[he picture was a Porky Pig cartoon. cd how young Pork tries to learn the state- fit of allegiance to the American flag and, ding it difficult, falls asleep.

Closing cartoon is a shot of the flag, waving majes- ally in the blue while a band plays stirring sic. And the students hissed. 3oth -the irate gentlemen and the students lized that it was not merely the crudity of production that was being hooted. It was iply that the older man and the students look on patriotism in a different way. To the re public-spirited spectator, th cartoon ex- ssed sincere and laudable esteem of America's ry; to the youth, Porky Pig was an instru- nt for sentimental, propagandistic milksop. 'hat word "propaganda" largely explains the ference. Patriotic propaganda has justified ny a jingoistic war. Martial music and colored iting and appeals to national stereotypes have .t lost legions of youth into war, and the col- e student of today knows it. He is instantly guard whenever words like "glory," "liberty" I "democracy" are mentioned. The word "pa- t" to him has an unfavorable connotation. )lder generations have frequently attacked ith for this callous disregard of American tra- ions. But what can they expect when thous- Is of American doughboys died for "glory" 1918-and there was no glory? Or when tri- or bunting was used as a blind for jingoism, imperial ambition, for the safeguarding of vate fortunes? Or when "democracy" was d as the vehicle for an unjust peace? routh may be leaninlg over backwards in its iicism of these terms. But the depression, the ural reaction to the giddy twenties, the de- ie of opportunities for youth-all have com- ed to make this a serious, skeptical genera- 1. What is forgotten, however, is that basic- r youth is probably no less loyal, no less .erican, than the more blatant citizen. Today's ege student, however, is more apt to reserve patriotism until he is sure it is not being d insincerely. --Hervie Haufler o legre Pea+ce 'w rNMISTAKABLY and unequivocally U the dominant tone of The Daily edi- ial page this year has been vigorously anti- r The inherent danger of war to the main- ance and expansion of our democratic insti- ions has been eloquently emphasized. Proper tcern about those who are "eligible cannon der" ha-s been evidenced. And it- has been fiset tha[ intejb ,t nacif dr . not deg- minent possibility of the Great Darkness sweep- ing across the Atlantic. However sincere and intense these pacifistic impulses have been, until now no realistically effective national organization to propagandize this will for peace has been formed. But with the inauguration of the All-College Peace Front by students at Northwestern University, such an organization becomes a reassuring actuality. Their admirable efforts are meeting with encour- aging success. The leaders have promulgated their purpose as an endeavor "to keep the United States out of a European war." This they hope to accomplish "through. campus newspapers, consolidating opinions of the 1,200,000 students throughout the country. Polls, discussions and public expression of college thought will be used to make effective student viewpoints on peace." The basis of the front is "on beliefs that col- lege students will be called upon to fight in case of war, that strong and united public opinion is the best weapon against involvement, and that the college student should have an important hand in molding that opinion," Here surely is a movement which is worthy of the wholehearted backing of the Michigan campus. Its advantages are obvious. It is a platitude to say that "strength lies in unity," but it is nonetheless true today as always. Congress- man Jenkins, he who will vote for or against war, will not be greatly affected by isolated edi- torials in college newsapers which he will never see. But this same Congressman Jenkins will certainly hear the clarion call for peace as sounded by the united voice of approximately one million young people; his own political self- preservation will require strictadherence. It is imperative that this organization begin to func- tion on - a wide scale immediately, before the pressures and emotions so evident when war is about to be declared dissipate the energy of this omnipotent will for peace. Convince Congress- man Jenkins now in the comparative calm of 1939. The responsibility of The Daily to initiate the College Peace Front on the Michigan campus is reasonably clear. It Is possible and desirable for The Daly to invite the active support of such organizations as the American Student Union, indeed all student groupsinterested in social problems. If heretofore the manifesta- tions for peace on this campus have been merely spasmodic, disorganized outbursts, here is an impelling opportunity to crystallize all the vague, formless yearnings to avoid our participation in war. We need no longer pay only lip-service to our ideals; we can positively, definitely, con- cretely implement words with action. We need not be unduly discouraged by the lamentable failure of the Armistice program last week; rb serves only to strengthen the challenge. If Michigan can contribute in a significantly im- pressive way to the All-College Peace Front, it will be one of the major campus achievements of the year. -Chester Bradley 'MUSIC By RICHARD BENNETT Of Mr. Kipnis And His Music He came to us as if to say: "I am here to sing thee songs. In this hall of thine I have a corner seat." And he filled the hall with music, uniting sound and sense. It is not easy to say more than that about Mr. Kipnis because there is nothing in his art that stands out as though to say: "See, this is the scheme; this is the man- ner, this is the way it is done." I suspect that this ephemeral thing the audience clearly felt, but knew not what name to give, was simply Mr. Kipnis' undeniable sincerity and profound musical integrity. He has obviously set himself an ideal to which he consistently adheres. It is not an ideal born of a moment's notice, but it has been ingrained through long association with great music and a seasoned culture. To single out any one element of last night's program for comment is ridiculous. The whole recital was a compact unit with never a let- down. From the moment Mr. Kipnis walked with certainty and refinement onto the stage the audience marveled at what manner of man this was who was so very sure, so very positive of what he was about to do and of what the outcome would be. And then he disarmed us completely by apologizing for singing to us in a language we did not understand and straight- way giving us the gist of what each song was about. We like it, so much so that because of his affable personality and obvious good-will we- were ready to forgive him any differences of opinion as to the interpretation of everything from the Mozart (for we remembered Pinza) to the Death of Boris (we could not forget Chalia- pin). But we soon saw that there was nothing to forgive in any case. You -may talk about your Plancons . . and your Journets . . . and your Chaliapins-heres was an artist who need make room for none, one whose interpretations differed in a multitude of ways from those of any basso living, yet who in the space of tivo hours asserted his inalienable right to be placed in the rank and file of the foremost. I am sure that some of us had forgotten Mo- zart could be sung with an eye both to his melo- dic line (a line that must never be lost sight of if the singer is not to do the great classicist an unpardonable Injustice) and the bouncing dra- matic flavor of his libretti. Mr. Kipnis re- reminded us that it is quite possible to integrate the two. Then some of us might have forgotten that Robert Schumann was a great composer simply because he wrote some pretty dull symphonies. Some of us had forgotten that Schumann was actually a mental giant; that he displayed at times an understanding of poetry and the mean- ing of poetry and the meaning of music in rela- tion to it that was conmarable to the under- Drew Pearsx i cnd dgg Q Rbert S.A~e WASHINGTON-Roosevelt Cabinet meetings usually are not very stimulating affairs. Madame Perkins frequently goes into detail regarding a relatively obscure strike. More recently John Carmody has given loquacius reports on the Federal Works Administration. During these, the Cabinet looks bored, and waits for private talks with the President when the real decisions are made. But last week's Cabinet session over the transfer of ships to Panama registry was just the opposite. It was one of the most important meetings held recently. Roosevelt talked for one hour about the mari- time problem created by the Neutrality Act and gave various reasons for permitting the United States Lines to transfer eight of its old mer- chant vessels to the Panama flag. But when he finished, every member of the Cabinet was against him. Attorney General Murphy was vigorously opposed. So also were Harold Ickes and Jim Farley. But the man who talked the longest against the transfer was Cor- dell Hull. Hew as consistently and emphatically of the opinion that the ship transfer would be a violation of the spirit of the Neutrality Act. Confronted with this unanimous opposition, the President bowed to the judgment of his Cabinet. The ship transfer plan was put on the shelf. Hul's ictory Cabinet members who participated in the de- bate considered the decision an imiortant vic- tory for Secretary of State Hull. For in the hot, behind-the-scenes battle over ships, Roosevelt was torn between two powerful groups. On one side was the high-pressure urging of Admiral Emory Land, chairman of the Maritime Commission (and Lindbergh's cousin), who was backed by a potent shipping lobby. Also important was the President's own personal sym- pathy for any move to keep American ships afloat. On the other side was Hull, the entire Cabinet and also most of the congressional leaders. Just before the Cabinet met, Speaker Bankhead lunched with Roosevelt and told him that re- gardless of the legality of the ship transfer, the country was sure to consider the plan a viola- tion of the Neutrality Act--at least in spirit. NOTE: The Maritime Commission, although bowing to the Cabinet, still maintains that the ship transfer is perfectly legal and may trot out the plan again. U.S. Ambasador Laurence Steinhardt is get- ting a big hand, even from some of the career boys who don't like him, for the forthright job he is doing at Moscow. Steinhardt has one quality so necessary in Russia-he won't take NO for an answer. He is indefatigable, talks back to Molotoff and Po- temkin, and doesn't believe in the Oriental policy of delay. He is shadowed almost everywhere he goes in Moscow, and any Russian who becomes in- mate with him is also shadowed. This constant surveillance of his Ambassador has considerably irritated Roosevelt and has contributed in part to the strained relations with Russia. However, the State Department, none too en- thusiastic over Steinhardt at first, is anxious to keep him on the job. NOTE: Steinhardt is the nephew of Sam Un- termeyer, famous New York attorney and sup- porter of the President. Both he and Stein- hardt were heavy contributors to the Roosevelt campaign. No Labor Peace Inside reason why there was no White House statement following the Green-Lewis conferences with the President was the fact that there was nothing to say. Neither labor leader made any promises. Green declared the AFL was willing to resume peace negotiations, but frankly said he didn't think they would get anywhere. He contended that Lewis didn't want peace and would never agree to terms. Lewis was equally skeptical of further parleys. He declared the CIO was ready tomorrow to return to the AFL fold, provided that the entire CIO membership was accepted. But this, he told Roosevelt, the AFL persistently refuses to do. And until the AFL does agree, added Lewis grimly, there can be no peace, because anything short of that would mean suicide for the CIO. The President didn't argue the matter. But he indicated that he wasn't abandoning his efforts to effect a get-together. He told Lewis he would soon invite him for another talk. Reason for Roosevelt's persistence is the be- hind-the-scenes encouragement of Sidney Hill- man, head of the Amalgamated Clothing.Workers and co-founder of the CIO. Hillman is a strong advocate of peace and believes that despite the many obstacles, an accord can be patched up if both camps will make concessions. However, he stands firmly with Lewis against anything less than AFL acceptance of the full CIQ mem- bership. New Deal Widows Golf widows have nothing on the wives of zealous New Deal officials. Mrs. George Grant Mason, Jr., beauteous wife of the dynamic young member of the Civil Aero- nautics Authority, sees so little of him, she tells friends, that she practically has to make an "appointment" with her husband -to discuss family matters. Mason works from 12 to 16 hours a day. Re- G ULLIVER'S CAVILS THE TRUE LIFE STORY OF MANLEY MINTON NCE upon a time there was a boy named Manley Minton. He was born in a college town (his father was a well-known professor) and he spent the first twenty-two years of his life in Anne Harbor. .. DAILY OFFICIAL BULLE '___ ..._ Manley was a clever boy with a special talent for writing. By the time he was out of high school- he had developed a very snappy prose style, and the Anne Harbor towns- people agreed that he had a fine future. He enrolled at the University and almost immediately went out for the daily paper; he was determined to make a name for himself in jour-' nalism, since it was far more excit- ing than fiction writing, and more profitable too.' Manley's room was filled with books about newspapermen and other such glamorous figures. He knew by heart the books of Richard Hard- ing Davis, Richard Halliburton, and other such globetrotters, and his favorite heroes were Vincent Sheeans Walter Duranty, Floyd Gibbons, Neg- ley Farson, John Gunther and H. R. Knickerbocker. Young Minton did well at school. He made a lot of friends, he made all the necessary honorary societies, he made the correct women, he made the proper grades, he drank beer at the right places. He was an all around fellow. By his senior year, he was city editor of The Daily. Yellow Journalism Together with being city editor, which in itself was a position of some importance, Man (for such was his nickname) kept his lines out in a number of directions. He saw to it that metropolitan newspapermen kept him in mind. He wrung the last drop out of college news and sent it in to various wire services, scoffing at the accusations of yellow journalism which came from envious. newspaper colleagues. N addition to his newspaper work and his outside writing, ManI wangled a job as a weekly radio commentator on sports, about whichI he became an authority just beforeI his first broadcast. College acquain- tances of Minton's will recall how heE used to practice oratory in The Daily building: he would try "Hello folks, this is Manley Minton, your sports reporter," in a dozen different intona-j tions until he considered that het had struck the proper note of chum-i miness, and until he had driven everyone out of the building. But Manley well knew that there1 is no future in sports, except forI coaches. In his day, however, sports I was a stepping stone to greaterI heights. Damon Runyon, Paul Gal- lico, Heywood Broun, and Westbrook Pegler had risen from sports re- porting to mediocrity, and Manley1 was determined to follow in their footsteps. In the due course of time (four years, to be exact), Manley graduated from the University, not a Phi Beta Kappa, it is true, but highly esteemed by his immediatee family and those of his subordinates who were dependent upon his recom-E mendation for promotion. He had no difficulty in obtaining employment after graduation with International News Service, a subsid- iary of William Randolph Hearst, a1 prominent journalistic figure of the time, and, in Manley's estimation, a1 figure of heroic proportions. With INSE rfHE times were troubled. In fact, there was a war going on in Europe, and shortly after Manley's affiliation with INS, America entered the war. It did not take long for most American journalists in EubpeI to be killed in aerial bombardments,z and (much to his delight) Manley was shifted from covering the Detroitz Sanitation Department to covering the war'. Here was young Minton's oppor- tunity to bring all his talents into play. Certainly anyone who has ever gone through the yellowed news- paper files of the time knows that no one surpassed Manley Minton in1 colorful coverage of the war, even1 though the colors were for the most part yellow and purple. Manley dined with royalty and wined with the military. He knew all about battles before they were' fought. His finger was on the pulset of government, his hand on the fevered brows of the emirnent states- men. Indeed, it may fairly be said that Manley made Jack Reed look like a piker, except for one slight1 detail-Manley really did not know what was going on. Hitler told himh that the Germans would win, and Manley cabled home dire warnings of Germn victory. Chamberlain told him that England would win, and he was quite convinced. Roose- velt assured him over dessert that America had it in the bag, and Man- ley so assured his readers. No Brain Power Manley .just didn't have the brain- power to see that nobody would win. and when the Big Smash came there By Young tulliver (Continued from Page 2) ice Examination for Procurement In- spector.
