R PRIE FVEm t Crowd Hears Nye Appeal For Peace At Campus Rally Democracy's Definition Is Discussed At Parley Jack Barr Pitches Nin To First Big Ten Victory No Intervention In Europe Advocates Senator; Hits Administration Policies Pranksters Raise Swastika Banner By PAUL CHANDLER A stern-jawed United States Sen- ator yesterday stood on the steps of Hill Auditorium under Ann Arbor's grey morning skies to warn a congre- gation of 3,000 serious and silent Michigan students that our nation today is roaring down a one-way highway to war and destruction. With one of the largest Peace Rally audiences ever to assemble in Ann Arbor packed on the plaza be- fore him, Sen. Gerald P. Nye, of N. Dakota, made an eloquent appeal for peace that climaxed the most stirring anti-war demonstration which can be remembered by the local campus-folk. Bareheaded and shivering in a chilly April breeze, Senator Nye thundered out an attack upon Pres- ident Roosevelt's partisan "neutral- ity" and urged a program of calm action and complete non-interven- tion with affairs in Europe. Hits Embargo Repeal Branding the battles abroad as a giant "bonfire," the North Dakota isoltionist described the U.S. for- eign policy as "trying , to see how near tbe foreign flames of hate we can comne without being burned." He said that Secretary of State Cordell Hull's recent warning to Japan and President Roosevelt's repeal-the-embargo policy were typ- ical efforts by the administration which are bringing us closer to war than any of us realize." Sumner Welles was pictured by him as "an- other Cfl. House sent to Europe to meddle." Senator Nye continued: "America can't be half In a war and half out at the same time-it doesn't take a Confucius to realize that-but that is precisely what we are doing now. Our domestic economy is based on the profits which can be reaped from foreign wars. Apparently we are, doing everything possible to in- volve us; instead of minding our own business!" Swastika Flown As Senator Nye made nis speech the American flag fluttered from the top of the 100-foot-high campus flagpole, but only a few minutes previously the swastika of Nazi Ger- man had flown there.; Prbably elevated through some student prank, the swastika was dis- covered early yesterdaymorning and attracted the attention of hun- dreds of students, local citizens and photographers before Edward R. McFadden. of the buiding and grounds department made a hair- raising climb up the pole and pulled the banner down. Preceding Senator Nye's address Michigan students made an assault on war. Carl Petersen, '40, -chair- man of the Campus Peace Council- a synthesis of all campus organiza- tions which planned the rally- pleaded that students everywhere band together for peace and to make "America the stronghold of freedom." 'Stronghold Af Freedom' Petersen said: "Hundreds of thou- sands of students on campuses all over America today are speaking out for peace because they know the United States must be the encour- agement of the world. When right ard liberty are beaten down in Eu- rope and Asia and oppression and force have taken their place, Amer- ica must be the stronghold of free- dom. It must be a place in this world where children can troop into the schoolroom instead of the bar- racks, where freedom of action, free- dom of speech and freedom of the press shall never fall before the sword." The United States must, he declared, be one country in which the rights of "every segment of the population are protected by our in- stitutions, where life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are not mere empty -words." This must be so, he concluded, in order that, when this war is over, "the United States will fnrr~rn a fh.,din tilin'rf P. nrlr.ZAin Addresses 3,000 SEN. GERALD P. NYE. Trade Barriers Will Hurt State, Gault Declares Cut In Industrial Exports Means Financial Loss, Trade Conference Told Michigan, primarily a manufac- turing and exporting state, stands to lose a great deal by adherence to a principle of interstate trade bar- riers, Prof. Edgar H. Gault of the School of Business Administration told delegates at the first day of the Conference of Trade and Com- mercial Secretaries yesterday in the Union. Manufacturing, heading the var- ious braches of Michigan industries in quantity, Professor Gault pointed out, earns more than $4,000,000,000 per year for the state and is the only type of industry which can be termed carried on for export. The residents of the state thus must de- pend upon other states for products of other industries, he added. Paul T. Truitt of the U.S. Depart- ment of Commerce pointed out the need for uniform standards through- gut the nation in relation to inter- state trade. This would doubtless lead to reform of abuses found in interstate trade barriers, he added. The Constitution forbids states the right of discrimination against one another, basing this on the princi- ple that free trade is a stimulus to industry, Prof. E. S. Wolaver of the School of Business Administration told the delegates. Union, WAA To Sponsor First 'Sunday $Saunter' The first of a series of Sunday Saunters to be conducted jointly under the auspices of the WAA and the Union will start at 10 a.m. to- morrow at the side entrance to the Union. according to Harold Singer, '41. The hike will be conducted by Wayne Whitaker and will include the Arboretum and continue down the Huron River Valley. Opening Address By Of People's Wants Democracy is a matter of deg rather ,than a sharply defini ideal, Prof. Paul Henle of the p losophy department, the princ speaker at the general session of year's Spring Parley, said yester at the Union. "Any institution is democratic sofar as any inequalities in PO are delegated and are revokable a majority involved in the inst tion," Professor Henle said in tempting a definition of the m; theme of the entire Parley. Suc of democracy is dependent not much on the methods by whic- functions as it is on the degree which it satisfies the wants and sires of the people involved, added. The Parley, annual spring 1 session for students and fac members, w0 continue today a tomorrow in the Union. Pa meeting today are "The W Scene: Chaos or Cosmos?" w: Martin Dworkis, '40, as chairm "American Democracy; Now Never?" Tom Downs, '40L, serv in the chair; "The Campus Cc munity: Amity or Enmity?" w: Ellen Rhea, '41, as chairman; a "University Training: Democr or Autocratic?' at which Roger E ley, '42, will preside. Following panels, which will be held at 2 and 7:30 p.m., resolutions based the discussion will be passed byt assemblage, and may later be pass on to the student body in the fa of a referendum, Daniel Huyett, . general chairman of the affair s: The Parley will close with a ft session at 3 p.m. tomorrow. Over 300 attended yesterday's s sion, and considerable discuss took place on the definition g by' Professor Henle.

He mentioned as aggravating factors the immense inequality of income, wealth, and the large number of unemployed. In answer to a statement by Pro- fessor Henle that people are primar- ily concerned with their personal problems and therefore asocial, El- liott Maraniss, '40, said that all the problems besetting this country to- day were social to the nth degree, and that the people concerned were certainly not inclined to be asocial. Professor Henle included in his talk, beset at its conclusion by ques- tions shot at both speaker and the entire panel, by the audience, a statement to the effect that student government is unnecessary. The mere fact that students are here at the University to get aneduca- tion to enable them to become citi- zens of a democracy is no proof that a University run by the students would given any better education, he said. Philip Westbrook, '40, took issue with this portion of the speech. Westbrdok claimed that students are not anxious to run things, but mere- ly to participate in the administra- tion in those fields where the stu- dent is vitally concerned.

The meet is easily the most import- : ant of the season except for the Con- ference meet, since the Wolverines compete with the two teams which finished right behind them in the in-z door Conference meet last March. The varsity showed a small but definite superiority indoors, and if it can hold its own against Indiana's strength in the events added for the outdoor pro- gram, will again be installed the fav- orites for the title.

Sixth Inning Rally Earns Varsity Win By NORM MILLER Coach Ray Fisher's Wolverine baseball team turned opportunist yesterday' afternoon, combined some clever baserunning with the stellar four-hit pitching of Jack Barry, and walked off with an impressive 5-2 victory over Wisconsin in their firt home appearance of the season. Held to; two hits in the first five innings by the Badgers' colorful Cy Buker, who sported a sharp-breaking curve and a chew the size of an eight-ball in his jaw, Michigan fi- nally reached the Wisconsin ace in the sixth. Bunching three hits and a walk the Varsity ran berserk on the basE paths to chalk up four big runs, overcome a 2-1 deficit, and hang up its first Big Ten triumph of the season. Barry Starts Rally Barry opened the big sixth him- self with a line single to left field. Captain Charlie ink bunted Wit- fectly down the third base line and was safe when Catcher AndySit fell trying to field the ball. Don Holman's bunt forced Barry at third, but Pink took advantage of a pitch into the dirt by Buker to beat catcher Bob Willding's throw to third base. Holman also moved up a moment later on another semi. wild pitch. Mike Sofiak rapped a grounder to short and again Pink slid safely un- der Roland Amundson's throw to the plate to tie the score. Holman, who had advanced to third on the play, put Michigan in the lead when he rode home after Bill Steppon's long fly to center field. Trosko Triples 1 But the Wolverines weren't fin- ished yet. Freddie Trosko, batting star of the afternoon, then cracked a long three-bagger to left to score Sohiak with run number four. Bud Chamberlain walked, and promptly proceeded to pull off a neat double steal with Trosko. The Royal Oak third baseman set off for second base to draw a throw from catcher Wilding, while the fleet-footed Trosko streaked home ahead of the return throw for the Varsity's final tally. The start of the game, however, had been none too auspicious for the Wolverines. With one out in the first half of the first, Steppon muffed Smith's pop fly behind sec- ond. Chamberlain then took Step- han's grounder and threw wildly to second in an attempt to force Smith, whereupon Howie Rader's looping. "banjo" hit to rightascored the Bad- ger captain.
