SILVERMAN The Independace Of The Irish... HE NEW IRISH constitution, re- T cently promulgated by Eamon de Valera, to be put before the people in June, represents the fruition of theIrish leader's own private theory as to what status his nation should have-internal independence with external asso- ciation with the British Empire. In 1921, when the Irish delegates returned from London with the signed treaty with them, a treaty which had been signed without de Val- era's knowledge, de Valera issued his famous "Document No. 2" in which he expressed this idea of an Ireland competent to govern itself without any assistance from outside, but in which he still retained the theory of external associa- tion with the British Commonwealth of Nations. Under the existing constitution, the Irish Free State is declared in Article 1 to be "a co-equal member of the Community of Nations forming the British Commonwealth of Nations." LastI December, taking advantage of the abdication. of Edward VIII, de Valera abolished the governor, general's post, removed the king from the consti- tution and made the following constitutional provision with which to carry on the Free State's external relations with the British empire: The Executive Council was authorized "to the extent and subject to any conditions which may be determined by law, to avail itself, for the pur- pose of the appointment of diplomatic and consular agents and the conclusion of interna- tional agreements, of any organ used as a con- stitutional organ for the like purposes by any of the nations referred to in Article 1 of this constitution." On the following day, Dec. 12, the Dail Eireann, the Irish parliament, passed the External Rela- tions Bill which provided that as long as the Free State "is associated with the following na- tions, that is to say, Australia, Canada, Great Britain, New Zealand, and South Africa, and so long as the king recognized by those nations as the symbol of their co-operation continues to act on behalf of each of those nations (on the advice of the several governments thereof) for the pur- poses of the appoinltment of diplomatic and con- sular representatives and the conclusion on in- ternational agreements, the king so recognized may, and is hereby authorized to, act on behalf of Saorstat Eireann for the like purposes as and when advised by the Executive Council to do so." Thus Ireland was rid of the governor-general, who technically approved all legislation in the name of the king. The necessity of the governor- general's signature was nothing more than legal fiction, to be sure, but nevertheless Ireland had successfully asserted its right to govern its inter- nal affairs in name as well as in fact. Almost simultaneously de Valera had through the use of this "constitutional organ" made it quite clear that Ireland did not wish to sever its relations EDITOR'S NOTE: This concludes the series of articles by the section chairmen of the Spring Par- ley outlining the issues expected to arise in each of their panels this Saturday. General sessions of the Parley begin this afternoon. O 'r Int rnational Relations By ROBERT W. FRENCH 1SOLATION or Cooperation seems to be the main problem of "Our International Relations" at the present time. Each of these alternatives raises a larger number of questions peculiar to itself. In the adoption of an isolationist policy, what part shall our "national defense" play? Is a big navy a guarantee of peace or a provocation to war?. Then again shall this isolation be a perma- nent feature of our national policy or merely one to go into operation when a war starts abroad? Shall we protect, as neutrals, the "freedom of the seas?" Should an embargo be declared on the shipment of all goods to belligerents? Or should we instead condu'ct our trade on a "cash and carry" basis?" Shall we prohibit the exten- sion of credit to belligerents? If we decide on cooperation, these problems arise: Should we "cooperate" by joining the League of Nations? Or is the League a dead in- strument? Should the United States call a world economic conference to repartition "the spoils?" Or should we join the anti-Fascist alignment? What part should we take in the Spanish civil. war, if any? In the faculty panel the Far Eastern question will undoubtedly be illuminated by Prof. Charles Remer, acting chairman of the economics de- partment. The question of international law must take a large part in any discussion of neu- trality and this is the field of Prof. Lawrence Preuss of the political science department. Prof. Arthur Aiton of the history department will probably lead any discussion of the Spanish civil war. European diplomacy and the growing Fascist-anti-Fascist balance of power will prob- ably be handled by Prof. Harlow J. Heneman of the political science department and Prof. Preston Slosson of the history department. Our Religion By WILLIAM WILSNACK JOHN MacMURRAY, the modern British phi- losopher, prefaced some remarks to a group of students in New York last summer with this statement: "Today the question to ask is not 'What is religion?' but 'What is religion about?' The Spring Parley this year will undoubtedly call out many students who have no interest any longer in pedantic definitions, but who are eager to discover the meaning of religion through its application. What does religion contribute to experience? What does religion contribute to a philosophy of life? How can one benefit from these contributions? The concerns of religion bring forth these questions. How is religion today related to the new collectivism? How is the psychiatric role of religion justified in the making of personal ad- justments - to an old or to a new social order? Can intellectual processes alone bring us to a religious belief or must experience of some other kind be involved? Can certain of the present practices-service ritual, the sacraments, etc.- be justified on aesthetic grounds? Is Communism a religion? Is Fascism a religion? DURING the Parley sessions the Church will certainly not be disregarded. It will come under attack and scrutiny. Is the Church cap- able of adjusting itself rapidly enough to mod- ern social trends and the demands of the present era? Consideration of religion in the light of out- moded evangelism, of primitive myth, or of cur from a complete break from the British community of nations. In the new constitution, the first article now makes no reference to the British empire and states that the Irish nation has the power, among others, to "determine its relations with other na- tions." This would tend to indicate that de Val- era really is contemplating a complete break from the empire. However, in Paragraph 4 of Article 29, dealing with foreign relations, is the statement that for purposes of conducting its external relations, "'the government may, to such extent and subject to such conditions, if any, as may be determined by law, avail or adopt any organ, instrument or method or procedure used or adopted for the like purpose by the members of any group or League of Nations with which Eire is or becomes associated for the purpose of international cooperation in matters of common concern." Further, in Paragraph 1 of Article 50 of the new constitution is the statement that any laws in* force just prior to the coming into ef- fect of the new constitution that are not in- consistent with it shall be in force until repealed or amended. It would appear, therefore, that the old Ex- ternal Relations Bill is still in effect and that the king will have, until the bill is repealed or amended, the power to appoint consular and diplomatic representatives for the Irish Free State. We do not feel that the bill is incon- sistent with Paragraph 4 of Article 29 of the new constitution, quoted above. The evidence seems to point to the realization by de Valera of his idea of internal indepen- dence with an "association" with the British Commonwealth. This latest move by de Valera amounts to an independent republic asserting that it does not belong to the British Common- wealth and then in the same document virtually declaring its right to ally with Great Britain for n,,rnncoc whI~ich *if.nn,, 4 *.c'nf cennifv R, P. ,7 - escape mechanism may keep the uncritical from thinking on these questions. Many today, how- ever, recognize these characterizations as "red herrings" and fail to let them cisrupt serious consideration of the problems. Informative as well as conflicting views will probably be forthcoming from these four fac- ulty members and two ministers on the panel: Dr. Edward Blakeman, councilor in religion; Prof. John F. Shepard of the psychology de- partment; Prof. Harley H. Bartlett, chairman of the botany department; Prof. William A. Mc- Laughlin of the romance languages department; Rev. H. P. Marley of the Unitarian Church; and Rev. Henry Lewis of the Episcopalian Church. 1Our Social, Life BUy TlEIMA ZWERDLING AMONG the many and diverse issues which have caught the attention of several previous Spring Parleys on campus, none have been more hardy perennials than those centered about the title, "Our Social Life-Freedom or Restraint." The problem of student marriage and its effect on one's university life, the still-existent double standard of morality, the very question of what is morality, the advisability of inter-racial mar- riages, the function of psycho-analysis as a guide to the maladjusted, the question as to whether fewer college women marry because they are less demanded or more depanding, thessue as to whether the administration should control the social life of the students, the problem of sex education and its place on campus, should birth control information be disseminated freely, the validity of the concept of "race suicide," the sig- nificance of the present divorce rate-all these have been recurrent subject-matter for innumer- able informal bull-sessions in sorority, fraternity, league house and dormitory. However, rarely have they the benefit of such expert testimony as is to be provided at the Spring Parley sec- tion on "Our Social Life." Those in the panel who will participate in the discussion and be available for questioning on these and kindred issues will be Dr. Robert Dieterle, psychiatrist; Dr. Nathan Sinai of the public health department; Dr. Theophile Ra- phael, psychiatrist; Dr. Warren Forsythe, head of the Health Service; and Richard Fuller and Prof. Arthur E. Wood, both of the sociology de- partment. Our Art 4y HARRY BETHKE LAST YEAR a great deal of interest centered about the controversial issues which arose in the Parley section on art. Questions were un- covered and discussed by some of the most com- petent and brilliant men on the faculty. Nor did the discussion ever degenerate into mere empty rhetoric. Judging by the signs, a great. deal of Satur- day's discussion will revolve about today's heated controversy over propaganda in art-in litera- ture, the theatre, in painting and sculpture. The question will surely arise: Can propaganda ever be forged into great art? To answer that, per- haps it will first be necessary to establish the relation of art to the vital issues of life in a modern society. THOSE WHO ATTEND the Parley will also want to know some of the contributions made to art by modern post-Impressionist move- ments, perhaps to decipher such, things as Sur- realism in painting, the seeming discords o.such modern composers as Ravel and Stravinsky, and the question, whether or not jazz has anything to contribute to music. There will probably also arise for debate the eternal controversy over programmatic music versus pure music. Then there is the problem of modern trends in archi- tecture. What is functionalism? Are the purely decorative elements to be eliminated from ar- chitecture entirely? Of the faculty panel members William Doty is more than well known to all the musicians in town. Jean-Paul Slusser, a penetrating in- terpreter of historical and contemporary move- ments, is himself one of Ann Arbor's leading painters. Warner Rice of the English Depart- ment is widely respected as one of the most broadly and thoroughly informed men on the entire faculty; his colleague Mentor Williams is well known as one of the most progressive young men in the English department. And it would hardly be possible to select a more com- petent man than DeWitt Parker, professor of aesthetics, to supply principles for binding to- gether the divergent interests of all the others. Or Economic System By NORMAN L. SHARFMAN AMONG the pertinent economic questions of immediate importance are the following: Are we heading toward inflation? Have prices risen too fast? Should price fixing be attempted? Was the Wagner Act fair to employers? Will the CIO and AF of L conflict undermine the op- portunities of labor? How can industry absorb the unemployed millions? Should working hours be further restricted? What shall we do with the TVA? How can we harness technological ad- vance? Why not increase taxes and balance the budget? What can the United States do with all its gold? Can the inward flow of foreign capital be effectively controlled? How can the position of the farmer be permanently im- proved? Is the PWA still necessary? HREE MEMBERS of the economics depart- ment and Prof. Charles Jamison of the bus- iness administration school will compose the fac- ulty panel. Professor Jamison will probably be Ann Arbor this year, will have its; last slowing of the season tonight and tomorrow night. The picture will be the UFA Production, Emil und die Detektive. Although it is German made, let me hasten to assure you that it was made before the reign of Herr Hitler. Don't make the mistake of suspecting the Art Cinema League: of Nazi propaganda. To quote froml the New Statesman and Nation (Lon- don): "If ever a film were made for the general public, it is this one. There is nothing highbrow in either the good or the bad sense of the term in Emil. It is unpretentious, straight- forward, gay and utterly delightful, and it is difficult to see what people can like if they don't like Emil ... "Emil creates the impression of being written and directed by light- hearted, civilized and happy people, who understand the fun of existence and have communicated their gaity to the troop of children who enter so gaily into the jest." It will be at the Mendelssohn to- night and Saturday at 8:15 p.m. r A - American Artists Cokgress PENING TODAY in the South Gallery of Alumni Memorial Hall is an exhibition of paintings by members of the American Artists Congress, the last offering of the sea- son by the Ann Arbor Art Associa- tion. This is one of a series of eight+ shows sponsored simultaneously by the Congress in leading cities of the country, and, coming from its recent showing in Detroit, represents thej work of Michigan members of the+ organization plus a group of work by some of the better known artists of the New York chapter. The American Artists Congress, ac- cording to an officer of the Ann Ar- bor Art Association, is a nation-wide organization of over 600 painters and+ sculptors, among them many of the more distinguished artists of the country, banded together on the basis of. a social program "For Peace, For Democracy and for Cultural Prog- ress." Its general objectives include a crusade against war and fascism, opposition to lynching and to social injustice, and an attempt to help the American artist realize his responsi- bility to himself and to the society of which he is a part. One of the most successful of its activities to date has been the nation-wide print show, "America-1936"; shown here last December. Its recent New York exhibition, held in Rockefeller Cen- ter, was said by some critics to rep- resent the highest artistic average of any group show of the past sea- son. The exhibition continues through June 4, and is open daily, including Sundays from 2 to 5 p.m.; admission always free to University students. THE SCREEN Marked Woman AT THE MICHIGAN IN SPITE of occasional mildly over- played scenes, there is enough dramatic dynamite in this story of clip joint hostesses and their mur- derous underworld-emperor boss to make it an outstanding picture. Edward Cianelli, handles his role, an impersonation of "Lucky" Luci- ano, New York gangster chief re- cently 4agged by Prosecutor Thomas Dewey, with great skill, but is over- shadowed by the splendid perfor- mance of Humphrey Bogart, who de- serts his usual bad man characteriza- tion to play the D.A. hero, whose big problem is to get Bette . Davis and her prostitute friends to testify against Cianelli, whose successful terrorization of witnesses has kept him out of range of the law. In this he is unsuccessful until the brutal killing of her younger sister turns tough-girl Bette against her employ- er. The horror of big-time racketeer methods is brought out perhaps more fully than ever before in a motion picture. Most effective scenes are the beating-up Miss Davis receives at the hands of Ciapelli's strong arm men as a warning not to double cross, and the escape of Isabel Jewell from the death squad in a pent house via the automatic elevator. The success of Warner Brothers in exploiting actual crime-in-the-news for film material, as in "Scarface," and "Black Legion," is once more demonstrated in one of the really ex- citing shows of the season. Unfortunately the bill at the Mich- igan is slightly marred by the maud- lin nonsense of a reel of Hollywood celebrities growing obnoxiously senti- mental in an effort to levy contribu- tions from the audience for a "Will (Continued from Page 2) I Lions may be arranged through Mrs. Clever, Room 102 Mason Hall.
