Anette Dionne 'weighs all of 311/ pounds now;
that Fraidy Cat was permitted to carry only 120

THE FORUM
Books For The Needy
To the Editor:
As an academic counselor in the College of
Literature, Science, and the Arts, I should like
to add my word of praise to the plan for estab-
lishing a lending library of text-books for the use
of needy students.
My contacts with students in the College have
been varied, and I can assure you that this prob-
lem of buying texts is a very serious one to a
surprisingly large number of students. I have
known some of them to go without proper meals
to save the funds necessary to buy books; many
have to depend on the good nature of class-
mates, and borrow the book to get the assign-
ment (a practice which is not satisfactory to
either the borrower or lender). Often several
students pool their resources and use one book
between them, which inevitably results in their
all wanting to use the book at the same time.
On occasion I have had to approve drop cards
for students when they were absolutely unable
to buy the necessary books for a particular
course.
Many faculty members have tried to helpout
in deserving cases by lending unused copies of
texts from their personal libraries, and I have
known some who went down into their own pock-
ets to buy some especially worthy student's books.
Obviously this can be at best only a casual
remedy. With whole-hearted cooperation from
the faculty and student-body in making dona-
tions of unwanted texts, and by adequately safe-
guarding the service from chiselers, the time
should soon come when no student need be
handicapped by the lack of necessary text-books.
-Arthur Van Duren, Academic Counselor.
Poland
To the Editor:
Judging by a recent communication to The
Daily the reader gets the impression that the
acts of oppression of the Jews in Poland are
ordinary occurrences resulting from the relation-
ship of two divergent groups. That the reader
may see that the encouraged or tolerated bru-
tality of the Poles towards the Jews is not of the
ordinary type, I shall here reproduce an account
of an incident which took place in Brisk, Poland,
on May 13:
"The Brisk pogrom, considered the cruelest in
the history of the new Polish domination, is hor-
rible not because of what happened on May 13th,
out because of the state of the official Polish
mind that led to the events of that day and
the public reaction that followed. The cause of
the pogrom was an encounter between a Polish
policeman trying to enforce the new anti-Sche-
chita law and a Jewish butcher. The anti-Sche-
chita law is a government measure of economic
restriction against Jews. The pistol was the po-
liceman's way of enforcing the economic curb.
The butcher, shot in the leg, retaliated and killed
his would-be-murderer. That, according to gov-
ernment interpretation, was "Jewish provoca-
tion."
"Mob justice" immediately expressed itself in
all its fury. Sixty Jews were wounded and the
rioters caused the destruction and looting of
property amounting to six million zlotys. If one
realizes that the average earning of a Polish
worker is ten zlotys a week, one can fully grasp
the enormity of the ruin wrought upon the
Jewish Community. The looting, however, was
described by the Polish press-some of them
government organs-as a simple and tolerable
act of "the poor Polish population, helping itself
to the merchandise taken from the Jewish
stores." The issuing of proclamations and the
sending of police detachments to the ruined
city to "restore" order is, in view of that attitude,
no more than an attempt on the part of a gov-
ernment to save its face before world public
opinion.
"The new tutor of Pilsudski's heirs, Hitler Ger-
many, had enough foresight at least to take Jew-
bating out of the hands of the mob and convert
it into a Government-controlled "business." The
Colonels need the mob rage directed at the
Jews, lest the rage of the landless millions of
peasants be turned against them. Do they
delude themselves with the hope that they will
always be able to make the Jews pay for the
privileged position of the landed nobility and
industrial aristocracy? The masters of Czarist
Russia had the same illusions."
The above account appeared in a Jewish pe-
riodical. Lest the reader question the objectivity
of the medium, I shall quote an editorial that
appeared in The Nation of May 22, 1937, page
578:
"Renewal of anti-Jewish riots in Poland, in
which fifty-three persons were injured in a few
days' time, has again fixed attention on the
desperate plight of the three million Jews in
that country. Although the Polish Jews have
long suffered harsh discrimination and lived
under unbelievable conditions of poverty, they
have only recently been made the object of a
systematic terror comparablefto that of Nazi
Germany, Jews are barred from many impor-
tant sectors of Polish economic life. They are
forbidden to bid for government, municipal, or
army orders; Jewish.workers have been excluded
from the government tobacco, salt, and match
monopolies; Jewish students are rapidly being
driven out of the universities; and the propor-
tion of Jews in state employment has fallen
to less than one per cent. Where official discrim-
ination does not exist, Polish nationalists have
taken the law into their own hands. Market
stalls belonging to Jews have repeatedly been
destroyed, hundreds of shops have been wrecked,
and Jews have been forcibly ejected from cafes
and restaurants. While the government has of-

THE CLOCK
with DISRAELI
THEY STOOD amid the debris of a half fin-
ished church, the moon streaming all around
them. It draughted gargoyles and grotesques
from the broken bricks, the half-built walls, and
the window casement was stark, unsurrounded by
the wall. Framed in it was the harsh form of some
denudedbtree and lights from Washtenaw cars
flashed by.
"It's good," he said, "to see these wheelbarrows
and the broken bricks, the steel beams and the
splashed plaster. It reminds me of before we
came to school, the building in the cities, the
crowds at noontime that used to lean over the
railings watching the fascinating gougings of
the steam shovels and the men, some of them
eating, the others done and working again. Men
sweating and straining, lifting and hoisting, and
all the while a building being gathered together
out of. the earth and the single bricks and the
dry, dusty cement." He looked at her. She
looked up at the moon-fringed clouds. "Then it
all stopped, there were no crowds and there were
no men, only people slinking along in the streets
and a million empty windows in all the unf in-
ished jobs started during the boom. This new
carillon tower, the graduate school and the dorms
and this new church certainly mean that the
depression is over."
She was uncertain as if she was ashamed
to asV. "Tell me, was it really bad? I only
heard about it or read it in the papers, and
I don't read the papers often."
THEY SAY this is a true one from University
of Missouri. We mean the one about the lad
who came to the sorority house to call on his
girl who was ill. Down in Missouri, it seems, a
fellow can see the gal in her room if she is ill.
So, he trotted up the stairs and deposited before
the admiring and lustrous eyes of his fair one,
a heaping bunch of roses. The sck one called
all her friends in and the lad basked in glory
for a while, then left. After he was gone, the
house mother came in, shooed the other visitors
out of the room, put the girl to sleep. That
done, she gathered up the roses and took them
down to the reception room and put them back
in the vase from which the loving swain had
lifted them.
Say what you will about the football team
losing games, or the baseball team's hitting
fading into a wisp of air, or the pat-ball players
on the tennis team. But still, we don't think it
is necessary at all, for the good of Michigan
tradition that the Pi Phi's should encourage
Michigan men to wear the blazing arrow on their
vests as a sign of troth-especially chaps from
that bulwark of virility, the Theta Delta Chi fra-
terniity.
Individua1ism
IShorts
(From the N.Y. Herald Tribune)
THE DECISION at Albany upholding the in-
alienable right of New Yorkers to wear shorts
lacked the economic scope of the historic find-
ings of the Supreme Court at Washington a day
earlier. Yet both because of the youthful pung-
ency of style with which the Court of Appeals
opinion was written and because, too, of its fun-
damental rightness in a world threatened with
regimentation of ideas as well as of wages, acre-
age and prices, we hope our readers did not
miss it.
The regimentation that the City of Yonkers
sought to impose and the Court of Appeals
has now rebuked touched nothing less impor-
tant than clothes. It aimed to make everybody
conform to "customary street attire" when in the
public eye. The admirable opinion written by
Chief Judge Frederick E. Crane found two faults
with the ordinance: it was too vague to meet the
constitutional requirements of a criminal law,
and it went beyond the proper limits of the
police power which authorize a legislative body
to prevent indecency but do not justify an at-
tempt to dress people in any particular costume.
"The Constitution still leaves some opportunity
for people to be foolish if they so desire," declares
this vigorous and open-minded jurist. A sigh
of relief will be the widespread reaction. It is
bad enough to make prices and other economic
factors uniform-so bad, indeed, that the step
to making clothes uniform probably lies not far
beyond. But this is still neither a brown-shirted
nor a black-shirted nation. And shorts are legal
on the highways of New York. We think they
will stay so and that skirts, like shirts, will con-
tinue to be what taste, not a government, directs.
The old American relish for individuality, even
to the point of eccentricity, will take a lot of
killing.
P.S.:Judge Crane is sixty-seven years old.
groups not only equality, but also the right to
cultural and religious autonomy and self-expres-
sion. This pledge was made a condition of
her rebirth and was written into the peace
treaty. By her treatment of the Jews, Ukran-
ians, and German Protestants she has given
notice to the world that she considers a solemn
promise no more than scrap of paper. She has
completely ignored the fact that to enable her
to regain her national independence many na-
tions have sacrificed their sons on the battle-
fields of Europe. -M. Levi.

M EMORIAL DAY will see the stars
and stripes out for the annual air-
ing, bands will blare their martial music, by the
super-patriot and the enthusiastic radical the
great god war will be respectively lauded and at-
tacked.
Despite the tendency we will have to respond
to the music with our tramping feet, despite some
inundation of crocodile tears for our predecessors
in uniform, we will have to remember that we
live in a world of rattling sabers, that fascism
is riding rampant over the political democracies
for which 'our boys' died.
Futility-Defeatism-pessimism.
These are not words for youth, full of hope and
the means to live. For youth there is the promise
of action. Into the peace movement of the na-
tion thousands should pour in the next year.
And through the efforts of youth, educating,
learning more about peace and war for itself,
building the peace movement, actively check-
making the moves of the forces making for war,
the great god war will be effectively robbed of
his might.
Specifically to be reckoned with are: compul3
sory military training, the American apathy to
international cooperation, constant demands for
excessive armament, our '80 per cent press,' in
general hostile to dominant public opinion.
To stave off fascism (if any doubt its proxim-
ity, they need only recall the brutal exhibition of
Fordism-fascism in Dearborn Wednesday) we
can profitably follow the example of France's
People's Front of labor, youth and lower middle
class groups. De La Rocque and Doriot, the
embryonic French Hitlers, were relegated to
obscurity and relative harmlessness by the if. 4
strument of People's Front action. America's
billionaire fascist, whether he is Henry Ford as
some suspect or any other in that income group,
can be denied his Maine tc California private
estate by concerted action of youth and labor and
those interested in defending democracy-at
home and abroad.
Memorial Day should remind us not of the
past, but of what we must do in the future and
-now.
Memorial Day would better be called Reminder
