them good food, and so the children suffer. Without
jobs the families lose their homes.

course, all's fair in war, but is there a war? Not yet
But here, plainly, are preparations for war. Here is
a nation's youth being trained to look at us with cool,
unrationalized hatred in its eye.
Students, propaganda is the Jabberwock we must
fight against. We must learn to rationalize, to think
intelligently. We must learn to keep from allowing
words to blind the facts. And the place to train our-
selves is here! The time to train ourselves is now!
Our prompt reaction to press pictures showing six
youths on a March swim off Belle Isle is to ruri

a
Depression'
Politics
ARAMOUNT among the election issues which
1 will face, the United States during the next
eight months is the Depression. Since the influ-
ences of slack business, unemployment, large
debts, bank failures and unpaid taxes were first
felt two years ago, politics have been tied up more
than a little. In fact, elections which have occurred
since has proved this point.
The Democratic party, out of power since 1920,
first showed it was coming back at the time the
Depression became an institution and culminated
its efforts by winning a majority in the House of,
Representatives in 1930 and has increased its po-
tentialities by winning subsequent state and local
elections.
Democrats have naturally, as is the case with
all parties out of power when a national catastro-
phe occurs, criticized the Republican party for its
actions in handling distress and at first even ac-
cused their rivals of causing it. It is, at present,
merely limiting its attacks on the policies and atti-
tudes which Hoover and his administration have
shown in making national legislation on this sub-
ject.
In the past six months, the present administra-
tion, however, has entrenched its power a little
more by making federal boards which subsidize
stricken- institutions and concerns and it is this
factor which may cause a renewed hope in Hoover.
It is to be expected, however, that the Demo-
cratic party will continue its attacks and in the
main will be successful. Primary elections in sev-
eral states already show that the Jeffersonian party
has become materially strengthened and since
these primaries and preferential votes are meant
to pick candidates and mainly to give an indication
of party strength a victory for Democracy is not
a little imminent.
Just what results the Depression will have on
the success of the' campaigns of both parties, ne
one can really tell but it is certain that DemocratE
will continue to attack the Republicans on their
actions concerning it while the Republicans will
await the results of their socialistic policy in hav-
ing the federal government take over many of the
unprecedented responsibilities in an attempt tc
alleviate conditions.
Economic conditions are frequently issues of
election campaigns and the party out of power has
usually made these issues a stepping stone to suc-
cess at the polls. It is entirely logical, then, tc
expect a Democratic victory on this score alone.
However, there are too many other forces such as
internal dissatisfaction, unharmonious organiza-
-tion, splits on other issues and a poor choice of a
candidate to venture a definite statement. It is
clearly seen, on the question of issues, that if the
Democratic party does not make any wrong moves
it has a powerful weapon in the Depression and
with it may be able'to again sweep into office after
fourteen years of being on the outside looking in.
MUSIC NOTES
We learn from an announcement of the Ann
Arbor Chamber Music society that the fourth andI
final concert on its year's program will be the London
String Quartet which will appear next Thursday
night in Lydia Mendelssohn theatre.
The local chamber music society has taken upon
itself quite a bit of responsibility, for this type ofI
musical presentation cannot possibly be a financialj
success unless the organizations obtained are cheapt
enough to enable the club to get by (which they haec
not been). Chamber music has never been the mosl
popular form of musical presentation, and, in fact.!
is the least attractive from a box-office viewpoint
It is, however, the most perfect form, and naturalIN
enough, like all perfect things, is little appreciated.
Countless chamber music societies have failee
because of the fact that the uncolored and unindivid--
ual character of the string quartet have not brought
in well-filled audiences to pay for expenses. The loca;
organization is to be commended, however, in bring-
ing good, if few, chamber music concerts for the
notoriously insatiable thirst for music which Ann
Arbor seems to have. The recitals have never been
what one would call financial successes but people
who.really go to hear music for it's sake alone atten&
and as yet they have prevented any rumors of liquid.
ation.
The London String quartet, better than most.
which means that it has managed to blend four ex--
ceptionally good musicians into a colorless and per-
fectly blended group, is composed of John Penning-
ton, first violin; Thomas Petre, second violin; Willian:!
Primrose, viola and C. Warwick-Evans, violoncello.
The quartet is well-known to music-lovers all over
the country, having appeared almost everywhere o-
its ten transcontinental tours of North America. It
175 London appearances prove its popularity ir.
England and concerts in other European countriec-
have received no small notice.
All four in the organization are as well-known a;
the quartet which they make up. Pennington is a
noted pianist, and besides being concert-master at
Covent Garden held the same position for Anna
Pavlowa.
Thomas Petre is a former child prodigy of London
music schools while Warwick-Evans, taking a little
Mayer claims that such is not
true in the case of the present ex-
ecutive. He argues that Curtis
could point out that Hoover had
lived in England, was a British sub-
ject, a voter and a landowner be-
fore he returned to the United
States in 1920-eight years before
the Hoover boom. A Supreme Court
verdict might place Charles Curtis
as President of the United States.
Just a thought! And it might not
be necessary to think on it with the
presidential primaries under way.
The ballot offers the citizens an op-
portunity to change a number of
conditions. The auestion is wheth-
er they will realize it.
A logical viewpoint was aired on
the Senate floor a few days ago
with regard to the $125,000,000
Emergency Road Building Appro-
priation.
Senator Hiram Bingham (R.,
Conn.) argued that the apropria-
tion would be unjust because it
would unfairly apportion the mon-
ey among the states. Binghamcit-
ed the "allotment to Pennsylvania
would represent $5.26 per unem-
ployed person, while in Utah it
would be $110.97." This proved to
c a typical instance and served as
one of the many examples.
The sales tax has caused an audi-
ble rumpus in our government in
the last week. We believe that the
bill will pass but that it will under-
go modification.
With all the debate on the ques-
tion only two solutions have been
advanced to take its place. The
luxury tax and an increased income
i tax have been considered. The
luxury tax was shelved because it
was remembered that no one is
buying luxuries. The income tax
increase was discarded because it
is known that business is already
staggering under the depressing
conditions.
Canada has tested a , four per--
cent tax for years and found it
practical. A sales tax has aided sev-
eral of our states, several European
countries, and the Philippines. Cer-
! tainly we can endure a 21,, percent
tax in order to get our government
back on its feet.

versity when he begins his duties in

EDIITOIRAL COMMENT
Raymond Morin, a piano student, will share the
busy day of music March 31 with a recital Thursday
afternoon in Lydia Mendelssohn. Morin, who is re-I
garded as one of the better student pianists on the
campus, will be making his first appearance of the
year.
One of the final nnisical events before vacation
will take place April 3 when the University Sym-I
phony orchestra and Hanns Pick combine to offer'
a program in Hill auditorium. David Mattern will
conduct.
The Congressional Record, show-
ing in printed form the daily pro-
gram of the National Government,
costs $50.00 per page. About 1-6 of
the estimated 36,000 copies per day

A move is being made by Repre-
sentative Boylan of New York to
change the present publication and
to pattern it along the lines of a
newspaper.
