L AST THURSDAY, Cordell Hull af- fixed his signatpre to the reciprocal ade agreements between Great Britain and the S. and Canada and the U. S. This event was >t a mere trivial nor ordinary happening; for iese trade agreements will undoubtedly have ,r-reaching consequences in the sphere of in- rnational relations. The signing of separate treaties oy Canada 6d Great Britain with the same country is, om the standpoint of world politics, a signifi- .nt event: it emphasized the gradual separa- on between the Dominions and the mother Mntry that through past years has progressed ainly in the realm of political independence ith an increasing apount of self-government 'ing vested in the Dominions. Despite political dependence, however, and the growing cultural anges between England and the Dominions, ie strongest link of all,t economic trade, con- aued to bind the two tightly together. Even iough the two nations signed the treaties at .e same time, the very fact that Canada signed e pact separately portrays the gradual slack- ing of economic ties; and this slackening will further emphasized at the coming Lima Con- rence, dealing with both economic and political lations in the Americas, when, for the first ne , Canada will participate in a Pan-Ameri- n congress. Another important ramification of the treaties that German-American trade will be further duced. Germany is now surrounded by a solid onomic wall erected by the 21 states, including e U. S., who have to date accepted the principle tariff reciprocity. The pacts with Britain and Wnada alone cover one-third of the total amount world trade and significantly restrict the field which German products can continue to com- te. Added to Germany's insistence upon bi- :eral "barter" dealings, that is the direct trad- g of the goods, these pacts will make it in- easingly difficult for Germany to obtain the w materials she needs in return for the manu- :tured articles she wants to exchange and may rce her to alter her plans for autarchy. The treaties, however, will necessitate cer- in re-adjustments in American economic life. e State Department has taken "great care to oid injury" to American industry, but it is ite probable that there will be some who will adversely affected by some of the provisions the pacts. Possibly, in such trades as intricate xtile work, there will be some unemployment. 2 the other hand, there will be many industries, 3h as those manufacturing heavy iron and el products, which will benefit greatly by the cts, and it is expected that these industries l take up the slack of the depressed trades d even employ more, thus reducing the total tional unemployment and insecurity. In that spect and in many others, reciprocal trade reements in our opinion will, in the long run, ng the advantages of international specializa- n, and a firmer and more lasting prosperity, ilt upon international amity, rather than in- national competition. -Laurie Mascott olitical Aspects Of its worthy objective, namely, the determination of ways and means whereby greater economy and effilency in the conduct of public affairs might be procured, This cooperation is not only important, but indispensable for the achievement of reform in the patchwork system of government currently existent in the State. The realization of these reforms is not to be considered a matter of mere party policy. Rather the inherent worth of the project is of such proportions that it should transcend a consideration of purely political issues. It is the obligation of any administration and, for that matter, the duty of every citizen' to assist in-the attempt to better the common gov- ernment. Governor-Elect Fitzgerald, in a previous ad- ministration, evinced an interest in governmental reform through the appointment of a similar committee. It is to be hoped that his interest has not waned and that his assistance will be forth- coming in the preliminary studies to be made by the commission which is headed by Prof. Joseph R. Hayden, chairman of the University political science department. With this cooperation "mak- ing the government more responsive to the public will, and improving the quality of public service" will become a reality rather than an idealistic phrase in the minds of the 88 commission mem- bers. -Ben Marino MUSICj Calendar TODAY Madrigal Singers, Yella Pessl director. 11:30- 12:00, WLW.

The Editor- "Gets Tld. . t To Aid The Refugees To the Editor: Without a doubt, you, as we, have been made, sharply aware of a daily mounting sympathy for the victims-both Christian and Jewish-of Nazi vengeance. The local officers of the Ameri- can League for Peace and Democracy have re- crived a numhr nf inaiiries as tn where and tn Jifeenti t e Heywood B rou n PITTSBURGH, Nov. 19-I'm here on business, and, whether it is parochial or not, a New York newspaper man always feels forlorn at such times as he is off base whe things are happening. The newspapers of America's biggest city seem to be in quicker touch with the af- z: .. fis of the world. Pitts- \ .y.x . 1 burgh, for instance, has the same access to cables, tele- graph lines and other ave- n u e s of communication which New York possesses. But the metropolis is beyond question the journalistic capital of the nation. Much of the most important news of our country may stem from Washington, but ap- praisal and digestion wait for the New York newspaper verdict., Even in very small cities one may learn fast enough what has happened, but the vital prob- lem of "What does it mean," is not so promptly answered. Here, for instance, President Roose- velt's statement about Germany barely edged out headlines concerning the capture of some- body known locally as "the leader of the Blue Bandana Gang." And, while there was a certain amount of comment in hotel lobbies, the whole incident of the President's statement was dis- cussed as if here was an episode very far removed from the vital concerns of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. S * ,** 'New York Is Calling' - Early in the morning it was borne in on me that New York is many thousands of miles closer to Europe than the rest of the country. At an un- seeming hour the telephone rang an a New York operator said, "Miss Dorothy Thompson is trying to get in touch with you." Naturally I was pleased but also puzzled be- cause I could not possibly imagine what Mis Thompson would want to say to me at 8 o'clock in the morning or 8 in the evening, either. Promptly enough I put in my return call, and for several hours I had personal testimony of the extraordinary position which Miss Thompson has achieved as a leader of American public opin- ion. I read her column every other day, but, of course, I don't always agree with her. I kept call- ing and calling, but the line was always busy. Now and again between my efforts there was the return communication 'froni New York but it always came when I was just around the corner. In the middle of a busy session of the C.I.O. convention Allen Heywood, New York regional director, came up to me and said, "Either you've got to change your name or I'll change mine. I just had to climb three flights of stairs to answer a telephone call which turned out to be for the wrong Heywood. You columnists are a nuisance. I wish you'd keep your fans off the back of my neck. Somebody in New York called Dorothy Thompson wants to speak to you." * * * Rights Of The Defendant I assured my spiritual uncle that this was no fan but something of more importance, and when I did get the message I found that this certainly was a time in which I thoroughly agreed with Miss Thompson and respected her capacity for leadership. As you undoubtedly know, Dorothy Thompson spoke over the air and urged that Herschel Grynszpan, assassin of a German Embassy offi- cial, should have a public trial in France and that he, should be represented by competent counsel. To that end she is asking the support of fellow newspaper writers in America. It is her feeling that the case presents a challenge to the insti- tution of the free press all over the world. I agree entirely. There will be criticism that the effort to bring the case into the open and to protect the legal rights of the defendant consti- tutes condoning a crime. Nothing could be more unfair or silly. In New York City a case has just ended in which a man who admitted murder is to be sent to prison for life. He had eminent counsel, and I have heard no one say that this was unfair or thwarted the orderly processes of justice. It is an old American tradition that, every man has a right to his day in court. It is an old democratic tradition. The case of Herschel Grynszpan unmistakably is one in which the background must be studied. Individual terrorism is tragically futile, foolish and evil. It defeats its own purposes. United States; Self-Help for German Refugees, which aids German refugees to find homes in other countries; American Christian Committee for Christian German Refugees, which aids refu- gees already in this country; and the Non-Sec- tarian Committee for Political Refugees, Interna- tional Labor Defense, which aids refugees from the Sudeten. The money sent to the four committees had been held in escrow for a time since the Presi- dent's Advisory Committee seemed about to undertake the task of aiding refugees; and the League had planned to turn over the funds to that committee. Anyone willing and able to give funds to the sufferers at this time can send their contribu- tions to either the American League for Peace and Democracy, 268 4th Ave., New York, N. Y., or locally, to the treasurer of the Ann Arbor branch of the League, Mr. Bert Doolittle, 213 N. Thayer St., Ann Arbor, Mich. -Lucille Poor Sports And Nazis To the Editor: TheG ran NaO z st dent's rO nnr';nn n nart The King's Speech and the Prime Minister's exposition of it are calcu- lated to make the hearts of Govern- ment candidates in the by-elections sink. The Dartford result, following on the Oxford poll, exhibits convin- cingly the-untruth of the common Conservative statement (repeated every other day as a sort of devo- tional incantation by the (London Times) that the "overwhelming mass. of British opinion' is "whole-hear- tedly" with Mr. Chamberlain. Such an absurd statement is, of course, contrary to the personal ex- perience of every one of us, but it is useful to have it shown up in black and white. It is useful also to see the explosion of the legend, fostered by fond Government hopes, that if a stateman can be labelled "peace- maker" the women will be certain to follow him; they did not at Dartford. Why women should be supposed to be less capable of an intelligent critical judgment than men always seem a little obscure. The thinness of the King's Speech and the complete lack of enthusiasm and force with which Mr. Chamber- lain elaborated on it will aid the dis-illusion that has succeeded the emotions of September 30. The Gov- ernment's stock will slump still farther. It has one positive asset- its aim to "promote the development of good understanding" with Ger- many, but unfortunately the same spirit of "appeasement' is not visible on the other side. Every speech of Herr Hitler and Dr. Goebbels, every truculent attack on British states- men, makes it harder for ordinary people to look at the problem of co-operation in the same simple light as Mr. Chamberlain. Nor to most of them does the agreement with Italy appear as more than a cynical pen- dant, the price demanded for a dic- tator's co-operation, and the hand- ing over of another independent country to Fascist protection and the sealing of a great wrong that has not been forgotten. -The Manchester Guardian Common Front The Pan-American conference scheduled next month at'Lima, Peru, takes on new significance with Presi- dent Roosevelt's discussion of a pro- gram of "continental defense" of the American !hemisphere from foreign invasion. For over a century, under the Mon- roe Doctrine, European nations have known that extension of their rule or their "system" to America. would be deemed unf iendly to this country. But Mr. Rsevelt was not speaking Tuesday of our individual position. He was proposing defense of, the hemisphere, in this dangerous Fas- cist world, by co-operative agreement among all the American nations, each bearing its share of the pain and expense. He was suggesting virtually the internationalizing of the Monroe Doctrine, its acceptance by all Latin western world, mutually agreed upon America as the cornerstone of the and mutually maintained. The difficulties in such a program must not be minimized by wishful thinking. This is not the first time the Roosevelt administration has sug- gested closer American cooperation. The obstacles instantly became ap- parent yesterday with Argentina's flat statement that "concluding pactsis out of the question at present." The Latin American nations are predominantly Spanish and Portu- guese. Their traditions and culture differ sharply from ours. Argentina has close economic ties with Great Britain, many South American na- tions are affiliated with the League at Geneva, and most of them are deeply sympathetic with Franco's Faseist rebels in Spain. All over the contin- ent the emissaries of Germany carry Nazi trade and Nazi ideas. Further, the Latin American re- publics have not forgotten their fear of the United States as the "Colossus of the North," staking out an econ- omic empire with diplomatic power and armed force, at the expense of their freedom, their prosperity and their self-respect. It is not likely that we can escape so quickly the conse- quences of our injudicious dollar di- plomacy of former years. Nevertheless President Roosevelt is advancing the deepest interests of the nation when he suggests a coopera- tive American front against poten- tial European aggression. This does not necessarily mean a formal treaty of alliance. It does mean at least a joint declaration of our community of interest in preserving American peace and security against Europe's armed forces and Europe's systems, with; each nation individually improving its defensive power. That is what we can reasonably hope for at the Lima conference. -St. Louis Star Times.
