review, by Alan Hathway.
A unique plot built entirely around
the antics of a single character, the
amusing yet pathetic figure of Jeppe,
the drunkard, Jeppe the victim of his
own impulse, and Jeppe the but of
another man's joke. The action is
neither startling in incident nor
risque in wording as might have been
iexpected from the advances and the
author's reputation. The medieval
bawdiness was either removed, per-
haps fortunately, or never existed. In
its entirety, however, the play was
clever and not at all without its
point.
Jeppe of, The Hill, the only really
distinct character in the "Beggar-
man" and played by the most accomp-
lished ator on the stage was the life
of the play. Robert Henderson lived
the role to satisfaction, tremulous in
his subservience to Master Eric, the
whip, shrinking from his shrew-wife
and yet iron handed and dictatorial in
his demands and sentences upon the
subjects of Jeppe the Baron. His
sudden belief that his peasant life
as a cuckold and the 'man' of a she-
tyrant were but halluncinations and
that he really was a Baron was a
clever stroke of character acting. It
presented an amusing step from Pau-
per to Prince in too short a time to
think clearly and Jeppe scratched
his head and could not forget his
inborn peasant attitude even though
he was well filled with 'pork' wine.
Amy Loomis as Nille, the master of
her husband's soul, if not his thirst
displayed several good bits of char-
acterization, though the effectiveness
of her soliloquies was greatly lessen-
ed by her repeated appeals to the
audience, as were some of Jeppe's.
Perhaps these were written into the
play, but even so they seemed to
scent of the vaudevillian. Aside from
this featu're most of the speeches of
te tyrant-wife rang true and lost the
semlblence of- 'pay-acting.'
Baron Nilus, played by Dale Shafer.
though a role without a great deal
of characterization was well present-
ed and aside from Robert Henderson's
Jeppe assumed a more professional
attitude than any other members of
the cast. Ills commands were more
convincing and his laughs more gen-
uine than any of 'his fellow in-
triguers.
The theme music, "Beggarman"
composed by Milton Peterson carried
the audience into the spenes and
brought it back to reality In a most
pleasing fashion. The almost wierd
refrain seemed to fit the haphazard
career of Jeppe hi a quite delightful
manner. Though a comparatively
small factor in the development of
the plot it aided to its success ma-
terially.

"TRAVIATA"
A review, by Clarice Tapson.
An excellent company, an excellent
orchestra, and an excellent opera, as
operas go, and a mere handful of peo-
ple--that was what the Whitney
housed last night.
"La Traviata' is as dependable an
I opera as "La Dame aux Camellias,"
the 1ook from which it is taken, is a
play. Its story contains a good deal
of drama, which in turn presents
numerous opportunities for stirring
music. The story of the woman with
a past who gives up the man she loves
to satisfy his family, and then dies
in said lover's arms when he returns
just too late is too familiar to 'need
detailed explanation.
And anyway it's not the story, but
I the music that counts in opera. And
the music of Guiseppe Verdi still
brings down the audience.
The first honors, vocal and dramat-
ic, go to Marina Polazzi in the title
role, La travieta, Violetta, the Italian)
Camille. Powerful and with an un-
usual range, her voice can still suit
itself to the gentler passages, as in
the last act in the "Gay Paris" duet.
Ber hest moments, however, were in
the first act, in her long soliloquizing
passage, during which she sings
"Sempre Libera" as well as the bet-
ter known "Ah, Fors' E Lui." She
baritone, who has the lovely "Di Pro-
venza I Mar" in the second act.
The rest of the cast was excellent.
The bits of th'e baron, the maid, the
gipsy chorus, were all fine, and the
tutti passages wvere lovely pieces of
harmony, 'With an especially moving
finale to the third act.j
The orchestra too deserves a word.
Under the baton of Aldo Franchetti,
it was made a background, an aid,
to the singing, not, as so often hap-
pens, drowning out the voices in try-
ing to gain glory for itself. It did
full justice to its only separate num-
ber, at the beginning 'of the fourth
act.
All in all, last night's performance
was one to be remembered. Ann Ar-
bor seldom has a chance to hear
grand opera, and still more seldom, to
hear a good company sing it. It seems
a shame that such a small represen-
tation was on hand last night.
COMEDY CLUB TRYOUTS
General tryouts for membership in
Comedy Club will be held in New-
berry hall tomorrow afternoon from
three to five-thirty o'clock. All stu-
dents on the campus are eligible for
membership, and are expected to

memorized if possible, for recitation.
All members are expected to be
present.

THE MATFNEE MUSICALE
A review, by Vincent Wall.
If color connotation means any-
thing, the Matinee Musicale was a
combination of a fitful sea-green blue
and an undertone of coral pink di-
luted with purple... The sea-green
blue was supplied by a series of
French lyrics sung by Mrs. Annis
Dexter Gray; the coral pink and pur-
ple was suggested by the four move-
ments of the "Concerto D Major"
given by Albert Lockwood, Marian
Struble Freeman, and the University
string quartet.
The first three of the French lyrics
"Plasir d'Amour," a group composed
of "Venez Agreable Printemps" and
"Jeune Fillette" and "L'Heure Ex-
quise" were done with a cheerful note
of confidence but with a quite evident
lack of tonal quality, especially on
the higher notes. The last two num-
berse Debussys "Beau Soir," and "Au
Printemps" of Gounod were of an es-
sentially different quality, and were
much better suited to the contralto
voice of the snger. The entire series
was of an intimate type of chamber
music quite suited to the small audi-
ence and the size of the room, yet
they lacked a certain spontaneity
perhaps a....coordination.
And again the Chausson "Concerto
D Major" was delightful and remain-
ed the most inspiring note on the
program. It too is French-typically
French-but it is rather the music of
the contrapuntal school of Caesar
Franck than the harmonic school of
Debussy. It was executed with a
finesse and technique that was truly
professional-this due to the sweep-
ing mastery of Mr. Lockwood and
Mrs. Freeman. There were four
movements and two stand out in
emphatic contrast; they were first
the full waves of harmony of the "De-
cide" and second, the calm dignity of
the "Grave." Of course the room was
so tiny that the music seem to come
beating down on the heads of the
audience, but that easily minimized
with the truly exceptional presenta-
tion of the suite as a whole.
