Studeit War Board
May Fill Need..
T HE STUDENT BODY of the Univer-
sity of Michigan has not compiled
a very enviable record in its war activity since
December 7. It has treated blood banks and
defense savings drives with the same smug diffi-
dence it once reserved for mere campus issues.
the Committee of 1942, born in a blaze of pub-
licity, was gently ignored along with any of its
attempts to awaken interest in the war.
N ORDER to stimulate some awareness of our
present situation and its demands, in order
40 answer the often-heard screams for "some-
thing to do, and in order to infuse cohesion into
existing campus war projects, the Student War
Board has been set up. It has already asked for
lull reports on current activities and it has been
granted the right of jurisdiction over future
projects.
There have already been some criticisms of
this new board for the manner in which it was
chosen, and there probably will be even more.
No group can attempt to bring government into
anarchy without some loud howls. The Com-
mittee of 1942 didn't try to make anything com-
pulsory. It met every so often in a big room at
the Union, and sometimes it gave the campus
something to do-if the campus wanted to do it.
The Committee of 1942 was a harmless, sort of
speech society. That was all.
T HE NEW Student War Board is not a guaran-
tee of immediate conversion of campus leth-
argy into all-out war work. Such a hope would
be inconsistent with every aspect of this Uni-
versity's student body, besides a flaunting of
precedent. It is, however, the most representa-
tive and most efficient group that could be set
up in a situation where time had been too long
considered a free good. It is also the best that
could be done on a campus that is not too well
acquainted with efficient representative gov-
ernment.
Now is not the time to quibble over methods
of selectiop nor tQ stand up for one's cherished
right to do nothing. The Student War Board
offers men and women students alike an in-
strument with which they can forge the begin-
nings of an equitable campus contribution to
the nation's struggle. But if the students con-
tinue to show the same disinterest in the United
States' greatest crisis, then we can only suggest
secession.

Pearson And Allen's
'Sixth Column' . .
THREE WEEKS AGO, on their Sun-
day evening broadcast, Pearson and
Allen joined the Sixth Column of those unwit-
tingly aiding our Axis enemies.
They told an anxiously waiting world how
Genevieve Samp, 25-year-old worker ait the Na-
tional Stamping Company, had been suspended
from Local 270, UAW (CIO) because she
"worked too hard on war production." Pearson
and Allen stated that the union's local had
caused her to lose her job there on the grounds
that by working too fast she had "killed jobs"

TOT HE EDITOR
Emergency Fund . .
To the Editor:
HlE Emergency Fund for Foreign Students has
been made possible by the generous support
given the International Dinner, the proceeds of
which have gone into this fund the past two
years. There have been from time to time other
contributions to the fund from individual friends
and from organizations of various sorts. Alto-
gether, the Fund has remained pitiably limited;
at most it has provided $300 a year. But looking
back over the two years-the two dreadful
years-I wonder how I could have managed
without it.
I cannot violate the confidence of my students
to speak too concretely of the situations in which
the Fund has been used where recourse to the
regular loan funds of the University would have
broken the pride and morale of young people
already suffering all they could bear. I can say
in general that this Fund has been used in small
amounts to meet emergencies requiring imme-
diate help, ministered in a personal and sympa-
thetic way: students trying to do their work
without textbooks or drawing instruments; stu-
dents embarrassed by delayed funds, attempting
to get along without proper food, students in-
adequately clothed for our rigorous winter
weather. If the account of these cases could
ever be told, it would be a tragic evidence of
what the accursed war has done to the young
lives of the flower of the countries that have
gone down in the cataclysm.
THE FUND is used at the discretion of the
Counselor; it is a revolving fund; the student
understands that he is lent the money to meet
his immediate need, that when, and if, he can
return it, it will be used to help another in a
similar situation, but he is made to feel that he
must not allow any sense of obligation add to
his already heavy burden of distress. As has
been the experience of the University over years
of lending to students, the students have been
conscientious in appreciating and honoring the
generous and humane policy with which this
Fund is administered.
For more than a quarter of a century the
Counselor to Foreign Students has urged the
need of such a fund. He still hopes that the small
beginning may lead to the final achievement of
an adequate provision of this sort. Meantime
such projects as the International Ball, and the
International Dinner supplemented by gifts from
our friends will continue to make possible many
humane provisions for student needs.

To the Editor:
WE, the youth of America, have been called
apathetic. This may apply to some of us.
But why are we all thus vilified? Is it because
we are frivolous and fickle? No, it is because we
are frustrated, torn between the desire of com-
pleting our education and the responsibility of
serving our country. In solving this problem
many of us have heeded the advice of our elders
and stayed in school. But still we are called
apathetic.
It has been suggested that we be given the
mental and fioral responsibility of voting and
keeping physically fit for war. Yet we feel that
we should do something more in meeting the
present needs. Aren't there some responsibilities
for us to assume right now? We who have not
yet been called to the colors want a vital part
in winning this war now!
DO YOU KNOW that a bare minimum of 2,000
male students in the University of Michigan
are not taking, or cannot take, advantage of the
summer term this year? These are accurate fig-
ures from the War Board and exclude those
medical, dental and engineering students whose
technical education cannot' be interrupted at
this time. Imagine what potentialities are con-
tained in this group and others like them!

There is a definite need for many things that
our idle manpower can supply. The U. S. needs
a military highway to Alaska. Let us build it!
There is a crying need for laborers on the farms
and in the factories. Let us be labor! Harness
our idle power and give us our deserved part in
this war. Let government recruit us as labor.
Would it be too much to ask of us to give four
to six months of our college careers to our coun-
try? Send us to Alaska, to the farms and fac-
tories.
SOME WILL SAY that the education of youth
for post-war reconstruction must not be dis-
rupted. But would a brief break in our educa-
tion work any hardships on us? No! Besides,
before we can reconstruct the post-war world,
we must first win the war. Having shared in
the great effort to preserve democracy, youth
will face the task of reconstruction with an
increased faith in democracy.
We must put all of our energies into winning
this war. We must create a firmer democracy
from the common backbreaks and heartbreaks
that are to come. There is a job to do; let us do
it! Why not call on youth to work for victory?

WASHINGTON-A short time ago Australian
Minister Casey received a cable from Melbourne
which read:
"Please arrange meetings for me with heads
of AF of L and CIO. Want no lahledah enter-
tainment while I'm in Washington."
The instruction came from Casey's boss, Aus-
tralian Minister of External Affairs Herbert J.
Evatt.
Casey, extremely popular with Washington's
social upper crust, had to reply that he did not
know any American labor leaders, could not ar-
range the introductions. Casey has since re-
signed as Australian Minister to enter the British
cabinet, but his chief, External Minister Evatt,
is now in Washington and is the most invig-
orating visitor this country has seen since Win-
ston Churchill.
Reason Minister Evatt wanted to meet U.S.
labor leaders was because he is a member of
one of the few labor governments in the world,
and because he is convinced that American
labor could profit by some of the mistakes and
lessons of Australian labor.
"In Australia," says Evatt, "we haven't had
one strike, Labor has patched up all its differ-
ences for the duration. We have the same fac-
tions that you do ._-. like your AF of L and CIO -
but there's no quarrel between them now. The
last thing they want is to row while the country's
in danger."
Nelson Mystery
FRIENDS of war production chief Donald Nel-
son are baffled. They can't understand why
he isn't ridding his staff of dollar-a-year men
whose incompetence and profit-minded obstruc-
tionism are hampering him and bringing down
on his head a storm of public criticism.
Personally sincere, conscientious and able, Nel-
son, in the three months hie has been WPB
boss, has accomplished much in bringing order
and drive into the production program. He has
licked many tough problems and shown himself
an executive of courage and imagination - ex-
cept in one vital respect. That is in failing to
surround himself with assistants of top caliber
and punch.
It was expected when Nelson took charge that
he would purge the deadwood and worse that
had made such a tragic shambles of OPM. In-
stead, he took over the OPM high command
practically intact. Further, of the few changes
he did make, several were worse than the officials
they replaced.
For example: Philip Reed, glad-handing Gen-
eral Electric mogul, had been anything but a
shining success in several key OPM posts. It
was an open secret that one of his chiefs was
trying to find a way to ease him out. Insiders
took it for granted that Reed would be one of
the first dropped by Nelson. Instead, to every-
one's astonishment, the dawdling dollar-a-yearer
was made head of the key Bureau of Industry
Branches.
However, nothing was said publicly about this
situation at the time in the belief that it was
inly temporary and that as soon as Nelson had
disposed of more pressing matters he would
clean up his staff.
Note: Among the nearly 300 dollar-a-year men
:n Nelson's staff is Ralph Wolf, an official of
Standard Oil of New Jersey, who is assistant
director of the synthetic rubber section of WPB.

admit that I contributed my share toward these

"The first I knew of the statements of Pearson
and Allen was when my attention was called to
their reikiks on the radio. I do not know
where they got their information, but I dO know
that it is not true.
"Tt seems ,t me that the people who are circu-
lating this false story are trying to use Ine as a
tool to discredit my union and organized labor.
I have been a member of the UAW (CIO) for
many years and no one knows better than I do
the need which workers have for their unions
and the benefit they get from them.

union are not doing everything they can t,) in-
crease production of war materials is either
ignorant or an enemy of unions or is himself
trying to interfere with turning out war work..
"I am proud to be a loyal member of a union
which is doing its patriotic dutyr and I deeply
resent the attempt on the part of labor haters to
make incidents of disturbances which are en-
tirely personal and give thene a vicious arid
unfounded meaning."
