Thus collective security would not only seem to be the best insurance against aggres- sion and war, but would leave the appropriation for the naval increase for desperate internal needs. It would also prevent the danger of a naval race that could only culminate in war. France would welcome an alliance for the purpose of exerting economic and political pressure on the aggressors; Britain might be slower to accept it, since many of her industrialists admittedly have interests- in common with the powers now engaged in ag- gression. This conflict in the President's policy shows the plausibility and need for collective security. The huge funds to be appropriated for naval expansion could be better turned to internal uses. The fascist nations have a written alliance. They call it the Rome-Berlin-Tokio axis. Why should there not be a Paris-London-Washington under- standing?

T WO RATHER DISCONNECTED and yet closely allied events occurred in last week's news: For one thing, Georgia, which has never been considered a leader in social leg- islation, outlawed its brutal chain gangs; another occurrence was the decision by New York's legis- lature, which is supposed to be the guiding body of the "Empire State," against the abolition of child labor, which has stultified the lives of in- numerable children. In other words, Georgia has seen fit to make life easier and niore livable for her criminals, grown men, and has abolished most of the punishments which were formerly inflicted upon them, such as "iron shackles, the whipping posts and sweat boxes." New York, however, has deemed it neces- sary to maintain the conditions under which not men, but children, who have committed no crime against society other than being born in poor surroundings, are permitted to work from dawn. to dark. New York is hiding behind the fact that it ques- tions whether or not regulations against child labor could be more adequately accomplished under a national enactment or under separate state laws. We thus have another illustration of American legislators hiding behind questions of .method when immediate action is necessary. The fact that our Federal-National type of government allows different methods of legal treatment for different conditions is used as a subterfuge for procrastinaton. While it is commendable to take great care in passing laws 'which pre fair and equitable, it should also be the prime requirement of all leg- islators, state and national, to see that obviously necessary laws, such as the Child Labor Amend- ment, should be passed and not shunted back and forth in the twilight area between state and national jurisdictions. New York and numerous other states could well observe the fact that medieval conditions in punishment and living environments are becom- ing more and more passe every day and that it would be a good idea to observe the doings in even such a "backward" state as Georgia. Earl R. Gilman. A Case For Collective Security. . . jN HIS MUCH-DISCUSSED Chicago address, President Roosevet expressed himself as favoring collective security with other powers for the purpose of "quarantining" ag- gressors. This would indicate the advisability of an understanding with France and England, since the European fascist nations are at present en- gaged in aggression in Spain, China, and Ethiopia. It points also to an agreement with other democ- racies, since many of them are particularly vul- nerable to the aggressors. The President has also advocated an enlarged navy, which contradicts his earlier collective se- curity plea in many ways, If the alliance among non-aggressor states were an actuality, their com- bined military and economic strength would out- weigh that of the aggressors, enabling the allied nations to exert concerted pressure on these same countries to decrease, or even terminate their activities toward the acquisition of territory. Thus the naval expansion nlan would be of little Here Comes T. Dorsey To the Editor: Comes now soon Tommy Dorsey and his great crew to Ann Arbor and the joint will truly jump when Mr. T. takes the band in hand for some righteous jive in the Yost Barn. Certain "long-haired" moguls have built a fence around the logical place for such a concert so the outcasts of the musical world will take to the south 40. It's enlightening to know that Michigan has an auditorium so white and clean- Carnegie Hall is no longer pure but tarnished with the blasts of jazz. It's certain that these same Simon Legrees will be in the vicinity of the House That Yost Built when the Men of Dorsey play the spots. The Dorsey organization has been slipping on many rungs on the way up. Not because of Mr. T., however, for Tommy is a fine musician but he can't seem to take the curves that most night- spot managers throw and has been in the eight- ball shadow more than twice. The recent addition to the ranks is the former fine tenor-man of the Norvo clan, replacing Bud Freeman. This young gent plays only out-of- the-realm tenor and is definitely an asset to the Dosey ranks. Watch Herbie Haymer! The session should be a huge success and may it pave a way for more-may the jive of the jitter- bugs see to it that Mr. Bach, Beethoven, and Wagner at least clap hands! -Jim Mudge. Naval Limitation Congressional critics of the Roosevelt Admin- istration are Jess than fair when they lay at its door responsibility for the fact that naval limita- tion has broken down and that nothing is being done to revive it. The Administration has a consistent record of trying to the best of its ability to make some kind of limitation a reality. During his first days in office Mr. Roosevelt in- tervened at a critical moment in the deliberation of the World Arms Conference at Geneva, when that meeting was on the point of failure, to offer a proposal which went farther than any plan previously offered by an American President had ever gone, toward meeting the real problem. Recognizing that disarmament and security are merely two halves of a single indivisible question, Mr. Roosevelt proposed to make an American contribution toward a solution of the problem of disarmament by first making an American con- tribution toward a solution of the problem of security. To this end he announced through our delegate at Geneva that the United States was ;repared to consult with other nations in case of a threat to peace but that it was also prepared to "refrain from any action tending to defeat a collective effort" directed against a law-break- ing nation, provided our own government "con- curred in the judgment rendered as to the respon- sible and guilty party." In other words, he pro- posed to Waive the right of the United States to interfere with any "quarantine" established against an aggressor nation. - This proposal failed, for reasons not inherent in the plan itself, to avert the collapse toward which the Geneva conference was headed. But the Roosevelt Administration did not slacken its' efforts to achieve some limitation of armaments. In the year following the President's intervention at Geneva, our Government proposed a plan for the regulation and supervision of the interna- tional trade in arms. And one year later, when representatives of the principal naval powers assembled at London to consider the situation brought about by the approaching expiration of the treaties which had previously limited naval strength, our delegates went to that conference with specific instructions from the President to seek "a total tonnage reduction of 20 per cent below existing treaty tonnage"-or, if that proved to be impossible, to try at least for "15 per cent or 10 per cent or 5 per cent." The sticking point at London, and the factor chiefly responsible for the breakdown of the five-Power agreement which had limited naval armaments for a decade and a half, was the dissatisfaction of Japan with the ratios hitherto in force and the insistence of the Japanese gov- ernment upon a "common upper limit"-that is upon naval parity with the United States and Britain. This is still the chief point of disagree- ment between Japan, on one side, and the two Western naval Powers on the other. And until there is some meeting of minds on this main question, there would be little value in holding a new conference on armaments, as some mem- bers of Congress now propose. The Roosevelt Administration has a praise- mrnflnt, r ,.ae- rri in h ,n t+tnf liv, n linmin finn Iifeew lo e eywood Broun MIAMI, Feb. 17.-A newspaper executive who shall- be nameless has tempted me away from duty. When I told him that I was about to leave here for New York or Washington he said: "I think you're foolish. To me those two cities seem the dullest datelines in America. Only a few public men have learned the trick of saving up their most important an- nouncements and giving them out in some obscure place. They get a much more f important news break in that -: way. What people say in Washington and New York doesn't seem to make much difference to the rest of the country." I told Mr. X that I had found that out, and I was compelled to add, "But Miami is not exactly obscure, and I am not a public man.. Nevertheless, I decided to heed his advice and stay over the week-end for purposes of research. A good newspaperman could get a lot of material here by running around. Even by sitting still at some fixed and central point you may see Jim Farley, Sonja Henie, Frank Hague, Harry Rich- man and Harry Hopkins all pass by intent upon their several concerns. Calling Turn On Hopkins A local fortune-teller undertook to read the present and the future for Mr. Hopkins. "I think," she said, "that you are the proprietor of a gam- bling house." Harry declined the soft impeach- ment. "Well," persisted the soothsayer, "I may be wrong, but, at any rate, I seem to see you handling a lot of money and having it distributed among a lot of people." My own experience with the fortune-teller was not personally illuminating. She thought I was a clothing manufacturer or a musician. I'll either have to get my hair cut or quit creasing my trousers. "Never mind about me," I said. "Look in the crystal ball again and say whether there is to be a war." The Egyptian did not even look. "Why should there be?" she said. "Who's going to fight who?" and most of the local gypsies are of like mind. Among the very assorted winter visitors one does not find the same shaking of heads and uttering of gloomy predictions which prevail in New York and Washington. It may be objected I that I speak of those wao fiddle during fires, but it has always seemed to me that, while Nero may not have been the most helpful man in Rome, he was hardly the greatest nuisance. The most useless person during a big blaze is the one who runs around with an empty bucket shouting, "Isn't this awful?" Peace Lovers Talking 'War Most of the war talk comes from the peace people. Gentlemen who say that they are all for peace often do much to destroy it by announcing that war is right around the corner. The isola- tionists believe their own vague philosophy by insisting that we are about to embark into con- flict. The isolationists wrecked the League of Nations, and they can hardly say that peace at home or abroad has prospered under the policy of letting Europe stew in its own juices. I am not going to commit myself to "collective security" without a definition but it seems to me that if sanity is to be preserved it must be by international cooperation. The American people will find their own peace precarious it we have nothing better to offer than pulling down the shades. Maury Maverick is on the right track in urging President Roosevelt to call a disarmament con- ference. Peace is not a plum. It is not going to drop into our lap. I think Americans will do ill to follow the advice of Hamilton Fish and go to sleep for twenty-five years. Peace can be pre- served, but only if we become minded to play our part as a member of the family of nations. IAs Ot~hrs See I Academic Freedom? Psychologist C. A. Ruckmick, wito will be re- rmembered by students here for a biting criticism of movie audiences in a fall quarter lecture, is no longer professor at the University of Iowa. He resigned Saturday under pressure from his uni- versity's administration. The basis of the de- mand for his resignation was that he used stu- dents as subjects in experiments in which he arti- ficially created various emotions. These reac- tions were then measured on Ruckmick's "emo- tionmeter." The fact that the whole affair, in comparison with the Schaper case, for example, has a touch of the farcical must not be permitted to hide the essential seriousness of the event. Here, once more, is a case study of dismissal of an expert busy gathering facts, following out his duties as he saw them. One point of interest to which this incident draws attention is that the professor who at- tempts research in which either methods or findings clash with popular prejudices, is risking his position. It may be recalled that a south- western university gave in to popular fury a few years ago and dismissed a professor for trying to gather sex data from students by the ques- tionnaire method. Social scientists face a real challenge. Are MuSIC By WILLIAM J. LICHTENWANGER' Roth Quartet For those who love music nobly conceived and rendered with inti- mate feeling and obvious affection for the minutest details, a satisfying evening of chamber music was pre-k sented in Hill Auditorium last night' by the Roth String Quartet. Therei are undoubtedly quartets whose play- ing encompasses a greater variety of emotional appeal and is filled with, a more dramatic intensity of feeling, but none, we imagine, who surpass Mr. Roth and his companions int tonal purity and immaculateness of ensemble. From the first unison measures of the Beethoven F minor Quartet, Op. 95, which began the program, to the final faint "Amen" of the Tschaikow-1 sky Andante Cantabile that came asi an encore, there were always in evi-l dence the loveliness of tone, unre- proachable technical precision, and1 perfect understanding between play- ers which are the first requisites of a chamber performance. Two other quartets, the Second, in D-flat of Dohnanyi and the A minor which ist the first of Schumann's three, round-1 ed out a program which leaned heav- ily on the romantic, and in theset even more than in the Beethoven thet ingratiating style of the players madet for a sympathetic performance. Par- ticularly commanding were the Doh- nanyi Scherzo, with its thematic re-# minder of the storm at the beginning of Die Walkure and chorale-like trio,k and the lovely Adagio of Schumann,1 a movement of serene beauty and reflection.I In fact, it was in the inner, thec more lyric or fantastic, movementst of the quartets that the group seemed in each case to strike nearest to thek spirit of the composer. For the open-i ing and closing sections, especially of1 the Beethoven "Quartetto Serioso,"I there appeared less dramatic vigork and vitality of utterance than thet music seemed to demand. The com- parative similarity of spirit betweenr all of the works presented made all the more desirable a little more con- trast in mood, a sounding of greatert depths in the music. Yet this detailI is of but passive significance when one considers the equistiteness of thet playing and the loveliness which it evoked, and recalls the rarity witht which such music is performed at all.
