NIGHT EDITOR: WILLIAM SPALLER An Important English Decision. . P REMIER BLUM'S DECISION to counter German and Italian in- tervention on the side of Spanish fascists by sending aid to hard-pressed loyalists is, funda- mentally, the most encouraging step for peace in Europe in many a day, although it is burdened with the qualification that England's cooperation must be secured, first. In the larger setting\ as has been often pointed out, democratic cowardice in Manchuria, the Rhineland, and Ethiopia has allowed fascism to become very strong in Europe. The same sort of cowardice in Spain has allowed the invading army of militarists and Moors, armed by Ger- many and Italy, to achieve such success that the civil strife has cost the lives of between 100,000 and 200,000 men. With England, as usual, rests the decision. If she sides with France and -Russia, the fascists hardly dare persist with their illegal activitie in Spain, and if they do dare, they have little chance of success. Calling the bluff of Hitler and Mussolini will do more to relieve war pres- sure in Europe than anything else; if England cringes, the tension increases. France and the Soviet Union have learned that in Europe today peace demands as much courage as war. By recognizing that truth in its answer to M. Blum, the Baldwin government can take a really significant step toward world security. Regretful I Rein des, And 4. . W E HAVE BEEN INFORMED that some students passing the Health Service have created noise and disturbed the pa- tients in the infirmary. This has been observed particularly of those moving between the campus and Mosher-Jordan dormitory. Ordinary thoughtfulness suggests that the immediate area be regarded as a hospital zone. TWO notice boards, property of the Presbyter- ian Church, have been mysteriously removed, one from the corner of State and Jefferson streets, the other from the church property on Washtenaw. The cost to the church as a result of this destruction was about seventy-five dol- lars. We trust that no student is responsible, but if it should be that the signs are now decorating a student wall, they are permanent reminders of theft rather than collegiatism. A thorough course in horsemanship is offered for beginners, intermediates and advanced riders at Mount Holyoke College. Riders can enjoy the sport and receive gym credit for participat- Roosevelt's Victory -The Political Forces At Work- By FRED WARNER NEAL THE TYPHOON that swept the nation Nov. 3 was such a history making thing that specu- lation inevitably arises concerning its causes, its future and such related topics as what is going to become of the Republican party and its can- didate, the late Mr. Landon. Although Tuesday's election is more similar from the point of, votes and unanimity of elec- toral opinion to that won by James Monroe in 1820 than to any other, in general it is really more comparable to the "revolution of 1800" which brought in Jeffersonian democracy and heralded the death of the Federalist party. For while Monroe received all but one electoral vote, Jefferson became president on such a tidal wave not only of opinion but changing governmental philosophy that his election ushered in a new epoch. So with the election of President Roosevelt. The people rose up en masse, like the Johnstown flood, as William Allen White puts it, to endorse President Roosevelt and the New Deal and to reject Governor Landon and the Republican party. Certainly the victory for the Presidentb is, first of all, a great personal one. Even Theodore Roosevelt did not have the magnetic personality of his fifth cousin, the appeal to the man in the street, the winning smile and the sincere tone of voice. No man before in our history, with the possible exception of William Jennings Bryan, has so eclipsed the leaders of his party, and no president has so transformed his admin- istration into a personal government. In one sense, the voter asked himself as he reached for the pencil in the polling booth, "Roosevelt? Am I for -him or against him?" They're For It.. . Almost as much, however, did the electorate express its approval of the New Deal plan of action, of social security, government activity in labor relations and the divorce of govern- ment from private finance. Certainly no WPA millions, no Farley political maneuvering, can account for the deluge of Democratic votes. People in all walks of life, in all sections of the country were voting for something they wanted and believed in. Call it liberalism, call it planned economy, call it security, call it what you like. the American people are for it. Likewise did the voters reject the Republican party and its platform. In so doing they rejected a party which stood for what it termed the preservation of free private enterprise, a return to the gold standard, a high protective tariff, a strict interpretation of the Constitution and a system of aid-to-needy rather than social se- curity through insurance. They rejected a party which, in this campaign, was essentially a con- servative party and which told them their homes and liberties were in danger of a spend- thrifty and dictatorship-headed New Deal. But one cannot, with a glance at the election returns say that all the 26,000,000 persons who voted for President Roosevelt are opposed to free private enterprise. Probably only a very small percentage of them would do away with private business. Neither can one say they favor the -tremendous public debt. But it is evident that they do value some things more than free private enterprise and more than a balanced budget. The Republican campaign was, it is now gen- erally admitted, even in Maine. Vermont, and Washtenaw County, very weak in both issues and candidate. It offered little constructive to a mass of depression-ridden people who had come to expect a program of detailed action in- itiated in their favor. It opposed such things as jobs with the charge that the jobs were extrava- gant boondoggling. In place of the plea that, conditions were better than they were in 1932, all the Republicans could say was yes, but in spite of Roosevelt and at a tremendous cost. In place of a government benevolent toward labor, all the opposition could offer was the guarantee of free private enterprise and of constitutional liberties. Thrown A Lifeline .. Whether the Republicans were right or wrong, their stand did not have appeal, for starving men given food or drowning men thrown a life- line are too grateful to worry about the expense, the theory or the aftermath. And, figuratively speaking, a great mass of the American people were just that: starving men, given food. Nor did Governor Landon compare with Pres- ident Roosevelt. Although the former had a certain appeal as a common ordinary man, he had no glamour, no sparkling personality, noI speaking voice. Furthermore, great numbers of the persons who voted for Roosevelt thought Landon an incompetent political nonentity, and many who voted straight Republican tickets simply because they could not bear to break the traditions of a lifetime had sore misgivings regarding the man whom they were forced to endorse. And the Republicans could offer noth- ing to disprove this., Not one person in 10 had heard of the Kansan governor two years ago. His administration in Kansas, outside the fact that he obeyed the Constitution and balanced his budget, lacked brilliance. And certainly no definite program of action was forthcoming from him during the campaign. He was just what the Republicans so proudly proclaimed him to be-a common cit- izen-at a time when the electorate was con- vinced that no common citizen could cope with the situation at hand. So when these four factors are combined- the Roosevelt personal appeal, the favor of the New Deal, the lack of a Republican program, and the distrust of Governor Landon-it is easy to see the reason for the typhoon. m11anb a Al. m11 n BENEATH **** ****** IT ALL EAST IS EAST and thank God.

Fred DeLano covering the game for the Chicago Tribune, called up the Penn pub- licity director to ask for an open wire and ex- plained, "This is DeLano of the Chicago Trib- une." Whereupon the publicity director said, "Oh, yes, yes, certainly, glad to hear your voice again, glad to have you with us again, Mr. DeLano" . . . and by the way, after seeing how capably Fred handled the job, I like to prognos- ticate that he'll be working for Arch Ward come the summer and graduation '.- OLD STOCK YARD STEVE wrote another chapter into his record of never having missed an out of town game when he slept in a chair car all the way to Penn . . .

With only eight Republican governors in the country, he can expect wholehearted cooperation from the states. The press might offer a check if its attempts to mould popular opinion against Roosevelt had not been proven so utterly ineffectual by the election. More than 85 per cent of the nation's newspapers supported Governor Landon and bit- terly opposed the President. There was hardy a paper that backed the New Deal wholehearted- ly even in the South. Yet these papers were re- pudiated en masse Nov. 3, and it can hardly be expected that now any criticisms of the Admin- istration, however constructive, will carry much I weight. Call this unfortunate if you will-it probably is-it is the situation nevertheless. But despite these factors, the conviction in many quarters is that nothing more radical (i.e., new and unusua will emanate from the White House than what has already been seen in the form of the NRA and other alphabetical bu- reaus. For one thing, the wholesale spending can almost surely be counted on to be cut down gradually. The President, despite what the De- troit Free Press and the Chicago Tribune and Colonel Knox say abdut him, is an intelligent man, and he must realize that, while the na- tional credit is in no danger yet, the end defi- nitely is in sight. Also, if business picks up at all, the work program will be curtailed some- what, although conjecture concerning a perma- nent public works program is reported rampant in capital political circles. Furthermore, there is little doubt that a part of the relief money was spent with a political effect in mind. Now that the worry of being reelected has been removed from the Presidential scheme of thinking, such political spending will be unnecessary. Constitutional Amendment? ... Certainly, however, one can expect the gov- ernment to play an increasingly important part in labor disputes. The attitude of the President toward the present maritime . strike may indi- cate what direction government interference will take, but with the Wagner Labor Relations bill in effect, provided it is not thrown out by the Supreme Court, some federal action is reasonably assured. The court itself is another problem. It is doubtful that the present members of the court will be influenced by the election in any de- cisions on New Deal laws, and indeed it is gen- erally agreed that they should not be, but Roosevelt is certain to have some appointments to the Supreme Court bench, and he will prob- ahly fill them with men favorable to the New that Broke the Plains.

TES CyE-FN Cain And Mabel AT THE MICHIGAN "Cain and Mabel" is one of these imple little stories with some de luxe equipment and some stellar names. which is expected to make delightful entertainment. But the picture'misses fire, and loses the thread of the little story in some colossally spectacular scenes of glorifying the American girl. Mabel waits table in a none too fancy restaurant. She gets fired be- cause of a big mouthed reporter, who gets Mabel the lead in a big Broad- way show. Cain is a prize fighter whose first love is a gas station. Fi- nally he becomes the heavyweight champion. But Mabel's show is flop- ping because the girl has no glamor. and Cain suffers from indifference from the public, too. The reporter, now publicity agent, decides to in- corporate Cain and Mabel in a pub- licity drive-the two have a news- paper romance. But then Cain finds out that Mabel can cook pork chops, so he falls in love with her. Of course there is a mix up, but the piece ends happily with Mabel kissing' Cain in the ring of the fight in which Cain has lost his championship title. Marion Davies is Mabel. She has some fast and funny dialogue to de- [iver, and she is glorified in a show which looks like the kind of musical are remnleu clat as lljo 11M- z due today at the office of the Dean of Students.
