The WarSphrit' And The Road To Peace,... s UT THERE IS inherent in them a passion for obedience and for leaders, especially, leaders wh'o will tell them it is"right and just to kill children abroad and torture Jews at home." This rather common, yet dangerously un- thiilkinig conception of the German character as expressed by Henry G. Leach in a recent issue of Forum, is the type of broad statement of suspiicion and 'resulting hate that unconsciously breeds that -"war spirit" which must so inevit- ablybring the end of our peace. Such a statement, in the first place, has little basis in fact. Though it is quite true that cer- tain nations do have special characteristics in greater degree than others, those characteris- tics are not inherent; they are rather bred into a nation by its experience and history. When a nation Nis torn by internal economic upheaval and external foreign persecution, it is almost inevitable that a strong leader will arise and be hailed as a "saviour". When prosperity and security are present, when the nation's people have been educated and trained in the ideal of democracy, democracy is inevitable. Democ- racy, in.that light, cannot be an inherent tend- ency of a people. LEACH'S essay continues with the inference that it would not be a too unhappy state of affairs if all Germany could be entirely de- stroyed (a viewpoint which contrasts strikingly with the German idea that all non-Germans should be destroyed). But, Leach claims: "It is doubtful if even America with all. her strength could ever perform the task." "Therefore," he concludes, "the Germans will never be exter- minated, and in that case it would be futile for America to go to war in the hope of saving democracy." Thus does Leach express a desire for peace which every American will echo. Yet, wittingly, or not, he has already helped to defeat his hope. America did not enter the last war in order to "lick the Germans." The United States entered the war because it thought that the Germans, ' as a people,' were incapable of democratic thought, that they were barbarous "Huns" who loved fighting and destruction. "For two thou- sand years the Germans have been tearing up the boundaries and upsetting the peace of Eur- ope," says Leach. Leach, infers that German nature, not the ambitions of kings of all coun- tries and the general barbarism of the middle ages was responsible. SUCH propaganda is certainly the type that sends the most tolerant people on the road to hate, inevitably leading to the road to war. If we are really sincere in our desire for peace, we must learn that it is war and hunger and greed and hate that are the causes of war, not the "nature' of the warring nations. We must learn that the Germans, too, if given the fair chance of peace and security and good govern- ment would sincerely "be kind to Jews at home and children abroad." If we can understand and appreciate these precepts we will have taken a long step ahead on the road to peace, per- manent peace. -Jean Goldstick m An otherwise absurd saying, now sweeping the country, will soon cause abundant political writings.

The edict has gone out from the faculty and now awaits the decree of the court of last resort. The idea is all right and we believe that most of the students on the campus are in favor of it. But to amake it a success we must improve on the methods in which it is handled in some of the institutions of our acquaintance. This means that the board which passes on excuses from training must be made up of stiff-back1 'individuals supported by a hard and fast list of rules. It means further that the commandant cannot tolerate peanut eating and gum chewing in the ranks. We have compiled and sent out a question- aire in hopes of getting the nation-wide student opinion as to the merits and demerits of the plan. When these results are tabulated we may have some interesting results to lay before our readers. ART By MARY MSHERRY If it did not sound too much like Pollyanna, we should be tempted to say that even the Euro- pean war offers a compensating side in making possible the continued stay of the European paintings from the two fairs here in America. At any rate, it is something to be thankful for and discreetly overlook the cause, for the col- lection now on exhibit at the Detroit Institute of Art is really a once-in-a-lifetime show! Approaching the exhibit from a systematic line, it is possible to study any number of artis- tic problems or simply any number of artists. Rembrandt is well represented, five of his paint-j ings illustrating three of his periods being hung in the first room. Of these the most powerful and the one most likely to catch popular atten- tion through its subject matter is one of his self portraits. Thickly painted and lighted with the typical burst-through-dusk we find in his later works, it expresses a lack of joy, a simple ac- ceptance of the bitter with the sweet that is par- ticularly gripping. Rubens, too, has three of his works on display, all with his women like pillars and his pillars like women; all, too, with real movement and genuine flesh. In the second room we find Hans Memling's "Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian" whose colors are of a clearness almost impossible and whose detail is almost miraculous. Beside it rests Van Der Goes' sincere and hoy "Virgin and Child with St. Anne and a Monk," one of the few virgin and child pictures whose child might actually grow up to save the world from sin and whose vir- gin has certainly looked deep into another world. MUSIC By RICHARD BENNETT Most of us have long listened to the New York Philharmonic Orchestra over the radio during the past few years, btt few have had the pleasure of watchingMr. Babirolli conduct. As a natur- al result of this most of our attention was direct- ed toward the conductor, at least during the first half of the performance. Mr. Barbirolli is indeed a fascinating musi- cian. He conducts with an almost mathematical feeling for phrase length and with a strong sense of the build-up necessary to have a climax ring true. Not once during the course of the evening's concert did this sense of climax play him false. No wonder that Mr. Weinberger was deeply impressed upon hearing a portion of his opera Schwanda under the leadership of Mr. Barbirolli and decided "on the spot that he had found the ideal orchestra and the ideal con- ductor for his new work." There are no false colorings, no tricks, in Mr. Barbirolli's interpre- tations. As a conductor he reminds us of Sergei Rachmaninoff as a pianist. Clear, concise, and uncompromisingly exact, he is indeed a conduc- tor any composer would be honored in having his works performed under. The overture "The Roman Carnival" of Ber- lioz did not seem particularly striking, either in its dialogue of themes or flashy orchestration at the close. We should far rather have heard a more sophisticated work, at least structurally. There is too great a store of richer music that is at the same time "light" enough and interest- ing enough that it should not be necessary to resort to that sort of thing. The Elgar composition was, on the other hand, a noble work, of sophisticated (using that word always in its best sense) form, composed of a wealth of thoroughly musical thematic material. It is a work of no mean proportion, resting on a well-written counterpoint, and employing a number of different contrasting moods. The sudden turning from one mood to another saved it from the too-watery harmonies that Elgar wap so often unable to escape. In spite of the tend- ency toward academism in the fugato passage Elgar's fine feeling for the holding value of sequence sustained it. And there was one not- able quality of the composition that stood out above all others-its sincerity. That was what Elgar always strove for, complete honesty of. musical thought. He did attain it. The program notes of Jaromir Weinberger on his Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree are almost as interesting to read as the composition GULLIVER'S CAVILS By YOUNG GULLIVER THE one and only Gulliver (one-count him- one) went tearing off to Detroit Sunday to grab off a little extra culture through the cour,- tesy of the Detroit Institute of Arts. For two bits you can get into the room where the New York World's Fair exhibit of Dutch and Flemish Old Masters is hung. After you get into the room, you're on your own. On Sun- day afternoon there were, at a rough guess, a thousand people jammed into a room built to hold a hundred. What made it especially tough was that most of the thousand were dowager! ladies, who are notorious for taking up too much room. It is true that things were made much easier for Gulliver because he was with Earle Luby, who still weighs two hundred and twenty pounds, and who hasn't forgotten how to open a hole right through the middle. Even so, it was no easy job to get right up to the pictures without losing all the buttons off your vest. Once you! got-there you found yourself face to face with a detailin the lower right hand corner of the painting. When you managed to get your head about six inches back from the picture and wiped the paint off your nose, you were free to con-! centrate on the commnts of the ladies who sur-! rounded you. The chatter of the younger set ran something like this: "Notice the purity of line in this. Steen was of course a master of such and such." (This one came straight out of the catalogue which cost you another two bits). The girls who had been to college and knew their Art41 could sigh with assurance, "Ah, such chiaroscuro!" and the older ones concentrated on trying to find out where in heaven's name the forget-me-nots were in the Madonna And Child With Forget-Me-Nots. ALL in all, it was a trying time for real honest to God art lovers like Luby and Young Gul- liver. If you go in to see the exhibit, and you! really want to get a good look at, say, Bosch's terrific Temptation Of Saint Anthony, Gulliver' stands ready with a few suggestions: (1) Wait until they lock up and then sneak in. This one is tough, but worth the trouble. (2) Bring a periscope. Lie flat on your back on the floor and practice 'until you can sight the desired painting at a moment's notice. (3) Bring a ladder. Anyway, as Luby said, it wasn't the crowd that was remarkable, it was the fact that the pictures ever got into Detroit. But there they are, and you owe it to yourself to go in and see them before Dies makes a bonfire out of all unAmerican art. THE EDITOR GETS TOLD ,** To the Editor: I am very much pleased with Gulliver's reply to my cavils! In tone and temper, in courtesy and dignity, it is so much superior to his original article that provoked my strictures that I am set wondering whether or not there are two Gulli- vers, just as the higher critics have discovered two Isaiahs (query-thesis for a Ph.D.?). If so, I hope that -there are also two Maranisses and two Petersens, and that we shall have in the future more editorials outlining plans for per- manent peace and world reconstruction and fewer frantic appeals to cut off trade, to cut off sympathy, from the wicked Old World. If, as is very possible, I have been unjust in not seeing through tiese superficial Boake Car- terisms to the latent internationalism beneath, there has been excuse for my error. How could I guess that Gulliver, for example, was a Well- sian when he spoke of "that Wellsian never- never world nonsense"? How could I guess that those who wanted no trade at all in wartime were really working for a future of universal free trade in peace? But if my remarks were completely beside. the point, so much the better. We can now fight side by side instead of face to face. There are still some minor points of ambiguity. For example, I do not know quite what an "elder statesman" is. I presume it to mean any poli- tician over fifty. If so, Wilson was one, and so were nearly all of his Senatorial foes. The young students martyred in Prague were avowed disciples of the elder statesman Masaryk. As for Lippmann, he is at present some de- grees more conservative than I am on sundry domestic questions, but as a "fellow traveller" (to quote our late Communist friends) toward peace I would not altogether refuse him a hand. I dislike all imperialism, but if there is any it. had better be international than national, so as to cut out colonial wars. I confess I do not know just what Lippmann meant by "corporations of some sort in which all may own shares and par- ticipate in the management;" it does not sound like an ordinary private company and may bN some vague hint at any international Board of Control to prevent exactly the sort of exploita- tion of native labor to which Gulliver rightly objects. I shall wait till Lippmann clears up this ambiguity before passing any comment on his rather nebulous scheme. The most important question which seems to divide the New Gulliver from myself is as to whether any "cooperation is possible, even after peace, with Britain and France. From my close- up study of those countries I am convinced that there is as -much danger to world peace 'from It Seems To Me By Heywood Broun DAI LY OFF IC If I am ever a college president, which seems most unlikely at the moment, I would make Tim Mara an honorary doctor of something or (continued from Page 2) other.

"I was sent to talk to a backs named Bradlee before the Yalea game," he said. "He was a good player, but somehow he just seemed to lack that last element of fighting, pitch. I was supposed to arouse him. It wasn't an easy job, because I didn't know him at all, but after we talked for a few minutes I found that he had a brother in Nahant,t Mass., my own town. And so l worked on that. "I told him, 'When you get out there tomorrow against the Elis youx don't want your brother in Nahant1 or my brother in Nahant to be ashamed of you.' Finally he began to cry, and so I knew I'd done thet trick, and I said goodby and that I hoped he'd have a good night's rest. But when he showed up on the field the next day just before the game he was still crying. The college doc- tor wasn't going to let him play, andr so I had to walk up and down the sidelines and unwind him. "I had to take it all back. 'For- get about Nahant,' I told him. 'To hell with Nahant! As a matter of( fact, my brother lives in Lynn." But he got in there. and played a whale of a game. I guess I didn't know1 my own strength."

There is an enormous amount of genuine internationalist and pacifist sentiment in both Britain and France, and even the fatal "appease- ment" policy had much more sheer pacifism in it than pro-fascism or anti-communism. Since 1930, at all events, all the sins and errors of Anglo-French diplomacy have been those of feebleness rather than those of ruthlessness. It is not impossible, I fear, that at the end of the war the British and French may be willing to go further in building a world federation than the average American. I still think we would be living in a better world if we had followed the Wilson path' rather than the Borah -road in 1919. Dr. N. H.
