NIGH-:T EDITOR: WILLIAM SHACKELTON Federal Food And Drug Regulation.. . CONSUMERS in America for many years have been the victims of an anarchical lack of regulation of food and drug laws. Bills for the correction of this condition have been devised and subsequently killed in committee or by lobbyists. The first stage of consumer gullibility occupied the early years of America's industrial revolution. Only through motion pictures and the memories of our ancestors can we know of those days in which the "charming Indian princess" danced before the bewildered eyes of the consumer while the crafty barker relieved him of his precious dollars for an omnipotent cure-all. If some of the stories are to be believed, the cure-alls us- ually developed into flat beverages or into such potent cures as to make a cigar-store Indian go into his dance. However those were crude practices in an early period. The industrial life of the nation spread and multiplied the opportunities for getting-' rich-quick. Subtler means for deluding the con- sumer were developed. A Pure Food and Drug Law of 1907 was enacted but proved worthless as it has been shown in that revealing work, "100,000,000 Guinea Pigs," by Kallet and Schlink. Despairing temporarily of trying to meet the almost invincible opposition of patent medicine and adulterous food manufacturers, consumers set out to form their own research organiza- tions. The two most famous are Consumer Re- search, Inc. and Consumers Union which test all articles with their own staffs of doctors, chemists, and special investigators. Nevertheless these methods furnish no funda- mental solution of the problem that confronts the vast number of American consumers. The reports of the researeh agencies reach only a small group, in the hundred thousands, while the consumer cooperative, involving more hun- dreds of thousands, does not attack the problem of securing a higher quality of consumers ar- ticles. Higher quality can be achieved by federal legal regulation of the quality of food, drugs, clothing, household, and other consumers ar- ticles. Rexford Guy Tugwell in the early days of the first Roosevelt administration attempted to push through Congress an extensive pure food and drug act. Unfortunately for the consumer he met the powerful opposition of a harrow- ing silence and coldness from the nation's press. At the moment there stands before Congress the Copeland Food and Drug Act, which has been attacked for its loopholes by the keen ob- server, Paul W. Ward of the Nation. The Copeland bill, with three glaring loopholes, Ward points out, is backed by "the Senator for Vick's Vaporub (Bailey of North Carolina), the Senator for Listerine (Clark of Missouri) and the Senator for Parke-Davis (Vandenberg of Michigan)." Loophole number one-a section prohibiting imagine, Ward asks, a typical federal judge sub- jecting a manufacturer to the publicity that an injunction will bring after he has promised to be good? Loophole number three-Ward points out that, in the section on advertising claims, the phrase "false or misleading in any material particular" will cause all the legal precedents of the Food and Drug Administration to be upset. For the safety of the consumer there should be a bill setting up standards for all consumers, articles; an administration with large powers to investigate and seize adulterous and misbranded products; and careful criticism and control of all advertising whether in the press, over the radio, on the screen, or in any other form, oral or visual. THE. FORUM] On How To Fight Against War To the Editor: A letter signed "Realist" was printed in The Daily Feb. 26. At the end he asked for concrete suggestions. An attempt will be made to push him a step further in his realistic observatons of human relationships. It is agreed that an emotional reaction against war will not serve to prevent it but neither will a logic which seems to be based on shaky premises and which concludes that there is nothing to be done. Let it be suggested that "lust for power," "jeal- ousy . . . for another's money, land, or superior attributes, etc," "fancied insults and slights" are in reality reactions to economic pressures. In your own community you can observe forms of reaction to economic pressure. There are those individuals who are indifferent and make no attempt to investigate objectively the major classes of interpretations of contemporary events, those who have a measure of under- standing but remain quiet because of the con- stant threat to their prestige and security that comes from being outspoken, those who are in- capable of understanding because their success experiences and relatively comfortable positions have conditioned them to the complete accept- ance of the traditional, and those who are di- rectly interested in protecting special rights and privileges. These are some of the classes who will support a leadership which has the lust for power. They are the small elements of lust for power which when integrated will readily support the continuing of conditions which are basically responsible for the threat of war. From the earliest times there have been struggles for control of the surpluses produced by the populations of the world. It takes human effort of all kinds to turn the resources of nature into the things that are necessary to support life. For a long time social groups have been able to produce more than enough to provide for the very minimum requirements of their members. This extra product is what is meant by the term 'surplus." Through the ages there have been developed countless devices, adaptable to the countless forms of organization for production, designed to secure this surplus for the benefit of a few. There have also been countless movements on the part of producers to do away with given methods of appropriations of this surplus. Med- icine men, slave holders, feudal lords, and the like have developed their techniques to fit the methods of production and by their various de- vices have succeeded in appropriating for their own uses surplus goods. Having Wealth, these classes have always been in a position to com- mand support. The very development which has outmoded their practices has placed tradi- tional morals and psychology on their side and as a result force has been the common means of unseating them. In the modern world ownership of the tools of production, i. e. of jobs, is the technique of ap- propriating surplus goods. During the develop- ment of large scale social production this tech- nique has served the social function of pro- viding the accumulation of capital goods, with- out serious threat to the welfare of the masses of working producers. In fact, the condition of the masses has reached under this technique heights undreamed of by the slaves and serfs of other times. The very nature of the de- velopment has, however, led to the concentration of wealth. It must continue to do so. With income from ownership centralized and the pos- sibility of using that income for developing fur- ther producing facilities constantly narrowing, we have reached a point where the welfare and security of great masses is seriously threatenedL That is what constitutes the menace to our peace. Japan, Italy, Germany, need colonies not be- cause of over-population with relation to what they can produce, but because they cannot utilize their surpluses in a manner that will cause the necessities to flow into the hands of their pop- ulations. Economic pressures are driving them to war, yes, but the necessities are not those imposed by nature.s Since the introduction of power and scientific method has been developed we are capable of producing at an unbelievable rate. Because we insist that traditional methods of distributing the product be adhered to after a situation has developed in which those methods do not work we are faced with sociological phenomena that threaten our peace. Distribution of the right to use goods must be organized in such a way as to satisfy the needs of the masses. This cannot be done without altering traditional rights in the ownership of property. Major changes in the distribution process are sure to be made, however, by the masses themselves. The peoples of Europe are very near to adjust- ing their economic relationships by changing the ownership of properties which are social in func- tional nature to social ownership. A war crisis will precipitate the change and it is likely to be BENEATH **** "amaSyBonth illams.a~na WEDNESDAY marking that eventful date when your columnist attained his majority, he rashly asked a few of the brethren into the motor city for scotch, of which they consumed two fifths, for dinner at which two of them passed out, and for power, during which they } hooked him for eight bucks. The day however was not a complete failure due to the fact that sometime during it he ac- quired, among other tokens of manhood, Webb Miller's I Found No Peace. Webb Miller, like Fred De Lano, grew up in the environs of Dowagiac. From a timid, delicate farm boy who could never bear to see blood shed and who remained a vegetarian for the first 20 years of his life, Miller became a cub reporter for the Chicago American where he covered a hundred murder cases, followed the pursuit of Pancho Villa across the Mexican border, and thence hied himself to France where he scooped every other correspondent on the front in getting out news of the Armistice. But Webb Miller, who today is still afraid of people, had just begun. He tells the story behind the fake armistice of November 8th- the first authentic story about that grim hoax in 18 years. After the war Miller covered the trial and execution of Henri Desire Landru, Blue Beard of France, who seduced, robbed, and murdered 283 women. In 1930 Miller journeyed to India where he witnessed British troops with long handled swords mow down both the passive followers of Gandhi and the Indian terrorists. When the Ethiopian war broke out Webb Mil- ler was with the Italian forces in Africa and together with Floyd Gibbons scooped the world on the outbreak of the war-scooped it so com- pletely that the United Press had the story three quarters of an hour before the Italian Foreign Office. p And so he went, from one great adventure to another, this bashful, impressionable Michigan farm boy with a flair for graphic description. Whether he rode on the Graf Zeppelin or wit- nessed an execution, he still remained sensitive by temperament and although he has reached the top of his chosen field, his boyhood charac- teristics have not been materially changed. Despite everything which Webb Miller has seen and written during 24 years in a ringside seat, he still would trade it all for his youthful ideal- the peace of Thoreau's Walden. As he says, "I Found No Peace." WHEN RECENTLY two well-known Campus gentlemen spent a hilarious evening in Detroit, they became acquainted with a duet of intriguing taxi dancers at one of the better Woodward Avenue establishments. The adventurers, both members of a prominent Campus fraternity, tossed out a fine line of bull, but as the evening wore on, caution flew with it and the brethren told the gals, should they ever be in the vicinity of Ann Arbor, to drop up to the House and have dinner. Saturday morning next a lilae envelope, heav- ily scented and addressed in a small fine hand, greeted the brethren upon their descent to breakfast.. The girls were going to Chicago and plannedj to stop over for Sunday dinner and see what a frat was like. An hour later, two harassed looking individuals were seen waving frantic thumbs out the Toledo road. One carried a suitcase. *, * * * ACE BAILEY who brings his Toronto Varsity here to engage Michigan's Wolverine hockey team Saturday night was once the king of stallers in the National Hockey League. In case you don't remember that far back, Bailey was a member of the Cotton, Blair, Bailey line which was so hot for the Maple Leafs a half dozen years ago. Whenever one of the Leafs was sent off the ice, out would come the Bailey, and either Cotton or Blair and put on a, real puck ragging exhibition. It was Bailey, incidentally who was probably more responsible than anyone else for the wide adoption in recent years of the helmet now worn by so many major league hockey players. Five years ago hockey suffered a bad loss and a black eye as well when Ace Bailey was almost killed. It was one of those unavoidable accidents which came as a result of pure chance, but- the papers gave it a sensational play and it put hockey on the spot. The Leafs were playing Boston before a ca- pacity crowd. Eddie Shore made one of his famous solo dashes down the ice and missed. It was while Shore was racing to get back to his defense post that he crashed into Bailey and almost killed him. Doctors despaired of the Leaf flanker's life, but after months in the hospital, Bailey recovered. His hockey career as a player was over, but as a coach Ace had just begun. Bailey loafed around for a year, slowly regain- ing his strength, and then he undertook coaching the Toronto Varsity, one of the best college hockey teams in either the United States orb Canada. Saturday night Ace Bailey will be sitting on the bench while his charges tackle the Wol- verines, but you can depend on one thing ands that is they will know how to handle the puck- to taking the action that a sound logic dictates, i.e., in helping to organize the forces necessary to make the adjustments necessary to remove the causes of war. If war cannot be avoided the effort will not be lost because the same approach is the one to be used in shortening the dura- IT ALL Sheepnot Men What R.O.T.C. Achieves (From The Daily Texan, which is opposing the introduction of cam- pus military training.) ONCE UPON A TIME, in the not- so-distant past, everyone was supposed to believe that the best means of creating character, manli- ness, and moral fibre was some form of military training administered at an age when an individual was more susceptible to innovation than he would be when older. However, not everyone believed that such was the case at that time, and now we are at the point where we have to make no pretext at believing it. The obsolescence of such an idea, i.e., "the army makes men" is best verified by some of our recognized leading American educators who from time to time have expressed them- selves in no equivocal manner. Pro- fessor W. L. Cox of the New York University states, "Compulsory mili- tary training in public schools in contrary to the spirit and purposes of a democratic society; it endangers the rational and peaceful settlement of domestic and international disputes, and it stultifies youths and adults whom it keeps in a state of perpetual infantilism." Professor John Dewey, who has taken an active part in the campaign on college campuses for the abolition of the R.O.T.C., has stated, "Education of youth and the reflex of that education on parents and friends is an important part of the forces which have militarization for their consequence." Support for the opinions of Pro- fessors Dewey and Cox is not diffi- cult to find, if we look for a moment at policies and publications issuing from the War Department itself. Ap- pearing in the "Infantry Journal" for December, 1982, is an article by Cap- tain John H. Burns, the following suggestion is made: "The military problem, psychologically speaking, resolves itself into taking every ad- vantage of the herd instinct to in- tegrate the mass. This military pro- cessing of civilians is a purely em- pirical thing, but it is an eminently sound one. It has been handed down from past armies." This is the pro- cess resorted to in creating leader- ship, character, and manliness, and it seems in direct conflict with the idea of developing character by per- mitting the individual to expand to the fullest extent in those particular capacities that he is favorably en- dowed with. Instead of furnishing the means whereby the particular characteristics can be developed, it seeks to leaven the whole of person- ity into a compact and obedient and uniform mass. In the same article, Mr. Burns states: "Three things, then, are fos- tered by close order drill; one, the growth of herd consciousness; two, the development of the habit of au- tomatic obedience; and three, the recognition and acceptance of lead- ers, and the belief that these lead- ers have herd approval behind their actions." T IS OUR BELIEF that students of The University of Texas are not so docile and susceptible as to de- sire or to tolerate the existence on, the campus of any organization who sought to carry out close order drill. In our definition of character, there may be many who would disagree with us, but we are rather certain that no one familiar with the pur- poses of our present educational structure in character development will deny that the conceptions of the War Department and the R.O.T.C. are not consistent with the aspirations and practices of a co- operative democracy in which men, women, and youth act on their own initiativeand according to their own judgment. In 1922 at the Conference on Training for Citizenship and Na- tional Defense, the Secretary of War said: "The War Department finds it- self is a peculiar dilemma. While the Federal Government is respon- sible for national defense, for the raising and maintenance of armies and a navy, the physical, moral, and mental education of our youth is re- served to the states and to the people. The Federal Government finds itself with a large responsibility, but with no jurisdiction over the fundamental factors upon which success ultimately depends." It is no wonder then, that students and thoughtful educators do not desire the establishment of military training in our educational institutions, especially when it is supervised and administered by those who have declared that their purpose is to create a growth of herd consciousness, strict obedience, and respect for uniformed authority. One more quotation from the "Mil- itary Bible" issued to the R.O.T.C. in 1925 is found a slightly inconsis- tent instruction insofar as develop- ing manhood and character is con- cerned: "To finish an opponent who hangs on, or attempts to pull you to the ground, always try to break his hold by driving the knee or foot to his crotch and gouging his eyes with your thumbs."
