OMPLETELY emasculated, de- prived of its only realistic provi- sions, the bill which started out to eliminate the causes of America's entrance into the World War now lies forlorn somewhere in between the Sen- aIte and the House, martyred to Congressional "compromise." The Nye committee's investigation reveagled that by and large the three traceable causes of America's plunge "for democracy" in 1917 were these: (1) the loss of American life and property on the high seas; (2) the linking of American financial interests with the victory of one side through the extension of loans and credit; (3) the development of a wartime boom in trade in 1914, 1915, and 1916, and the accompanying in- flation that made our prosperity so dependent upon the continuation of warfare that any threat to that booming trade meant panic and depres- sion. With this in sight the committee's recommen- dations for a permanent "neutrality" policy to go into operation immediately upon the outbreak of war abroad and isolate us from any loose sparks was embodied fairly well in the Nye-Van- denburg-Bone-Clark Bill. Entering the Senate Foreign Relations Committee along with several alternate plans designed to replace the tempo- rary legislation expiring April 30, the bill emerged as the Pittman Resolution showing remarkable concessions to financial and shipping interests. After passing the Senate by a 63 to 6 vote and dallying in the House for nearly two months the bill has finally reached the state where all the "vested interests" involved, except perhaps the munitions makers, have been satisfied. In a previous editorial we analysed the Pitt- man Resolution and applauded its desertion of the historic policy of "freedom of the seas." We pointed out that the bill made no attempt to prevent the abnormal boom in trade after the outbreak of war abroad; it did not prevent the loan of money or the extension of credit to na- tionals of belligerent countries although it did to governments; and it did not amply provide for the prevention of transshipment to bel- ligerents of materials originally exported to other neutrals. Now even the attempt to prevent the loss'of American property and lives on the high seas has been sabotaged. To prevent the loss of American life and pro- perty upon the high seas, the original plan in- volved a mandatory "cash and carry" basis for all trade with belligerents. In other words there would be no possibility for loss of American pro- perty at sea since all purchases intended for the use' of belligerents would have to be paid for be- fore they left our shores, i.e., "cash." There would be no possibility of loss of American life at sea since no goods shipped to begigerent could be transported on American ships, i.e" "carry." And further it was to becoihe illegal for a "cash and carry" basis. But of what shall this list of contraband of war consist? War is no longer fought by small armed bands. There is no longer any such thing as a non-combattant. Thus every conceivable commodity from food through clothing, cotton, steel and oil is doomed to be listed as contraband by one of the warring nations. What are the possibilities of a wartime pres- ident placing trade in such a long list of com-' modities on the "cash and carry" basis after war has started and our trade has once begun to boom? If in time of peace, without the impetus of a booming war trade, the manufacturers' lob- bies can erase "cash and carry" from a proposed bill, is there any reason to believe that a Presi- dent could write it on again in time of war? If as we said once before the Pittman Resolu- tion tried to build a bomb-proof cellar and leave it roofless, this proposed bill doesn't even take us underground.

Peace And Spanish Democracy To the Editor: The Peace meeting of April 22 demonstrated clearly, I believe, that there are many different and diverse ways of approaching the problem of peace, and many different ways of acting in regard to it. Peace action, according to the in- dividual's belief, can range from an almost com- plete passivity to a strong and vigorous action towards the desired goal of peace. The campus is fortunate in having the opportunity of hear- ing a young man who has put into practice this last type of peace expression. I refer to Mr. Da- vid Mackenzie, who is being brought to Ann Arbor on April 28 by the Student Alliance an(l the Friends of Spanish Democracy. Mr. Mack- enzie was a medical student in Scotland, a leader of the Scottish student movement, and secretary of the Scottish Peace Congress. He comes of a distinguished family in British affairs. When the civil war in' Spain broke out, Mack- enzie left college to join the International Brig- ade, with which he fought in Madrid during the past winter. At first blush, there appears to be a contradiction between a desire for peace and participation in a civil war, but further analysis shows this to be fallacious. War is not the product of malevolent minds nor of bad men; it is neither produced nor prevented by legalisms, legislation, letters eo Congressmen and weak resolve. It is the product of certain world forces, inherent in our social structure, which will con- tinu to produce war so long as they are per- mitted to be dominant. The revolt of Franco in Spain was dictated by a form of social philosophy and backed by cer- tain economic groups both in Spain and else- where. Franco had as his aim the destruction of Spanish democracy, the annihilation of all liberal sentiment and thought, the setting up of a military, repressive dictatorship at the expense, if necessary, of millions of lives. Thus, any ac- tion taken in defense of the government of Spain is not only a defense, of democratic prin- ciples, of rule by the people, but is a blow against the forces of reaction which live on and 'for war. And in this way, support of the Spanish government is support, in an active, actual and dynamic way, of universal peace in the only way in which it can ever be realized. Mr. Mackenzie represents this new spirit in youth; he is a man who has done what he could in defense of his principles, putting his life in danger more than once. I think that we have a lot to learn from such a man, and that there is much he can tell us, not only of his personal experiences, but of their significance. Let us all support Spain by attending at the meeting today at 4:30, in the ballroom of the Union, admis- sion free. -J. All For Love To the Editor: I hesitate to present a letter that expresses thp views that this one does. It is not that I am reluctant on account of doubt. The nature of the. subject is one so closely identified with emotion that perhaps I shall be accused of pre- senting an argument that is incited solely on emotional grounds. Perhaps I am, but it makes no difference, so long as the argument is ac- curate. In short I present sex, and herein view with alarm not those who display it, but those who are shocked by it. Jordan Hall at present is in the process of being thoroughly 'cleansed.' Apparently the move that is now being taken has been under consideration for the past year, and the defi- nite steps that are now manifest probably cul- minate a great deal of stealthy planning. The vigilante system has been instituted. The coun- cil-or sponsor group-is now listening with bat- 'Id" breath to the horrible tales of the gross activ- ity which takes place in the rear parlor. The penalties-social probation, and the banishment of the offending male caller for a council-desig- nated time-are expected to be sufficient. Al- ready the "test" case has been presented, judged, and the girl promptly declared guilty, to the ob- vious satisfaction of the judging body. What, then, am I so vehemently opposed to? Am I against the system that has been instituted for the annihilation of the necking menace? Do I speak only for the wild satisfaction of trying to start something? If these letters are true, they are- only secondary. Primarily I am appalled at the outlook that is characteristic of so many girls --of at least enough to vote the new drive BENEATH **** IBy SOnlR ~ tums=- . -._. WALKER GRAHAM, well-known campus fig- ure, was hitting it up in the Duffeld Club, swank but shady Detroit dine and dance spot of a Saturday night. The floor show featured a strip tease act plus a fan dancer and the boys sat spellbound until the inevitable conclusion. Graham, who previously gained notoriety when he began taking his lady love for seven o'clock breakfast in the Arboretum, was in the act of ordering another round of drinks. The stunning young brunette who five minutes before had been coyly manipulating the feathery fans, brushed past his shoulder, full dressed, as he turned in his chair. Graham gasped as he recognized the emblem on her chic shirtwaist. It was the blazing arrow of Pi Beta Phi. *: *. * * NBEKNOWN to the Campus at large an ac- credited labor organizer about a month ago attempted to sell unionism to the employes of King-Seeley. He was totally unsuccessful and nothing more was thought about the incident until Wednesday when the same man was booked in the local hoosegow, declared insane. He had been picked up in Detroit and returned here to await trans- fer to Eloise. Asked how he knew the man was insane, a newspaperman replied that when the would-be laborite was confined in Detroit he maintained that he had found "Heaven on Earth." "And," continued the reporter, "he was in a ward bed in Receiving Hospital. He's absolutely hopeless." DETROIT PAPER is running a series of ar- ticles explaining to members of both sexes how they can make a hit with one another. They suggest five methods for breaking the ice. One of them: "I hope you won't mind my being personal, but I've been admiring your tie. I want to buy one for my cousin and I wonder if you'd mind telling me where you got it." Another: "Why don't you sit beside me? I'm lonely and want to be entertained and you look as if you could do it." And yet a third: "You look like an athlete. I'll bet you golf a lot." Which makes us sit back in the sheltering com- placency of student days as we bask under the protecting wing of mother University and con- sider that after all a college education is prob- ably worth something. "You look like an athlete" ...indeed. what mad reason do they give vent to their self-righteous indignation? How account for their narrow-minded, warped puritanism? To think that they have the nerve to consider them- selves and their ideals as exemplary of morality and propriety! If morality means the repression of normal impulses; if morality condones sub- verting of natural desires; if morality cannot bear the display of a kiss-which at the most is a sublimated form of sex-tien, Satan, I idol- ize you. For if this is morality, the basest hypo- crisy conceivable is a virtue. "What ho!" they cry. "Our parents! What about them? Suppose they were to walk in upon such goings-on?" Well, suppose they were? The worst that they would see is a kiss. And is a kiss so revolting? Society invented it merely for use as a symbol of affection. Perhaps the custom is silly and unnecessary, but it certainly isn't lech- erous. I wonder if parents are so naive as to think that affection doesn't exist in a college town. Suppose some curious parent wanted to know where students went for "spooning." What place could the student go to, if not to his or her residence? What parent would balk if his girl should say to him: "There are 500 girls living in the dorm. Naturally, some of them are af- fianced. Here, father, is the only place that they can spoon.' " To me, it is appalling that college should serve to build up false values; that it should suggest that sex is only a medium of snickers and filthy, winking chuckles. It is not the affectionate, petting couples that are warped or misguided. It is those who cannot bear them that are thus. In the "test" case that was disposed of so effi- ciently, the girl was accused of holding a boy's head against her while she stroked his head in an affectionate manner. How the grim-visaged judiciary could see nothing except iniquity in her actions is amazing and disgusting. The girl was fined for being sweet, loving, affectionate, and attentive! What a price for possessing such lovely virtues! To conclude, I do not want to give the im- pression that I am dealing with an incident. It is with a vicious attitude that I deal, I am fer- vently hoping that the whole movement will be appreciated for what it is, and that obvious steps are taken to abolish it. -Fred A. Thomson. Puizzledl By 'Pea ce' (From the Herald Tribune) To the Editor: I am somewhat puzzled as to the meaning of the word 'peace" as it is used here in Amer- ica. We hear of "peace" parades, "peace" cam- paigns, "peace" programs for the colleges, "peace" propaganda everywhere, yet peaceful citizens are not desired.
