J HERE HAS BEEN a prounced shift in the attitude of Franklin Delano oosevelt, elected .in 1932 -and reelected four ars later on a program of progressive, liberal forms.' There has grown the gradual suspicion at the Roosevelt of 1939 is emulating the tion of his predecessors, Roosevelt I and oodrow Wilson, in changing his program om demands for social welf re to. a program ving the way for imperialistic war. Undoubtedly, Roosevelt's popularity is in- easing, largely because the "breaks" have been th. him. He has, first, won complete mastery er the Supreme Court by the deaths of many the conservative justices and the subsequent ipointment of pro-New Deal judges. 'DR, TOO, has had the political advantage of seeing a war break out in Europe and hav- g this new war attract so much attention that iticism of him and his New Deal have been er-shadowed both by the war and the exigen- s.of foreign policy He has seen, perhaps as the result of the ucity of good candidates in the two leadi rties, his prestige again mount, his chances r6 a third term for both him and his New Deal eatly- increase. . But -the fundamental question arises: Is the w Deal of 1939 and perhaps that which will be ntinued in 1940 for four more years, the New eal that took office in 1933? In short, the American public and especially nerican youth must soon find out whether the 39 New eal is the "war deal" and the 1939 mocrtic Party the. "war party" and not the rty whose comprehensive program of social form won the country's overwhelming sup- rt in 1932 and 1936. ERTAINLY, Roosevelt has made many new friends lately-friends that were noticably sent when FDR campaigned-for social reform.' day, the New Deal and Big Business, formerly ter enemies on the American political scene,, ye become rather warm friends, both de- anding, under various disguises, aid. to Eng- id and France, both collaborating in vast plans ' that unknown Mobilization Day, both cam- igning together for gigantic arms appropri- ions. Certainly, Roosevelt has alienated some h mer stalwart supporters. John L. Lewis, whose [h's 3,000,000 votes had much todo with the eat New Deal majorities, has publicly an- unced that he and his organization would not pport FDR should he seek a third term. Man the farmer-laborites and other liberal groups io were staunch supporters of New Deal legis- ion in Congress, have been found in the dis- nting ninorities' 'ERTAINLY, many of Roosevelt's recent ac- tions and statements of foreign policy have acked too much of the "Big Stick" of Roo'se- it I and the age of American imperialism rath- than the age of American humanitarianism d liberalism which the New Deal formerly presented Ambassador Grew's recent pro- uncements in Tokyo offer a specific example this new "New Deal" attitude. There has en the growing suspicion that the reinvigorat- actions of American forces in the Pacific, mlost simultaneous with the British evacua- ns of trpops and ships from the East, are .. . . . ..ninn"3-t ....cn t fl . thou -pow, nnl -'d -d4 - Front government have been all wiped away by Daladier, -both during the period of intense re- armament before the war (quite similar to the position of the U.S. today) and, of course, dur- ing the present war. ' SO TOO, in the New Deal here, there now has appeared a noticeable shift in attitude. The American nation, especially those wh are inter- ested in the maintenance and intensification of those earlier reforms and those who have no de- sire to participate in a foreign, imperilaistic war, must see to it that there is no renunciation by the New Deal of its aims and purpose of 1932 and 1936.- The American public should at least demand a new clarification and explanation of New .Deal policy. The nation should know whether the New Deal of 1932, the New Deal of humanitarian- ism and liberalism, intends to become of the war deal and war party of 1939 and 1940. . -Laurence Mascott The Spirit Of A Regulation . O NE OF THE most important things affecting the probable success or failure of any regulation is the spirit in which it is obeyed. No law, no rule can be said to be operating -successfully or achieving its proposed ends if it is observed only in 'letter and not in spirit. In nearly every law loopholes can be - found which will enable people or groups to obey its actual text, at the same time violating its principles. The recent attempt of American ship-owners to transfer vessels to Panamanian registry is an outstanding example of trying to take ad- vantage of such a loophole. The neutrality law-was designed to protect American shipping, with a more important purpose of keeping the nation out of war. Nevertheless, rather than lose profits and perhaps incur losses, certain ship-owners tried to evale the spirit of the law and at the same time keep within its formal limits. PRESIDENT ROOOSEVELT, called upon to make the final decision in the dispute caused by this attempt, wisely forbade the transfer of registry. In doing so he ensured at least the partial success of the law. If the President had permitted the transfer, American owners would have made more profits-quite true. But their ships would, in all probability, have suffered some casualties, and these wouli have assumed the proportions of international incidents of the type likely to arouse public feeling in America- to a state which might forget adesire for^peae. And, more important, such permission would have encouraged further concessions to profiteer- ing and evasion.. It is quite probable that shipping interests in the United States will lose by their not being .permitted to enter the war zone. These losses may total millions - of dollars, but the loss of dollars is a minor consideration compared to the millions of lives likely to be lost by American participation, to say nothing of the further dis- ruption of our internal set-up. -William Newton The CA A Meets Trouble . ... HE Civil Aeronautics Authority is bucking strong headwinds in trying to perform its functions of hovering like -a mother hen over the entire American aviation industr. An autocratic bureau is certain to run into innumerable complaints, but recent protests against the CAA have been particularly loud and at least some of them particularly reason- able. Among the more equitable complaints is that of airport officials in this district who are won- dering whether they gained or lost when they signed up with the CAA's student flight training program. The program was intended to furnish a "backlog" of 10,000 civilian flyers per year and presumably should have been a boost to the nation's airports. FICIALS -at Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and Wayne County airports, however, watched with dismay when their customary trade with student fliers slumped about 75 per cent with - the advent of the CAA program last spring. The reason for the slump may be that those stu- dents interested in aviation are waiting until they can take advantage of the CAA instruc- tion, but officials here also believe fliers out- side the CAA are inconvenienced by the pro- gram's demands on the airports' equipment and personnel. Reason or no, they are not flying and the airports' assets feel the pinch. Still another local group that is wondering about the benefits of the CAA is that of the glider enthusiasts. The University Glider Club, driven from Ann Arbor Airport by the increased needs of the flight training course, is seeking another field so that it can resume activities. Meanwhile 60 members of the Club are ground- ed. The Cassidy Lake Civil Conservation Corps Club of 40 fliers has also been forced to evacu- ate its-quarters. - UNFORESEEN defects like these are certain to follow the launching of any set-up as complicated as the CAA program. An investiga- tion of the difficulties which have appeared 'should suggest methods of adjustment. However, there is a recent attack on the CAA which lies beyond mere mechanical adjustment and which threatens the base on which the Authority rests. It is the old states' rights jeal- ousies brought up to date. The complaint, ac- companied by -'the usual hackneyed arguments, was expressed at a recent meeting of the Nation- al Association of Aviation officers in New Orleans. Charging that members of the Authority had interpreted the Act to suit themselves, the offi- cials challenged the CAA's "exclusive jurisdic- TE MICHIGAN D A men, demanding that the CAA act be amended unless the CAA cooperate more fully in permit- ting the states to have a part in administering the act. It seems improbable that the aeronautical states' rightists. can. gain much support. Avia- tion is a nation wide industry and should be nationally administered. The most rational step that states' rightists can make today is to try to bring some cohesion into their ridicu- lously dissimilar laws (48 different divorce laws; 48 different tax rates) instead of clamor- ing for fresh disorganization. -Hervie Haufler Honor System For Literary College? . . T HE ENQINEERING honor system, at once an idealistic and a practical undertaking, has been functioning successfully in the engineering college for 23 years, yet in the literary college, a few steps across the campus, the battle between student ingenuity and the professors' eagle-eye continues in the best grade school tradition. That the system is a success has been attested both by faculty and students in the engineer- ing college. Some dishonesty, they admit, exists in the lower classes, but among the seniors and juniors, a deeper appreciation of the honor code becomes evident. Honesty, rather than dis- honesty, is taken for granted. OPPONENTS to the system point out that the engineer, as a future professional man, is necessarily more .concerned with ethics than is the "typical lit" who is matriculating for the benefit of the "broadening influence" derived from whatever "pipe" courses can be worked into his -schedule. The engineer, they point out, will depend directly upon what he has learned for his future source of income: he is after knowl- edge, not merely the passing grade. That we have students enrolled with the idea of "diploma or bust" cannot be denied, but the number of students with this attitude has been rapidly- declining in recent years. The college sheep-skin is no longer an open sesame to a highly-paid position after graduation: the pros- pective employer demands actual knowledge; he has to be shown. The graduate's credentials are no longer sufficient; he must demonstrate his abilities. That the adoption of an honor system would increase cheating on examinations is very doubt- ful. The instructors are alert, but cribbing on exams is an accepted fact. The general student attitude, deplorable as it sounds, has degenerated to the. point where cribbing on exams is con- sidered a game to be played by students on the one side and the instructors on the other. UNDER an honor system, on the other hand, the qc estion of honesty is entirely in the hands of the student body. It no longer becomes a game; rather, the student is put in a position where his honor and self-respect are at stake. Naturally ,the problem arises as to the change of attitude necessary among the students to affect the transfer to the honor system. That this is not impossible was demonstrated by the engineering college 23 years ago. But as then, the. impetus and initiative for such a change must arise from the student body. If that stu- dent body shows enough concern over the situ- ation to affect the transfer and is sincere in its purpose, the system will undoubtedly succeed. -Karl Kessler Drew Pearso,, ad RobertS.AlleR WASHINGTON-The attempt to transfer eight United States Lines vessels to the Panama flag is now a closed book, but there are two significant incidents which have not yet leaked out. One was the fact that Panama her- self took a very decided stand against permitting the ships to fly her flag. Panama made it quite clear that transfer of the ships was likely to get her snarled up with Germany, and that her neutrality status must be similar to -that of the United States. If the United States could not risk sending these vessels into the war zone, Panama said that she did not wanif to do so. This clinched the argument within the Administra- tion. The other unrevealed incident was the fact that Cordell Hull, who later fought the transfer, actually had OK'd it, and in writing. His letter is still in the hands of the Martime Commission. - What happened was that Admiral Land, chairman of the Commission, telephoned the Secretary of State at 4:30 on the afternoon before the Commission put out its own favor- able statement. Hull read his letter over the telephone and -later mailed it. Having received this State De- partment OK, the Maritime Com- mission proceeded to approve the transfer. However, it turned out later that Mr. Hull had not thoroughly under- stood the proposal, or else it was not carefully explained to him. Some of Hull's assistants go so far as to say that the Martime Commission was deliberately deceptive. At any rate, Mr. Hull changed his mind. Perhaps it was the emphatic posi- tion taken by Panama which.helped to change it. Evidence'of their aggressiveness was Mead's introduction of a new billl during the last days of the special session, after an unpubli- cized meeting with little business leaders. It would create an indus- trial loan corporation, financed by the Government and operated by the Federal Reserve. AS OTHERS1 To the Editor: Deep, resentment has been burning in my breast for a long time and, although this .same subject was the object of much disputation last year, after an incident which happened yesterday, I feel that Ican no longer restrain from doing what I can abo'ut the situation.1 That incident was the case of a friend of mine who was hurt whilei wrestling at the IM building. He in- jured his neck somehow, and wentr over to the Health Service immedi- ately. It was about five mirutes after five, and all the technicians had gone home. The doctor diagnosed the case as skillfully as he could without the help of an X-ray. Then he sent the fellow to bed and, made him, lie in one position all night so that his head, would not move . This was to prevent the movement of any vertebrae that might have fractured. Mind ° you, the doctor did not know what the matter was.- The first X-ray was taken this morn-1 ing. As a result, my friend spent a sleepless and painful night in bed without knowing anything about1 what had happened to him and without the consolation that the doctor knew. This is just one instance that I know of the many that have hap-, pened. I know of others who have suffered the same inefficient. treat- ment at the hands of this incom- petent institution.} The Health Service is here as a protection for the students of the University. Therefore, why not make it so? We pay our tuition, and part of that goes to cover expenses for1 treatments. Yet we are told to sit down and wait; we are forced to rely on what is in nine cases out of every ten a very unreliable diagnosis; if put in for treatment and care, we; are given no attention whatsoever and are fed a very poor substitute for the kind of food an invalid should get. -Thomas Goodkind, '42Lit. to be very interesting.

IT'S a funny world. Gulliver used to have a roommate who was an engineer. Even more surprising than this, however, is the fact that Harold was no ordin- ary engineer. He knew a lot about music (long- hair stuff and jazz), he played several instru- ments, he knew Joyce and Mann and all the modern poets. Altogether an unusual guy. Gulliver and Harold had a lot of big times together. A couple of years ago they had an apartment. In the apartment were Gulliver, Harold, a studio couch, a couple hundred books, 87 empty beer bottles, a sink full of dishes, and a radio. The latter used to run steadily from 8 p.m. until the following morning, because at 2:30 a.m. Roy Eldridge was on from Chicago, and after that you could catch the Dawn Patrol over CKLW until 4. After 4 it was too cold to get up and turn the thing off, so it would run flntil somebody woke up next morning and threw a book at it. The beer empties were Harold's idea. You get a two cent refund on every bottle, and Gulli- ver's roommate got the clever idea of saving up enough to be able to take the plane home for Christmas. He had everything neatly com- puted-1,200 empties would buy two plane tic- kets. At one time the apartment held 87, but by that time most of the bottles were sprouting mould and Gulliver and Harold were losing their taste for beer. Besides going to college from time to time, listening to the radio, playing lousy clarinet- flute duets, and working, Gulliver and Harold used to hold extended bull sessions. The one that sticks most clearly in Y.G.'s memory is one that took place in September, 1938. 'T WAS the time of the Munich crisis, and everybody was pretty sure that there was going to be a war. It was a tense evening: io- body brought up sex or religion. Everything was strictly the coming war. The boys got to dis- cussing their chances of staying alive for the net few ves .nd evervnv was:a -red that
