THERE'S ALWAYS the morning after. America along with the rest of the world will experience an economic headache when the present conflict ends. For whether we realize it or not we are in the war to the extent that we too will suffer its ill effects. What particular effects the war will have on our American cities was recently the topic of discussion of the National Association of Real Estate Boards convention in Philadelphia. The general agreement was, that however much business may be stimulated by defense spending and other influences traceable to war, the end of war is sure to bring unfavorable reaction. Charles F. Palmer, Defense Housing Coordi- nator for the National Defense Advisory Com- mission, summarized the sentiment well: "When this emergency is over," Palmer said, "we are going to be faced with the letdown that always follows a supreme defense effort. War orders will cease. Men will return home from camps loking for jobs. Communties in the neigh- borhood of the big war industries will begin to lose population. Unless the government is pre- pared to take drastic action to sustain the national prosperity, there will be a business col- lapse." THESE ARE NOT new words; they have been spoken before. But it is an encouraging sign that men of influence and ability are today re- viewing the disastrous consequences of the last World War. Palmer followed his predictions with this constructive suggestion: "Our cities certainly need rebuilding, and with the dislocation of world trade which is sure to continue for years after the peace, there comes a golden opportunity. "Housing and city building are all done with an internal economy. We do not need to import materials or labor. All are at hand and will be crying for employment when men return to normal pursuits of life. With proper legislation, we can rebuild the rotten cores of our cities and make such rebuilding pay its own way." MR. PALMER is right when he says that men "will be crying for employment," but hous- ing isn't the only thing that is needed to main- tain American prosperity. Americans need more food, more clothing and more of an infinite number of goods and services. One third of Americans are admittedly ill-fed, ill-housed and ill-clothed. These are the eternal needs that go on when bloodshed stops. Any permanent prosperity must eventually be built upon them. If we hope to escape economic collapse after the war we should begin today to expand our latent economic ca pacities to produce more butter as well as arms. Food, clothing and decent homes are as necessary as arms for any defense of America, and they are the only antidote for the economic headache that will plague us the "morning after" the war ends. -Robert Speckhard Unity, Mexico Style After months of suspense over the threat of the Almazon forces to launch a revolt, calm now r'jt+1rvnct, tr 1.fir wxih the.r ofefp-td nrside1n- THIrS IS by courtesy for your lost and found notes, or more frankly, a little message to brother rat. It concerns one Earl Gilman, ex- associate editor on the Daily, now in the Law School, and one gray overcoat, formerly the property of Earl Gilman, and one extremely cold spell in Ann Arbor, and one very cold boy without enough dough to buy another overcoat (he wouldn't want me to say that), and one hope on my part that this may be read by a thief with a conscience. Earl came in Thurs- day night, looking a little cold, in fact very cold, and said his overcoat had just been lifted by someone about seven o'clock just outside the Pendleton Library in the Union. He wasn't sore, just puzzled, and wondering a little. It is so very cold, a guy needs an overcoat, and the thing won't pawn for much because it is not a new coat. All Earl wants is the coat. If the guy who promoted said coat happens to read this, and if he can find in himself something worth recapturing of his self-respect, Earl wishes he would just check the coat in one of the checkrooms and mail the tag to him at 408 Hamilton. It will make a lot of us feel a lot more like Christmas is coming, maybe bring back to us some of the innate goodness in all men, if the overcoat comes back. Maybe I'm a cheerful moron, maybe I don't understand the things that ma'ke a man steal, but I honest- to-God expect that coat to be returned. When it does I'll tell you about it. TOM HARMON is beginning to find out what* it is to be really famous. After three years of making nothing but friends, after three years of nobody ever being able to say he was swell- headed or a heel or anything of the sort gen- erally dished out to prominent people, it must be at least a minor sore spot to Harmon now to see and hear himself being accused of hog- ging the spotlight or having his name bandied around by the beer garden moralists. The in- evitable grapevine is hard to work. The nasty, groundless little rumors are making the rounds. Harmon is a name in the gossip columns now. And from now on until another seven-day wonder comes onto the scene, Harmon will just have to keep still and take it. Being a success breeds jealousy and hate in people. Being a success is like being a school teacher in a small town. You just damn well hadn't read the wrong kind of books, or drink a glass of beer, or do anything which contains the seeds of a great spreading lie, because as sure as you do the lie will grow, and before you know it you will be on the skids. You make a kidding remark, it goes out, circulates for two days, and you see yourself tagged as swell-headed. Nos, Harmon may be in a swell spot right now, but in the next few months he's going to have plenty of grief. I don't know him. I base my admira- tion for him solely on the fact that amongst all the football players, amongst all the people who have been around him while he has been here, I have never heard adnasty crack about him. And if I haven't heard him downed here in a newspaper office, he can't be downed, take it from me. In this business we are not celebrity conscious, we do not see many people whom we like, because they all seem like space-grabbing, publicity-loving stuffed shirts. We get even with all such, nights after the paper has gone to press and we sit around over a cup of coffee. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Whose Art Week? For the past few days we have been enjoying a display of artistic talent of the faculty of the college of Archietecture and Design.. We have noted with some degree of interest the efforts of that illustrious body through the media of oil and watercolor. However, we cannot help but re- alize that the proportion of work actually done by the students of art is really extremely low. jNor have we had ample opportunities to ex- amine our future painters' creations adequately in past exhibits. Why is Ann Arbor constantly made a theatre for the performances of the painting faculty? Surely students and townspeople alike would appreciate "a change of scenery." We question the judgment of the professor artists for dis- playing their work instead of that of the sudents. We have always considered it worthy to display, appraise and criticize student work. Other arts of the University are given more opportunities for student presentations, but we certainly miss our painters. National Art Week should be a fine occasion in a university town to present student as well as professional work. How about it professors? - Student This Escaped Chicago Censor . . Censorship is not confined to Europe. You can even find some of a kind in the Big Ten. That's why we don't know much about Chicago's six man football. Every now and then, though, someone pops up in the Daily Maroon that gives hint that all is not well. As an example we print a letter to the Maroon editor. It speaks for itself : "Dear Editor: Six man football isn't what they thought it would be. There are four teams in the intramural league and they have played each other so many times that they now call The way I tell whether a man is small or big is listening to the newspaper men who have had contact with him. That Tom Harmon is liked by the fourth estate, that in all the times we have talked him over he has never been called a heel, is good enough for me, and I think the most sincere praise and at the same time reas- surance Harmon can get. * ** SO while I'm boosting people, I'll sign off with the following quote from an article in the current issue of Collier's on Martha Scott, local girl who made good: "The point is that they moved later to De- troit, where Papa and Mama still live. From there she eventually got to the University of Michigan and fell into the hands of Valentine B. Windt, an ex-Russian who had studied at the Moscow Art Theatre, or at least had studied the Stanislavsky method under Boleslavsky at the American Laboratory Theatre in New York. She gives Mr. Windt credit. Mr. Windt, she says, made her an actress." End quote. So long until soon. Ce Dr" Peex "P400 (Editor's Note-The Brass Ring, good for one free ride on The Washington Merry- Go-Round, goes this week to Sidney Hillman, labor leader and member of the National Defense Advisory Commission.) WASHINGTON- The inside story of the CIO convention was the dramatic duel of wits be- tween the greatest showman in organized labor and the greatest strategist, Each scored in keeping his character. John L. Lewis, tle mop-haired consummate actor, boomed triumphantly through all the oratorical skirmishes and press headlines. Sidney Hillman, the soft-spoken master tactician, won the bat- tle for control. During the first three days, Lewis held all the trump cards-plus the, spotlight. Although he had promised to resign, he was bent on re- taining a firm grip on the CIO helm. To this end he packed the committees with left-wing henchmen and rigged the convention machinery so that he was boss of the show. WITH THE STAGE caretlhy set, Lewis set out to provoke the Hillman-led Amalga- mated Clothing and Textile Workers, the core of the opposition, to bolt the convention. That would have left the numerically stronger oppo- sition helpless and barred the election of Phil Murray, who refused to take the CIO presidency unless assured of a free hand. With Murray out of the way, the left-wingers could have either "drafted" Lewis or elected a complaisant stooge. This was the precarious situation when Hill- man rushed to Atlantic City and took personal command of the battle. Thursday afternoon, af- ter a long night of conferring, he took the plat- form. Hillman didn't make a speech. He is not a stump spieler. He talked, in the same quiet conversational tones he uses when seated at his desk. There were no fireworks and no histrionics, but there was a lot of unanswerable logic. Saved CIO From Split WHEN HILLMAN finished, Lewis had lost the battle. The opposition unions, which had cowed with scorching rhetoric and the packed committees took the offensive behind Hillmai. The noisy but weak left wing caved in. Mur- ray got the assurance he demanded and 24 hours later, Lewis, crooning a tearful swan song, sur- rendered the gavel. The upset of John L. Lewis was not the only feather in Hillman's cap. Equally great a triumph was keeping the CIO from splitting wide open. Certain Communist elements, operating on the "rule or ruin" principle, were bent on split- ting the CIO if balked from winning control. That would have meant chaos in the labor move- ment, the end of any hope for AFL-CIO peace, and a smashing blow to the Roosevelt Adminis- tration. THE TRUE MEASURE of Hillman's strategic mastery was that he tied the can to his op- ponent in such a deft manner that Lewis fol- lowers could not erupt. They would have done so at the drop of the hat had Hillman given voice to one word of personal feeling against Lewis. But Hillman knew that a personal attack was just what Lewis wanted, had tried for months to provoke. And he has fought too many bat- tles in his 24 years as a union leader to fall into that kind of a trap. He suppressed his per- sonal anger and kept fighting to the ground on which Lewis couldn't win-that the CIO was big- ger than any one man and all forces must unite to preserve their common gains. 'The Compromiser' A PET TAUNT of .Hillman's left-wing foes is that he is a compromiser. They are right and wrong. Hillman is a compromiser on ' details but never on principles. It was "compromises" such as the one at At- lantic City which beat the unbeatable Lewis that have won Hillman the dsesrved repuitatin K r'~f - <- -- ,.- i' i O' r ; I ..a' WWI / , -'-,,,c cc ... / --- DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN I SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1940I VOL.
