Repel Nazi Threat
With Total Effort . .
T HE BUNGLING, "pass the buck"
policy of the American government
has finally struck a well-deserved snag in Pana-
ma's refusal to arm its American-owned mer-
chant vessels. Even though Senator "Repeal of
the Neutrality Act will make us more neutral"
Connally has protested the Central American
republic's action, Panama, whether under a
"fascist" ruler or not, is well within its rights
in refusing to remain the scapegoat of our two-
faced diplomacy.
When the Neutrality Act was passed in 1935,
its purpose was a literal one-to preserve 'the
non-belligerency of the United States. But af-.
ter the declaration sof war in 1938, the state de-
partment realized the necessity for aid-to-Brit-
ain and permitted American vessels to sail under
Panama registry. This was done so that we
could aid England and still preserve a word-of,
mouth peace. The various oil companies and
freight lines operating under the Panama flag
were doing so in government-approved defiance
of the laws of the government. This apparent
redundancy becomes less puzzling when the past
actions of Congress in defense measures (such
as draft extension) is recalled.
PANAMA'S REFUSAL to violate her own neu-
trality because politics prevent us from dis-
carding our hysterical blindness, should serve
several important purposes. In the first place,
it prescribes euthanasia for the ailing Neutrality
Act. If we want to protect our shipments to
Britain, we imust protect them under our own"
flag. Insignificant °Panama cannot be blamed
for its unwillingness to directly face Germany
when its colossal northern neighbor shows the
same lethargy.
But Panama, the repeal of the Neutrality Act,
and arming of our merchant vessels are still
" only a smokescreen for the real issue-the ques-
tion of our concern in the war and our future
participation. Even the isolationist dowager
who can't get silk stockings should be willing
to admit that America First is impractical eco-
nomic policy. The rising 'cost of living (its in-
crease since the beginning of the war has been
estimated at ten percent), the growing scarcity
of consumer goods, and the psychological effect
of universal conscription have brought the Euro-
pean conflict into our very boudoirs. It cannot
be ejected, although its presence embarrasses so
many of our political Victorians.
Thus, whether our government wishes to tech-
nically commit itself or not, the war is with us.
Cash-and-carry became lease-lend, and it is now
freedom of the seas, all evasions of our actual
feeling and the policy we shall be forced to
adopt. Our tactics of undeclared warfare are
much too reminiscent of Hitler's international
dishonesty. We want to aid Britain and the
Allies, but are unwilling to incur the responsibili-
ties 'of such a course. Panama's declaration has
brought this home to the American public and
a few more such declarations might bring it
home to our constituent-governed Congressmen.
T HE ARGUMENTS against a declaration of
war, as laid down by the interventionists,
are even more ludicrous than isolationist claims
of our invulnerability. The interventionist does
not want to declare war because our present
false peace enables us to hedge our obligations
to the countries battling Hitler. But unfortun-
ately, the time for double-toned phrases and
IT has been brought to my attention that some
person has predicted a slow, but rather early
death for Perspectives, the campus literary mag-
azine. This I cannot admit to be quite the truth,
though I can appreciate the type of mind which
might believe it. To the bourgeoise mind, typog-
raphy is often mistaken for literary excellence.
Perspectives, like most literary magazines I sup-
pose, has proved beyond argument that under
whatsoever name it may have, it can't make
money. However, since I am .dealing with a
gentleman obviously well-informed on the books
of the several student publications, it should
not be necessary to point out that making money
is the exception rather than the rule for student
publications.
However, as part of the great Midwestern
spirit that keeps the wheels of industry turning,
a humor magazine has continued to appear-
you've got to keep 'em cheerful, haven't you,
fellows?-anda yearbook, richly bound and
handsomely printed as the book catalogues say,
bumps heavily onto the student consciousness
every spring-plenty of good old bathos, nice
alumni sentiment, keeps 'em endowing things,
don't it, gang? As to literature-which obviously
has to be written by some one, perhaps even
students who attended a large Midwestern uni-
versity-well literature nowadays isn't the same
as when old Harriet B. Stowe was going strong.
You don't find any more poems like Thanatopsis
being turned out, do you, old boy, nor anything
that stacks of alongside Whittier, or Howells,
or Jerome K. Jerome? No siree, literature today
is either dangerous or pornographic, or maybe
both, and though you read your wife's lending-
library copies of the sexier items on the lists,
you don't want to have the confounded thing§
in the house where just anybody might get holt
of 'em. Not you, by crackee!
RESPECTABLE LITERATURE BOOKS look
like the Atlantic Monthly, or Harper's-it
doesn't come out on half-size newsprint, in the
same type used for body type on the college
newspaper. It just ain't practical to allow those
long-haired birds to get their paws on enough
money to bring out something that looks good,
is it, boy? On the other hand, since obviously
the magazine looks like hell, it'll probably die
a slow death, because from your own experience
you know people won't read a thing like that.
Cfle
D" ftew
And so, in a town devoted to the mores of the
clubwoman, in a center of Culture with a capital
but nervous 'C', you kind of figger that there
magazine is on the skids. After all, the Alumni
Quarterly prints enough nice informative arti-
cles, and even some poems for filler, and the
kids can get back to their books, and lose all
this nonsense about writing.
But let's consider this thing in terms of dol-
lars and cents, an approach which will be
amenable to you I am sure. This here now
Avery Hopwood left two-hunderd-thousan'-dol-
lars, think of that now, two-hunderd-thousand
($200,000) smackeroos, simoleons, bucks, to the
University, and the idea was that every year
the interest was to be used for prizes awarded
for creative writing. Guess ol' Avery wanted his
alma mater to become a center of letters other
than the Varsity kind, eh boy?
Well now, as a business man, you can see that
all that dough would sort of attract a lot of
long hairs out to get what they could. Mebbe
some of 'em might even be good writers- like
Bud Kelland, he was born right here in this
here state. Or Gene Stratton Porter, or the
sweet singer of Michigan. Yeah, now I'm talk-
in', eh boy? Stuff the folks like, plain simple
stuff, about love, and the woods, and cowboys.
Eddie Guest at the breakfast table.
Oh, then you don't object to literature per se?
Just certain kinds. The kinds that lose money
and die slow deaths. Writing has to stand on
its own two feet, with no help from you. Yes sir,
that's the spirit.
WELL, MAC, as a business man, you know all
about the values of specialization. Now
Perspectives is not run alone by those nutty-
looking kids who lack that wisdom which age,
lots of age, alone can give. Before anything ap-
pears in Perspectives it is read and voted on by
a faculty board, composed of members of the
University English department. These men are
not ardent modernists, nor I am sure would they
consent to my calling them radicals. But they
do make literature their life work. They study
it, they write it. So if you sorta figger the maga-
zine is run by and caters to a clique, you'll have
a tough time figgerin' out just what clique it is.
Any writer who submits a manuscript to Pers-
pectives gets it read many times, and when the
time comes for picking material for publication,
judgment on the worth of the stories, articles,
poems and reviews couldn't be much more fair
without the Marquis of Queensbury himself
climbing into the ring.
If we were given more money, I feel quite cer-
tain we could handle problems of makeup and
typography quite successfully. We are responsi-
ble for the contents of the magazine. If you
will take the trouble to read some of that seven-
point type, and if you can get away from the
office long enough, perhaps even compare the
Perspectives brand of stuff with a few other
more dignified-appearing literary magazines
from other universities, I feel quite sure that
you will see hopeful signs of recovery, in fact,
perhaps, even that the magazine has never been
sick. If you need any help on the long words, I
can arrange for a staff member to be on hand
with Webster's Unabridged. See you in the
funny papers. To the rest of you, so long until
soon.

From Modern Design
To Victor Herbert
INSANITY is selling at a premium these days,
and therefore Sammy Kaye's latest for Vic-
tory ought to be a bigger hit than Daddy or the
Hut-Sut Song. This novelty, called Modern De-
sign, foregoes the rillera, but is nevertheless
"absolutely nuts," as the lyrics explain. The
song is a musical take-off on the corny cigarette
advertiser who profiteers on national defense.
On the land, in the air and on the sea Sammy
Kaye takes advantage of the screwy (oo-o-o-o-
oooo-uup) sounds emanating from our radios
these days .. . On the other side, When Winter
Comes is a fair enough vocal by Tommy Ryan.
Earl Hines chops out another hot number in
Yellow Fire. There isn't much of The Father's
piano in this one, but that's made up by the
brilliant work of every soloist in the band . . .
the reverse side of this Bluebird disc is a good
swing-vocal version of It Had To Be You with
Madeline Greene and the Three Varieties.
An old Fletcher Henderson tune of about 12
years ago, The Birth of the Blues, is revived by
Teddy Powell on Bluebird. Although it's an old
tune, the recording is up to the minute, and
Ruth Gaylor does a fine vocal job. On the same
disc is Make Love To Me, one of the soft-and-
slows that are Ruth Gaylor's specialty.
Ma-Ma-Maria and The Man In the Moon, two
hit parade candidates, are done without sparkle
in Glenn Miller's slow style (Bluebird).
ZIGGY ELMAN does a heart-rending trumpet
solo of Eli, Eli with T. Dorsey's Orchestra,
his best job since he joined Dorsey. On the B
side is Tschaikowsky's None But the Lonely
Heart in a dirge-like trombone solo by Dorsey.
(Victor).
Tito Guizar, the Mexican movie star, records
an appealing pair of Mexican popular songs,
Darling Camela and Little Princess, for Victor.
Lilting music and amusing Spanish lyrics.
TONY PASTOR assumes Glenn Miller's style
in his latest, The Bells of San Raquel. The
rousing football novelty also on this Bluebird
platter, A Pretty Coed Has Gone To My Head,
completes this waxing.
Victor has just released, on a 12-inch black
seal record, Victor Herbert's American Fantasy,
in a ,nnrna nn rinuht with the nresent nnn-

pe':ts his degree.

WASHINGTON-,Now that Harry Bridges has
been tabbed for deportation, the Justice
Department is planning to put the bee on other
noisy alien ismists.
First of those marked for the axe is Fritz
Kuhn, ex-Fuehrer of the German-American
Bund.
A petition in equity will be filed soon in the
Northern District Court of New York to revoke
Kuhn's citizenship on the ground that he lied
when he swore to support and defend the Con-
stitution fit the time he was naturalized in 1934.
,Also that he did not, in fact, renounce his al-
legiance to Germany.
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT will charge
that Kuhn's "subsequent acts" as organizer
and leader of the un-American Bund prove its
charge. A number of precedents will be cited
whereby the citizenship of naturalized aliens
was revoked because of un-American conduct
subsequent to receiving their papers.
The action will be brought while Kuhn is still
in Clinton Prison, Dannemora, N. Y., serving a
term for embezzlement of Bund funds. How-
ever, even should the Federal Court revoke his
citizenship, there is small likelihood that he will
be deported when' his sentence expires next
June.
Authorities doubt that Germany would take
the Bund leader back. Also, there would be no
Way to ship him to Germany while the war lasts.
Loss of citizenship, however, would terminate
his Bund activities, as he would be forced to
register as an alien, and would be und'er constant
surveillance.
Russia's Chances
THERE IS considerable undercover disagree-
ment inside the Administration regarding
Russia's chances, but Averell Harriman's reports
are fairly encouraging. In general, he has found
that Russia has rifles, artillery, and shells for
the time being, but will need all the tanks, anti-
aircraft guns and airplanes this country can
produce.
Harriman also reports that the Red Army
intends to continue active warfare during the
winter, though the Nazis may go into semi-
hibernation during the sub-zero snows of the
North.
But in the War Department, always bearish
regarding the Russian military picture, there
has been a good deal of skepticism about the
reports received from our own representatives
in'Moscow. For a long time none of our mili-
tary attaches was permitted to visit the battle
fronts. Secretary of War Stimson once gave the
Russian Ambassador a personal dressing down
on this point, with no result.
