Great Britain's Foreign Poliey. * N SPITE of the overwhelming victory which Mr. Chamberlain won in the House of Commons Tuesday there have been un- mistakable evidences of serious dissension in Eng- land over the about-face in foreign policy which the government has introduced. For the vote, as a Member of Parliament pointed out, was to a great extent a "triumph of Party discipline," raher than a reflection of the sentiment of the English people. The Opposition group in Parlia- ment has the support of a great section of the press throughout the United Kingdom for the first time on a major issue, with every indication of strong popular feeling behind it. When the present government went to the polls in 1935, its electoral manifesto proclaimed that the League of Nations was the key to British for- eign policy. Mr. Chamberlain's frank repudiation of the League in favor of an entente with Italy is thus in direct violation of the people's mandate as well as of the direction of British policy since the, War, and the 330 Conservatives who voted for the government on the question of Mr. Eden's resig- nation and its implications, cannot be considered to have expressed the opinion of the people. Mr. Chamberlain has stated that he contem-. plates no exchange of the friendship of France for that of Italy, and that his sole object in extending the olive branch to Mussolini is the establishment of European peace on the basis of a four-power understanding. The premise upon which such a thesis is built is that the division of interests in Europe is between Britain and France on the one hand and Germany and Italy on the other. Such a picture, however, is extremely inaccurate. The whol 'history of the past five years demon- strates the fallacy of the contention that the "have-not" nations can be pacified by concessions from the "have" nations. No concession from Great Britain and France can forestall the constant search for diplomatic and military victories which is inherent in a dic- tatorship maintained from the top and directly supported only by a small ruling clique. Mr. Chamberlain declares Wts policy to be one of practical exigency, as opposed to the idealism of Ms. Eden. The real difference is simply that Mr. Chamber- lain wishes to cooperate with Germany and Italy for the maintenance of European peace, while Mr. Eden wishes to cooperate with France, the U.S.- S.R. and the small democracies. In simple words, Mr. Chamberlain seems to insure peace by strengthening the war-making governments, while Mr. Eden wishes to strengthen the nations interested in maintaining peace The League of Nations did not die a natural death-it was stabbed in the back by just such politics as those of the present British prime min- ister. The situation is desperate, it is true; it is not, however, hopeless, if the people of Great Britain can be aroused to the danger of their gov- ernment's attitude, and, what is perhaps more important, can make themselves heard. Joseph Gies. Proving That Figures:Do Lie.. . A TERRIBLE WRONG has to be right- ed, and the Daily undertakes to do the job. This project of justice is in the nature of saving a name. It is a name that has been bandied about and taken in vain for many years,.grumbled at, joked about, and misused to the point of seeing country-a climate properly distorted by the reg- ular trials of getting an education which accom- pany it. Getting down to facts, statistics of the United States Weather Bureau show that Ann Ar- bor weather is the same weather as that of most of the Lower Peninsula, Wisconsin, upper Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, and upper New York. This north central weather belt, in which Ann Arbor is located, has an average of about 30 to 40 inches of rain and snow a year, or less than is found in any other section of the country except the southwest and middle western desert and plains regions. But Ann Arbor's claim is not limited to the fact that its weather is no worse than that of any of the sections of the country around it. The proof now moves to show that it is in one of the most favored sections of its belt. Figures show that the normal amount of precipitation in Ann Arbor is 31.51 inches per year, compared with the following: Detroit, 32.06; Grand Rapids, 33.77; Marquette, 32.47; Chicago, 33.28; Pittsburgh, 36.35; Buffalo, 37.28; and New York City, 44.63. Lansing and Alpena beat Ann Arbor, having 31.43 and 30.17 respectively. Besides this, Ann Arbor has normally more sunny days and fewer actual days of rain than most cities around it. Specific figures show that in 1931, for example, it rained or snowed here only 109 days out of the year, while in Detroit it rained 123 days, in Grand Rapids, 112, in Lan- sing, 140, in Saginaw, 141, and in Alpena, 148. That same year Ann Arbor had 136 clear days, compared with 111 for Detroit, 83 for Grand Rapids, 99 for Lansing, and 104 for Alpena. These figures run in about the same relationship for other years. The case for the client rests. Next time there is a half-fog with ice, slush, and puddles over the side-walk, Ann Arbor should be left out in condemnations of the weather. Robert Mitchell. ISHE FORUM) Typbgraphical Men Strike To the Editor: There is a strike in progress at the Ann Arbor Press Company. The men on strike are members of the International Typographical Union and include only the workers in the composing room. The men assert that they have been forced to work consistently hours beyond the Union maxi- mum, that they frequently have been forced to work on Sundays, and on occasion to work to the extreme of 80 to 90 and even 94 hours a week. The men also charge that the management of the Ann Arbor Press initiated the organization of an illegal company union, entered into contract with it, and then violated that contract by declar- ing a six per cent decrease in wages without any allowance of collective bargaining. Conditions in the plant were said to be extreme- ly unsanitary. Michigan State law requires that fumes from molten metal be vented properly; this requirement has not been met by the Ann Arbor Press according to these reports. The Wagner Act guarantees the right d collec- tive bargaining to employees in industries affect- ing interstate commerce. In addition, the Mich- igan "Union Label Law" provides that all state printing must be done in shops which maintain the International Typographical Union stand- ards. The Ann Arbor Press comes within the jurisdiction of both these laws. According to re- ports such as those already indicated in this let- ter, the Ann Arbor Press has violated both these laws. We suggest that the University discontinue patronage of the Ann Arbor Press until such time as it is proven that proper and legal labor stand- ards are met. In view of reports of labor injustice in other departments, as well as in the composing room, we suggest also that a thorough investigation should. be made of all departments of the Ann Arbor Press.

And so I am for international cooperation. Most of the arguments 4or a complete divorce between America and the rest of the world have been based upon the assumption that any single country could set out the dance, Qr the entire program, if that happened to be its will and pleasure. Current history proves the fallacious nature of any such belief. China would just love isolation. But obviously it hasn't got it. Other nations have decided to veto China's desire to be left alone. I feel certain that Czechoslovakia would be tickled to death to become a hermit nation. But Hitler has just announced a policy of self-determina- tion for Nazis, and so the idea is out. It may be argued that we are not quite in the defenseless position of China and that our geo- graphical situation is less precarious than that of the Czechs. It will be said that oceans inter- vene between us and our European and Far East- ern neighbors. But those seas are less wide than they were generations ago, and even in our case we cannot choose isolation unless the rest of the world gives assent. It takes more than a single resolution to make a hermit in the case of the individual or the nation. The Cloud In The Sky If I am asked whether I seriously anticipate the landing of a Japanese army upon our shores in vwenty years I would reply "no." And the same answer would go for a German army or an Italian army. Nevertheless, I think the worst possible counsel given recently in Congress has been that of Ham Fish, who thought it would be well for the United States to go to sleep for twenty years and let the rest of the world destroy itself. If the rest of the world destroys itself I have a notion that Man- hattan, Bridgeport and Sioux City will feel the reverberations. This is not an era in which any people can afford to turn in for a long slumber with no greater protection than a "Don't disturb" sign hung upon the door. The cleaner is only too likely to knock. But, having said all this, I would not, if I had a vote, support the bill for a vast naval increase. I am ready to admit that some of the most ardent pacifists are less than fair when they maintain that such an armament is lanned by those who want to wage excessive war upon Japan imme- diately. Japan is only one factor in the picture. We must face the fact that the Fascist Interna- tional is powerful in the world today and that it is aggressive. An Incomplete Analogy Undoubtedly the imperialistic designs of the Kaiser were vastly exaggerated before we drifted into the great war. I do not think the Fascist cream of world empire has been overplayed. I think it is real and actual. But before we fight and even before we build let us sit down and talk. The odds against a successful termination of any peace or disarmament conference are long. And yet that is the way to bet. Mankind will assuredly profit more by winning a long shot wager on peace .than by playing any odds-on choice for war. And I would indict the pacifists, for all their sincerity, because they have been so articulate in announcing that the conflict is just around the corner. I doubt that very much good will come out of some of the strange quinellas of the mo- ment, and I have no intention of backing the eurious alliance of Oswald Garrison Villard, Boake1 Carter and Father Coughlin. Of course, peace is in danger. And it can be protected only by an extension and prolongation of discussion. If we bury our heads in the sand and say, "None of this means anything to us," I have a very good idea of the exact spot where we will be kicked. Indeed, the question is even larger than the preservation of America. The preservation of mankind is at stake. vors the transferring of war funds to socially useful projects (American Youth Act, public housing, education, etc.) 3. The Michigan Anti-War Committee ap- peals to workers and young people to refuse in the present Far Eastern crisis to ship war materials to Japan or to support Japanese militarism. 4. The Michigan Anti-War Committee ex- presses its refusal to support our government in a war against Japan as an appeal to Jap- anese youth to refuse to support the military machine of Japan. The Committee favors the repeal of the Oriental Exclusion Act. 5. The Michigan Anti-War Committee fa- vors the freedom of colonial peoples. It de- mands the withdrawal of American troops from China. It demands the freedom of China from all imperialism, Japanese, European, or American, as well as from exploitation by na- tive agents of foreign imperialism. 6. The Michigan Anti-War Committee contends that the basic economic divisions and dislocations of world economy can not be solved by a "collective security" maintenance of the status quo, or by division of spoils but by fundamental readjustments so that the peoples of the world have free access to raw materials and are able to carry on trade and commerce freely, in their own interest. All students on this campus concerned with the fight against war and war preparations should join us.

Graduate Education Club Meeting: University Elementary School Li- Anti-Collective Security To the Editor: This week marks the organization of the Mich- igan Anti-War Committee, a group which is un- equivocably opposed to war and war preparations. Of this group of students, many support the Ox- ford Pledge. But acceptance of the Pledge is not a requisite of membership; several members do not subscribe to if. However, all members sup- port the six-point program submitted below: The Michigan Anti-War Committee, being an organization of young people who are interested in fighting against war and establishing real, lasting peace, is vitally concerned with making the Uni- versity of Michigan student body aware of the im- portance of the war question and of the necessity of positive action against war and war prepara- tions. Particularly at this time it is necessary to re- vitalize the forces fighting against war inasmuch as various elements who formerly opposed war are favoring war "for the defense of democracy i.gainst fascism" and collective security pacts, which in reality mean support of war-prepara- tions and ultimately war itself. Against collective security and war as a way to achieve peace,-we counterpoise the internationalism of workers and young people in the struggle against war-making forces. The Michigan Anti-War Committee believes that this point of view is implicit in the Oxford Pledge, which reads: We refuse to support the government of the United States in any war it may undertake." The Oxford Pledge expresses our opposition to collective' security, recognizing th- at. nnlla f irp Q m., f- an-nc. i nn,. n. A n,, - i brary at 4:15. Gerald F.
