Perry Shorts..1 REDUCE WAR BREEDERS High tariffs levied by one coun- try and the resulting retaliatory tariff wall built up by other coun- tries have long been war breeders. The recommendation by British and French delegates to the League of Nations that an international economic conference be called for the purpose of lowering these bar- riers is a huge step toward the promotion of world harmony and understanding, which, in its ulti- mate aspects, is no less important than the present movement for the limitaiton of armaments. Thinking persons in every na- tion of the world are rapidly real- izing that heavy duties form a terrific hindrance to trade. As no country is entirely independent of the rest of the world for its goods, none can afford to cut themselves off by the imposition of unreason- able duties. The efforts of war- torn Europe to stage a "comeback" in economic affairs are often pro- hibited by just such a situation. Not only are tariffs war breeders, but they propagate national ha- treds and jealousies without ac- complishing any of the purposes for which they are levied: namely the protection of home industry. Unable to sell goods profitably, a powerful nation will probably at- tempt to find new sources for raw materials and better markets in which to sell the manufactured product. Both may have to be won by force of arms, or at least by military threat. Any plan for the reduction of high tariff barriers which have hampered the states of the world for so long should be looked on with great favor by all. The pro- cess will undoubtedly be slow, but generally increased prosperity is certain to result. WHY PICK ON ONE? With a vigor characteristic of its many inquiries, the Senate,' through its Naval Affairs commit- tee is investigating the alleged big navy propaganding of. William B. Shearer. Shearer, reports say, dis- rupted disarmament progress at the unsuccessful Geneva naval conference in 1927, while in the employ of American shipbuilders. Though proceeding with vigor, the Senate investigators are lacking in vision. They are concerned pri- marily with personal qualities of the defendant and with only the particular incident at hand. They have failed to grasp the real sig- nificance of the situation. The Shearer case is important because it has aired the type of activities performed by that large body of pests that swarm about legislative assemblies, the lobbyists. Warned by the harmful work of this one "professional legislative agent" the Senate should investi- gate the whole army of lobbyists, from those of the Anti-Saloon league on up. Better than the Senate, the Ex- ecutive should act. President Hoo- ver's staunch denouncement of the Shearer-shipbuilder partnership when -it first came to light, indi- cated that he was to profit by the Woodrow Wilson manner of hurl- ing broadsides at the lobbyists. But, apparently the Hoover gun can stand but one shot, and the re- mainder of the "experts" will con- tinue to distort legislative acts. Washington should use its en- ergy now devoted to digging into personal records of Shearer and details of the Geneva incident, for sweeping up the lobby generally. Its act would then be more con- ducive to good government. o At Butler University last Satur- day scores of pretty co-eds joined in a snake dance and paraded the gridiron between halves wearing blue berets. If that's news it must have been the berets. Reformed pickpockets and safe- crackers are to lecture at the school of police administration at the University of Chicago. Sounds like a lead pipe course. Complete management of the West Virginia University cafeteria has been undertaken by the home economics department whose stu- dents, under the direction of their instructors, will do everything but the actual labor involved.

Publication date Oct. 4.S * * * Middle Western undergraduates, n a thousand manly miles farthere west, will look aghast at the fol- lowing quotation from Day Edgar's In Princeton Town, which will be I on sale at the book stores Fri- c day. "The door burst open to admit Jempson with a yellow leather casef shaped like a tumbler. From the) case Jempson produced three sil- ver mugs. These, Barber observed admiringly, bore the engraved in-I itials of their owner. The mugs were filled from the quart bottlet of milk, the second bag yielded at supply of bacon buns; and theI three men, between sips and bites, completed plans for an early des- cent upon the night life of New York." A Farewell To Arms, by Ernest; Hemingway,. Charles Scribner's Sons, N. Y. C. Price $2.50. Much has been written concern-; ing Mr. Hemingway's "rhythmic"'' dialogue and his crisp, objective style. This technique, however no- vel and experimental it may be,, and however hard it may pound the reader into emotion, fons dangerous ground for the novelist' to tread. Mr. Hemingway's style, which upon reading must be ad- mitted to be staccato rather than rhythmic, entirely devoid of intro- spection and subjective treatment' of characters as ', is, stands in closer relation to that of the drama than of anything else. In fact it has frequently been thought and recorded that his short stories in the volume called Men Without Women would find their rightfulj place dressed in the technique of one-act plays. This in itself would be an al- lowable and even commendable method, could its success be count- ed in terms of effect. But in fol- lowing the theatre as closely as he does, Hemingway forsakes any ap- peal to the intellect. The staccato effect of his prose plays havoc with I the senses, but falls short of de- sired effect in so far as the de- lineation of character is concern- I ed, and delineation of character to the novelist - to any novelist - should be paramount. The Hem- ingway insistence of merely re- cording what people say and do, and'avoiding the subjective, leaves the reader with only sensory re- actions and, more than that, the characters unreal; unseasoned, and lacking that intellectual acquaint- ance with the reader. Hence, in the characters are at the end un- known and unknowable. The method is not a short-com- ing on the part of Mr.- Heming- way. He is too consistent in his technique for that. It does not mean that Mr. Hemingway is a bad writer; it means merely that his experiment fails. A Farewell To Arms tells the tale of an expatriate American in the medical corps of the Italian army and his love for an English nurse. It is a rather monotonous story. It is monotonously rainy in the setting, the hero is monotously drunk and amorous, and the pyg- my sentences are monotonously short. But the redundant style of the author must of necessity be monotonous. Withal, there are de- scriptive passages of harsh fighting and living that merit nothing but honest commendation. The author time after time makes a situation keenly felt anaI lived by the reader with passages that abound with reality. L. R. K. APOLOGIA The policy of the Books Col- umn of The Daily, published in this space two or three times during the week, will be quite simple and un- involved. The attempt on the part of the literary editor will be to place before the student body and the faculty announcements and re- views of books which should be called to the attention of a uni- versity town reading public. Books that are judged to be beyond the simple limits of the literary edi- tor's intelligence, or, more often, technical or scientific knowledge, will be rescued for review by spec- ialists on the faculty. It is the lit- erary editor's sincere wish that those people asked to aid in an intelligence upkeep of this column will respond with good will. The following is a list, published by Brentano's, of the best sellers of the week: DETROIT THIS WEEK: At the n Wilson: New York Theatre Guild presentation of George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion."t Cass: Katharine Cornell in a dra- matization of Edith Wharton's nov- el of the mauve decade, "The Age of Innocence." t Detroit Civic Theatre: Jessie Bonstelle presents an entire new company in A. A. Milne's charming comedy "Meet the Prince." Lafayette: William A. Grew's farce-comedy "My Girl Friday." * * * KATHARINE CORNELL Only very rarely does America know the glamour of a stage per- sonality, a personality that appeals to all types of audience with even the slightest play, a personality like those numerous ones of the nineteenth century English stage which Lamb and Hazlitt and Lewes so glowingly celebrated. Perhaps it 4s that American productions are more honest and endeavour to avoid the exploitation of person- ality; though that is very, very dif- ficult to believe. It is more prob- able that America just hasn't de- veloped those magnificent creatures that always thrill. Katharine Cornell, though, looks very much like one. Her vehicles have nearly always been somewhat stupid parts in very questionable dramas, yet her popularity is enor- mous. She began at the age of nineteen, i the title role of that all too heavenly drama "Seventh Heaven." Another typical role was Kiki. Someyears ago .she gave an. emotional banquet to her then ar- dent admirers as Iris March in "The Green Hat." Her admirers have grown so nu- merous that .now her dramas are very carefully chosen so that she may never disappoint, a somewhat questionable peak of artistry to perch upon, but nevertheless a peak. Her latest manufactured vehicle is "the Age o Innocence." It is an adaptation by Margaret Ayer Barnes of Edith Wharton's reveal- ing and forierly shocking novel. The play reolves around a love tri- angle-a triangle in the 90's, not near as simple and obvious as a twentieth century one and far more absorbing because less indecent - even if that does sound theatrically paradoxical. Countess Olenska, fleeing from a dissolute and b'rutal husband of the Polish nobility lands in her search for refuge into a - smug, conventional circle of very blue-blooded Puritans, cautious of Ispeech and emotions. A young k comfortable lawyer who already has a lovely and rich fiancee son be- comes a disturbing factor in her life. The result is of course, love-- love in the 90's presenting a more delightful spectacle on the stage than a twentieth century love af- fair because of the fine gestures and swooping bends that it called forth. That should be enough. The Countess with European freedom of speech and action dominas our ancestors from the Mayflower. Those who like glamour and act- ing will want to see Miss Cor- nell's Countess. It is sure to be vivid. W.J. G. , , * * * RECITAL Palmer Christian, University or- ganist, is beginning this afternoon his annual series of concerts in Hill Auditorium. In previous in- terviews Mr. Christian has declared his purpose to be primarily edu- cational and those seriously inter- ested in music have taken advan- tage of the opportunity he affords for a comparatively wide glance at organ repertoire. Mr. Christian's first program follows: Hollins: Concert Overture in C Major. Grieg-Christian: Nocturne Widor: Allegro (Symphony No. 6) Corelli: Prelude. Bach: Toccata and Fugue in D Minor.. Karg-Elert: Benediction Gigout: Scherzo. Puccini: Finale Schubert: Marche Militaire * * * MICUI[GAN PLAYS Those who welcomed the ap- pearance of a creative interest in drama last year on the campus which culminated in the publica- tion of "Michigan Plays" will be interested in the short critical re- view the book receives in the Oc- tober number of "Theatre" maga- zine. There is nothing important said that did not come out in the discussion of the book last year. The reviewer grants that the book shows an "interesting variety and C 4' rr! umm ma eaes me rmm e mamam mmm eman Fiie eC ATTNTION Engineer's and Architects Materials Fountain Pens, Loose Leaf Notebooks Typewriting and Pound Papers Stationery, Leather Goods College Pennants and Jewelry - ~A GENERAL LINE OF SUPPLIES FOR ALL STUDENTS at theI tudent upply tore. 1111 South University One-Half Block from the Campus 1'A 'I'. 11 P r~r r_[__ -r . ..

It is simply interesting, and could have been a lot worse. The gov- ernor, for instance, might easily have made a grossly political ap- pointment or an effort to dictate the choice of Michigan's next pres- ident. Neither of these two ends, which we can conceive as being dear to the governor's heart, is it possible to see furthered in the appoint- Anent of Mrs. Cram whom press dispatches describe as a woman of wide community interests and no other qualifications in particular. We can therefore take hope from her appointment that the governor has ceased to regard the University as a handy shuttle-cock for the battledores of his political machine, and we can welcome Mrs. Cram without any of the prejudice and suspicion that would have attach- ed to a number of other possible appointees. As for the novelty of her position as first woman regent, there is good deal to be said in favor of representing her sex on the gov- erning board of the University. Her point, of view anent the problems peculiarly female that arise in the government of a co-educational in- stitution should be distinctly valu- able. In this connection there arise immediately thoughts of the new dormitory to house 450 women, the stew surrounding the management of the Women's League building, and the arguments for a dean of women against the three-adviser arrangement. The danger inherent in estab- lishing the precedent of a woman regent is more future than pres- ent. When Mrs. Cram finishes for- mer Regent. Hanchett's term, an- other woman very possibly will be nominated to run for election, and in the heat of a nominating con- vention some one not so able, level- headed. and unprejudiced may be t a SHOP AND SAVE HERE CDIDDN'T DRUG MAIL ORDERS FILLED ''I: 4',} t , .
