Ruthven The editorials published in The'Michigan Daily are written by members of the Daily staff and represent the views of the writers only. Marriage Problenis .. . TODAY'S ISSUE of the Daily carries the first in a series of articles on the subject of marriage. These articles will treat some of the problems which come up both be- fore and after the marriage ceremony. They have been written by the Rev. Gilbert Appelhof, Jr., rector of the St. Thomas' Episcopal Church in Detroit, who is enrolled in the University as a graduate student in sociology. These writings, which will appear from time to time, do not propose to take the viewpoint of any particular group, religious or otherwise, but are intended as a practicable discussion of the problem. The author has operated successful marriage clinics in Detroit, his work being fea- tured in the March 21 issue of Life magazine. Interest in the subject of marriage has made itself conspiculously manifest on the campus this year and the Daily considers that this con- tribution should be of considerable value. Tuure Tenander. In The Navy J'11 ow- RVi Now... * IN REGARD to the proposed legisla- tion to increase the size of our Navy, Walter W. Van Kirk, Director of the National Peace Conference, was recently sent to Washing- ton to display the views of 17 church and peace organizations before the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs. -These groups naturally did not agree in the details of their peace policies. Some favored cooperation with other nations to prevent war, while others wanted neutrality; all of them united to oppose the augmentation of our naval forces. At least five good reasons can be given for not going ahead with the proposed legislation. In the first place, it has been argued that the Navy should be made larger in order to better support our national policies. What are they? Are they policies of national defense, the protection of American citizens abroad, or of safeguarding American interests in other lands? Do they in- clude a defense of the Monroe Doctrine? It has been recommended that Congress appoint a Com- mittee on National Defense Policy, including a number of members of Congress, representatives of the State and Navy, Departments and a care- fully selected group of civilians. Such a com- mittee would enable a much more intelligent discussion of this timely question. Secondly, the present-day arms race must be stopped. Heretofore the government has been able to use its leadership in the encouragement of meditation, international conference and the reduction of armaments. This leadership will be lost if our Navy does not stop growing. Even though it does seem late, the United States should foster a naval armament limitation con- ference. It is far better to make the world "lim- itation-conscious" than to go ahead unrestricted with any radical expansion program. The third reason, and one of the most logical arguments for the opposition, is that Admiral Leahy got up before the House Committee on Naval Affairs and explained that three times the proposed increase would be necessary for the Philippines and the establishment of more naval bases in Far Eastern waters? The result of this' is war, not peace. In the fourth place, we will be faced in the near future with the added problem of how to raise the $1,500,000,000 to maintain our bulky water forces. Sooner or later this increment will lower the standard of living, which is on the down grade. now. Either war or inflation, with its resulting crash and depression, is inevi- table under such a situation. Is there reason to undermine the economic security and well-being of the American people when we do not even pro- pose to fight a foreign war? Further, it is not necessary to add to our pres- ent fleet to combat rising Fascism, Communism nor totalitarianism. :Better spend the money on establishing domestic economy and giving youth an expectation of economic security. Youth's frustration today only leads it to try new forms of government. Jobs, along with this new expectation of economic security, will do more to combat Fascism, Communism and Nazi- ism than all the ships that can be built under the proposed legislation. Daniel R. Ranney. THEATRE By NORMAN KIELL The Ghost Of Lucy baker For the past few years, it has been the policy of the drama editor of the Daily to point out in this space the need for a laboratory theatre at the University. The natter has sometimes prog- ressed from the few remarks here to an occa- sional editorial. There have been faculty attempts at furthering the cause, research has been carried out and the administration has admitted the vital need for a Workshop Theatre by asking $80,000 for it in the 10-year building program. Last Wednesday night in the Adelphi room in Angell Hall a play was presented that only showed too clearly the handicap students on this campus interested in the theatre are work- ing under. The English Department has allo- catedan amount of money to be spent informally producing three student written plays com- pleted in one of, the creative writing courses. The first was Bethany Wilson's "Lucy Baker." When the play was originally read in class, gen- eral opinion was that it was of major calibre. The subsequent production proved rather effectively that "Lucy Baker" is not a very good play but that it can be reworked and rewritten into a very effective and entertaining piece of theatrical craftsmanship. It was evident even though there was no scenery, even though the backdrop was a cracked plaster wall, a radiator, and two dirty pulled down shades and even though two chairs on each side of the impromptu stage indicated the doors. Learning Through Doing What the playwright learned from this produc- tion could never have been gleaned from a classroom discussion. What the neophyte actors learned in acting technique could never have gained in theoretical discourses. How much more the student could obtain if there were a real laboratory theatre is too obvious to relate any further. Bryn Mawr is attempting to build a workshop theatre. They are going about it in a construc- tive manner. This Sunday evening at the Am- bassador Theatre in New York City a benefit program is being given for the "Mrs. Otis Skin- ner Theatre Workshop." Among those announced for the bill are Gerturde Lawrence, Frank Cra- ven, Dudley Digges, Cornelia Otis Skinner, and Martha Scott (a U. of M. Play Production grad- uate). At the University of Wisconsin, $815,000 has been collected to build a Union that will house one of the most up-to-date theatres between the Rockies and the Alleghenies. Of the total sum, $236,000 is a PWA loan; $50,000 has been raised by graduates, and the balance supplied by a loan warranted by the present operating income of the Union. The Wisconsin Union Theatre will be completed by the early Spring of 1939. After that date when the Lunts, Helen Hayes, Kit Cornell or any other of our leading players are on tour in the west, they may find this theatre a welcome stopover. $80,000 Will Do The Trick Now, we are not asking for a theatre of these proportions, one that would involve nearly a mil- lion dollars, one that would, necessarily, bring a Bernhardt or a Duse to Ann Arbor. We want a laboratory theatre, a workshop the- atre, where it would benefit students most and the community eventually by its product in the way of a higher culture. The plans for a lab theatre on this campus call for approximately $80,000. A student com- mittee was formulated last October to carry out ways and means ofraising the needed funds. Ideas similar to Bryn Mawr's were put forward, application for a PWA grant was suggested, an alumni as well as a general campus appeal was considered. The plans were placed before the Theatre Committee on Practice and Policy of the University, approved, sent to President Ruthven and eventually evolved in his asking for the aforementioned $80,000 in his 10-year building plans. That is how the situation stands today. We are so sorely in need of the lab theatre that mere talking and writing about it is by now discour- aging. The thought would never come to us to perform a surgical operation with instruments and facilities of a bygone era. And the same par- allel can be drawn for our present theatre facil- ities. The sooner general campus opinion realizes this, the nearer we shall be toward corrective measures. TLIIn CPIim I/Seem I6OMC Heywoo'd Broun When the people came to Rehoboam and com- plained that their lot was hard he answered them roughly ,and it seems that little Phil has taken this young man as a model. His long speech at Madison, and the sink or swim policy outlined in the platform, could be rendered, "If Hoover chastised you with whips the National Progres- sives of America will chastise you with scorpions." Little Phil thinks the wages of in- dustrial workers should be ~ lowered, and Brother Bob has frequently advocated the broadening of the base of the income tax. In other words, the bright gospel which the LaFollettes would sell to the Workers of America is that they should receive less and pay more. There is again a disturbing jingoism in the plank on our external relations. Then entire hemisphere, from the Arctic to Cape Horn, is set down as being reserved by God for us. This smacks all too closely of Hitler's dream of Ger- manizing all Middle Europe. There is the same rapt and dogmatic interpretation of the Crea-. tor's purpose. The audience at Madison was ' informed that North, Central and South Amer- ica had been kept "virgin" by divine decree for many centuries to await the day when Brother Bob and Little Phil should open the doors to Utopia. It' is too much, and just why this grass root chauvinism should be hailed as liberalism I' cannot for the life of me understand. * * * * Lre ke-Coughin Memories In the last few years some very curious duck have been fluttering about pretending to be progressives, but this particular group, with its semi-swastika emblem is just about as liberal as the party fathered by Lemke and Coughlin. Indeed, it seems to spring from that very source. The press comment on the opening address is decidedly interesting and significant. The editor, of the New York Herald Tribune, whose record on liberalism is well known, waxes almost lyrical on Little Phil's long address. He finds that it "freshens the atmosphere of New Deal dialect like a breeze of pure ozone." And again it is stated that "the diagnosis is simple, and it is as convincing as it is simple." But the high spot in Little Phil's marathonic masterpiece, accord- ing to the Herald Tribune writer, is his magnifi- cent indifference to the problem of distribution. The commentator sees this piebald progressive as saying, "Cease the senseless quarrel over distribu- tion, and concentrate on putting both capital and labor to work and keeping them at it."_ A Familiar Formula But I am still under the impression that this is1 precisely the formula that was beng followed] when the cyclone hit us in 1929. Oodles and- oodles of automobiles were being turned out every day and the producers never gave a thought; to just who was going to buy them. And yet there was overproduction then. The cars didn't just amble out of the factory and steer them-I selves into the various garages to snuggle up] beside the automobile which was already there in Herbert Hoover's bright vision. Even the chicken grew notionate and was reluctant to jump into every pot. It isn't progressive to say that we must turn back to the ways of our forebearers. We couldn't do that if we tried, because it is im- possible to reproduce the physical aspects o the land in which they lived. Phil La Follette refuses to face the hard facts of the machine and the making of the machine. He seems to sympathize with the theory that all business needs is to be let alone. But that's been tried. You cannot charge hell with a bucket of water or solve a complex industrial crisis with a tub-thumping revival speech. The only claim to liberalism which the mentors of the new party can advance is that they mean well. And I'm not even sure of that. Marriage By Rev. Gilbert Appehof, Jr., AB., Rector, St. Thomas' Episcopal Church Author of The Life Abundant series Chapter 1. EDUCATION FOR MARRIAGE Some people never find happiness in marriage, no matter how many times they try their luck. Very often these are the same people who fail to find happiness in work, or in anything else. Happiness is not for them. They are not willing to assume the respon- sibilities that go along with marriage. They entered this most sacred of all relationships in the wrong spirit, or with altogether inadequate prepara- tion. If there is any remedy for the divorce evil which is becoming worse every day, it is to be found in educat- ing young men and women in those ideals which make for happiness in the marriage relationship. Divorce certainly isn't the remedy in treat- ing the problem presented by the broken home. It is the underlying causes which make for broken homes that must be considered. Science+ teaches us that no effect will outlast] its cause, and we feel this is certainly1 true in the field of family relations., CAUSE NOT CURE IS MOSr IMPORTANT+ An honest attempt to deal with the - divorce evil would mean that we should begin at the beginning and+ attempt to inquire what breaks the+ home, rather than spend time arguing about how, when the damage is done, it can be repaired. We would spend more time in removing the cause of the disease and less on the traditional method- of treating the sympotoms.+ And the cause of unhappy marriage often lies back in childhood days. It is quite difficult to find the real~ cause of marital failure. In most cases people just won't tell you why their mariages are unhappy, and un- less you know them intimately you may be unaware that they are facing a serious problem. Homes may be in- ternally broken, but to all outwardl appearances they are intact. When1 the situation reaches the divorce courts they say that it is non-support, cruelty, or desertion that has caused+ the estrangement, but often the real reasons are ignored. The couple mayI not really know the real, fundamen-i tal reasons that have caused theirc matrimonial bark to drift on ther rocks. And this is very unfortunate,t for the same reasons that made fort unhappiness in the first marriage are1 often the underlying causes for suc-i ceeding failures as well.I HAPPINESS IS RESPONSIBLE< But we are not concerned especial- ly with the divorce problem. The pur- pose of these articles is to discuss what makes for happiness in the mar- riage relationship. Those of you who are contemplating marriage might never give marriage serious consider-1 ation if you didn't believe that happy marriage was not only desirable, butl possible. We see so many whose mar- riages have failed, so many homest are broken, that we almost wonder if that are broken, that we almost won-l der if any modern marriages ever "end happily ever afterward." Yet now and then we do see a couple who1 are so ideally mated, whose home life is so beautiful, that we are heartened£ and sufficiently encouraged to believe that others might make their mar-1 riage a success, too. There are roads, in the marriage re- lationship, that lead to the city of+ happiness. Other people have found+ them. Might we not all profit by+ learning their secrets for happy and joyous living, and thus save ourselves the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune?" Experience is the surest and the most drastic teacher; but it is both slow and costly. Why not learn from the experience of others? Life is too short and too precious to allow individuals to make-and to be. marred by-all the mistakes which the race has learned to avoid. The only value of an education is that we may make a quicker and safer use of racial experience in guiding and short-circuiting the experiments of the young. CERTAN PRINCIPLES MUST BE TAUGHT We educate men and women for business, for various trades, for pro- fessional careers. We educate them in philosophy, in language and the fine arts. It might seem reasonable to conclude that it would be very much worth while to teach them more about marriage, and the fine art of building a happy home together. We could not well do less than we do at present. A clearer understanding of what love really means, of the prob- lems presented by sex, courtship, mar- riage, would be a valuable part of any- one's education for life. Young people cannot afford to risk the hazards of the "wild oats" theory of learning, nor are they wise enough to depend mere- ly upon instincts in these matters. Often our instincts are untrustworthy and lead us into conduct quite out of harmony with that which is accepted by society. There are certain fundamental principles about marriage which should be taught the boy or girl long before the time of courtship.

Today I would like to discuss an article from the "Numismatic Chronicle and Journal of the Royal Numismatic Society-an article by J. W. E. Pearce, the title of which is "The ote-Legends on the Roman Coinage." For the first time in any publication, so far as we know. Mr. Pearce arises to cast doubt upon the hitherto undis- puted law laid down by Dr. F. Mayreder that "all coins of the (Siscian) group from whatever mint striking them are ... complementary to each other and must therefore be dated to a time strictly limited by the appropriateness of the respective vota-numbers to the three emperors (Gratian, Valentian II, and Theodosius)." This must have brought a blush of fury to the cheeks of J. W. E. Pearce, because he retorts with biting logic, "Whether or not we accept this strict limitation of date, we seem bound to accept the fact that Theodosius either struck no vota-coins specially appropriate to himself, which is un- thinkable, or else, as is clearly indicated, that he struck for himself within his first quinquennium a number appropriate, as in the case of Valentian II, to the second quingennium!" Not only to antiquarians alone, but to any col- lege student with intellectual curiosity, this con- troversy is bound to stir up partisans in the two camps. I offer it simply as another fascinating publication in the Periodical Room to illustrate the many hitherto neglected sources of broad cultural information. Perhaps in time my humble efforts may convince those who are so fatuous as to agitate for the subscription to "L'Humanite"
