THOMAS CAREY, pastor of St.' Thomas Catholic church, is one man who keeps his promise. Some time before his death "Railroad Jack," the quaint character known to thousands of Michigan alumni as the sel-styled "history expert," asked Father Carey to "take care of him" if anything happened. The priest promised that he would. The request was made rather lightly but when Railroad Jack died Monday at Coldwater and no one claimed his body, Father Carey remembered his promise. That Railroad Jack should have been buried somewhere in an obscure pauper's grave would have been unlifting for the man who has given' so much color .to the atmosphere of Ann Arbor for he past 20 years. Jack was entitled to an hon- ored grave in the city which had known him so long. And Father Carey rendered just that ser- vice to the "history expert." Geneva pledged to accomplish but one thing, arms equality. Anything less than that would mean failure. The establishment of arms equality is one of the cardinal points in the Nazi platform. Hitler attained the office he now holds largely because he promised the German people he would fight to the death for the establishment of this equality. The German people will not condone his failure., It is said in many quarters: "What can Germany' do?" It can do one thing and that is to wreak the disarmament conference. Even if the provisions of the treaty of Versailles, have the force of law on the German nation, the provisions of a treaty not yet born certainly' cannot have such force. Germany can prevent the adoption of any plan of general disarmament simply by refusing to acceed to it unless her demands are granted. She will in- sist upon the granting of these demands and she has a just reason for doling so. Will the disarm- ament conference succeed? The answer lies with France.

NIGHT EDITOR: GEORGE VAN VLECK CBS-A Judas To Newspapers... - T IS WITH mingled feelings that newspapermen read of the re- ce.t d e c i s i o n of the Columbia Broadcast- ing System to inaugurate a "news service", and so enter into direct competition with press as- sociations gathering material for newspapers. Some editors.- those who have given almost un- limited Publicity.-space to radio programs and to the CBS - will rage; some - those who have not wasted so much lineage on radio programs, and those who are gifted with an unusually well-de- veloped sense of humor - will laugh; and finally, many editors who have a true non-partisan con- cern for the accurate and complete reporting of the vital happenings of the day will regret that such a thoroughly incompetent news sourceas the CBS will be depended upon by superficial scan- ners, who,, at most, can give 10 minutes a day to a study of ourent affairs. The first (and we believe the only of news re- poting. Advantage the radio can hope to attain 0ver the fiewspaper is speed. That the radio can beat the press with the news, in certain isolated instances which radio believes "important" en- ough to report, was conclusively proved when the national hook-ups scooped every reported with the pew of the attempted assassination of President RooseveltBut this flash reporting of the gunfire was hastily presented, innacurate, and abominably told. But with reservations, the newspaper will concede the speed advantage to radio. Next might be listed the vital factor of com- pleteness. Radio considers its time extremely val- uable, land news broadcasts are limited. So where the newspaper can give a column, the radiorator can give perhaps 30 seconds. And his 30 secondds' discourse will not "take," because the benefits ac- cruing from re-reading are lost. Faithfulness? The radio will fall down time and time again on news events which the average man insists on having reported for him. Local events will be slighted for the spectacular element which lends itself to the untrained eye of the radio *Iewshawk. A corollary to this objection is ob- ious: The radio is not present with its news hen you want it. How many people can endure radio plugged in all the time. We have yet to evaluate the most obnoxious and altogether disgusting associate of a radio system advertising. The advertising in a newspaper is there to be read if you wish. It is usually rigidly censored, and objectionable material is deleted. Not so the radio's. The radio's Century of Prog- 'ess from the medicine man, minstrels, and Nwamp-Root of 1833 is recorder as a Century of Standing Still. Strong stomachs indeed are neces- sary to weather the blast of "news," advertising, and "music" such as greets the ear of the dinner-I time radio fan. Jack made hundreds of friends during his life- time among the student body and the residents of the city but they were too large and heterogene- ous a group to render him a last service. Many of them had gone to far parts of the world. They owe a debt of gratitude to Father Carey for doing what they could not do. The crowds which had listened to the memory expert's harangues were not present at the simple burial ceremony. A mere handful of 30 persons were present at the last rites. The students whom he had entertained were not there. But if Jack knew of the disposal which had been made of his remains, he would have been satisfied for one friend had not forgotten him. We take this opportunity of paying our last tri- bute to a beloved figure and our thanks in the name of the student body and the alumni of the University to Father Carey.

DISARMAMENT DEPENDS ON FRANCE To the Editor: - Professor Slosson's lecture on disarmament Tuesday night was impressive in that the speaker remained on realistic ground throughout the dis- cussion, departing from the idealistic fancies which characterize the speeches at convocations of this type. The difficulties which would attend any approach at a solution of the armament prob- lem were thoroughly surveyed. Where Professor Slosson remained on ground of fact, I can find no issue to take with him. At one point in his talk, however, he made an inter- pretation of an established fact with which I can- not agree and with which, I am sure, many per- sons who have a knowledge of the situation, would be inclined to take issue. The fact, in this case, lies in demand by the German delegation for arms equality. Aa Professor Slosson said, Germany is not interested in disarmament or re-armament, as such but only in a re-establishment of the bal- ance of power. At this point, Professor Slosson said that the granting of arms equality to Germany, is impos- sible and that, unless the Germany delgation is willing to conciliate on this point, "the delegates might as well go back home - and get ready for the next war.." What is this insurmountable obstacle which stands in the way of granting Germany arms equality? Nothing but the opposition of France.' Why should Germany be asked to conciliate? Why not ask France to do that? If someone is to make a sacrifice in the interests of world peace, why should it not be France as well as Germany? If one looks at he problem from veiwpoint of jus- tice, the argument is all on the side of Germany. In the treaty of Versailles, she was treated as a dangerous criminal who, because of the simplex historical fact that she lost the war, must be den- ied the privilege accorded to other nations, the inherent right of self-preservation. At the same time, however, as Professor Slosson pointed out, the was given implicity to understand that the other nations of Europe and the world would soon follow voluntarily in the same course which she had been forced to take. However, as the years passed, and there was no indication that the Allies, especially France, had any intention of fulfilling their part of he agreement, a hyper- nationalism represented by Adolf Hitler and his Nazis came the fore in Germany, since the nation, as a whole, realized, that the idealistic pictures painted by the Allies at Versailles were more or less of a sub- terfuge, to cover their one desire, the complete demoralization and destruction as a world power of the German nation. Had the Allies kept their promise of general disarmament, it was quickly likely that the Hitler phenomenon would never have occurred. Now, the nations which were Germany's oppo- nents in the great conflict are again ready to en- gage in an experiment in idealism, They want Germany to join with them in this venture. Should Germany make another sacrifice or is it time for the French nation to make one? One nation must conciliate and in all justice, it should be France. No lasting world peace can be established as long as the wrongful hurt which has been imposed up- on the German people remains unhealed. The German people cannot and will not be at peace with a world which seeks to crush their national spirit under a yoke as unbearable as any which has ever bee imposed upon a civilized nation. If equality is to be accomplished, is should not be in a re-arming of Germany. That would defeat the whole purpose of the conference.

AT THE LYDIA MENDELSSOHN "LE MILLION" **PROVING THAT THE FRENCH CAN BE FUNNY Beatrice ......................... Annabella Michel........................ Rene Lefebre Sopranelli..............Constantin Stroesco Crochard....................Paul Olliver The Singer..................Odette Tallizac If you have any knowledge of the French lan- guage; that is, if you have enough to enjoy a riot- ous foreign comedy with only scattered English interpolations, we advise, wholeheartedly, that you see "Le Million." This column is of the opinion that classifying Rene Clair and his gay picture he had produced as "Art" is bunk. Perhaps it is "art" with the small "a," as we hinted last year. But at any rate, it is the lost lottery ticket theme done to a fare- thee-well in a style that. would make Laurel (P) Hardy blush. Space is scarce tonight - sowe can't reveal the engaging details. But "Le Million" is fun to watch(, with that one quilification on your brushing up your French. G. M. W.

The plot was old and worn out, the ac- tors were making such a big effort, and in the end it was obvious that the main parts of the play were sacrificed for the subordinate ones. the triangular space of his arm. Aice Brady (of "When Latdies ,Meet" fame) is better in the frivolous roles and here it is plain to see that she is out of her field,but she does make an effort, in fact too much of a one. To be frank. about it, the effort part of it stuck out all over the place. The best thing of all was the NRA lesson No. 2 with Mary Boland and Gharlei Ruggles.

Collegiate Observer By BUD BERNARD The Trojan of the University of Southern Cal- ifornia, occupying a commanding position in get- ting the low-down on Hollywood celebrities re- lates a tale of the eminent humorist Harpo Marx. It seems that Harpo, while filming a new picture, was to be blown up by a bomb. After being ele- vated to the rafters, in the middle of the scene he shouted down to his brother Marxists in his best seducive tone, "you must come up some time." A co-ed at Southwestern University went to the dean's office to- borrow a nickel for a phone call and asked the secretary to add it to the tuition bill. Driving without a license, obstructing traffic, and operating a trolley without a franchise, were the charges piled on a group of students at the Colorado School of Mines, who were arrested while driving an ancient streetcar down the streets of the town, plastered with signs as an advertise- ment of their impending football game.
