LEWIS, speaking in Mad- ison Square Garden Monday eve- ning, told ot the hardships German workers are facing under the Hitler dictatorship. He de- scribed the denial of civil liberties, the crushed labor movement, and finally the increased death rate among workers caused by speed up and starvation wages. The danger to workers in a fascist system is that they are denied the right to protest un- favorable conditions. In the Nazi state the worker must not disturb the national unity, par- ticularly when there is a falling standard of living, by his insistent demands for better wages, for shorter hours, for collective bargaining, for self-expression. In Italy the same situation pre- vails. Following his account of the degraded status of German labor Mr. Lewis went on to advise American workers to find self expression "in economic, in social and in political matters." The New York Herald Tribune in an editorial expressed its shock not so much at Lewis' sug- gestion for workers' self-expression but at the mode. It describes sit-down strikes as "brute force" and is alarmed lest the government of Michigan topple over at the sight of a collective bargaining agreement. Then, not too judiciously and less subtly than it supposes, the New York Herald Tribune hints at fascist reaction to labor's actions. Many observers and students of American affairs have also -expressed a sincere disquietude at the sight of industrial unions conducting strikes involving whole communities. They fear that labor will become too powerful, but they neglect to consider the relative power of labor and capital in the past and even at the present time. When in the early days of the National Re- covery Administration Donald Richberg was an- nouncing the- 200 and 300 per cent profits of large corporations it was natural for workers to express themselves economically by the strike. Labor, too, was trying to recover lost ground. The sit-down technique had not yet been perfected. Consequently many strikes were lost. With the industrial union, necessitated by the very nature of industry and the means of pro- duction, labor began to make headway. Eco- nomic gains resulted together with increased strength and prestige to labor organization. Higher prices, however, follow closely on the heels of labor's victories. In large industries and particularly in steel it has been suggested with sound basis that the rising costs could be absorbed instead of being passed on to the con- sumer. The rise is attributed to the shortage of supplies in relation to the demand and not wholly to the increased labor costs. This inability of labor through strikes to effect the editors throughout the country. This discontent may express itself in the f a- miliar expressions of fascism: denial of civil liberties, state control of labor unions, the crush- ing of any expression of labor. But legislation calculated to increase the re- turn to labor in terms of real wages, to do this without the impoverishment of the middle class is the more intelligent way. This can be only accomplished, we believe, through an amend- ment to the Constitution, which will allow fed- eral regulation of hours, wages and prices in in- dustry and agriculture. Cheap honeymoons and prizes for child-bear- ing are among Premier Mussolini's inducements to Italians to marry and multiply. Wings Of The Mor'ning AT THE MICHIGAN WINGS OF THE MORNING is a surprise pic- ture. It comes with little press agenting as one of the most beautifully photographed films you will see this year. And it introduces Anna- bella, one of the most refreshing new personal- ities in pictures. Besides this it has music sup- plied by John McCormack, a different and en- tertaining story, and a first rate performance by Henry Fonda. Wings of the Morning is a race horse, owned by a gypsy princess who fifty years before had been married to an Irish nobleman. After her husband's death and her being ostracized by his society, she has gone with her. people to Spain. But she and her great-grand daughter, a Spanish duchess return to Ireland because of the Spanish revolution, and plan to enter the horse in the derby. Annabella, the duchess, masquerades as a boy and provides some highly amusing scenes with Henry Fonda. They fall in love, of course, and in the meantime there are some excellent shots of the famous Epsom Downs. The only criticism of this film is in the slow pacing of some of its scenes-a fault which is common to many English pictures. But the pres- ence of Annabella in most of the scenes will keep your mind from any undue slowness. The picture is photographed entirely in color, and although some of the shots are not entirely realistic and a little bright, they are compensated for by the beauty of other scenes. If for nothing else, Wings of the Morning is worth seeing for an introduction to Annabella and the picture's photography. -C.M.T.

DEAR BONTH : Seeing as how my colleagues and I hold you in great esteem, we thought that you should be the one to whom we should turn with our righteous cause, as you are the great disher- outer of justice. There are certain persons who daily tread upon this great campus of ours (pardon me while I hang out the flag) who are in some way con- nected with The Daily, but in what capacity I have not as yet been able to ascertain. These, same persons (and a reliable source has it that they are women) have bored their way into the very soul of your journalistic enterprise and are using aforementioned publication, through the medium of certain well-known columns and pages to take out their personal dislikes and grudges against certain of their fellow students. They then run and hide behind the hitherto un- penetrated veil of "being on The Daily and you can't print anything about me." Now, my dear Bonth, is that nice? Is it play- ing cricket? Is there no recourse for the victims of these female idiosyncrasies? We rest our cause safely in your hands. Very truly yours, "Governor" God, The Five And Ten To The Editor: Last Sunday evening, the Hillel Foundation conducted a student sym- posium on the question, "Is There a Need for Religion?"

Northwestern (From The Daily Northwestern) THE SUIT of William Bell, former North- western Negro student, for $5,000 damages against the University for eviction from the campus beach last summer brings up once again the question of Negro discrimination on the campus. Bell, branded by the administration as a "trouble-maker" after the Pearson Hall affair of last year, has been castigated by members of the student body, faculty, administration, as "a Negro who doesn't know his place," "a publicity monger," "a person who deserves every slap he gets." It is well to remember that Bell's "trouble-making" of last year won the fght for Negro rights on three counts: first, Bell broke the un-written law that no Negro shall be allowed to stay a a university dormitory; second, he was the fifirst Negro to use the university swimming pool; and, third, he fought for and won the right to sit on the main floor of the Evanston theatres, hitherto prohibited to any members of the colored race. It is thought that Bell does not stand a ghost of a chance to win his $5,000 suit. The fact remains, however-- despite the technicality of the university's immunity from the Civil Rights Act as a charitable institution - that Bell was forcibly evicted from the campus beach and that the reason was his color. A high official of the university admits responsibility for this action, citing as the university's reason, "It is a policy to prohibit students from social con- tact with others who might find them ob- noxious." Many of the rooming houses in Evanston, ac- credited by the university, refuse to rent rooms to Negro students. In one case that has come to our attention, a Negro and a white student searched for rooms all over Evanston with no success. Both of them are now living at the Negro Y.M.C.A. In athletics, Negroes are, of course, discrim- inated against constantly at all universities. There is an unwritten law in the Big Ten, of which Northwestern is a member, that no Ne- groes shall be allowed on the basketball team, Discrimination of another sort, but just as effective, is implicit in the att'itude of many Northwestern professors who on the platform, consider it quite clever to 'refer to "niggers." Negroes at Northwestern, then, are discrim- inated against in the rooming house, the dining room, the theatre, the athletic field, and the Heidelberg '(From The Columbia Spectator) fOANYONE who still retains any illusions about German Universities under Hitlerism and who really believes that the celebration held at Heidelberg last June was an attempt by the German government to glorify the aca- demic tradition of Germany, the article on the University of Heidelberg which appeared re- cently in Nature, a British scientific weekly, should be a sufficient answer. It demonstrates how comniletely the Nazi ideology has pene- trated German academic circles. Herr Groh, Rector of the university, is termed in the current Heidelberg catalogue as Fuehrer Groh, according to Nature. The third most important officer of the University, listed ahead of the deans and other officers of instruction in the catalogue, is Ernest Kreuzer, "the offi- cially designated undergraduate leader at Heidel- berg of the Nazi Student Union of the Nazi Body." The 210 teachers which composed the insti- tutions staff in 1932 have been reduced to 180, of which onlyy 99 date back to the pre-Nazi regime. Tenure is non-existent for the staff. New appointment range from 31 per cent in the faculty of science to 36 per cent in theology, 38 per cent in law, 49 per cent in philosophy and 56 per cent in medicine. A list of some of the courses offered studer p in various departments of the university is more eloquent than mere words ,to show how absolutely the Nazi philosophy now dominates the intellectual life of Germany. In the De- partment of Law, the more important courses include Recent Political History, Folk Eelements in Law, Family Heredity, Folk and Race, and German Military Law. Under Philosophy, the students do research in The Nature of the Folk Community and. The Nature of Ancient German Religion. In History, special emphasis is placed on the history of war and military knowledge, Ger- many's Right to Colonies and Being and Action of the German Soldiery! Topics for discussion in the Student-Faculty Discussion Group are: Education of Nazi Youth, Labor Service and Military Law, Laws Concerning Race, Care for Healthy Inheritance, Eastward Expansion of Germany.'
