Watts Sylvia Miller Johanna Wiese Helen Olsen THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1930 Night Editor-RICHARD L. TOBIN control of the Mediterranean; and' Italy has stolen a march on France by establishing "friendly" relations with Albania, thus "cornering" the Adriatic. France and Italy are rivals in African colonial com- merce. Both seem to think they have every reason to view any move made by the other as suspi- cious. But HITLER does not evidently want to establish a rather doubtful alliance. "Why should a Franco- German alliance be formed and against whom would it be di- rected?" he asks. Then he very logically points out that "if France is ready to give up her superiority over Germany in the point of armaments, I think it would be far more sensible for France to disarm than for Germany to rearm." He likewise would like to know whether HERVE'S proposals mean that France has lost faith in the League of Nations, and whether the French government would re- gard such an alliance as in keeping with the principles of the Kellogg pact. From these arguments, it would appear that Germany does not really fear a war with another nation; but in keeping with its conquered-nation attitude policy, it must needs complain in order to make the world think it is worse off than it actually is. Although the standing German army is limited in numerical strength, the unofficial reserve forces are rapidly growing. The method of circumventing the Ver- sailles treaty is to drill men for the national "Schutze-polizei," or po- lice forces. There is nothing in the conditions of the pact that forbids the training of as many police as the country may need. Germany is not standing still. But France, Great Britain, and Italy should not, at present, worry about a regular war with Germany; they should confine their energy to pre- paration for the commercial com- petition with which that country is soon going to confront them. THE SOVIET ENTERS WORLD POLITICS. For the past decade, Russia has been in the unenviable position of the "poor relative," forced to tak what was left after the orgies of the European powers, and depend- ing for her principal weapon upon "friends in enemy countries." But after ten years of this, she has grown to a position of power and prominence. Particularly will this be evident in the coming Geneva conference to which the Soviet delegates are now on their way. They will meet there, according to a report in the New York Times, the assistance of the Germans and of the Italians In adition, there is a tacit under- standing that they will be backed by Turkey. To what extent this collaboration will exist isnstill a matter of somequestion, but that it does exist is certain. With such co-operation as a basi on which to make their demands. the Soviet delegation under the direction of MAXIM LITVINOFF. the Foreign Commissar, will not be snubbed by the other European powers. M. Litvinoff goes to Geneva with Soviet sentiment behind him and very well-defined ideas as to the functioning of the "Geneva disaramament comedy," as the Soviet press has chosen to call it. Whatevr the result, this move marks the serious entrance of the Soviet government into the politics of the world. Her notions of a world revolutoin have been largely out- grown. Even the propaganda of the Communists has entered a twilight stage which is revealed only in the occasional fBashes of publicity- hungry politicians. The Soviet Union has passed its childhood. Her delegates go to Geneva prepared to view the prob- lems of the conference in the light of world affairs rather than in the lurid glow of Communism. With her immense resources of wealth and man-power, and her government ready to "play the game" with1 Europe, the Soviet must be given a voice and recognized as a power' in the affairs of the world.r 0STED ROM HOW ABOUT A LITTLE VERVE? I say, gents, what are the chances on exhibiting a little of the pep verve, loyalty, and all the other things for which Michigan is so justly famous. Why, you big bunch of punks, I hear that at the last stupendous send-off about 45 of you turned out, and three of those cheered. If you aren't careful, you will. soon find that Michigan will be known the world over for hon- oring its traditions in the breeches. (That was inspired by the fact that the female voices were not- ably lacking at the fiesta.-Add items for anti-coed campaign. I always said females were bad for spirit. A look at the ones around here would lower anyones spirit.) * * * The Pherret, who is on an eastern tour at the moment, writes me the following:- Dear Dan: Cornell men have gone to the lengths of forcibly demon- strating their superiority to the women on campus when they turned Baptist the other day and submerged an erring damsel who , ad the temerity to ascend th Lawyer's steps. How about sending them a Di- ploma? Yours in a parabola, Pherret. The following was donated to me in a spirit of camaradie-which I froze with a glance-by the wom- ens page. "Reminiscent of the campaign raging in the Rolls Column, we fine an editorial supporting the same .dea of 'Down with the Coeds' in the student publication at Oxford published a short time ago. Ther has been some agitation for the last few years." * * * Don't forget the Send-off! ! * * * And just while I'm on the sub- ject, has anyone noticed what s 'ousy looking affair that Newberr3 ?uditorium is? How about some contributions, letters of Marque and Reprisal sent to the Adminis- tration, social ostracism of all E & G boys, and other methods of coercion? Surely you, red blooded students, the flower of your glor- ious race, budding Americans, and future arbiters of yourtcountry's destiny are not going to sit idly by and let a' bunch of tightwa: make you grow up in surround- ings calculated to stunt, stifle, and stigmatize your aesthetic develop- ment are you? Why of course you ire you big babies! And let me tel: you this. After Uncle Daniel ha done all this work to get it fixed for you, when the thing is finall3 rit to be seen, I am going to gc and enjoy it myself and kick every- one else out. You aren't going tc make a monkey out of me- you Iot here about 20 years too late. * * , You! Yeah, I mean you right there,-you don't look so darn peppy to me. What would the team think? What you need is a good trip down to the send- ofs tomorrow. It'll put roses in your cheeks, and take my word for it, there's nothing any nicer than roses in your cheeks, fra- ternity freshmen and bad chil- dren to the contrary notwith- standing. K- * -1 * Dear Dan: Reading the Daily of November 2nd I note something very int:r- esting. One dealing with Earnest Hemingway is nice if you care for that sort of thing (why Jojo how could you think such a thing of me?); but the picture that goes with it is what makes it real news., The last time I saw that picture it was labelled Michael Arlen-and it loked like Arlen too. This time it is labelled Earnest Hemingway and it still looks like Arlen. Can some reader explain this? I am sure you can't Dan. MUSIC AND DRAMA RAYMOND I OIN A Review. Raymond Morin, whose ambition in the way of recitals is admirable, presented a long difficult program last night to a crowd which filled the School of Music Auditorium. Despite the frequency of very hectic moments. the recital re- vealed or rather confirmed the im- pression of a significant talent. Nearly all Mr. Morin's playing em- ploys a wealth of intense musical impulses. The very state of nervous tension which is his attitude at the piano tends to suggest significant interpretation. And such generally is the case. Mr. Morin's impulses are prim- arily rythmical. And this primary source of inspiration continually vitalized his playing-even when it was bad playing. That is, a strong sense of what was rythmically in- dicated in the score carried him successfully through passages in the Presto movements of the Schu- nann G Minor Sonata where very clearly the wealth of pianistic de- tail in the score was technically bewildering him. Rythm is prim- ary. And even though his failure to clarify all the very difficult Schumann writing prevented any- thing approaching perfection, his playing of the sonata was notable. Only a mature artist could pos- sess the sensitive discretion and the technique to articulate the in- tense emotional states that musi obviously evokes in Morin. It is significant enough just at present that the emotional states exist. There actually was something like perfection integration in the Prokofieff Suggestions Diaboiques which Mr. Morin played very bril- liantly. Certain technical defects were more or less consistent in the re- cital. Occasionally, tempi were hastened into the spasmodic. In the Mower, lyrical passages, Mr. Mor- in's feelings are not at all trust- worthy. There was a general in- sensitiveness to details of phras- ing, particularly with regard to accent, and some extraordinary self-indkfence in retards and ac- celeration These were evidenced mnost clearly in the first section of the Chopin Etude in E Major. His louder tones are consistently hard and unresonant. The notable aspect of his tech- nique, aside from a facility which suggests potential virtuosity, was a considerable dynamic scale which he manages very deftly and pre- cisely. FINE VICTORIAN NNSENSE. GILBERT AND SULLIVAN: Iolan- the: a comic opera in twa ats: nder direction of Rupert D'Oyly Carte: symphony orchestra con- ducted by Malclm Sargent: Victor Masterpiece Series. G. K. Chesterton has it that the best work of the Victorian ae. perhaps the most Victorian work of the Victorian age, was its satire on itself. Indeed, Gilbert and Sulli- van engagingly working in the realm of nonsense made all the criticisms we ourselves so fiercely reiterate. The sentimental song n Gilbert and Sullivan somehow knows very well all about its qul- ity and subtly mocks, while being tender, the idiocy of being tender. This simultaneous presentation of quality and satire on the quality only a Victorian could have written. We can only rant and show a dis- tressing sense of superiority. Iolanthe, the music from which Victor issued last month in a Splendid rendition by the tradi- 'ional D'Oyly Carte Company of Condon, is typical Gilbert humour. There is the typical mingling of fancy and .(actually fierce) satire. A band of fairies are juxtaposed with the British House of Lords. The latter group show the grcater antasticality of tradition. The fairies are rather prosaic, with normal desires. The peers are un- believable persons breaking into jigs, admitting their shames and brainlessness with attractive im- pudence. Gilbert's heaven-sent silliness is wedded to Sullivan's buoyant tunes, gayly catching the conversational inflections of Gilbert's buoyant crescendoes of rhymes and metri- cal funning. Whether you be "a litle liberal or a little conservative," this music that Victor issues is joyously liberating. Sullivan, of course, was as su- oreme a humourist as Gilbert was. With mockingly intricate writin ae had no end of fun with Italian operatic conventions. Indeed, a god deal of the pleasure fron Sullivan's music is satisfaction A SEND-OFF FOR THE TEAM. This afternoon the football team leaves for one of the most import- ant intersectional games of the year, and a crucial game of the season as far as Michigan is con- cerned. Plans for a rousing send- off have been completed and all that remains to insure its success is the obtaining of the whole- hearted support of the student body. To this end, classes in the University will be dismissed at 4:00 o'clock to enable all students to attend this great open air pep meeting. Coaches, football captains, and the players' themselves are united in their opinion of the value of student support. The undergrad- uate body can instill that last mea- sure of punch into a team and that final urge may be the margin of victory. A large enthusiastic turn- out this afternoon will let the team know that the student body, though it cannot, for the most part, follow them on their long journey, is with them to a man. Students and townspeople alike Will assemble at Angell hall and accompany the team to the station. The Varsity band, cheerleaders, and members of the team will be on hand. Will you? MILITARY BUGABOOS. Every so often some German politician issues a statement in which he bewails the fact that his country is not allowed tohtrain more soldiers under the Versailles peace treaty, and that should some neighboring country become a menace, the Reichswehr would never be able to protect the coun- try.f it ii I1 i k i =_ -- -- - - -_ _ ___ _ -- a i __ _ ___ _ .- moomw . arty RE PA I I HA L ER'S State Street Jewelers SUBSCRIBE TO THE MICHIGAN DAILY Years Old 4amad %qqvt,&vII M'W 0 %TrO Forty years ado the Michigan Daily was published for the first time.
