An Imperialistic War
To the Editor:
NOTICE TODAY that Professor Slosson says
he was a Wilson man while he was enjoying
his "proud moments" as well as during his "dis-
illusioned nineteen-twenties." In other words,
if I may risk drawing a conclusion, I assume
that Preston Slosson believes, as no doubt Wilson
did, that the Germany of 1916 was a menace
to world peace. So, as everyone knows, Mr. S.
believes that we should go to war to stop Ger-
many, and create another World Court and
League of Nations to maintain the peace.
Prof. Slosson holds that failure of the U.S.'s
entry into the League was responsible for the
League's collapse. But, why did the U.S. stay
out? Why was the League ineffective in its cru-
cial tests? And are those same forces still
present?
A LONG TIME AGO, a school of "Economic
Determinism" predicted a lot of things that
are happening now. It is true that the minute
details were sometimes awry, but I believe that
the analysis of the forces at work was essentially
correct. The capitalist system has created an
aristocracy of wealth in all the nations of'the
world in spite of what Prof. Slosson says about
the free ballot in this and other countries. Harry
Elmer Barnes says that the two major political
parties in this country are becoming more and
more alike every day; Tweedledum and Tweedle-
dee as it were, fighting for the spoils of office.
(Boy, did he hit the nail bn the head in regards
to F.D.R. "opposing" Willkie.) This aristocracy
is compelled by its very nature to pit one group
of nationals against another to gain or maintain
its wealth, and this is the crux of the matter.
The economic frontiers were closed early in the
Twentieth Century, and then began Imperialist
War.
As a result of the last war, Hitlerism was born,
a necessary consequence for the continued state
of war that began in 1900 and is stillgoing on.
And now, Prof. Slosson still holds that if Hitler
is defeated, and a new League of Nations is
formed, victory is ours.
Dear Sir, how in the world are we to have
world peace when a British Empire exists, or if
Mr. Luce's (LIFE) dream of the U.S. policeing the
world comes true? "Collective, cooperative so-
ciety?" By all means; but that does not mean
English or American dictation. It has not been
proven that the English speaking peoples are
the finest people on the earth, as Dorothy
Thompson says. We can learn more about "col-
lective, cooperative society" from the Eskimo
than from the English.
YES, PROFESSOR SLOSSON, we all want
peace, but I venture to say that we can never
obtain it your way. We can get peace by re-
moving the basic cause of poverty, crime, and
war. We can get peace by ridding ourselves of
the most blinding, corrupting, wasteful, and
stifling of all forces, CAPITALISM*.
*Engineers, please note: 1941 model automo-
biles do not mean progress if a coolie earns eight
cents a day in Java to supply rubber for the tires,
and if an army is necessary to see that Herr
Schmutz gets the profit.
We will receive no dividends by fighting Hitler
for the same reasons, and in the same way, as we
fought the Kaiser. Wilson was disillusioned
afterward, and so will Prof. Slosson be. Wait
and see. Time will tell.

WASHINGTON-What most worries the State
Department today is the fact that Hitler is
poised over Spain, can shoot down to the Straits
of Gibraltar, thence to French West Africa.
From there it is a short hop to Brazil and South
America.
In other words, Spain-the mother counfry of
most of South America--is the real spearhead
of Nazi attack and influence among our Good
Neighbors. This was deliberately planned by
Hitler as long as six years ago, and the results
of this far-sighted policy are now beginning to
bear luscious fruit.
THE MARQUIS DE AGUTAR, ageht of Catholic
groups in Spain and certainly no Communist,
this week gave eloquent testimony of this fact.
Already Hitler has twelve divisions in Spain,
the Marquis said, and has sent four ships loaded
with munitions to Nazi sympathizers in Latin
America.
General Franco. whom the State Department
career boys helped install as Spanish dictator,
signed a secret agreement with Hitler on October
8, 1938, by which Germany took over Spain.
However, according to the Marquis de Aguiar,
Hitler found it more expedient to use Spain as
a blind to get everything possible out of the
United States. So, for the time being, Fascist
Spain was instructed to be neutral.
UEAL FACT is that Spain is no more neutral
than France. Today Spanish Falangists are
operating throughout Latin America, even next
door in Cuba. The Falangists have started a
tremendous movement to take that island back
to the mother country-Spain.
Obviously if Spain did win a foothold in Cuba,
the island would become equivalent to Crete,
only nearer, in serving as a stepping-stone for
invasion of the United States.
Meanwhile wealthy Mrs. Alexander Weddell,
wife of the U.S. Ambassador to Spain, donated
an orphanage to the women's auxiliary of the
Falangists, arch-enemies of the U.S.A.-a gift
which the Madrid press credited to the German
Ambassador.
rTHIS was not half as bad, however, as the
short-sightedness of certain State Depart-
ment officials who helped put a puppet of Hit-
ler's into power in Spain.
For instance, when civil war broke in Spain
in 1936, it made no difference to the State De-
partment's career clique that General Franco
had consulted with Mussolini before he began
his revolution. Joseph C. Green, head of the
State Department's Munitions Control Board,
went ahead and urged U.S. munitions dealers
not to sell arms to the established government
of Spain to protect itself against the revolution-
ary agents of Hitler and Mussolini.
ALSO, the State Department career boys did
their best to keep the Spanish Ambassador
from seeing the President of the United States;
so that he was only able to get to the White
House through such a roundabout channel as
the then Secretary of Agriculture, Henry Wall-
ace. When he did see the President, Ambassador
de los Rios warned him-even as early as 1936-
that if the seeds of Fascism were planted in
Spain, the mother country, they were sure to
sprout in Latin America, a warning which the
career boys regretfully remember five years
later.

How About'
A Safety Island?
LTHOUGH there have been no re-
cent fatalities at the intersection of
North University, Washtenaw Avenue and East
University, the problem of making it a less dan-
gerous place to cross is nofie the less urgent. That
there isn't a high accident toll for that corner
under the present conditions is almost miracu-I
lous.
Students hurrying home from the direction
of Barbour Gymnasium at lunch time are faced
with the almost impossible task not only of look-
ing in four directions before crossing but also
of wondering which of several paths a car com-
ing from one of these four directions will take.
To make matters worse, none of these streets
has a stop sign. Each driver, eager to find a
chance to squeeze through to where he wants
to go, will speed across the intersection between
onrushing cars without a glance at a pedestrian
who is often stranded out in the middle of the
crossing with automobiles careening crazily on
all sides of him.
At night the pedestrian is actually taking his
life in his hands to cross there. It is impossible
to see in all directions if one does not step out
into the street, and city busses and autos have
a very dangerous habit of turning off North
University onto East University too close to the
curb for anyone to stand there.
PROBABLY the only way to solve the problem
would be to resort to the methods of metro-
politan cities and construct a small safety is-
land, outlined with reflectors for use at night,
at the middle of the intersection. The proper
shape and position for the island would have
to be left to the genius of some engineer. It will
be a difficult task, but undoubtedly it is a neces-
sary one. Since this is only one of several dan-
gerous intersections in Ann Arbor, perhaps. De-
troit's recently organized Traffic Safety Asso-
ciation will serve as a model for a similar group
to clear up safety problems here.

A Man Without
A Country .. .
VERYONE is still in the dark as to
what Rudolph Hess's motives were
in dropping over to Bonnie Scotland, but if he
expected sympathy and peaceful refuge as a vic-
tim of Hitlerian "persecution" it seems he must
be shockingly disappointed. According to Wil-
liam L. Stoneman, Chicago Daily News corre-
spondent in London, a recent newsreel depicting
the results of German atrocities throughout the
world was accompanied after each incident by
the comment, "The Nazis did this and Rudolph
Hess is a Nazi." Then, after some shots of Ger-
man aviators, brought down over England, being
marched through a London station, the com-
mentator states, "Let's get all the news we can
from Rudolf Hess and then lock him up with
the rest of the rats." With this last suggestion,
adds Stoneman, "--most British citizens would
agree."
Evidently, the "blood, sweat, and tears" diet
which Hitler has forced on the English people
has produced such a passion of hatred for>the
Germans that they cannot reconcile themselves
to being friendly or partial even to those who

9 A Letter Home
To My Mother
By TOM THUMB
---

Dear Ma,
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME since I've written
you, so I am writing in answer to your
last letter in which you told me to give you the
real lowdown on what's happyening in all these
automobile strikes, etc., up here in Detroit, etc.
The men working at That Motor Company vot-
ed overwhelmingly, I see by the paper, in favor
of the CIO. Harry Bennett, who is in charge
of all the employes at the Co., said "It's a great
victory for the Communist Party, Gov. Murray
D. Van Wagoner and the National Labor Rela-
tions Board. The law provides that we must live
with them and we never violate the law."
You wouldn't know it, Ma, but there's 51,866
of those Communists working at That Plant.
That's what Mr. Bennett says, and he ought to
know. You ought to see that plant these days.
51,866 wild bolsheviks running around like mad,
carrying bombs and sabotaging everything in
sight, with only Mr. Bennett's crew to maintain
order.
THE PLANT is now a veritable battleground.
Them Communists are working their damned
heads off to manufacture them new defense air-
planes and blitzbuggies and stuff -- but they
( ain't doing it for Uncle Sam - it's for Uncle Joe.
They're building all these armaments as part of
the Soviet strategy. What these here fellows are
gonna do is have a revolution when the time is
ripe and then use all these here tanks and
planes and blitzbuggies against the United States
Government. They're even appropriating a V8
Special Deluxe for Commissar Van Wagoner.
Oh, it will be a gory mess. And they have
special secret communications with all the other
unions (unions is the Russian word for orchee-
chornia, which means borers-from-within) and
when this great underground network starts
networking they will Russkrieg the whole U.S.,

and them asking for more dough! It's their way
of sabotaging billions and billions of dollars worth
of national defense orders. Them Communist lab-
orers ain't entitled to more dough, they're just
supposed to do the work. If they had any brains
they'd work their way up to be President Of
The Company, and if they ain't got any brains
they wouldn't know what to do with the money
they got, anyway. They ought to be glad they're
getting anything at all.
HE REAL FELLOW who should get the extra
dough is the President of these here com-
panies, or the Enterprenewer, as we say in Eco-
nomics class. He's the fellow who gets all the
ideas. And besides the cost of living is going up
and he's got to live. Them labor comrades ought to
work for nothing, thankful enough they ain't in
Europe or some other Communist country.
So I think they ought to fire those 51,866
Communists out of that Ford factory and ship
'em all off to Rooshia, where most of 'em came
from anyway, or their ancestors. They can get
law abiding Americans. to work for 'em - fel-
lows who would be glad to work for the great
cause of putting out fine cars for the American
home or putting out blitzbuggies for the Amer-
ican army, without worrying about how they're
going to eat.
Sorry I flied off the handle, Ma, but it gets
me sore the way you read these lies at home
in the Communistic newspapers.
WE HAVE HERE now, I believe, the most per-
fect example of democracy to be found any-
where or at any time. This here democracy
realizes the limitations of all the small men and
puts them in a place where they can get along,
but not beat up on the big fellows who are
running things, as they should.
In conclusion, Ma, let me say again God Bless
