Vith this attitude we are in complete accord. cannot' but recognize that the alleviation of nan suffering is a duty which our common nanity will-not let us shirk; we cannot close eyes to the harsh reality of Finnish women's I children's misery; we cannot pretend in- .

Participation in such an activity ces upon us an even greater obligation.- We st recognize that true -humanity cannot be ticularized, cannot be earmarked for one par-, ilar people, but must be based upon recogni- i of human suffering the world over. The igs of hunger are no less painful to an Amer- a, Spanish or Polish child than to a. Finnish Id.

Carl Petersen he 'Old Guard' xghts Reciprocity ... O ST OF THE Republican pres- idential hopefuls have kept silent the matter - of trade - policies. Their nce has been so complete in fact, that Sen- r Barkley of Kentucky; who says all the nice ngs for the Democrats, has ventured the opin- tht Senate debate on the Reciprocal Trade reements inght not exceed a week. Reciprocity has the Qd Guard guessing. They uld apparently like to keep from sticking out ir necks until the weather clears a little. ry in his campaign, Tom Dewey put forth a tative policy somewhat resembling the license trol plan that was tried during the days of e AAA. But in recent weeks his only comments foreign policy have been blasts at FDR for tinued recoglitio h of the U.S.S.R. In his dress to Illinois veters, canny Senator Taft ne as near to straddling the fence as a pol- cian can by tendering approval of reciprocity ile stressing the need for more effective tariff rriers. 'HESE TWO have learned by experience. They saw Sen. Vandenberg lead with his chin not is a -Foreign Trade Board that would take over the trading powers of the State Pepartment and the present tariff commission. Foe 'of "bureau- cracy" that he professes to be, the-Senatorv'wuld yet give his trade bureau such power as this: the right to compel every person within the United States to produce all ,books, contracts or letters relating to any transaction in o0reign exchange, the transfer of credit or payment' be- tweeen American and foreign banks, and the ex- port or import of securities and of gold and silver. THIS IS, as Mr. Lippmann points out, a policy of;exchange control similar to the plans that financially hard-pressed totalitarian states have been forced to adopt. The Senator would also copy from the dictator nations the policy of barter agreements-trading our surpluses for the surpluses of other countries. Mr. Lippmann's parting criticism is that "this policy . . . would not only wreck foreign trade but would throw the currency and financial markets of the United States and elsewhere into such disorder that it would probably be necessary, even for us, to establish government control of all exchange actions." , It is on such rocks as these that the Repub- lican hopes of defeating reciprocity are 'being dashed. Instead of winning -converts, "hier attack on Mr. Hull, undertaken -for campaig reasons, is losing them friends. It'was thought by Republican leaders,. for instance, that labor, which has supported such policies as Matthew well's "Buy American" program, wouldjoin in the attack on reciprocity.' But Isadore Lubin, federal commissioner of Labor statistics; inform- ed labor that he had statistics to prove that the trade agreements have created '300,000 jobs for American workers. For this and 'bther reasons, labor has parted company with the Republican' attack on Secretary Hull.; CRITERIA OF LABOR'S STAND are the reso- lutions passed recently by two representative unions. The general eiecutive board of the In- ternational Ladies Garment Workers Union, headed by David Dubinsky, declared that -the "reciproca trade agreements have benefitted American consumers generally and garment = worigers in particular." The Union wants the Hull program continued three more years. Dan Tobin and his teamster's union seconded the motion. To put the final coffin nail in the confidence; of the Old Guard, a recent Gallup poll showed these results: Only one of 'ten .voters under- stands the principles underlying the IHull pro- gram. - But among those who -do -cormiprehend, I1 per cent think well of the treaties which Mr. Hull has negotiated, and 57 per cent think Con-; gress should give him power to make-isch trea- ties. Moreover, the poll shows a -preponderance 41!f favor for the programamong'-RetublIcan t voters as well as Democrats. N THE FACE of such odds, the Republicans have apparently given up hQpe that they can ; replace the reciprocal policy by some alternative plani, and are now concentrating on securing the passage of an amendment -whereby 'each treaty would have to be ratified by-the Senate- ratification requiring a two-thirds majority, al- most impossible to obtain. This step Would be worse than actual defeat of the Hull 'agree- ments, for it would ruin the effectiveness of the present policy while failing to provide a sub- su-stitute. Regardless of whether the nation favors their stand, the Old Guard Senators will this week try to wreck reciprocity simply as aface-savmig po-; litical gesture. It is an 'arrant example of look- ing backward at constituencies rather than looking forward at the nation. - Hervie Haufler Literary Reith Never was there such a time for the writing of books as in the United States in the two decades between the armhistlce and the outbreak of Europe's new war. It was a period historiansd will have to list among the golden ages of the world's literatures.- Already this fruition is being called the Amer- ican literary renaissance. It might almost be; better described as the beginning of a ature American literature. Certainly, it is not difficult to cite half-a-dozen novelists of these between- wars decades better than Hawthorne, whom 'the textbooks still present as the American-master. Lewis set the tone for their work by demonstrat- ing in "Main Street" and "Babbitt" that America was worth writing about. This period also saw Willa Cather reach her full stature. It -saw Ernest Hemingway write "Farewell to Arms". It produced Don Passos' great trilogy, "U. S. A.," Thomas Wolfe's turgid autobiographies and John' Steinbeck's devastating indictment, "The Grapes of Wrath." Nor was it merely an era of novelists. It brought forth the poetry of Vachel Lindsay, Robert Frost, Hart Crane and Elinoi' Wylie, Carl Sandburg's monumental biography of Lincoln, the critical writing of Vernon Parrington and Van Wyck Brooks and the. new history of the Beards. It gave us the plays of Eugene O'Neill, Maxwell Anderson, Thornton Wilder and Clif- ford Odets. It was the last decade that started the grim searching to find what men live by and to what purpose. Books began to burn with indigna- tion. In place of the Cabells and Hergesheimers came the Caldwells, Farrells and Halpei's -to stir our wounds. Writers began to ask with their readers: What is wrong with Americal They are still asking. -- St. Louis Post Dispatch ("Neither do -I think there is serious hope of creating a musical audience out of people who are enthusiastic about Gilbert and Sullivan ...

GULLIVER'S CAVILS 'By Young qulliver F GULLIVER has been informed correctly, it was a swell party. Everything was nice and cozy at Ha- gen's last Friday night. A good stout keg of beer-five dollar size-was surrounded by a good stout group of young newspapermen. They had gathered at Hagen's to say goodbye to Tom Patterson, typesetter of the Daily composing room, who was leaving town to go into business for himself. Tom had contributed the beer and the boys were contributing their appetites, which turned out to1 be more than equal to the beer. Albert Mayio, Editorial Director of last year's Daily. (Mr. Mayio him- self bears a strong resemblance to a keg of beer) was nervously awaiting Tom's arrival, for he was charged with the presentation of a little med- al to Mr. Patterson. Eight o'clock came then nine o'clock, and then (as it should have) ten o'clock came. As a matter of fact eleven o'clock came but Tom Patterson did not .. It was a case of Waiting for Tom. Mayio began to get desperate. His speech was, so Gulliver is told, very well turned; he had rehearsed it over and over. Finally in despair he whip- ped out the medal, made his speech, presented the medal to thin air, gulp- ed down the last of the beer, and went home. There is no moral to this story, and very little point. Tom Patterson never showed up, the boys made away with the keg of beer, and 'that's all there was to it. ON SATURDAY NIGHT another party was held. This one was a farewell party for a young couple who had decided to leave Ann Arbor and seek their fortunes elsewhere. It was a very nice party, even though everyone was feeling a little sorry to see the couple leave Ann Arbor. Toasts were drunk, farewells were evchanged; everybody was feeling more than a little tearful by the time the final herring had been distrib- uted. The next day Gulliver chanced to see the young couple. "What," he ,said, logically enough,you' still here?" "Oh," they answered, "we had such a nice time last night that we de- cided not to leave Ann Arbor after all .. ULLIVER received the following announcement in this morning's mail: CLASS OF '40 Friends are precious treasures- They're jewels you'd hate to lose. Perpetuate these pleasures By paying Senior Dues.

Iquote from page 431: Incidentally, those who have forgotten eve- rything about Mr. Hoover except that he was not smart' politician enough to appeal to our sovereign people for a second term might prof- itably be reminded of what his American Relief did for the Russians ... Hoover and his people did feed many thousands who would otherwise have starved.-and possibly did, later on,-vac- cinated maiy millions against ceolera and ty- phoid fever,-and were, as far as I could ascer- tain, the only agency of mercy and compassion practically-expressed in an empire where hatred and persecution were the official government policy. But the Hoover Connission was mov- ing out at the time I entered Russia, having spent some 50,000,000 of American moay -for purely humane purposes ., . Even without Bel- gium, the Russian leief work alone should give Hoover a high place in our history. .I comiend the whole article to the prayerful attention of all who are interested in the facts of modern history. For example, on page 434 there is another forgotten chapter of human experience Just after the First World War:, The European world, especially Germany, owes an inestimable debt to Poland. If typhus and cholera did not sweep across the Russian bor- ders into western- countries during these years, it is to a large degree owing-to the splendid san- itary organizjation by which the Poles guarded 'their frontiers.

The latest in- come-tax figures make this appear rather puzzling. Instead of being strangled by New Deal regulations, the higher income group has been doing very well, for the 1938 statis- tics show six more incomes of $1,- 000.000 and over than in 1937. At the same time, the lower brac- kets, recognized as the administra- tion's political mainstay, haven't been doing so .well. Total net income, despite the new crop of millionaires, decreased 9.5 per cent in that year or some two and one-half billion dollars.
