ew America
And The War
F4OUR MONTHS after the publication
of Harold J. Laski's great manifesto
to the English people and government, "Where
Do We Go From Here?", Britain still stands. It
was Mr. Laski's thesis in his book that if Britain
was to survive the war, the British government
must capture the dynamic of the English masses
for such a tremendous effort by initiating a basic
social reconstruction of English society.
So convincingly written is Laski's message that
today many American liberals are ready to be-
lieve that every passing day of British resistance
means that democratic socialism in England is
nearer accomplishment. Speaking before an
Ann Arbor luncheon audience last week-end,
national director Thomas Wright of the liberal-
socialist political movement, New America, went
so far as to declare that he was ready to ask
that America participate militarily to aid the
British cause without even a declaration of war
aims by the Churchill government.
Many American liberals like Wright have
swallowed Laski's thesis, that survival of
Britain depends upon a social revolution
there, without digesting it. Of course Wright
and others may have come to their conclu-
sions independently of Laski, but the remark
is still very pertinent, that, when Laski
speaks of Britain's survival, he means sur-
vival of democratic institutions there. He
admits, though he does not think it probable,
that Britain mhay win militarily without any
basic social reconstruction, and will lose
denicracy through internal fascism after-
wards as one of the aftermaths of the war.
We must bear in mind, then, what the
foremost exponent of the "survival through
social reconstruction" theory means by sur-
vival. For Mr. Laski is quite frank in admit-
ting that the dominant privileged classes of
Englaid, the original appeasers who aided
And abetted Hitler's rise, are still trying to
beat Hitler with a minimum sacrifice of
their. own interests. Teyporary concessions
and promises, and the stark imminence of
Nazi conquest may be able to maintaioy that
devotion of the English masses to the united
war effort to give England a military victory.
Certainly such an interpretation of the so-
called "facts" of social reconstruction in Png-
land seems more valid in the light of all previous
experience. The situation maybe is unique as
Mr. Wright and others claim it to be, but it is
not so unique that the old-fashioned methods of
trickery, deception and concessions in a pinch
can be neatly ruled out,
The British emmissaries of privilege still dom-
inate the British cabinet and the parliament by
decided majorities. England's great labor leader,
Ernest Bevin, is placed in the position as secre-
tary in charge of production, a position where he
can most effectively help the British cause by
appealing to the English masses for their all-.
important labor, while to what ends their toil is
to serve is in the hands of men like Lord Halifax,
a representative of British privilege who was
active in aiding Hitler's ascent.
It is argued that high corporate levies, exten-
sion of some old-age pensions and unemploy-
ment insurance and the fact that most political

months ago when they voted down a consid-
eration of Indian independence demands.
If British privilege is unwilling to even con-
sider an abrogation of sovereignty over an-
other people, can they be expected to allow
the sacrifice of national sovereignty that
woud be necessary for a peaceful European
order?
Yes, British reaction still rides the saddle
of power in England.
The right to criticize in war-time doesn't
mean that England is becoming more demo-
cratic. The coalition government dominated
by the representatives of British privilege
still rules the roost, holding the support of
the patient English people by the very immi-
nence of the danger and a show of repre-
sentation in the cabiet. All the condition-{
ing and culture of British privilege rules
that, in an even more dominant position
after the war, they will look to their interests
first with even more tragic post-war results
for the world than followed the first world
conflict.
Yes, Mr. Wright this war is unique in that in-{
extricably tied up with the imperial struggle is a
fundamental revolutionary force of nihilism
whose influence America feels today and cannot
escape tomorrow. There are differences between
England and Nazi Germany that make the Eng-
lish support worthy of our material support. We
are already in the war to that extent. But can
you, Kr. Wright, or any others, honestly ask
American youth to shed their blood for what
those who dominate England are fighting for?
Merely saying that we are in the war already
does not blur the fact that there is a vast differ-
ence between what material and military partici-
pation in the war will mean for America. Mili-\
tary participation will reach to the very fiber of
American youth, involve their entire ideals and
hopes and lives. If the American people suffer
once more the disillusionment that followed the
last war "for democracy" they will be psycho-.
logically and morally incapable of organizing
themselves democratically and peacefully do-
mestically or internationally.
How ask people to live democratically,
when democracy means nothing but dis-
illusionment? And to say that, after helping
defeat Hitler, America will enforce democrat-
ic morals in the world is to speak the shib-

boleth of the American super-patriot and
typical politician. The world will not be
made a moral world by a country that does
not first practice them itself. It is to that
task that America must first devote herself,
to make democracy work here in America.
Material aid to Britain, yes, but America
must have peace if she is to realize her pos-
sibilities. As Robert Maynard Hutchins,
president of the University of Chicago has
brilliantly put it:
"Some day if we stay out of war we may
perhaps understand and practice freedom
of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from
want and freedom from fear. We may even
be able to comprehend and support justice,
democracy, the moral order and the suprem-
acy of human rights. Today we have but
begun to grasp the meaning of the words ...
If we go to war we shall think no more of
justice, the moral order and the supremacy
of human rights. We shall have hope no
longer".
That is our first task, to become a real democ-
racy so that when we fight fascism, it will be
democracy that fights. If we fight today, even
if we help England beat Hitler by sending our
soldiers across, we will lose, lose the only thing
that is worth fighting for, the democratic heri-
tage that can be ours. This is the "new Ameri-

ART
The Ann Arbor Art Association has as its
current exhibition, in Alumni Memorial Hall, a
display of small-folio Currier and Ives prints,
and a collection of lithographs by the Japanese
painter, Yasuo Kuniyoshi. The show, while
distinctly of a minor sort, is pleasant and stim-
ulating to the eye. If the Kuniyoshi prints
come off with honors aesthetically, the Currier
and Ives lithographs certainly have the his-
toric and social significance.
It is a matter of considerable importance, one
may insist, to estimate justly and accurately
the importance of the Currier and Ives prints.
One must not fall over backwards into over-
praising them, but one may safely say that they
rank high in the history of American art. Cer-
tainly, they mark a genuinely native contribu-
tion, even,if they be on the primitive side. This
primitive character is displayed in the altogether
charming Mt. Vernon.. Such thing as Bolted or
Martin van Buren seem like pleasant country
cousins of Constatin Guys' equestian prints.
The Kuniyoshi prints give a cross-section of
the work of this distinguished painter. Here
may be seen his own personal invention applied

to the medium of the lithograph. How one re-
acts to these prints will depend on whether or
not one likes Kuniyoshi's peculiar idiom. This
is an ultra-smart and stylish sort of art. That
is possesses true style is another thing. If one
will accept the Kuniyoshi manner, several of
the pieces are rewarding. Among these are De-
serted Brickyard and Dress Form, both in soft,
grey tones. Squash and Pears and Grapes stand
out among the still-lifes. Perhaps the most ap-
pealing of the prints is the witty Milking Cow.
It has in it all the satire for which the artist
strives in vain in his many figure pieces.
-John Maxon
The Eagle Has Strong Wings
A #mock battle in British skies has dispelled
one of the most insidious reports of the war with
respect to aviation. No longer can the rumor
persist that the American combat planes are an
inferior product.
For when an American ship, in test combat,
recently "brought down" one of the famous
British Hurricanes, it proved more than an ac-
curate military assessment of the kind of craft
coming from American production lines. To a
nation, itself facing potential emergency, the test
must be as reassuring as it is to the British who
are staking so much on American "tools".

WASHINGTON - In the public
mind America's National Defense
Problem No. 1 is production of air-
planes. Actually, however, it isn't.
War Department chiefs haven't
been advertising it, but their great-
est worry is gunpowder. You can't
fight a war without powder. And upj
until recently the annual powder pro-'
duction of all U.S. factories was only
12,000,000 pounds, which would last
us a few short weeks in wartime.
In comparison, the United States
produced 500,000,000 pounds of pow-'
der at the end of the last war, and
had partially built factories which
would have produced another 500,-
000,000 pounds a few months after
the Armistice.;
BUT in 1919-20 these factories were
torn down or converted, by com-
panies worried lest the Government
get into munitions manufacture and
compete with their private business.
Twenty years have passed. Today,
with the country facing the most ur-
gent rearmament race in history,
private companies still are worried
over government operation - espe-
cially of nitrate plants.
It happens that nitrate is the key
to gunpowder production. Manufac-
ture of powder is a simple and speedy
process. But it is made from explo-
sive nitrate, and nitrate production
is far more difficult.
Source Of Nitrates
HERE are two kinds of nitrates,
natural and synthetic. Major source
of the natural is Chile. But it has
two big drawbacks: (1) the desperate
shipping shortage; (2) the product's
inferiority to synthetic nitrate for,
powder purposes, although good;
enough for fertilizer. Use of syn-;
thetic nitrate for explosives is far;
more efficient, less expensive and
militarily more desirable.
In the United States there are only
two big producers of synthetic explo-
sive nitrate - Allied Chemical and
Dye Corporation, at its giant Hope-
well, Va., plant; and duPont.
When Defense Commission chiefs
decided to build new powder plants,
they also had to provide an adequate;
supply of nitrate. And right there
they earl lead-on into a maze of
private opposition to their methods-
tacitly supported by certain Army
officers.
Today, one year later, the tangle
is not wholly resolved. The untold;

First Nitrate Hitch
FIRST HITCH was objection to the
Government's plan of importing
Chilean nitrate, thus permitting
Allied Chemical's Hopewell plant to
stop making fertilizer and devote its
entire capacity to explosive; nitrates,
if necessary.
The chemical industry fell on this
plan like a ton of brick. Backed by
certain Army officials, it hotly denied
that the nation faced a nitrate short-
age. Hopewell's full facilities, it was
argued would not be needed for pow-
der purposes.
The Defense Commission then
turned to developing new plant facil-
ities. Here good fortune seemedWto
smile. TVA still had its World War
nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals, was
eager to use it for defense produc-
tion.
But during long Senate debates in
the Coolidge an'd Hoover administra-
tions, which opposed government
production of nitrates, the machinery
had lain idle, and now needed mod-
ernization. Still that would take less
time than erecting a new plant, and
their were also the advantages of
strategic location plus excellent pow-
er and transportation facilities.
