NIGHT EDITOR: ROBERT WEEKS The Implications Of Collective Security . . O N FRIDAY we set forth some aspects of the problem of neutral- ity as suggested by Professor Preuss at the Union Forum, particularly with reference to the iso- lationist point of view. Today we wish to take up some of the problems involved in collective security.t The extreme exponent of collective security favors membership in the League of Nations- not the present League, but one organized on the basis of a more equitable redistribution of eco- nomic resources. The present League is dedi- cated to the preservation of the status quo. It was built upon the shaky foundation of the Ver- sailles Treaty and is perishing with it. The unlikelihood of any redistribution of resources in the near future makes this point of view vision- ary. Membership in the League under its present organization would make us a party to the pres- ervation of the British and French possessions, would require us to be willing to enter into sanc- tions or war against any threat to the status quo. A more modified position is that taken by the Administration, which favors a plan whereby the foreign policy of the United States would be de- termined by the discretion of the President after a state of war existed in the world. This would mean that if Country A and Country B were at war, the President could declare an embargo against both, against the one which he consid- ered to be the aggressor, or against neither. The presumption is that he would distinguish between the aggressor and Ethiopia. As a matter of fact, this lets us into the League by the back door. We are in a position to cooperate with the League in enforcing sanctions against aggressor nations, and we run the same risk of being involved in a war that we would if we were members of the League. If the United States had, for example, decided to cooperate with the League in enforcing an oil embargo against Italy at the time of the Ethiopian inva- sion, the cause of international justice might have been furthered, but the consequence might conceivably have been, as Mussolini threatened, war. Perhaps this is not a deterrent. If the history of the next 25 years will be the history of a suc- cession of fascist aggressions, perhaps we should be prepared to resist them now rather than in their later and more dangerous stages, as some insist we inevitably must do. It is certain that so long as there are fascist nations, there can never be peace. Rt there ara ethers (Bruce Bliven was the lective security until such time as the more wealthy countries of Europe display a greater social-consciousness than has been characteristic of them thus far. The conclusion is uncertain. Our hope for the present seems to rest upon the ability of Con- gress to evolve from the various suggestions be- fore it a consistent and unhypocritical plan which will make it possible to remain out of war. That such is an unlikely prospect will not daunt us from a more detailed discussion of the more hopeful plans in the near future.

Ann Arbor's Slot Machines To the Editor: After spending better than three years in the City of Ann Arbor patiently waiting for some- body to start an onslaught against the slot- machines here, I have finally decided to start the campaign myself. It seems amazing that nobody has said anything about this situation before. I have spent a great deal of time in the most vice-ridden cities in the United States and Mex- ico. I have observed gambling conditions in the border towns and in the American Monte Carlos but never have I seen so many suckers as I have observed here. I have been informed that the City of Ani Arbor licenses these gambling devices. Is that typical of the administration in town? Do Mayor Campbell, Professor Sadler, and the City Coun- cil have to descend to that level in order to bal- ance the city budget? If that is the case there is an urgent need for a change. It is a sorry situation when the seat of so fine a University as this must depend on that sort of revenue. There are more slot machines per capita in Ann Arbor than in any town on the North American continent with the possible exception of Reno, Nevada. It is foolish to suppose that the students would be able to stay away from the machines. Human nature is inherently weak and it is the duty of the government to do away with the pitfalls that are present on every path. I have even seen instructors of the sciences succumb to the lure of. the devices. Although there is a law against allowing minors to play the machines, I can safely estimate that fully thirty percent of the gamblers are minors. It is a pitiful situation when minors are allowed to spend their lunch money on so stupid and avaricious a device. I am taking this opportunity to demand an immediate campaign to rid Ann Arbor of the slot machines. Professor Philip Bursley assured me of his full support and I am certain that many others will join in the campaign. The vice-controlled Pico district of Los Angeles was thoroughly cleansed of the slot machines less than two days after a citizen's committee pre- sented its demands to the Mayor. New York City has rid itself of the scourge of the slot machines and Ann Arbor can do a similar job. The tremendous revenue of this machine is depriving the merchants of Ann Arbor of inesti- mable business. Unless they too have been bull- dozed by the powers behind the slot machines, they too will join the campaign. Mayor Campbell, Professor Sadler, and all members of the City Council must be swayed from the path they are following. Let all inter- ested parties write the mayor and the council in a united effort to cleanse the city. Surely the University should cooperate in this campaign. There is absolutely no cause for the slot machines to remain in Ann Arbor. Let's start this crusade at once. Don't let the fear of gangland opposition keep you .from the drive. I am certain that the police of Ann Arbor are a sufficient match for any slot machine racketeer. I am certain that the slot machines can be driven from Ann Arbor before the semes- ter ends. -G. Sub-High School Conduct To the Editor: The broadcast of the Northwestern-Michigan basketball game was enjoyed very much but the description of the intermission was decidedly tainted from the standpoint of the impression one gathered of the Michigan student body. Who- ever heard of a student body pelting its guests with pennies whether reserves or regulars? Boys, your games are on the air. Why not act like men instead of high school kids?I doubt if they would be as discourteous as some Mich- igan students were. -L. Hirt, '39, Detroit. As Others See I The Sit-Down Judge (From the New York World-Telegram) ONE GOOD WAY to test a reaction to a set of circumstances is to ask what would have been the reaction had the circumstances been reversed. So let us suppose this hypothetical case: A Judge in Michigan, who works part time in a General Motors plant and gets a substantial part of his income therefrom, is a member of the United Automobile Workers of America, and is, therefore, personally interested in the success of the strike. Union lawyers appear before this Judge, and he grants their petition for an in- junction directing General Motors officials to BENEATH **** #++++# IT ALL ---By Bonth Wiiamsn CONTRIBUTIONS to this column are always gratefully received. The aim of Beneath It All is to present an interesting cross section of Michigan and that job could be much better carried out with the aid of printable contribu- tions. At present I find that one secretary is quite ample to take care of my mail. However, the various types of humor supplied by certain die- hards and of which I receive more than I want, is, generally speaking, both poor and low. Any letter to be printed in this column must have two requirements. (1) It must be enter- taining, and 2) it must be signed. Letters that are not signed are great material for libel suits and furthermore, if you are ashamed to sign your name to it, it can't be worth very much. Names will be omitted if desired when letters are printed. Another thing. This column is interested in being funny to a certain extent, but it is not exclusively a humor organ. Things unique, peculiar, interesting are most welcome. Con- tributions concerning themselves with Campus Mush, dirty jokes, and pointless stories are not. Thanks. THE MAN who is really out in the cold, Tod Rockwell, has put his foot in it again. This time it's Cappy Cappon whom he's trying to club with a folded sports section of the Detroit Free Press. Tod, to whom no one south of the Intra- mural Building willingly speaks, has succeeded in attaining for himself the title of "The Man on the Outside." His stories, so different from those of the other Detroit papers, at first glance seem to indicate an amazing knowledgenof just what is going on on Ferry Field and its environs. As a matter of fact were it not for Mr. Rock- well's imaginative mind, he would have nothing at all to write about because no one will tell him anything. Yesterday the demon scribe referred to Cappy Cappon "taking down his hair" which, to my way of thinking, indicates pretty well just how intimately Rockwell understands the athletic situation here in Ann Arbor. LEGALIZED MURDER has again been recog- nized for the winter season with the opening of the interfraternity hockey season. Every night two sets of determined skaters, armed with sticks supplied by the intramural department smack back and forth at one another for min- utes, during which time several members of both sides are generally assisted from the empty arena. Each team plays only three games a season, unless they get in the play-offs, due probably to the fact that the average recupera- tion time following each contest is 10 days. All of which brings to mind the story of Bob Henoch, now junior barrister, but once ardent Delt athlete. The Delts were making their debut in the league, and Henock, a pretty fair soft ball catcher, thought that he could play goalie. Chuck Gardner was at his peak then and Bob studied the famous Blackhawks' net minder to get some of the fine points. Then he would practice in the living room as the brothers took turns heaving a tennis ball at him. He looked pretty fair. A little slow, but pretty fair. The night of the first game Bob put on the big pads, the chest protector, and the heavy gloves and stepped down on the ice. He seemed to be having a little trouble with his skates and asked his fellows to help him out to the cage. Taking his position, and a very professional pose it was, the team lined up for a little prac- tice. The first shot skidded between his legs, the second knocked him down and dribbled in, and reaching for the third, he fell down and lost his gloves. He couldn't get up without help and when they helped him to his feet he fell down trying to pick up his glove. So it was a great goalie was lost to the sports world just because, as he had neglected to definitely state, he couldn't skate. A Judge in Michigan owns stock in General Mo- tors, whose lawyers appear before him. He grants their petition for an injunction directing the union to quit the sit-down strike, clear out of the plant and refrain on the outside from do- ing other things to make the strike a success. What happened? First the strikers laughed, and continued their sit-down. Then, on sober second thought, they got mad and proceeded to do something. The union president petitioned the legislature to impeach the Judge, citing a Michigan statute which expressly forbids any Judge to sit in "proceedings of which he is a party or in which he is interested." Mixed Metaphores (From The Detroit News) WRITER in the New York Times says thoughtlessly that Stravinsky's "Sacre du Printemps' is a "fountainhead from which a whole school of contemporaneous composers may be said to stem." The unintentional mixed metaphor is diffi- cult to eliminate from the writings and sayings even of the learned. It was County Auditor Edward H. Williams, once a school inspector, who some time ago was quoted as saying: "The county has been used as a football to hoodwink the people." One of the best intentional mixtures was Mr. Dooley's: "The hand of time marches with stately steps over the face of history." Some Australian tribes of savages, even today, make excellent arrowheads out of broken glass hottles. isin1g only nrimitive tools in chinning TH EATRE Sullivan's Music $,y WILLIAM J. LICIITENWANGER LIKE THE CLOWN who wanted to play Hamlet, Sir Arthur Sullivan was eternally haunted by the desire to achieve successras thecomposer of music of a more serious and ex-, alted nature than that which he wrote for Gilbert's comic opera li- brettos. All the while he was collab- orating with the latter he was at the same time writing a series of pon- derously Victorian oratorios, inciden- tal music, and smaller works, which culminated in the production of a thoroughly "grand" opera-Ivanhoe. Although the composer had great hopes for it, Ivanhoe was as grand a failure as it was an opera, and Sul- livan was forced unwillingly to recog- nize that if he were to achieve a lasting fame it would be as the composer of Mikado and Pinafore rather than of Ivanhoe or The Gold- en Legend. His aristocratic aspirations were never relinquished, however, and it was probably due to them that he considered The Yeomen of the Guard the best of the 14 scores which he wrote in collaboration with Gilbert. Eleventh of the series, The Yeomen stands like the Tower it glorifies, a sentinel of literary propriety and straightforward drama in a land of paradox and topsy turvydom. For once Gilbert drew his plot and his situations from real life rather than from his own fantastic imagination, waxed wise as well as witty, forsook paradox and satire, and mixed pathos with his humor. Sullivan grasped eagerly at this opportunity of in- dulging his musical imagination to a greater extent, as he had always felt that Gilbert's everlasting emphasis upon words- forced him to restrain unduly the development of his mu- sical ideas for their own sake, and consequently we have a score more broadly lyrical, more dramatic, and better developed musically than any of his others. One portion of the work of which Sullivan was exceptionally proud is the Overture, which the composer considered his best, and went so far as to claim fitting contribution to any purely orchestral concert. In saying this Sullivan was a trifle too uncritical, for the Overture, although it may be his best, is still nothing inore in form than any of the others -simply a glorified potpourri of leading airs from the opera itself. Sullivan was like Wagner in the one respect that he seemed unable to compose along the lines of purely "absolute" music, but needed some literary stimulation to bring out his genius. But there are other musical num- bers in The Yeomen which rank among Sullivan's best. Chief among these are the poignantly dramatie Funeral March in the finale of the first act and the Ballad, "I have a song to sing, O," sung by Jack Point Sand Elsie upon their entrance. Many authorities consider the. latter, which, strangely enough for a medieval min- strel's song, was suggested by a sea chantey, the best single song in Gil- bert and Sullivan literature. It is in- teresting not only for its quaint tale and quainter air, but also because it is in itself an epitome of the whole play; fittingly enough, it isthis same song which, sung in a sadder vein, climaxes the whole opera. In- cidentally, Sullivan is recorded as stating that the setting of this lyric furnished a greater problem than any other he ever set, the difficulty lying in the fact that, whereas the stanzas of most ballads are as like in form as two peas, this one consists of four stanzas of seven, nine, eleven, and thirteen lines, respectively. Sullivan finally solved the problem very neat- ly, but it took him several weeks to do it. To a visitor who called upon him during that time and inquired the cause of his harrassed appear- ance, he replied, "I have a song to write, O, and I don't know how the deuce I'm going to do it." N.L.R.B. Action In M. G. Strike Is Discussed (Continued from Page 2) represent the men in this and that jurisdictional district. In other words, after setting up the jurisdic- tional districts on broad lines, the Board has the responsibility of de- termining what specific organization, what specific union shall speak for the workers. It determines this, as the act points out, by ascertaining which organiza- tion has the majority of workers. Union Majority Questioned In the General Motors strike, the question of whether or not the union does have a majority, and if not just what minority, is a crucial question. The union claims it does. The Gen- eral Motors executives claim that it does not, and, further, that, as a re- sult, they should not give it exclusive bargaining power. That bargaining power is demanded by the union, which contends that the bad work- ing conditions it alleges cannot be remedied unle such hrgaining is DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN Publication in the Bulletin is constructive notice to all members of the University.
