gets under way tomorrow evening;
in Hill Auditorium the audience will realize not
only that it is about to enjoy an hour of the
horse sense and horse laughs that gave that
program No. 2 slot in the popularity listing of
radio features but that, by its presence there, it
-is aiding an. activity of accredited merit.
Proceeds of the show, its sponsor, the Univer-
sity Alumnae Association, has announced, will
go toward establishment of a women's coopera-
tive residence on campus.
We who feel that any activity directed to-
ward democratization of education - as the
establishment of a low-cost cooperative resi-
dence for women surely is-extend our thanks
and, we are sure, that of the campus, to the
Alumnae Association for making possible an
entertaining evening for us tomorrow, and com-
fortable, low-cost diving quarters for many wom-
en in years to come.

By ELLIOTT MARANISS
THE EDITORIAL PAGE of The Daily this year
has consistently been open to the opinions of
both the members of the staff and students and
faculty. It has been a forum in which the widely
divergent opinions to be found on a campus of
this size have found untrammeled representation.
We exercise no censorship of any sort: we have
as a matter of fact followed this principle so
scrupulously that many of the letters we have
published have contained harmful and vicious
attacks on the characters of the editors.
Recently we published some letters from our
readers which contained serious slanders on the
personality and affiliations of the writer. I am
interested here neither in the motives and conse-
quences of such unethical and un-democratic
attacks, nor in using these columns to answer
them once again. That they represent practices
which are fraught with danger should be ap-
parent to all. I am deeply interested, however,
in -the attack upon the only organization to
which I am affiliated because it is also an at-
tack upon the other 140 Michigan students and
the 22,000 students on other college campuses
who belong to the group. For the American
Student Union is charged with the greatest re-
sponsibility since its founding in 1935. Upon
it has devolved the duty of organizing student
America for peace at a time when the American
government is becoming :more and more en-
tangled in the drive toward a spread of the sec-
ond world war. From the very beginning the
American Student Union has organized and led
the student body in opposition to war and mili-
tarism. Now it is face to face with the danger
against which we have been working these many
years. It is proud that in this historic moment
it took its stand unequivocally against this war,
and that through its efforts thousands of stu-
dents have been helped to clear away the web
of false propaganda and war hysteria, to join
with it in the fight to preserve our peace and
bring the imperialist war to a speedy conclusion.
HE AMERICAN STUDENT' UNION is well
aware that the resolutions adopted at the
Madison convention might be misunderstood by
some and attacked by others as "sheer com-
munism," as evidence of attempts to "transform
the ASU into a narrow sect." It expected these
vituperations from reactionaries who called the
ASU "red" when it labled the war in Europe as
an "imperialist war," when it supported the
Spanish people in their struggle when it defended
labor's right to collective bargaining and a fair
share in American life. If the American Student
Union had ever oriented its policies so as to
meet the approval of Representative Dies it
* would never have been able to organize the stu-
dents around its program of bringing forth in
this country the full fruit of its potentialities, to
:make it a land of plenty, security and equality
for all-and above all, a land of peace.
ONE OF THE MANY sources of confusion on
the part of many students concerning the
present activities of the American Student Union
has been the shamefully garbled newspaper re-
ports and interpretations of the recent national
convention. This writer attended and partici-
pated in that convention: and the following ac-
count can be checked with the printed proceed-
ings.
There are of course differing political creeds
and social philosophies within the American Stu-
dent Union. But at the Madison conventon, as
in the local chapter, there was complete unity
on this point: that we must center all our activi-
ties around the urgent task of effectively or-
ganizing student America for peace. One of
.the most important jobs confronting the dele-
gates was the drafting of a peace resolution.
They began with the unanimous decision that
aur concern was the peace ofthe United States,
and that they would evaluate every -lank in
the peace program with that fact uppermost in
their minds, asking themselves what each spe-
cific proposal contributes to American peace.
This was an important decision: it led both.
to the creation of a realistic program, and to
the heated antagonism of the war-makers who
realized that upon such a basis the American
Student Union would fashion an effective, united
organization.

T HE DELEGATES agreed that the war of Eng-
land and France with Germany was due
to the past aggression of Germany and to the
policy of appeasement as practiced by the Cham-
berlain government. They agreed that the Unit-
ed States should not throw its economic or dip-
lomatic resources to either side, since such a
step would bring us closer to involvement in a
struggle of rival governments for economic and
colonial supremacy-a struggle which, with the
_policy of collective security we tried to prevent,
and in which we are resolved not to take part.
They agreed that the greatest danger to Ameri-
can peace is that we will falsely be persuaded
to engage with Chamberlain and Daladier in
an attempt ostensibly to defeat Hitler, or
that we will be persuaded with equal falseness
that Russian Bolshevism is a menace to Ameri-
can security in the Western Hemisphere, and
that our duty lies in submerging our own de-
mocracy in order to help other countries destroy
the Soviet Union. The delegates saw, as did our
local delegates that Finland was being held up
to us as a country to which the United States
might well send support, and that such support,
in conjunction with'British and French aid to
Finland and opposition to Russia, carried with
it grave danger of our participaton wth the Alles.
in their forthcoming holy crusade. They agreed
that the United States should have kept its air-

planes on its own soil, that the United States
should have kept the 10 million dollars it sent
to Finland to feed its own citizens in Cleveland,
or to keep the schools open in Toledo, or to put
the crippled children in Michigan back in the
hospitals.
THERE WAS ONE POINT, however, on which
the delegates had no unanimous opinion to
offer: the question of the Soviet move into Fin-
land. Some delegates thought that the evidence
indicating that England was planning an anti-
Soviet war was conclusive, and that the Russian
government was therefore justified in taking the
initiative to prevent a repetition of the wars of
intervention of 1919-1921. Other delegates, on
the other hand, felt that Finland was the vic-
tim of unprovoked aggression, and that the
American Student Union should condemn Rus-
sia as an aggressor, and adopt the attitude, to-
ward Finland which it endorsed for the victims
of fascist aggression. Both these points of
view were expounded at great length. As the,
discussion proceeded it became clear that neith-
er extreme could possibly lay the basis for the
unity of the American Student Union in its at-
tempt to organize the peace movement on the
Americancampuses.
THE EDITOR
GETS TOLD . . -
To The Editor:
We should like to offer our opinion that the
ideas you set forth against the embargo of war
materials to Japan in your editorial entitled
"Renewal of Japanese Trade Agreement" is not
reasonable nor well-founded on facts. To re-
fute the arguments you advanced against the
embargo, however, is to exert an extraordinary
amount of callous dollar-and-cents reasoning
and completely overlook the humanitarian side
'which you never mentioned, namely the plight of
60 millions of peace-loving people who are
doomed to suffer and die on a scale incomparable
with any period of world history if Japal is to
continue her aggression with American ma-
terials. One must overlook too the ethical side,
namely that the U.S. was bound in good faith
to assist China long before this by such treaties
as the Nine-Power Washington Treaty. How-
ever, let us look only, as you would have us, at
the "hard (icy) facts," brought forward in your
editorial.
(1) The great big Russian bogey-bear is again
walked out on the stage. It only takes a little
extended and more logical imagination to realize
that the mere matter of stopping shipment of
war materials to Japan is not going to leave
Russia the dominant power in the Far East. On
the contrary, the ultimate result will be to save
Japan from self-destruction and complete im-
potence, so that she may become a stable and
progressive nation of the future, able to hold her
own in a nobler manner in the Far East. Aside
from this consideration, is it not fallacious rea-
soning to suppose that, given two great evils,
it is more advisable to perpetuate both than to
eliminate one while the opportunity is at hand?
Again, is it logical to suppose that Russia and
Japan should form a military accord? Hardly.
the Nazi-Soviet strategic pact cannot be drawn
as a parallel. Russia has been a traditional
enemy of Japan since her humiliating defeat
by the latter in 1905. The enmity arises then
not only out of a clash of economic interests.
Another European parallel, however, could be1
drawn more logically-the sequence of events
which led to the present conflict since Britain
began submitting to Nazi aggression (and feed-
ing the Nazi war machine meanwhile) early in
the rise of Hitlerism. America must not commit
the same dangerous mistake.
(2) It is suggested that Japan will be provoked
by an embargo to extend aggression in the Pa-
cific area, including the Philippines. It would
seem very logical reasoning to consider that,
since Japan already has her hands more than
full in'China she would not be over-anxious, mil-.
itary hot-heads though she has, to extend op-
erations without the all-important supply of
riunitions from the U.S. Furthermore, how big
a bogey-man is Japan that the U.S. should needj

to fear military reprisals from her just because
this country refuses to sell her American goods?
"A more powerful Japan in the East Indies
means a stronger Japanese influence on this
country." That is precisely the reason why such
a :menace must be wiped out before it assumes
uncontrollable proportions. For is not China'
Japan's first important step towards Pacific
hegemony and world hegemony. (Witness
Tanaka's notorious memorandum of Japanese
policy, 1927.) It is our duty to stem this appal-
ling danger at the earliest possible moment. In-
directly, we will also aid the suffering people of
China.
(3) "Our trade with Manchukuo has actually,
been larger than it had been with Manchuria.",
Speaking recently before the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee, Secretary Hull reminded his
hearers that our larger trade with Manchukuo is
exclusively the expanded "blood trade" of war
materials for the Japanese war machine. If you
do not choose to indict this as a most undesirable
form of international trade, then you will be
glad to know that Japanese agents are even to-
day negotiating with some of America's greatest
business interests for further loans and "invest-
ments" (for factories for war supplies) in Man-
churia. It is a myopic policy on the part of the
American people to accept this situation without

RECENTLY, an elderly gent 'who is
plenty shrewd told Mr. Q. the
only way to alleviate the many
troubles of the world was to burn
down all the schools. Despite the
popularity of such a scheme at this
particular time, it was a rather
strange suggestion and the old man
was pressed for an explanation. He
pointed to al the wars and poverty
and misery and the intolerance: ra-
cial, social -and economical, and he
said if this is where education gets
us, well, it was. an utter failure and
the only thing to do was to scrap it
and figure out some new way.
Now, of course, the old man's argu-
ments weren't at all valid and he
didn't have much of a point, but
what he said made Mr. Q. think
pretty hard about the whole busi-
ness. And now, as the Senate of the
United States is in the process of
discussing one of the greatest social
outrages in the history of the world,
the suggestion was vividly recalled.
And Mr. Q. can't help but wonder
as all the wails and cries go up to
help the poor little Finns that maybe
the old gent was on - right track.
Maybe.we are too damn educated
and civilized. Maybe the average
'evel of man just can't keep up with
,he terrific technological advance-
mentsthat have been'thrust upon
him by the minute group of great
minds that have perpetrated the
majority of our civilizing elements.
laybe: it's a possibility.
MUST LOOK at this Finnish situa-
' tion for a minute. E9en consid-
ring the fact that Finland has been
njustly invaded and is the victim
f unwarranted aggression, there can
'e no possibly justification for the
Jnited States loaning anywhere from
'0 to 60 =millions for relief. No justi-
'ication, whatsoever. So the Finnish
)eople are in desperate need; so they
ire a peace-l6ving people who have
always paid their war-debts; so they
,re fighting brilliantly, valiantly,
ourageously, boldly, bravely, and
iny other way they may be fighting.
1ll this may be perfectly true and we
nay be justly sympathetic. They
ire to be pitied. But they are not to
le relieved at the expense of millions
if American families who need the
tid much more than they do. All
'ight, so America's starving millions"
-re not being bombed or invaded.
3ut they are starving and they need
elp. They are ill-clothed and housed
mnd fed and they must have aid. If
he government of the United States
gnores the plight of these people and
)orrows money to be loaned to an
utside nation, it must be regarded
-s a condemnation of our govern-
mental system. And we must tell
he 40 million people in this nation
vho need help, whether it be in the
orm of relief, social reform, or job-
reation that their government can't
lo anything -.for -them because they
are too busy helping a few hundred
'housand war victims.
This whole thing just doesn't make
sense. What happened to the Neu-
trality Act that was made a law a
tort while back? Isn't there an ex-
olicit statute forbidding sending aid
to any warring nation? .Wasn't it
snacted to make the United States
absolutely non-partial and to insure
us from becominginvolved?'nThen
where. does all .this excitement ome,
because of the Finns? Aren't they,
at war? It just doesn't make sense.
AND MR.a HERBERT HOOVER.
There's-a real character. All of
a sudden he becomes a humanitarian.
All of a sudden he feels the need to
°ome to the aid of suffering peoples.1
Why didn't this great humanitarian
organize committees to help the mil-
lions. of Chinese. Why didn't this
benevolent man start a drive to help
'he tortuved Spanish? Further, and
much 'more important, why didn't
,his great benefactor think about the;
millions of Americans who were look-
ng for a chicken in the pot, or even'
a piece of bread, when he was in the,
White House? Mr. Herbert Hoover

never drew a progressive or a hu-
manitarian breath in his life. And
now all of a sudden he 'blossoms out
nto mankind's friend. If Mr. Herbert
Hoover will contact Mr. Q. immedi-
ately, he will give him a long list of
sections of the United States wherey
people are worse off than the Finns
and who could well use the "surplus"
foodstuffs that he proposes we send,
abroad. If Mr. Hoover would justl
look over his well-filled stomach he.
could see the possibilities for helping
humanity to his heart's content.
ALL THE AMERICAN people are
asking for is a decent way of
life. They did not elect a president
who would chop millions off relief
and work projects so that 'it and mil-
lions more mightsbe added to war de-
fense. They did not select public
servants - yes, Mr. Congressman,.
that's what you are: a public servant;
did you forget?-to loan the income'
from their taxes out of the country.
They did not elect a Congress that
would have no other thought in mind
at this perilous time but to build it-
self up for the coming election. And
they dlid not elect a President Mr.

THE OPEN HOUSE held by the Mich-
igan Wolverine Cooperative. last
Sunday evening was, according to all reports,
a success. Approximately 1,200 guests were
there-and enjoyed themselves thoroughly. More
important, however, the affair was attended by
1,200 people.
The fact that about 10 per cent of all the stu--
dents at the University were interested enough
in cooperatives to drag themselves from studying
and beer-drinking seems to be a rather good sign.
1,200 people-most of the students-were
moved either by curiosity or honest interest in
the cooperative to stop in and look it over.
The cooperative movement today is a very,
significant development on the American scene,
if one may be permitted to judge its importance
by number of people affected or likely to be af-
fected. Cooperative farms, factories, entire com-
munities have been tried, many of them operat-
ing with surprising success. The most outstand-
ing example of the successful cooperative, how-
ever, is generally to be found in operation as
part of student life in a college town.
Students are proverbially "broke," "brokeness"
being actual in many cases and fashionable in
others. Many students, it is widely known, have
genuine difficulty in providing themselves with
necessities of life while attending college-work
is not always easy to find, nor easy to fit into
a schedule of classes, nor altays.adequately paid.
And at the same time living expenses for nearly
all students in nearly all college towns are no-
toriously high. The solution to the problem thus
presented-at least the solution which seems
most practicable and likely of success-is the
cooperative rooming house and restaurant.
The value of the cooperative in aiding students
to meet the necessary expenses of their college
existences can scarcely be overemphasized.
Through education-and almost through educa ,,
tion alone-will it be found possible to keep alive
the principles of democracy and justice which
make life in this country what it is today. It
will also be found that student opinion can be
