F OR SEVEN MONTHS editorial col- umns of every newspaper in the United States have been stressing the need for the maintenance of democracy, the principle upon which the government and everyday life of this country are based. Speakers have ranted and raved about democracy, students have held meetings stressing the necessity for its preser- vation and countless magazine articles have been published praising our democratic way of life. Friday, however, students at the University will have an opportunity to do something ac- tually conducive to the preservation and fur- thering of the ideals and practice of democracy. It is through the elections to the Student Senate that this opportunity will come. Whether or not students take advantage of it depends upon .them, and upon this in turn depends the even- tual working-out of the question of whether the Senate actually can be an instrument of democ- racy. Students are, of course, the people who should be most interested in maintaining equal politi- cal and social rights in a nation; they are the citizens or subjects who, according to usually accepted statistics, have the longest to live in that nation. At the same time, students are the people who need most to learn how to oper- ate and to maintain these rights. That educa- tion is something which can be achieved ideally through the extracurricular governmental ac- tivities of universities, colleges and secondary schools. NEARLY EVERY university in the United States has a representative body for its stu- dents. As has been pointed out in The Daily, many of these work with outstanding success and enable the students of the institutions in question to do a great deal of the actual govern- ing of their schools. This is certainly an excel- lent thing, but the University, widely known as one of the greatest institutions in the world, is graced by no such excellently operating "school of government." The concensus of opinion here seems to be that the Student Senate is dead, a cadaver beyond recall. No matter what is said on its behalf, past elections have indicated that stu- dept opinion is lackadaisical, apathetic toward it. Students here do not-or will not--realize that their very apathy is what makes the Sen- ate into a lifeless, powerless group-and that when it has possibilities of being a truly repre- sentative, powerful assembly which actually serves as a class of government and the key- stone in the maintenance of democracy at the TUniversity. Friday is the day of a choice. Students may elect whether to tapte part in one of the first practical demonstrations of democracy open to them since the outbreak of its struggle against the principles of dictatorship. Students may take advantage of this opportunity and vote: that will be an important step toward the re- juvenation, the rehabilitation of the Senate, a step toward democracy. Or they may remain indifferent as they have in the past: that will leave the University with the cadaver instead of the school of government aAd truly represen- tative body that might be attained. - William Newton Businiess Manager ..

Characterized in much of the anti-New Deal press as a "slap at President Roosevelt and a move against the lust for power," the Logan bill, in reality, is an attempt to overthrow the whole body of administrative ruling and pro- cedure created since the establishment of the Interstate Commerce Commission in 1887. But, of course, the bill is principally aimed at such New Deal agencies as the FHA, FCA, FCC, HOLC, and above all, the NLRB. ' The Logan bill, first, provides that no inde- pendent bureau may establish its rules and pro- cedures until after public hearings are held. It can be noted, however, that a public hearing usually serves as a political battleground rather than an attempt at clear, impartial analysis of issues and resulting action. HE MEASURE, secondly, stipulates the cre- ation of machinery for the taking .into the courts, immediately, appeals from actions and failures to act, of administrative agencies. But the machinery is so complicated, so intricate, that it could easily vitiate the work of any agency by its constant, overbearing restrictions. And there are further valid objections to the measure: it attempts to set up one rigid m'odel for countless differing agencies, all of wvhich should have the power to deal in their own way with their own unique situations; and it is sumptuary legislation, difficult to enforce. The committees on Administrative Law and cn Federal Legislation of the New York City Par Association well-summed up the Logan bill in their recent report. 'The report said: "It is a frequent complaint that the administrative process often operates to impose a control so rigid, meticulous and all-pervading as to destroy rather than reform. The present bill would apply to administrative bodies a similarly ob- jectionable technique . . . Under the guise of reform, the bill would force administrative and departmental agencies having a wide variety of functions into a single mold which is so rigid, so needlessly interfering, as to bring about a vide-spread crippling of the administrative process." ABOVE ALL, the Logan bill threatens a funda- mental principle of American democracy-- that principle which allows administrative agen- pies to determine fact and the judiciary to determine law. For the determination of fact and analysis in a complex industrial era, can pnly be adequately handled by a body of ex- perts, well-versed in the problem they are study- ing. The courts, however, cannot attempt to gain such extensive knowledge. Professor Sharfman's authoritative book on the history and functions of the Interstate Com- mnerce Commission well states the general prob- em, pertinent to all administrative agencies. He pointed out: "Since Congress itself pos- sessed neither the special knowledge nor the necessary time for performing the' continuous technical tasks of rate-making, and since judi- cial control was by its very nature inadequate, there was no choice but to delegate rate-making power to an expert, continuously functioning, O ALL Things... ....ley Morty-Q ... . AT ABOUT 8:29 Monday night, Mr. Q. was wandering around the Union, minding his own business, when all of a sudden a radio voice boomed from the North Lounge: "The Univer- sity of Michigan versus Michigan State!" There followed some riotous applause, and as Mr. Q. drew up a chair, he heard the announcer tell how this was a special brain battle between six men from the U. of M. and six milkmaids from the Lansing cowlege. (at the risk of alien- ating a bunch of shaving cream firms, honesty compels Mr. Q. to mention that this was the Williams Shaving Cream Quiz Program). There followed a lot of nonsense con- ducted by one Dr. harry Hagen, who insists that he is the original quizman. Then each contestant was introduced and the six fugi- tives from a hayloft told how they had vi- sions of home-making glory and that there was absolutely no truth to the rumor that they slept in a barn. Pressed for details, they refused to disclose identities. So then the Ann Arbrains had a chance to talk pretty and first up was Tom Harmon. Ton rattled off All-American Speech No. 64, in which the other 10 boys are given all the credit and if it wasn't for them where would I be, etc. Next Jack Gelder mustered his deepest voice and his radio personality (see page 75 of Pro- fessor Abbot's handbook) and he confessed his burning ambition to be a master of cere- monies. If Mr. Gelder (senior) was listening, he probably had three fits to think that all his dough went to make his boy an introduction to a pack of strip-teasing women. Our Stan Swin- ton followed, and Mr. Q. thought that the good doctor was in for it when he asked Stan about his activities. For, were Stan to reel off, at even a moderate voice pace, all his activities, the Williams people could have chalked this par- ticular program up as nothing but Swinton. But Stan took it easy and only used up a few min- utes. Incidentally, if any of you can find a news-reporting organ in the country ;to which S. S. hasn't contributed, and submit along with it three reasonable facsimiles of Swinton buying a pack of cigarettes, Mr. Q. will gladly send you a jar of genuine Kattegat water, guaranteed to cure German measles. DICK SLADE was fourth and reluctantly ad- mitted that he was going to be a great announcer although he had considered being a great actor but then decided that he would be a great . .. Dr. Hagen mercifully interrupted to allow Mr. Williams to get his money's worth, and then the fifth Wolverine brain was intro- duced. This turned out to be none other than Dave Zeitlin. It is rumored that four of Zeit- hn's professors who were listening suffered a severe shock to learn that David could talk. Pete Antonelli was th ;ixh A'Michig ngrene t set in, ut for some unknown reason, he wasn't asked what he was or what he intended to be or what he thought about State. The doctor probably figured that a name like Antonelli would have to be a singer and naturally wanted to avert any demonstrations. The introductions over, the great battle began. First to be questioned (true or false) was a State miss. The several thousand in the auditorium and the several million in the radio audience tensed as the doctor rea- died the question. (This was to be a great test of collegiate intelligence). "Is it true or false that Saturday follows Friday?" The State miss frowned, bit her lip, looked at her colleagues for help and then stam- mered a weak "true." "Correct!" exclaimed the doctor at this amazing display of intel- lectual skill. Next was Harmon, who was . asked whether it was true or false that there were seven days in a week. Tom looked down at his Ipocket calendar and popped up with a true and the audience was amazed that an All-American should be so clever. S O IT WENT right down the line with ques- tions of similar difficulty being posed. At the end of the first round, Mr. Q. looked at the oth- ers grouped around the radio, and they de- cided that this was just a come-on, that the rest of the questions would be above a four- year-old level. They were. The next round was about a five-year level. Two more rounds went by with such questions as: Talleyrand was Sally Rand's brother; or, Ann Arbor is a strip- tease dancer; or, a penny is the smallest coin; or, everybody has four grandparents. But the most amazing thing is that; by the time the fifth round was over, only one was left on each side. Zeitlin was the big Michigan brain, the others having failed on the following questions: Harmon-Privates in the army fly planes (Tom said false); Gelder-Airplanes can never land on ice (Jack said true); Swinton -Michigan is onei of the largest salt-producing states (Stan, who was born and raised here, said false); Sladc--An airport dispatcher is one who seals the mail-bags (Dick said true); An- tonelli-The Statue of Liberty is the symbol of Liberty throughout the world (Pete said false). So there stood Zeitlin who had come through this terrific brain-storm unscathed, and on him was riding 55 bucks; for, if he won, each man on the team would get five, and Dave would receive 25. Dave and the last State gal got off a few correct answers to such questions as: It costs $.99 to make a dollar bill; The United States was the first to have coins; and, to bail out of an airplane is to throw out water. But then came the fatal one. Dave must have been off his mental guard, for when the doc said: I 7nrtn nnirnr'l n cni-. .+a Tarn noa vwt ,.A VQ ' Drew Pearson aid RobertSAlen q WASHINGTON-As the Italian fleet hovered within striking dis- tance of Salonika and the Greek coast last week, Allied diplomats in Rome engaged in some very blunt talking with Count Ciano, son-in- law of Mussolini. What they did was to lay down the cards as to what would happen to Italy if I Duce took his country into the war. Especially, they laid emphasis on the Allied achievements in Norway. It is now well recognized that Hit- ler went into Norway largely as a ruse to divert the British fleet, and other Allied forces, up to the out- of-the-way north. Meanwhile, the German army could push into Hol- land while Mussolini landed in the Balkans. So the Allied diplomats showed Foreign Minister Ciano how his ruse had failed. They pointed out that the British had handled the Nor- wegian fracas without sending a single ship out of the Mediterranean, and that the naval forces facing Italy were just as strong as before. They also pointed out that the British navy had used its older ves- sels in Norway, had not weakened the main fleet, which still stood off the coast of Holland awaiting the expected attack from Germany. British Inform Ciano Finally, Ciano was told that the British had successfully landed troops in Norway and still had 200,- 000 men in reserve to help Holland in case of attack. There were also some very frank warnings to Ciano that Italy would be considered a belligerent if Musso- lini landed in the Balkans. This cold-steel fact portrayal seemed to make a definite impres- sion on Count Ciano. How much it affected ,his father-in-law, the Al- lied diplomats had no way of know- ing. Mussolini now sees no diplo- mats in Rome except the German Ambassador.mAllied diplomats are barred. Not even U.S. Ambassador William Phillips has seen Mussolini in recent months. Note-The Allied strategy hinted to Ciano is a French advance through the Alps into north Italy- the minute Mussolini sticks his nose info the war. Two Oldest Men Grim-visaged, bachelor Justice McReynolds was 78 last Febraury 3. Although still sturdy in health, he is looking forward impatiently to the adjournment of Court next month and the four-months summer vacation. Sometimes the Justice admits that he is a bit weary and his feet drag as he walks, but toward the New Deal he is as fierce and unrelenting as ever. There is no droop in his enmity. An old friend recently inquired if he was considering retiring, remark- ing that he had been on the bench a long time (26 years) and "deserved a rest." "Yes, I have thought of retiring," reflec~ted McReynolds, "I've thought about it off and on for some time." Then, throwing up his head and with eyes flashing, he snapped, "But I'll never quit as long as that man is in the White Hou~se. NEVER!" Note-Last fall, when members of Chief Justice Hughes' family, wor- ried over his health, urged him to retire, he told them in effect that he was determined to stick it out until after the 1940 election. Merry-Go-Round Members of the German Embassy, apparently none too enthusiastic over Hitler's treatment of private property, are buying up quantities of silver plate at U.S. jewelry stores. This is one investment they can keep with less danger of Nazi- confisca- tion . . . Reason Max Lowenthal was barred from being secretary of the Senate committee to investigate wire-tapping was because he was suspected of inspiring the wire-tap- ping criticism of J. Edgar Hoover . . One member of the German Em- bassy staff confided at dinner the other night that he was worried over Germany's loss of ships, be- cause now perhaps Hitler wouldn't have enough ships to land troops in England . . . . Perhaps remembering Bob Taft's too-hurried Gridiron speech last year, Senator Arthur Vandenberg spent three weeks writ- ing his. It was rated one of the most humorous in years.

Varsity Glee Club: Rehearsal Thursday night at the Presbyterian Church, 1432 Washtenaw,"'at 8:00 nym DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN 4 MUSIC By JOHN SCHWARZWALDER RE-HEARING of the "Moonlight Sonata," ]1ritish picture starring Ignace Jan Pader- ewski, brings with it the always interesting subject of just whait influence the artist and his interpretation has in the making of the music we hear. There has long been a rather fruitless controversy between composers and interpreters as to just what part each has in the creation of a memorable performance. Mr. Paderewski is, obviously, one of the ace per- formers of our day, and his comments as ex- pressed in his artistry in this picture cannot fail to be of importance. We feel that seeing a great artist from the vantage point of the camera is always an aid because of the added and slightly different perspective it affords. The camera's mobility allows us closeups of the artist's hands, his expression, his artistic intentions that are sel- dom afforded by a visit to the concert stage. That it also has disadvantages is obvious but surely the preservation of the mature inter- pretations of Paderewski even in this badly acted and written film more than justifies any criticism that can be made of it. IN THE MATTER of interpretation w2 offer these wholly personal observations. First, the artist's technique, even among the great, varies extensively and cannot help influencing his interpretation. A comparison of Mr. Paderew- ski's interpretation of the Chopin "Military" Polonaise with that offered earlier in the year by Artur Rubenstein on the concert stage shows this unmistakably. Mr. Rubenstein's forte is a muscular concentration on the dynamics which Chopin has marked in his score so pro- digally. Paderewski concentrated on somewhat subtler forms of expression. We do not say one was right and the other wrong. Such statements are gratuitous. We do feel, however, that tech- nic is not the least of the factors which change
