Christmas Bureau
And Civic Pride . .
CIVIC PRIDE was manifest in Ann
Arbor last week with the anounce-
ment of the opening of the Christmas Bureau, a
*new social welfare organization. Operated by
public-spirited citizens, it is the purpose of the
Christmas Bureau to provide centralized guid-
ance of Christmas-giving by group and indi-
vidual donors so as to eliminate duplication and
misplacement of charity.
The Bureau is similar to the Community Fund,
which was'organized to substitute a single cam-
paign for the competing and confusing cam-
paigns of a large number pf social agencies. In
a like mainer the Bureau should bring bout a
more orderly and equitable distribution of Yule-
tide benevolence.
BUT far more noteworthy than the Bureau's
immediate objective is its nobler, ultimate
purpose. t was aptly expressed in the organiza-
tion's opening statement to the press last week:
"Perhaps, in this period of world crisis, the
most important contribution of this effort is a
recognition that family solidarity is essential to
civilian morale. Convinced of the value of fam-
ily security in retaining the American way of
life, it is oui' hope that we can arrange dona-
tions so that parents can play the role of giver.
Everything should be done to allow parents to
perform their normal functiohs in family life-
strengthening family ties and building toward
solidarity."
Here is an aspect of American life which must
be given considerable recognition in all efforts
for national unity in the struggle against Hit-
lerism. Dictators may look upon families as mere
providers of manpower for armies of destruc-
tion, but in time of peace as well as war they
are the bulwark of this republic equally with the
Constitution. To help families to maintain them-
selves is to build strength of purpose among the
people, without which other means of defense
can be of no avail.
REPRESENTING, as it does, a significant step
toward the national unity which is urgently
needed, the Christmas Bureau deserves the
united support of the University and the com-
munity.

WASHINGTON-Two matters were discussed
at the White House-Congressional confer-
ence on anti-strike legislation, not revealed in
the published reports of the meeting.
One was a proposal to incorporate labor unions
and require them to reveal their financial rec-
ords. The other was a secret ballot on strike
action.
The President approved the first, but turned
down the second.
He declared that he favored unions making
public their revenues and expenditures, just as
business concerns are required to do. This, he
said, would do much to drive racketeers and
other undesirable elements out of unions; also,
put a curb on one man or group control.
HOWEVER, Roosevelt urged that this curb be
extended to include other public bodies, such
as the America First Committee and Fight For
Freedom.
"The public is entitled to know," he said,
"where they are getting their money and how
and for what they are spending it."
The President voiced doubt about the advis-
ability of a compulsory secret strike vote, on the
ground that this did not necessarily insure a
free ballot. Also, he said, it might backfire
against the government.
He pointed out that if a vote held by edict of
law favored 'a strike in an important defense
industry, then the government would be in the
position of sanctioning the shutdown. It was
Roosevelt's opinion that the way to block strikes
was to prevent them from occurring,
Educated Soldiers
LT.Gen. Ben ("Yoo-hoo") Lear is going to
give the 120,000 officers and men of his crack
Second Army an opportunity to Tearn what it
is all about.
The scholarly cavalryman, who fought his
vay from buck private to one of the ablest top
officers in the Army, is instituting an elaborate
educational prograin that will make military
training history. Nothing like it has ever been
tried on such a scale in the U.S. Army.
As part of their military training, and on
training time, every soldier and officer of the
Second Army will be required to attend a series

My Sister Eileen.. ..
WHEN TWOGIRLS set out for New York from
Columbus, (Ohio), with intentions pent-
house, and material resources basement walk-
down, the results, as demonstrated last night at
the Michigan, are (or is as the case may be)
absolute pandemonium. That loud noise-not
the subway blasts-coming from the front rows,
well almost front rows, was me making with
laughter. To take the less personal view of the
production, let us say the only thing lacking was
social significance. It got lost in the rush.
Ruth and Eileen Sherwood, experience most
of the normal and abnormal events of the aver-
age schizophrenic's lifetime during the, course of
three of the damndest hellzapoppin acts I have
ever fallen out of my aisle seat through, and all
all in the midst of the privacy that is Grand
Central. I can't go through all that happens.
The scene, as the program so originally states,
is a basement apartment in Greenwich Village.
The characters, some of them, are a Greek artist
landlord, a stumble-boy like Denny, two -drunks,
an Irish cop who thinks the girls are-you know,
various sets of legs, male and female, an Army
officer who also thinks the girls are, (case of
mistaken identity, they all mean the previous
tenant, named Violet), an unmarried couple, one
of whom plays pro football and wears shorts, a
Russian doorman, six Brazilian naval cadets who
also etc. etc., and others.+
THERE'S NO USE going through the cast to
pick the All-Americans. They're all All-Amer-
icans, doing as nice a fast-paced, beautifully
played job*of howling comedy as it has been my
pleasure to see since Whitsuntide. In brief,

her coffers in the purchase of silk and manu-
factured goods. Japanese business has suffered
tremendously from the loss of American markets.
This is one of the reasons for Kurusu's eight-
thousand-mile jaunt. It is necessary that some
sort of American aid through diplomatic chan-
nels be obtained if Japan is going to hold any
vestige of strength and prestige in the Western
Pacific.
The strained diplomatics between Japan and
Thailand hinges upon the outcome of the Wash-
ington negotiations. In an attempt to display
strength in the Far East, Nippon has provoked
another 'incident' in which she hopes to assert
her dominance of Eastern Asia.
But nom the situation has changed. While
Kurusu came here with definite-though per-
haps not glittering-proposals, the state depart-
ment has seen fit to toss the ball back into the
lap of the visitors. The fate of Japan now lies
in any attempt that she may make in new ag-
gression in Thailand, in the Dutch East Indies,
or elsewhere at her own choosing.
IN TURN the future of these colonies lies in,
the hands of the United States. Secretary
Hull has emphatically denounced any such move
as provocative of American action. He has con-
of weekly lectures by outstanding educators and
experts.
THIS UNIQUE PROGRAM will run 13 peeks,
with more than 400 carefully selected offi-
cers and civilian educators conducting the
classes. The lectures, totalling three hours a
week, will be divided into. two general courses:
(1) general educational, (2) the organization,
functions and operations of the U.S. armed serv-
ices, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Corps.
After this basic program has been completed,
Lear will follow it up with a one-hour weekly
lecture on current affairs by outstanding author-
ities.
Purpose of the plan is to improve the military
training and effectiveness of the civilian soldiers.
It is Lear's enlightened view that the American
soldier will be an even better soldier than he
already is if he has a clear grasp of why he is in
the Army and how an army functions from top
to bottom.

Chicago Symphony Concert
A CAPACITY AUDIENCE greeted the long-
awaited appearance of the Chicago Orches-
tra Sunday. And judging by the amount of ap-
plause for Dr. Stock as he made his entrance, it
was readily apparent that Ann Arbor concert-
goers were welcoming an old friend.
Refreshing indeed were the musical aspects
in a program of a popular nature. Refreshing,
also, was the knowledge that here was an organ-
ization succeeding in presenting music without
the benefit of an articulate press agentry col-
ored lights, ballet-minded conductors, and ex-
travagant arrangements of Bach. The program,
true enough, following the Bach and Strauss,
indulged in bountiful climaxes that would have
drawn the vociferous approval of a clam. How-
ever, to hear such musicianly playing, regardless
of the compositions, was a genuine pleasure.
THE B minor Suite may well have been the be-
ginning and end of the concert., The string
section of the orchestra displayed a composite
tone not ponderous or sensuous, but rich and
mellow, full-bodied and well practiced. Yet, in
spite of this tonal opulence, there was an amaz-
ing clarity and-precision; a sharp-edged intona-
tion that extended even to the double basses (a
usual source of muddy musicianship). Apart
from the excellence of the strings, the work of
Mr. Liegl in the flute obligatos cannot, under
any circumstances, be overlooked. Flute playing
such as he demonstrated is not usually expected,
and when it comes, it does cause a gasp of
amazement from an average concert-goer and
a furore among, musicians. The obbligatos were
clean and rhythmically perfect. The intonation
stood without reproach, and the tone quality
displayed a true flute character without that
repulsive vibrato practiced in certain quarters.
STRAUSS, unwittingly perhaps, indulged rath-
er freely in eclecticism. Although this was a
youthful product, it is possible to discern the
effects of Brahms and Wagner upon his art.
However, the roots of his mature style are pres-
ent though disclosed more in the matter of or-
chestration rather than thematic .development.
Like so many composers who musically extol the
scenic virtues of Italy, Strauss kept his idiom
thoroughly imbuedwith a romantic nostalgia.
Dr. Stock then led the orchestra through the
Tschaikowgky fantasia, "Francesca Da Rimini."
This, a veritable maelstrom of sound at both
ends with a melody in the middle, presented a
problem which was solved to the best possible
advantage. If it is played too slowly, the monot-
ony becomes obnoxious. If it is played too fast,
then the amount of notes preclude a disastrous
result even for the nimble fingers of the string
section. Dr. Stock accounted for the problem
neatly by employing a moderate tempo and
making discreet cuts in the score. The per-
formance was wholly satisfactory.
THE ORCHESTRA resumed the concert fol-
lowing the intermission with Elgar's " 'Enig-
ma' Variations." A broad conception, this, of
the theme and variations form. It must ulti-
mately be learned as a series of separate tunes
whose relation to the original theme is vague,
to say the least. Dr. Stock gave it a spirited
reading that was marred on several occasions
by a lagging brass and woodwind section.
Dragging rout an old warhorse, the program
closed with Rimsky-Korsakoff's "Spanish Ca-
price." This piece is still played, I presume,
simply for the purpose of showing that it can
be played correctly. Its brilliance jaded by too
frequent hearings in almost every possible per-
version by amateur and professional groups,
suddenly springs to life under the impetus of a
rational baton and virtuoso players.
A TRIBUTE must be made to Dr. Stock who
kept his musical balance through the diffi-
cult years when symphonic concerts attracted
customers through the addition of vaudeville-
like attractions to their programs. A dean of

THE FATE of U. S.-Japanese relations
is once again in the hands of the
Japanese. Envoy Kurusu will soon trek home-
ward carrying responsibility to his government
for maintaining peace in the Pacific.
After three weeks. of prolonged conferences
with the state department and the President,
it appears evident that the United States intends
not to assume any appeasement plan in the Far
East. Such a program would have devastating
effect on the war against totalitarianism and
would critically weaken the position of the de-
mocracies in three magnitudes-militarily, po-
litically, and economically.
Any plan at compromise could not be made
without a victory for Japan, because under no
circumstances can she afford to give up her Chi-
nese drive. The work and sacrifices of the past
nine years will not be abandoned for the sake
a
