Developments Point To Third Term Candidacy W ILL THAT MAN run for a third term? This question has evoked a plethora of com- ment by political dopesters, but none of them have been able to put forward a convincing, unqualified statement that he is or is not going to run. Anti-New Deal Democrats have cried that Mr. Roosevelt's silence is ruining the Democratic party. Republican politicians de- mand that he owes it to the whole country to declare his intentions. The attitude of those who demand a disclosure of the President's plans can easily be under- stood. Before they can choose the proper course of action against the New Deal's continuance, they must know who the New Deal standard bearer will be. Consequently, veteran observers consider Mr. Roosevelt's silence shrewd political strategy. Another factor in favor of his reti- cence is the international scene. If he declared that he was not going to run, the effect of his foreign policy would be lessened considerably abroad. Foreign statesmen would treat his pol- icy as a very temporary measure which might easily be changed next year when another man would take office. T HAS BEEN the opinion of the best informed analysis of national politics that Mr. Roosevelt up until a few months ago had not made up his mind. If anything, he was supposed to have considered retiring from office. It was said that two things would determine his attitude when the national nominating convention convened. First, could another New Dealer win the nom- ination and then the election, so that his pro- gram of economic reform would be maintained and his position in American history be secure? Secondly, if another New Dealer could not win, would he be able to shatter the third term tradition? Viewing recent developments, it is our belief that he will run again. Consider the first point. He has been told by machine politicians, those whose business it is to stay in office and who are unconcerned about New Deal philosophy, that the Democrats will lose the election if he does not. Pearson and Allen have pointed this out by citing the attiudes of Hague in New Jer- sey and Ed Kelly in Illinois. Getting closer to the local scene, experienced politicians in the state contend that Michigan will certainly go Republican unless Mr. Roosevelt accepts the nomination. As a result of this feeling, plus some energetic undercover work by Roosevelt managers, there is now unanimous agreement that he can have the nomination, if he chooses to accept. WE ALSO BELIEVE that the second World War and especially the invasions of Scan- dinavia and the Low Countries have strength- ened his chances of defeating the GOP. Public opinion is supporting his foreign policy. The Republicans have not attacked that policy. Rather they have supported it. To be sure, they have assailed him personally as a war monger, but that charge will carry little weight with the electorate unless they at the same time attack his policy, for example, like Nye did here. Since the war is the major problem in America today, subordinating all others, and- since Mr. Roosevelt appears to have the major- ity of people behind him on that issue, his posi- tion looks quite favorable. Hyma Replies To the Editor: Please accept my cordial thanks for enabling me to explain in what connection I had used the term "potential traitors" in my talk last Tuesday before the Exchange Club in Adrian. Last Thursday evening, however, I asked your night editor to call up Mr. Hervie Haufler, and tell him that I should like to have him change a few words in his interview article. He had wanted me to say that I was strongly biased, but after some reflection I could not admit such an interpretation of my altered views. It was not the mere invasion of Holland that disturbed me, but rather the unjustified violation of Dutch neutrality. Moreover, I wanted to withdraw my criticism of the Associated Press for having pub- lished statements of mine without first consult- ing me as to the proper context. I still think this was badly done, but feel that such is often the case and cannot be helped. Altogether about ten words had to be changed. I am sure that if Mr. Haufler had listened to my request, he would have seen that it was auite reasonable. It is my opinion that in the very near future our faculty will be obliged before admitting new students to our University to inquire into their political views as well as into their scho- lastic standings. The faculty is very willing to improve the reputation of our University. Sincerely yours, - Albert Hyma Editor's Note: Not understanding what charges Professor Hyma wished to make against me, I called him yesterday and he told me to add the following post-script: "I think what you did for me was fine. It was a good explanation and it helped clear up many misunderstandings. I did attack The Daily two years ago in my book, but there hashbeen a changesince then. Ibhave no fault to find with the way The Daily has been run this semester." -1H.F.. Unfortunate Youth Movements To the Editor: CONGRATULATIONS to Professor Hyma. He has hit the proverbial nail squarely on the head. No fault may be found with an honest and intelligent peace stand on the part of students. Unfortunately, however, the motives of the ma- jority of the members of many of our campus youth movements are rarely honest, rarely in- telligent, and never altruistic. There are three types of people in the United States today who make the phrase "peace at any price" the basis of their religion. First, there are those who are in sympathy with the aims and practices of the Fascist, Com- munistiq, and National Socialistic states. This group insists upon strict neutrality for the United States simply because they know full well that any help coming from us would be used to aid the more democratic nations as against the totalitarian states. These people I accuse of intellectual dishonesty, if they be thinking people, and, in any case, call them not potential, but actual traitors. rTHE SECOND TYPE consists of selfish and non-thinking people who live only for them- selves. They recognize no bond between them- selves and their fellow men, and thus feel no responsibility toward those who are suffering from ruthless and wanton aggression. These people believe in absolute rights, of which there are none. They would reap the rewards of life in a democracy without wishing to accept their just share of the responsibilities necessary to maintain our present form of government. Be- ing short-sighted, this group would constitute an excellent "fifth column" and as such may be properly termed "potential traitors." The third type consists of persons who, be- cause of personal or close family experience, detest to an extremity any show of force-even if it be necessary to enable them to live as human beings rather than slaves. Much sym- pathy is due this group in the same manner in which one would respond to a person of unsound mind. They may find, as have the people of Poland and Czechoslovakia, that there are worse things than war. I sincerely hope that the majority of the peo- ple in this great land of ours still champion the "rights of man" rather than "legalized crime" and that they will remember that "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" are not the gifts of God, but rather the results of in- tense, unselfish, and everlasting labor. - John Basil Brandywine Postpone Election? Speaking over an NBC hookup, H. V. Kalten- born suggested Tuesday night that, in view of the critical condition of world affairs, the pres- idential election should be postponed this year and President Roosevelt continued in office by general consent. A similar proposal was made by Dorothy Thompson in a dispatch from Paris yesterday. The suggestion that our patriotism or our democracy are so weak that the nation's safety can be assured only by a suspension of con- stitutional processes is hardly worthy of serious notice. If we have reached the point where it is necessary to suspend elections even in peace- time, democratic government has become feeble indeed. . In 1864, when the Union was battling for its life in a civil war, Lincoln was advised by some of his friends that he could not be re-elected Hits Anglo-American Ties To the Editor: THE LECTURE by Dr. Barnes on the current war situation was the most sensible and realistic analysis which has yet been presented on this campus since the beginning of the war last September. Let us hope that such Anglo- philes as Slosson, Hyma and Dumond were able to attend. It was good medicine for them and for others who think as they do. Barnes was more convincing than most oth- ers who believe that the United States should not help the Allies. He pointed out that Eng- land is a greater enemy of this country than is Germany. If Americans would only do some bold and unconventional thinking (which is the only kind of thinking that is really fruitful), they would realize how true this statement is. , The British Empire is an institution which was moulded by aggression. It can only be supported by intimidation of the subject peo- ples, and by keeping in a condition of relative weakness those peoples outside the Empire who covet some of its extensive territory. THE FIRST of these means of supporting the Empire, i.e., intimidating the subject peo- ple, is well illustrated in India, where the sec- ond largest nation in the world is held in disgraceful subjection. This is the most fla- grant contemporary violation of the principle that "all just governments are derived from the consent of the governed." It is also illus- trated by Gibraltar, where the threatening presence of British troops and warships effec- tively prevent the people of Spain from pos- sessing a part of their own land. Such humiliation and insult to the weaker peoples of the world can only be justified on the theory that the English are a su- perior race, chosen by God or Natural Selec- tion to flaunt forever their superiority in the faces of less successful competitors. It is by this very theory that the English ruling class does' justify its enviable position. No one who is familiar with the writings of Disraeli or Churchill can seriously deny this. Americans are supposed to believe that "all men are created equal," or, in other words, that brown-skinned Hindus are just as much entitled to independent national exis- tence as lily white Englishmen and yellow- haired Nordic Swedes. Hence we cannot accept the British justification for her Em- pire. It is based on force, violence, and humiliation and frustration for some of the world's most civilized nations, and on these things alone. Hence we Americans ought not to support this Empire; we ought rather to rejoice at its imminent collapse. SOME WILL SAY that in such countries as Canada and Australia there is no case against Britain. But even this is not so. The English people are not giving the rest of the world a square deal when they claim that, just because they succeed in occupying a large island such as Australia before anyone else, that it becomes their privilege to exclude other people not of their race by immigration restriction. Japan has far greater need of expansion into vacant areas like Australia than has Britain. Here again, the only justification for this monopolistic British policy is the theory that, since the English are the best of mankind, it is only fitting and proper that large areas of the earth should be roped off from "inferior" human races and reserved for the exclusive breeding of bigger and better Englishmen. It is to the credit of the German nation that they alone of all the people of the world have not allowed their national pride to he conquered by their admiration of Eng- land's past greatness and present strength. Hitlerism is simply the rage of the German people for the monopolistic system which would crush them, if it could, just as it has crushed the Spaniards, the Irish, and the Hindus. IT CANNOT be denied that Hitlerism is cruel and brutal. Rage is often cruel in an individ- ual, but the rage of a whole nation, effectively expressed through an efficient national govern- ment, is almost without parallel in previous human history, Nor is it surprising that Ger- many is fighting England with England's own weapons, aggression, intimidation, and a su- perior-race philosophy with which to ration- alize these immoral acts. But Hitlerism is temporary. If Germany wins the war, as I hope she will, the fruits of victory will eventually bring prosperity to the long imprisoned peoples of Central Europe. With prosperity will come gradually all the luxurious virtues of comfortable human beings, among them tolerance of minorities and charity to the defeated, perhaps even democracy. At any rate, we Americans should realize that we must make the best of the coming Nazi victory. Let us start now to be as friendly as our prejudices will allow with the leaders of the new Germany, remembering that the surest way to bring some measure of decency into its policies is to accord it recognition as a member of the family of nations, even though not approving of its barbarous methods; above all, let us do all we can to restore prosperity to the world. A prosperous Germany will be a civilized Germany. The so-called British and French "way of life," which is said to be so superior to the German way, is nothing more than the rich way of life. Britain and France are Drew Pedrsos aid Robert S.Allen Go- WASHINGTON-Seeing them to- gether you'd never know that the President and Jask Garner have just concluded a series of hot primary scraps. the one expression that best describes their personal relations is "affectionate." Whatever their political differ- ences, the two men genuinely like each other. Illustrative of this was their conference the day California balloted to decide between a Roose- velt third term or a Garner anti New Deal delegation. There wasn't the slightest trace of animosity be- tween them. Roosevelt kidded Garner about his impatience to hurry back to Uvalde to fish and Garner kidded him back. "Tell you what we'll do, Jack," said the President. "You come with me to the dedication of the Great Smoky Mountains Park and then I'llI accompany you to Uval'de for a few days fishing. What do you say?" "It's a deal, Cap'n," grinned the Vice President. When they got down to the ser- ious business of the legislative situa- tion on Capitol Hill, they conferred amiably and sympathetically. To intimates, Garner does not de- ny being disappointed at his poor primary showing. He admits quite frankly that he expected to do a great deal better. But he evinces no bitterness, is philosophical in defeat. And he makes one thing quite clear: He will not fight Roosevelt if he runs again. Garner still is opposed to a third term. But he will not join in any disruptive movement at the Chicago convention and he will not "take a walk" should the President be re- nominated. "I've been a party man all my life," Garner says, "and I also be- lieve in majority rule. I didn't bolt Al Smith in 1928 and I don't intend engaging in that sort of thing at this late stage. I will support the party ticket, whoever is on it." 1 ;1 SUNDAY, MAY 19, 1940 VOL. L. No. 167 MUSIC By JOHN SCHWARZWALDER 'HIS COLUMN is being written with one eye on the past and one on the future. Perhaps this is the way it should be. The one bent on the future is intent upon the music for the forthcoming pro- duction of Shakespeare's "Winter's Tale," by the Dramatic Season. We hope we do not infringe too much on the territory of our worthy col- league Mr. Green if we mention that the music for this production is highly likely to match the calibre of the acting of Miss Christians, Mr. Holland, Mr. Sherman, et al. It will be directed by Thor Johnson, of whose ability and artistry enough has probably been said in this col- umn to convince even the most re- calcitrant reader that we think he is one of the best. The music has been arranged by Marion MacArtor, also of the School of Music, from several sources which, we are as- sured, are in keeping with the Eliz- abethan flavor of the rest of the work. Mr. MacArtor is, or should be, well known to Ann Arbor au- diences for the wholly delightful ar- rangements and orchestrations he produced for the Young People's Chorus during the MayFestival. He is one of Ann Arbor's most promising young musicians. THE GLANCE into the past which we feel impelled to take at this comparatively late date will be of short duration. Suffice it to say that this column is being written partly to prove to doubters that, rumor to the contrary, we are still a member of the Daily staff. Not exactly a popular member, but at least notorious. We should also like to thank those who have so kindly been with us during the late unplea- santness, those who have telephoned and written their support and sym- pathy, We are duly and deeply grateful. In the future, as in the past, we shall continue to put down our hon- est beliefs as to the merits of per- former or composition, secure in the 'knowledge that that is what our readers desire from us. its leaders as to which of these needs ought to have been met first, we cannot but admire the way in which they have performed the tasks that were selected. And let us not for- get that all political systems under- go evolution. Russian Bolshevitn today is very different from the cri- sis government which revolutionized Russia. We can rest assured that, twenty years after the shattering of 1-,a ,+fo Ta mr,, - hsr -a alm in DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN Notices Notice to all Members of the Uni- versity: The following is an extract of a by-law of the Regents (Chapter III-B, Sections 8 and 9) which has been in effect since September, 1926: "It will hereafter be regarded as contrary to University policy for any- one to have in his or her possession any key to University buildings or parts of buildings if such key is not stamped asdprovided( i.e. by the Buildings and Grounds Department).
