THE, MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, ? MICHIGAN DAILY Established 1890 Ui Ij: Armistice Day... F IFTEEN years have elapsed since the world rejoiced at the an- nouncement of the end of the colossal destruction of the World War. In the meantime, sentiment in this country has swung from the severe condem- nation of Germany which was naturally current during the War to a feeling of positive friendliness and back again to at least an intense perplexity at the change which Adolf Hitler has effected in this stolid people. The ease with which such waves of feeling in- fluence this country is almost sickening when we consider that it is just such waves which envelop a people and cause them to rush into a conflict which they could easily and honorably avoid. Armistice Day might well be spent in an attempt at a return to sanity in our international judg- ments. 1Ii Published every morning except Monday during the )iversity year and Summer Session by the Board in Control of Student Publications.

FERRIS 5eeond Semester ~reshman Residence ... t HE action of the Interfraternity Council petitioning the Senate ommittee on Student Affairs to allow fresmen to love into fraternity houses after the begnning f the second semester is highly laudable._ The resolution which the council is seeking rould be similar to that passed by the Senate .ommittee last year giving permission to move 2to fraternity houses to all freshmen who have cquired the 11hours and 14 honor points neces- ry for initiation, and who have obtained the rritten consent of their parents. While it is true that there is not the pressing eed which existed last year in this matter - a nancial emergency which would force many ouses to close if the Senate Committee had not elaxed its standing rule --there are several highly important considerations bearing upon the uestion.' In the first place, the scholarship of pledges, re think, would be improved, not lowered, if they oved into the house. At no other time during heir University experience will they be subject o the jurisdiction of so many men who are vitally aterested in having them do good work, for to eep a man from. his studies would be to prevent im from participating in outside activities. It s inconceivable that any fraternity man would turt his own house to such an extent. Another consideration is, of course, the financial ,id which the houses would receive from having reshmen move in. While the total number of acancies in fraternity houses appears to be less' han it was last year, an examination of the tabu- ation will reveal the fact that large numbers of he smaller fraternities have room for many men, s some cases as many as they had room for last ear. Although the larger houses are in better hape than they were last year .and do not actu- W1y need the help at this time, the smaller houses vould be able to make good use of the money vhich they would receive in room-rent. Another point in favor of the plan, although it nay be a more subtle consideration, is the general' zelp in orientation which the fraternity can give tfreshman. It is generally conceded that the fra- ernity is a good force in getting the freshman nto the swing of university activities, and this alan would increase greatly the effectivenesstof ;uch an orientation. Houses which are running close to the line on IAdm inistratio n Monetary Poicy... M ANY OF those who know and those who profess to know what mone- tary policy is all about have come to disagree more or less violently with the President's policy as it has unfolded during the last eight months. A subject that is already deeply involved is made even more confusing by the fact that there are al- most as many different solutions offered as there are objectors to the present plan. The President has frankly declared on several occasions that many of his policies are frankly ex- perimental, and he-is to be commended for taking positive action to bring the country out of its economic depression, even though some of his acts may prove costly blunders. If the President is to be criticized on any score, it would seem to be because he has not pressed the attack consistently and emphatically enough on any one phase of the general problem. Such a failure in emphasis has resulted largely because of the manner in which the program has been de- veloped - influenced at every turn by current na- tional happenings and problems which demanded the most immediate attention. It may also be due in part to a hesitancy on the part of President Roosevelt in committing himself to any too drastic policy in the face of the present complex situa- tion.] Whatever the cause of the hit-and-miss policy undertaken to date, there has been a definite ten- dency for individual acts to nullify each other, or else prove so moderate as to be ineffective. Both major steps in the President's monetary policy have been ineffective because they have done nothing directly to put purchasing power into the hands of spenders who will offer it for goods and in turn stimulate production. Merely piling up gold reserves in central banks, either by calling it in from hoarders or by buying it abroad, does not automatically result in credit expansion, as experience of the past few months has amply proved. As a matter of fact, gold reserves in cen- tral banks do no more than form a basis for pos- sible credit expansion in a country which, para- doxically enough, is not on the gold standard. Another reason has been advanced for suppos- ing that buying gold in foreign markets has been suggested. This is that bidding up the price for gold abroad, or offering more of our dollars in ex- change for pounds or francs with which to buy that gold, would not only depreciate our currency in terms of foreign moneys, but would also raise our price level correspondingly. Again an auto- matic response is pre-supposed, which does not work out in practice. Cheapening our currency would encourage foreigners to buy goods in this country, an obvious disadvantage to those foreign countries, against which they would certainly re- taliate. And, as Professor Watkins of the eco- nomics department pointed out in a radio talk re- cently, it is difficult to see how a policy of foreign gold buying made moderate enough so as not to antagonize any foreign nation will be effective in restoring the pre-depression price level. At the same time, general uncertainty and fear as to the outcome of the President's monetary manipulations continues to discourage commercial banks from lending and expanding credit and to retard long-term investment in the heavy indus- tries, both so necessary to orderly and permanent recovery. Washington Off Thoe ecord By SIGRID ARNE T HE once famous White House wine cellar will continue to gather dust. Mrs. Roosevelt is quite certain that a few shelves will hold all the liquors necessary for state din- ners. But ever since the days of the first Roosevelt in the mansion - "T. R." - there has been a mint bed which the gardeners have tended zealously. When President Hoover first noticed it he asked what it was for. "That's for iced tea," the gardener solemnly as- sured him. HEN COL. "BILL" STARLING of the White House secret service isn't guarding presidents he wanders up and down streets peering into jew- elry windows. He is such a connoisseur that he can give a window just a glance and say whether a certain ring contains jade or just a green stone. COL. ED. HALSEY, secretary of the senate, and Jim Preston, senate librarian, are constantly at work resurrecting old historical documents and preserving them for future generations. Recently they found an old paper that had writ- ing on both sides. They wrinkled their brows. Which side should be placed outward in the bawling. "Hey! Can't you read that no parking' sign? Get your car out of here." Without a word Mrs. Roosevelt drove three blocks away to a vacant parking space. She walk- ed briskly back, and as she passed the guard she asked: "Did I park far enough away?" He merely grunted in reply. A few minutes later he had the shock of the season when a fellow guard told him he had barked at the President's wife. Representative Sol Bloom of New York is never without his pince-nez, attached to a wider-than- ordinary black silk ribbon. OTHE man who always wanted to "tell the boss," there is consolation in what the bugler at an army post near the capital did the other morning. He called the very austere general at three o'clock in the morning and said: "This is Bugler B. I just called to tell you I won't be on duty in the morning, and if you want this man's army out of bed you'd better get up and toot 'em out yourself." MRS. WILLIAM E. BORAH, wife of the Idaho senator,'is "paying her debt" to aviation. A while back she was thought dying in a Boise, Idaho, hospital. She had parrot fever. Research men at the United States public health service prepared a medicine and an army plane rushed it out to her. Now she is the newly-elected governor of the Washington chapter of the Women's Aeronautic association. SIGHT-SEERS at the Lincoln Memorial were startled recently to see a person who looked like the Great Emancipator, himself, ascending the steps. It was Charles Roscoe Miles of California, who claims to be a second cousin of Abraham Lincoln. Miles made his Washington visit dressed in a top hat and frock coat of civil War vintage.

A REVIEW Professor John L. Brumm's new play, "Why Print That," was received enthusiastically last night by a large audience at the Lydia Mendel- ssohn. An interesting comedy of newspaper life, "Why Print That?" nevertheless insinuates certain thin- ly disguised barbs on the subjects of editorial cow- ardice and civic corruption. Randolph Coe, a young reporter on the "Gazette," knows that old Arron Hathaway, the former owner, has died under seemingly normal circumstances, but when Dr. Emanuel Cortez, a distinguished dentist, ap- pears with a $500 bill for work just done on the dead editor's teeth, Coe smells a rat. Prof. Martin Fenway and his wife have inher- ited the "Gazette" from the dead man, and the professor determines to take over the newspaper and run it in the cause of civic betterment. The professor, being a layman, thinks that "headlines" are called "titles," but his decision to print only the truth soon brings to bay three of the city's most dangerous characters. Meanwhile, Coe has had an examination of the dead editor's stomach made, and finds that Dr. Cortez had filled the old man's teeth with strych- nine. Cortez shoots himself, and is revealed as the "brains" of an enormous dope ring. Honors for the performance go by a nose, and some other nice features, too, to Miss Virginia Chapman, who plays a chatty secretary with great verve and intelligence. Capable work was also done by Lester Griffith, Robert Hogg, Lawrence Levy, and Play Production's directors, the Messrs. Windt and Doll. Mr. Brumm's play, we believe, was ideally suited for the amusement of Michigan's visiting news- papermen. -Powers Moulton. ollegiate Observer By BUD BERNARD Back in the days of the shinguards When power and bulk had the call, Giants in moleskins assembled To battle for Yost in the fall.
