Prof. Bennett Weaver of the English depart- ment remarked at the Spring Parley: "We must consider the problems of human na- ture before the problems of political or economic systems, and Spring Parleys will go on futilely discussing improvements in these systems unless first are discussed improvements in human qual- ities." The man in the street says: "Higher education is fine, but first you've got to have good, hard, common sense." In face of all this - and you could supply your own quotations - how shall we look upon our spe- cialized and more or less complex college educa- tion? All of us are aviators flying planes of diverse and unique design, according to our special apti- tudes. Our ability to keep from crashing depends on our ability to manipulate the instruments of the plane - for which ability we spend years in preparation. Yet no matter how proficient we are as aviators, if it were not for a certain law of na- ture, called gravity, there would be nothing to keep us from spinning off into space. As pilots we must develop instrument-knowledge to succeed. There is, however, no immutable force to keep us from spinning off into complete ineffec- tuality up in the stratosphere of "obscure, subtle, remote" knowledge. We must create that force out of our common sense, out of our earthy ties in sympathetic human nature, out of our capacity to receive, as does Kettering, the simplicity which is the essential part of the problems of daily life.

ROYAL CITIZENS who are anxious for peace, nationally and interna- tionally, should keep a sharp eye these days on their representatives in Congress and watch how they vote on the military bills now pending. Coming on the heels of greatly increased army and navy appropriations of more than $1,000,000 these measures, if enacted, will build up trained reserves, in addition to the regular standing army, also recently increased, at a rate of 1,000,000 men per year, a rate that is nothing but madness - war madness. For example, consider the proposals of Rep. John J. McSwain, South Carolina Democrat, chair- man of the House military affairs committee and ii menace to his country. Mr. McSwain, supported by the high command of the army, would force upon the country: 1. Enlistment in the regular army of 500,000 men for one year periods. 2. Enlistment for six-month periods of unem- ployed graduates of high schools and colleges. No limit on the number. 3. Enlistment for a period of from two to five months of all men leaving the Civilian Conserva- tion Corps with honorable discharges. This last bill could, in no time at all, provide for an added army personnel of 300,000 men. It is our firm conviction that Mr. McSwain and all representatives and senators who vote for these bills should be defeated. And it is our advice that every voter watch closely to see how his Congress- man votes. The Daily has long contended that the present army of the United States, with the Reserve Offi- cers Training Corps and National Guards, is quite adequate at the present time. As we scan the troubled horizon of the world today, we are unable to see where the United States can be involved in a war, if - and that is an important word - the persons at the head of the government are determined to keep us out. Passing huge army and navy appropriations and boosting the size of standing and reserve forces, we have said and we say again, is not a course that will keep us out. There is nothing like preparedness for war - when preparedness means, as it does in this instance, bigger armies and navies - that begets war. The United States, we maintain, is fully prepared today, but the natural thing to do with bigger armaments is to use them. This line of reasoning does not even take into consideration the damning armament races which such increases in defense machinery create. It does not consider the terrific expenditures with which this country is already burdened. It does not consider the several million jobless and hungry, for whom the money could be spent with much better purpose. The people of this country have adequately dem- onstrated, we feel, their opposition to war -and what sane people have not? The youth of this country, especially, through peace demonstrations as we have had here at Michigan, have served notice on their governors that they will do anything to keep out of war. The wishes of the American people have been clearly and unmistakably demonstrated. Will their representatives in Congress follow them? If not, we say throw them out. Simple Things.. .

The 'Learned Profession' To the Editor: Chalk up one, not for The Daily, or Gargoyle, but for the New York Times - stiff competition, I'll admit. The Times of Friday, May 1, features two stories, one of Williams College and below it, of the University of Michigan. President Tyler Dennett, in response to informa- tion that the Reich Ministry of Education gives special training to all young men going abroad, to aid them in spreading the ideology of National Socialism, announced that the system of exchange scholarships would lapse in June. "One of the in- dispensable conditions for study in an American college is an open mine; it seems unlikely that anyone who is officially committed to any political program to the point where he is not at liberty to change his mind as to the rightness or wrong- ness of a governmental system would profit by what an American college has to offer; it is hardly likely that anyone so handicapped would be con- sidered here. We do not select our scholarship recipients that way." The trustees took action on the matter last February. The second article deserves reproduction in toto. "The University of Michigan authorities today con- firmed a previous announcement that two uni- versity delegates would attend the celebration of the 550th anniversary of Heidelberg University in June. This announcement was made despite the fact that the Nazi political machine would assume an important role in the celebration. "President Alexander G. Ruthven of the Univer- sity of Michigan stated he believed that Germany's persecuting of Jews and Catholics had been no worse than Italy's treatment of the Ethiopians, and recalled that academicians from all parts of the world attended similar scholastic ceremonies in Rome a year ago, which were presided over by Premier Benito Mussolini." What can a humble student, not yet initiated 'into the realms of higher learning, add to this statement, except to say that he has not yet re- covered from the shock; he can't believe this report to be true. Since when do two wrongs make a right? Or is the degree and comparisons of per- secutions the major criterion necessary to denounce intellectual despotism? Or have persecutions be- come an accepted part of our mores? With all due respect to President Ruthven, I might add that were I president, I wouldn't only recall "academicians from all parts of the world" but would also recall Oxford and Cambridge in their decision; venerable intellectual fortresses indeed, and an honor certainly to be lined up with them in any capacity. I would also recall that Harvard refused Hanfstaengel's (Putzy) gift. I would recall an editorial in the New York Times of April 12 which partly read, "The Bishop of Durham spoke with hot indignation of the dis- tinguished university scholars whom the Nazi re- gime has driven into exile. But he had in mind, too, the lot of the university teachers left be- hind. . . . And thus the question arises whetherI it helps or hinders these opposition scholars and teachers when the foreign learned world throngs to the Nazi festivals and. commemorations . . . The learned visitors who come to Heidelberg Uni- versity for the June 30 festival will become in the1 hands of the Nazi propagandists a foreign endorse- ment of something far different from the Heidel-I berg idea or the university idea; June 30 is the1 anniversary of Hitler's famous 1934 purge . . . Our international system makes it incumbent ont governments and their citizens sooner or later to1 bend before a foreign de facto regime. But there is no obligation on the private citizen anywhere to have barter with intellectual despotism in a1 foreign land . . . the duty of unofficial opinion to raise its voice against de facto oppression in any1 land." However, we have yet to witness Harvard's re-1 naction, since she also acceted the Heidelberg invi- Because the Call came suddenly, With little time for packing, He scarce had time to look around To see if aught was lacking. And so he left behind him, By an unlucky chance, One single tiny creature, A little dog of France, - A little dog, a little dog, A little dog of France. Teem was an Artist, Who dreamt the Artist's Dream. Teem was an Artist, A Follower of the Gleam. When Rudyard joined the Children, The Children known as "They," He told them Just-So Stories At the dawning of the day. And later, in the gloaming, When pipes were lighted up, He sat with Stalky and McTuck And passed a friendly cup. But, deep in the midnight darkness, When the Loneliness began, He felt the loss of a Questing Nose That is not known to Man, Teem was an Artist, Who dreamt the Artist's Dream. Teem was an Artist, A Follower of the Gleam. Teem, who pried for truffles With his prime artistic snout, Dug up the finest trophy From the country round about; Trotted all along the road Where Earth and Heaven meet, And laid this precious treasure At Saint Peter's feet. Peter thought is was a toy And threw it as a ball; And Teem was saddened that the Saint Did not know at all. Teem was an Artist, Who dreamt the Artist's Dream. Teem was an Artist, A Follower of the Gleam. Saint Peter thrice denied him, And looked at him askance:- A little dog, a little dog, A little dog of France. But Teem was not to be denied: And, with his primal snout, ie nosed his way round Heaven's Wall And compassed it about. He dug, as erst for truffles, Beneath high Heaven's Wall, And earned his entry to the State That Nevermore Shall Fall. Teem was an Artist, Who dreamt the Artist's Dream, Teem was an Artist, A Follower of the Gleam. Mulvaney and MacAndrew, Mrs. Hauksbie, Strickland, Kim, We clustered round a Brushwood Pile, All listening to Him. When a tiny tattered creature, With eyes and tail a-dance, Came trotting in to join the group,- A little dog of France,- A little dog, a little dog, A little dog of France. Teem was an Artist, Who dreamt the Artist's Dream, Teem was an Artist, A Follower of the Gleam. CLAYTON HAMILTON Mr. Laurence Axman, attorney for the alleged whist alleged gamblers, said, "If somebody charges admission to a theater where entertain- ment is supplied there is clearly no gambling." Clearly? When you buy a ticket to a play, it is, our contention is, a gamble. (If the play is ex- cellent, you win, the odds being about ten to one; if it is bad, or you think that it is, you lose an evening and the price of a ticket or two. It may interest the attorneys for the bridge teachers to know that this department has con- sidered the game too slow for gambling pur- poses. To our prejudiced notion it is a shade snappier than horse racing. Gambling should have about three-quarters luck in it. Take Mr. Ira Gershwin, as most players do; "throw skill to the dogs," he says, "I'll none of it," as he draws three cards to a pair of non-contiguous hearts, hoping to catch a flush. - F.P.A. thing I am certain - the learned profession has miserably failed the society which gave it its opportunities and looked to it for salvation - wit- ness Republican economist No. 1 of Harvard, T. Carver, who obviously having exhausted his eco- nomic knowledge, suggests we adopt some of Hit- le and Mussolni'nn niPC in ar eina-- employment, he said, "a longer period of increased taxation" lies ahead with those taxes coming "largely from business earnings." BOTH CONCILIATORY, BUT- AS THAT Roper speech without question was carefully read at the White House before delivery - quite possibly by the President per- sonally since it was to amplify his challenge to business to step up its reemployment efforts -it rates spe- cial attention. Via Roper, business has been pro- vided with a 10-point administration blue-print of how to go about the stepping-up process. And via Lewis Brown, chamber spokesman in what amounted to a government-business debate of the problem, the New Deal has been presented with a six-point list of counter suggestions. Despite the very conciliatory tone of both speeches, the reader of both"is apt to see the same head-on collision of views between business and the New Deal. As a background of Roper's blunt' warning of continued high taxes on business earnings unless the reem- ployment problem is solved, it might be noted that within a few hours of his address, the House had whipped through the first rough draft of the new tax bill, three-to-one, with less than a dozen Democratic dissenters. And that in an election year when tax legislation is so highly unpopu- lar to all House members facing re- election campaigns. AND almost simultaneously on the political front, the New Deal was doing something else to indicate that it does not feel under any particular compulsion to truckle to business as it surveys election prospects. It was naming Senator Wagner of New York, Wagner of 7-A and labor board bill fame, to pilot the committee at Phila- debate of the problem, the New Deal Democratic platform. That assignment assures an espe- cially powerful voice in committee for the labor point of view. It can bet regarded as designed to strengthen the New Deal appeal to labor election day; but it hardly tends to reassure business as to future New Deal legis- lative moves should the reemploymentl bugbear carry over into the next ad- ministration. The House virtually snapped its fingers at spokesmen for business who were inveighing against the tax bill before chamber convention sub-meet- ings eve as the House vote was taken. It just so happened, however, for under the special rule the measure came to a vote just about then. Yet as indicative of the judgment of the mass of House Democrats on what will be voter reaction between now and November to the President's "suggestion" of reaching undistribut- ed corporation surpluses for tax pur- poses, the vote was significant. ly accommodated in sororities and fraternities), and because of an an- ticipated record-breaking attendance, it is necessary to secure additional rooms for the nights of Thursday, May 7, and Friday, May 8.
