THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1936 -- - - - I- -- I - -,-" - I I;; 1: ;; ; 1; .. - MIMI- THE MICHIGAN DAILY cupation and remilitarization An army of several thousand "green policemen," so called because of the color of their uniforms, have guarded the East bank of the Rhine for a long time. These "police- men" although technically representative of the police power of the Third Reich, are well versed in the arts of warfare. They have been made an integral part of the regular army which has been sent into the Rhineland. It must be difficult for France to regard such a move as other than an act of potential aggression to her territory. When Hitler makes prophetic gestures of protest against the injustices received at the hands of the community of nations, it is hard not to sense the subtle odor of hypocrisy in his words, when we regard the meaning of justice in National So- cialist Germany. Meanwhile we see no change in Great Britain's national policy during the present situation, from those of other crises. Britannia has no irons in the fire at the present time, and thus her atti- tude of weak arbitration. Alternative To Chaos. .

NIGHT EDITOR: FRED WARNER NEAL Domination By Radicals. . T HERE HAS ALWAYS been a tend- ency for public student discussion groups to become dominated by organized minor- ities. Usually, and quite naturally, the members Qf these organized minorities have favored radical social changes. Knowing that this has been true in the past, students are asking themselves whether the Stu- dent Senate, which is to meet next Tuesday, and the coming Spring Parley are to be so dominated. Students whose general convictions are conserv- ative, mildly liberal or still unformed, resent the public impression given by those whose convic- tions are headed irretrievably toward either the right or the left - and the notions that colleges are Communistically inclined arise not out of a majoxity of Com'munists among us, but from the fact that we who are committed to neither extreme are rarely as articulate as those who are. Every effort is being made by the executives of both the Senate and the Parley to insure that neither session will be dominated by,those of any one opinion. The Daily urges the entire student body to be present to discuss, without bias or heat, the issues which confront us individually and as members of a generation. If those of us who still conceive of ourselves neither as evan- gelists nor above learning present ourselves in suf- ficient numbers, a discussion will result which will more nearly represent the approach of the stu- dent body as a whole to social problems. J ustification lt AFalse sis .-. 4 G ERMANY'S recent coup toward sub- stantial remilitarization of the Rhineland has received considerable approval and justification in the American press. It is our opinion that editorial defense of this action does not sit well both from a moral and legal viewpoint, when analyzed in the light of the actual circumstances of the situation. Hitler's favorite method of rationalization for this action has been his contention that France herself broke the terms of the Locarno Treaty when she passed the Franco-Soviet Pact of mu- tual assistance. However the Locarno Pact pro- vided for the peaceful settlement of just such a contingency, by designating the World Court at Hague as the judiciary for determining the legal- ity of any other treaty made by any party to the pact. It is interesting to note that although France has demonstrated her willingness to submit the question to the World Court, Hitler has consistent- ly refused to any such sort of arbitration. It is the Third Reich, then, which is the actual treaty of- fender. American journalists are prone to defend the Rhineland occupation because Germany has been surrounded by a "ring of steel" since the World War, and because sooner or later she is sure to give vent to the normal expression of territorial in- tegrity within national boundaries. This justification soon loses its validity when we consider that when Germany penned her agree- ment to the Pact, she did so of her own free will, without any pressure from the other powers The I cisco, steel workers in Baltimore-strikes created or threatened even as one attempts to enumerate them. An estimated 12,626 unemployed at the end of January - increased more than 1,200,000 during the month. Employers refusing stubbornly and militantly to bargain collectively with their employes, bit- terly denying the right of workers to organize. Government trying to do something about it, finding itself tragically hampered, pitifully in- adequate, enormously vulnerable to political ma- chinations. College students, bewildered at the illogicalities of poverty-stricken "age of plenty," ignorant of the seething intensity of emotion - the hatreds and the consuming jealousies -underlying the conflict between those who have and those who have not. College graduates, feeling the cold waters of the world with a hesitating toe, undecisive whether to reform or exploit. A few willing to attempt reform. What course lies open for these. See what's wrong. Then: intellectual objectivity, employe leadership or em- ployer enlightenment. Or, in other words and respectively, talk and write about it, crusade with the wronged or enter into the inner councils of the wrong-ers and seek to guide. Well, which? That depends on you, your unique talents. All offer possibilities of good, but lucky4 is he who is able to take the third road, to become an employer and uplift the character of the em- ploying group. For his is the opportunity of ac- complishing most, his the role of history-maker. The intellectual will influence, the crusader spur, but the employer will change. Change? Must -or chaos. As Others, See It . I The Conning Tower To Spring Come, gentle spring, ethereal mistress. Lay off the tedious winter wildness Come, any spring, soon as you like And end the silly weather strike. It seemed natural enough for a newspaper to run the story of Thursday night's Earl Browder broadcast on page 1, as Friday's Herald Tribune did. You don't have to be a Communist to know that when the first quarter-hour ever allotted to the Communist party occurs it is News. As comic a news story as we have seen ap- peared in Friday's American's report of the Browder broadcast. "I a typical soap-box ora- tion," it began, "Browder used the nation-wide facilities of Columbia to extol Soviet Russia, to preach class hatred, to agitate for a Communistic 'farmer-labor' party and to invite correspond- ence with the Communistic headquarters in New Yok City." Certainlythe Communist partyvhas not cornered the market on class hatred. Even the Liberty League hasn't. And as for inviting correspondence, you ought to know, Mr. Hearst, the amount of postage it costs us for two boys' letters to Dick Tracy and Bobby Benson, who in- vite correspondence and, we may say, with tre- mendous success, for - would it be Syrup of Figs and Wheatena? "But," said the American's news story, and we are an old-fashioned boy who wants news in news stories and editorials in editorials, "two New England radio chains saw through the Com- munist ruse, and steadfastly refused to permit Browder's talk to be transmitted through their stations." These stations, it may be added, were not far from the Cradle of Liberty . . . By the way, we are carrying the clipping with us to show to those who say that "It Can't Happen Here" is the silly exaggeration of a sadistic maniac. Historians' Peekly-Weekly The inside story of the elevator strike; as told to a Peekly-Weekly reporter by Aristotle J. Winterset, a wholly fictitious picket, on Central Park, West. Well, it was like this, see: I was walkin' up and down in front of this house, and a guy that looks just like Dizzy Dean comes along and wants to know how the strike was comin' along. So I says okay and asts him is he Dizzy Dean by any chance. Course I knew he wasn't on account of how I read only that mornin' in the paper that Dizz was down in Florida holdin' out for forty grand. But you can't never tell. So I ast him anyway. Howja ever guess it? says he. So I says hell, I seen you pitch millions of times. No kiddin', says he. So then I asts him is he really holdin' out for forty grand.4 You're damn tootin', he says. I'm on strike too, like it says on that sign you're wearin'. Well, that showed me right off he wasn't tryin' no high hat stuff with me even if he does play in the big leagues and I'm only runnin' an elevator. So then we got pretty confidential like and told each other a lot of inside stuff, specially about the Cardinals' chances to cop the pennant this year and how much Pepper Martin is supposed to get per season and a lot of other inside dope. So anyway, Dizzy fianlly says what did I think of Roosevelt's chances for re-'lection. Well, I says, it looks to me like the New Deal's in kind of a tough spot on account of the S'preme Court puttin' Chicago back on Eastern Standard Time. That's what I hold, says Dizz. And, besides, they say the Republicans is reducin' the rail- road fares on June second so's they can all go to Philadelphia and picket the Democrats' con- vention. So of course when he says "picket" I kind of picked up my ears. No kiddin'? I says. No kiddin', he says. They're goin' t'wear signs on 'em saying "FDR is Unfarley to Organized Baseball ." At first I thought he might be goofin' me. But when he says "Organized Baseball," I knew he must of had some inside dope. So I didn't say nothin'. Then I says it certain'y looks like trouble be- tween the Japs and Russia. It certain'y does, he say. A friend of mine that's in Tokio sent me a confidential cable the other day sayin' as how the Mikado was sort of figgerin' on invadin' a large part of China, and maybe some of Warsaw and Ethiopia. And you know what that means, he says. Sure, I says. It means trouble between the Japs and Mussolini. Right-O, he says. And then that happens, you can just remember Old Dizz had the hot inside dope first. A Washington BY STANDER I iRl L E S(IPSON TASHINGTON, March 13. - Pres- ident Roosevelt's act ual tax mes- sage provcd to be a more surprising meeting of the Loan Committee in documnit than his own press confer- oom 2, University Hall, Monday afternoon, March 16. Students who once advance notices forecast. ha valreadar1v6.filed a for It is unique under accepted Amer- ican political procedure for a reve- nue raising measure to be proposed to Congress in an election year. To couple with such proposals what amounts to a major "'reform" in tax- ation philosophy as well is a breath- taking political innovation. The President stressed, to be sure, that he was leapding the question of sources to be tapped for new revenue to Congress itself. His "suggestions" as to sources, howeveri, and in par- ticular his argtument for changing the whole tax procedure as to corpora- tions, bids fair to eclipse in Congres-! sionah and public interest the size of the tax dernands the President transmitted. AS THE TIME ELEMENT of his tax plan, the President proposed substitution of a new tax on all cor- poration profits, distributed or un- distributed, for a trio of existing taxes like the excess profits, capital stock and graduated corporation income levies. Repeal of these present taxes would mean a billion loss in revenue next year in round figures. By bring- ing now untaxed corporation undis- tributed profits within the tax col- lector's reach, however, the framers of the proposal calculate not only to restore that billion, but to pick upI an extra 8600,000,000. How that is going to hit the "con- servative" business element which has been clamoring for drastic moves toward an early balance of the budget remains to be seen. AT FIRST GLANCE, the President's proposal to go after great cor- poration reserves for tax purposes looks to be intended to stimulate in- come distribution as well as to meet the tax bill imposed by passage of the soldier bonus bill over a veto andl the outlawing of AAA processingI taxes. If there is no tax escape in- centive for withholding corporation earnings from distribution to stock- holders as dividends, but on the con- trary, as is implied, a heavier rate on such "reserves," considerable in- crease in dividend declarations might be expected. It may be adminis- tration thought further to stimulate recovery in that way. As to the political effect of the suggestion, this is to be recalled. Gloomy hints of upward revision of even normal income tax rates, the rates the little fellows pay, and of pared down personal exemptions have been whispered about recently. That is what "broadening the tax base" has meant to the average man-in- the-street. There is no such implication in the possible sources for new tax money the President points out. That might serve to sugar-coat the tax bill, polit- ically speaking.

Aeronautical Engineering Students: During the period from March, 1935, to March, 1936, approximately thirty- one numbers of various aeronautical periodicals have been taken from the East Engineering Library without withdrawal through the proper chan- nels. It is believed that this abuse of library privileges is confined to a small number of students but the loss, of course, effects all students in the Aeronautical Engineering Depart- ment. In order that this situation may be improved it is proposed that the use of periodicals be continued on the same basis as at present for a period of one month. If at the con- clusion of that period additional1 magazines are found missing it will be necessary to place all such items under lock and key and they will be obtainable by the students only upon the signing of a withdrawal card. AI list of the missing items is posted on the Aeronautical Engineering De- partment bulletin board. The cooperation of all students in securing the return of these periodi- cals will be greatly appreciated. M. J. Thompson.

The Herbert Hoover school of symbolic decoration has lost three more panels to the Frank- lin D. Roosevelt school of realists. In place of Greek figures depicting the stern punishment of the law we get real 1936 unfortunates coming in and out of penitentiaries. Not long ago we had a recognizable member of the United States Supreme Court holding out a helping hand to an under- privileged citizen. Under Herbert Hoover the hand of succor would have been extended by a draped figure called Justice or Mercy. To say that the Old Deal decorative art is fight- ing with its back against the wall is to put it mildly. The Old Deal is being pushed right through the wall, upon which the New Deal pro- c "eds to inscribe its own murals. It reminds one not a little of 4,000 years ago in Egypt.
