W. Stewart- Roddie, will take place. Col. Stewart-Roddie has come to America direct from those European countries playing leading roles in the dramatic political performances of the continent, and his comments are expected to be as deeply significant as they will be entertaining. In addition to his recent European travels, Col. Stewart-Roddie has had many previous opportunities to wit- ness the spectacle of the continent. From the end oJ, the World War un- til 1926, Col. Stewart-Roddie was al- most continuously in Germany on special missions for the War Office, the Minister of Munitions, the De- partment of Overseas Trade, and in particular as a member of the Inter- Allied Commission of Control which carried out the work of disarmament. This experience has been supple- mented by frequent visits to Germany after the disarmament, during the German revolution and many times since Hitler came to power. Wide travel in the rest of Europe gives to Col. Stewart-Roddie as broad a knowledge of the forces and events which are moulding the fate of the world. AFL May Foil CIO Walkout At Stockyards Chicago Packing Plants Are Offered All Workers Needed By Rival Union CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-()--Negotia- tions for a settlement of the CIO strike in Chicago's sprawling stock- yards were suspended today until to- morrow, with the prospect that before they were resumed a crew of rival unionists would be at work. Orvis T. Henkle, general manager ,of the Union Stock Yard and Transit Co., stated today's initial peace par- ley had not altered his determination to have trading resumed in the yards next week. A stock handlers local affiliated with the AFL has offered the com- pany all the men needed to operate the yards. Henkle said that between 150 and 200 of them would be put on the payroll at 6 a.m. tomorrow. Representatives of the Packing House Workers Organization Com- mittee, the 010 affiliate, declined t disclose what measures, if any, they would take to prevent their picket lines from being broken. Their next conference with the company wa scheduled for 1:30 p.m. tomorrow. Trading in the great meat animal market has been suspended since last Monday, when the CIO stock hand- lers walked out. Chevrolet Sit-Down Ends DETROIT, Nov. 26.-(A)-A sit- down strike at the Chevrolet Gea & Axle division of the Genera Mo tors Corp. here ended today when 200 employes who had held the plan since Friday night left the factor and agreed to return to work Monday Nazis Attack Reich Citizens Who Aid Jews 'Master Of Hunt' Goering Cancels Hunting Rights Of Jews In New Move Landlords Ousting Jews From Houses BERLIN, Nov. 26-(A)-Nazi anti- Semitism was extended today by sharp attacks on those who sympa- thize with Jews. "These creatures, these friends of Jews, these servants of Jews deserve no other tretment than that ac- corded Jews themselves," the Nuern- berg newspaper Fraenkische Tagesze- itung declared. The Westdeutscher Beobachter of Cologne maintained that "our fellow citizens must not commiserate where commiseration is out of place; the elimination of the Jew from our life must be carried to the bitter end." Some observers believed these at- tacks were the beginning of a widcr campaign against Germans who think Nazi treatment of Jews unworthy of German traditions. Letters kept piling up in foreign consulates, meanwhile, indicating hundreds of landlords were ousting Jews from their homes. Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels' newspaper Der Angriff re- ported approvingly how a Jewess was evicted and her four-room apart- ment made available to an Aryan family of seven. There were other restrictive meas- ures: Indigent Jews were forbidden under an Interior Ministry decree to seek aid from public welfare bureaus but must turn to Jewish agencies. All Jewish studentloans were can- celled and repayment ordered within two weeks. All hunting licenses held by Jews were ordered cancelled by Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goering, acting in his capacity as National Master of the Hunt. Nachtausgabe reported from New York that United States Ambassa- dor Hugh R. Wilson, recalled from Berlin for "reports and consultation" conferred only 14 minutes yesterday with Secretary of State Hull before the latter departed for Lima, Peru, to attend the Pan-American Confer- ence, The newspaper inferred Wilson could hardly have said anything very bitter about the anti-Jewish violence here Nov. 10 in the brief time between his arrival in New York and Secre- tary Hull's departure. The paper also quoted Ambassa- dor Wilson's secretary as saying Wil- son's' return to Berlin was scheduled soon. Nazis Establish Pawnshop To Buy Jewish Valuables BERLIN, Nov. 26.-(P)-Nazi fi- nancial officials established a special t "pawn-brokerage" office today to buy, at their own final evaluation, jewels and other art objects from Jews. Some Jews, short of ready cash, need money for emigration. Others need it to pay their share of the $400,000,000 fine the Nazis levied against Jews for the slaying of the German diplomat Ernst Vom Rath by a young Polish Jew in Paris. Objects that will be offered for sale r to the Government doubtlessly will include priceless heirlooms that have been in Jewish families for genera- t tions-comparable to the precious ar- y ticles Russian aristocrats sold after . the Bolshevist Revolution. Public Opinion Toward State Matters Also Altered As Average Citizen Shows Greater Interest, Daily Survey Of Foreign Affairs Shows (Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of articles in which the writer, with the help of various members of the faculty, will attempt to analyze the foreign policy of the United States in respect to the swiftly-moving events in the rest of the world.) By ELLIOTT MARANISS Isolation is the traditional American foreign policy. Even more tradi- tional is the apathy manifested by most Americans toward the problems of tinternational relationships. Political and economic problems are discussed with avidity and emotion here, but the mention of foreign policy conjures up in the average citizen's mind strange and exotic notions of silk-hatted diplo- mats, spies and statesmen, all moving in hazy and exalted spheres and engaging in maneuvers quite beyond "> the ken and comprehension of lay ficant grip on the minds of Ameri- minds, cans. The increasing gravity of the in- The purpose of these articles is to ternational situation in the last two brino to readers of the Daily the opin- felt more indignant over the actions of another state. President Roose- velt's official statement that "I my- self could scarcely believe that such things could occur inea twentieth- century civilization," was picked up and re-iterated, sometimes in stronger language, by mass meetings and in statements by public men throughout the country. Prominent churchmen, Catholic and Protestant, as well as ex-President Hoover, Alfred Landon and Alfred E. Smith, went on the air to voice their sense of outrage. In the light of these events, the signing of the trade agreements with Great Britain and Canada trans- cends mere economic significanceand takes on important political aspects. It is being hailed in both countries as evidence of the ties that bind free, democratic nations and is being in- terpreted as at further extension of the principle of international coopera- tion. The diplomatic importance of the move cannot be estimated, until the extent of unofficial collaboration be- tween the United States and Great Britain is fully elucidated by the State Department. Its direct contra- diction of the German trade policy of autarchy, has been clearly perceived by the American press, however, and the approval it has been given even by anti-Administration papers is looked upon by the State Department as evidencing popular support of the entire policy of international coopera- tion. Whether or not this means that popular support will also be forth- coming for international political action, is also indeterminate, but that W'ontinhPd on Pate 5'A Traditional American Isolation Policy Changing With International Crises years, however, has had far-reaching effects both on the official foreign policy of the Department of State and the attitude of American citizens to- ward that policy. Especially in the last two months, with President Roosevelt's unprecedented denunci- ation of the German terrorism against the Jews, the signing of trade agree- ments with England and. Canada, the American protests against Japanese violations of the Open Door in China, the solution of the vexing land claims dispute with Mexico, and the expect- ed reiteration of the good neighbor policy at the Pan-American Confer- ence in Lima next month, have Amer- ican foreign relations taken a signi- ions of various members of the faculty in respect to the historical and con- temporary development and signifi- cance of these trends, and to attempt to evolve from them the exact nature of the foreign policy of the Roosevelt Administration. Most dramatic news event of the month, and probably, the most im- portant insofar as American foreign policy is concerned, was the "psycho-' logical" break in relations between the United States and Germany. The full extent to which the change in attitude of the administration toward the Nazi regime reflects the opinion of the public, of course, is unknown, but it must be evident to all observers that ,not since 1917 have Americans Reich Breach Widens As U.S. Orders Wilson To Stay Home State Department Protests Austrian Debt Default As An Act Of Partiality Reich Blacklisted In Tariff Accords WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-(P)- Signs of strained relations with Ger- many multiplied today when the State Department assigned its Ambassa- dor to Berlin to an indefinite tour of of duty in Washington and published new protest against Nazi treatment of American creditors. Sumner Welles, acting Secretary of State, announced that Ambassador Hugh Wilson, who returned here to- day from Berlin on his way to confer with President Roosevelt at Warm Springs, Ga., had been assigned to the Department as an advisor on re- lations between the two countries. Other officials said later that the assignment, while for an indefinite period, was a temporary one. - Complain Against Discrimination Thereafter the Department diis- closed, that the United States Em- bassy in Berlin had complained to the German Government yesterday against "acts or policies of foreign governments w h i c h discriminate against American creditors and give foreign creditors more favorable treatment tham Americans." This referred to the tact that Ger- many has not continued service on Austrian debts outstanding in this country when Austria became a part of the Reich. An exchange of notes published by the Department said Germany already was making pay- ments on Austrian obligations to creditors in Great Britain, France and some other nations. Unfavorable Trade Relations The German Government, in a note of Nov. 17, said that while it had been possible to recognize and pay certain Austrian obligations in those -ountries because of Germany's fav- 7rable trade balance with them, it had been impossible to make any Ameri- can arrangement because of unfavor- able trade relations. The Reich is on the United States' economic "blacklist," being deprived >f tariff concessions granted other :ountries because she allegedly dis- criminates against American goods. Ambassador Wilson, who conferred with officials here briefly before his scheduled departure at midnight for atlanta, en route to the "Little White .ouse," told reporters he could make :o statement as to the purpose of us visit nor probable length of stay .n the United States until after he ad seen the President. Colobia Gets Army And Navy Aid From US. Sixth Latin American State To Ask For Missions As Defense Advisers WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-()-The United States Government announced today that naval and military air missions would go to the Republic of Colombia soon to cooperate with that country in improving its defensive forces. The step symbolized, to some stu- dents of Pan-American affairs, grow- ing bonds between the United States and Latin America for the common defense of the new world against any foreign aggressor. Five such missions already are on duty in other Latin American countries. "The Department of State is pleased to announce," a formal state- ment said, "that in response to the request of the government of Colom- bia, agreements were signed Nov. 23 providing for the furnishing by 'the United States of a naval mission and a military aviation mission to co- operate with the Colombian Ministry of War. The two missions will func- tion in an advisory capacity to the Colombian navy and military air forces." The action is of particular import- ance to the United States because of Colombia's proximity to the Pana- ma Canal, a vital artery in the Ameri- can defense system. The Panama Canal Zone, now owned by the United States, formerly was part of Colom- bia.

Dr. Margaret (Continued on Page 3)- IS n a a 1~ e s J 0 o' Military Agreement Provides For Anglo-FrenchCooperation By BEN MARINOa Without actually forming an al-a liance, France and Great Britain haveo recently concluded an important mili-a tary agreement which contemplates their cooperation in the event of aa future war, according to Prof. How- ard M. Ehrmann of the history de- partment. This agreement accomplishes twoc ends, he said, namely the integrationt of their building programs for air-t craft and the establishment of a basis for their cooperation should1 they decide to support each othert when and if that war eventuates. There is a decided difference be-x tween an alliance and a militaryC agreement such as that effected two additional airships including bombers and pursuit planes. France's share of 5,000 planes in the form of light and heavy bombers is to be ready by 1940, while the British consignment of 5,000 pursuit scouts is to be avail- able at the same date. The agree- ment further provides for the estab- lishment by the British of an expedi- tionary force of 250,000 men capable of being rushed to the continent to take position in the Maginot line of defense. Through the agreement, Professor Ehrmann noted, the two nations hope to realize a superiority over Germany and Italy in the air. The mliitary plan not only is meant to make co- operation in a possible war a matter of greater facility, he asserted, but Students expecting to take a train home for the Christmas holidays will be able to get special round-trip rates, it was announced yesterday by Mau- rice Simon, '39, student agent for the Michigan Central Railroad. Excursions are being planned to all cities having a large representa- tion on campus, Simon said. Group rates may be obtained for 25 or more. The tickets will be valid for groups leaving Dec. 15 and 16 and are good for a return trip until Jan. 10. Last minute changes, such as occurred last year, have been guarded against by waiting until final approval had been secured from the New York Cen- tral.

Foreign Relations On Presidential Docket WARM SPRINGS, Ga., Nov. 26.- 'P)-The whole range of America's :elations with Germany and Italy, with particular reference to the treat- ment of Jews in those countries, is expected to be reviewed by President Roosevelt at a conference tomorrow might with Ambassadors Hugh R. Wilson and William Phillips. The temporary White House an- nounced today Wilson, summoned honme frm Berlin for "consultation and report," and Phillips, on leave from Rome, would arrive here around 6 p.m. (CST) tomorrow and go ini- mediately to the Roosevelt retreat on Pine Mountain. Pending their arrival, officials had no comment on news .from Wash- ington that Wilson would remain there indefinitey, after his trip here, as a State Department consultant on German affairs. Although the ambassadors are not expected to have anything to say here for publication, there is a pos- sibility an announcement of a gen- eral nature may be made before their departure. While waiting for the ambassadors to arrive, the President today con- tinued his conferences, begun last night, with Chairman Marriner S. Eccles of the Federal Reserve Board on what was officially described as the general economic situation. Local Barbers Say Their Piece For Daily On New Deal Policies M c i i : By MORTON L. LINDER and HARRY L. SONNEBORN Barbers, widely known to be the apotheoses of garrulity, are generally accepted not as mere barometers, but as dictators of the nation's opinion, be the question economic, social, or political. Barbers always have views on both current and past problems. They do not hesitate to express them. In fact, the average man's barber is his greatest source of information. THE PLACE: State Stret barber shops. THE ANSWERS: L. T. Hathaway, Grpomwell Shop: "I am convinced that government spending is not an instrument of furnishing employ- ment. Instead, it is being used simply to buy votes. The recent elections, both in Michigan and throughout the nation, showed that the vote-buying didn't work. "I was opposed to most of the Nev Deal's measures for recovery, especial- ly the NRA.
