TIroat-Cutting the Connting Tower~ THE HERALD I shall see him in the morning, in the wild tumul- tous morning, When he gathers from the corners, from the corners of the earth, The north wind and the south wind, and the east wind and the west wind, To herald forth the wonder and the beauty of her birth. With his trumpet he shall waken, all the sleep- ing things shall waken, Till the music of her coming, of her coming shake the trees; In his young and haughty splendor, he shall make the earth surrender And the old world do obeisance to her advent on its knees. I shall see him in the dawning, in the blue and lovely dawning, When the winds stand hushed and waiting, each one waiting in his place, Then he lifts with gentle fingers, with his gentle, clumsy fingers, The little downy blanket from the flower of her face. ERENE ANGELMAN. Well, you could have knocked -us over with a coupling pin (A voice: "And not a bad idea.") yes- terday afternoon when we heard that the Hitler ticket had been elected. We don't remember, off- hand, the name of his opponent, but whoever he is, the Berlin papers are not headlining today that he Demands Recount. This proposed tax on undivided profits of cor- porations is supposed to increase money's velocity. We never had enough money at one time to have its velocity matter. What most of us know is that money is excessively volant and inflammable.

Another $500 winner was our philosophic con- tributor, F.A.S., Jr. The day he won it he al- ready had spent, he says, $3,025 of it.

NIGHT EDITOR: CLINTON B. CONGER Swimming For Women.. . A T LAST the women of the Univer- sity have been galvanized into ac- tion on a matter which has for a long time deserved the attention of the University authorities. This movement, which is being sponsored by W.A.A., is an attempt to get funds for a swimming pool for the Women's Athletic Building. Swimming facilities for the women are woefully inadequate at the present time. There is a so- called pool in the locker room at Barbour Gym, though it is really little more than an elongated bathtub - but that pool has been condemned as unsanitary by the State Board of Health. De- prived of this pool, the women have left only the inconvenient arrangement of using the Union pool on two evenings a week and on Saturday mornings. In addition, they .must pay 25 cents admission charge, a price that proves prohibitive for some who would like to go more frequently. It is time that the women did have their own pool, and we hope that this movement will not end at the collection of petitions which though they have been signed enthusiastically, are merely a step in the right direction. The pool itself would not be prohibitively ex- pensive, because space for one was left when the Women's Athletic Building was built. However, at that time, its completion was prevented by insuffi- cient funds. Women using this pool would have the advantages of using the other locker-room and shower facilities, which are already furnished - so that the only expense would be the pool itself. With swimming reigning as one of the most popular sports among the women students, it seems fair that they should have adequate facilities for this recreation. Germany's New Moses. S ATIRES on the fallacies of dicta- torships are ever springing up but one of the most pungent and witty was written about 1803 in answer to Napoleon's dictatorship by the English, who feared an invasion of the master militarist. It also proves that the features of dictatorships ever persist in their evils. Although appearing in hand-bill form it is a masterpiece of satire. The title of the work is The New Moses or Bona- parte's Ten Commandments. Several of the pro- visions in this document include: "And when the great man came from Egypt he used cunning and force to subject the people. The good as well as the wicked of the land trembled before him, because he had won the hearts of all the fighting men; and after he had succeeded in many of his schemes, his heart swelled with pride, and he sought how to ensnare the people more and more, to be the greatest man under the sun. "The multitude of the people were of four kinds: some resembled blind men, that cannot see; some were fearful, who trembled before him; others courageous, and for the good of the people, but too weak in number; and others yet, who were as wicked as he. And when he was at the head of the deluded nation, he gave strict laws and the following commandments, which were read before a multitude of people and a full congregation of his priests- "1. Ye Frenchmen, ye shall have no other com- mander above me ... "2. Ye shall not have any graven images upon your coin. . . which might represent any person above me . . . for I am a jealous hero and visit disobedience of an individual upon a whole nation, and of a father ion the children. and unon the To the Editor: It would be well for me to state from the be- ginning that I have no affiliation with any of the several fraternities that have recently been dis- ciplined by the Interfraternity Council. As a mem- ber, however, of a fraternity that does subscribe to the Council as an administrative body, I feel it not only justifiable, but expedient to criticize the extreme disciplinary measures that it so be- nignly doles out. It cannot be denied but that in recent years the University itself has frowned upon the fraternity system as it stands, attacking its abuses and ignor- ing the attributes which make it equitable. For the continuance of this policy, the University is doing little more than make the fraternities them- selves play the accompaniment to their own Swan Song, under the guise of an Interfraternity Council. And, unfortunately, the Council seems to be naive enough to let this policy continue. But in truth, it is the fraternities, themselves, who are equally responsible for this condition. While basking in the approbative glow of the University, they lose sight of the fact that their immediate allegiance is to the fraternity system as a whole. They ignore the reality that, under the prevailing policy, they will soon cease to exist. Instead, they figure, "Put the screws on the Beta's, the Sigma Nu's, and any of the rest! They go down; we go up!" And so, the Council, proudly awaiting the Univer- sity's patronizing little pinch of the cheek, put the screws on! Fraternities, why not let the University admin- istrate its own dirty job, or else maintain the Council as a true Fraternity Council? We're cut- ting our own throats! tJ.W.H. A Washington BYSTANDER By KIRKE SIMPSON WASHINGTON, March 31.-The " joker" about Senator Borah's assertion in Ohio of his bona fide candidacy for the Republican presi- dential nomination is the qualifica- tion he attached. He would seek the prize by "every honorable means" and "take it" only on that condition, hie said. Just what that means, the Senator has been at some considerable pains to explain since he hurled his hat into the ring. He rules out "back- room" nominations, fixed up behind the scenes by a handful of party "leaders." The kind of a nomination Borah stands ready to "take" then must be either the sort flowing from a sweep of the primaries, giving him a ma- jority at the start and a first ballot selection, or a convention decision arrived at on the floor by the dele- gates themselves. rlIHE map of Borah's projected drive for the nomination certainly does not indicate any expectation on his part of obtaining a majority of the delegates via the primaries. That does not seem to be on the cards as s possibility, let alone probability, which would close one door for him to the nomination. If anybody but Wlilam Jennings Bryan has succeed- ed in stampeding a national conven- tion itself into a nomination within the memory of living man, the records fail to indicate it. So much for the other "honorable means" approach. The Borah declaration in Ohio, thus viewed, would seem not to have committed him to any more positive and definite candidacy than his pre- vious statements. His willingness to take" a nomination under the con- ditions he sets does not change the factors in the case materially. He still looms in the eyes of most po- litical commentators, and, no doubt, in those of the Republican leaders at whenm his drive is aimed, as an influ- ence on the making of the ticket and the platform rather than an actual nomination contender. * , * ORAH directed attention to some- thing else worth considering in guessing how the nomination cat may jump at Cleveland. He saw "few scattered chairs" in the senate "oc- casionally occupied by Republican members," on the house side "a no more flattering" comparison, and only "three or four Republican gov- e, nors." It could happen that opposition estimates of the following of Presi- dent Roosevelt at convention time would make the chances of a Republ- -ican presidential victory very du- bious. That would not lessen the Republican necessity for election spade work to lay foundations for 1940 in the precincts, congressional districts and states. But it might influence greatly the presidential nomination. "BOOKS : FLOWERS OF EVIL, translated from the French of Charles Bau- delaire by George Dillon and Edna St. Vincent Millay; Harpers. TWO Americans have repaid Charles Baudelaire the debt American writing owes him. For it was Baudelaire who introduced Ed- gar Allan Poe to France, or rather one side of his genius, since Baude- laire translated the tales rather than the verse of Poe. And now George Dillon and Edna St. Vincent Millay have introduced Baudelaire to America, or at any rate to the section of America which can- not read Baudelaire in French. Very few Americans can, really, because of the undercurrent which flows through Baudelaire's poetry and sometimes belies the vaunted pre- cision of the French language as a vehicle of expression. The translation of "Les Fleurs du Mal" made by these two valiant dis- ciples is quite another thing from the usual. For each has preserved, not only the sense but the precise' rhythm and meter of the original. And (still more remarkedly) each has produced translations which for the most part are as genuine poetry as the originals. This is not a simple task.. Miss Millay has written a very can- did introduction in which she sketches some of the difficulties. The most obvious of course is that of re- crystallizing another's poetic thought. Only a poet should translate a poet. Miss Millay believes. Technically the most troublesome is the fact that in French there actually is no syl- labic accent, whereas in English a preordained accent sets a rhythm inexorably. 'ihese two and all the other diffi- culties seem triumphantly overcome. The poetry of Baudelaire is sup- posed to have an erotic, decadent, terrible flavor.

Dr. Kagawa is a Japanese and for all his cosmopolitan Christianity, that fact imposes certain limitations upon him. He cannot help knowing that, rightly, Manchukuo is a mis- nomer, since only Japan has recognized it, but he either will not or dare not face the issue. Cer- tainly a scholar is not bound by a "newspaper term" and his audience would have understood him as well had he used the proper name. His obstinate insistence, even in the face of direct requests is suspicious to say the least. Couple with that his statement that Japan's sole motive in China is to protect her from Soviet Russia and one realizes that even the best of us have our blind spots. Dr. Kagawa is indubitably a great leader in his particular field, but it is only fair to him and to ourselves that we understand him as he is. -Katherine Mancy. Going To Town-Send To the Editor: Sure, I knew all along this Townsend gag was going at things -wrong end to. Even the name is backward. The thing should rightly be called the Age Old Pension Plan instead of the Old Age Plan. That just shows how dumb and illogical those Townsend pocketeers are. The idea is 140 years old, so that puts Townsend and Co. farther behind the times than they realize. One thing they seem to have the right idea about though is the way to hold their hands - always palms up. That shows they're true Americans anyway. Well, we realize the Townsend boys are getting along in years and they are just trying to show us how comfy we can be when we get along in the 70's if we follow their plan. It's a good plan and is work- ing swell so far, so why all the racket? Well, it's good business. "It pays to advertise." And just think, when it all blows over, of the money they can still pull their way writing testimonials. -E.J.S., '38L. Wood can now be impregnated with ammonia' salts to make it fireproof.

Editor, Peekly-Weekly c/o Peekly-Weekly New York City Gentlemen: Let's solve this traffic problem once and for all! First, let's replace the new buses pn Lexington Avenue with kiddie kars. Then let's move the Third Avenue El over to Park Avenue, which has always wanted an El. Next, let's have a good taxicab strike which will last through the summer of 1976. By then, the first unit of the new Sixth Avenue subway (between Forty-first and Forty- fifth streets) will be completed, and we can tear down that section of the Sixth Avenue El and replace it with jir riclshas drawn by natile coolies from the Bronx. Such a program will posi- tively solve the northbound-southbound problem. As far as getting across town is concerned, we have only to remember the brewer's slogan: Our foot has never lost its skill.
