A TOUR OF THE PLANTS occu- pied by sit-down strikers and a session of several hours in strike headquarters at Flint yesterday convinced the writer that the implications of the labor warfare now in prog- ress are tremendous-far greater than even the workers themselves realize. A new technique, apparently unbeatable, has survived the test, and its effect on the organiza- tion of labor in this country will be inestimably great. Before negotiations can be successful, the question of "sole bargaining agent" will have to be fought out, but in the truce, the Union has gained its point. General Motors $an not oper- ate or move the machinery until the successful termination of negotiations. There is no reason to believe that the corporation would overlook this promise, but if it should, theCIO workers in rubber, glass, and coal would refuse to supply materials, and public opinion would react sharply. The Union has gained a point, and if the negotiations are as successfully concluded, we will witness a powerful organization drive in the automobile industry. Since the riot on Monday, automobile workers, it is said, have been joining at exactly triple the previous rate. It is impos- sible to get figures on the number of workers now represented in the Union, and any estimates are to be suspected; but this visit among the workers yesterday revealed that the number of workers connected with the Flint Alliance, anti-strike organization, has been considerably exaggerated. The pictures appearing in Detroit newspapers were made at a first meeting of the group. Included were skeptics and the curious, and many opposed to the strike-but not as many as were represented by the newspapers. The effect of the riot Monday on the tem- porary settlement was great. Here was a dra- matic event-as dramatic in some respects as the taking of the Bastille. The company guards trying to prevent the entry of food at Fisher Plant No. 2, the weakest link of the Union in point of numbers and morale, the subsequent fight, two rows drawn up on either side of the street with missiles flying between, the indi- vidual incidents of bravery (as that of the young mother who rushed out under fire to the sound truck and exhorted the strikers to greater efforts in the Lafarge spirit) and the use of the sound truck , to direct operations-this is the picture of an event about which we feel no for example some sample paragraphs from an editorial in this morning's edition of that paper: "There is no assurance that even if the Gen- eral Motors strikes are adjusted the CIO will not forthwith start its troublemaking elsewhere, and continue the general injury it is doing the coun- try." "Many of the millions who make up the free labor of America likewise have small reason to bless the troublemakers. "The CIO strike at Flint and Detroit is not simply a strike against General Motors. It is a phase of a strike against the American people in general and free American labor in particular. As such it is intolerable "If Mr. Lewis allows himself to be ruled by patriotism instead of ambition he will see to it that the tie-up is brought to an end at an early date. "The law abiding and fairer methods of the American Federation of Labor should not be outmoded." Now we submit that these sentiments, doubt- less sincere, betray a lack of understanding of the significance of the movement. It may be "troublemaking" to the Free Press, but it is a earnest and an unstoppable attempt on the part of long-suppressed labor to have a voice in the determination of its own affairs. The concept of "free labor" as a body of men who accept what they can get and are content under con- ditions of extreme inequality is a sentimental notion of the utmost unreality. The appeal to patriotism is a jingoistic attempt to cloud the real issue. Does patriotism mean a willingness to accept low wages, a speed-up of production, without any hope of redress? And lastly, should the fate of the labor move- ment be entrusted to the American Federation of Labor, an organization which, in one of the most crucial tests labor has faced, announces from Washington that it "is observing the sit- uation closely." The American Federation of Labor has failed in leadership, and it deserves the fate of extinction. The most damning thing about it is its friends. a THE FORUM Psychology Of Nazi Germany To the Editor: This last summer I had the good fortune to spend three months in Germany, not as a tourist nor an athlete interested in the Olympics, but as a student of geography interested in the people and the country. Avoiding anything suggesting tourists, I traveled around the country by foot, bicycle and motorcycle, living with people of every profession and economic position, ranging from poor fishermen in small shacks to world famous scientists. Two startling realizations came out of these experiences, namely: That the Germans, even those in the universities, have a most ludi- crous impression of the United States, and Americans, and secondly, that we are equally ignorant about Germany and Germans. A waiter in a Bremen Hotel asked me where my Colt revolver was. Everywhere, people wanted to know about gangsters. To many Germans, our country is menaced by the Negro and communism. We are supposed to be a very rough country in which only the strong are safe. Funny, isn't it? Now let's turn around. What is the average American's idea of Germany under National Socialism? For the past three years we have been hearing and reading the most fantastic array of statements about Germany - some true, but not necessarily representative, some half truths, others vicious untruths -which cer- tainly picture Germany as an amazing place. But in -most cases the situation is viewed not from the point of view of the German and Germany, but from that of an American, usu- ally prejudiced either 'by race, religion, polit- ical theory or something equally blinding. These, writers proceed to condemn Germany with seemingly no attempt at understanding. The acquisition of facts, even representative facts, gives knowledge, not understanding. The "yhat" is important, but more important is the "why." In order to. understand National Socialism we must project ourselves into the mind of a man, think and experience as the Germans did before and during the war, go through the hellish period of post-war Germany, in which, whole classes of people were wiped out, in which there was no economic end, sometimes no physi- cal security, in which the country as a whole was being kicked around by the world because it was the defeated nation, in which the government was stalemated by the chaotic mess of twenty- five parties, and in which, (from the point of view of the German) Communism threatened.. A crisis came and the Germans chose National Socialism as the way out. To some, this was merely as the lesser of two evils, but neverthe- less the only way out. In order to accomplish its end, that of unifying Germany, NationalSocial- ism was and, to a lesser degree, still is hard- boiled, extreme, and at times ruthless. Indi- viduals and organizations have suffered, and, at least temporarily, freedom and other things which we in this country value highly have been sacrificed. The one end is a united Germany, and anything opposing this must yield. -John Butler Pope. About Germany To the Editor: Here is a brief bibliography on the subject of Naziism: Books : BENEATH **** ~ IT ALL -r-----y Bonth Williams JUST WHY it is that visiting teams quartered here in Ann Arbor are left entirely to their own resources and considered as creatures apart for the duration of their stay is a question that apparently has no answer, either here or at most other schools. Yesterday afternoon I took time out to show Ray Wallace and Bob Johnson of the Minnesota hockey team around the campus and drive them down to the Field House, out to the stadium, and past the Pretzel Bell. The Gophers seemed gen- uinely surprised when Pete Lisagor and I sug- gested to them as they sprawled about in Coach Larry Armstrong's room that maybe we could show them around. "Holy smokes," Bob Carlson said, "this is the first time anyone's offered to do anything for us anywhere. Thanks a lot." I swapped stories with the two Gophers for an hour or two as we took in the high spots. Some of the comparisons were rather interesting. All I remember of Minneapolis is Memorial Stadium, a couple of night clubs, and Bill Bates yelling "Hey, Dirtymouth" at a funny fellow with a moustache, so I was somewhat taken back to' realize the things that a football Saturday can completely obliterate. There are, for instance, two heated garages on the campus to take care of student cars. They have a school year made up of four quarters; it takes three quarters a year to graduate in regulation time. There is a campus postoffice in the administration building where each of Min- nesota's 13,000-odd students has a box. Subscrip- tion to the Minnesota Daily is compulsory and at exactly 8 a.m. every morning, a paper is stuffed .into each box. The result, according to the puck emissaries, is that students rush in before their first class which incidentally is at 8:30 a.m., and carry their paper triumphantly off to read in lectures. Basketball is a far more popular sport at Min- nesota than hockey despite the fact that the Gophers have perennially good hockey clubs and consistently poor cage teams. The hockey arena in Minneapolis is so large that when professional teams use it, they put up temporary boards 15 feet in all around the rink. "Michigan's co-eds have got it all over ours," Ray Wallace opined as he squinted through the publications building. There are some good look- girls in Minneapolis, but none of them go to Minnesota."

LICHTENWANGER T WAS "POP" NIGHT at Hill Au- ditorium last evening, with Ber- nardino Molinari letting his raging Detroit Symphony lions run wild against four favorite Wagnerian vic-! tims-The Mastersinger's Prelude Tannhaeuser Overture and Bacch- anale, Siegfried Death Music, Ride of the Valkyries; that luscious Tchai- kowsky morsel, the Romeo and Juliet Overture; the Bach C minor Passa- caglia and Fugue; and Ernest Bloch's "Solomon," for Cello and Orchestra. As usual, our pre-concert expecta- tions were thwarted and even re- versed. At the thought of the com- bination of the accoustically opulent Wagner and extravagant Molinari, we had paled slightly in anticipation, but revived ourselves by#clutching in the direction of the more prudent Bach and less Pretentious Bloch. As it turned out, however, the playing (dare we use "blatting?") of the be- loved and venerable Passacaglia and its Fugue was the most objectionable part of the program. Try as we might, we could reconcile ourselves neither to Resphighi's over-full and, to us, sensational "interpretazione or- chestrale," or to Signor Molinari's vehement and noisy playing of it. To us, Bach, especially in this work, is august, noble, and devout; not to be played in the street or theatre pit, with effusive strings and strident trumpets-not to mention #the per- spiring percussionists. Maybe it is we ourselves who are cracked-but if so, it started in our ear drums. Much the same criticism is true with regard to the Romeo and Juliet Overture which opened the program. Here, however, the fault-or, euph- emistically, the "reason"-lies more with the composer and less with the. conductor. The piece is written in a sentimental-tumultuous vein, and only in such a way can it be enjoyed. The themes themselves are highly definitive and appealing; whether the same is true of the work as a whole each listener may decide for himself. From the standpoint of interest, if not of pure musical worth, the most important portion of the program was the performance of the Bloch Rhapsody, with Georges Miquelle playing the cello solo. As sheer music this piece, in Bloch's distinctive, or- iental-like style, is hardly capable of sustained interest; but as a bit ofI tone painting and description it is DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN Publication in the Bulletin is constructve notice to all members of the University.

IL second instead second instead second instead second instead admirable-all the more so because the composer has not tied down the listener to a concrete "program," but has only indicated the content of the work in a general way and left the details to the fancy of the listener. The cello part, performed sympa- thetically, although far from super- latively, by Mr. Miquelle, plays about, the same role as the solo instrumentI in any modernbconcerto: that of a leading, or "obligato," instrument, not that of antaccompanied soloist. As we intimated before, we found the four Wagnerian excerpts which concluded the program less fearful and more conciliating than we had expected-probably because Wagner is harder to overdo than Bach. The orchestra, although playing tech- nically none too faultlessly through- out the evening, contributed several very enjoyable passages, particularly in the middle portion of the Master- singer Prelude and in the final, more tranquilly voluptuous section of the Tannhaeuser Bacchanale which en- sues as the frenzied dancers recede into the background, taking with them their cymbals, tambourines, etc. The Siegfried Death Music was done impressively, and the Ride of the Valkyries concluded the program in its usual thrilling manner.
