NIGHT EDITOR: TUURE TENANDER- Mass Production Of Babies .. w bounties which were offered have recently been reduced-many Russians are still unaware of this fact-and the decline in the cost of living promised to the Russian population has be- come a fiction, with the cost of living actually rising. The Russian government, at least, now recognizes the folly of proceeding in too great haste and not adequately preparing for the increase in population. But not so Italy. Even the decrease in the number of marriages in face of governmental encouragement of mar- riages has not had any evident effect upon Mus- solini's program. In May 1929, the legal age for marriage for boys was reduced from 18 to 16 years, and for girls from ,15 to 14. Yet the number of marriages fell from 312,662 in 1930 to 283,603'in 1935. Modified race suicide is one result and the decadence of the institution of marriage through the legalization of adolescent prostitution is an- other result of Mussolini's policies. Another consideration which seems valid con- cerns the fact that through encouraging propa- gation without adequately preparing for the in- crease in population, and allowing boys 16 and girls 14 to assume the responsibilities of father- and motherhood, the general tone of the popu- lation in the long run may tend to be inferior. Haphazardly reared, if particularly fortunate, in a totalitarian regimented state, by mentally im- mature parents and a lustful paternalistic gov- ernment, it seems plausible that the youths of the next and successive generations may be of inferior quality to that of the present and past generations.

'Lynch' The Peace Council To the Editor: With a thrill of pleasure I realized that there are such straight-thinking, clean American- minded individuals as D. Stevenson and W.B.O. on the campus of our great university. It is just such people as these on whom we must rely to combat the pernicious activities as such panty- waists as the Peace Council. But letters to the editor are not enough. Persons of the caliber of D. Stevenson and W.B.O. must organize before it is too late. The Peace Council must be faced with a hundred per cent American organization, strong enough to tell it to shut up or leave town. And, if it should refuse to leave town, there would be plenty of Americans who would help ride the members out on a rail. Or country is in danger as never before. The largest armament expenditure in our history is all too small. We must have a line of steel and concrete between us and Canada. We must raise two lines of steel and concrete be- tween us and Mexico lest those foreigners invade us again as in 1848. We must fortify Alaska, Honolulu, the Philippines, Porto Rico, Guam, Midway Island, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, the Aleutian Islands, and the states around Maine and Vermont. We must prepare for invasion from Germany, France, Italy, Rus- sia, Great Britain, and all the states of the world including the Principality of Monaco, which I understand, has a standing army of over a hundred men. Our citizens must realize that when an air- plane is loaded to the gills with gasoline, it can cross the Atlantic in good weather. What is to prevent an airplane loaded to the gills with bombs tanks, and troops from making the cross- ing in bad weather? Nothing. We must have barracks in every city, gas masks in every cradle, machine guns in every kitchen, and compulsory military training from the ages of eighteen to thirty. We must remember that war is a pro- ductive process, and that since the dawn of time it has been the army which has most advanced civilization. Let us constitute the army as the sovereign power in these United States. Menaced from abroad by Ireland and from with- in by the Peace Council, army control is the only way by means of which true Americans can find security. Take heed to the lesson offered us by China. D. Stevenson is right. A highly industrialized state like China was helpless before the aggres- sions of backward states like Britain, France, and Germany, simply because these latter had armies. Yes, my fellow countrymen, 'we must crush the Peace Council-and it will not be diffi- cult, for the Peace Council is obviously composed of shirkers and cowards and other things. Do you want their wives, mothers, and sweethearts (I almost left out daughters) in 'the arms of the yellow peril? No. -Wiemus Phite. Damned With Faint Praise To the Editor: First let me state that I believe the President's proposal for court reform is perfectly logical and justifiable, in order that 'you may be able to judge if I am writing this letter from a biased attitude. My criticism of The Daily concerns an article appearing in Thursday's issue in which you state that Mr. George Burke "Opposes Court Bill," and "Asks An Amendment." Your lead for the story then goes on to point out that Mr. Burke is a prominent Democrat who indicated his disap- proval of Mr. Roosevelt's Supreme Court plan and "rapped at those who damned with faint praise the recent Constitution-clarifying amend- ment conference; of which he was chairman."

T THE HALF-WAY MARK in the colossal masculine beauty contest to determine the fairest males on the Michigan Campus, Dick Goldcamp and Bert Reedy, separated by only two votes, have spurted into a commanding lead. The rest of the field is well strung out with th stretch runners still well back as the entries thunder down the back stretch. Here are the first ten choices in order of votes polled with a list of dangerous contenders who are still very much in the running: 1-Dick Goldcamp. 2-Bert Reedy. 3-Dick McKelvey. 4-Bob Campbell. 5--Jack Porter. 6-Donn Chown. 7-Morlye Baer. 8-Fletcher Platt. 9-Bob Mellencamp. 10-Johnny Getz. .. .Fred James, Ralph Bell, Russ Cole, Fred Shaffmaster, Art Renner, Russ Run- quist, Judd Spray, Lee Shinar, Bob Weeks, Bill Griffiths, Frank Dan~nemiller, Freddie Colombo... Compilation of votes will continue over the week-end and complete results will be made public next Tuesday morning. No ballots will be counted if post-marked later than midnight Saturday. THIS IS ONE of those unique week-ends in the world of sport, when there is no event which stands head and shoulders above the rest, Fred DeLano and giyself leave early this morning to cover the Western Conference Track front along Chicago's midway-a front where the stars and hopefuls of ten great schools will be competing for fame and honors in the classic indoor meet of the winter season. And down in Bloomington, Indiana the ace swimmers and divers of tie same League are bat- tling it out over the week-end for natatorial su- premacy and the crown which is emblematic of the Big Ten championship. Right here in Ann Arbor a third Western Con- ference finale on Friday and Saturday will find nine collegiate grunt and groan squads scrapping for leg scissors and hammer locks to bring a team title to their respective alma maters. Outside the college picture the sportlight is focused on big league traininghcamps where 16 ball clubs are getting in shape to excite the nation when the pennant chases get under way come the middle of April. And each one of those sixteen ball clubs is staging a series of publicity stunts and haggling over salary figuresj with recalcitrant stars for the benefit of the sports correspondent of a hundred newspapers- correspondents who must fill column afer col- umn of copy for the avid delight of ten million northern baseball enthusiasts. The final guns are being fired along the hockey front before the opening of the play-off series March 28 when the League-leading Detroit Red Wings will clash with the inspired Montreal Canadians in a five-game series to determine the the League Champion. And by the same token Normie Smith of the Wings and Dave Kerr of the New York Rangers are staging a real battle for the George Vezina trophy awarded annually to the goalie who has the least number of pucks pushed past him throughout the regular season. Smith leads at present with 92, but he's already over the mark immortal Chuck Gardner set when he practically single-handed placed the Stanley Cup in the laps of the Chicago Black Hawks with his great work in the nets-and died a short time later with a brain tumor. With interests encompassing five realms of sport this week a poll of the experts and their selections gives us: 1. The New York Yankees, bolstered over last year with a reinforced pitching staff and a host of rookie talent to repeat in the American League. 2. The St. Louis Cardinals, now supposed to have the ace corps of hurlers in organized baseball to edge out the Giants for the Na- tional League flag. 3. The Detroit Red Wings, as the most perfectly balanced powerhouse in hockey to out-last Les Caiadiens and go on to sweep the play-off series and the Stanley Cup. 4. Michigan's Maize and Blue to score a triple triumph in swimming, wrestling and track over the week-end and the Wolver- ines to come marching back into Ann Arbor with three Confereh a titles to the tune of "Michigan-Champioro, of The West."

Might I suggest that your copy-reader glance at the story once more and your "head" writer find out what the news of the story actually is before such editorials are duplicated in your -THE LUST FOR POWER, the desire. to "revive the ancient glories of Rome in a new and greater Italian empire," the economic urge for more land and more natural resources with the underlying militaristic and imperialistic motives seem to have completely blinded Premier Mussolini to the detrimental re- sults which his encouragement of mass produc- tion of children, beyond the point of diminish- ing returns, has wrought. Once again he is endeavoring to make his ultimata regarding births more stringent. At present the Fascist Grand Council is examining the feasibility of imposing new penalties upon bachelors and childless couples. This seems again urgent to Mussolini for his system of* rewards for couples having the largest families has evidently not brought about the desired results. His wrath over this failure is evident in his fortnightly severe attacks upon married persons unwilling to have children, with cartoons everywhere displayed ridiculing those who would rather have pets. But the appalling ramifications which Mus- solini's program entails were clearly set forth recently in an unusual article in an Italian paper by the director of pediatric clinics in Rome, Dr. Luigi Spolverini. In his article, Dr. Spolverini reveals in figures how utterly futile Mussolini's plan has-been and how the program has resulted in a modified race suicide, implying that ade- quate care is not provided !for the increase in births. The mortality rate at birth since 1926 has risen from nine-tenths to 1.72 per cent, Dr. Spolverini points out, while 1.3 infants of every 100 are dying before the end of the second year. Enteritis alone killed 55,000 Italian babies in 1935, Dr. Spolverini explained, adding that ailments of this kind are avoidable, implying a bitter condemnation of the government's pro- gram. Italy, however, is not alone in this race to increase the population so as to commandeer large military forces in the future and justify an imperialistic policy. Russia, along with the other Fascist nations, is entered in this struggle for population supremacy among the various countries. It is significant, however, to note that Russia, within one year of its inauguration, is acknowl-) edging her lack of foresightedness in issuing the "big family" decree. Kaminsky, people's com- missar of health in Russia, this week issued the statement that "we are poorly prepared for the great increase in births," that the increase in the Russian birthrate has outrun the plans to provide for it. Last sinmer Russia adopted policies equally as stringent as those inaugurated by Italy or Ger- many. For instance, the "big'° family decree" strengthened family ties, severely penalized divorce, forbade abortion and established heavy SCREEN DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN Publication in the Buletin is constructive notice to all m Sf tha figure to stand out above the con- glomeration of the rest of the picture is Lewis Stone who plays the steady- ing hand of a wise old lawyer and does it well. The show hurriedly carries a sur- geon of renowned skill from Balti- more, where his career was nipped inadvertently by a murder charge, to 'a small country town in Wisconsin. Instead of being left to brood there over the fate of events, the doctor, upon the encouragement of a retired lawyer in the town, enjoys a favor- able practice as a country physician. Meanwhile the sister-in-law of the patient, whom the doctor was ac- cused of murdering, tracks him down and prepares to wreak her revenge. Her intentions are stalled when she finds that the doctor is not such a bad sort of a fellow. But the show does not end here; it goes on to build up mass hysteria among the towns- people who then are all ready to lynch both the doctor and the enemy- turned-friend girl. One cannot criticize every pidture because it is not a classic, as this one certainly is not nor pretends to be. However, an ordinary-run picture which tries to handle a story far beyond the means of the casting or the direction deserves censuring. 'Britain Unfolds Gi antie NewT Naval Prooram Sir Samuel Hoare Hints At Proposed English Opposition To Italy LONDON. March 11.-(AP)-Great Britain unfolded today the outline of one of the mightiest naval building programs in history and dropped a warning hint of the power she will hold.-particularly in the Mediterran- ean. While Premier Mussolini, of Italy, cruised proudly to Libya at the head of his fleet, Sir Samuel Hoare, first lord of the Admirality, told the Houset of Commons that secret plans already had been laid to repel any ttack in ; narrow seas. Many observers believed that his remarks were pointed primarily at Italy, as an answer to British fears, that Italy might sometday seek to cuts the Empire life-line through the Mediterranean. Sir Samuel told Commons that, by the end of the year, Great Britain would have under construction 148 new warships. Introducing the 1937 naval esti- mates, Sir Samuel said they called for 80 more new ships-above those already authorized-at a cost of $525,325,000. Among them, he said, will be five capital ships, four air- craft carriers and 17 cruisers. He warned that if Britain allowed more time to pass before launching fully into the naval phase of her five-year $7,400,000,000 defense pro- gram, she would find herself in a po- sition of serious weakness in the face3 of naval powers that have been build- ing new battleships for some years. Sir Samuel made a gesture of friendship to the United States and to Germany in presenting the vast estimates. "Now and henceforth," he pro- claimed, "there can be no rivalry be- tween the American and British navies. Nor can there be any race! between Germany. and British naval armaments. "Our program is aimed at no coun- try. " Kruger And S.W.F. Reach Agreement' (Continued from Page 1) modify or amend this agreement, ten days written notice must be given to the other party.
