Church ill Speaks
On Need For Men..
. 0
ONE OF THE KEY ARGUMENTS of
the all-aid-short-of-war faction has
been that we Americans can help England to
the hilt without burning, our fingers. "It is not
a qquestion of men," says this faction. "England
does not need men. All they need is materials.
We are not advocating another A.E.F. because
it is not required." You have probably heard
the argument.
Now the all-aid faction undoubtedly has many
more arguments than this, but let no one fool
you on this one, at least. After Winston Church-
ill's speech Wednesday it is no longer sound
logic, if it ever was. For Mr. Churchill pointed
out quite plainly where an American A.E.F.
would be used.
CHURCHILL described to Parliament a
a giant army for defense and offense,
an "ambitious" army that will seek an op-
portunity to start marching through Europe,
on to Berlin. There will be a lot of Argonne
Forests and Chateaux Thierrys where Amer-
ican boys would come in mighty handy. It
is rumored that Mr. Churchill has become
very insistent that the United States de-
clare war. No wonder. r
Another recent news dispatch told that Eng-
land was calling all men from 16 to 65 to serv-
ice. Not many of these adolescents and grand-
fathers will actually do any fighting; they will
be used as fire-guards and book-outs and in
industry. But this action does indicate Eng-
land's need for men, especially if there is to be
a British Drang Nach Osten.
Churchill wantsi and expects, American men.
It is going to take a determined stand of those
who swear that "The Yanks are not coming" to
keep him from having his way.

Col. Lindbergh
And Appeasement
BOUT FOURTEEN YEARS AGO
an unknown youth set out across
the Atlantic Ocean in a plane. He landed safe-
ly in Paris and became one of the most popular
heroes this country has known.
Thursday this same aviator appeared before
a Congressional committee and testified on an
extremely crucial issue. He did not testify as
a mere aviation expert but as an authority on
foreign policy and military strategy as well.
The spectacle of a once popular aviator being
treated by Congress and the daily press, which
devoted banners to his utterances, as both a
\espected military strategist and a foreign pol-
icy savant would make a splendid musical com-
edy material for a Kaufman or a Ryskind if
the situation were not as serious as it is.
Charles A. Lindbergh knows aviation, and,
once that statement is made, the peak of his
knowledge on foreign policy questions or any
other political issues has been described.
He is a man who left this country because
he believed that an excess of democracy, the
sensational press, had brought personal
tragedy to his family. When he visited Ger-
many recently he was treated very cordially
by Nazi officials: he was even given a medal
a family quarrel that could be patched up easily
by a negotiated peace. He said during the sum-
mer that if the war would continue, with Ger
many emerging as the victor, that we should
try to deal with her as a neighbor and not as
an enemy. Now when it appears that Germany
will probably win, if we do not increase our aid
to Great Britain immediately, he advises, "Don't
bother, it's too late now."
His analysis throughout completely neglects
the abundant evidence that Adolf Hitler leads
a dynamic, nihilist, barbaric movement that
seeks to dominate the world.
The question of motive is always difficult to
determine when one is not intimately acquainted
with the personality under discussion. In the
present case we have tried. however, to indicate
some of the influences on the most prominent
appeaser in the United States. We feel that
whenever Lindbergh's opinions are aired the
public should realize that while he may be re-
spected as an authority on aviation, his utter-
ances on political and international matters
should be viewed as the expressions of an em-1
bittered aviator who wants to appease fascism.

Siesta Prohibition
Is Deph lred r.
E CAN WELL IMAGINE the con-
sternation with which the most re-
cent order of the new government in Mexico has
been received-the order banning the siesta
hereafter for government employes.
To the Mexican the siesta is not only a privi-
lege, it is a custom, a tradition, an ordination.
What la gloire is-or was-to the Frenchman,
what love to waltz time was to pre-war Vienna,
what tenor arias sung by swart gondoliers are
to the Venetian, that the siesta is to the Mex-
ican. It is art, it is poetry, is is satisfied
emotion.
The taking of the siesta is a simple thing,
to a people unbothered by insomnia. In its least
complex form it consists in lying flat on the
ground, preferably in the shade of a building
or some other shade-giving object, with the
sombrero tipped over the eyes, and surrendering
thus to sleep. There are various gradants of
the process, including the sybaratic practice of
stretching upon a silken, perfumed couch with
the soft melody of a guitar strummed in the
background.
But it isn't how you take your siesta so much
as whether you take it in Mexico. Only south
of the Rio Grande is the true siesta taken; only
there is all the tender beauty and satisfaction
of the process appreciated.
And there he who eschews the siesta is con-
sidered dead to rapture, for -him there is only
despair and pity-a gringo without soul or
aesthetic sensibilities.
Yet here is a government harshly ordaining
government employes to work straight through
the day, without even a stop for 40 winks. Gov-
ernment employes, per se, have been the deepest
devotees of the siesta. The order is thus not
only revolutionary, but contrary to the laws of
Nature. We foresee imminent difficulty ahead
for the new government of Mexico.
Take away a Mexican's vote, his pulque even
his tbrtillas and frijoles, and he may hate you,
but he will abide by your decision. But when
you take away his siesta, then, senor, look out!
Far lesser things in Mexico have meant revo-
lution.

LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR
To the Editor:
"Whatever the outcome of the war, America
has embarked upon a career of imperialism, both
in world affairs and in every other aspect of her
life with all the opportunities, responsibilities
and perils which that implies . . . Even though,
by our aid, England should emerge from this
struggle without defeat, she will be so impover-
ished economically and crippled in prestige that
it is improbable she will be able to resume or
maintain the dominant position in world affairs
which she has occupied so long. At best, Eng-
land will become a junior partner in a new
Anglo-Saxon imperialism, in which the econom-
ic resources and the military and naval strength
of the United States will be the center of gravity.
Southward in our hemisphere and westward in
the Pacific the path of empire takes its way,
and in modern terms of economic power as
well as political prestige, the sceptre passes to
the United States."
This is quoted from Virgil Jordan, president
of the National Industrial Conference Board in
a speech to the Investment Bankers Association
Dec. 10, 1940. I wonder, in view of Prof. Slos-
son's characterization of those who call this an
imperialist war, whether he would let us know
whether Jordan is sincere or not, or whether he
is simply confused?

chapel at 7:30, led by President Angell.
or, .7 - An
Tb'li Repy Churih'
by TOUCHSTONE
THOUGHT for the opening of a short story,
when you have a cold like mine. "Watching
the lungs tearing bit by bit from his small
daughter, Dr. X felt a qualm for an instant.
Ten more patients passed away, coughing and
sneezing, as he stood there. 'But it isn't an epi-
demic,' he muttered fiercely to himself. 'You
could scarcely call it an epidemic.'
For the MODDOB column, meaning my own
dampn DOB, a notice to Prof. Edward L. Adams,
Romance Languages Department. Sorry, had
sore throat, couldn't make it to class. The paper
is either on your desk or on the floor of your
office. Will be there Monday. Yours. Touch-
stone.
For all my other profs. Don't be surprised if
you catch it tooooooooo, whoooooooooo?. why the
floooooooooo.
Sneezy thoughts in a sneezy, coughy (no sink-
ers) season. And to think they pay me for this.
I AASCOTT held forth the other day about the
merits of hearing a man say get the hell
out of here in a movie. He might be interested
to learn that a carefully edited March of Time,
another of Henry "Mars" Luce's ventures, shows
in the midst of a pro-war sequence, a single
shot of an anti-war man. It catches him as he
is saying crankily, impatiently, "My god, the
people don't want to go to war-," which, the
March of Time, with its sombre voiced com-
mentator, its high pressure, bullying propa-
ganda methods, seems to feel is quite enough
to let any anti-war may say in these times. But
it is cussing. Probably the WCTU will register
its disapproval of peace-mongers swearing, and
several maiden ladies will knit more furiously
against the day when Mr. Luce and his buddies
go down that long, long trahull with yew.
DANCE
By JOHN MALCOLM BRINNIN
Members of the Dance Club of the University
presented one of their infrequent recitals last
evening in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. In
a kinder mood, a reviewer might report that the
program offered variety in dance forms and
techniques, whereas present judgment must call
it a melange. Talent and ineptitude seemed to
run a race throughout the evening and it was
only by virtue of numbers that ineptitude claimed
the final curtain. From such a background, it
must suffice to delineate those individuals and
those performances which demonstrated a de-
gree of promise or accomplishment.
Joseph Gornbein's solo, "Fanfare," must stand
first among these. Clarity of theme, sharpness
and originality of movement distinguished Mr.
Gornbein's performance. He succeeded in using
a broad stage space to best advantage, and, if
it were not for certain eccentric movements
that cropped out here and there, the dance
might have achieved perfection in its genre.
"Show Piece," a duet in which Mr. Gornbein
was joined by Helen Ellis, again demonstrated
the growth of this young artist during the past
year. In this selection both dancers moved with
ease and the sort of mechanical mockery that
the chorepgraphy and the Shostokovich music
demanded. The group dances on the whole
tended to be ragged and confusing, though Miss
Bloomer, director of the group, contributed a
finished individual performance to "Work Song,"
one of Two Dances on Negro Themes. The per-
formance of your reviewer's poem, "The Eve-
ning," was an experiment in the combination of
the poetic and dance forms. This union of media
demands a close integration of movement with
the spoken word, and last night's performance
cannot be said to have achieved this. Though
Mr. Gornbein's movement was in itself inter-
esting, the offstage voice of the interpreter
seemed completely removed from the space of
movement.
"Berceuse 1941," composed and danced by Sara
Graf, was an ambitious attempt, and though, at
times, it suggested dignity and a certain emo-
tional strength, its ultimate effect was static
and heavy. The first half of the program con-
sisted of a children's ballet-pantomime adapted
from the fairy-story, "Hansel and Gretel." I1
is difficult to believe that children of this Super-
man generation could be held by such a lam-
bent and prettified performance. Though the
sudden shift of assembled angels' wings in one
of the choral numbers did suggest nothing so
much as a can-can. If, suddenly, someone had
naughtily snapped a garter we should not have
been surprised.
