A Tribute To Prof. Shepard. A JUST TRIBUTE was paid to Prof. John F. Shepard of the psychology department Friday night by Ann Arbor Human- ists at a banquet given in the Unitarian Church Hall. If ever there has been on the Michigan campus a professor who deserves to be followed by stu- dents as an inspiration, a guide and a man, that man is Professor Shepard. At the banquet in his honor he was called by one speaker a "sci- entific humanist." Though terms like these usual- ly mean little in the abstract, with reference to 4 Professor Shepard "scientific humanist" signifies a recognition of his manifold work as a scientist, as an unflinching and outspoken fighter for civil liberties, as a religious man in a truly broad and active sense, as a progressive. A man who has far transcended his field of specialization, he serves as an example of the enlightened scientist who has governed his whole life with a set of real human values. A complete list of his activities would be dif- ficult to give, he has so many. Let these few suffice: Acting as an engineer, he was, as administra- tive secretary of the University buiding committee at the time of President Burton's administration, directly in charge of the plans and construction of the Museum, the Natural Science, new Physics, Engineering extension and other buildings erected under a huge grant. His work as a psychologist has earned him na- tional recognition. He has organized state chapters of the Amer ican Federation of Teachers and Association of University Professors. He was on the Board of the old Student Chris- tian Association, and has been instrumental in the past in having such speakers as Kirby Page, Norman Thomas and Sherwood Eddy, religious men actively interested in reforms, brought to the campus. He has been and is a bulwark of the Unitarian Church and has held several national offices in that church. He is vice-chairman of the Ann Arbor chap- ter of the League for Peace and Democracy formed last week, and is the organizer of the Committees for medical aid to Spain and China. He was on the organizing committee which started the Ann Arbor Cooperative Society, and helped in enabling the Wolverine cooperative restaurant in getting its present quarters. He has generously contributed his time and his money to students involved in difficulties because of "radical activities." He has spoken numberless times against war, against intolerance and the smothering of significant ideals. More concisely, he has done invaluable work for the University, for the community, for the struggle for liberty and light. Albert Mayio, ,Joseph S. Ma es, Joseph Freedman, Earl Gilman. Doff Yono Hats To lhe Stork I)erby . . . LAST NIGHT, four University teamus swung into action on three fronts in four sports in one of the most crowded sports cards of the season -but interesting as these were, none of them could possibly compare with Canada's sport of sports, the Stork Derby. Henry Armstrong, one of the greatest colored fighters of all time. also literally swung into ac- tion the other night, knocking Everett Rightmire into oblivion as several thousand fans wildly ap- tell you that this latter contest might well have a vital bearing on the continuation of the human race. Today, four women, who earch bore nine children in the ten years specified by the late Chares Vance Millar, stood in the shadows about the courtroom of Mr. Justice W. E. Middleton in Osgoode Hall, Toronto, Ont., nervously survey- ing the large crowd for a glimpse of somebody carrying a crock of gold. In between glimpses, they gave out statements to the press. These four leading contestants were worried because there are two other would-be winners contesting their claims. It seems that the two, who threaten to be also-rans, "had the bad taste to have several of their offspring illegitimately," the Chicago Daily News reports. Of course, in Germany or Italy, this would have called for a bonus. But Canada still appears to be a bit self- conscious in regard to this new sport. Here is a chance for some enterprising, but dying, millionaire to start this newcompetition in the United States. When hockey was developed in Canada, they said that it was too rough for us. Just look at our hockey teams now, though. Earl R. Gilman TIHE FORUM The People's Peace To the Editor: There can be no doubt that the overwhelming majority of the peoples of the world want peace, but peace cannot be attained by retreating before the onslaught of fascism. That policy, because it strengthens the war-making forces of the world, makes war inevitable. The program of the so-called Michigan Anti- War Committee, by repudiating collective secur- ity, dovetails into the plans of the fascist ag- gressor nations. In their letter to the Daily that Committee distorted the meaning of collective security. Such a program does not involve the necessity of going to war. Not a single soldier need fire a rifle if the democratic peoples who are at peace and who today want peace make the prog- ress of war by fascists, war makers, impossible through economic measures. The committee's proposal for internationalism of workers and young people means nothing if the workers and young people and farmers and small business people and every other human being de- siring peace do nothing to check the aggressor nations. If thcy doubt the true'strength of the people, we need only point to the marvelous victories the people have been winning in France, to the strength of the American people who over- whelmingly returned President Roosevelt to office because he stood and continues in large measure to stand for what they want. What is needed is a fearless facing of the real situation in the world today and a program of action in cooperation with other peace forces-the peoples of France, Britain, the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Mex- ico, and on and on in the list of nations- to quarantine the aggressors. I can agree with the opposition of the commit- tee to increases in arms, against compulsory RO- TC, to the Army control of the CCC and to the CMTC and the infamous Sheppard-May mobili- zation plan. I can agree that funds should be appropriated to social improvements in the na- tion. I am certain that every advocate of collec- tive security as I have defined it will agree. Collective security advocates would amend the very unneutral Neutrality Act to allow the Chi- nese and the Spanish peoples to receive economic aid from us, as we have always done in the past, and to deny to the Japanese and German and Italian invaders the necessities of a war machine. Together with the international boycott of fas- cist goods and with the economic cooperation of the forces for peace we can break the backs of the principal war makers today-the fascist nations. To superimpose upon such a plan of action the inaction implied in the Oxford Oath and the withdrawal of American troops from China now while they serve as a moral stumbling block to Japan, leaves the fascist alone in his own happy hunting grounds, he knows that the forces of peace are lying down and he goes on burning up the world- until eventually he burns Amer- ica. "If," as Heywood Broun puts it, "we bury our heads in the sand, I have a very good idea of the exact spot where we will be kicked." If in their last stated point the Committee is serious, then they have struck a devastating contradiction. If they want peace then they sure- ly canpot have it by increasing the power of the war makers-the fascists. That is precisely what would be done if today England makes a "funda- mental readjustment" with Italy and Germany. They will then presumably be satisfied. But we are all familiar with the cruel in- satiability of the fascist nations which have marched on from one aggression to another, one violation of agreement to another-in Ethiopia, in Spain, in the Rhineland, in Austria, maybe Czechoslovakia next. They will march on and on with bigger and bigger war machines-unless w make it economically impossible for them to continue to grow as war makers. -W.X.Y. Be an Of Eugene Millions of Americans today pay tribute to a great idea. The tribute is pecuniary. It is paid at hni ing stations in every nook and corner of 48 more or less sovereign states. The idea was that of Statesman Louis Bean of Eugene. Ore., who in the legislature of that commonwealth, introduced the first bill to levy a tax on gasoline. Like most pioneers and pro- phets, Mr. Bean did not at first succeed, buts just 19 years ago the Oregon legislature enacted the first gas-tax law. In the days of the great uplift preceding the great war Oregon was our foremost legislative laboratory in which daring ideas were tired out. But nothing that came out of those test tubes equaled the gas tax in its effects upon Americap, Jfe em itoMe H-eywood Broun Scripture offers small support to those who would close their eyes and thank God that the rest of the world is well lost. I have just been reading the brief and eloquent account of the greatest isolationist of all, who lived many years before Borah or Nevlle Chamberlain. The story can. be found,-' the ninth and tenth verses of the fourth chapter of the Book of Gen- esis. And itrms-- "And the Lord said unto ) Cain, Where is Abel, thy brother? And he said, I know not. Am I my brother's keeper? "And He said, What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground." . Itseems to me that Cain's heresy was the crisis of his crime. Other men in Israel were violent and killed in anger those near and dear to them. But it was Cain who first voiced and set the phi- losophy of isolation and rugged individualism. And it is recorded that God said, "Now art thou cursed from the earth which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand." How, then, will it fare with those who say, "It's none of our business"? And will there be praise in the long eternity of posterity for those states- men and leaders who take delight in declaring, "Nobody can touch us for years and years. What do we care about the rest of mankind." * :* * * The Mark Of Cain I think that upon the brow of such there, will be placed a mark, the circle of complete indiffer- ence, which should make them known to their fellows. The blood of our brothers does cry out from the ground. It cries out from Spain end China and from the concentration camps of Nazi Germany. Will it be well for us to wash our hands and say with the cynicism of Cain, "Am I my brother's keeper?" Until this clinging and continuous heresy can be eradicated from the earth there will not be peace. It is the solace of the smug in all the nations of the world. It affects both domestic economy and international relations. The con- temptuous cry of Cain has been coined over and over again in a thousand current expressions:- "Let them worry, "What's it to me?" "Ishka bibble," "Let George do it," and "I've got to think about myself." There are scabs and finks among nations as well as among individuals. The theory that each man is sufficient unto himself is the core of industrial conflict, just as the theory of com- plete nationalism has been the cornerstone of war. Peace through cooperation is a difficult task, but it is not an idle and~ antastic dream. Men who call themselves realists stabbed It to death. Neville Chamberlain cannot be questined as to accuracy when he says that the League of Nations is impotent. And Hiram Johnson is cor- rect when he makes the same assertion. * * * * But I wonder whether these two men are just the persons who should take pride in putting over the point. It is a little as if Cassius and Brutus should join in a report declaring, "Caesar is not fit to function because he's dead as a doornail." The League of Nations was not conceived under the most auspicious circumstsnces. It was de- ivered bunglingly by diplomats. And now it lies bleeding like the body of Abel. And the earth has opened her mouth to receive the blood. But that red stream is articulate. The people of the world must organize again. The toilers should take the lead. Agreements with Fascists are feeble things. Such arrangements are the in- dorsement of war and not its negation. Tories in all lands are fundamentally Fascist, and you don't even need to scratch them to find that out. What have we done? We cannot pass by on the other side when the cry comes from blood broth- ers. The peace and freedom of the world can be preserved only by free men. And each of us is his brother's keeper.

This variation, however is in both directions, and neither cir- cumstance can be said conclusively to present the Orchestra at its best. The performance in Carnegie Hall was the most satisfactory the Symphony has given from the standpoint of the en- semble tone, because the spacious and "live" auditorium lent a resonance which is killed by the sound-proofed studio, comparatively large and sup- erbly equipped though it is. At both places the tonal lustre of the group was of course more brilliant and opal- escent than it appears via radio. The marvelous Toscanini nuances and subtle shadings were much more in evidence, and tremendous climaxes entirely out of the range of radio re- production were achieved~. On the other hand, it was im- mediately noticeablethat radio flat- ters the' Orchestra as far as tonal smdothness, precision, and the bal- ance and blending of parts are con- cerned. It is all the more significant of Toscanini's greatness that he can produce his magnificent effects with a group so new and uneven in ability as the NBC Symphony is at the pres- ent time. That it can be placed first among American orchestrasater the "big three" of Boston, Philadelphia, and New York is true, but this is due to the unsurpassed merit of some of its players rather than to the consis- tent ability of the group as a whole. Many of the first chair men are leaders in their departments, but are backed up by players of more average qualifications. The strings compare favorably in tone and virtuosity with those superb sections in Boston and Philadelphia, the first violins and violas being especially outstanding; but the woodwinds are no more than good and the brasses less than that.
