or grandfather, who sometimes is too old to think
exactly straight.
The AAA is wrong or right on the same basis,
and Communism is simply horrible, when they
haven't the remotest idea what Communism is.
For all that a good many students actually know,
it is a doctrine of violent capitalism. (Don't get us
wrong. We think Communism is impractical and
unworkable, and we know why we think so, too.)
Impartial thinking is a hard job. Not everyone
can attain it, but we do think that most college
students can come fairly close to it after assiduous
practice, unless, of course, they are incurable
prudes who rejoice in disagreeing.

Heidelberg Decision
To the Editor:
I regret very much that the University of Mich-
igan has found it desirable to accept the invitation
to be represented at the 550th anniversary of the
founding of the University at Heidelberg. My re-
gret is not based on the fear that the National
Socialist Party will try to convert the anniversary
celebration into a political rally, but on considera-
tions of principle.
If the universities of the western world have de-
votedithemselves to any tradition, it has been the
tradition of liberal culture. It is the tradition
which has exalted the primacy of reason, the de-
velopment of international technology and scien-
tific culture, the value of freedom and individual-
ity, and faith in progress and humanitarianism.
The National Socialist Party is proud of its de-
liberate assault upon these principles which, among
other things, has resulted in the dismissal of
hundreds of Germany's leading scholars.
The invitation from Heidelberg forces the uni-
versities of the world to come to some decision as
to whether they wish to remain true to their liberal
heritage or whether they wish to embrace a new
philosophy of totalitarianism, racialism and na-
tionalism. The British universities have chosen
toe former. In so doing they have served notice
that the symbols of British academic life and tra-
dition are not available to the self-confessed de-
stroyers of the academic tradition of liberalism.
It may be interesting to recall that several years
ago when the duly elected governor of Mississippi
exercised his legal right to dismiss for political
reasons scores of professors and instructors in
state-controlled institutions, the accrediting
agencies of the universities and professional
schools took action to suspend these institutions.
Is there no parallel between this situation and the
German situation? To be sure, American univer-
sities cannot suspend the German universities
from membership in the international academic
community. The German government has already
done that.
Why has the University of Michigan accepted the
Heidelberg invitation? Was it just a thoughtless
and conventional acceptance? Or, was it an im-
plicit repudiation of the ideals of American uni-
versity life? If it was the former, it is not too
late to reconsider and to cancel the acceptance. If
it was the latter, it is of sufficient importance to
warrant much wider discussion by the entire Uni-
vesity Community - students, faculty, and ad-
ministration.

NIGHT EDITOR: ELSIE A. PIERCE
NYA Mapractices
At Michigan*...
O NE OF THE EARLIER propagand-
ists for the National Youth Admin-
istration, so the story goes, as told by Walter
Davenport in his article "Youth Won't Be Served"
in the March 7 Collier's magazine, went about the
country explaining what wonders might be ex-
pected of the government's firm intention of doing
something for "our dear, dear children - bless
'em"'
This "Bless-Ums racket," so Mr. Davenport de-
scribes it, was created out of the need for some
sort of action, out of the broad sympathies of the
First Lady of the land and out of a welter of
social theories purporting to solve the problems of
youth.
"Fine as it was to keep boys and girls in high
schools and colleges, it was less inspiring to dis-
cover that there were large numbers of these
naturally perplexed youngsters who were learning
at first hand how to get something for nothing" is
one of the major criticisms Mr. Davenport launches
against the NYA.
This University disburses a considerable part of
NYA funds, and it is interesting to consider what
of truth there is in Mr. Davenport's critique of
the NYA as it might apply locally.
In the report recently issued by Prof. Lewis M.
Gram, director of the NYA here, not the slightest
hint of anything approaching a "Bless-Ums"
racket is found. The work projects, the report
indicates, have been determined with care and
deliberation; the students have been chosen with
consideration of their need, their abilities and the
constructive benefits attainable through NYA!
work.
Not indicated in the report, however, is a prac-
tice, no one knows how common, of professors or
other "employers" created by the NYA generously
and naively handing over to students signed blank
slips which the students may fill out as to hours of
work and hand in for payment without further
approval by their "employers."
The Daily knows of at least two such cases,
in both of which the students have taken advan-
tage of the opportunity to file more hours than
they actually worked.
The Daily believes that these same "employers"
would exercise considerably more care in the dis-
bursement of their own funds, and would even
laugh at the thought of giving the grocer a signed
blank check for the grocer to fill out and cash as
to the amount of groceries sold.
Such a practice is obviously the exception, and
cannot be considered prevalent enough to taint
the whole University NYA with the character
of a "Bless-Ums" racket. But this does not
excuse any laxity in the efforts administrators
should direct toward ferreting out these cases, and
The Daily calls upon those hyper-generous mem-
bers of the faculty mentioned above either to
"wake up" to the realities of human nature, or to be
less profligate in their handling of other people's
money- as the case may be.
What Passes
iTne Conning Towerj
Spring-Fever
(With further apologies to the poet laureate)
I must take to the road again, to a mountain
under the sky,
And all I ask is a new car and a map to steer
her by.
For the snow's gone and winter's done and the
plane trees are sprouting,
And over the ponds in Central Park the wild geese
are shouting.
I must take to the road again, for the call of the
running deer1
Is a wild call and a clear call that comes in the
spring of the year;'
And all I ask is a cloudy day and a fly of my own
devising,
And a light wind and a deep pool and the big fish
rising.
I must take to the road again, to a life in the State
of Maine, -
To the old camp on the big lake where the hunted1
loons complain;-
And all I ask at the end of the day is a night spent
under cover,
And a quiet sleep on the balsam boughs when the
long trail's over. E.F.M.
Compositors and make-up men are fond of
saying, when a column is two or three lines too
long, "Do you think we have rubber type?" It
seems to us that the Constitution is something
that is made of rubber type. The minimum
wage law for women has been declared uncon-
stitutional by the Court of Appeals. We read the
prevailing opinion, and it sounded logical; we
read the dissenting opion, and it sounded logi-;
cal. It may be advanced that the type in the,
Constitution is not rubber; it is our mind. Which;
is true. But on the fact that this decision of+
the courts will give working women the worst of
it and employers the best of it our mind is made
of unbudgeable, implastic concrete.
The minimum wage law for women was de-
liberated by the court specifically because of the+
laundry situation. When will the court get down
to the minimum pin-in-the-shirts law, and the+
maximum starch law? Has the consumer no
rights?
In this form of socialism, communism, or fair
play, or whatever you want to call it we believe:
Elevator operators who get as low as $40 a month
or as high as $100 a month all have the notion'
that the wealthy owners of the building they
work in are making a fortune while the workers'
starve. It is our notion that employers ought to
tell employes whether the buildings are making
money or are operating at a loss. Every employec
should get a quarterly statement of how the
boss's business is doing. We feel certain that if
employes knew that they would share in the,
boss's prosperity they would accept a propor-1
tionate share of his misfortune.
That is a rhetorical question. The consumer
has no rights. Consumers are the Milquetoast;
public. We "good naturedly" walk upstairs, and,
we will "good naturedly" ultimately pay the cost
of the strike. Maybe some day the public will
strike, marching as to peace. It will take a lot
of organization; a gigantic sales campaign. It
will take an organization as powerful as that1
which sells us high taxes, war, and other things
that we don't want. The organization, forgotten
men and women, should be known as the Turn-
ing Worms. And for president of the T.W. our
nomination is one who our psychoanalysts and
students of heredity tell us would be ideal -
Caspar Milquetoast, Junior.
The strikers want a living wage, they say. That
means one thing to one man, and something else
to another. Now and then there are two per-
sons in the world to whom a word means the,
same thing. A daily writer refers almost every
day, in some way, to the fact that most persons
are under paid. One reader asks him to stop
harping on that old injustice thing; and does
he know that he is being paid to be funny? And
another reader tells him that his is the clearest
voice heard on the subject of humanity and
decency.
No diminution in interest do we admit con-
cerning our favorite diarist. Yesterday "My
Day," by Eleanor Roosevelt, wound up with:
One of my correspondents sends me a verse
which he starts with somewhat the same idea.
Mr. Emery M. Justice tells me that he has a book
called "Life's Golden Dream," which is at present
in its second edition, and he is moved by "My
Day" to write the following lines:
"Having something to conquer, some one has said,
Is a slogan for the living, not for the dead."
Yes, surely, those who are trying to conquer
are more lively- they have to be.
First, we must welcome Our Nell to the inner
body of columning. Quickly she has learned the
secret of pasting up something when copy is de-
manded, no matter how poor the stuff may be.
We have lots of books, none of which ever got
to a second edition, but we are moved by "Life's
Golden Dream" and "My Day" to write the fol-
lowing lines:
Having something to utter, somebody has said,
Is a slogan for the writers who'd like to be read.
Miss Rebecca West's new novel is called "Thel
Thinking Reed," and Old Ben Muebsch's qaint
notion is to advertise:
The thinking read
"The Thinking Reed."

A Washing ton
BYSTAN D ER
By KIRKE SIMPSON
WASHINGTON, March 10.-Rep-
resentative Robertson of Virginia
managed one of those adroit little
coups in declaring his support for the
stop-gap farm bill as constitutional.
Digging into files musty with the dust
of nearly 20 years, he dragged out
an opinion by Lawyer Charles Evans
Hughes, written in 1917, to sustain
him.
The opinion, written at the request
of clients who asked as to consti-
tutional validity of the Federal farm
loan act of 1917, is quite remarkable
in the closeness with which the argu-
ment followed that in which Mr.
Hughes was to participate nearly 20
years later as Chief Justice in the
AAA case. It is a 34-page affair,
written with that same lucidity of
presentation which has marked
Hughes' opinions from the bench.
And there is hardly a point involved
in the AAA constitutional argument
Lawyer Hughes did not then cover,
hardly a constitutional authority cited
in the AAA debate Lawyer Hughes
did not then cite. Congressional dele-
gation of power, the welfare clause,
the question of federal authority in
relation to agriculture - all were then
dealt with.
ROBERTSON made much of this
quotation from Lawyer Hughes'
opinion:
"It will hardly be disputed that
the agricultural interests of the
country, broadly considered, are of
national and not merely state con-
cern. Any view that would treat the
food supply of the people as not a
matter directly related to the com-
mon defense and general welfare
of the United States would be so
narrow as to be quite inadmissable."
At first blush that might seem in
conflict with the subsequent concur-
rence of the chief justice in the Rob-
erts opinion, holding AAA "a statu-
tory plan to regulate and control ag-
riculture within the states, a matter
beyond the powers delegated to the
Federal government." Closer exam-
ination shows that Lawyer Hughes
drew a sharp distinction in 1917 be-
tween Federal appropriations "in aid
of the agricultural interest" and those
for "the actual conduct of agricultural
activities within the states."
jF ROBERTSON'S citation of that
Hughes opinion in 1917 does noth-
ing else to throw light on what may
happen when and if the post-AAA
farm measure comes to its constitu-
tional test, it does indicate clearly
the narrowness of argument upon
which the 6-3 Supreme Court verdict
against AAA rested. That might tend
to brighten hopes of the framers of
the stop-gap farm bill for a different
ruling, for a reshuffling of the AAA
division among the justices, when the
measure comes to test.
If it comes to a test might be a
better way to put it. It is quite con-
ceivable that the two-year emergency
period of direct Federal guidance of
the "soil conservation" program will
have ended, the question become
"moot," before the act reaches that
test.

From The Daily Files
Of March 11, 1926
Mein Kampff
To the Editor:
It may not be generally known that the trans-
lation of Hitler's book "Mein Kampf"- "My
Battle"- contains less than a third of the original
German text. It has been calculated that the
translation omits at least 158,400 words of the
original. This expurgated edition was evidently
intended for foreign consumption since most of the
passages which might give offense to nations out-
side of Germany are not to be found in the trans-
lation. Such omitted passages deal with the glor-
ification of war and militarism, with attacks on
democracy, on America and quite especially on
France as well as with secret re-arming, etc.
I shall cite only a few striking examples of such
passages not found in the translation. And first of
all there is Hitler's stirring call to war. He writes,
"that a peace treaty is the greatest propaganda
weapon for the shaking-awake of a nation's slum-
bering life forces. Then indeed everything from
the baby's first storybook to the last newspaper,
theater and cinema, every placard-pillar and every
vacant wall-space must be put to the service of
this one great mission, until the nervous prayers
of our modern verein-patriots, 'Lord, make us free,'
has been changed in the brain of the tiniest
urchin to the glowing plea: 'Almighty God, bless
our weapons again; be as just as ever Thou wast;
judge now if we deserve freedom; Lord, bless our
battle!' "
What Hitler hopes to achieve by means of his'
military exploits is seen in passages like this one:
"A state which devotedly fosters its best racial
elements is bound one day to become Master of
the Earth" (Herr der Erde), and here is his con-
ception of peace: "A peace supported not by the
palmleaves of lacrimonious hired female-mourners,
but founded by the victorious sword of a Master-
People which brings the world into the service of a
higher Kultur and leaves Germany mistress of the
"Ownership of all coal deposits
by the government is the only remedy
