BYSTAN DER
By KIRKE SIMPSON
WASHINGTON, March 19. - It is
a generally accepted theory of
the federal constitution that none
of the sovereign powers possessed by
the states which entered into that
compact were lost. They were either
retained by "the states or the people
thereof," as the bill of rights reserva-
tion puts it, or handed over specifical-
ly to the central government.
Yet in presentation of the Guffey
"little NRA" for regulation of the coal
industry to the supreme court, a
novel situation developed. The act
was assailed as beyond the constitu-
tional powers of the central govern-
ment. At the same time the seven
states most immediately concerned,
because they produced virtually all of
the coal involved, came into court to
say they could not regulate the in-
dustry because of its interstate as-
pects.
JUSTICES IN DILEMMA
THERE is a new factor to bother the
justices. If, in the face of the
formal declarations of the states
chiefly concerned that they cannot
regulate because of circumstances be-
yon their jurisdiction, they say the
Federal Government cannot regulate
because coal production is a "local,"
intra-state matter, what has become

Future Of The
Student Senate,...
THE STUDENT SENATE, we think,
may be termed eminently success-
ful as far as its first meeting goes. But that did
not go far enough.
It was encouraging to hear students stand up
and advocate the formation of a Farmer-Labor
party, to hear them urge support for the New Deal
and the Republicans, or the Socialists. But, with
few exceptions, the students who spoke largely neg-
lected to point out the platforms and leadership of
their party, or the platforms and leadership which
they would like to have in their party. We feel
that the next session of the Senate should devote
itself to a discussion of ways and means, of definite
programs, without the wordy platitudes which
dominated Wednesday's session.
The Farmer-Laborites offended least in this
respect. Their advocacy of the American Youth
Act, the Lundeen social insurance measure, the
Nye-Kvale Bill and similar projects were practi-
cally the only concrete suggestions presented. The
obsence of comparable proposals by student Re-
publicans and Democrats not only lessened the
liveliness of debate, but tended to give the im-
pression that they were not as well prepared to
defend their views, an impression that is undoubt-
'edly not true.
We feel that the success of the Senate is as-
sured. There is, its first meeting indicated, plenty
of political sentiment on the campus. If it can
be organized in plain language and be presented
coherently without bickering, there seems little
doubt that the Senate will do much to wake the
campus from its lethargy, bring a realization of
the great importance of political problems today,
and the vital role the student should play in their
solution.
At\7io r
We Laugh#itig?.**.
TSEEMS that if a man laughs,
cries, or jeers long enough in Amer-
ica, the time will come long before the millenium
when an organization will evolve to laugh, cry and
jeer in militant chorus with him.
Many of us have derided programs like Town-
sendism because we see not an economic program
which menaces ours, but because the panacea for
the aged is a bubble, impractical, and fantastic.
But there is the fire of conviction in the convert
these days and fire does not waver before logic.
So perhaps we'have a new and powerful political
weapon evolving in the form of the "Veterans of
Future Foreign Wars."
Essentially the future veterans are organized
consciously and rather seriously to lead America
in a laugh crusade. They would petition Congress
to pay bonuses to potential soldiers and among
dther items, they propose to send girls abroad as
Gold Star mothers to mourn over the undug graves
of unborn children.
It's a lot of fun and we're chuckling too. We
too regard as fantastic the conception among some
people that the "guvment" ought to pay for this
or that. The idea seems to prevail in some quar-
ters that since the budget is unbalanced anyway
there would be no harm if they took a cut out of it
while the cutting is good.
But with all the fanfare brushed away from

Waiting For Lefty
To the Editor:
It was a trifle surprising to read "The Michigan
Daily" editorial "Waiting For Leftists" lauding the
University of Michigan for permitting the presen-
tation of "Waiting For Lefty" and condemning
other universities that "err in treating their stu-
dents like children who must be sheltered against
the doctrines of Communism." The editorial con-
tinued, "It is a pleasure to think that this Univer-
sity treats the students as discriminating adults.
. It is a compliment to the student that the
University believes him capable of objectively real-
izing the importance of the social criticism of the
play, and after serious thought, passing discrim-
inating judgment upon it."
. May I recall several instances in which the Uni-
versity seemed to doubt the students' ability for
passing discriminating judgment upon events:
1. The censorship of the Michigan Daily last
year.
2. The refusal of Hill Auditorium for the John
Strachey lecture.
3. The expulsion of three students for their zeal-
ous peace activity.
4. The leaflet ban.
5. The subtle but nevertheless firm direction of
the Art Cinema League's choice of pictures.
6. The administration's dispatching an observer
to National Student League meetings to carefully
note what was said and who said it.
Do not these events indicate that the University I
of Michigan, like to and not different from other
universities, has treated its students like children?;
The fact that a bit of Liberalism called forth such
a lengthy editorial indicates that Liberalism is the.
