Contributors are asked to be brief, confining themselves to less than 300 words if possible.f HITLER, According to an editorial in The Daily of Mayd 18 Hitler "today occupies a more important place f in the international limelight than he has everf held." This may be granted if the statemente means merely that he is in the limelight. How-a ever, if it means that he is more esteemed and t respected, I wholly disagree. Of all the living men occupying a high position he is the most hated. Is the world to forget, because of a speech by an upstart, .that his followers-a lot of them row- dies-have beaten, tortured, maimed, killed and imprisoned thousands and thousands of their fel-.. low-Aryans? Is the world to forget that the Hitler regime has caused starvation and suicides of other thousands of non-Aryans, that thousands2 and thousands have fled Germany in order not to1 fall into the hands of a cold, ruthless unscrup- ulous individual, in short that Hitler has accomp- lished his purpose with bestial cruelty? In order to become acquainted with what happened in Germany since the advent of Hitlerism, I refer the reader to the files of the'New York Nation, the New Republic, the Living Age, the World To- morrow, an article in Liberty of May 6, the Man- chester Guardian, the London Times, etc., etc. Now this same fellow Hitler makes a speech, declaring that war is unthinkable. But who is so naive as to place any reliance upon the words of a man who has neither soul nor conscience? This is what appeared in the New York Times of May 16 (written from Berlin) by a thoroughly reliable correspondent, Birchall: "Throughout Germany 3,000,000 able-bodied German men of military age marched and stood in military for- mations for eight or twelve hours in the great labor demonstration on May 1, looking for the most part fresh and untired at the end. In this mass were 600,000 uniformed drilled and trained Nazi storm troops and 400,000 equally well-trained Stahlhelmers, composed of younger veterans of the World War."--All these men need is arms- re-arming---in order to start another great war and all the speeches of Hitler and his henchmen are just so many words. In other words, his speech settles nothing. The civilized world is against the Hitler regime-and nothing can change its atti- tude until Hitlerism is completely wiped out. Incidentally your editorial asks "Why should the nations of the world be concerned ii France's security?" The answer to that question is very simple: It is because of the greatness of French civilization. In addition to .being great in i era-. ture, art, and science, the French firmly beleve, as we do, that every hxuman being has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness re- gardless of race, religion, or colbr. There is n0 country in the world where there is more freedom than in France, whereas in the Hitlerized Ger- many of the day not a shred of freedom has been left. The whole country is shivering with fear and the Germans have become a people of slaves. I subjoin a passage from a recent speech by Mr. Owen Young: "I venture the statement that the lamentable things happening in Germany today have their seeds- in unfortunate clauses of the Treaty of Versailles. But Germany will learn, too, ithat she cannot disfranchis&= many hundreds of her citizens, among whom may be counted the oldest families, her most productive students, and her most effective and loyal Workers both in peace and war, by any ordinance or decree." This means-I am writing for students-that Germany may rightfully complain of injustice on the part of the Allies with referience to the Treaty of Versailles. On' the other hand the Hitler regime has made itself guilty of the grossest injustice to- wards hundreds of thousands of their own fellow citizens. After that, what right has an utterly un- just government to complain about injustice? Down with Hitler! rop in a 'chute.'" Again I crasles, in an ttempt to stop a runaway;lae. His berth with the air' crets is filled by his ounger brother (extremely well-played by Tom Brown) who of course falls in love with Sally, ittle realizing that she and Dick have, ili the past, been rather intimate-to say the least. After Dick mends, he joins ,the brother and girl again, only to find that they have married. Off he rushes to Mexico, South: A.merica, China, and all points south and west-a broken-hearted sol- dier of fortune, losing "an eye here, a rib there, and an arm or leg elsewhere." In the meantime, Tom has become a transport lier and finds himself transferred to Havana. As would be expected, Dick happens to land in Ha- vana, just after Tom has left on a two-day trip. His happy reunion with Sally follows. Is it their fault if they find they are still in love with each other? What if they are in-laws; after all, this is only a movie. But-another storm has arisen at the crucial moment and Tom's plane is reported down in the heavy gulf seas. The rescue by Dick, the landing at Havana just as his plane runs out of gas, his subsequent fare- well as he leaves the young married couple-all follow in short order. And the landing, by the way, which is managed only after the police and civic officials have lined up all available automo- biles at the airport, is one of the silliest shots we have ever witnessed on the screen. A dense fog prevents the fliers from landing until the brilliant airport official directs a unified sounding of horns from the assembled cars. Unique, to say the least, though a bit far-fetched. _ - -E. J.

Except for a different setting and a lareaudience, this after- noon might have been 'piece-speaking" day at the Little Red Schoolhouse. The "boys" do have such a good time playing togctpher. They play very well, too. An excess of goodness is sometimes a bit cloying. It would be interesting to see if their music wouldn't gc over just as well, in the usual conception of a pure and simple art of sound. From such a beautiful indication as the Bach Concerta, one is imcliled to think that it would. But all of it w 'a lot of fun, particularly "Wasting Time," whichA" vaS,-played with a fine sense for the dramatic nuances. The Sibelius First Symphopy has an emotional vitality that sustains it through the lengths that become, in the works that follow it, rather tedious- ly long. It suggests an interesting comparison with' the Russian Tschaikovsky, somewhat through the melodic structures, the solidifying use of the brass choir, and the pounding rhythmic effects, but more by -its expression of .the emotional charac- teristics of his race. The best of Tschaikovsky is national-just as Sibelius is at his best writing with the, inspiration of his native folk songs in ailiriid. ".:.; ' Because of' this duality, the John Powell "Nat- chez- on-the-Hill,"- a setting of three Virginian country dance turies, was a particularly appro- priate balance for the better half of the pro- gram. "The War-Whoop," "The Hog-Eyed Man," and the title tunle ,are neLddies whose catching rhythms, immense vitality and historical signifi- cance should be an inducement for further re- search among the folk music which really belongs to us. Too long has American inspiration come from other lands. Composers like Powell, Harris, and Charles Ruggles are showing that there is a wealth of musical material situated within the barren bounds of the "richest country in the world." The Cowerby ballad is characteristically pleas- ant music, showing the emotional refinement that is always evident no matter how full he may score. In comparison tothe Bach concerto, which is chamber, music in its highest form, this work seems insignificant. But it was a colorful and in- teresting setting of the "Estmcre" legend which embodied the pianos into the orchestral texture in an unusually skillful manner. Justice And The Tuition Fee... M UCH consternation is expressed in some quarters at the discovery that only $65 of each tuition fee is spent for academic purposes. Criticism is levelled at the disbursement of the remainder by the Health Service, the Union and the athletic plant. We believe that this criticism is a wholly na- tural and understandable reaction immediately following the acquisition of this information, but we are of the opinion that careful consideration of the expenditures must lead to the conclusion that they are worthwhile and can fairly be re- quired. Consider them: The $15 required of us for the maintenance ofJ the Health Service may be regarded as insurance. The adage, better to have it -nd not need it than to need it and not have it, is a cogent argument for its existence. Suffice it to say that an arrange- ment whereby all members of a community may by the payment of a nominal sum be guaranteed adequate medical protection and care at all times is one of the goals of every social worker in the world. The $10 fee exacted by the Union is criticized chiefly because many things sold there are as costly as or costlier than elsewhere. Those wh9 advance this argument overlook the fact that a number of attractive services are offered in the Union for which no charge is made. The Univer- sity's most comfortable library, containing among other things the most complete assortment of popular magazines on campus, is among these. The Union receives approximately $25,000 from students each year, and disburses more than $40,- 000 in student salaries. Thus in addition to its function as a club it serves as a genuinely so- cializing influence in the college community. Only $5 of the Union fee is used for mainten- ance, the rernainin $5 being employed for bond retirement. Within two years these bonds will have been paid, with the result both that prices for services will be reduced and that the annual1 student fee will be lowered. Add this to what has already been said and most students will agree that the Union deserves what it gets. The $7:50 paid int o the athletic fund is justified by the multtude o privileges to which it entitles one. That an inceluingly T:hrge number of stu- dents have little e for a seasou ticket to Mich- igan's athletic cotsts is no a'men t againt payment of this fee. tr makes participation in virtually every form of athletic activity possible to University suet:; to a de-ree eualled by few and surpassed by u other insitutions of higher learning.

Levi (Born i Germany) "MERRY MOUNT"- Editorial Comment FAVORABLE VIEWS OF HITLER'S ADDRESS Walter Lippnnaun: "We have hleard ofce niore, through the fog and din, the hysteria and ,the animal passions of a great revolution, the au- thentic voice of a genuinely civilized people." New York Times: "Let it be gladly admitted that the Chancellor's speech has done much to appeask the spirit of hostility stirred in other countries by his previous harangues and- actions," CorncH Daily Sun: "The Nazis have done far more than was expected of them; it is now up to the other haoins to throw away the arms of the world-if, after all, they are seriously inter- ested in the idea." Ann Arbor Daily News: "Had not Hitler chosen his words carefuly, there is reason to believe that a neighbor of Germany's would have acted quickly to precipitate a crisis. He did choose them care- fully." Screen Reflections Four stars means exlraordlnary; tirce stars very good; two star good; one star just another picture; no stars keep away fronui it. Opera, because of the restrictions of its form, can never be great iusic. Wagner caie the clos est to -ppioaehlnga syntliesis; of toine an the words of an operatic libretto but the result was not opera-he himself termed it a "music drama." "Merry Mount" in this sence, is significant. This is one of the few. American operas to be written from an original text. "Peter Ibbetson," "The King's Henchman" and "The Emperor Jones" had all appeared in various literary forms before they were set to music. "Merry Mount" proves conclu- sively that opera in English is not only a possi- bility, but a success-provided the subject is a na- tive one. The poetic and expressive libretto of Mr. Stokes has been combined with Dr. l han son's at- tractive music into a work that, if we cannot pr- dict its lasting fame, will play an outstanding part in the development of American musical art. As an example -of a successful type of the oper- atic form the Italian opera has gained an immor- tal popularity chiefly because of the sensuous beauty of its melodies. But Dr. Ha-nson's opera is based upon subtle rhyt-hmi(C valriatioJS. Rhythm is the most primitive of all the elements of music and the one that has the fewest possibilities of development. For that reason one doubts the last- ing' qualities of its highly attractive music. Still thiere arc sonic thrilling chord structures and hal' "onic progressionls, particularly in the chorus parts, and the chief idea of the work, the 'Mari- gold" thieme, is hauntingly beautiful. As to the performance, the Choral Union was the st ar of the occasion. Some of the full choruses, partieularly those of the Puritans, were breath taking. Unfortunately, Mr. Thomas, who has been I
