ISTRESSING information for hon- est students: reports from local merchants, banks, and real estate men point strongly to the conclusion that not a few fra- ternity men are taking advantage of depression to welch on their debts.- The times are such that in numerous cases bills really cannot be met, at least not in their entirety. Most business men have shown themselves willing to deal leniently with those who cannot for the time being meet the-ir obligations; to impose upon this generosity is small, dishonest, and in the end will gain nothing.. Every fraternity bill that is not payed means higher prices for every house. In addition it sub- jects the University to criticism, just or otherwise, for permitting the condition to exist. Further than this, chapter members who dodge bills they are well able to pay hurt themselves quite as mnuch or more than they do others. For it is not pleasant to live with persons whose action is open to suspicion of disloyalty and shirking, and the welchers are bound to find themselves sooner or later living in a disagreeable atmosphere. So think twice before you say, "Sorry, but I'm afraid I can't pay it." New -Procedure For Leosaor . . . A NOVEL SUGGESTION for legis- lative procedure has come from Speaker Bradley, of the Michigan House of Rep- resentatives, who proposes establishment of a leg- islative council to meet between regular sessions of the Legislature for the purpose of compiling a program and gathering pertinent information for the use of the body when it reconvenes. Speaker Bradley's suggestion is the result of the appalling inefficiency he has witnessed at Lansing during the present session. What he has seen from his presiding position in the House has forced him to the conclusion'that nothing, includ- ing a group of legislators, can"'get very far with- out some sort of a plan. World conferences invariably open with a defi- nite agenda. The problems before them are far too delicate and involved to permit other than the most orderly procedure in their consideration. How well Speaker Bradley's proposal would work in practice can only be guessed. The value of a legislative council appointed by an expiring Legislature would obviously be du- bious. The short history of the present Legis- lature, ho't ever, can leave little doubt that some method of eliminating undirected discussion is pretty badly needed. If Speaker -Bradley's sug- gestion is not followed as it now stands, perhaps it will at least open discussion leading to ultimate reform. since first there was such an institution as the; stage, but it is much to be doubted that any play- wright has ever done such a complete job of piling them all up into one lilac-scented heap and kick- ing them into a particulaly ridiculous cocked hat as Benn Levy did when he wrote "Springtime for Henry." There have been risque comedies by the thou- sands; there have been naughty farces that played on every imaginable aspect of the inevitable theme. But there probably has never been a com- edy as completely bawdy and as devastatingly critical of romantic love as this nose-thumbing burlesque that did not leave one with a slight trace of Mae West's evil (bad taste in the mouth). "Springtime for Henry," which opened yester- clay afternoon as the second play on Robert Hen- derson's Dramatic Season, is, first of all, fran- tically funny; secondly it is charmingly smart; and thirdly it is completely disrespectful of moral virtue. More important than all those things, to us at least, is the fact that this play-granted that it be bawdy, risque, naughty, what you will-is so completely light and giddy that not its sourest critic could accuse it of being anything but nice. It seems that Mr. Jelliwell's married life is not always entirely happy. Oddly enough, those mo- ments coincide exactly with the periods when Mr. Dewlip is NOT carrying on an illicit affair with his wife. And there is the story, if you can call it one. Mr. Dewlip, bosom pal ever since "lower third" of Mr. Jelliwell, has, apparently over a consider- able period of time, been paying THAT kind of attentions to Mrs. Jelliwell. A new secretary, who is "just terribly keen on the decent thing," changes all that. Mr. Dewlip stops drinking; he stops gambling; he stops being a social parasite. But most important of all he stops paying the proper-improper, if you prefer-attentions to Mrs. Jelliwell. And so everybody blows up. Finally the hardy Dewlip sees the error of his ways and agrees once more, partly for Jelliwell's sake, but mainly for his own, to become the normal old rake he once was. "Was it worth it?" he barks. "No, by God!" Tom Powers is Mr. Dewlip, Robert Loraine is Mr. Jelliwell, Rose Hobart is Mrs. Jelliwell, and Violet Heming is Miss Smith, the "decent thing" secretary. So of course the acting is superb. Only Robert Loraine is unknown here; we will pause only to remark that he is a comedian of excep- tional and at times overwhelming gifts.

Cotribulorsare asked to be brief, confining themselves to less than 300 words if possible RETROGRESSION IN GERMANY To The Editor: Mr. WEHausen's attempt to defend the Nazis makes one "WEH ums Herz" twoeful at heart). He betrays ignorance at the start by implying that Jews are Aryans. Individual cases of maltreatment of negroes in our country are certainly disgrace- ful but the lynchings are conducted by irrespon- sible mobs and the Ku Klux Klan, whereas in Germany the GOVERNMENT systematically per- secutes Jews; even if the government claims that it does not desire the beatings and murders, it must be remembered that Hitler and his clan since the inception of the Nazi movement have inflamed the storm-troops who are committing these outrages; they are therefore morally re- sponsible. By liberating the four Nazis who had been condemned to death for murdering a com- munist in Breslau last summer, Hitler has sanc- tioned murder as a political weapon against the 48 per cent of the population which remained sane. Americans can best picture present condi- tions in Germany by imagining what would hap- pen in the United States if the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan became president of our coun- try and would replace the governors of the 48 states by his henchmen. Mr. Wehausen (who I hear is an excellent stu- dent) would oblige critical Americans by answer- ing the following specific questions: 1. Is it not true that President Von Hinden- burg, elected with the votes of the Socialdemo- cratic and Center parties, broke his solemn oath to uphold the Weimar Republican Constitution when he, little by little, permitted Von Papen to trample on this constitution and finally turned all power over to Hitler who boasts of the com- plete annihilation of the constitution? If a private citizen broke his oath in this manner he would be ccnsidered dishonorable; will not future genera- tions of Germans be deeply ashamed that this broken pledge marked the "revival" of the so- called "German Spirit"? 2. Is it not true that Jews owed their positions of leadership to superior intelligence and dili- gence? Is it not despicable and cowardly for Ger- man nationalism which feels itself incapable of defeating the French, the Poles and other "en- emies" to vent their wrath of impotence on a small, unarmed minority within their borders- the Jews? 3. Has not Hitler proved himself very harmful to the very aims of nationalism by making Ger- many's position much worse than it was under Kaiser Wilhelm? No nation is sincerely friendly to Germany now and in many countries a boycott has' set in; even Austria, the one reliable ally of the last decades, has been alienated by the boorish tactics of Nazi leaders. 4. Hitler failed to pass the entrance-examina- tion of the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, is a poorly educated man, and has less knowledge of economics than hundreds of stude'nts on our cam- pus have. Does not the fact that such a "low- brow" can make himself dictator of highly edu- cated Germany show that a wave of mass-insan- ity has seized considerable portions of the Ger- man population? "Delusions of grandeur" is the disease according to a New York professor. not forget that Hitler has insulted and robbed Einstein, discharged numerous leading professors, including Nobel prize winners; and that Ger- nany's leading painter, Lieberman, has resigned. The fanaticism and barbarism which now has gained full sway in Germany, expressing itself in childish burning of literature, concerns every thinking person in America. Japanese militarism and Hitlerism must be at- tacked by the one weapon at the command of each individual: a persistent boycott. Raw silk is Japan's economic life blood and represents 90 per cent of all Japanese exports to the United States. Therefore we should only buy non-Japanese silk. Forty per cent of Japan's foreign trade goes to the United States and thirty-six per cent to China. Thus, with our assistance, 76 per cent of Japanese foreign trade can be suspended and her militarists compelled to submit to the decisions of the League of Nations and to the Stimson doctrine. Detailed information concerning the anti-Jap- anese boycott can be obtained from the Amer- ican Council for Non-co-operation with Aggressor Nations, Hotel Ambassador, Park Avenue at 51st Street, New York City. -A Pacifist. IN RE MICIIIGAMUA Have just been disturbed for the third night by the howling of what would in March look like a group of respectable young men. May and the exam period are the signals for these gentlemen to have conferred on them the honor of "he who can make the most noise" or membership in that venerable society-Michigamua. The leaders of this diabolical tribe take special pleasure in send- ing these young "braves" into the thick of the studying campus with directions that if a certain standard of noise-making is not reached, member- ship will be refused-but if the shouting reaches approved proportions titles of "horse-in-the- throat," "blue-in-the-face," and "paint-in-the- eyes" will be granted--truly a noble organization. May I suggest to these ingenious leaders that there are excellent voice-treating facilities in the many woods surrounding Ann Arbor-not more than seven or eight miles distant. -Maurice Methner, '34. Editorial Comment THE WORLD'S FAIR- ANOTHER ANGLE Within a short while the World's Fair at Chi- cago will open its gates with all appropriate cere- mony. Thousands will flock to the midwest metro- polis on the shores of Lake Michigan and there will see on display the wonders and achievements of science and industry. From all reports, no ex- pense has been spared that a dramatic pageant of the scientific improvement of the world may be effectively shown. This gigantic spectacle of the world's techno- logical advancement will be staged at a time when almost every major nation is wrestling with the task of reconstructing its economic system. From all appearances, these same scientific and indus- trial advancement which will be on display in Chicago have materially furthered the cause of the world's economic breakdown. Yet no sensible person would advise the wholesale scrapping of luxuries and improvements which scientific ad- vancement has brought. Thinking people do recognize, however, the necessity for intelligent and far-seeing industrial control and planning which will make for a more equitable distribution of the fruits of scientific advancement.

This word im- practical may be used to dismiss a multitude of embarrassing ideas. It is used to cover a timidity of experimental activities in governmental and social fields. Moreover, because political theories are in the fields of the intangible they cannot be displayed at fairs and shows. Perhaps the better- ment of society as a whole suffers on that score. -University Daily Kansan, TIE UP THE COUNTRY? Hopes that the railroads--along with other great industries of the nation would soon begin to see the light of recovery were rudely upset yester- day by the announcement that the roads would ask the railway labor organizations to agree to an- other cut. Despite increased car loadings and reports of heavier shipments of all kinds of goods, the iron horses are still pulling pitifully small trains. Ex- cept for a few comparatively small, rich roads of the east, most of the railroads are still running in the red. Deficits, which have reached alarming proportions during the last dark years, continue to pyramid. The labor groups, of course, look upon the pro- posal for an additional cut as preposterous. Said A. F. Whitney, chairman of the Railway Labor Executives' association, "-We will tie up this en- tire country before we will accept a one penny cut in wages. They (the railroads) are not going to cut wages, and we're not going to permit any more deflationary moves because we're down to bed rock now." But that is the traditional attitude of the rail- way labor unions. It is highly probable that they will be forced to agree to a cut after several months of time and a great deal of money has been wasted in heated conferences. The nation is becoming used to that procedure. The cut is probably necessary and will probably be effected. From that point on it will be the duty of the railroads to band together with all their strength in support of the president's reorganiza- tion program. In that lies their only present hope of salvation. The railroads will not fail because the nation will not 'allow them to fail. But they must and will be reoraanized.
