THE PROPOSED city sanitation ordi- nance, having passed its first two readings in its original form, comes up tonight for a final vote before the Ann Arbor common council. It is "an ordinance providing for the classifi- cation of eating places within the city of Ann Arbor, requiring the inspection and licensing of the same, establishing sanitary regulations ap- plicable to the equipment contained therein and providing a penalty for violation thereof." Legislation of this sort, designed to eliminate unsanitary conditions in some of our restau- rants has long been advocated by student and faculty groups and endorsed and urged by health authorities. However the City .Council has never seen fit to give the health officials the authority to im- pose adequate health specifications and a, strong arm to enforce these requirements. The proposed ordinance provides for a five dollar licensing fee to cover the costs of inspec- tion. We have heard rumblings of opposition on this count and fear that the spirit of the entire measure may be lost by reason of this opposi- tion. We believe that the licensing fee in this in- stance will be justifiable as long as it is closely correlated to the "cost of inspecting such estab- lishments." The proposed ordinance also provides for: a grading system to be set up at the discretion of the health authorities, and grade cards to be displayed in "a conspicuous place"; a monthly written report of conditions in each restaurant; revocation of licenses for repeated violations; health examinations at the order of health au- thorities of restaurant employees who are sus- pected of having communicable diseases; and sanitary lavatories for each sex and penalties of $100 and 90 days imprisonment for violations. At the time of the final drafting of the ordi- nance a member of the Ordinance Committee expressed a fear of anticipated opposition from restaurant owners, and this was said to be the factor which had impeded previous attempts at strong sanitation legislation. According to a survey made by the Daily this opposition will not materialize. Of 11 owners contacted. representing 16 restaurants and eating places only one did not voice an unqualified approval. This person objected to the licensing provision. From this we see that there should be no op- position from restaurant owners and surely no opposition from student consumers. The ordin- ance has been endorsed by Dr. Nathan Sinai, of the public health department, and many other health authorities, who feel that the ordinance is long "overdue" in Ann Arbor. We believe that there is an undeniable need for adequate system of inspection and classification of eating places. The proposed ordinance has been enthusiastically urged by health authorities, restaurant owners and consumers. Its enact- ment should result in improved sanitary candi- tions in city eating places. Not An Authority To the Editor: I know little about the doctrines of Cathol- icism and cannot therefore speak with authority. Anyhow, the degree to which the Catholic church does or does not employ carefully selected bits of scripture in its ritual, whether it be an artificial or natural ritual, does not seem to me to be a matter for public letter columns, al- though I confess I am amused by the thought that we are advised to examine the Missal to find what use the Church has for the Bible. I am probably still less qualified to treat of the matter of the temporal possessions of the Spanish Church. I wish members of the his- tory faculty or other qualified persons would give us facts on this matter. I readily admit Kaltenborn is inclined to sensationalize, but then no one has given us the true figures if his are wrong. But I do think the attention of American Catholics ought to be directed to recent utter- ances of the Vatican resulting from Cardinal Innitzer's endorsement of the Austrian plebis- cite. In effect, the statement was made that church heads ought not to meddle in politics. Also, are all Catholics aware that the Osserva- tore Roimana (the generally accepted mouthpiece of the Vatican) has said, "The situation in Spain from the point of view of the recent re- volt must be viewed as follows: Since it is the legitimate government, the Spanish government is not only completely right but is has simply done its duty. The nation has the right to be protected by its government. If it had failed in its duty to punish the rebels most severely, the government would have assumed the respon- sibility for continuing the shedding of blood. Here then is the true and just doctrine which is in harmony with the traditions of the Cath- olic Church in its relations with lay govern- ments. The duty of the legitimate government to suppress all revolts is beyond doubt and all Catholics obedient to their church must uphold the government in its struggle against every and any rebellion." If this sounds unexpected coming from a high Vatican source, these facts may be regarded as enlightening: It was printed on August 27, 1934. The revolt discussed had been that of the Asturian miners, put down with terrible ruth- lessness by the Spanish Foreign Legion. Although I do not feel I deserve it, I know that I have hereby exposed myself to being ignominiously branded an anti-Catholic. History Repeats Itself To the Editor: Of all the maxims f know, probably none is so true as, "History repeats itself." I believe this to be true more of the Catholic Church than any other existing institution. For re- peatedly, from Judas on, the Church has been attacked by bold lies or half-truths of those who claim membership therein. My first interest in the Spanish war came last fall when The Daily printed a letter signed by some 20 Spanish Catholic clergymen headed by a bishop. In brief, the letter denounced Franco for atrocities committed against the Church. In printing this letter The Daily thought it was presenting the sentiments of the Church as a whole. The bishop who drew up this letter was under ban from Rome, while his fellow cohorts were in the disfavor of the Church. This let- ter was supposed to be representative of the opinion of the Spanish clergy, when really only some 20 of the 1,000 clerics in the district signed the letter. The current discussion on the Church and Spain revived my dormant interest in the war. Again the Church has been misrepresented by one who claims Catholic affiliation. C.T.P. has vainly tried to draw up an elaborate case against the Church, claiming to have the Catholic view- point. The Church can only demonstrate the correct mode of living; to enforce it would be to destroy man's free will. Hence, she has no absolute control over the spinelessness of her members and thus arise the scandals of Judas Iscariot, Alexander Borgia, "Peter Wiffen;" and the Basque clergy. C.T.P. has used Peter Wiffen's article to ex- pose the wealth of the Church. Again we have the half-truth. C.T.P. does not mention the fact that shortly after he wrote "A Priest Warns the Church," Peter Wiffen wrote another arti- cle, "Peter Wiffen Retracts," in which he did retract all he had previously said. I am not quite so well versed in my liturgy as is Professor McLaughlin, and few could add to what he has said. I wish to deal with the Spanish war. In his pamphlet, "Spain and the Christian Front" (Paulist Press, N.Y.), Arnold Lunn, who has spent some months in Spain getting the facts, writes, "Spain provides a perfect illustra- tion of the new tactics of Moscow. 'We must build up Communism,' declared Lenin, 'with non-Communist hands.' Communists must pose as the friends of peace and democracy while preparing for civil war and dictatorship." Cab- allero, recently premier of Spain will try to fol- low the example of your great country" Mr. Lunn also points out that in October, 1934, Caballero said, "Lenin declared Spain would be the second Soviet Republic in Europe, and Lenin's prophecy will come Jtrue. I shall be the second Lenin." Mr. Lunn also writes, "Fran- co's army is a democratic army for two reasons. First, because every class is represented in that army from Dukes to Dustmen. Secondly, be- cause it enjoys the overwhelming support of the Spanish people . . . I verified for myself the fact that Franco had no need to guard his lines of communication seeing that they were pro- tected by the population. And if you doubt the accuracy of my impressions, ask any military nvrrtwhthr t.A xir h- cfiIP ,nr Prnn in loyalist Spain than anywhere else in the world, including even Mexico and Russia. All Roman Catholic Churches have been closed down as places of worship, and nearly all have been completely destroyed . . Nor have the Protestant churches escaped . . . in Loyalist Spain there is nothing left to persecute." I have before me now a letter signed by twenty prominent British Protestants in which they co-operate with the Catholic Church to combat the current Red menace to Christianity .."to deal with certain fallacies which are diverting the natural sympathy of our countrymen from the victims of the present anti-Christian cam- paign in Spain . . . and to give practical expres- sion of our sympathy with those victims." They write, "The Nationalists have produced sub- stantial evidence to show that General Franco had absolute justification for believing that the Reds in the Government had planned a dictator- ship of the Lenin-Trotsky type; and that his rising was just in time to avert the catastrophe." This letter also points out that these Protestants have received ample assurance from Franco that he will guarantee full religious freedom to all. Why does the Church fight Communism? The Communist Youth headquarters at Nowosbirsk, Soviet Russia, have published the following "Ten Commandments" for its members: 1. Never forget that the clergy is the declared enemy of the state and of Communism. 2. Try to convert your friends to Communism. Do not forget that Stalin is the leader of the anti-gods throughout the world. 3. Try to persuade, but do not force your friends, to stop going to church. 4. Watch out for spies; denounce sabotage. 5. Spread atheistic literature among the peo- ple. 6. Every good Komsomol is also a militant atheist. He must know how to shoot and be expert in military discipline. 7. Work eagerly to prevent any religious ele- ment you may notice from influencing your neighbors. 8. Every atheist must be a good Tchekist. Watching the security of the state is the duty of every anti-god. 9. Support the atheistic movement by finan- cial gifts that will aid in spreading of propa- ganda abroad. 10. If you are not a convinced atheist you will not be a good Communist. Atheism is per- manently linked with Communism and the two ideals are the basis of the Soviet power in Com- munist Russia, -B. M. Huttlinger. Chiurch And State To the Editor: It would appear that most of your correspon- dents who have discussed the Catholic Church and the War in Spain miss the significance of the whole conflict. That significance lies in the fact that when the church interferes with the state then the state will interfere with the church. When the church resists the will of the state in arms then the state will resist the.church in arms, and rightly so. For the church militant there will be the state militant and the true aims of religion which the church professes to defend will be lost in the politics of clericalism. America so far has seen little of the bitterness of anti-clericalism as it swept France in the late nineteenth century, but should the church con- tinue its present policies, then anti-clericalism will appear, and it should so appear. -Jacobin. A Side Reemark To the Editor: In reference to the current interesting con- troversy in your pages concerning the Pro- Franco sympathies of the Catholic Church in Spain it is interesting to note that the "purest" and "Most Christian of all Religions" has been defended from the first by Moors (who twice daily face Mecca in worship), by Germans (whose government is at odds with the Catholic church and is currently sympathetic toward a drive for paganism) and Italians (whose hands are still red with blood from the conquest of one of the oldest Christian nations). -G.S.V. It Seems To Me By HEYWOOD BROUN Coming back from the city of sleep, one passes through a little death of dreams before reaching reality. And this time the dust of the dream was heavy uwon me. I could not shake it off. In the fantasy I was to speak at a meeting in Madison Square Garden. The chairman began his introduction in complimentary fashion, but then he proceeded to take me apart. He spoke of sloth and failure and frivol- ity. It was as searching a survey as if I had done it myself. Which, of course, I did. Whole phrases from the dream came along with me. The old man who lives on the further side of con- sciousrness said, "Broun once spok and wrote with fire and fervor about Sacco and Vanzetti. Sacco and Van- zetti are dead. Why has he no wor for one who fights from a tomb fo the right to live?" All this is literally true, and I sat. shaken, on the edge of the bed fo. several minutes. "Hello," I though' to myself, "has someone nudged me as I traveled along the road to Da- mascus?" But presently it was easy enougl_ to put aside the miraculous and su- pernatural. I remembered that fo almost a week I had been carrying i my pocket a letter from Tom Mooney Assignment From Within The letter from San Quentin said "The case represents things biggei than any one individual, and cer tainly the case has greater and mor far-reaching, significance than m own welfare as one man." It wa: signed "Tom Mooney-31921." No. 31921 was right. But it is also true that Mooney remains an individual as well as a symbol. They have pinned a num- ber upon him, but he is still a man. I choose to discuss things which may not be relevant. There is a school of thought which seeks tc justify a great injustice by the us of the angler's apology. Spokesmer for this side admit that the prisone is not guilty, but they add that he has been in jail so long that, he really doesn't mind it. So why worry about the whole affair? He has now served twenty-twc years, and it has been said, with what seems to me a perverted pride, that the old man is no longer set at hard labor. And again, an effort has been made to celebrate the generosity o' American ustice by asserting that special privileges are accorded to him in the prison. Sometimes he is al- lowed to leave his cell and walk the entire length of the corridor. It may even be that his feet have worn a pathway in the stone. And so, if I understand this theory, while justice has not been done it has beer approximated and everything is fine and dandy. The only trouble with this doctrine lies in the fact that it simply is not true. Mooney has flung himseli against the bars for twenty-two years. All sorts and conditions of men hav fought for his freedom. A conserva- tive a gentleman as George Wicker- sham drew up an eloquent plea in his defense. Radicals, liberals, pro- gressives and phonies have had thei say. But the leadership of the fight for Mooney always has been in the hands of Tom Mooney. They have not caged his spirit. *, *' * In There Fighting No man is more passionate foi freedom. Here is a general who ha kept at the head of his forces al- though locked in a cell. To the au- thorities of San Quentin he may be 31921, but no American is bettei known to the workers of the world And they know him as Tom Mooney People who think he should have accepted the boon of parole do not understand the quality of this man When he comes out of jail it will not be on his hands and knees. HE has kept his head up. Twenty-twc years have gone under the bridge, and there is no power on earth which can give them back. And so if any shred of justice is to be done the time is here and now.

THEATR E By NORMAN KIELL The Detroit Season The Easter theatrical basket holds three shows for the Detroit holiday-goers. Following "Bro- ther Rat" this week at the Cass Theatre comes pere and fils Davis' dramatization of Edith Wharton's "Ethan Frome." This is a revival of the Broadway hit, and stars Walter Hampden in the title role. Hampden was last seen in Detroit in "Cyrano de Bergerac." For a ten day run, which began last Tuesday evening, the Detroit Federal Theatre is present- ing "Pursuit of Happiness." This is the play writ- ten by the Langners, Laurence and Armina, and that saw a happy Broadway run with Tonio Sel- wart in the leading role. The Hollywood ver- sion of the "bundling" comedy gave Francis Led- erer his start in -the films. Now, it is playing at the Cinema Theatre along with the foreign film, "Monastery." On Monday night, April 11, Maurice Schwartz and his Yiddish Art Theatre Company return to the Wilson Theatre with I. J. Singer's by now famous "Brothers Ashkenazi."
