W ELL, GOODFELLOW DAY is over, and we all can relax, content with our annual contribution to charity. That the nickel or quarter we gave for the Goodfellow )aily yesterday may have been only part of the dollar that we give annually to Galens, the Fresh Air Camp and the American Legion, doesn't matter. The real point is that we should never forget why we're giving this money, and why we're called upon to give it. Campus salesmanship,,.generosity or just plain conscience are good enough answers to the first question; it's the second, why we're called upon to give, that is important. Isidore Lubin, Commissioner of Labor Statis- tics, gave the answer two weeks ago before the Temporary National Committee popularly called the "Monopoly Hearing" in Washington. It was an answer that is by no means new. Its import- ance lies in the fact that it emphasizes, for those who are willing to hear, something which The Brookings Institution a few years ago reported in unequivocal words: That the basic cause of the depression and of all depressions is the prodigious inequality of incomes and the small- ness of mass purchasing power. "American industry geared to large-scale pro- duction and markets capable of consuming the output of mass production methods, cannot prof- itably maintain itself," Mr. Lubin said, "from the proceeds of sales to that section of our families which has incomes of more than $5,000. That segment of our population numbers but 807,000 families and constitutes 2.7 per cent of the total families of the nation. "Nor, indeed, can American industry maintain itself on the sales in the income group that receives $2,500 or more. These comprise less than 13 per cent of all our families, and in numbers, constitute a population equal to that of the State of New York." Fifty-four per cent of our families are getting less than $1,250. Because of the inability of industry to main- tain itself from the incomes of the upper half of our population, economically speaking, the last nine years cost us an estimated $132 billions in goods that were never produced, though the factories and the man-power and the materials were ready and willing But it is not enough to explain depression and insecurity in descriptive terms. The important thing is to find ways and means of raising that mass purchasing power which is absolutely needed to maintain our economy. Think of that the next time you, grudgingly or otherwise, drop a dime in the tin pail. -Albert Mayio Another Orchid To University Band .. . W TH THE CONCLUSION of the Michigan High School Band Associ- ation Clinic in Hill Auditorium Saturday, Prof. William D. Revelli and the University Concert incident to the appearance made in the east at the Yale° Bowl this year. The Times declared, "The Michigan Band presented one of the finest performances of playing and marching as has been seen in this section in the last ten years." Ted Husing, well-known sports broadcaster has frequently characterized the marching band as "the cream of America's college bands." However, in addition to being a fine unit in itself, the band has not been content to remain a "good band." It has sponsored and fostered a wider dissemination of classical music through- out the secondary schools of the state and na- tion. The recent Band Clinic was a function vol- untarily undertaken on the part of the band and was designed to assist the association in a better selection of contest numbers of the approaching competition. This clinic is but one of the services the band has performed for groups outside the University. It inaugurated the Outdoor Band Festival which attracted 9,000 people to Ferry Field this past August. It sponsored a Study Clinic for High School students from eight states this sum- mer and arranged a program of professional ap- pearances and high quality instruction for the young musicians unsurpassed by any of its kind, according to Victor J. Grabel, conductor of the Chicago Lad Festival, who appeared as guest conductor of the clinic. Many appearances at society' functions and club meetings are filled annually by the band in addition to the regular performances and concerts presented on the University Campus. For its wide-reaching activity and its high quality performances, it is only appropriate that these words be said in appreciation of the band's services. -Ben Marino he E'ditor Gets Told To the Editor: In a letter I wrote to you recently, I stated what I believed to be a real,,positive solution of the world's problems and needs today: an ever growing number of'consecrated people dedicated to God's will and seeking through daily Christian living in their own spheres to accomplish a moral rearmament and spiritual revolution on a mass scale. I stated how I believed it could be at- tained with a little reference to what is actually being accomplished in that direction today. I would like to present more specific factual evi- dence of this positive force which is spread- ing slowly throughout this universe and is now represented in more than fifty nations. In con- nection with this, I would like to further elabor- ate the position I was taking in the criticism of the type ,of news which reaches your column: that the letters are somewhat trivial and lack- ing in constructive solution for the problems raised. 'Isms' Not Enough What I mean is just as definite as this. There are undoubtedly many in the silent majority on the campus who sincerely believe that Fas- cism, Comnunism, Reformed Capitalism or other economic panaceas are not the only solutions to be offered for the tremendous world problems to- day. Christ gave another answer that has never been tried by very many people in spite of the large number of churches and so-called Chris- tian nations. I believe that there is much positive news along these lines that should be called to the attention of our campus. I do not mean only such generalization as to the Spiritual front which is being created throughout the world in over fifty countries, mobilizing people of differ- ent religious beliefs, different races and has the personal interest and cooperation of such out- standing and influential leaders in Europe as the former president of the Swiss Republic; Mr. C. J. Hambro, President of the Norwegian Parlia- ment; the Right Honorable J. R.Nowinkel, for- mer Minister of Norway; Mr. Valdimar Hvidt, Danish Supreme Court Advocate; and Lord Bald- win, former Premier of Britain. -However, I do submit that it is the type of posi- tive news that should be a challenge to our honest thinking-when Lord Baldwin on Sept, tenth, 1938,, in a letter to he London Times said, "The world cannot 'forever continue plunging from crisis to crisis. We must act before crisis ends in catas- trophe . . . The real need of the day is therefore moral and spiritual rearmament. A growing body of people in this and other countries are making it their aim. . . . Were we together with our fellow men everywhere, to put the energy and resourcefulness into this task that we now find ourselves obliged to expend on national de- fence, the peace of the world would be' assured. ..God's Living Spirit calls each nation, each individual . . . 'Thy will be done on earth' is not only a prayer for guidance, but a call to action." This letter was signed by about twenty promin- ent British members of Parliament representing different parties. British Sportsmen Agree On Oct. 10, 1938, Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands issued a similar letter to her people, emphasizing the need of a moral and spiritual rearmament in Holland. In a letter to the British Press dated Nov. 2, 1938, thirty-four prominent sport leaders in England headed by Captain George Eyston, holder of the World Land Record, show how they are committed to this program. "Sportsmen morally rearmed will have influence reaching far beyond the nation's boundaries on the natur- al meeting ground that sport provides. They can create between all peoples, irrespective of class, creed and nationality, bonds of unbreak- able spiritual quality. . . . Britain's true great- ness lies in the creation of a new chivalry, and a spirit of unselfishness among the peoples of the You ofM NOTES and FOOTNOTES By Sec Terry (Editor's Note: with pardonable pride this de- partment wishes to acknowledge receipt of the fol- lowing poem from the gifted Miss June Harris, whose efforts have heretofore been so sadly misplaced. It required some artful coaxing because June feared being termed a traitor (her fears, needless to add, were duly confirmed). So we tossed out the idea of writing imaginary letters to Santa. June was at first taken aback at the thought of a columnist contain- ing ideas, of any sort. Then, when she regained her composure. she began pacing the floor, drumming her fingers against the desk top-obviously establish- ing contact with her congenial Muse. This is the result.) DEAR SANTA: ROOSEVELT I'm a chummy sort of person But I seem so short of friends, And yet I think they'd be of aid In furthering my ends; Unless the last election Was an optical illusion I've concluded that I'd profit by Dale Carnegie's effusion. MUSSOLINI Lately I've been thinking of A little mild aggression To add a few more countries To the lands in my possession. I want to have a brand new map So when my soldiers snatch them I can color in the colonies, So Italy will match them. CHAMBERLAIN For myself it doesn't matter, I'm the altruistic type, As long as Adolph's happy I have no cause to gripe. Secure in Hitler's friendship I'm really quite content- Besides, I can't ask for a gift Without my friends consent. DALADIER I want a pretty uniform With epaulets and braid, I want to look imposing When I march in a parade. You know that I'm about to bid Democracy adieu, So maybe with my nice new clothes I'll be a fascist too. HITLER I want a thousand puppets To dandle on my knee And I can choose the nicest ones To form my ministry. I'llhave them at my beck and call I will not have to urge them, I'll spare myself the nasty task Of planning how to purge them. KING EMMANUEL I'm not one for complaining But I'm getting awfully bored, In the position of a monarch Who's perpetually ignored. But if you send a megaphone, I'll scream my every word And maybe they'll remember I'm entitled to be heard. STALIN As Martin Dies has pointed out, My payroll is extensive And buying Shirley Temple's time Has proved to be expensive I hate to be insistent, But you know the way things go, 'I'm running out of Moscow gold And all I want is'dough. -June Harris JUST WHEN we sit back to watch the fascina- ting machinations of another "Gargoyle Missing" mystery, the plot collapses-and Philo Hodge and Perry Mitchell, faking smiles of relief, return today to the task of distributing their latest concoction. The mystery developed when Mitchell walked into the Daily distributing of- fice, where the Gargs had been deposited earlier in the day, and found them gone. Only a note, scrawled in a heavy hand and signed, "A Co-ed -the Sinister Five" greeted him. A viewer-with- alarm by instinct, Mitchell screamed, "we wuz robbed," and mobilized the gendarmes and led the posse in search of the culprit. Hours of investigation led no where. Finally someone inquired about the commotion, and upon learning that the magazines had allegedly been stolen, calmly informed the furious vigi- lantes that he regretted to spoil their fun, but the Gargoyles were safely stowed away in the Daily store room. Even a cursory inspection would have revealed that the note was written by a male hand. As for Mitchell. he was too en- thralled by the prospect of additional publicity, unsolicited and free. Hodge's flair for make-up is everywhere in evidence in the new Garg; it compensates in a measure for some of the stuff. On the whole, however, the book is probably as good as any this year. Hodge hasn't yet learned the value of avoid- ing typographical errors. In fact, in a feeble effort to apologize for a glaring typo in the last issue, he permits another even more flagrant one to mar his copy. But, anything for a laugh . . TODAY in WASH t NGTON -by David Lawrene- WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-Why did Anthony Eden come to America at this time? His first address can be studIied in vain for the answer. Nor does there seem to be a clue in the statement of Prime Minister Cham- berlain that Mr. Eden, exponent of the opposition, comes here with the full approval of the British Cabinet. Mr. Eden made it very clear that he didn't come to get us to pull any- body's chestnuts out of the fire- the usual reason suspected by anti- British Americans when anything is proposed by the British in the way of Anglo-American cooperation. Then, if the former British Secre- tary for Foreign Affairs and the man who is likely to be Britain's next Prime Minister didn't really come to America to involve us politically in any alliances or international under- standings, what was his true purpose? The most plausible answer can be derived from a reading of the speech of Herr Hitler at Saarbruecken just after the Munich pact was signed. The world may have forgotten that address, but, in it, the German dicta- tor solemnly warned England that there must be no more speeches by Duff-Cooper or Eden or Churchill. Indeed, the German Chancellor prac- tically washed his hands of the pledge for an anti-war era so far as Eng- land was concerned by pointing out that, if an Eden or a Duff-Cooper or a Churchill came into power in the British Government. he would be in- clined to view things differently. and hence military armaments had to be kept up. U.S. Greets Eden Mr. Eden refused to pay any atten- tion to the Hitler prohibition, and, judging from the course of public opinion in England since the Saar- bruecken speech and the recent mis- treatment of minority populations by 'Hitler, the Chamberlain Government has been distinctly on the defensive. What could be more appropriate for Anthony Eden to do to show Herr Hitler that he does not control free- dom of speech in the democratic countries as yet than for the former British Foreign Secretary to make a trip to the United States and ad- dress a group of conservative business men, who, the German Chancellor might have been disposed to believe, were as interested in fascism as the German business men who permit- ted him to come into power and who have supported his regime? But the business men of America are not fascists. They are democrats. And they showed the whole world what they thought of German fas- cism and the Munich pact by invit- ing the one man in all the world who typifies opposition to both. Warning From Hitler So Anthony Eden came and was given a great reception. Germany's fascists today know that the people of the United States do not subscribe to the notion that statesmen must be I muzzled or that they cannot discuss fascism or any other ism if they choose. Herr Hitler must know today also that, in the United States, public opinion is deeply interested in what is happening abroad, notwithstanding the fact that the German Govern- ment has mistakenly assumed its course is sympathized with here in more places than it is condemned. So far as Britain is concerned, the Eden trip is significant, too, and a splendid piece of strategy. The British people will learn from the press com- ments here that the Eden speech strikes a responsive chord. When the peoples of Britain and France and the United States think alike about world emergencies, it isn't necessary to diagram or chart in definite lines of action or in military alliances ex- actly what is in the inner recesses of their minds. Back in 1917, the Ger- man Government made the mistake of underestimating the currents of American opinion, and today the Eden visit and the enthusiastic recep- tion his words are getting may make unnecessary another fatal mistake by the rulers of Germany. Pers peelive's Pixies To The Editor: The review which was printed over my name in Sunday's literary supple- ment of the Daily was of a book en- titled A New Anthology of Modern Verse and not A New Anthropology of Modern Verse, as it was printed. I'll admit that the latter title has a nice metaphysical ring'that the original title lacks but I'm certain that our already confused campus booksellers are going to be even more confused if anyone is moved to pur- chase the book. The book, i.e. A New Anthology . . . .,is published by Random House and not Rodman House. I like to round off a social evening by playing anagrams but this is the first time that I ever got credit I for playing the game in print. Be- sides, according to the rules that I usually play by, propei names don't count. DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN Publication in the Bulletin is constructive notice to all members of the University.
