there is no reason why all nations
should not be on a plane of complete
parity.
CENTRAL CONrVROL
An interesting experiment is being
tried in Italy, where the government
is assuming practical control of the
course of industry and where produc-
tion and prices are being regulated
by the government economists. The
latest move is an order from the
government that .the exporters must
reduce their prices almost at once
because of the possible loss of the
export market.
It is possible, according to the,
premises of economics to control
trade in this way. And it seems that
Italy, with the iron dictatorship of
II Duce, is in an excellent position
to wisely ordain and then enforce
the wise course of industry. It is an
experiment that will bear watching.

EDUCATING FRESHIMEN
Something new and beneficial seems
to be in store for incoming freshmen
in view of the recent announcement
of puans for a regular Freshmen week
to be held the last week in Septem-
ber before classes start. In accord-
ance with the policy of the commit-,
tee in charge of the program for
freshmen for "humanizing education,"
activities have been planned for the
benefit of the new students for the
purpose of helping them to become
acquainted with the University, its
activities, and in a general way, in-
clicating what' will be expected of
them in the four years to follow.
The original Freshmen week was
Inaugurated at the University of
N4aine in 1922 by President Little.
Since then, Pof. William A. Frayer,
of the history department, points
but, the idea has spread to more
than 100 other American universities.
The idea involves a full week of ac-
tivities for the freshmen entering the
university. They will arrive one week
before upperclassmen and will be oc-1
cupied until. the opening day of'
classes.
Although it may take two or three
years for the new system to show
any direct results, it is wholly prob-
able that the plan adopted by the
committee will prove a success and
be one more step forward in stabiliz-
ing college education; and at the same
.time it would be an additional feather
in the cap of Michigan's president and,
the University as a whole.
ITHE TARIFF
Of all the problems of American
politics none has been more consist-
ently perennial and more perennially,
insistent than the tariff. There has
not been a single administration since
the early part of the nineteenth cen-
tury that has not had to deal with
the problem in some form and while,
the general tendency seems to have
been away from protection, it is ex-!
SIC'S REPLY
To The Editor:
May I at this tin' give some of
the proper interpretations of my
former communication? It was not
my intention:
1. To prove that all lynchings are
justified.
2. To prove that all Negro men are
rapists (Mr. Johnson dissenting, not-
withstanding).
3. To prove that the lynching of
a guilty moron is good public policy
or good criminology.
Nor did I have any intention of
proving that the earth is flat or that
the moon is made of green cheese,
but Mr. Johnson failed to infer that
I intended to prove these. And one
more correction, please. I praised
some of the work 'of the Ku Klux
Klan and not the organization itself,
and anyone who is acquainted thor-
oughly with some of the work of that
order will join me in the praise of
the work done.
It was not my intention to attempt
to justify lynching, rather it was my
intention to show how narrowly some
individuals see the problems of their
neighbors. It was my intention to
show how dogmatic and uncharitable
some people are toward the South
when they know nothing of the con-
dition and circumstance.
In regard to the justification of
lynchings, I will at this time say a
few words although in my former
communication I did not intend to
justify such procedure, rather I pro-
tested against a heartless unchari-
table editorial that burned my south-
ern heart, even though I realized at
the time that it was written by one
of a fertile imagination and void of
all knowledge of the facts and con-
dit ions.
From the standpoint of the social
group, no deviation from the ordinary
established channels of procedural
justice is justifiable. The Texas
rangers who took the reigns of rule
in their own hands and trove the
horse-thief out of the state or hanged
him on a tree beside the murderer
discovered in their midst; the winning
groups of some of our western states
which quietly extinguished the life
I of the thief or murderer discovered
in their midst; and even the revolt-
ing American colonists attempting to
take the reigns of rule and control
in their hands, from the established
law under which they had come into
existence cannot be justified from the
standpoint of the larger social group.-
And yet in each of these instances a
careful examination of the conditions
will show that we as individuals prob-
ably would have acted about the
same way had we lived, there then
and under the circumstances. We are
all humans. Life is sweet to each in-
dividual and there is a strong feel-
ing of loyalty to the smaller imme-
diate social group. I do not want to

Listen to this tale of romance,
Tale of Indian warriors cold-
In the rainy hunting season
Came they forth, those warriors
mighty, /
Scarred from many a campus
battle-
Student council, Daily, football-
Forth they romped to get um pale-
face;
Paleface who had dared to tres-
pass
On the ground of happy hunt-
ing.
Covered with a coppery; brick-
dust
Carme those screaming, yelling
redmen,
To the mighty oak of Tappan
Where there waited trembling
paleface.
Icy waters, scourging rawhide,
Used they there to test the pale-
face
While the lowly student body
Gathered round to watch their
pranking.
Seizing then their chastened cap-
tives
Forth they bore them to the
Union,
Wigwam of the conquering In-
dian.

can explain why Schumann-leink by
w ing a chubby hand at the gallery
can create in one the immnortal il-

Of course there is nothing of great-
er value to -a diva than the traditions
that surround her; Madame has fifty
glorious years behind her. And after
all, it is sentiment that makes the
world go round; the boobs eat it, andl
the most sophisticated bend in ac-
knowledgement to the romance of
such a career. Still Mrs. Pat Camp-
bell with all the stability of the Eng-
lish theatre was damned without
mercy for her seasonal revival in
New York. The ways of the profes-
sion are devious and strange.
Her program was simple, and wise-
ly so, cdnsisting of two wagnerian
arias from the Siegfried cycle (Erda's
Warning from "Dan Rheingold" and
W a 1 tr aute's "Gotterdaemmerung" )
and four ballots. As a matter of tone,
even of technique, there might have
been imperfections; but her interpre-
tation was faultless, as real and vivid
as if the picture stage was actually
before the audience. There is some-
thing stimulating in statuesque con-
tralto with beady black eyes and a
calm and Teutonic assurance that i:

"Cap Night must be preserved," is
the ultimatum issued by the Ann Ar-
bor Clothier's unioti. "We shall in-
sist upon the complete preservation
of the ceremonies, even if we have to
build the fire ourselves. All this
tommyrot about a fireless celebration '
must be dropped at once."
"We're willing to help the Women's
League," declared their spokesman,
"but we've got to live ourselves."

We remember a few of our own
unfortunate adventures with the

didn't mind it so much when they

but when they doubled it over that

allegiance to tradition by going bare-
headed.

If tradition shrouded Madame in a
final blaze of glory, Howard Han-
son's commemorative opus struck
another note-one of raw newness,
as alien to the master symphonist as
a Sandburg blank verse to the ma-
jestic bombast of a Shakespearean
iaw-bic. The "Heroic Elgy" is in a
way a masterpiece. They were all
so earnest-from Mr. Hanson him-
self in a wild orgy of gyration to the
blonde in the second row of the so-
pranos--that there must be some-
thing in it. It follows strangely in
the footsteps of the "Lament": the
same awkward dissonance, a mono-
tonous repetition of rhythm in the
brasses, and an elaborate counter mel-
ody for the cornets. Moreover, there
is one of the most effective and truly
sensational climaxes I have ever
ever -heard in a symphony orchestra
-a deafening crescendo in full or-
chestra that broke without modula-
tion i'nto a violin solo.

sitions by Ludwig Von Beethoven for

WHEN my father was in college, "Put that in
