PAGE FOUR 'IRHE, MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY'', AFFIL 21, 1926 THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1936 THE MICHIGAN DAILY ian state," Mr. Lippmann believes, President Roosevelt has "no such instinctive appreciation of American liberalism. He is disposed to think that these old liberal principles no longer fit the mod- ern world, that they belong to a horse and buggy age, and that the future is to bring a very highly organized society under the control of a very pow- erful government. "The real issue of the near future lies between the kind of liberal individualism which Mr. Borah represents and the kind of regulated monopoly which Mr. Roosevelt seems to believe in."

NIGHT EDITOR: FRED WARNER NEAL M Passi vi sts Or Pacifiss. . THE WAR RECORD of the Mich- iganensian lists 165 Michigan stu- dents killed in the last war. More than half of the student body of 7,000 had enrolled in some service. Fraternity houses were made into bar- racks, the Union into a mess hall, classrooms into war training headquarters. On Ferry Field day after day marching feet drilled. Down State Street marching feet paraded. It's all very well for any of us to dislike the word pacifist. Like it or not, however, we have but one alternative: either we accept the fact that State Street will again resound to marching feet, or we decide to do something about it. One thing we can do is to attend at the University Peace Meeting this morning at eleven o'clock on the mall between the Architecture School and University High School. Still patriotic, we will declare that these our lives will not be cruelly ended before they are begun for any private gain, that we will support legislation and legislators to eliminate this barbarism. While this alone won't stop war, it will help. Now is the time to act - this morning! One For Borah. . , ESPITE all that his opponents do to minimize the fact, it appears as though the stock of Senator Borah, on the Repub- lican candidacy exchange, is going up. On the heels of his overwhelming victory in Wis- consin came his victory in out-state Illinois, which, although the total popular vote went to Colonel Knox, gave him a majority of delegates from that state. The victory for Borah was more than a moral one, especially when it is kept in mind that he won it with absolutely no campaign or or- ganization against the Knox forces which had the backing of the regular Republican set-up and had made an intensive campaign. On the face of the Illinois results, we cannot help but agree with Walter Lippmann that Borah not only "might win," but that the real issue has resolved itself into a contest between Borah and Roosevelt. It is likely that the nomination of Senator Borah, however improbable it may seem to some at this time, would insure a real contest at the polls this fall. Aside from our own Senator Vandenberg, who is sitting tight and insisting that he is not a candidate, Borah's chief opponent is Gov. Alf Lan- don of Kansas. Now we know of nothing against Governor Landon. But on the other hand we know of nothing for him. So far as we have been able to determine, his qualifications for the Presidency are three-fold (1) He balanced his state's budget, which the law requires him to do, anyway; (2) He frequently eats in the kitchen; and (3) He calls his wife "mother." These, to our mind, are not enough. Against Mr. Borah, it is often said there is no difference between him and President Roosevelt. We again agree with Walter Lippmann that this is not so. Writes Mr. Lippmann: "The two men are alike in their general feeling, that large corporate wealth has exercised too much power. But they are radically different in their general feeling as to how to deal with this problem. Borah, Lippmann points out, is a "lineal descen- dant of the earliest American liberals, an indi-i vidualist who opposes all concentration of power, political or economic, who is against private priv- ilege and inrivate mononoly. afmint nolii a n- i Undergraduate Pleads For His Life Editor's Note: The following speech by James G. Green, Yale '32, appointed spokesman for un- dergraduate students of Great Britain and America was presented before the Disarmaent Conference at Geneva in February, 1932. It is reprinted here because of' its statement of the undergraduate position, and now because of its relevance to the Peace Council meeting at eleven o'clock this morn- ing. Mr. President; Delegates to the Disarmament Conference: I petition you on behalf of several groups which have a particular right to demand the assurance of a permanent peace, based upon the principles that security is a collective interest of the several states, that the building of peace must be founded on equality of status and that those instruments of war which allow rapid mobilization for purposes of aggression should be abolished. I should hardly be speaking with the candor of the new world did I not discuss some of the questions which constantly are being debated in every dormitory, club and fraternity house in America and England. We never cease to ask, Were those ten million young men, who loved life as wholeheartedly as ourselves, the victims of an illusion when they fell to earth only a few years ago? Must the insanity known as war be repeated within our generation at the cost of our lives? Most important, what is to be our answer to the government in case of mobilization for war? No doubt it may be considered unwise, even im- pertinent, to raise these issues; yet I would be playing traitor to my constituency were I to remain silent. Perhaps students may rush in where diplomats fear to tread. After contemplating the events preceding the catastrophe of 1914, we remain unconvinced of the wisdom of our predecessors. Fourteen years after the Armistice the glamour and heroism of that period fail to impress us, even when inscribed in gilt on stone memorials. Organized slaughter, we realize, does not settle a dispute; it merely silences an argument. We insist that for violence be substituted juridicial1 control through the World Court and executiveI action through the League of Nations. If we are' to evolve an international order out of anarchy, we must renounce nationalism and drastically cur-i tail the absolute sovereignty of states. The other speakers have much at stake; we (students) have even more, for literally we are fighting for our lives. I stand before you as at- torney for the defense, pleasing for a reprieve. It is my generation which will be called upon to surrender all we consider worthwhile in life, in order to become targets for machine-gun bullets and victims of the latest poisonous gas. It is the young men and women of my age who will be com- manded to commit suicide. It is my generation which will be requested to destroy the best of hu- man culture, perhaps civilization itself, for causes which future historians will discover to be erron- eous, if not utterly vicious. We have thus lost interest in being prepared for cannon fodder. In a sense I am presenting an ultimatum, rather than a petition. The students whom I represent are watching critically every action of this confer-1 ence. For behind your deliberations stands staring1 down at us the spectre of Death. We desire to live1 and to live at peace. We desire to construct a1 world society providing freedom, equal opportu- nity and a sense of security. We desire to makel possible for every human being full developmentT of personality in terms of the highest human andt spiritual values we know. Those of us who have retained a concept of a loving and purposeful God, desire to live in peace lives which will reflect that concept. We therefore petition you for a sub- stantial reduction of armaments, in order that we may have a civilization in which to forward this creative purpose.1 M IGHTY early to the office, and mighty ir- ritable at the selfish thoughtlessness of those who unnecessarily clog passages. But what pre- cipitated my rage was the amount of sidewalk space occupied by newsstands next to subway entrances in 40th and 41st streets, and if I were a newspaper editor I should send a photographer to make pictures to show to the Commissioner of Licenses. And there are those who stand in the doorways of elevators, so that everybody get- ting on or off must needs pass them; and those who stand on subway platforms when there is plenty of space in the car. So did some work, and then to have dinner with my wife, and thence to Frank Godwin's, and a great crowd there, Car- roll McComas and Kate Spaeth and Irma Goldberg acid Jane Adams, and their husbands, too. So by omnibus to M. Ernst's, and John Finerty there that was a lad with me on Grand Boulevard and he is a barrister and Tom Mooney's counsel, and he told many details of the case, and how per- jury against Mooney had been proved, and it is twenty years now that Mooney hath been in prison, and John said that Mooney was a mighty wise and well informed man, and could discuss world affairs with the best of them. So home and to bed. Tuesday, April 14 UP AT SEVEN and by omnibus to the hospital, and my wife under knife, as they say, so waited until Dr. Rubin tells me that she no longer hath her appendix, and that she soon will be whole of her malady. Deeply saddened by news of the death of Harlow Brooks, the physician; and so great the trust I had in hinm that three years ago when I felt low-spirited I went to see him, and he told me my physical condition was good, and there is a piece about it in a book that I wrote. So to the office at noon, and scurried through my work, and so to the hospital again, and so home and read Winfred Hotby's "South Riding," and I could not help wondering whether - for it made me think of Hardy in that here also was a writer who well knew the countryside and its people- I would now think Hardy pallid and out of date; Hardy that was my hero of all writers. But I know there is a West, and an East, and a North Riding; but no South. Which may be why Miss Holtby chose the South, as being non-existent. And well I remember her "Mandoa, Mandoa," a mighty comick book; and it is a sad thing too that Miss Holtby is dead. Wednesday, April 15 TP AND TO THE OFFICE, and at work, and there I read in John Middleton Murry's "Shakespeare," and it seemed to me a bloodless book. Conning Towerj THE DIARYOf OUR OWN SAMUEL PEPYS Saturday, April 11 VERY EARLY UP, and at some work, and so to the office, and in the afternoon took my boys to see and hear "The Mikado." which was the first time ever they had been in a grown-up theatre, and enjoyed it mightily. But whether that was the first play I ever saw I do not know. It may have been that, it may have been "Held by the Enemy," and it may have been "The Black Hussar." So home, and after dinner to see "On Your Toes," and I liked it better than any mu- sickall harlequinade f have immediate recollec- tion of, and there were songs that were worth listening to, and the orchestra did not drown the words of the songs out, and my favorite of all was Miss Luella Gear, whom I fell in love with, and said so, in "Poppy," more than twelve years ago. So to buy four chocolate rabbits, and so home and to bed. Sunday, April 12 ROUSED UP EARLY and was told that my wife had become so ill last night that she came in from Lyons Plain in an ambulance, to the hospital, so I to see her, and she tells me she had much pain. So to the office to work, and in the evening to the hospital again, and so to an apothecary's for a glass of milk and back again to assure my wife that I had had dinner, and so home and to bed. Monday, April 13 NEW YORK STAG E RUSSET MANTLE By C. HART SCHAAF SOCIAL DRAMA on Broadway is currently taking two distinct forms. The first and most obvious of these is the direct and realistic. It se- lects as its subject matter a life or collection of lives caught under bitter socio-economic pressure and builds therefrom drama which is sometimes very good, sometimes very bad, but nearly always important. r The second category of social drama - to which "Russet Mantle" 1 belongs --- may be described as the euphemistic. The dramatist who chooses this form sugar coats his comments with a good melodramatic or humorous plot, stocks his show with as interesting characters as pos- sible, and in general attempts to en- tice his audience into listening to his sociological message by presenting a highly unsociological play. A good example of this euphemistic tech- nique was afforded last year in Rob- ert Sherwood's "Petrified Forest," in which Leslie Howard scintillatingly played lead. Lynn Riggs' "Russet Mantle" is very much in the "Petrified Forest" manner and is, in this reviewer's estimation, one of the two best plays of its sort produced in New York this year. The plot deals with a youthful hitch-hiker (John Beal), charmingly insouciant on the surface but philoso- phical underneath. Turning up at the fruit ranch of a wealthy retired Wall Streeter, he is hired by the Wall Streeter's wife to help her raise chickens. Visiting the ranch are a Southern feminine relation (Cora Witherspoon) and her daughter (Martha Sleeper). The older generation - the retired business magnate, his wife, and her Southern sister - are entirely un- able to understand the speculations which puzzle the young man. Their several views of life are completely unreal and would be nauseous in their apathetic stupidity if Author Riggs hadn't chosen to exploit their excruciatingly funny aspects. The Wall Streeter is quite sure that hard work will put anyone on top of the'world - and has a fine time pretending to work hard raising apples. His wife solves the Universe through the medium of genteel direc- tion of her chicken coops. And the Southerner, in a more honest way, simply closes her eyes at the disturb- ing aspects of 1936 America, whether referred to in general, or specifically as the cause of her daughter's un- happiness. The daughter is miser- able without quite knowing why- although Author Riggs' makes it clear that she suffers because she is torn between the exciting life of the idle rich and the need for a morality which only a sterner life can afford. The solution, of coure, comes when the hitch-hiker, a combination of So- crates and Lothario, succeeds in per- suading the young lady to chuck the surface pleasures of her carefree, Sybaritic life and follow him 'in a career of honest work and honest social thinking. 'The whole cast is good - Cor Witherspoon may be singled out as specially effective. "Russet Mantle" felicitously achieves the paradoxical feat of arousing sustained laughter and excitement, yet somehow man- ages at the same time to give its audiences food for solid thought. No one visiting New York will regret seeing it. THE SCREENI AT THE MICHIGAN "ROSE MARIE" A Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer picture starring Jeanette MacDonald and Nel- son Eddy, with Reginald Owen, James Stewart. and others. Also a Silly Symphony. "Elmer Elephant," and Paul Tompkins. Because he had admitted to his friends that he had not seen "Naughty Marietta" this observer went to see "Rose Marie" in a subdued and reverent mood, and, although at the final blackout, as Nelson Eddy pressed his lips to those of Jeanette MacDonald, several schoolgirls half moaned, half sighed, there was one in the audience at least who could find his feet and leave. "Rose Marie" is a good musical with Nelson Eddy the real star. His voice is excellent, and his handling of comedy lines adept. A fairly sturdy plot proves helpful. Not until the very end does it col- lapse, with Miss MacDonald choosing the occasion of her brother's arrest for a rendition of the "Indian Love Call." James Stewart, who made his de- but as a romantic juvenile not long ago, is wisely given a chance as a villain here. The part is small, but the idea encouraging. A bushel of carrots couldn't do to the adolescent schoolgirl's cheeks TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 193; VOL. XLVI No. 138 Notices President and Mrs. Ruthven will be at home to the students on Wednes- day, April 22, from 4 to 6 o'clock. To Students and Faculties: With the consent of the Deans of the Schools and Colleges of the Universi- ty, in order to permit students and members of the faculties to attend the public meeting held under the aus- pices of the Peace Council, classes held at the 11 o'clock hour on Tues- day, April 21, will be dismissed. Lab- oratories, libraries, clinics, and of- fices will remain open. Student Accounts: Your attention is called to the following rule passed by the Regents at their meeting of Feb. 28, 1936: "Students shall pay all accounts due the University not later than the last day of classes of each semester or Summer Session. Student loans which fall due during any semester or Summer Session which are not paid or renewed are subject to this regulation; however, student loans not yet due are exempt. Any un- paid accounts at the close of busi- ness on the last day of classes will be reported to the Cashier of the University, and "(a) All academic credits will be withheld, the grades for the semester or Summer Session just completed will not be released, and no tran- scripts of credits will be issued. "(b) All students owing suh ac- counts will not be allowed to register in any subsequent semester or Sum- mer Session until payment has been made." S. W. Smith, Vice-President and Secretary. Smoking in University Buildings: Attention is called to the general rule that smoking is prohibited in Univer- sity buildings except in private offices and assigned smoking rooms where precautions can be taken and control exercised. This is neither a mere arbitrary regulation nor an attempt to meddle with anyone's personal habits. It is established and enforced solely with the purpose of preventing fires. During the past two years there have been twenty fires in University buildings, seven of which were at- tributed to cigarettes. To be effec- tive, the rule must necessarily apply to bringing lighted tobacco into or through University Buildings--in- cluding such lighting just previous to going outdoors. Within the last few years a serious fire was started at the exit from the Pharmacology Building by the throwing of a still lighted match into refuse waiting removal at the doorway. If the rule is to be en- forced at all its enforcement must be- gin at the building entrance. Further, it is impossible that the rule should be enforced with one class of persons if another class of persons disregards it. It is a disagreeable and thankless task to 'enforce' any rule. This rule against the use of tobacco within the buildings is perhaps the most thank- less and difficult of all, unless it has the willing support of everyone con- cerned. An appeal is made to all persons using the University build- ings - staff members, students and others - to contribute individual co- operation to this effort to protect University buildings against fires. Student Loans. There will be a meeting of the Loan Committee in Room 2, University Hall, Thursday afternoon, April 23.

Deutscher Zirkel: Meeting Wednes- Faculty Thoughts On Peace Meeting I am most fully in sympathy with the objective of absolute elimination of war, and can hardly conceive of a price too high to secure that ob- jective. There have always been human discord and strife, even from the days of the cave man down to the present, and this discord is evidenced among neighbors, urban and country groups, be- tween sovereign states and among foreign nations, and it will probably continue to exist as long as there shall be selfishness, aggression, and deceit, The real cure must lie in a Brotherly Love which is deep and sincere. It is my humble opinion that peace on earth can be attained only through that means. Enlightened people everywhere, in- cluding Michigan men and women, should dedicate their lives to the attainment of those ideals, and your Peace Council is working in the right direc- tion. But progress will needs be slow and the attainment hardly in this generation. In the meantime American Arms and American Ships must be maintained at that standard which will give temporary assurance, at least, of the pres- ervation of peace and the integrity and honor of the United States. -Walter C. Sadler. I am with you, heart and soul, in your effort to organize effective and intelligent sentiment for peace. Now, if ever, we must work sanely and constructively to forestall the dangers of that Psv i'ria - -Vy]it- inI ofi- m t ,;,; , This seems to me to be a logical and intelligent way to indicate our opposition to war as a means of settling disputes between nations. In addition to such protests, however, there should be unre- mitting efforts to unite on more specific and posi- tive programs of war prevention. May the meeting be a great success! --Dwight C. Long. Any attempt; to increase interest in or enthu- siasm for Peace should be encouraged. We have more than an adequate supply of war propaganda; we need more of the peace variety. We need to have it known that the militarists' methods never have produced peace and never can assure it. We need an organized group which will prepare for Peace as thoroughly, efficiently, and relentlessly as the Army and Navy prepare for War. -Alden W. Squires, M.D.1 I am opposed to war but if other nations are preparing for war or if they believe in war as a necessity for political and economic issues it is suicide for America not to be ready to meet any emergency. We have had in our own day many examples of the futility of treaties. I believe we should intelligently keep out of "entangling" European . alliances. This I think means that we should build what this picture will. Most will probably find it pleasing, others too. tA.C.
