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- UNDER4 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.

Seniors: The firm which furnishes diplomas for the University has sent the following caution: "Please warn graduates not to store diplomas in cedar chests.

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
