MICHIGAN DAILY Save The World For Democracy Again?~--Not I Says Staff Member, [he following is the viewpoint of a member reached. Like many self-apparent schemes, this the Daily staff. The problem is one whose essing nature has been made- all too, clear by one- is ill-founded. You of M By See Terry DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN Publication in the Bulletin is constructive noticeto all members of the Vanverstty. Copy received at the office of the Assistant to the President until 3:30; 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. H OW LIBERAL should a democracy be in dealing with internal minorities advocating an antithetical form of government? Once again the people of New Jersey force the nation to ponder that most difficult query. Qn Saturday at Union City, Fritz Kuhn, leader of the German-American Bund, was scheduled to address a meeeting of that group in a dual celebration of the Bavarian beer festival and the Reich's acquisition of Sudetenland. Dressed in storm-trooper's uniform, the would-be fascis- tic leader attempted to speak, only to be howled down by a crowd estimated at 2,000 and com- posed of representatives of such varied organiza- tions as the American Legion and the League for Peace and Democracy. Protected by police, Kuhn was finally persuaded to leave but as he came out he raised his arm in the Nazi salute and was answered by a hail of stones and angry cries of "Kill him!" Stupid as the affair is, it has implications of major import. It was less than a year ago that Norman Thomas received much the same treat- ment from Boss Hague that Kuhn received in Union City. Then liberals of the nation howled in anger. Now they side against Kuhn. What factors beside a natural aversion to fascism, lead to this change in viewpoint? The answer is simple. Kuhn wore the uniform of a storm trooper. And, while a true democracy must of necessity honor the principles of freedom of speech and action, true democracy must in self-defense, absolutely refuse to tolerate alien military organizations within its borders. That was the mistake of the Weimar republic. That was the mistake of Rome when Mussolini was but the loud-mouthed editor of "Popolo D'Italia." That was the mistake of Prague in tolerating the "gymnasium" organization of Konrad Henlein which later developed into the murderous "Free Corps." That was the less disastrous error of Buchares in allowing the "Iron Guard" to continue ana the mistake which almost cost Brazil dear when her Green Shirts revolted. That is a mistake which must never be dupli- cated in the United States and yet which is being duplicated, if one can believe the newspapers. Discounting the testimony delivered before the red-baiting, politically-minded Dies committee by 90 per cent, one still is surprised at the revela- tions of Nazi activity in the United States. And not yet forgotten is the attack by Nazis upon the crippled New York newspaper editor or the ar- rests of uniformed and armed Nazi youths during last year's American Legion-Bund fracas. The situation is becoming acute. Let us hope that it's not also becoming confused by sentimen- talists who see in the cases of Thomas and Kuhn a parallel. Thomas was speaking as a member of a political party which works within the Consti- tution, yet he was treated in a manner which defied that very Constitution. Kuhn, clad in the unofficial uniform of a foreign power, was preach- ing an extra-legal doctrine which, instead of working within the bounds of the Constitution, demands its destruction. Obviously there is no parallel. -Stan M. Swinton "Without the support of the American people * * * WE HAVE NO INTENTION of fighting, claim r these young men. No, they have no intention of fighting, but who in 1914 was determined to fight? Who contemplated a four year war in which the death toll reached millions? Leaders and people alike felt that the other side was bluffing, and that theirs was such an overwhelm- ingly strong position that the enemy would retire as quickly and graciously as he could. There are still steel helmets buried in the ground of Europe which show faint rusty splotches, the remains of pulped brains blown into blood and fiber by shells from the factories of Krupp or Du Pont. They are the consequences of bluffing. As before, the agitators are militarists, but in these tmes they are even more dangerous be- cause they are also ego maniacs. No cost seems too great to preserve their prestige. They are dictators of strong countries, but they are only men, and sooner or later they will be tripped up as all men are. The quickest method of letting them hang themselves is to give them enough rope. Let Adolf Hitler invade Czechoslovakia and be damned. The crash that displaces him and his ilk will not come from other countries, but from within his own country. If we are forced to take up arms in defense of democracy we shall plunge further into economic distress a country of good people. Deluded people they may be, but the fact remains that we have no right to kill people for their delusions. There is no cause worthy enough to warrant killing our brother men, or, more selfishly, being killed by them. lfeemsbl eywood Broun Diplomats, like icebergs, have most of their sur- face under the water. We are still in the "now it won't be told" stage of public information. It may well be that certain secret information about the world-shaking events of the last few days will not be re- vealed within our lifetime. In the case of every crisis of history it has been true that much went on behind the scenes which was not evident to the people of the country concerned at the moment. Even the research men who come to mop up a century after an epochal event have quarreled about the true nature of its causes. We know far more about the backstage activities which pre- ceded the war of 1914 than we did at the time that it was current. Most of this post-conflict information came along at a time when it was good for the record but useless for the dead and wounded. I am increasingly suspicious that the drama which is now moving on to an intermission was even more rehearsed than usual. It is within the bounds of possibility that certain public characters who are applauded for their services in averting a world war fomented the scare it- self for their own purposes-which I assume were highly patriotic. * * * A Constructive Scggestion But instead of merely complainng from the sidelines that possibly fake issues and fake situa- tions have been paraded before us, even in last- minute broadcasts, I want to suggest a practical way out of surmise, sneer and exaggerated fan- tasy. The plan I propose would require some slight deception and betrayal of confidence, but few diplomats could howl seriously about that. My scheme includes a disinterment of the time cap- sule which, I understand, has been laid away with the notation, "Not to be opened until 6938." None of us will be vastly entertained by that opening, and I have doubts as to how much interest the present cargo will contain for the general public of posterity. As I remember, the shell contains copies of current newspapers. "Gone with the Wind,", "Alexander's Ragtime Band" and varigus trivia. I have not checked up on the newspaper day which was chosen for preservation. But even if every reporter, editorial writer and columnist were even more scintillating than usual I have an idea that the gentlemen five thousand years hence will find the stuff dated and even a little boring. Indeed, I will venture the opinion that "Gone with the Wind" will be received as some- thing less than a treat by the folk of 6938. It may be a rash prophecy, but I believe that by that date there will be a general feeling, not only throughout the world but even in Georgia, U. S. A., that the civil war has ended. More Precious Freight And so I suggest that the time capsule be hoist- ed to the surface and the rubbish cleared out. In- stead let Grover Whalen invite Hitler, Chamber- lain and Lord Beaverbrook, the British newspaper proprietor and big relations man, to write frankly and candidly all they may know about any team work and pre-arrangement concerning the man- ner in which England and France were terrorized into the acceptance of a four-power pact under Fascist leadership. Promise these gentlemen that nothing which they reveal is to be exposed to public scrutiny for five thousand years. As window dressing it might be a good idea to include the memoirs of Mussolini and the inside dope possessed by Dala- dier. The Frenchman's contribution would not take up much space. DIPLOMATS SPOIL all our fun. Just when we were becoming hab- ituated to a new crisis for breakfast every morning, together with the toasted roll and coffee, the four-power Munich parley heartlessly dismem- bers Czechoslovakia and makes the world temporarily safe for fascism. Now we have to turn our thoughts toward the simpler savagery of such things as swing music, Dick Tracy,' football and domestic politics. ** * I WEEK-END DIARY OF A COLLEGIATE PEPYS Friday-Stirred from a heavy tor- por by the reveille of a telephone, someone inquiring, "Is Wolfe there?" Though humorless before breakfast, we felt impelled to snap, "Just a min- ate. I'll look out the front door and see,'' but John came up and relieved us of the contraption. In an utterly impulsive moment, entered a football pool and foolishly encircled State. Read the hour before classes, from Duranty's "Babies Without Tails," then tuned in on the latest episode of the "Mad Dog and Englishman" (a line purloined from some song we've heard). Sat pre-occupied through three morning classes, con- templating the mental rigors of 18 scholastic hours and how college in- terferes with a man's commercial proclivities. After dinner, joined two Iagoish cronies in the top balcony of Hill Auditorium for a bit of unbridled screaming, but was distracted by a wild-eyed freshman whose leather- lunged shrieks deafened four rows, front and back. Then watched pals 1 and 2 test the psychology of mob rule by whispering to the credulous fresh- man, "Free movies at the Michigan! Pass the word along, we're going to whip up a celebration after the rally." The yearling asked why, and his neighbors, feigning disgust, explained, "To whip up some -enthusiasm. Are you man or mouse? Pass along the word." And the freshman yielded, and the gospel infiltrated rows to the left and right. "How many people here?" asked the freshman. "Oh, a b o u t 6,000,' answered Will the Wily, "but the joint holds about 8,000. See that ceil- ing. It's removable, and the balcony beyond holds 2,000 more. But they open that only during the May festi- val." We could almost hear the fresh- man saying, "Ah, but college is won- derful." On Liberty St. later, bonfires and cops leaped about with equal ardor. We heard a familiar voice and turned to see our freshman friend, standing on a car, coatless and disheveled, rousing the rabble with a brave con- tempt for the bluecoats. "Flatfoot," he hissed between exhortations, and in disgust at his demagogic disdain, we left for home. Saturday-Made a stolid appear- ance at an 11 o'clock class, then; hastened to the Stadium pressbox to do a.1750-word running account of the game. Disturbed no end by an order to pick a hero for both teams., We expressed the injustice of it,! picked Jasnke and Pingel and went1 home. Approached by two zealous; partisans, willing to wager 4-1 that Michigan wins the Big Ten champion- ship, but charged them with lack of restraint, if not over-indulgent loyal- ties and joined the downtown revelry., Sunday-Up for dinner and off to that incredibly inane delineation of, campus life, "Hold That Co-ed," but, enjoyed Barrymore's delicious politi- cal satire, an apparent take-off on the lateHuey Long. Home again, and heard The American Album of ami-, liar Music, with Munn and Dickson singing a duet of a Kreisler melody, and thought we heard the announcer say the guest star next week would be Giovanni Martineau. Rehashed the game again, wrote a speech and went to bed. , A VARIETY of opinions has been3 expressed on why Michigan won with such dispatch and finality. Some claim our line did it; others point to the backs. But, in our usual furtive way, we have uncovered the real rea- son: Crisler's deceptive offense. Not only did the deception take in Michi- gan State, but it also took in Archie Kodros, efficient center. After one particularly jarring impact, Archie staggered back to the huddle and heard the quarterback's next play. "Who gets the ball on that play?" asked the rotund center. "The full- oack," replied the signal caller. Archie stood puzzled a moment, then piped, "Which one of you guys is the full- back?" That, friends, is deception. the names of all those who have pre- sented certificates of eligibility and a signed statement to exclude all oth- ers from participation.

Hitler's Promises To The Editor: Here is a record of Hitler's promises and their fulfillment as published in a French newspaper L'Ordre: In his speech Herr Hitler declared that, once he had recovered the Sudeten territory, he would make no further *territorial claims in Europe. That still leaves the colonial question open. And what is the Fuehrer's word worth? When on March 16, he re-established military service, he declared he would limit his army to thirty-six divisions. Today there are at least fifty-two divisions. When German troops entered the Rhineland on March 7, 1936, Herr Hitler declared he would never fortify the territory. Today it- bristles with fortifications. On July 10, 1936, Hitlerian Germany signed an accord with Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg, solemnly guaranteeing the independence of Austria. On March 12 of this year when Anschluss had torn up that piece of paper, Field Marshall Her- man Goering proclaimed officially that Czecho- slovakia had nothing to fear, because of the treaty of arbitration of 1925. How, then, can anybody believe the Fuehrer's latest protestation that he will keep his word? To the above I would add that one of the main reasons for Hitler's rise to power was tha, he promised everything to all men. How did he keep his promises. -M.
