REPRESENTED2 FOR NATIONAL ADVERTISING BY National Advertising Service, Inc. College Publishers Representative 420 MADISON AVE. NEW YORK. N. Y. CHICAGO - BOSTON * LOS ANGELES * SAN FRANCISCO Member, Associated Collegiate Press, 1939-40 Editorial Staff A guy I know had a date broken in Detroit, last Sunday night. He got this letter from the lady in question Monday: Dear Dick, I've just got about five minutes to write this and somehow explain about last night. Had to use a pencil and darn-lucky to find paper and I hope you can make out writing, as I am that excited. Well, I had every intention of seeing you 'cause I didn't quit until Friday and I had planned to have dinner at ten after I was through-but Saturday when I realized I owe just about every store in town, and not another job in sight, I was really scared. To get to the point-I was married that nite. So you see I forgot about everything-I can't think of how to tell you about it so will write later. Until, Jane. "To get to the point." So long until soon. The other night I was sitting over at the Union with a guy I went to high school with. We used to see a lot of each other, but for the last couple of years, the way things go, we just haven't got together very often. It seemed to me he had changed, somehow, I couldn't put my finger on just what had changed about him, but it was harder to talk to him, we didn't have the things to talk about we used to have. Then I realized what it was. We were grow- ing up. I don't know how common the experi- ence is, or how many people go through it how often, but it's a funny feeling. You sit talking to a guy, and you feel just the same as you always have, just like a kid, just the same as you did when you were in the Boy Scouts, or the tenth grade, and all of a sudden the guy says something about getting married pretty soon, or tells you about his job in the same way you have heard your dad talk about his job, and the guy is no longer a kid like you, but a man, or almost a man. Then you sit back and start to wonder what the hell. Then you notice that he seems to think differently about you, and it hits you that you've grownpup too. Does any- body ever see clearly and steadily how he is changing, how his life is rolling along, or does it always come as a complete surprise? Oh sure, like all of us, I get feeling I'm pretty ma- ture sometimes, pretty wise to the world and experienced, but just the same it never seems to me that I can't go back, that I can't get back into my kid days any time I feel like it. There's no doubt in my mind that 'Oeople will make allowances for me because I'm just a young person, and then bang, I'm 61d enough to vote or buy whiskey or anything except be President. It doesn't feel too good, I'll tell, you that. It puts on you a responsibility that you don't like. It makes you see that whatever you do, you do from now on in as a man, not as a precocious kid who must be praised and petted for every- thing he turns out. Not so nice, and yet not all my own fault either, for I feel that if I weren't in school, I might be more aware of myself than I am here. Maybe if somewhere along the line I had got myself a job, and worked in a pla'ce where people didn't know me, I would know now what the good parts of being a man are. Maybe if I hadn't been forced to adopt a child's attitude toward teachers who don't like to be anything but looked up to, I might know the same self- respect that they seem to enjoy. School is not a place to mature, no matter what they tell you. School is a place to get some of the pieces of the man who is to come, but not to find the man himself. Hervie Haufler .

Machiavelli' Lewis Supports Willkie . . M ACHIAVELLI lives once more! With sickening logical sophistry unworthy of a high school debating team, CIO president John L. Lewis announced Friday that he was no longer going to play second fiddle to the President, declaring his support of Wen- dell L. Willkie. Although Lewis knew that the vast majority of members of the CIO had already indicated their support of Franklin Roosevelt, he neverthe-' less flagrantly flaunted his trust as leader of those four million workers by disregarding their expressed wishes. Viewed apart from the opin- ions involved, the action of the CIO head can only be interpreted as the deed of a modern Machiavelli who rivals Stalin in the callousness with which he regards a trust. Oh, there will be protests to justify Lewis' action on the grounds that it represents his own sincere conviction. Granted, for the moment, that this assumption be true. It still follows that a worthy popular leader, aware that his own views were. inimicable toward those he led, would have subordinated personal opinion to that of the men and women who had chosen him their leader. Should he be elected, Mr. Willkie himself could not be more severely condemned on the same grounds if he proceeded to betray the trust of his capitalist supporters by instituting demo- cratic socialism. BUT THE PROPOSITION that Lewis acted ac- cording to sincere, rational conviction in supporting Willkie holds water like a sieve when the verbose generalizations of his speech are examined in the light of his own and Mr. Will- kie's previous record and statement. His declarations that Roosevelt is on the road to war, that America needs no superman, that the New Deal has failed to solve the economic depression in peacetime and is now depending on a war prosperity are genuinely valid if taken by ;themselves. But Lewis thereupon proceeds to endorse a man (who stripped of his oratory) would and could do nothing different except allow the in- terests behind him to emasculate as much of social gain as they could expediently do. Snubbed by the present driver of the band wagon, Lewis turns like a cheap politician to support Willkie for the job; Lewis, himself, has stated that both play the same music. It was before the American Youth Congress in February of this year that Lewis declared that domestic prosperity and peace could only be created and maintained through the cooperative action of labor, youth and the unemployed in a third party movement that would free itself of its decadent predecessors. TODAY, although he says that America needs no superman, John L. Lewis maintains that the future of America lies in the personage of Wendell L. Willkie, because the Republican can- didate has duly stated with the dogmatic author- ity of a heaven-sent prophet that he will: "Put the unemployed to work; abolish pau- perism; increase the national income by working to increase the wages and incomes of the unem- ployed; enlist the representative brains of the nation to do this task; and reduce the cost of operation of our government, and thus reduce the taxes imposed upon individual citizens." Cg Drew Pearsos Robet S.Allen WASHINGTON-U.S. observers acquainted with the morale of the German people are get- ting bullish about Britain, in view of the heavy RAF bombings of Germany. These officials point out that German con- quests on land, even if they should be extended beyond the Balkans into Egypt or even to India, do not relieve the problem of the 80 million Ger- mans who must continue to take punishment from British bombing. It has been proved already that the military genius of the Germans is in land movements. They have no strength at sea, and they have failed to gain complete mastery in the air, though at times they have come close to it. This leaves the British with an air force growing stronger daily by arrival of Canadian and American planes, to bomb the great German cities in an attempt to break civilian morale. German conquests abroad do not relieve the distress of people in such heavily populated cen- ters as Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig, Hamburg, and Munich. So long as these people must spend cold winter nights in the cellars, with no rest, there can be no real victory for Germany. Roosevelt Borrows The other day Postmaster General Frank Walker called at the White House with William Knudsen and other defense commissioners to sell the President the first 100 new "National Defense" stamps, which come in 1c, 2c and 3c denominations. "This is a strictly cash-on-the-line proposi- tion, Mr. President," said Walker. "Have you got six dollars?" Roosevelt reached for his billfold. It contained one five-dollar bill, no more. "Hmmm-short a dollar," he mused. Borrowing; as Shakespeare said, may "dull the edge of husbandry," but on the other hand not everyone gets the chance to lend the President of the United States a buck. Everyone in the room grabbed for his wallet simultaneously. But Walker was the first to produce the dollar. Grinning, Roosevelt promised to repay Walker on 'my next payday.' veterate labor enemies as Republic Steel's Tom Girdler, Bethlehem's Eugene Grace and National Steel's Ernest T. Weir. THEN IN A STATEMENT that shall mark his all-time low in intellectual integrity, Lewis admits that these steel magnates may be hypo- critical, but hastens to add, "These gentlemen must possess some virtue, because President Roosevelt has awarded them many a fat and lucrative government contract at the expense of the public purse." Oh, what, demagogy from the mouths of high men doth flow. In eight short months Lewis has transferred his faith in peace and security for America from the common people to one man who agrees with all of Roosevelt's policies' except Roosevelt himself. "I can make men pro- duce; I can build up our army and navy; I can make jobs; I can abolish pauperism; I can re- duce taxes," Mr. Willkie boasts with the intoxi- cating confidence of an institutionalized Na- poleon., Lewis says that he will retire if Willkie loses Domine Says Religion and politics occupy opposite poles in many respects. Political life drives for im- mediate decision. Religious behavior can rely upon eternity for its completion. Politics leads a man to make alliances but religion impels him to stand before God indebted to no man. The present scene, for the man in political life, re- quires devotion to human affairs, belief in im- plementing agencies, and selection of leaders who promise to serve party objectives. With the Christian emphasis upon the person and the golden rule for sbcial action considered basic, what of the religius man and religious groups in our decade? The task is specific. Race hatred, class antagoni . -sectarian bigotry, vigilantism, refusal to acept the expressed will of the majority, strong arm practice, epithets instead of ideas, falsific tion to gain applause or votes, and ill-will afteran election; as religious men view life, are anathema, positively evil and destructive of the Christian spirit. The use of such abuses of our freedom either before or after the democratic process has served us at the polls will be resisted by every religious person. How shall he resist these threatening abuses of our American way-these violations of the religious principle? A few procedures may be mentioned. First. By stating clearly, succinctly, and faithfully the political view of the candidate against whom he is voting. Second. By spend- ing time at getting the view-point of neighbors in the opposite party. Third. By reading editori- als favoring the other party as he reads those favoring his own candidate. Fourth. By work- ing zealously but openly and in a sportsman- like manner, for what he believes, and for his choice in the political field. Fifth. By insisting that every political or social minority which has come forward with views and candidates in orderly fashion shall have the same rights and privileges as our major parties enjoy. Sixth. By making a fresh study of the Christian thesis and devotion out of which our western demo- cratic institutions have grown and on which the founders of these United States based the Bill of Rights. A large order you say. Yes, but the religious life itself is a large order. "See that no man render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good both among yourselves and toward all men." (I Thessalonians 5:15). -Edward W. Blakeman Counselor in Religious Education The City Editor's SCRflTCH PHD Those hospitable red and white flags, decorat- ing State Street Saturday morning, weren't erected to frighten Penn-they were merely part of a Red Cross campaign. But they did serve a double purpose. Maybe you're interested in the headline in the Penn University newspaper just be- fore today's game. To quote: "Intrepid Quaker Eleven sets out To $litzkreig Wol- verine." Which is not modest. So John L. Lewis has come out for Willkie. And he'll resign if FDR wins. That's interest- ing. But what is his following going to do if Roosevelt wins the victory that appears to be his? * * * Bill Stern, NBC's ace, took a moment off his SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27. 1940 a' VOL. LI.
