THE MICHIGAN DAILY MANY of the country's papers last week carried the picture of 11-year-old Joe Magsamen, of Rehobeth, Mass., dressed in an American, Legion uniform, and leading his own little "crusade against communism" on the pulpit of the chapel of the Shrine of the Little Flower in Nasonville. This probably made Mrs. Magsomen very proud of little Joe, the mas- cot of the local American Legion post. The Legion stand on communism and other "un-American activities" such as joining a labor union or readiig the Declaration of Independence on July 4, is rather well known, and much has been said about this glorious crusading which the Legion is carrying on. But Joe is pictured, fully attired in all Legion regalia in a house of worship. Using young chil- dren to further political propaganda is bad enough. Dressing these youthful puppets in mili- tary uniforms and having them speak in rooms where religious ceremonies are the "only legal business" is sacrilege and constitutes a definite threat to the sanctity and integrity of a free and independent Church. Let us keep our churches free from any symbols other than those of spiritual inspiration., -Norman A.

One of the most important elections held in the last few weeks came a'little before our own and was held in a suburb of London. But it was a contest of far more than local significance. Dartford returned a Laborite in a by- election. The district was not precisely a Tory stronghold, although a Conservative had been the incumbent, but here was a straight out-and-out test of the Chamberlain poli- cy of collaboration with Hit- ler. The Munich Pact itself was the issue upon which the men and women voted. And the strategic advantage lay with the gov- ernment. Dartford is a community of little clerks and small shopkeepers. It is filled with the kind of people whom H. G. Wells used formerly as the characters in his novels. I rather imagine that it would be possible to find in Dartford an English equivalent for Webster's Mr. Milquetoast: Certainly it is not a warlike district. * * * The Land Of Villas The villas do not stand shoulder to shoulder, but for the most part, are semi-detached. Be- tween the houses run little alleys in which on a clear day it might be possible to swing a kitten. And here the very average Englishman lives in his castle with a few flowers in front and radishes abaft his dwelling. The Thames winds its way through Dartford, and the v'illas cluster close to the river bank. On a bright night one might easily imagine enemy planes following the course of that silver ribbon and dropping bombs upon the slow curve of that shining silver stream. Dartford sent its men and boys to the war in 1914, and its women folk huddled in shallow cellars when the Zeppelins came over. Those who came back from France bore with them their share of decorations for bravery under fire. They were a stubby lot, but also stubborn. Yet, though they had acquitted themselves well, the warriors of Dartford took no great joy in the adventure. They were glad to stand behind count- ers again rather than up to the neck in mud and blood. And in the long English twilight there is time for a tradesman or a clerk, even after long hours, to mess about with the flowers or the vegetables. Dartford is bourgeois and somewhat insulated and isolated from the rest of the world. They have a saying in Dartford which runs, "Thank God for the British Channel." Although Cham- berlain sits in the seat of the mighty and comes from a line of honored Parliamentary leaders, his origins are in the Dartford set. Cliveden came later. The Prime Minister spoke out of a knowledge of middle-class psychology when he said that Czechoslovakia was a far-away land and a tiny country. He realized that in the little houses of Dartford a man might stand up and touchi a roof which was all that stood between him and an enemy bomb. * . * Young Adolph Is A Promising Lad! ,ulletin Board immediately.

SThe ]Editor Gets Told 4 , No Master For America To the Editor: Quite inadvertently Mr. Fitzhenry has spoken a truth in his Thursday editorial that has slowly been becoming perceptible to the public at large; a truth that was the cause of the large return to the Republican ranks last Tuesday, and a truth that smarter men than Mr. Fitzhenry have been trying to keep from the public consciousness. The truth in the words of Mr. Fitzhenry is that many of the citizens have begun to "recognize in the Washington government, the voice of a master." In Germany the people have recog- nized the voice of the master Hitler, in Italy also a master, Mussolini, and in the United States government, the voice of a master. But singularly enough, the American people have never loved the voice of a master. Instead they prefer, the voice of a leader or representative. Slowly the citizens of the United States have begun to realize that the present government in Washington had quite other ideas of government., When the voice of the critic Boake Carter was heard no more over the radio, when the supreme court was slated for domination, when the purge started, the people heard with repugnance the undertones of a master. They began then to understand that one last element of free govern- ment was left to them-the secret ballot with more than one party upon it. So they grasped at that last privilege before it too might succumb to the voice of a master. And the result was what any master might expect of a free people. Now, since the country has spoken in no un- certain terms about the voices of its masters, may I make a suggestion that the voices of the radicals on the Daily also be still for a time at least so that the weary readers may be free from their unwelcome voices however masterful. -G. W. Canter's Depressional To the Editor: This is my depressional: Lord God of Hosts be with us yet, etc., lest we forget, etc. I Protect us from all traps and snares, as well as pseudo-rhyming prayers. Not only from the strident squalls of Reds in academic halls, but from the guys who hog the dough and legion- naires who like it so. From a city clerk with sheriff aid who of the law is not afraid; evicts with all of legal might without regard for -legal right. From law en- forcers whose only end is to punish foe and pro- tect friend. From the Aryan bird whose fond repose in the superiority of his nose is like his prejudice and hate against all hair that isn't straight, or like his wish that he could drown all babies yel- low, black or brown. From governors who seem to like to kill all working men who strike: who want no labor discontent-and by this wish is surely meant to call the soldiers to the field and force union men to yield to any terms the lords may frame. Oh Liberty, God bless thy name! Protect us most of all, we pray, from squirrelly guys who try to say their screwy thoughts in lousy rhyme. Less than a fortnight after the ratification of the peace of Munich by the Parliaments of France and Britain every nation in the world is building armaments or planning to build armaments on an unprece- dented scale. The initiative in this new effort to strengthen air forces, land forces, set forces, has passed into the hands of the democratic1 nations. The reason is not hard to find. Mr. Winston Churchill accu- rately identified it in his radio ad- dress broadcast from London to the United States. The very Governments which profess to believe that thej nations of the world should not allow themselves to be drawn into "a pure- ly theoretical antagonism between democracy and dictatorship lack faith in the success of a policy of appeasement. Hence they arm. They arm because, as Mr. Churchill says, the antagonism is not theoretical, but here and now. It governs our lives. It poses a choice between all that a free people cherish in the name of freedom and an alternative system that "leaps out at us from the Dark Ages"'-a system that thrives'upon and breeds intolerance, suppression of civil liberties, the con- ception of the citizen as a mere soul- less fraction of the state and reliance on the cult of war. The democracies have come to learn that dictatorships "must seek from time to time," as Mr. Churchill puts it, "and always, mark you, at shorter intervals, anew prize, a new victim." For the dictator is held in the grip of his party regime. He can go forward; he cannot go back. "He must blood his hounds and show them sport, or else be destroyed by them". This much the democracies have learned. After Munich, after Vienna, after a sequence of conquests and' encroachments at the expense of nations which lack effective means of self-defense, it is inevitable that the democracies should arm. But whether they will find security in armaments alone, without a general agreement ,as to the purposes for which these armaments will be used, is a much more doubtful question. There has never been a time in the post-war years when the words "col- lective security" have commanded less respect than they do today. The League of Nations is discredited. Small countries have been deserted by their allies. Treaties have been broken with impunity. Yet, distant as the day may be when the goal can be achieved, "collective security" re- mains the only alternative to an at- tempt to achieve safety in isolation, at a price which may easily mean national bankruptcy. The swiftly moving events which are now forcing the pace of rearmament merely offer further proof that the world will know no real respite from war and from recurrent threats of violence until the strength of nations which want peace on honorable terms is ranged behind law and order. -The New York Times Chaco Peace The speech pronounced by the President of the (Argentine) Nation at the ceremonies concluding the treaty of peace between Bolivia and Paraguay has the singular merit of showing that the American republics Bowling: The Board of the Women's Athletic Association has created a1 new sports manager's position-that of Bowling Manager.

All mechanicals who are interested And so he made the peace which passes under- standing, firm in the belief that the small and humble of the placid villas along the Thames would agree that even temporary safety of life and limb was of more importance than abstract things called liberty and justice. And in the vigorous campaign Chamberlain's men spoke of just one thing when they argued for the Tory, cause. They pushed aside all other issues and said, "He kept us out of war." But when the peace came the men and wo- men of Dartford found it was no peace at all. They could still hear the voice of Hitler. There was no cessation in the tramp of marching men. The fires of Fascism burned more brightly. And to the hearts of clerks and small tradesmen of Dartford came a consuming decision. Among, them were those whose ancestors pulled a good bow at Hastings. And louder than the roar of any bomb there came the inner voice to say, "Justice and liberty are not just words. These are the very soil in which our flowers grow."
