THE MICHIGAN DAILY A DAILY ,. _! 't! , "-7 the world. Japan is not and cannot be an iso- lated unit, apart from the family of nations. In- deed, she does not want to be. But such an in- cident as this emphasizes the fact that Japan is, for all her show of bravado, quite'dependent upon the rest of us. Had it not been for the prompt and willing help of western nations in many other catastrophies of history, Japanese people would have died by the millions. We would not begrudge them this aid, but we would like to point out the doctrine of reciproca- tion to them. Japan cannot go around with her nose in the air scorning the censure of the rest of the civilized world and then, in her hour of need, expect the world to come gladly to her rescue. The Golden Rule originated as a doctrine of Oriental philosophy, and it would be a good idea to take it back to the Orient and put it to ie inwork.

Michigan's Economists And Senator Vandenberg. A T A TIME like the present, when public confidence so obviously needs stimulation, it is unfortunate that there should be confusion about the meanings of cer- tin remedial banking proposals. Last week Professors Sharfman, Watkins, Grif- fin, Rodkey, and Paton formulated, broadcast, and forwarded to Washington, suggestions which they as professional economists believe might be of immediate aid to the alarming situation confronting the nation's banks. The cornerstone of their proposals was governmental guarantee of bank deposits. A few days later Senator Vandenberg broad- cast his ideas about what should be done. And again the word "guarantee" loomed large. Now Michigan's professors and Senator Van- denberg meant two entirely different things by this term. Careful listeners undoubtedly saw the difference, and were not confused. But it is to be feared that the general public is a bit muddled by what was said, Professors Sharfman, Watkins, Griffin, Rodkey, and Paton propose "immediate guarantee by the Federal Government of the deposits of all insti- tutions doing a commercial or savings bank busi- ness." Their thesis certainly appears to be rea- sonable. Persons in unaffected districts, they .argue, are bound to withdraw what savings they have as they see most of the nation's banks clos- ing. And persons in neither the affected nor the unaffected districts can be blamed in the least for refusing to deposit funds in institutions that nmight be closed while the ink on their receipts, so to speak, was still wet. The one remedy that apparently would stop this very understandable phenomenon would be guarantee by the govern- ment of all banking institutions. So much for the suggestion of our professors. Senator Vandenberg's proposal, on the other hand, would have very little to do with the imme- diate situation. What Senator Vandenberg of- fors is a mutual guarantee of time deposits, by the banks themselves, through a reserve fund sup- plied by them and administered by the govern- ment. The Senator's suggestion, which is of course very trite, appears sound. But the machinery it would necessitate as well as the restricted field to which it applies bars it from consideration as an immediate remedy. It is pretty much like a pro- posal for universal insurance made during an epi- demic. So 'the proposals are quite different, even though both have to do with "guarantee." Expect Much Of The Douglas Budget .. REAL evidence of concreteness in the imminent new deal is apparent in the appointment of Rep. Lewis Douglas as Di- rector of the Budget. The whole country wants, probably more than anythig else, to see the bud- get balanced. And Mr. Lewis has gone on record gas committed to a balance of the budget regard- less of the pain which that feat will inflict on certain heretofore privileged classes. Furthermore, we have the assurance of Arthur Krock, writing in the New York Times, that if Mr. Douglas "had not believed that Mr. Roosevelt knows the methods he has in mind, and intends to back them completely, he in the opinion of those who know him best, would never have left his place of growing importance in the House of Representatives for one of the two or three most difficult tasks in the next administration." One of the slashes that Mr. Douglas is sure to push will be in the Veterans' Administration. His home state, Arizona, has more veterans per capita than any other state in the union. In spite of this fact he voiced vehement criticism, through the past winter, of the Federal outlay for ex-soldiers. According to Mr. Krock he favors cutting $400,- 000,000 in this department-which would amount to almost a half of the reduction necessary to bal- ance the budget. No one can question the justice of such a cut. Most of the so-called "veterans" never saw service outside of training camps safely within the bor- ders of the United States.The billion dollars they receive has been decried by everyone from ex- President Hoover, Al Smith, and Newton D. Baker down. A partisan, tremendously effective lobby is the only explanation for the fact that veterans in this country receive many times more than those of any other country in the world. In a scene characterized by a Congressional ma- jority afraid to curtail this unjust extravagance, a shining exception has been Representative Douglas. His outspoken deprecation of the Vet- erans' Administration shows he has real courage, and augurs well for a brave and intelligent ful- fillment of his office-one of the most difficult in the whole Federal government. A Tribute To Franklin D. Roosevelt-... F RANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT, who took his oath of office yester- day, has one of the biggest jobs of reconstruction that ever faced an incoming president of the United States. How he will solve the problem that confronts him is problematical. However, the President has already passed one milestone in his promised new deal. He has gained the trust of the people. Exactly how he has ac- complished this is not known but it is known that he, like one of his predecessors that carried the same name, can mix and make friends with the common man. This is the single quality that was noticeably lacking in ex-President Hoover during his admin- istration and was, no doubt, to a great extent, responsible for his defeat. Let it be said for the retiring president, however, that he has shown an excellent attitude during the past three months in co-operating with Roosevelt. At the present time, the greatest tribute that one can pay the President is this: Although the economic condition of the coun- try can best be described as chaotic, although banking holidays have been declared in almost all of the states, the people are calm. They are tak- ing a very serious situation good humoredly. Because they feel sure that Franklin Delano Roosevelt will find a way out.

AT THE MAJESTIC "STRANGE INTERLUDE" * **ITS MAXIMUM APPEAL TO OTHER THAN A STUDENT AUDIENCE Nina Leeds.............Norma Shearer Ned ....... ................Clark Gable Samr.e............... Alexander Kirkland Charlie ................. Ralph Morgan Gordon .................. Robert Young Madeleine .......... Maureen O'Sullivan Eugene O'Neill, considered by many to be America's leading playwright, has given the world in "Strange Interlude" a tremendously powerful and appealing story, reinforced by a novel device known as the aside, which gains even added force on the talking screen because the lips of the char- acter don't move and so spoil the illusion of thought. As a psychological document, "Strange Inter- lude" concerns itself with a 30-year span in the life of one Nina Leeds (Norma Shearer), the daughter of a professor in a small eastern college. When her sweetheart is shot down in the war, her life becomes one of erotic desires, typified by her childless marriage to Sam-necessarily childless because of the hereditary insanity in his family through m a n y generations. Nina is slavishly adored by Charlie Marsden (Ralph Mor- gan) and is devotedly in lovef with Ned (Clark Gable). Under O'Neill's masterful pen the amazing possibilities which could accrue from these relationships were made into a pathetic tragedy, pyra- miding itself into a hopeless void capable of keeping Nina and Ned apart as if by steel bands. Of touching interest is NOPMA SHEARER Ralph Morgan's role of Charlie, who, as "dear old Charlie" is destined to remain in the background until, nearly a generation later, he is revealed to Nina as the most steadfast of the three men who fashioned her life. The web of deceit binding the characters to their tragic lives is one that could be broken apart at any time with one sentence. When the awe- inspiring words "You've struck your father" are finally uttered, it is more than significant that young Gordon fails to grasp their meaning. Thus living a lie is proven, in "Strange Interlude," to be a dull, heart-sickening duty after the first in- spired years are in shadows. O'Neill's masterpiece will be an event in your picture-going. To the more susceptible, it will bring many a tear. To others, it will bring the realization that they are witnessing something far removed from ordinary straight movie fare.

Just because you can't find a rhyme for "'beasts" do you think I'm going to palm stuff like that off on my readers? -K. S. March 1, 1933 Dear K.

II 1I i r 1 THE DISMISSAL BELL AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE- Nothing irritates students quite as much or as quickly as the habit of some professors to hold their classes three or four minutes after the dis- missal bell has rung, yet this is a prevalent fault among the members of our teaching staff. Either too engrossed in their subject to heed the closing signal or deliberately disregarding it, they lecture on while the members of the class collect their books and shuffle their feet. On the other hand, some professors adhere to the schedule and should be entitled to the courtesy of punctual attend- ance. Ten minutes is ample time to leave one class, cross the campus and prepare for another class, and often there are a few seconds for leisure. Any infringement on this ten-minute period naturally is resented by the students and some professors as well. An interesting point about this detainment is that inevitably it seems the professors prone to keep their classes from two to five minutes over- time are the ones who remark, "If you must come into this class late, you will be marked absent for * I JUNIOR GIRLS.
