(Editor's Note: With an aim of promoting a closer
friendship between the campus and the people of
the state, and to provide an occasional adult point
of view on the editorial page, The Daily has soli-
cited guest editorials from several newspapermen
in Michigan. The following article, first in a series,
is contributed by Walter C. Hawes, Edtor of the
Berrien County "Record," Buchanan, Mich.)
By WALTER C. HAWES
TO THIS WRITER has been extended the
privilege and the responsibility of address-
ing the students of the University of Michigan
in a guest editorial in their daily paper.
It would seem, on the face of the record, that
one of the older generation is hardly justified
in being pontifical or didactic in addressing that
generation whose burden it will be to carry the
rather flickering torch we will hand them.
A FAVORITE TAG to label youth with is that
of "irresponsibility." About all that can be
said on that score, in our opinion, is that youtl
will have to achieve more responsibility than
we have ever had-or else. It is the tragedy of
the world that every once in a while a genera-
tion of youth is asked to be responsible for too
much.
But with those who cling to the hope that a
saner and happier world can be arranged the
hope persists that in some way your generation
can achieve a more responsible society at home
and can cooperate in the achievement of a more
responsible world. We are not in a position tQ
lecture you, but a little wistful pleading may
not be amiss.
WE ARE IN FULL SYMPATHY with the posi-

4Iay Day,
1941...

AT 11 o'clock this morning, students in
the University will gather in Felch
Park to protest against this country's involve-
'ient in war. On this May Day, 1941, they will at-
tempt to make heard the feeling of the student
against war. As representatives "of some of
Michigan's students, they will be adding their
voices to the others which have been heard
across America during the past week.
Aside from the address to be delivered here
Monday by Senator Burton K. Wheeler, this
will probably be the last chance of most of us
who attend college to act collectively as students
and to present the view of the student. And so
it is important that the result of this meeting
be the record for the country of at least one
group of students which doesn't believe that the
United States should go to wat. Soon after this
meeting, we split up, go home, perhaps go to
army camps. If we believe that democracy will
be best served by a country at peace, we must
speak for it now, while yet able.
THIS WRITER has not been a member of the
Peace, Council which is sponsoring the
strike, because he has felt that any program
that does not include all those democrats who
sincerely want peace is a futile program. But
now the holocaust is almost upon us, and any
cry for peace must be supported, for, soon,
things will explode and the opposition must be
heard, now. This May Day is important. Per-
haps it is the most important May Day of sour
lives.
ves -- Alvin Sarasohn
United Jewish Appeal
Goes 'All Out' .
N A PERIOD when 'all out' and
sacrifice' have acquired new force
and meaning, the United Jewish Appeal Drive
to aid destitute Jews all over the world is also
making an 'all out' drive to gain its 25 million
dollar national goal.
The UJA is an organization interested in 'of-
fering renewed hope, courage, and will to live
to millions of Jews throughout the world.' Since
the United States is the only community in the
world today where we can give freely of our own
volition, it is in this country then that these
funds must be collected.
BENEFITING from this collective fund are
three agencies, the National Refugee Serv-
ice to aid refugees in this cpntry, the Joint-
Distribution Committee to feed, clothe and
shelter thousands of refugees in war-torn Eur-
ope and the United Palestine Appeal to aid in
the building up of Palestine. These organiza-
tions are deserving of every penny they receive
for without funds it is impossible for them to
carry on with their work.
Where civilized values have been torn to
shreds and where suffering and degradation are
rampant, all over Europe, the Jews have been
singled out for especially harsh treatment. They
have been evicted from Austria and Germany
and other Nazi-dominated countries and have
been thrust into concentration camps and ghet-
tos, have been deprived of their homes, their

ther the old conception of peace as a laissez
faire, go-as-you-please condition is practicable.
We believe that Americans must work more posi-
tively for the conditions they want rather than
merely dig in their heels and balk against the
things they do not want. The peace of 1918-
1939 was an illusion; it never was a peace; it
would not be worth having back.
IF YOUTH wants to rail against war let it rail
-but let it also work courageously toward a
definition of a better society and toward a defi-
hition of the means of achieving it. We have
no right to ask to be spared the sacrifices of
war unless we are ready to make an all-out
sacrifice for a new and constructive peace, a
real peace, a peace from which the causes of
conflict are removed. But that is going to take
a lot of Socratic spade-work in definitions. And
that, youth of 1941, will be your job.
AND WE HOPE also that you will accept an
all-out responsibility, not only for the dura-
tion but afterward, for abating the miseries that
will persist. If you can in any considerable way
Jews from the Nazi countries but is prepared
and anxious to physically exterminate them
from the face of the earth.
Not by bread alone do men or peoples live and
these funds are to be used in training Jews for
vocations and to help them take their places as
equal citizens in the countries in which they live.
If these people who are literally at de'ath's door
are to be given a decent chance to live they
must have the money to help them. In addition
to maintaining body and soul for these sufferers
funds must be had for the rehabilitation and
reconstruction which must inevitably follow the
present chaos.
THE ANSWER to this plea is always 'but what
good will my bit do? It isn't solving the
problem.' It is this deplorable attitude that is
true in every effort to better world conditions.
People are too anxious, too hasty in their desire
for immediate overwhelming results, which can
only be achieved through an evolutionary proc-
ess. In the meantime if but one person has been
rescued from his precarious position, the effort
will have been worthwhile for human life can-
not be appraised in dollars and cents. Our task
is to save just as many people as we can.
These people are desperate, so desperate that
on the chance of finding someone in the United
States who will help them, they will write to a
person whose name is the same as theirs, having
found it in an American telephone book and ask
for an affidavit allowing them to come to this
country. If this one slim opportunity is real-
ized it is through the United Jewish appeal and
its agencies that the actual process is made
possible.
r THE ONE RAY OF HOPE left to those home-
less thousands is then in the affiliated agen-
cies of the ;UJA. Whether these unfortunates
are forced to remain in Europe, or allowed to
come to this country or are transported to Pal-
estine, they know that as long as human nature
exists they have a chance.

'Nicely Furnished House' -

aid in abating the miseries, you will help to'
abate the hates which, if unabated, will inevi-
tably lead to a renewal of the conflict. It were
better that you went clad in denim and lived
on hog and hominy which you shared with the
victims than that you shrugged your shoulders
and turned your backs. Any isolationism that
will impel you to do the latter will be con-
temptible.
YOUR ELDERS may say what they will about
youth, but we have more confidence in you
than in them. We believe that, with us as a
horrible example to profit from, you will mature
into a more responsible and more sensible gen-
eration. And yet the question arises: will you
be responsible and sensible enough? Your as-
signment will be a tough one.
A last word. Whether or not any of you fight
in a real war, it is our hope that all of you will
not cease to fight against that paralysis of the
spirit that even a militarized peace can bring
and against the cynical disillusionment that
follows armed conflict. The physical war will
end somehow, the spiritual war .must not.
The Reply Churlish
by TOUCHSTONE
N THE MIDST OF SPRING and lazy weather,
a terrific tension coming over me, and don't
quite know what is the matter. Freud may have
an answer, but I'm pretty sure that's not all.
As to escaping this feeling, writing it down here
is about the only course possible for me, because
I don't know where I can go or what I can do to
really escape from something inside my shead.
So to use the formal phrase, I crave your in-
dulgence, until I get it out of my system. It's a
feeling that I'm being very overworked, without
any working on my part to justify said feeling.
I have noticed this trait in lots of people around
here, and somehow I'd like very much to find
out about even more cases, on a basis of com-
panionship alone.
The form this tension takes in my case is a
terrific impatience with cant and jingoism, and
with certain kinds of people. I also have times
when I hate or doubt myself, which are con-
siderably worse than not liking others. Now
this emotional approach to the every day rela-
tionships in the world may be a pure and sincere
thing, but it doesn't get me or anybody else
anywhere. Realizing this, yet not being able to
control my temper, causes clashes with other
people which in turn react in such a way as to
give the process a cyclical nature, and when it
really gets working, it's pretty nasty though also
pretty funny to other, more stable people.
VOU GET so you keep hearing the radio in the
next room talking about the war, and play-
ing dance music and selling clothes right after
a bombing somewhere. People say things that
you have not the patience to break down, but
that are so wrong they make you afraid. Older
men suddenly become people who personally
are out to get you-which is not so-and younger
men are either more afraid of things than you
are, so that you must pity them rather than
yourself, or so lacking in understanding that
they cannot pity you. And to add to the mess, if
anybody dares to pity you, it makes you mad.
And under and through all this there runs the
conviction that you don't amount to much, and
that your problem is solely one of weakness, or
over-emotionalism. You don't know whether
to try to face the world as 'it is today, and try
by sheer discipline of your will to search for a
solution or a personal philosophy, or to abandon
the torment of never knowing anything for sure,
and try to hide in an ivory tower, planning
thingsno farther ahead than a week at the
outside.
I think the tendency to the -ivory tower has
become more marked recently, and I don't know
that I blame anyone for feeling like this. Cer-
tainly if a tower with any permanency of foun-
dation can be found, no one has the moral right
to invite the inhabitant to come out and fight or
face the world or something of that sort. And
an ivory tower does not hurt anyone. It looks
rather pretty. Recently there haven't been many
answers for people who liked reality, there is too

much to balance for most men to be able to
weigh and judge according to any previous
standards. I can't list all the decisions we of
today have to make, but just as a concrete ex-
ample, who can find the spot in history wherein
lies the responsibility for the present war? And
assuming that such a spot could be found-I do
not mean at Versailles or anything superficial
of that sort-are there any other considerations
of a moral nature which should figure in the
decisions we make? I only pose the question and
others like it for the present, and we'll take this
up at the next meeting. For now, so long until
soon.

ASDL And Democracy
To the Editor:
As always the thief cries "thief."
The ASDL with its skeleton student
group tells the campus that anyone
who strikes for peace is "consciously
or unconsciously for fascism." This
is the strike-breaking statement of
a small group whose program has;
been rejected by the overwhelming
number of students. The Campus
Peace Council has united hundreds
of students who stand foursquare for
peace and democracy. It is the ASDL
which offers the students fascism
and they cannot get around this by
yelling "fascist" at people who offer
the only program to defend the
American people from war and dic-
tatorship. The program for war
which the ASDL offers is already
weakening democracy at home and
will, if not checked, bring total fas-
cism and war dictatorship to the
American people. The ASDL pays
lip service to democracy while push,
:ng a program that stabs it in the
back.
IT MUST BE NOTED that Mr.
Dworkis obscures the issue of op-
posing convoys by charging that the
Peace Council opposes aid to Britain.
This is not stated in the program,
and there are people in the Council
who have favored aid; and those
who have opposed it because of the
consequences. That question is now
academic. The present question is
whether the aid "short of, war"
which Mr. Dworkis has been espous-
ing is actually going to be short of
war. We are united in opposing con-
voys because this is the last step to
total participation. Whether we fav-
ored or opposed aid before, we must
unite in opposing convoys. The
ASDL must obscure this fact to hide
its war program.
'THE BEST ANSWER that can be
given to advocates of a war pro-
gram as well as fainthearted "peace-
lovers" who deserted the Peace
Council for a lecture, is a full turn
out to the Peace Strike today. Let
the students who are not prima-
donnas and fainthearts show their
determination today to get out and
stay out of this war, and to protect
and extend democracy at home.

WASHINGTON-There are sever-
al important developments behind the
plan to make the North Atlantic safe
for "all" ships of "all" nationalities.
One is the conversion of the old
battleship Wyoming into an air-
craft carrier. From its decks, after
conversion, airplanes will scout the
North Atlantic for submarines.
THE WYOMING is the oldest bat-
tleship in the Navy and came
near being scrapped at the London
Naval Conference of 1930. However,
the Japanese wanted to keep one of
their oldbattleships as a training
ship, so the United States countered
that it would keep the Wyoming
Otherwise she would be scrap iron
today-and probably sold to Japan
As a training ship, her big guns were
removed, but the Wyoming still can
serve as an effective airplane car-
rier--especially, in the North, At-
lantic.
ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT is the
plan to take over the French lux-
ury liner Normandie as another air-
craft carrier. Incidentally, the Nor-
mandie will be used not by the U.S
Navy, but will be under Henry Mor-
genthau as part of the Coast Guard.
It will be the biggest vessel used by
any Coast Guard in world history.
The Normandie was secretly de-
signed by the French for conversion
into an aircraft carrier. A- huge
sports deck was built so that it could
be quickly changed into an airplane
landing deck. Two elevators were
even installed at each end of the
ship for the hoisting of planes.
Nazi Subs Tactics
The use of airplanes in spotting
submarines in the North Atlantic
was worked out partly as a result
of Nazi tactics in locating British
vessels. For some time the Nazis
have used airplanes to spot British
convoys, then radioed their location
to nearby submarines, usually lying
in nests of three or four, awaiting
