THE MICHIGAN IAILY MICHIGAN DAILY. f1 \ 1 4. 174 I _ the new Congress. This is the deadlock which is certain to loom as March 4 approaches. The out-going republican administration, if unable to stop Democratic legislation as such with iLs unstable Senate control, still has control of the executive and might block bills because the meas-_ ures were advocated by Democrats. On the other hand, the Democrats appear to be determined to oppose Republican-Hoover economy bills be- cause, if too much economy is effected before March 4, there will be little opportunity for Roosevelt and the Democrats to carry out their election pledges, and obtain credit for budget- balancing. ,I than through hatred of the rich. Love is more productive of social trust than s hatred. Ga ndhism provides for every person a common daily form of social service to help directly toward creating a new social and economic order, namely, hand spinning and its associates. It also provides an immediate channel for the social good will of every one, without interfering with other forms of social service and a common bond between all groups and tends to heel the deepest of all social divisions between the rich and poor. Gandhism is evolved by an Indian mind and heart, and it is of the country's own self. Its con- cepts, symbolism and methods are cisely adapt- ed to the circumstances and habitual modes of feeling, thinking, and action of the great mass of the Indian people. -K. P. Idiculla.

THURSDAY, JA N. 5, 1933 If the Democrats have any genuine intent~on of putting into immediate effect the proposals in their platform, they will be forced to call this spe- cial session. Repeal of the 13th Amendment, a lowered tariff, unemployment relief, and their other pressing reforms, may be needed if the eco- nomic system, from which even the "new deal" party, cannot cut loose, is to' return to health without a shaking-up that will seriously impair its future existence. A question will also be answered by an extra .session, a question that has disturbed many voters whose ballots expressed their emotions rather than their convictions. They will have a pretty good indication within a few weeks of whether Frank- lin D. Roosevelt is merely a political figure, a per- sonification of the desire for a change, or whether he is a genuine leader with ideas. It has always been permissable during campaigns for candidates to speak in misty, though cleverly tinted, gener- alities. In a message to a friendly Congress, how- ever, if he does not present a concrete program, his supporters will know that they accomplished only one thing-the defeat of his opponent. Franklin Roosevelt can have little excuse for failure with his control of Congress. Financial System And That in the future you'll 'enjoy laundry service of the finest sort. . . that you'll no longer worry about torn seams and lost buttons . . that you'll send your laundry to the best place in town,. here, of course. MOE LAUNDRY He'll make it I ternities Shold id Together-.. r j A LPHA CHI RHO's closing, the re- sult of financial difficulties, marks departure of the first fraternity from the npus this year. From all indications, however, will not be the last. In his report to the esident, Dean Bursley said: "It has been appa- it for the last few years that there is not ough available fraternity material on the cam- s to support adequately the 60 general frater- les with chapters here. The sooner a num- r of the weaker ones give up their charters, e better it will be for them and the remaining >ups.", t'his is, indeed, a well-supported argument. It s often been said that elimination of some of weaker houses on campus would strengthen remaining ones and, consequently, the frater- y system at Michigan as a whole. H. Seger fer, accountant for fraternities, warned the eek letter organizations earlier in the year that :er present conditions there were too many ternities onthe Michigan campus. He also in- iated that a number would. be forced off the npus before June. The Interfraternity Council, lizing the gravity of the financial situation, t fall was discussing measures to prevent ad- ional fraternities from organizing on campus en the Senate Committee on Student Affairs nsed a ruling covering the point. / any of the weaker houses could prevent the ninent disaster by banding together and form- new, combined organizations. The resultant ups would have the tradition and prestige, if r, of more than one house and would, of rse, be stronger. Such a solution would at st save the fraternities from the future appa- .t humiliation of "giving up the ghost" alto- her. [he aid of the University, however, is also es- tial at this point. The fraternities have served 'ery beneficial purpose on the Michigan cam- as far as the institution is concerned, and cials, so far, have been willing to co-operate, in repeal of the deferred pledging system. But the Dean's office to report that there are too ny fraternities for the present freshman ma- al and, in the same report, to advocate the lding of dormitories, does not seem quite fair. h exceptions, freshmen may not live in fra- nity houses tuntil their sophomore years. Per- >s this ruling is responsible, in part, for the orted "need for freshman dormitories." Vith the present financial status of the Univer- , it will not be possible to construct dormi- .es for some time. And any such step would ce additional obstructions in the path of the ;ernity system. The natural obstructions should allowed to remain perhaps. We need fewer fra- iities. But once the weak and unnecessary s have been weeded out, there should be no ficial barriers to 'the progress and welfare of, se remaining. Ins ll's Financial College. T OSE WHO HAVE found fault with the collapse of the financial empire of Samuel Insull may be roughly divided into two groups. The first has criticized those as- pects of the present financial system that per- mitted the disastrous mistakes to be made. The second group, which has been swelled by news- paper ballyhoo, levels its reproaches, mostly out- spoken and vituperative, at the personality of Mr. Insull. The second group is furnished food for thought in a recent statement given to the press by Owen D. Young, whose integrity in national and inter-- national finances is above question. Mr. Young maintains that the most that can be said in crit- icism of Mr. Insull is "that he had too much con- fidence in his country and in his own companies." Those who have come to think of the holding ,ompany "emperor" as a sort of stony-hearted, .idow-and-orphan-robbing monstrosity imbued Nith a lust for money soaked in blood have un- .oubtedly been amazed to find that the impec- ;able Mr. Young is of a rather different opinion. :t of course goes without saying that Mr. Young is In a position to know whereof he speaks. Samuel Insull dik mwaie mistakes-mistakes that other people are paying for. Mr. Young does not hesitate to concur in this. By last February, he says, he had come to the conclusion that Mr. Insull was "financially irresponsible." "Yet," he continues, "his steps were sound at every point if you assume, as he did, either that the depression was temporary or that his operating stocks were worth much more than market price." The logical implication which at once forces itself before the mind is that something must be wrong with at least certain aspects of the present economic legislation. In his statement Mr. Young had nothing to say on this score, yet if his argument is pursued to its logical conclusion he obviously must agree. For a system which permits an honest man to erase not only the earnings of his customers but his own as well is imperfect. Whether or hot the system can be improved is as yet unknown. That may be the reason for Mr. Young's silence on the point. Innumerable sug- gestions are constantly made, some of them pat- ently fadistic, some apparently honest and seem- inglyreasonable. Whether this country will ever adopt any of them, and whether, if adopted, they would work, remains to be seen.

GANDISM- RELIGION AND POLITICS To The Editor: Gandhism is a co-ordination of religion and politics. Hitherto we had religion for talk and politics for action diametrically opposite to each other. I remember a missionary in India, who, when I questioned him once about the inconsistency of Christian countries' preachings and their political actions, declared religion and politics do not go together. Of course there cannot be any other answer for one who is seeking for a livelihood only, and who submits to having his actio3s con- trolled by a maliciously motivated government. Gandhism brings religion and politics together so that one cannot exist without the other, a practice of politics being embodied in the religion. Gandhism is having as its motive the service of the common man and the producing of more so- cial and economic justice and equality than has generally existed in the world, and it calls for devoted hard work from every one. Gandhi leads a life of austere simplicity, and thus,- as well as his work for the common good, has created trust among the common people. Gandhism is operating by tending to create sources and modes of trust and credit outside the money system. It enables the mass to feel its own Four stars means extraordinary; three stars very goo}d; two stars good: one star just another picture; no stars keep away from it. AT THE MAJESTIC "THIRTEEN WOMEN" ** EXPURGATED YET CONVINCING PICTURIZATION OF A NOVEL Tiffany Thayer's novel, "Thirteen Women," was very well deodorized in the making of the screen version. The, entire "illicit" interest was cut, and anything on the borderline was soft-pedalled. Nevertheless, you will find "Thirteen Women" an entertaining evening diversion, with its admir- able cast, thrilling plot, and sustained interest. Mention should be made of the restraint used in the casting of the girl chums, who, upon grad- uation from finishing school, fnd their lives in- separably and fatally linked. Irene Dunne, J111 Esmond, Kay Johnson, and the others are out of the flowery debutante class so well popularized in the past year, and they lend a pleasing touch. Ricardo Cortez, the dark young man who is also modelled on anything but prep-school lines, does well as the detective sergeant Ngho finally is instrumental in running to earth the diabolical plotter who so -nearly wrecked the girls' lives. "So nearly" is putting it rather mildly; rather the destruction proceeds to the point where you can- not shrug away your goose flesh and think calm- ly that the principal is safe from anything and everything. There is little love interest in the picturization of "Thirteen Women,' which is another outstand- ing variation from Mr. Thayer's book. The mother-for-son love alone is left, Thrilling moments: The hours immediately pre- ceding one of the weird deaths; Irene Dunne's young son reaching for his birthday present-a "rubber ball" leaded with explosive; Myrna Loy's mental powers over the chauffeur; the astrologer (another character triumph for C.^Henry Gor- don.) Added attractions: Vince Barnett slapstick comedy-so-so; Hearst News; retakes from "The Desert Song," featuring Alexander ,r y and Ber- nice Claire-crudely done; Silly Symphony in color-appealing. "Fast Life," William Haines pseudo-thriller which played at the Michigan Sunday through Wednesday was not reviewed yesterday because of inadequate space. I saw the sequences, obviously amusing to the majority of the audience, with a racng fan who has seen Gar Wood's races and known Mr. Wood for the past ten years. He pro- nounced the racing scenes "laughable"-and not from the studio's point-of-view. Naturally they were taken in the studio in tubs of water, which, when added to the weird craft which made "over 120 miles-per-hour," produced one of the familiar Hollywood melanges which have the kids squeal- ing with delight and older people groaning with pain at the serene confidence of the producers in the American public's well-known willingness to pay for anything. -G.
