W ELL, TIMES ARE CHANGING in these United States. Michigan foot- ball teams have stopped moving in reverse and the Grand Old Party has clapped its hands on a candidate who looks to be the Fritz Crisler of a Republican political renaissance. "Presidential timber" is the popular description of handsome, brainy, fiery-tongued Tom Dewey, Owosso Michi- gan's righter of Gotham wrongs and "presiden- tial timber" is no misnomer for this 36-year-old apostle of righteousness, according to the Repub- lican front office, which is now in the process of kicking its lately-discovered favorite son up the stairs at a prodigal and desperate rate. Tom Dewey, no one can truthfully deny, is the racket-bustingest, prosecutingest prosecutor ever to address a jury on-the banks of the Hudson. Sihce his incumbency New York's big bad boys have been moving into Ossining in carload lots. The youthful district attorney's battle against the cancerous growth of racketeering in the em- pire city has been superbly successful. His crime- busting batting average, even if we chalk up the Hines case as a fielder's choice, looks like the price tag on a Ford Convertible. Tom Dewey is, in sum- mary, the most efficient prosecuting attorney New York has ever had the good fortune to place in public office. But what has this to do with the requisite qualifications for the key guber- natorial chair in the union? Frankly we don't know. The two posts come approximately as close to being similar as Evashevski and, Renda came to being twins. When a man shows superlative prowess in the guard position on a ball team we seldom expect the coach to reward him with the quarterback's slot (Mr. Evashevski notwithstand- ing). Dewey is an All-America guard of public integrity, but he's pulled out of his position just three years too early on this play and left a gap- ing hole in New York's line of defense against crime. For seven years now the Republican aspirant has been pulling a Calvin Coolidge on all politi- cal issues. Asked, for instance, the day following his election as district attorney for his opinion of capital punishment, the youthful incumbent planted himself squarely athwart the fence with a nifty piece of Coolidgesque. "After all," said he, "I'm still young. You can't expect me to solve all the problems of the world." Though modesty doubtless prevents his addressing "all the problems of the world" it inhibits him not a whit from glibly explaining the ills of govern- ment. "Abolish patronage and racketeering," he reveals, "and break up the alliance between crime and the politicians and the problems of government will be solved." A district attorney because of the nature of his job can peddle such naivete with little loss of prestige, but in a can- didate for governor it's appalling. In his acceptance speech Mr. Dewey started the ball of political vituperation rolling with a well-phrased rabble-rousing shot at Lehman. "Without meaning to be so," he said, "any Demo- cratic governor is perforce, the good-will adver- Deal coterie of old liners who have stooped to employing big ready-made names irrespectige of qualifications in lieu of ideas and platforms? We regret watching a brilliant prosecuting at- torney made the dupe for political chicanery, the ramifications of which he has not the least com- prehension. -Robert L Fitzhenry Four Saints In One Act . . T HE SIGNIFICANCE of the new 'four-power accord" in Europe is to be found more easily by looking outside the new grouping than inside it. Europe's peace today, as in Bismarck's time, is ruled by "the precarious balance of power among five great nations." During the past five years, the control of affairs has pursued a steady trend away from the wart time Allies and their League of Nations ,toward the two fascist states, Germany and Italy;, this despite the fact that the fifth great power, Russia, is a determined and avowed enemy of the fascist axis. Part of the explanation for the apparent ano- maly can doubtless be found in the daring meth- ods of the fascist diplomacy, the substitution of bluff and thunder for actual numerical and ma- terial force. But of far more decisive importance in the course of recent European history has been the policy followed by the government of Great Britain, most marked in the last year, but dis- cernible ever since the rise of Hitler. It is a gen- erally accepted thesis that the government of Great Britain is opposed in its ideals and prin- ciples to fascism, ald that its policy has bee dictated by contingency. This policy has been called by its defenders conciliation, pacifism a even realism; and yet it appears tp consist of the conscious strengthening of the two nations which are recognized even in England as the war-mak- ers and troublemakers of Europe. In short, there appears sufficient evidence to question the in- tegrity as well as the wisdom of the government. The history of the past four centuries demon- strates, among other things, that British policy is never so subtle and meaningful as when it appears incomprehensible. The key to that policy in the present instance lies in the existence of the Russian Socialist state, which the British ruling class fears and hates, as almost any edition of any of the upper class newspapers will eloquently testify. Under the guise of national interest the ruling class of Britain pushed its imperialistic self-interest sin every corner of the globe throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth cen- turies. It made the Imperial crown the ideological symbol for its own conquests. The sons of the people of England left their blood on the sordid battlefields of Asia and Africa to provide markets for their masters to exploit, and they did it in the name of the British nation and the British crown. TODAY THE BRITISH ruling class is faced with the embarrassing fact of two belligerent nations quite obviously bulldozing Britain and her ally France into a series of the most humili- ating diplomatic capitulations. But, the British ruling class is no longer actively imperialistic; that is, it is no longer engaged in the struggle for new markets and new sources of raw materials. Its only concern at present is the preservation of its existence as a ruling class, which consists in the preservation of its property. The ideology of communism is a threat to that property. The Communist and Socialist wings of the Britishn Labor Party are not strong; the Labor Party itself is in a moribund state. But as long as a great nation exists on the other side of Europe which by example or force could conceivably assist in a social revolution in Britain, the British ruling class feels itself menaced. The growth of the military power of Germany and Italy,.and especially of the former, affords a possible barrier behind which, for the time at least, the titled and propertied families of Britain can feel safe. A four power alignment with Britain bridging the gap between reluctant but irresolute France on the one hand and militar- istic Germany and Italy on the other would ac- complish the isolation of Russia and the prepar- ation of a crusade against communism in which the two fascist nations, with their ally Japan, would do the fighting. * * * THIS THESIS MAY sound somewhat fantastic; and yet any other scarcely answers the ques- tions raised by the incontrovertible facts. Senti- ment in Great Britain, as in they United States, is overwhelmingly in opposition to the creeds and actions of the fascist nations; and yet the British government has-steadfastly pursued a policy of surrender to those nations, a policy so servile that nineteenth century British historians would have blanched to record it. Is it credible that Neville Chamberlain is returning the facist salute to Hitler simply because of the threat of general war? Or even more pointedly, is it credible that Mr. Chamberlain believes that European peace can be established on a firm basis by negotiations with Hitler and Mussolini which in every instance consist simply of giving in to the fascist demands? The four power accord, if really placed in ef- fect, will accomplish a diplomatic revolution in Europe comparable only to that occasioned by the fall of the Weimar Republic and the seizure of power by Hitler.-It will mean the final abandon- ment of Spain and Czechoslovakia, and the pre- paration for the onslaught on Russia, for which the German general staff has planned so long. The British ruling class is neither solidly united in supporting the government's policy nor thor- oughly conscious of the portent of its acts. Lloyd George, the Duchess of Atholl and other Parlia- mentary conservatives have denounced that gov- ernment; Anthony Eden and now Lord Duff Cooper have resigned from it. An undoubtedly large portion of the government's support in Parliament is the result of blind party discipline H-eywood Broun "Aren't we going to the game?" she asked. "Yes, Dear," I replied mildly. "When is it?" "Why it's today, Oct. 1. Have you forgotten?" And, as a matter of fact, I had. During the last couple of weeks it had completely slipped my mind that Oct. 1 would be the date made notable by the football battle between Yale and Columbia. It was a fine day and a thrilling game. You see I was rooting for Colum- bia. I have no academic at- tachment to Yale, and my only connection with Dr. Butler's university resides in the fact that I was an inept member of his faculty for about three months a good many years ago. However, the friend who drove me un to the game is a brother-in-law once removed to the man who coaches the Columbia freshman team. And be- sides, my friend had a large wager on the chances of the Light Blue and White. That was enough for me, and so before I entered the Bowl I identi- fied myself as a partisan by buying a cerulean feather. I waited for change, but the young man said, "That's right. The price is just one dollar." The young man will go far in business unless the New Deal mows him down. However, I was pleased rather than otherwise, as I am about to raise chickens beginning one week come Wednesday. In all my calculations on the probable profits I had only figured on the returns from eggs and dressed poultry. But here under my nose was the feather racket. Even con- sidering the cost of the dye it seemed a gold mine. But presently the young man was back our way again, and encountered in the same party a some- what shrewder trader. "How much?" she asked. To ny intense surprise the little merchant replied, "A quarter." "I'll give you a nickel," answered the coming Hetty Green. "Done and done," announced the future Wolf of Wall Street. And so I think I'll base my chicken computations on the eggs alone. The feather mar- ket seems to be too fluctuating. Columbia proceeded to knock the daylights out of the Elis, a proceeding which is always pleasur- able to watch, and when the final whistle blew my friend, the big bettor, was in sixth heaven and rising rapidly. There was no hurry about getting home, and since there was some coffee and a couple of sardine sandwiches still, I suggested to my friend that he tear down the goal posts. He writes fiction for the popular magazines, but physically he is very powerful. Indeed, he once played a stalwart albeit a sluggish game as tackle for one of the smaller New England colleges. He was nothing loath to accept the suggestion. "I'll bring you. half of the crossbar for your living room," he promised as he ambled down to the field with surprising agility. As I was working on the second sandwich I looked down and noticed that my friend seemed to be having trouble with the goal posts. Even when he threw his whole weight against an upright nothing happened ex- cept that he bounced back again. And so I joined him and asked, "Do you need any help?" He re- fused this timid proffer of a friendly shoulder and explained, "The Yale line may not be so hot, but this seems to be part of the Maginot fortifications. They've got the blame things embedded in con- crete." Accordingly, he quit tugging and whipped out a pencil, wrote something on one of the white posts. "At your age," I remonstrated, "I think you should be mature enough to refrain from defacing walls with your initials." "But I didn't write Q. R.," he said. "I wrote, 'To Hell with Hitler.' And I signed it 'Sid Luckman,' because all through the game I had a feeling that whenever he clicked with one of those long passes he must have been saying in his heart, 'If there's a Nazi in the house I want him to see the way a non-Aryan can fling a football'." The Editor Gets Told. Bigger And Better Pep Rallies To The Editor: I have been attending Michigan pep meetings for many years and I am convinced that they are getting progressively worse. Instead of being a student meeting it has become a mixture of students, grade school and high school kids, re- tired people who want to "be young again" and a sprinkling of townspeople. There seems to be no organization at all. Everyone wants to get there, occupy the down- stairs seats, and make the place a.bedlam instead of a "pep" meeting. The program is taken over by school kids and hoodlums who have no con- nection with the University. Speakers, cheer leaders and even the great Michigan Band are insulted, jeered and interrupted until one goes away in disgust, thinking of the day when a "pep" meeting meant real support to the football team and coaches. No one who attended the meeting last week can believe that our great coach, "Fritz" Crisler,'went away inspired by th% "support" he was receiving from Michigan stu- dents. I would recommend that only students of the University be allowed on the main floor; that monitors from the student organization in charge be placed at the doors and given supervision of the meeting; that the program be started as The FLYING TRAPEZE By Roy Heath Just what Daily policy is with re- gard to a columnist bandying word with an editorial writer I don't know However, I have an idea that I will b finding out pretty shortly since I now essay to do just that. There appeared in the editoria columns of this sheet last Sunda morning a littie acid-dipped nift from the typewriter of editorial chie Al Mayio fussing at the Michigan student body for brawling in the streets over nothing more important than a football game while earlier in the day a "Save Czechoslovakia" rally had gone by the boards, causing hard- ly a stir in this placid puddle. You can't blame Al for feeling that way. Czechoslovakia is very near to his heart. Imagine how Fritz Crisler would have felt if a mere corporal's guard had shown up at his pep get- together, But, on the other hand, you can't blame thetstudents either. As far as most of therm were con- cerned, any scheme which would be concocted to save our Czech friends at this late date is about as smartas knocking out pop flys after the ball game is over. Besides, the rally was held at high noon and with things like they are damn few people are letting Checks (did you ever try to spell Czechs on a typewriter?) or anyone else come between them and a good lunch. But to disregard for a moment the angle of personal disappointment and chagrin over what Michigan students choose to get excited about, I feel that there is a more important aspect in comparing the two situations which Al, in his enthusiasm, overlooked. Had he not, he would not be in such a dither over the comparative flop of his "Save Czechoslovakia" rally. Let us suppose that like rallies had been staged all over the country ac- companied by the rabble rousing type of showmanship which stirs up pre- game enthusiasm and brings on such monkey business as ripping theatres apart, building bonfires and gives the gendarmes a chance to shoot off their tear gas guns. Supposing, due to the efforts of student orators, the whole nation had taken off in high gear to get something done about the Czechs. I say the whole nation because mobs draw people like flies regardless of the purpose of the original gathering. The mobs wouldn't have been comprised solely of students for long. After the people were worked up to the proper pitch then what would you do with them? Well, supposedly the weight of aroused public opinion would force Washington to put some sort of screws on Hitler and his thugs. But what kinds of screws? A nasty letter? Adolph doesn't pay much at- tention to his fan mail. Apply the Kellog-Briand Pact, the treaty of 1921; which allows no American mu- nitions to be sent to Germany, in short those same potent sanctions which were so successful in stopping Mus- solini in Ethiopia and Japan in Man- churia? No, they wouldn't be enough to stop Hitler but, worse yet, they wouldn't be enough to appease a mob aroused to the same pitch Michigan students were Saturday night. They wouldn't piddle around with half- measures, once hipped up to a fight- ing pitch. No Al, it is better that things went the way they did. The average Amer- ican feels just as bad about the Czechs as you do. But they realize, as you must, that the resolutions proposed at that meeting Friday noon are dead horses, so to speak, and after you work us up we would have to do something or else bust. And I am practicallyhsure that Army shoes would pinch my bunions.
